I recently bought a mini usb to HDMI adaptor (model number ET-H10FAU) from eBay and it seems to only work on my note 10.1 2014 edition when I'm using a power source (A mini usb cable to a plugged in ac adaptor.) Is this normal or is there something wrong with the adaptor? I was hoping that I could use the adaptor without such a power source.

I have ordered a 5 pin to 11 pin converter so i can use the MHL adpter I have with the new Note 10.1. I have used this MHL adapter with several phones and all required the power to be plugged it for it to work. The best way around this is with a Miracast receiver to mirror the device wirelessly. I bought the Rocketfish one from Best Buy a couple of months ago when it was on sale for $29.99.

I believe the official Samsung mhl adaptor 2.0 is the only one that can do it without a power source but using hdmi output drains battery so much that it's still better to plug it in

Thanks for the info. So far it's not a deal breaker that I have to use a power source for the adapter. Just wanted to make sure it was normal.

According to Rocketfish's website, and the documentation about the device (It's on the link below) you don't need an external power source since the tablet connects to the device by way of a wireless connection. It does say that the device requires an HDTV with a USB port though, something my old cruddy HDTV I still have in my bedroom does not have (I would be using this device mostly upstairs.). Nevertheless I confirmed that if your tv doesn't have a USB port then you can use an AC adaptor to power the device. This Rocketfish device seems to be perfect. Having to use all these cables to connect my tablet to a tv is a real pain...

The Monoprice MHL adapter I have will not work on any device without external power hooked up to it. If you are using screen mirroring/ miracast for wireless display then you do not need power hooked up. The Rocketfish MiraCast receiver I have does require USB power while plugged into a TV's HDMI slot to function. Most TV's have a usb port for attaching a thumb drive or doing firmware updates and this will power the receiver. Hope this helps.

You can use a usb wall adapter for the usb power. Mine came with the small device, a short HDMI ext. cable, and the microusb power cable in the box. I have used several devices with the Miracast receiver. Be aware that most devices will require you to press the WPS button on the receiver the first time you connect it. I have used a Nexus 10, Nexus 7 (2013), Nvidia Shield, and a HTC Droid DNA with it and all work well. The Shield only required me to use the PIN number shown on the TV screen to connect, all the others required me to press the WPS button on the receiver to connect the first time. After connecting the first time all you have to go into settings on the android device to connect. You can move the receiver to a different TV and still reconnect without pressing the WPS button again. The only time you should have to repair the device is if you factory reset or install a different rom on the android device. Sorry for the long response just trying to give as much information as I know to help with your decision.

Not sure if you were asking about the Rocketfish one specifically...
I bought the OEM MHL 2.0 adapter on Amazon and can confirm that you can indeed connect to HDMI without any power source.
confirmation
I don't need the power cord plugged in on mine but I do need the 5 to 11 pin adapter in the micro usb port of the tablet to get it connected to my tv.

I bought one off of ebay
I bought the one below from ebay from seller nj-store and I can connect it with and without the power cord; However, it will it disconnect it by itself every 5-10 minutes regardless of whether or not it has the power connected. Has anyone tried the original Samsung MHL 2.0? If so does it require the power and also does it charge the Note while the power is connected? Cause the one I bought off of ebay does not charge the Note when the power is connected. I seen some original Samsung MHL 2.0 connectors on amazon like for $16.99 but most people think they received the MHL 1.0 because it requires power. Thanks.

I have the original Samsung MHL 2.0. I bought it on Amazon *from* Amazon. I paid more for it, but I wanted to ensure I was getting the genuine product... I've read a few reviews where people were getting the 1.0 (or worse yet, fakes) when buying from 3rd party sellers.
It does not require power to connect my Note II phone or Note 10.1 2014 tablet to a monitor or TV. When I do connect power, it charges both devices.
Thank for letting me know. Do you happen to have the link to the Amazon one? All I find is third parties and fulfilled by amazon. Thanks.
I just went to my Amazon account and clicked on my orders to get you a direct link... Amazon must now be out of stock on them. All I see are 3rd party vendors at the moment.

