[Q] HDMI on AOSP - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I need to plug my Android phone into a TV for work to display apps and Chrome browser pages in a few days, and from what I can gather it's possible. I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.2 (4.3.1) with KToonsez kernel. What cable do I need and what do I need to do to get it to work properly?

You need a MHT Compliant Micro HD to Full HD Cable. Many of the cheap cables in the market are made for Galaxy S2 with its 10 pin layout. They don't work for Galaxy S3 with its 11 pin layout. If its work related and want reliable cable then I'd suggest buy from Samsung or a Samsung Branded one on Amazon.
If you want Portable Android on TV then take a look at Smart Stick in my signature.

Thanks for the reply. My boss actually ordered some smart sticks like that, he doesn't have them yet but needs me to get them working the day of when he does get them, and wants me to test some apps to see if they scale to an HDTV properly. He knows I flash roms and such so I'm now the designated tester and installer for all our smart sticks at our upcoming conference lol.

Are they from FAVI corp ? The Sony product is also called Smartstick.
I know someone who has used these on wholesale Business use.

It's more like an Android phone/tablet without a screen than a set top box/smart stick type item.

That's the kind I reccomended. The CPU is a Rocketchip implementation of Cortex. It "seems" ok spec wise. Any Idea what version of Android you are getting ? Rooted ?
Also please call Customer service and check their knowledge level so if tomorrow you have problem they should be able handle competently.

Oh That ? Yes fulfilled shall your wish be. Young Padawan.

I'll ask here instead of starting my own thread, I have a similar question. I had TW 4.1.2 and a S3 specific hdmi connector cable that worked just fine for plugging my phone into my tv. I've since switched to a CM11 based rom and the cable no longer works. I want to play movies from my phone on my tv, What's the best way to do this?

External Gamepad

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any aftermarket gamepads/keyboards that can attach to the Galaxy via bluetooth/micro usb.
This is due to my friend showing off his Xperia Play, which obviously isn't quite the phone that the SGS2 is. But bragging rights are always nice.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I've had a look at Zeemote JS1, MSI Chainpus BGP100, Phonejoy and iControlPad. None are what I'm after, I was picturing something that transforms the phone into something similar to the Xperia Play, but it doesn't seem to exist
Phonejoy. There's a thread about it here and it can be bought here.
Thanks
I was thinking more along the lines of something smaller, that attaches to the device? I understand that there probably isn't anything out there. But it could be something to look forward to as the phone becomes more popular
Towards the end of the thread the icontrolpad is mentioned. I don't think there's much else that works yet though.
I'd like a phonejoy personally, but that's to hook up to my 50" plasma and MHL adaptor, not really a great portable system!

That would be quite nice! It could also work well with my ASUS TF101. I guess we'll have to give it time, or give up
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it
I've always thought about getting a Gamepad then the HDMI cable. Basically playing Emulators on the big screen. That basically be making your phone a game system.
I'm running CyanogenMod, because I love it. But they haven't sorted the HDMI drivers, so I haven't got a cable yet. What would the display look like on a 32" LCD or 50" LCD? That's quite a resolution stretch!

Check out Phonejoy's website - they've now got MHL cables (adaptor with a 1.5m hdmi cable).

Will do, I was thinking about getting an extended battery. (Samsung just released a 2000 MaH)

From memory it has been discussed before and the answer was no. At the moment the search function is down so I can't even find the thread for you...
Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please note, search is down nightly from 12:30AM Eastern / 4:30AM UTC for approximately 20-30 minutes.
Edit:
It apparently works with CyanogenMOD and MIUI. It won't run on anything based on the stock firmware.

Right now, the CyanogenMod and MUIU roms don't have fully functional bluetooth drivers, due to the sheer complexity in writing them. Team Hacksung is working on this though, as far as I'm aware the only part of bluetooth that is working is file transfer.

Are you sure (I guess you are though!)? After reading through some of the threads yesterday it seemed as if people already had them working. I guess I misread/misunderstood.
I need to get some cash together to get a phonejoy, have been wanting one for a while now (just hard to justify!!).
I'm not 100% sure. That was my interpretation. I've decided to get an MHL adapter, and a Phonejoy. They'll fix the drivers eventually if they're not working already
Wiimotes etc do work with MIUI and CM already, lots of user reports confirming this.
MHL doesn't work though, and considering TV Out in the original SGS was a problem for CM developers (still not working as far as I'm aware), it may be some time before they sort out that aspect for us with our SGSIIs.
Well I just bought both, I might go back to a Samsung rom. CyanogenMod has been less than impressive with updates lately
EDIT: Is this as impressive as it sounds?

