I want to buy mhl cable for my note, the thing is, I'm not familiar with this technology at all, seen a few videos where mhl won't work unless its plugged into a power source, which might be an inconvenience as it requires u to carry the charger.
How is the image quality on the screen? 1080?
Anyone with good experience can tell me a way around this, more into less wires carried around?
and a good mhl cable link to buy from, cos there r thousands out there...
Sorry for such question but this is my first Samsung device (coming from desire HD)
Cheers.

I've yet to receive my Note but coming from a GSII I can answer a few things.
Unfortunately, yes you will need to have a power cable plugged into the MHL adapter, and I don't believe there is any workaround.
The effective resolution on the TV will be mirrored from the phone's native resolution. So a phone that is 480x800 will only mirror that resolution throughout the OS. Only when playing HD content will the phone put out 720/1080(p/i) effective resolution.
The great thing with the Note is that because the native res. is already 1280x800, that will be the res displayed on the TV which will be great for web browsing as that's about an average laptop res.
Any MHL adapter should do. I bought a cheap one from expansys and it works without a hitch. Just read any comments on the product to see if previous buyers said it doesn't work on a recent device.
I bought genuine Samsung from Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LGUDKK/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
It arrived as advertised and works great!
thank you for the feedback , i bought http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0060Z8CYK from amazon uk , it has a discount on it for the time being.
will report once i get it.
cheers

I bought a non Samsung one on ebay and am having problems. The connection keeps breaking down and re establishing (the video on the phone continues). I've tried 3 chargers and 2 cables. The MHL adapter gets warm also. I was looking into getting a genuine version from Samsung and looked at Amazon (UK). 1 reviewer had doubts about the authenticity of the device he received, fearing it to be a counterfeit.

I had this issue a couple times on my GSII and I found that using SetCPU to lock the clock speed up to 1GHz+ [depending] helped and basically removed the issue, so give that a try and see if it did anything.
charging through HDMI
isnt the HDMI TV port supposed to charge the device , or provide enough power for the adaptor to work ?
not all models can provide power through HDMI but some newr ones can i suppose ? i read that somewhere so long ago but i cant find it anymore to link as a reference , though im not quite 100% sure of that , ,may be it me saying non-sense ??

Thanks for the advice. Have just installed setCPU with minimum speed of 1000 but still getting disconnections. Am not sure, however, how to use setCPU so the min CPU speed might not have been saved.

From what I recall, TVs that support MHL will provide the adapter with power so the power cable can be used to charge the phone while plugged into the adapter. I might however, not be 100% correct.

Odd. Have you tried to set SetCPU to performance with the top clock speed at 1.4GHz or higher? That could potentially help.

Hi there !
I've got the same problem than you, 4braid. Connect/disconnect every 1 or 2 minutes while playing a movie. Perhaps is it a software problem ? I use MX Video Player. What is yours ?
Samsung told me that SGS 2 cables were ok and, more than this, that every MHL cable should work. So, do we need to buy a Samsung cable to test ??

Hi, I am using the default player but I don't think it's the problem as the video continues to play on the phone when the TV cuts out. Also, I've tried playing Asphalt HD through the TV and the same thing happens.
I'm gonna try another better HDMI cable and another app, just tu know if it's better. Perhaps will I have to try also with the branded Samsung MHL cable ?
I bought a non-samsung aswell.
Tried it and it works flawlessly on my LG plasma.
Tried several apps and sources.
Hi,
I think I got a clue !
In fact, it's not so easy to explain but I'm gonna try...
I have put my new HDMI cable between my Galaxy Note and my HD tv. I have watched a new movie with the same video player (MX video player) and I notice great results : no disconnections ! I was very excited and tried the movie that I was watching last time with problerms. And, then, no problems this time ! So happy again !
But that's not finished. Listen...
At a moment, it cuts ! And 4 seconds later my phone rings. I answear and watch my movie again. A few minutes later, a new cut ! And 4 seconds later, my phone rings a second time. I don't answear and the movie goes on. 15 seconds later, my movie stops again and my phone ring to show me that I have a message.
It seems that the phone network is not transparent in that case. More, that not only the fact that phone calls stop the MHL transfer (like the camera application do) because, otherwise, the signal should have stopped at the moment of the phone rings and not 4 seconds before. These 4 seconds are the time, for the phone, to switch between Wifi network to 3G network ! And, that's a fact, I was connected with Wifi during time where my MHL connection worked.
I'm not sure of being clear in my explanations but, if you ever put your phone near a amplified device, there's a symptomatic noise every x seconds or minutes when the phone look for a signal on the phone network (something like bzzz bzzz bzzz). Well, I think that each time that event arrives, the MHL link is "broken" for a little time.
To be sure, I tried somethig else : I have disconnected Wifi and used only 3G network and my disconnections returned back frequently ! I have reconnected my phone to Wifi and I have no disconnections problems again !!
So strange, isn't it ??
Perhaps the distance between my phone and my tv plays too ? It seems that a good quality HDMI cable is a good thing too.
Well, 4braid, could you try to use Wifi a short moment (or even cut the phone network by puting your phone in airplane mode) to test and tell me the result ?

