[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.

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

AFAIK it doesn't..
old school way I guess, using A/V cable!
EDIT: the phone doesn't support TV out, so bummer! If u have a smart TV then u can look for alternative ways to connect ur phone.

It has MHL. But 5 pin MHL cables for Sony devices won't work. Planning to order this weekend.

who confirmed it supports MHL or not? tks

Although there is an mhl cable on ebay, according to some mobile tech sites it seems that phone doesn't support mhl! Also there is no explanation on Samsung's siteI Therefore I am not sure! Could someone clear whether it supports mhl or not?

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?

I have all of this and have been trying since I got my tablet, nothing shows up on the screen. Do you have to do something to the tablet or something to make it show up?

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.

i have 2015 samsung galaxy tab s2 9.7 inch and mhl cable, micro, charger, hdmi output to hdtv, but i get a no signal on my hd tv, any clues as to why i thismodel compatible yes or not. if yes can you tell me the adapter to use. I use a mhl 5 pin adapter i picked up for $8 on ebay., but i dont know if that is the correct mhl adapter.

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.

Does anyone know of the otterbox defender case or any case will fit the mhl adapter with the case on..?

Does the oneplus 3 support MHL or SlimPort?

Did anybody already try if the OnePlus 3 support anything like MHL or SlimPort adapter. If yes which adapter did you use.
Thanks

The question also interests me.

Same here

the answer is on the internet. Easy to find. No. Use Chromecast.

I not found the answer on the net, so I ask here if someone already tried. I do not Chromecast.

Nobody tested it all is only speculation. Unless someone tried so this information is not confirmed. The only difference USB C 3.1 and USB C 2.0 is the data stream.

i've tried a mhl cable with a micro usb to type c adaptor, and type c to hdmi adaptor, nothing work so far.
PS: it's running cm 13 rom, don't know if that matters.

According to oneplus live chat support, the oneplus 3 does not support slim port. Apparently it is compatible with MHL though.

I haven't seen anyone even try a MHL cable yet though. I'm thinking of buying This as it has power as well, if its USB 2.0 and not 3.0 gen 2 then wouldn't a 3.0 gen 2 cable be backwards compatible? I asked 1+ about this cable and they said that they see no reason why it wouldn't work.

I buyed this, and it don't works.
Only USB ports works.

Can you use it to mirror screen ? or any other Option ?

Oneplus doesnt support slimport or mhl, both of them require hardware support. Unfortunately none of them included in hardware.

This one maybe work
http://paradisdiscount.com/oneplus-3t/63024-adaptateur-mhl-micro-usb-hdmi-oneplus-3t.html

What about this one?
I found this one http://paradisdiscount.com/oneplus-3/46001-cable-chargeur-adaptateur
Seems to be a French page...I hesitate to try,since it should according to the description but one plus is not supposed to have mhl output...

So, did someone manage to connect the OnePlus 3 to a TV with an MHL cable (USB-C -> HDMI) ?
(YESSSSS I know Chromecast, I use it everyday, the question is about MHL cable...)

I'm experiencing the same issue on G7 Thinq and suspected the USB-C to HDMI cable. Is this really just not supported on the G7? They're trying to force us to use a streaming device by excluding this very basic and reliable functionality?

LG has disabled this feature by software.
As you can see in the attached screen, the smartphone detect a displayport adapter, but the tv out is disabled via software.
I have been researching into the kernel source, and I have discovered how they have disabled this feature, I have uploaded the hdmi_Kconfig file from LG v30, and Samsung Galaxy S9, both of them support HDMI out, and LG G7.
There you can see waht I have explained.
If it would have some developeres interested in this device, they could take back this feture to LG G7.

usb c to hdmi cable
When it comes to technology, I think I'm pretty up to date but I was a little behind the curve when it came to HDMI cords and cell phones. I absolutely love my Samsung S8+ and being able to watch videos that I have recorded, pictures I've taken on my television has opened me to a whole new world...... use easyacc usb c to hdmi cable watched movies from my Netflix app from my phone on the television screen. I'm stoked if you can't tell!!!

The feature is directly disabled in the kernel. While we have the kernel the source doesn't work.

So does this mean there is a way to enable this feature on the g7. I just updated from an iPhone and have no wifi where I play videos etc for my students. I had the adapter for the smart phone and bought one to fit the USB c but when I plug it in to the HDMI it only charges does not show the screen

Hello!
I am interested in enabling hdmi also.
Any news?
I'm offering a reward! ?

Hi guys, it must be rooted the phone for make the change in the kernel to activate the feature? Or there is an alternative way to enable it?

There is no way to enable it at the moment.

Snapdragon 845 have HDMI as option- vendor have to open HDMI with paid key (same as Windows Home to Windows Pro). Qualcom understand the power of money.
So it is a SW issue-but You can't just change n to y in kernel. It's a clear case for LG. Maybe they can offer a paid solution - but I doubt it.