Can you post the model number of your adapter. I have gotten one suppose to be original and the model number is ET H10FAUWEGWW per the box, but the adapter itself does not have a model number but just a serial number and it says it is made in Korea. It does have this number on it KFC RE SEC ET H10FAUWE which I don't know what it is. The reason for my question is that it works well but it does not charge my note when my power adapter is attached to it. Thanks.

Just wanted to make sure about this adapter being able to charge the Note 2014 edition. I tried it on a galaxy S3 and S4 and it charge both but not the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. It must need more power I guess cause I was using the Note 2014 edition original charger. Have you tried on the note 2014 edition?

Most likely not. I have personally tested all combinations of MHL adapter, OTG cable, USB hubs (powered and non), splitters and adapters.
As of right now all signs point to the Micro USB port being a one job at a time thing.
I would love to be suprised, but I'm not buying this to test it. -Sorry

Awesome! Please let us know if usb host and mhl be used simultaneously. a video review would be great!
I bought one. I ended up with a defective unit (detailed below), but the defect only seems to be mechanical with the button and not with the electronics. The seller is sending me another so I will let you know how that goes.
Anyway, my initial impression is "meh". Here is the "executive summary":
1. USB host cannot be used at the same time as MHL.
2. In fact, USB host cannot be used at all when the power is plugged in.
My experience with the unit:
1. There is a button on the front that lights up based on what "mode" the unit is in. Blue for USB host and green for MHL. There is a red mode, too, but I only saw it once and haven't been able to get back to it yet.
2. Like I said, the plastic part of the button broke the first time I pushed it. Since the seller said he would send me another, I tore the unit apart and discovered that there wasn't enough glue keeping the button in place.
3. I can't really tell exactly what the button is supposed to do. When I first plug it in to my phone without the power plugged in, I have to press the button to get my phone to recognize it. Once the unit is recognized then it goes into USB host mode and the button starts glowing blue. Nothing seems to happen if I press the button again.
4. As soon as I plug in the power (or I plugged in the unit with the power already plugged in) then the unit automatically goes to MHL mode and the button glows green. If I had an sd card plugged in and mounted when I plugged in the power, then the card is forcibly unmounted when the unit goes into MHL mode.
5. I assume #4 goes for any other USB-connected peripherials as I didn't try a micro sd or a memory stick.
I will be posting this to Amazon once I get time....

yes there is
this is the micro usb port
this micro usb port is for bringing power to the guest devices
I have a similar one without MHL and this is what it does
one regret on the one I have is that it doesn't act has a HUB, so you can't plug a sd and a micro sd at the same time and transfer data between them
is it the same with this device ?
I was thinking buying this unit. (Right now it's 37 USD)
But, does this product works with other phones? Like Nexus 4, Galaxy SII and SIII or Galaxy Note I or II?
I want to keep it when I sell my Galaxy Nexus...!
Or is it better to buy two cables, one MHL and other USB OTG? (Both will make around 16 USD)

Hey there, i have tried gathering information about this subject and it seems all threads always lead to this announcement:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/29/galaxy-s-iii-new-mhl-connector-also-enables-usb-on-go/
Short: Samsung have changed to an 11 Pin-out to enable USB OTG and MHL Hdmi out at the same time. I purchased an original HDTV Adapter (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) which as far as i can reliably count indeed has about 11 connectors inside the USB connector that goes into the phone.
Now, i can get HDMI out just fine, but ONLY when i also connect the MHL adapter to a power source (a PC USB Port will do fine), however i have also read, that the phone is able to power the MHL adapter itself but obviously would not be charged then (no surprises there). This does not work however.
Further, connecting a USB OTG cable to the micro usb port on the MHL adapter does nothing. No notification and no devices connecting. No power either, since the LED on my USB Hub does not light up as it should. Connecting any devices to the hub does nothing to change that situation. If i leave out the MHL adapter and connect the USB OTG cable directly to the phone, everything works perfectly. I have tried this with 2 different OTG cables so they are not the problem.
This is an original genuine HDTV Adapter for our phones, which according to that post should be working fine with USB OTG.
AFAIK, this topic --does-- come up more frequently now as i can find a few more discussions about it, albeit none really helpful:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811435
That wiki entry is the most interesting link as it definitely states that using MHL and USB OTG simultaneously is possible and is also the reason why the 5 pin layout was changed to an 11 Pin layout.
Looking forward to reading your replies!