Hi manu_katz,
You are a true genius!!!
Switched to flight mode and played a video with no problems (even tried a game).
Cancelled flight mode and signal to TV lost in less than a minute (video continued on phone). After picture returned to TV I called the phone from my landline and as soon as I pressed the last digit of the telephone number the signal was lost and 4 seconds later the phone rang. Also happened when I sent SMS to myself. I suppose this will happen every time the device "phones home". Many thanks for your info. you have saved my from buying a genuine Samsung MHL adaptor.
Great to hear I was right !
Me too, I have seen a movie entirely, yesterday night !
As I said, perhaps is there ways to correct the problem without need of cutting 3G network (like the fact to use a branded cable or the distance between phone and tv) but for now we find the way to use our f*** not branded cable ! Lol !!
Are you able to see the srt subtitles on the tv screen with the mhl cable? I can only see them on the phone screen but not on the tv.

I've encountered that issue too. It's a shame unfortunately, but the only way I've found to get them to work is to use software decoding. It's a downer, but it does work.
I've got a strange problem with my third party cable (similar to this one: http://www.lunashops.co.uk/goods-935.html). It seems like the output is cropped on the top and bottom (so the notification screen and dock are cut off). I've already tried all the aspect ratio settings on both of my TVs (1 HD Ready and 1 Full HD), so that isn't it. Has anyone else experienced this before?
If someone has, what ROM and kernel do you have?
Also what miracast dongle do you use?
Thank you

I use miracast all the time. Perfect for whatching video and playing some game.
I use the Nexus 7 2013 with stock rom on my Sony KDL47W805 tv. No dongles or whatever needed, everything works straight out of the box.
I tried it out with the Rocketfish dongle from BB and running CM10.2. Was seeing some pixelation and freezes. In the end, I returned the dongle. It was cool to play with it for a bit but just don't think miracast is ready for prime time.
I have Netgear PTV3000. really cool for everything except gaming. The lag in the game is unacceptable. I tried Rocketfish as well but wasn't happy with the setup and performance and ofcourse the price. Returned it and bought the PTV3000. so far really happy. i wish i could game to but not just yet
Thanks for the reply guys. So it works huh, seems like connection not that good yet but could it be just the dongle? I'm not really looking into playing games on bigger screen although I was hoping so but more likely just watching movies and videos using miracast dongle to a projector or a TV.

Measy A2W Dongle
Anyone tried the Measy A2W Dongle? The prices seems to be very nice (~EUR 35).
They promise Miracast compatibilty but they also say something about HDCP support being a requirement. Does the N7 support HDCP with Miracast? I tried to Google for it but wasn't able to find any information.
That's the dongle I am talking about:

Did you try gaming with a controller or with the onscreen controls? How do you find watching videos? Do you have any stuttering issues like how I showed in this video?

Gaming is a no-no. The latency kills the buzz big time. However, video playing is flawless. It stutters for the first 10 seconds, i guess it tries to stabilize the bandwidth or something, i don't know, but after that its smooth. What i noticed was that when i had kept the PTV3000 on a platform, it was stuttering. It slid off the shelf accidentally and is hung currently (suspended by the HDMI and USB power cable). This is going to sound stupid, but since then the video play back has been flawless. I play youtube, play MXPlayer, 720 p movies. browse the net, watch pictures and everything is great.
Gaming, like I said before, is a no go with rocketfist and PTV3000. These are the only two i have tried so far. Actiontec claims to have come up with an adapter that is supposedly meant for gaming (NVidia Shield kinda endorses), but last I checked it was high priced. I have no plans of trying it unless the prices slash drastically. Maybe someone can try it out and write a review?