Sweet, a visit from the much quoted man himself. Now you can answer questions without me having to locate your old threads.
Having no MHL is a major for me. Why bother with a wiimote if you're playing on a 4.3" screen... Just my opinion of course. I'd much rather the Phonejoy/MHL combo.
His reviews sold me
It was a pleasure, gentlemen.

Yep, it's the one that is specific to the S3 (11 pin set-up, rather than 5 like the older ones - I have two of those so I'm annoyed about the change too).

Just tried an unpowered 4 port USB hub with a 32gb flash drive connected and the phone crashed and rebooted.
Excellent video mate, is the S3 your main phone these days? I'm sure I remember you doing a similar review on the Galaxy Note, that's what I have although I did get an S3 for the missus and it is tempting, but I'm holding out for the Note 2.
By the way, can you point me in the direction of a relatively cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse that will work with my Note, but a set that doesn't come with a usb dongle since I want to use the micro usb port on the phone to connect it via MHL to my TV. If that makes sense.

Wow, now that is impressive. I can't believe how much you can do with the S3, simply amazing. The S3 kicks all other "smart" phones back to the dark ages . Another vote for a numptys guide please, first time smart/droid phone user here. Or I will be if my phone ever turns up

Awesome. $10 sure beats $40 for the official adapter. Just need some compatibility confirmation reviews before pulling the trigger.
Is there anyone out there with a USB DAC who can verify the S3 can actually output digital audio via USB?
This is a long time wish for audiophiles, who will all be getting an S3 if this functionality works.

Video output options

As most people have probably already heard, the "MHL" port on the SGS3 isn't compatible with existing MHL accessories or displays (so it isn't really an MHL port then is it). See this site for more on that.
Sammie has released some over-priced accessories for it, but buying those would reward and re-inforce this move (the only nasty thing the've done on an otherwise brilliant phone) and they would probably become landfill when you get your next phone. Besides, Sammie recently indicated that this port can do more, so I guess that means they will release a second round of video accessories for this phone, making the first round landfill even before you move on to your next phone.
So, if someone really needs video output for their SGS3, what are their options?
Samsung makes a wireless (Wi-Fi) streaming video dongle for the GSIII, but this too appears to be proprietary and possibly just for the GS3. It looks like there are standards coming for wireless streaming, but they aren't here yet (e.g. Miracast).
Are there other wireless video streaming devices that work with the SGS3?
Even better, though, has any other company created accessories that are compatible with the fake MHL port on the SGS3? The best would be something that worked with the SGS3 and with standards compliant MHL devices and displays (of which there are now > 100), but I don't know if that is possible.
Actually, for some users, something a bit different might work...
DLNA for example, which allows you to play content from your phone on any smart TV. It's not the same as 'video out' for your phone, but I think some poeple are just looking for a way to get media from their phone to their display. And DLNA is very widely supported standard now.
Also, these are low cost Android 4 devices in the form of an HDMI dongle - you plug them directly into your TV:
Infinitec Pocket TV
The Kogan Smart TV HDMI dongle
:meh: For $10 you can get the adapter from Samsung to use the old MHL adapters. The new adapter allows USB OTG, if I understand correctly, that is added functionality over what the old MHL offered. I don't think they changed just to make users buy new MHL adapters.

First problem is that would mean you need an adapter for an adapter, which is a cumbersome solution.
More importantly, I believe that what you are saying is not true: I have reviewed the info from Samsung so far and it appears to me that the new adapter adapter does not support any of the additional capabilities (USB org) that Samsung has recently suggested that the 11pin port is capable of.
That means that there will be new accessories soon to enable that capability, so you will have 3 accessories for that one port, just to do one thing.