I don't see why you would feel the need to ridicule me for bringing up this thread. it's not wishful thinking, seeing as even the wikipedia entry on MHL clearly states it should be possible. There is also a blog entry on the exact same topic and even the movement to boycott samsung accessories have stopped because of this: http://www.galaxymhl.com/
I don't really understand why people aren't looking into this more.
I'm not ridiculing you. I want the same thing. What I said was my legitimate wish list. I haven't bought the mhl adapter because I'm holding out for an all in one solution. I'm still waiting on Samsung to give us a product that does mhl and otg simultaneously.

I'm sorry, i must have gotten that wrong. I find it very confusing Samsung do no release enough information on this in order to make it work. Neither the phone documentation, nor the official 11-Pin HDTV Adapter manual mention this in any way.
I'm waiting also for a dock with MHL+USB OTG at the same time by Samsung, I dont understand why the official MHL adapter does not support this already but I've been searching and I have not found yet any example of both working together. It clearly seems that the MHL 11 pins cable we can buy right now does not support this since nobody has tested it succesfully but what I don't know is if that is related to Hardware or it also has something to do with software. I read a couple of weeks ago that Google was thinking about using the phone as a PC via docking, I think the idea comes from Motorola? So maybe the availability of both connections at the same time is also related with android, who knows, maybe in JB it will be possible...Has somebody tested MHL+USB OTG in JB with the official adapter?

As soon as i get home, i will try flashing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695562
It comes with the latest stock kernel and appearently won't boot with anything else so Samsung must have made some changes to it. In a few hours time I'll be back with information on how that worked out.
I can confirm it NOT working on Jelly Bean. The MHL adapter does provide video HDMI output, but only as long as it is plugged into an external power source. When connecting an OTG usb cable, there is no reaction at all. There has to be some way of getting the phone to power the HDMI adapter. Do any of you folks have a good link to a kernel dev who can have a look into this? There has to be a MHL modul for the USB driver. Ghokanmoral probably has more insight into this...
Summary: USB OTG and MHL work fine separately, but not simultanously on JB using a standard genuine Samsung EPL-3FHUBEGSTD adaptor.

The final result of this is that USB OTG work with the Samsung dock, but not otherwise...and that is why they changed the pins to 11. For the dock to allow for OTG at the same time as HDMI out. Does everyone agree?

I don't really know how this is accomplished with the dock, but if it works with the dock, I have to think that the same technique could be used to make it work with other adapters, too. If it's a matter of putting a voltage or a resistance across two pins, that would not be a big deal to do.
It was figured out in the thread that this was split off of.
we already found the resistor value to do it, the wiring.. everything.
Anyone try...
Anyone try a usb Y cable which will inject power over a USB and still allow for a separate device to be attached? I would post a link but i'm noob here. You can find it as "UTStarcom USB Adapter Y Cable"
The HDMI part of the split HAS to be powered...but the USB OTG does not. So...if there was such thing as an 11 pin micro usb Y splitter, then the OTG side would work while the powered MHL adapter was on. Essentially this is what the dock does.
Is it possible to create an 11 pin Y splitter? Someone needs to get one of those docks and tear it apart to see how the leads are split...lol