I didn't use Miracast for almost 1 month (since September mid). When I tried last week, strangely, the stuttering became way too worse. I was trying to show off Miracast to my Apple fanboy friend, and it would stutter very badly. I was too embarrassed. I tried even hanging the receiver, no change. I don't know what made this change all of a sudden!

This is down to the channel and interference. Grab a computer (not a phone or tablet) and ping your router's IP address for a minimum of 20 pings. If the time is greater than 1ms over WiFi, change the channel and try again until you get it down to 1ms. If you can't get it down to 1ms, then either your drivers are old or you have interference from something else, such as other electrical equipment or reflective surfaces.
Start with other electricals and switch off anything you don't need to be on. Faulty ballasts in lighting fixtures can be common ones to cause interference that you can't easily detect, so try switching lights off. In all rooms, not just the one you are in. Once it works, work backwards to find the faulty device.

Still waiting for it. There was à problem during shipment
Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 5 avec Tapatalk
@bootx1
I don't know exactly what fixed it, but its working beautifully now. I have been using it for the last 2 weeks. I faced stuttering only twice for less than 2 seconds each time, that too during the initial connection attempt.
The things that I suspect that could have fixed it include
1. I updated to the latest PTV3000 firmware.
2. I had to sent my Nexus 7 for repair due to speaker issues. They might have replaced the motherboard which in turn could have fixed something.
3. Weather changed from 25 degree celsius to less than 5 degrees.
4. My up stair neighbour moved out.
As long as it works the way it is now, I will happily dismiss this as one of another life's mysteries. It works properly even with a case.
So here we go,i juste received measy dongle 3 days ago...
I test miracast,dlna ans airplay :
-miracast : from my nexus 5 its working really good juste a small delay from smartphone to TV but with my nexus 7 its different. Its more laggy and unplaisant to use a lot of flikering during screen changing
- dlna : working really good with 720p mkv and control from bubble upnp
-airplay : working really good
In conclusion : 30€ fortthis , i think its a good deal

What aspects/resolution your using for the TV, just got a Netgear PTv3000 everything works fine, but I get those black bars on the side of the video, how can I adjust to get a wide screen or full screen, I tried different video converters and no luck, tv settings no luck, but with my nexus 5 I get the wide perfect screen thanks

I haven't tried changing resolution with Miracast, but I do it while using Slimport. You can try this approach too, or I will try it out over the weekend and let you know.
Open Terminal Emulator
su
(grant super user)
wm size 1080x1920
(make sure the x is lower case in the above line)
The above script should change the resolution. To reset it back to stock, you can do
wm size reset
You can change the dip by using
wm density <size>
However, i don't change the density when I am doing slimport.
Hope this helps.
I just wanted to let y'all know that I have a spare galaxy vr 2016 edition around with the USB C adapter.
Its a little finicky on the connection side, but it doesn't strain the port and the phone snaps in fine. Once u get it /just/ right the home/back/volume and trackpad work on the vr.
I only tested it by loading a video in youtube and then tapping on the 3-dots and the "cardboard" button, but it works and pretty well too as long as you don't need to navigate around much
When in youtube as long as you got the touch pad working u can recenter the video by looking just beyond the edge of the video and tapping the track pad
I'll have to mess with other cardboard apps, I figured I would post up in case anyone else was interested or for others to report what apps work well or not so well with it.
Maybe someone will figure out exactly what needs to be tweaked near the port to get the phone to detect it every time. Perhaps the headset is drawing too much power? I haven't plugged a charger into the headset while the phone is in, I'm not willing to risk testing that.
I will say that I did need a reboot after removing the phone from the VR, it def seemed to slow things down a bit, chrome wouldn't even fully load.
Everything's been fine after rebooting though
I also have a spare 2016 model unused from my wife's old S7.
I'm curious which adapter you used. Do you have a link?
Thanks!
Even without the adapter, I can't get my G6 in the VR I got from my original S7. Was the VR that came with the standard S7 different than what came with the S7 Edge? It is just simply too tall. Ideas or am I being stupid?
Does it work with 2017 Gear VR ?
I've used my G6 in 2017 Gear VR it fits just fine. I used it as a daydream headset with all the necessary daydream apps and services installed which I found on XDA for G5 - you have to be on custom rom though.
Experience is not that good due to display but it works nonetheless.