Apparently that is an implementation of the Wi-Fi alliances Miracast standard, which sounds great, but for now (i.e. until Android ships with it) it requires root access.
I have bought a few products and have been successful at hooking my note 2 up to a tv with excellent results. I want to also hook up usb hub. I have had SO much bad luck even trying to find out a solution. It seems something is wrong here... oh I see now since I read all of galaxymhl.com. If there was any chance of me paying for the Samsung dock its NOT going to happen now. Dont ever mess with a standard!

About Effing time Samsung gets this released. And I'm guessing it's gonna be another 3 months before they release the wireless charger, Dock/Cable to simultaneously use MHL and other OTG and the UK release of the MHL adapter tip, I mean massive Firmware delays is typical and expected from Samsung but just don't get why they delaying accessories.
I've been reading that it doesn't generate 1080p even though it says it does...it only outputs in 720p...I heard its very laggy at times...and people were quite disappointed with it...sorry to rain on your parade...

Its works in Full HD contrary to reports on here. It does have a noticable delay of about 1 second so not sure if it will be useful for gaming, but for internet browing, movie watching or productivity use it could be ideal.

Sent from my GT-I9300
To clarify for others. The dongle does need a power supply. It comes with one. It also includes an HDMI cable. You can have mutliple dongles on TVs around the house and the phone lets you choose which one you connect to. However, at this time, you cannot label the dongles with a nice name like "Living Room" and have to use the pre-determined name with numbers instead.
There is some lag depending on the quality of the connection with the phone. You would not want to play FPS with this. I would say the lag was around 100-150ms. Fast panning/moving can result in some visible compression artifacts. Its behaviour seems identical to the HTC Media Link technology. One does not appear better than the other here.
The dongle DOES support 1080p, but the S3 does NOT. This means you will not see anything above 720p. The dongle acts as a mirror of the 720 line phone display EXCEPT when you are playing a video. For video, the phone displays a very dim "Allshare" logo on a black background. You can bring up a video slider to rewind/fast-forward etc but the video itself is only displayed on the TV. Despite having the separate video feed, it is still locked to 720. HTC originally had the idea that you could surf on the phone, check emails while playing a video, but this never actually worked. Samsung haven't even tried to do this...pressing the home button cuts the video feed and returns to mirroring.
My concern is if you play a 90 minute movie like this, will there be screen burn due to the permanent but very dim "Allshare" logo displayed on the screen. There is no way to switch this display off when playing a video. Perhaps because its so dim it doesn't matter, but it seems odd to me.

[Q] Bought a Galaxy S4 Mini - few questions

It won't arrive for a little bit (1saleaday is slow to ship), so I figure I'll ask some questions in the meantime.
Does it support MHL 2.0? I've seen conflicting info, in that some places don't even mention MHL support. And if it's not 2.0, does it require that specific 11-pin Samsung adapter? Selling my HTC One and not sure if I should just include my current 5-pin adapter with it.
Does it work with the Smart Dock like the regular S4 and whatnot? Assuming it works with MHL 2.0, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Smart Dock.
What kind of sound hardware does it have? I don't suppose its Wolfson...
Does it support exFAT for microSD? I've seen confirmation that it supports 64GB cards at least.
And any idea if it'll have a wireless charging back like for the S4? Don't know if it even supports wireless charging.
I've tried mhl 1.0 and 2.0. Both don't work. Also tried USB OTG also doesn't work.
I have a 64gb micro sd but I can't remember how it's formatted. But definitely works.

Well crap, I was banking on at least regular MHL - are you sure its not the cable you're using (as in, it requires the Samsung specific 11-pin cable)? If not, then I guess GSMarena is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).
I've tried both a cheap one from ebay and the samsung geniune one which works with my normal Galaxy S4 without using the power cable......both cable works on my normal GS4 but it doesn't work on my MIni GS4....i've also tried with or without the power cable attached and still doesn't work.

Well that really sucks. Oh well, guess I'll stick to using my Tab Plus for that for the time being.

only the samsung hdmi adapter works with the GS4 mini due to a specific protocol since it is not HML enabled. I know... it sucks, but it has other ways to connect to a TV

samsung smart TVs have this almost-like "wifi-direct" connection and you can mirror through wifi the phone's display. like sony has with their phones&TVs. you need to be connected to the same wifi... that's it

Personally I can go for one.
Screen real estate has always been a plus for me but the remote got me on this.