Hi all.
I've searched for similar questions and can't find anything that gives me an answer... so here goes.
Model number: GT-N7100 (Samsung Galaxy Note 2)
Android version: 4.1.1
Modifications: None.
Problem:
- Connect MHL cable to phone.
- Connect power
- Connect HDMI to tv & MHL
- Phone pops up a message on screen advising that HDMI connection has been made.
- No output from phone to tv.
I tried originally with the wrong MHL cable designed for a Galaxy S2 (established this thanks to a post I found on here, thanks). Then replaced with one designed for the S3 which should (according to what i read) also work with the Note2.
Am I missing something here?
The cable used was from Amazon and is not a samsung original part. But before spending more money to get the samsung part i want to be sure i exhausted all options with the cheaper alternative.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

I bought a 'generic' adapter at first, did not work. Ended up going with the Samsung adapter...worked fine...

Hi all.
Thanks for the replies. [will do the whole thanks button thing in a minute].
I threw the adapter in a drawer for the weekend and pulled it back out this morning to have another crack at it.
Its the cheap n nasty adapter that is at fault. I shoved the connector into the bottom of the phone really hard this time, and instead of black, the tv screen went green. All green. A bit of jiggling later and i had phone output on the tv, but its a very sketchy connection and a slight knock loses the connection, even though the phone still thinks the cable is connected still.
Only problem then is that there is no audio coming through the tv. All phone settings suggest there should be.
So i went upstairs to try on another tv, and it works perfectly with video and audio (once the cable is rammed home good and hard).
Problem solved. For now, it will do. But I will at some point be investing in the genuine samsung part that should do the job properly. And a new TV for the living room ~ current one is old and was a budget model at the time, so you can imagine how bad it is by todays standards.
Hi, can you help to check if the camera apps work when you use mhl ?
Im using the sprint gn2 do I go with the same step when connecting mhl adapter? Before you connect to television is the phone suppose to be charging? I think I have to buy the right one .I bought mine amazon from china and still have not hooked it up to my tv yet. Can there be a problem with phone? Its new never dropped

i just got my samsung MHL adapter which is for the S3 but supposedly should work with note 2 also.
when i connect the hdmi cable and the power cable and then connect it to my phone i see a popup "hdmi cable cvonnected"
however,
my monitor (Dell 2408WFP) just goes into sleep mode.
i also tried another monitor.. same thing.
i'm on android revolution with perseus kernel... which is just a modded stockrom.
i have not made a samsung account so i don't have any of the samung specific apps activated... could this be the problem?
do you need to have that sharecast or whatever to be activated first in order to get the TV out functionality?
I bought Samsung MHL adapter last month for HTC One X and it works fine even without connect the phone to charging.
I just tried that to my new Note 2 and it doesn't work at all.. already try to charge the phone still not showing anything not even a notification saying my note2 connected to the hdmi...

Is it true with the note by sprint ...it has to be sprint o/s to work and can't have a rom on phone

Having the exact same issje with the original s3 adapter. It worked fine 2 days ago and then one day from another it magically stopped working on my note 2. Still works with other devices..
ok.. i decided to actually create a samsung account and installing the all-share cast app hoping this would finally make the mhl work..
but alas..
same thing..
i connect power, mhl en and hdmi cable.... set monitor to look for hdmi signal...
phone then gives me the 'hdmi adapter connected' message and then the monitor goes into energy saving mode...
i guess my adapter is faulty.... it is supposedly a genuine brand new samsung adapter but i got it from ebay hongkong or china or whatever... so... well... you know..
i think i will order the wireless all-share hub in stead...
Are you rooted? I've read that hml doesn't work if you are.
Edit: I should have read the rest of the thread. Looks like you solved the problem.

well yeah... if getting a wireless allshare cast hub instead for 80 bucks is a solution.. then yes.. i guess it's solved..
by the way,
yes.. i have root.. where did you read that a rooted phone prevents the MHL adapter from properly working?
do you have a link or something?
in that case i could still try to persuade the Android Revolution HD Rom developer to look into the issue...