Well you can use Cardboard apps/games and use GearVR just as any cardboard headset.
I have lg g6 and gear vr with usb type-c, and when I connect them my phone starts endlessly making sounds of connection/disconnection. Buttons do not work at all. Did you do something especial before plugging?
I recently obtained the HP lapdock for a fair price. This works via USB c connection just fine. I've been looking into how to get the wifi direct connection to work with no luck BUT I know its possible.
OXI rom has been able to successfully connect to the HP lapdock. See this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAWbDg4hcYc
I have no idea how to try to even get this to work but my guess is it relies on something to do with the wifi direct api somewhere in the phone. Anyone want to take a look into this or know someone that could port this?
Thanks
OXI reached out after I contacted them. So if we could get Lineage support we could get OXI support. Anyone know how to build Lineage? Lol or know someone that could build it for us?

Hi I'm trying to use the hp lapdock on my mate 10 just get a blank screen when connecting do I need a special cable using the USB C cable that came with the Dock
There is a Dell Dock that works with the Razer phone, Tested it with keyboard, mouse and Monitor (HDMI output from the Dock, DP ports wont work)

Trying turning off the dock, plug in the cable, turn the dock on, when it gets to the cable or wireless screen plug in the phone. I use the item cord. Sometimes takes 15 tries =/

Still no joy just the blank display although it's connected as when I press the keyboard it does stuff on my phone tried every combination on start up. So annoying but thanks anyway
So updated to 8.1 Oreo, enabled Miracast from build prop, it will attempt to connect as the screen goes black on the Dock the phone force reboots. No idea whats causing it. Attached is the logcat, if anyone can look at it and assist I would be grateful.
If you need more info from a logcat just tell me what I missed. I refuse to give up on this and will continue researching and tinkering.
Also gonna try some Treble GSI's see if they work. Starting with AOKP
I downgraded my Razer phone to the 7.1.1 Android version and I STILL can't get this thing to work with the HP lapdock. Tried using the usb-c cable it shipped with, tried using a thunderbolt 3 cable...only the keyboard will work. The screen and track-pad are a no-go. The Galaxy S9 works with little fuss, so I know it's no a problem on the lapdock's end.
Ugh. I just want this thing to work.
i have a mate 20 pro, blackscreen with cable an no connection with wirelles. did someone get it to work?

I've recently bought a refurbished Lap dock from an italian seller on Ebay to use with my Blackberry Key2 (Android Oreo) and I must say it is a brilliant solution. I come from the Sentio Superbook, witch is also a very interesting solution, but the Lap dock is definitely better: screen, keyboard, touchpad have no comparison... The Sentio desktop app, anyway, works very well and offers an (almost) true desktop environment.
I haven't had any particolar problem connecting the lapdock to my smartphone, even if sometimes the screen doesn't light up, using the standard cable. I think the best way is to insert the usb c cable ony after the screen is showing the two connection options, first in the lapdock and then in the smartphone. Key presses in the touchpad don't work, but gestures are just fine once you get used to them.
I've also tried the wireless connection using the Miracast app: recognizes the screen, but the touchpad doesn't work and the keyboard is double typing every character. So basically it is useless. Hope it can help someone...

Was wondering if you ever got this to work?
no sorry, never got it working. would have been great. Maybe with some other lapdock in the future.
So it works with the Razer 1 through the cable? I have the lapdock and I'm shopping for a new phone but I'm not interested in the Note 9 which is supposed to work great with the lapdock as well.

It doesn't work wonderfully, YouTube can't run some of the time, and the audio doesn't work at all really. Just through head phones. Even with the new Dex updates. But it is fine in a pinch.
Hello to everyone!
I saw that Galaxy Tab 8 has a feature that you can use it as a second screen on windows 10/11.
See video below:
Can we unlock that feature for Fold 3? Anyone has a clue?
Thank you.
Nice to see I'm not the only one that wants that feature on the fold. I've been searching for a way to bring it to the fold 3 but have been unsuccessful. The only thing I've found is that second screen is a part of smart view
This works well.

I second this request. The second screen on my S8 Ultra is literally amazing. The fold 3 is a natural step. The fold 3 is also missing an e sim capability that I think should be there and likely able to be unlocked via software update.
