MHL to VGA - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone got MHL to VGA working with the M8? I had a MHL to VGA and it doesn't work at all... Not entirely sure why, though the cable was described by the vendor's website as Galaxy S2 Adaptor, though MHL is a standard across Android. Any ideas?

[Q] MHL-HDMI Adapter to VGA

Hi,
does anyone know an adapter to change the HDMI signal from my MHL-adapter to VGA?
I need it because of the data projectors at my university.
I have already tried with 2 adapters: HDMI-> DVI and DVI-> VGA
but it didn't work.
Thx for your help
Just wait for something like that : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-vga-tv-out-adapter-black-p29960.htm
Or buy this type of cable, that could be better than buying a new adapter :http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/soonitrade/VGA_HD-15_Male_Cable_(1).jpg

HDMI has no analogue component so it can't be passively converted to analogue (VGA.) Similarly, VGA-HDMI cables are designed for devices that can output HDMI-over-VGA, and won't work either. You need an active adapter for that.

I haven't tried this yet. Anyone know if this HP device works?

[Q] HDMI to RCA?

Hi, as you know SGS2 doesn't support video via 3.5mm jack like SGS does, and I was wondering if there's any way of converting HDMI to RCA?
I found this cable:
www .amazon .com/HDMI-RCA-VGA-Cable-1-8ft/dp/B002ZUI68G/ref=pd_cp_e_3
(remove spaces from the link)
but I doubt it would work as you need digital to analog conversion and the cable doesn't seem to have any "black box" that could do it.
Can anyone reccommend any (cheap) ways of connecting SGS2 to TV via RCA using phones USB port?
BTW if Samsung did it same way like they did with SGS it would make peoples lifes so much easier!!!

This is something I have tried and did not work. I bought an MHL adaptor for Samsung S2 and also HDMI to RCA cable with black box. The video and audio did not work with HDMI to RCA cable. Need help here.

From my understanding you need the micro usb mhl to scart then a scart cable going into a hdmi to composite downgrader and then you can hook up the rca cable - I haven't done this as would work out quite expensive but quite sure it would work as your problem is the hdmi to rca cable they never work as don't downgrade signal.
If anyone finds a cheaper way please let me know.
Also wondering if there is anyway to use allshare with apple tv box as I have one of these - if anyone cam help that would be great.
Apologies for highjacking thread a little bit but as a new user I'm unable to post my own thread yet!
Thanks in advance.

Anyone get any kind of combination of MHL to DVI to work?

Im starting to think MHL to DVI just doesn't work. Cant find anyone saying "works great and I have DVI setup."
If you have MHL setup working with DVI please list the parts you are using. My monitor does not have hdmi
Also interested in this.
pretty annoyed at my findings. It does not work properly on my dell at work, but works 100% on my samsung at home. So annoyed because I bought this for use at work.
Menotek brand
If the monitor supports HDCP then it will most likely work in my experience. I have several monitors and only the ones that support HDCP seem to work.
The mighty Google found this for me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI-D#DVI_and_HDMI_compatibility
Have you disabled HDCP checking in developer options? I'll see if I can can scrounge a DVI adapter and look for a monitor w/o HDMI this week.
ice cream sandwich does not appear to have hdcp checking in developer options. After doing some research I found a screen shot with hdcp checking as an option as seen here: https://plus.google.com/113348736951055038973/posts/jmzdNRkNZnR
However, on the verizon google nexus phone, this option is missing.
Also my monitor is a dell p2011h and connects by DVI-D (HDCP) if that means anything to someone
HDMI to Displayport?
Before I go through another round of adapter and cable returns thought I'd ask: has anyone tried the MHL to HDMI adapter with a HDMI to Displayport cable?
Sorry for bumping this, but I couldn't find any solution.
I'm trying to connect my device to my AOC screen with an original Samsung MHL adapter and HDMI to DVI adapter and DVI cable and it doesn't work.
The HDMI to DVI adapter + DVI cable work with my laptop, and the MHL cable works with a TV with HDMI cable. But phone to pc doesn't work.
Is there any solution other than replacing the screen?

How to get MHL video out working

I have both a genuine Samsung MHL adapter and the S2 mhl adapter with the 5pin to 11pin converter and I've seen both of these work on other phones.
However, I can't get my video out working on my S3. Both of them connect and bring up active charge and indicate onscreen that "HDMI cable connected". So I know the adapter and cable is being detected but no signal on HDTV. The HDMI cable is good as is TV and monitor I tested on and of course proper input is selected.
Now as far as I remember as soon as it is plugged in the video should automatically show up on HDTV screen...correct? No TV out setting has to be turned on as in past Galaxy correct?
Fyi..I have multiple S3's but currently only have one on hand...its a 747m with KyanROM on it... so not stock..it is rooted and has KT747 9-18 kernel as well.
I have a feeling its the rom(and I could easily test this if I had other phones but don't for a while).
So if both MHL adapters are confirmed working and both the HDMI cable and TV are working AND even the phone states that HDMI cable connected, then what is the issue with no video display?
Thanks for help with this

Which MHL adapter

I'm wondering which MHL adapter to get
http://www.amazon.com/Skiva-Adapter...d=1359051907&sr=8-3&keywords=mhl+lg+optimus+g
http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt..._1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359051896&sr=8-1&keywords=MHL
Also, has anyone tested Miracast on this device yet?
Get the cheapest one, there probably isn't any difference between the 2.
Mhl is a Samsung thing ain't it? I would think you would use a slimport like the nexus 4.....
This is the one I bought: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/180895011500...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4583wt_1341 (Just search HDMI MHL adapter on eBay). Got it for $4.50 and it works well.

MHL is a standard protocol. Some HDTV and Receivers from Onkyo and Denon are suppporting it it their latest gen products.
Some adaptators support 720p and some can do 1080p.
just a reminder mhl is not supported on any custom rom
Not even on CM10.1?
Has there been any progress made regarding MHL support for custom roms(CM,pacman etc) ?
