Engadged says the galaxy nexus has the same chip for MHL/HDMI as the galaxy s 2 and infuse 4g. Strange most people don't report it. Also being a google device I thought that everything on the phone would have its API for developers but I found nothing on android 4.0 reference about video output or multiple screen.
Older nexus were well documented in functionality or not?
I'm thinking if it could become a portable media center

What is the XDA recommended MHL adapter? I'm assuming they are not going to add this into the box with the Nexus.
Probably samsung mhl is best bet. I think it can be had for $29 on amazon. Monoprice sells one and most reports have been good. A lot of people dont like the t action going on with the usb cinnection on it though.
I voided my warranty and your nexus.
Does MHL support analog audio output? Or is it digital audio via HDMI only?
EDIT: should've done some reading, looks like MHL supports digital audio only. But the Galaxy S apparently does have an analog audio line out sent using the same wires as the USB connector when it detects it's connected to the Samsung dock. I wonder if the Galaxy Nexus can do the same...

Yes, the one sold for the Galaxy S2 should work. If one wants a cheaper alternative they can check out this one from DealExtreme. The manufacturer claim they are using Samsung chips according to DX staff. One could throw in a USB OTG cable as well since I assume that won't be included in the box either.
I am thinking of getting the Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter from monoprice. According to the description you can charge the phone at the same time.

Because you have to connect to the power adapter. On my sgs2 however it seems to consume more energy than supplied. I have the original samsung not that.

Even if uses more energy than supplied, the loss will still be slower. As for the nexus, i am at least hoping it will break even since omap has a dedicated iva3 chip.

Hdmi and charging
I have received it in the post this morning , thought it would be as simple as just plugging it in like it was on my sony arc. Nothing seems to be happening . Has anyone else got a mhl adaptor to work ?
I have got it to work. Had to plug the charger in too. Donut. Lol.

So how does this work exactly? Sorry I've never seen the setup before. There is just one cable right? Is it split at the end to provide to outputs? One for the TV and one for power?

The ones i've seen is a micro usb cable that goes to a small box where there is another micro usb plug(for non-mhl compatible displays, mhl compatible displays should apparently be able to work without the extra power) and a HDMI plug.
Here's an example of one: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/micro-...2-i9100-i997-htc-g14-z710e-p510e-black-104139
I got the SGS 2 MHL adapter and it didn't work at first. I rebooted the phone and then it worked.
I was going to order an adapter from amazon last night but rethinking it im going to wait until the end of the month and get the desk dock which will have mhl support built in and has an hdmi port on the side for connecting to a tv or monitor.
Still ended up getting an HDMI lead from amazon for 49p though lol .

As far as I know places should start getting them in stock around the 30th but the only place I have seen the docks advertised is an online shop *HERE*.
Hopefully they will start hitting ebay soon as hate seeing my phone laying on the desk rather than standing proudly like my HD2 did

Ok i have a quick question as to whether or not this cable will work with our galaxy S2 on my Samsung TV? I'm pretty sure it will and would just like to confirm with someone who knows 100% for sure. Thanks in advance.

That looks like the exact one I have and it works ..... running Jugs and faux .07b
(but you have to have a power source plugged into the adapter, normal charger or usb works fine)

Hi,
I've recently bought a non-geniune MHL/HDMI adapter and wanted to try out. The problem is that there is no signal / nothing on the tv at all...
What I have tried:
- At first with CM10 derivate roms and so on -> not working
- obviously only working with stock roms -> installed WanamLite ICS and still nothing at all, even with real stock rom 2.3. (but rooted)
- tried with a non-geniune charger, the original charger (5V Power) and with original-USB-cable Charging.
The special thing is that when I plug in the phone & the charger there is no charging of the phone. Should the phone be charged even when there's no HDMI cable connected? If so, I guess the adapater is broken.
(the TV is Full-HD, yet a no name one)
Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Bought it from this retail company, but the swiss one. The shipping is a bit overpriced, but it's fast and there's good customer support.

I bought an official Samsung-made one for 15e in Serbia, so I presume you can buy one even cheaper in Italy

you could do that way too, itll probably end up saving you $10 in the looong run. Or you can just buy the right, one cable, and not have as much hardware to connect and hiding. Not sure if that even matters for you but the wire mess can get out of control quickly.
Hit up monoprice for the 11-to-5. Theirs work just fine for cheap.

I've got the official Samsung S3 MHL adapter and the video is laggy while watching it on tv. I've tried everything from freezing every single unneeded app + putting the device in airplane mode + overclocking + doing a dance with dead goats and virgins during a full moon (make sure your blinds are closed you don't want a neighbor freaking out like mine did) and nothing helps.
Any suggestions?

Does anybody know of an MHL to HDMI adapter that works with the Galaxy Tab S? I have one for my wife's Galaxy SIII that outputs video but does not charge the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 that I have - it recognizes power but has the little no charging symbol over the battery. Just curious if anyone knows of an adapter that does both, displays video and charges the Tab S?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the "official" Samsung MHL to HDMI adapter that I bought for my Galaxy S3. This adapter works also with my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab S.
IIRC, you have to plug things in that order for it to work :
- Power to the MHL adapter
- HDMI to the TV
- HDMI to the MHL adapter
- MHL to the Android device
At least, that's how I'm doing it and it works... HDMI is displayed AND the tab is charged. I tried with the charging adapter that came with the Tab S.
Hope this helps.
BTW, my adapter looks like this one :

I have a Fosmon adapter that does not work. Tried it your suggested way and nothing appears on the screen. You don't need to activate anything on the tab, do you?
I need this for next week. I wonder how fast amazon can get that one you use out to me.

You need to use one specific for Samsung. Their pinout is different and a normal MHL adapter will not work on Samsung hardware.

Looks like it will. I use the one below. The adaptors mean it will work with anything and I don't need a separate HDMI cord. It is also $10 cheaper.

No, it worked the first time I tried without having to change any setting or launch any app.
Well I guess I'll have to try the adapter that dcoulombe referenced on Amazon. The adapter I have is the Cirago version but I guess the adapter I have just doesn't pass along enough power to the tablet to actually charge it. It works fine otherwise, as in it outputs to the TV fine, just doesn't charge the tablet. I'm guessing the Samsung version must pass along more power through the adapter to the tablet.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Have you ever found fully working adapter/cable? I've tried these two:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LL1LD1C/
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESM3UVC/
and none of them works. First one does mirroring but only at 24Hz refresh rate but does not charge. 2nd one is not working at all, it does not charge Tab S (it does for S3) and no video output but maybe I got defective one.
if Sammy is changing the standard setup for a reason then i would like to know what that is. if its to sell their own stuff for profit then lets see the stuff???
since the Tab Pro release there has been NO updated adapters by Sammy and their website clearly does not show compatibility for most of this stuff past the S3
weird and i like most of you have bought many things to find half work as good enough for now at best

No problem. Any chance you could test to see if it streams and charges simultaneously? That seems to be the problem with a lot of these MHL adapters they will play video no problem but often not charge at the same time which makes the battery drain insanely fast.

i dont think you will find something to fully charge and video out. you will find charge at 1amp but that will just prolong your use but eventually run the battery out and you need to find video out with 2amp charge combined with Tab ability to recognize it which i do not believe you will find.

So right now my adapter shows no sign of it actually doing any charging. Is it possible that it is charging at the 1amp but just not displaying it?
Is the samung adapter the only one that can accept the 1amp charge?
