[Q] SM-T210 Tab 3 7" MHL to HDMI(TV-Out) Capabilities

Hi Guys
I got this SM T210 (wifi only) tab and I'm wondering if this really has a TV-out feature via MHL to HDMI.
It really is not clear for me because some sites says it has but other says it doesn't.
I was wondering if anyone here has the same tab as mine and has gotten this feature working for them.
If it work for you can you please also indicate what model of the cable you are using.
Thanks

The official specs on samsung's site make no mention of HDMI.

Yep, that is why it is really confusing. If you look here at the MHL to HDMI cable here
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ET-H10FAUWEGUJ-compatible
it clearly says that it is compatible with Galaxy tab 3 7" (Gold brown color w same specs as the white).
and also here on this link
http://www.abt.com/product/71046/Samsung-ETH10FAUWEGUJ.html
if you look at the docs of that cable. it states that this is for all 2013 Galaxy tab 3 devices including the 7" version.
Hopefully somebody has gotten this to work because I really need this feature on my tab.

About MHL (TV Out) capabilities:
http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2013/06/03/Samsung-Introduces-New-GALAXY-Tab-3-Series-1
suggest you buy a MHL to HDMI adapter to test it. If it works, that will be great. if not, you can return the MHL to HDMI to the vendor.

Hi, I am sorry to tell you the bad news. I asked Samsung online service about your question that whether the micro USB port of tab 3 7.0 supports MHL function via live chat of Samsung.com. They told me that only tab 3 8.0 and tab 3 10.1 features a micro USB port with MHL/HDMI functionality like Samsung Galaxy S4，S3 and Note 2.

Aw... Now I don't know what to do with this tab anymore. I really need the MHL tv out capabilities so when I travel I can make this as my Portable TV box.
Anyways. Thanks for all the help. I guess I'll just sell this and buy another tab.

what if you root it or something? would that work?

you can get this to kinda work by putting a kit Kat rom on it. all kit kat roms have miracast. it's not exactly mhl (wireless instead of wired) but it serves the same function

A user of galaxy star here. Im sorry to actullay post here but I wanted to say that if u have a tv launcher and a site lists that u have its tv-out its not true. Galaxy star had something like that in build.prop and in system/app but when I went to my friends house and connected cable of hdmi tv out it didnt work. It maybe due to different cable(my friend had a galaxy note and a note cable) but no way that magic would happen. But try it out.

I'll try to get a cable for galaxy star if it supports

well, it does support USB On The Go. Theres a video on youtube of it, I tried it and it really worked with a thumbdrive. I tried with a generic joystick but I think it needs the module to work.

thats a good news

No MHL Support
I dont think that the Xperia M supports MHL, because Sony Support forums and other sites say that it doesn't support MHL.

MicroUSB connected devices.
I don't have any MHL cables to test the XPERIA M with but have tested the following microUSB connections and found them to all work.
The one exclusion here is the Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station which only provides power. It can NOT provide data and power over one USB connection with default XPERIA M configuration.
This does not bode well for any MHL connection.
• Aten 4-Port USB 2.0 Switch
• Targus Desktop USB 2.0 7-Port Hub
• WDC 320GB USB 2.0 HDD connected via powered USB hub.
• Logitech USB Unifying Mouse M950, M905, M235 and Keyboard K400, K800 tested
• HP v165w 8GB flashdrive - Voltage required ~4.5-5.5VDC. This will not work on a Sony XPERIA S due to power requirements, BUT works OK on an XPERI M.
• SD/MMC card reader and USB 2.0 ports on a Dell U2410 24" IPS monitor
• Tested a few SanDisk and HP 8-32GB USB 2.0 FAT32 flashdrives and all have worked.
• Galaxy Note Connection Kit. Model: DR03-S2 provides microSD, SD and USB flashdrive access. A must have!!! But, only supports one(1) connected peripheral at a time, so can't have Keyboard/Mouse and microSD card all connected at the same time...pity. But this can be done via powered USB 2.0 hub.
There is also the Sony Miracast™ Wireless Display IM10 which probably should be tested when it's more widely available.

guys I just tested it with mhl(c1905 not dual) did not work. Maybe there is something else to do or another app I don know. The weird bit is that on the sony official page, they say that it supports mhl. So they need to make software update or there is only sony mhl device that works with this mode.
Anything more info if you have please share

"The weird bit is that on the sony official page, they say that it supports mhl."
Is it????
Where???
I had tried with MHL cable but no luck

Someone tried the official IM750 MHL cable? In the compatibility tab even the low-end Xperia E and the very similar Xperia L are supported, so, why not Xperia M too? I also read somewhere that Miracast is supported only with Sony BRAVIA TVs, so maybe Sony did something to make Xperias works only with official Sony MHL cable too?

I already saw somewhere in Sony forums Xperia Tablet Z users complaining about that in the past (don't know if this was fixed), in other smart TVs the Miracast connection worked but not together with WiFi connection (you need to choose only Miracast or only WiFi, not the two at the same time). Miracast + WiFi internet at the same time worked only in Sony BRAVIA TVs unless they installed CyanogenMod in their tablets, which enabled the feature in all brands of Smart TVs. I know that's not the case for Xperia M (as I already tested Miracast with a non-Sony Smart TV too) but since Sony did it in the past, there's a possibility, even if minimal, that Sony did something to MHL connection in Xperia M too (if it even support it)...