Try it using the 5V - 2A charger, i have read, somewhere i forgot, that 2A is a must for being able to use MHL.
I can't say if it is true or not, i'm atill waiting all stuff be delivered (All-share cast hub, MHL adapter, Smart Dock, etc).
Good luck
It seems like the china products r all faulty

For me the MHL cable worked well with easy disconnections (any minimal movement). But I used it with the bloutooh mouse and so I didn't feel so much the issue.
Now the note 2 doesn't reveal the cable. I plug it in and nothing happens.
I don't remember if I changed ROM before the issue but it's sure I always had a custom ROM.
Can be a ROM problem?
I will try the MHL cable with my father's s3 and let you know if is a cable issue.
EDIT:
SORRY GUYS, IS A CAVE PROBLEM. ITS DEAD
I have rooted my device also. Come to think of it, this might just be the issue. Rooted with exynosabuse gonna try to unroot and see if it works. Still want it to work with root though because i use the sixaxis to play games..
Once u unrrot your note 2 did it work with the mhl cable

The note 2 and the s3 have different hml adapters. You will also need a converter.
On the monoprice link you posted, youll notice ab asterisk next to the s3. Same applies to the note 2.

I just got a Samsung HDTV Adapter Tip (5 to 11 Pin) Model EPL-FU10BEBSTD, which has micro-USB female to male; it enabled my TMobile "HDMI connection kit" that had worked with Galaxy S2 Hercules to work now with my Galaxy Note II. The connection kit was expensive, but has a 10' cable from the MHL adapter body to the male micro-usb plug, as well as a 5' cable to the TV HDMI, and a wall charger to power the adapter body. So the arrangement is quite flexible once installed.
I was hoping someone could help me with this problem also. I have a hdmi capable monitor that I would like to hook my note2 up to but for whatever reason the monitor will not detect the signal. i have tried rebooting and connecting it various ways but no dice.
the only thing i can think of is that its the rom im using which is myrom's latest version
Do you have 5pin or 11pin mhl cable? Note2 requires 11pin one.

I was told you need an S3 cable. Here's the one I use.

Yea you guys are right you need 11 pin for the note 2. the sgs2 used 5 pin so if you have one for your older phone you need a new one or I think they make a converter too. I would suggest getting right from samsung. it may cost more but you get what you pay for usually and samsung makes the best stuff when it comes to that. Also another thing to consider while you are on samsungs website they have a multimedia dock that is on backorder right now but for a 100 dollars it turns your note2 into a pc basically. It has 3 full size usb ports so you can hook up a mouse keyboard and external hard drive and it has the hdmi port and an auido port so you can hook it up to a hdmi tv/ monitor and multimedia speaker system. I was going to get a new computer but I found this thing. So basically I can have an android desktop. It dont get better than that. Now wit dropbox and mobile odin and this exynos exploit we really dont need to hook up to a pc to root so there is no real reason for it. Just something to think about.
This is really helpful. My question is will this charge your phone while you are connected to the tv? Also, I see some of the description on ebay says it might not work if you are rooted.

