Hi,
I have mhl cable
I have HDMI cable.
I have LG LED HDTV
I connected the mhl cable to my s4 and connected HDMI cable to the mhl port. I switched on TV and selected the HDMI as the input but nothing is coming up on my TV screen.
In my knowledge, using mhl cable or adaptor I should be able to share my screen on my TV.
Any idea why it's not working as intended. Also is there is any way to play games on to my TV from my phone?
Your help is much appreciated.:thumbup:

Which MHL cable/adapter are you using? There are a lot of knockoffs and cheap-O brands.

Hi,
Happy Christmas
Am using Samsung mhl adaptor which I bought along with my galaxy s2.... now am trying to use it with my s4... but it's not working....

You need the new mhl 2.0 adapter. The s3 started with the new adapter and the one for the s2 won't work anymore

Try The Samsung Brand
Samsung Makes a MHL to HDMI OTG style converter, I got one from amazon and it works for me, They tend to be a little bit more money compared to other though
Thanks All for your replies. that makes sense.
i will try to buy one, any recommendations apart from the Samsung brand?

I have one ans cannot get it to work . Are u sure HDMI out is supported?

Well there goes twenty bucks! I bought two of them and two HDMI cables.
It does work, did you hook up a charge cable? MHL won't supply power unless your TV supports the standard.

Mine arrived today, works great.
Just received mine. I had to mess with the overscan settings on the tv to get rid of the black bars but it works well.
Probably stupid question but I am still confused. does this phone have HDMI out? I read it does but there is no port.
Yes, Same plug as your power.
Www.monoprice.com has cords for just a few bucks goodluck

[Nice, thanks for the super quick reply. What type of HDMI cord does it need? because I know a regular HDMI cord will not do given the size of the micro USB port.
I guess something like this, id shop around see if you could find a better price from link above otherwise $15 aint that bad of a price

Its called MHL. It is a technology that is phenomenal and is being overlooked for the most part. Even phones that are capable of it don't advertise that they are capable of it. It is a simple adapter that plugs into your USB on your device and gives you a full size HDMI port to connect to your TV.
Does it charge your phone at the same time?

Your phone plugs into mhl, mhl has hdmi to tv. Mhl also needs a power source, so it is plugged into the wall. I think it is able to keep charged.
This creates full mirroring. Meaning you can play angry birds on your phone and have it up on the big screen

Yes the app is called sixaxis and it makes a ps3 control work with phone. You must be rooted. If this helps you please thank me.

could you help me guys since it could be a deal breaker
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes you do. It's annoying. I think there's a mhl cable you can buy that has the new hdmi pins without a need for a adapter.
well I dont have the adaptor at all...
what can I do so I wont remove the case an extension or something I dont know..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
the monoprice 11-to-5 adapter has a longer-than-usual connector to allow it to work with cases.
Might be long enough to make it work with the defender case.
Are you guys using the OEM samsung one or a third party one? I've been looking to get one and the Samsung one seems really overpriced. I ordered the Fosmon one but it was out of stock and the reviews for it aren't thay great so I might up ordering the OEM one.

I'm not talking about chargers, I'm talking about the adaptor that turns the phone's usb port into an hdmi port

I'm pretty sure we as Note 2 owners are locked into using Samsung's proprietary MHL adapter. We can't even use one that worked with the GS2, Galaxy Nexus, or even the Note 1 without an additional adapter. The GS3 and the Note 2 have a special pin layout that requires their newest and most expensive MHL adapter. Amazon has one for 34 bucks and I've been hesitant to jump on it because I don't know how much I'll really use it.
i just bought one samsung mhl to hdmi of ebay and it dint work on my note 2 only on the galaxy s3

I am using an 11 pin wire I bought off of amazon for 15 bucks. Its an all in one soulution. It has a micro usb head for the phone, full size usb to plug into your tv or power block and an hdmi. Works well. Ive had no problems.

Bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A9H30LU/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1356068387&sr=8-5&pi=SL75
It should be here tomorrow. Wish i would have seen that red one. Does the same job for half the price. Oh well i guess.
I ended up getting the official Samsung MHL adapter from best buy online because I had some rewards zone credits. paid nothing for it. Unfortunately, it turned out that it was the older generation adapter and doesn't work with my note 2. Ordered the 5pin to 11pin adapter from samsung using the 50% off coupon and paid 5 bucks (plus 4 bucks shipping sadly) This combination works perfectly. a bit clunky with the additional piece but cost me 9 bucks total, can't complain. Works perfectly even using the extra adapter. :good:
ps - smart dock for the note 2 is also avaliable on amazon atm
Any know if this works woth the note 2 sgh-i317m.... or suggest one from amazon.CA that works.

mostly won't work, probably designed for note1, not compatible with note2.
you need one with 11 pins.
just search Samsung HDMI adaptor, if it said for galaxy s3, then it will works!
galaxy s3 also is 11 pins.
So this would work then?

yes, it should works if you buy BOTH of them.
but I would suggest buying Samsung brand,
I have a Samsung brand and it works!
maybe better video quality too.
or you can get the allshare hub, stream it to HDTV wireless!