Have Miracast working fine(ish) on a C1905 15.4.A.0.23 using a Netgear PTV3000 attached to an old 40" Sony LCD TV.
Displaying a 720p video to a 40" Sony TV lags a bit.
Miracast works OK with Youtube(Internet) to a 40" TV using both WiFi connection for TV(Miracast) and Internet.
Tried a 'standard' MHL cable and nothing happen.
Never seen MHL listed as supported on an Xperia C1905.
Indonesia does not support 5GHz (Android 4.1.2 at least) so Miracast AND internet may not be possible.
Maybe need a 5GHz and 2.4GHz WiFi connection for Mircacast and Internet to work at same time (just thinking out loud).

the thing that makes me puzzled is that all says it doesn't support that while there's already available product made specifically for tab 3 7"
any help? need help fast i have to buy a new tablet tomorrow
if there's no way, what you advice me to buy? the maximum budget is 250$

Tab 8 works. Don't think the 7 supports.

Tab7 is the only tab 3 that doesn't support HDMI out. (googled it before I bought my tab 3 10.1)

T110 can use MHL to HDMI ?
But how come there are MHL to HDMI cable set available on ebay claiming that it worked?

Have you tried slim port adapter? My g4 wont be here for about a week to test.
Add: After googling what the Lg G3 had, which was a slimport I checked LG's website. It says it uses "HDMI SlimPort(4K)".

I tried my slimport (not MHL) adapter and it worked the same way as for the G2. Screen mirroring on the TV. When playing videos using the built in video app they only play on the TV.

Recommend this from Amazon.com and also found a tutorial video at YouTube.com here.

Frigidazzi you said your phone would be there in about a week, that was 4 months ago? This can't be that hard I am still screen mirroring from my s3 as my s5 was stolen but my g4 does not work with this adapter or any of the other 4 that I have tried. This can't be this difficult if I don't accomplish something this week I will use my 14 day option and return this phone. Anyone have any answers?

I have a taiwan 815 and i bought a combo slimport adapter which has a card reader and USB OTG it works fine

You might need a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter. Your mhl cable might be a 1.0 which is older tech

Lg4 does support mhl. It requires a slimport MHL. I just bought an Accell slimport Mhl. Works perfect. It took a few trys before I found this. Also, Lg4 supports 4K.

Is MHL micro usb to hdmi compatible with the LG G4 and LG G tab?

MHL?

Hi,
anyone having some experience with the TabS2 en MHL HDMI?
Thanks

No but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has?
Thanks

Yes.
bought a small cable (6€) ....
tried one time ... works fine...
take care : in my case HDMI must be powered using a usb cable.
nothing to modify in settings..

I use MHL all the time. It does not fill the screen entirely as my phone MHL image does, but maybe that's the aspect ratio of the tab. My TV allows changing of the aspect ratio to adjust fit properly. Unfortunately my 3D projector does not allow tuning from an HDMI source. I have both 2.0 and 3.0 Samsung MHL adapters and they work fine with this tab.

No MHL with new Galaxy Tab S2?
I have just got Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" LTE T819 which is sligtly refreshed version of T815 with Android 6.
MHL does not work. There is no HTML option in the menu.
Samsung pages are inconsistent. Some claim that MHL is suporrted, some other - it is not.
Is it the question of hardware "improvement" from T815 to T819?
Or is it due to "upgrade" of Android 5 to 6?
Grzegorz

Same here.
Got the 819 model and mhl is not working. Same cable works with older Samsung tab (tab 3 8.0 inches), which should have same mhl version.
Either was removed with marshmallow update or it is removed due to hw revision.
Samsung website says it is supported, but clearly ain't true for my model.

I've got official Tab S2 dock and the original Samsung MHL 3.0 dongle - all work through HDMI (on the original 2015 version). However, you have to put up with the 4:3 screen ratios even on the 16:9 monitors..

Exactly how?

Sorry for not answering you (I only rarely visit XDA) - I havent added any apps to make it work. Its very much plug and play. Which version do you have? The 2015 Exynos or the 2016 Snapdragon? I've got the 2015 version.
I have also found it particular with certain screens and monitors too. Some do not report back to the device properly for resolution choice, whilst others will bawk at the tablet being on a non-standard 16:9 resolution. But it does work with my TV at home and my 4K monitor at work. I'd suggest you also try it with other monitors and TV's directly via HDMI.

There's a root app called SecondScreen which works well for aspect issues.

you need samsung adapter if you use generic mhl.
samsung pin is different than generic mhl.

FYI:
Samsung online support chat ref#: 8214559545
My Question:
“Does the Samsung Multimedia Dock for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0/9.7 support HDMI screen mirroring using the tablet 819 model ? Some members of the XDAdevelopers forum cast doubt on whether it works.”
Your Samsung Multimedia Dock webpage say’s it supports Galaxy Tab S2's but does not explicitly confirm model variations, and it also say's "4K resolution is only supported by MHL 3.0 support devices (MHL 2.0 or 1.0 devices support FHD)"
Sumsung Support Answer:
“Upon checking on the technical specification of the device, MHL is not supported by your T819 tablet.”
and
“You can only use screen mirroring using Wi-Fi. I apologize but it will not work. Both devices needs to have MHL capability, however, your Tab S2 T819 doesn't have this feature.”
.... Para Dox

Sumsung Support Answer:
"Upon checking on the technical specification of the device, MHL is not supported by your T819 tablet."
Surely this would only require a simple software update to re-enable MHL on the latest version S2 tabs ?

Contact Samsung Support and try to extract more detail from them. Ask them what is the root cause, and is there any possibility of a future fix or work-around.
I didn't say this in my above post, however I was on Samsung Chat Support for about half an hour just flushing out the above couple of lines I posted.
1st level support are junior staff, and their job is to shield senior staff from the customer.
I was initially given superficial answers and had to keep probing with cross-checking questions, challenging their logic, and requesting they escalate to senior technicians to finally flush out the above answer in my post.
I also requested that they document this technical information in their manual and on their website, but I am not holding my breath.