I am rooted; The MHL/HDMI system works well, if that is your concern. The charger that I use for the MHL adapter is much lower amperage than the one that came with the Galaxy Note 2, so I would guess that charging might be slow if you are watching a movie that way, or maybe not even keep up, but I don't have the patience to do the test (or watch movies that way).
Hmmmm!!!!
I just got the Samsung dock and can't connect with HDMI on rooted stock.
The phone detects the dock and charges up, but no signal to the screen. Also tried hooking it up with the TV and projector using two different custom rom and separate HDMI cables and no dice.
Guess the dock is defective.
Hi all, new user for galaxy note 10.1 2014 version.. thanks for the threads, very useful info..
As I have trouble finding the Samsung compatible adapter through amazon or ebay in the UK, should I assume that any 11 pin HDMI adapter is compatible? should I look for adapter for Galaxy note 3 or the Galaxy S3?
Thanks a lot!!
Look for the mhl 2.0 adapter from samsung. It's branded "for galaxy s4/s5". Just make sure it's mhl 2.0. I have it and it works very good, outputs 1080p/60fps and it works without connecting power.
looks like this: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA
Thanks for the prompt response Clouds5..
I have trouble finding that specific adapter you posted.. even Samsung has run out ..
However, I find many cables with s/n ET-H10FAUWEGWW... The one you have posted is the ET-H10FAUWEGUJ.. Should I assume that these adapter are the same? I am in the uk, maybe this is s/n for the international market? Essentially anything in the ET-H10FAU family is the same, provided of course that it is branded as MHL 2.0 adapter and suitable for galaxy S4/5 as you point out?
Thanks..

Look at Amazon.uk for Samsung MHL 2.0 and pick a geniune one. Alot of fakes around and read the comments. Reak MHL 2.0 dont need power source and fakes ones needs.
ex might be real: (read comments)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-ET-...d=1397297202&sr=8-63&keywords=Samsung+MHL+2.0
Might be fake: (read comments, delivered from China = mostlty fakes)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Sam...id=1397297537&sr=8-2&keywords=Samsung+MHL+2.0
I did bought a cheap MHL 2.0 from ebay, seller was from China and it did works for a while. It also needed powersource to work, after a while and aspect ratio become weird. So it was a fake one for 6 US only.
Decide to buy new one from mine country and it didnt needed any powersource connected to MHL 2.0 adapter. It was cheap, just 20 bucks deal back then and also described for Galaxy S5, even back then S5 wasnt even announced and lucky it was genuine from Samsung.
Real and fake have different weights too. There is a thread about real vs fakes MHL 2.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412756
The fake from ebay I bought was indeed around 26 gram and real one with 20 bucks deal weights 42 gram.
Thank you dt33.. I have just ordered the adapter you pointed out - I had it already in my Amazon basket assuming that it is a genuine one..
I also read the thread about genuine/fakes.. looks like that unless it comes directly from Samsung, then it is a gamble..
I will test it, weight it and report back with the s/n.. hopefully it will help someone facing the same problem.
Thanks,
Achilleas
I bought this one per recommendation of another XDA user. Works as it should for now.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331104244157?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
All good
To complete the thread and potentially help future buyers from the UK....
I bought the Samsung ET-H10FAUWESTA which turned out to be the ET-H10FAUWEGWW... bottomline: all the genuine variations of the ET-H10FAU cable seems to work for our model.. and no need to be plugged in so all good..
Thanks all for the help.

the HDMI cable works without the wall plug.. just with the tablet's power..
if you use the wall plug then it will charge the tablet while the HDMI is used...Is this what you are asking?

I have trying to find one that will charge the tablet at the same time you have the tablet connected to a monitor though an HDMI cable. Does the tablet (specifically, the Note 10.1 2014) show that it is in the charging mode when you are using this adapter with the wall plug? Thanks!

I have a HDMI adapter for my N7000 which I also use for my SM P-605 and it works just fine but does not charge my tablet while connected to my TV. After the kitkat update, (surprise! surprise!) it just decided to charge my tablet while connected to my TV.So probably it's a kernel thing.

Wait a second here. Are you saying that your tablet charges only through the mhl connector without being connected to the wall plug? If this is the case, it receives power through the hdmi cable?! This is really strange. I didn't know hdmi could offer the needed current for our tablet to charge!!! To be sincere I don't think this actually works. You probably need the wall plug to be connected to the mhl for it to actually charge the tablet.

It's connected to a wall plug of course, but before kitkat even with the " wall plug" connected it doesn't charges and now it does.
