MHL adapter question - Galaxy S III Accessories

I see an mhl adapter (11pin) being sold in the Samsung US store. I was wondering if this works on my international phone which I bought in the Philippines.

works, you need an 11pin adapter for the S3, I also got the international version and the 11pin works.. A shame samsung didn't go for the official standards

Ok great, thanks for the info. I heard that this new one was special and allowed otg plus tv out at the same time

MHL on AOSP ROMs?

Does anyone have the mhl cable and have they tried it on cm9/10/aokp? I want to buy one but I want it to work on whatever ROM i'm running.

If anyone sees this thread it works on cm10

Did you use an 11 pin or a 5 pin adapter?

I'm guessing it would work. I used samsungs 11 to 5 pin adapter and my current mhl cable.
EDIT: audio doesn't seem to be working for me but it might just be my mhl cable.

MHL Adapter (Samsung Official)

Hey guys.
Just a quick one. I have the official Samsung MHL Adapter and it works on the gnex but I have assumed, and I probably shouldn't, that it would work on other late Samsung android models. Doesn't seem to work on the note 2...
Just wondering if anyone has got it to work and if there's one for one and another for another? Which I'm thinking is the case. Sorry if this isn't part of this particular forum just a random question. It "sort" of related to the Gnex haha.
Thanks in advance.

MHL Adapter

Hey guys.
Just a quick one. I have an official Samsung MHL Adapter and I have tried it on my note 2 and it's a no go. Now, I'm stupid but not that stupid. It's one I bought when I had my Galaxy Nexus and it works on that.
So, I think it's one for one and another for another. I thought there was only one adapter.
Would anyone know anything in regards to this? Just want some other opinions etc. Seems to be only one available but I could be wrong.
Thanks heaps on advance guys.

There's two mhl adaptors, the one you have is for the galaxy s2 but there's also one for the s3 (& note 2). You can also buy an adaptor tip so you can use the old cable with your note 2.
Don't know if anyone knows if there's going to be a third one for the s4!?!
Hope this helps.

Will this work with ANY tv?

So, i want to buy the official mhl to hdmi adapter for galaxy s4 which has a product number : ET-H10FAUWEGWW
Will this work with the galaxy s3 that i want to buy? If yes will it work with any tv?(assuming of course it has hdmi port)
It has to be a MHL enabled TV. At least that's what I've read. I actually bought one of those cables and tested it on my HDTV and it wouldn't show anything at all. I tested on both my Sprint Galaxy S3 and my Nexus 7 FHD.

Could u give me the link where u read it?
The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses MHL
The Google Nexus 7 FHD uses SlimPort
These are two different standards and the cable is not interchangeable.

Unfortunately I'm a new user so I have a few more posts before I can post a link in a reply. But if you go to best buys website and search MHL you will find what I have read. I think I included a screenshot in this reply.
Just because it says it on bestbuys website doesn't make it real. The MHL standard is designed to convert to regular HDMI. Any HDMI TV should work fine with it.
No offense to anyone. But I'm going to take the word of Best Buy's website unless, you have proof besides your say so.

If it says it's for any Samsung Galaxy product it's worth a shot. I don't know anything about MHL really. But the cord I have doesn't work and that's what I'm going off of. And the best buy website. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.

The other thing to note is are you running a custom rom. I think the mhl drivers are in the touchwiz frameworks.

There is no such thing as a MHL enabled TV. MHL works on anything HDMI ready. The only thing is if you are running a AOSP based rom, it will not work, right now i only works on TouchWiz.
My MHL adapter works flawlessly on my 2010 Aquos.

Actually, there is such a thing, but it's not that important.
An MHL-compatible TV will supply power (5V/500mA in 1.0, 900mA in 2.0. and 2A in 3.0) to the adapter and charge the phone.
A non-MHL-compatible TV won't do that and you'll have to connect your own charger, but it will work fine otherwise.

So if the tv has an hdmi port and i have a power supply, i should have no problem it seems...
If the only difference is the USB ports are more powerful then I don't see how that has anything to do with MHL.
I have successfully tried my MHL cable on many TVs and I've always used it's own power adapter plugged into the wall.
I have heard there are crappy MHL adapters that do not work though.

Correct. an MHL TV just means you don't need to have a charger on hand, have a free outlet, have a long enough micro USB cable to get to that outlet, etc. etc.

[Q] HDMI Adapter Not working

So I've been using Jovy XTREMEPERIA S4 rom forever and just bought an hdmi adapter. When I plug it in the "connected to hdmi" message doesn't even show up. Anyone else using his rom have this issue?
You might want to try asking in the ROMS original thread.

Did you get a cheap one off e Bay or the samsung official 2.0 mhl adapter with the hologram on the box? There are fakes out there
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I have the 2.0 real one. It works on my wife's note 3. And I have the original one that worked on my s3. I haven't tested them yet on any other roms . That's my next step. Thanks.
You may have already checked but it is an 11-pin adapter right? The 7-pins don't work on the GS4.
