Hi everyone, quick word to all that these are working with the SGSII. No need to wait until Samsung release them in 1-2 months, and at 6x the price!
Clove Blog will have my video proof up in a couple of hours.
Only enough power to supply pendrives, but drives with their own power supplies, or drives connected to the phone via an externally powered HUB, will work.
Read speeds are fast enough to watch 1080p content.
Unfortunately USB keyboard/mouse, and two different USB gamepads were a fail.
If only I knew a place I could post this where there might be devs around who could read it and make USB gamepad support happen...

Thanks mate, just bought it...
No worries!
Did you see the official ones are priced to sell at like 12pounds!
can it work with a memory card reader?
If the card reader doesn't draw too much power. I tried with one and it didn't work, but if I plug it into my externally powered USB hub then it works fine.
Updated first post with the requisite video proof.
Do you have a link for that dell keyboard & mouse you used in the video?.. it looks great
The Dell Mouse is freely available, I got mine for a song on Ebay.
The keyboard is awesome, but sadly no longer made. Its a Dell-branded 'iGo Stowaway Ultraslim" keyboard, has a truly great hinge mechanism and folds down to next to nothing. You may be able to find it somewhere, but last time I checked I couldn't find any. There are lots of cheap HID profile BT keyboards out there, check my thread in the Galaxy S forums - lots of people confirmed various ones working.
Amazing! excellent video and info
it was nice to also demo the BT keyboard & mouse
thanks
OP, thank you!
Are you rooted? Anything special needed to do the bluetooth? Anything special other than the adapter cable needed for the USB memory stick?
@OP = great post and very informative video

Yep, its Rooted, but that was only for app restoration. There are no mods or hacks applied, everything you're seeing is stock functionality.
would this work on a galaxy s 1? if anyone knows

or desire ;p
I don't think either the Desire or the Galaxy S will do USB OTG (although the Desire may have it baked into a custom ROM, because I know it was enabled in the Nexus 1 with a mod, I don't know enough about Desire custom ROMs to know).
The original Galaxy S does support bluetooth keyboard and mouse though (I have a demo of that in my youtube channel also).
Quick ?
Can you use the BT keyboard without the virtual one popping up?
Hope they release the USB on the go cable ASAP!!!. Thank you very much for the video, it made me get more ansious to get one of this cables and be able to connect my external hard drive full of MKV files.

Great news....
Has anyone bought this from ebay india.
http://cgi.ebay.in/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S...Accessories&hash=item3f0cb168ed#ht_1964wt_962
If yes pls give some feedback.
Whether it can be connected to a portable 1TB external Hard Disk without any external power supply?
Thanks In Advance
I bought USB OTG from ebay india yesterday. awaiting its delivery. if you can wait, I will let you know. Although, it was not this particular one. I ordered the Nokia ca-157 one which are going for ~200 bucks. But they should work, I hope.
Will let you know.
About external HDD, I think for large devices, you need a power supply. Phone can only power small devices AFAIK. Again, can test ad let you know once I get mine.
Thank you. I appreciate it if you let me know once you get yours.
Can you post the link of the one you bought?
The person who is selling the item which i have mentioned is from Delhi only. He is selling that for only Rs.399.
I called him up to clarify some doubts.He said he tried with 4Gb pendrive and 500GB HardDisk(with power supply not the portable one).
i bought this one yesterday: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...00862&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_5158wt_1080
its alot cheaper. ill return when i get it (probably ~2 weeks)
I think this one is much better

I was thinking the same thing...
I haven't really had time to check, but any dvb-t stick that's been around for some time where the Linux kernel supports it "natively" should do, right?

That depends. I have a few and they do vary in how much power they suck out of the usb port. I have a Hauppauge Hybrid 900 (950 in the US) that gets very hot and drinks power like an alchie. I also have an Asus mini 3000 I got for my eeePC 700 that sips very genteelly. Both have native Linux support but since I bought the above dongle, I won't be trying those.
The other problem is that you would need some android TV software that could interact with those sticks. The programs on Google Play seem to be very hardware specific.
I just wondering if the MHL adapters of Samsung can be applied to HTC one M8. Dose HTC M8 Support MHL functionality like Samsung Smart Phone? Anyone know about that? Any answer will be appreciated.

The M8 does support MHL, but Samsung uses their own proprietary nonstandard 11-pin version of MHL that is not compatible with standard 5-pin MHL devices from other manufacturers such as HTC and LG. There are, however, many MHL adapters that work on the M7 and would presumably work on the M8. This is the one I use: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&format=2
I ´m with an unlocked M8 which is with the 2.23.118.3 firmware version, which is from T-Mobile Poland. I tried 2 generic MHL adapters and with the HTC Official AC M490 MHL Adapter but it just dosent work. When I connect everything up (no matter the line-up) the phone says it´s in MHL mode and that I can now see a video on the TV but the TV dosent receive any signal. I tried with different HDMI cables and on 2 different TV´s and 1 Projector but still nothing.
Can it be from the firmware version or something? On my old galaxy S3 and S4 it worked flawlessly, including simple mirroring. Can someone using this firmware please confirm that MHL is working?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Can you please explain me, step by step, what happens when you connect your rocketfish adapter?
Thank you

Unfortunately, no. Tried different cables and different Tvs / projectors to no avail.
I don't understand.
I have a T-Mobile HTC one m8 and just bought a cheap Westinghouse TV. I'm trying to hook my phone up so I can watch videos and live tv on my tv from my phone. I just bought a MHL cable from radio shack for like 40$ and when I hook it up nothing happens. It doesn't even seem to recognize my phone. I switched the tv source to hdmi where it's plugged in and it says no source. I don't have WiFi where I'm at so this is the only way I can connect. I don't understand why it's not working. Is there a certain setting on my phone I should change or did I not buy the right cable? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks

Not all cables work with all devices. The best for the M8 are those made by HTC or LG. The adapter needs to be the standard 5 pin configuration. If you got one made for, let's say Samsung, it would have a non-standard 11 pin setup.
I've never used them myself, so I don't know about any settings for them, but you may have to mount it in setting > storage
The one I got was from Radio shack and it wasn't cheap it cost me 40$. I just looked in storage and I didn't see anything for mounting as far as connections go. But I should be able to do what I asked right? Just mirror the screen on my tv via micro usb to hdmi

It doesn't matter how much it costs if it isn't meant for your phone. What brand and model? Does it have a standard 5 pin configuration? Also, what version of MHL does it use? I believe the M8 is v1.0.
I have a tmobile HTC m8. Damm I didn't know there were different types. I just thought there was a standard. I'm not sure how many pins it has. It doesn't say it anywhere in the instructions. I'm not sure which cable to buy that would work

I googled it, and it's a crappy cable. One star reviews saying it doesn't work. http://www.radioshack.com/radioshac...tion-link-mhl-cable/1500464.html#.VSrCO_nF-ao
I'd take it back and search online for one that is confirmed to work with the M8. You can almost certainly find one that costs less as well.
