[Q] Best HDMI Adapter for JellyBean ROMs? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Could I get this adapter and us it with the custom JellyBean ROMs? (specifically Viscious Liquid 4.1.1-V1).

It looks like that one goes to a regular HDMI (instead of micro HDMI) which is nice, and also has the USB port extended for charging as well.
Thanks!

I can't say if it's the exact same or not, but mine looks identical to that one, right down to the writing on it. I got it from monoprice (actually cablesonsale.ca, which sells monoprice stuff in Canada). It works great.
The micro USB port isn't just for charging though... you have to plug it in for the adapter to work. At least with mine, anyway.

Oh yeah, I can already picture their faces when they close the books for the year and they are 5 bucks short of their goal
Anyway, please come back and let us know how it's working out, I want to get one too.

Not sure if you were laughing 'at' or 'with' me, but whatever - I 'll still update this post when I get it.

MHL to HDMI adapter

This adapter by Samsung is originally for the Galaxy II but it will work on the Note as well, right?
I'm thinking of getting it and just want to check if anyone else has used it.
Yes it will.
Also this is a cheaper one, why dont u try it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-ADAP...K/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_1/277-0346756-7564665
I got one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cablesson-MicroUSB-HDMI-Female-Adapter/dp/B007K8NNOA/ref=pd_cp_ce_0 and it works great.

Nice one, they even ship outside UK. That is usually the problem when buying from Amazon.co.uk. Never know if you'll be able to get it until check out time.
While I'm at it, is it a good idea to also get an OTG USB host converter?
What could I use it for?

Is this MHL adapter good?

http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt..._1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341241725&sr=8-1&keywords=mhl
I need an MHL adapter ASAP. Does anyone have any experience with this MHL adapter?
Thanks!
EDIT:
What about this one! http://www.amazon.com/Skiva-Adapter...F8&qid=1341247731&sr=8-5&keywords=mhl+adapter
I have that one. It's worked with both a LG G2X and a Samsung Galaxy Note. I think most devices need to be hooked up in sequence for it to work properly (charger first then HDMI, or vice versa).
Edit: Oops, I meant Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket, not LG G2X (that one had its own HDMI out). Too many devices last year...
The reviews from people owning the Galaxy Nexus state that it has awful performance.

Do you experience any choppiness or anything of that sort?

I just noticed the extra reviews. I need one for vacation, and this was one of the top ones on Amazon. If this doesn't work, I can always return it. That's not a problem. I just really need one.
Do you have any recommendations for MHL adapters on Amazon?
What about the other one in my OP?
I have the Skiva one. Works well. I PM'd you about it.
If you need one "ASAP" why not just run down to the TMobile store and pick one up.
I just bought one off of monoprice, 9 dollars. I'm sure by reviews it will work fine and monoprice has never failed me.

I don't have a TMobile store near me at all, and plus, I'd like to not pay out me butt cheeks. I need one by tomorrow and I figured I could use Amazon and get it for cheap with one day shipping with my Prime account.

That's too expensive when I toss in shipping. I would definitely have checked them out if I would have thought about this sooner. Sadly, I just thought about it last night, but I was busy with work.

EDIT: Apparently this one will NOT work for the s3 since it requires an 11 pin adapter.
This seems to be the most affordable and quality product that I could find, and has really good reviews on Amazon as well. At $11.99, you really can't go wrong here.

That adapter is not for the S3 as it is still has a 5 pin connection. The S3 requires an 11 pin adapter.

Is this confirmed for the sgs3? I thought it used a new, unique mhl adapter. Samsung has made an adapter for old adapters but that's like another $15 and then you need two dongle things

Thanks for letting me know -- I have this sitting in my shopping cart right now! :good: For some reason this pops-up when you search accessories for the S3 though.
Found this for $8.95 at Android Central Store.

I refuse to buy an adapter FOR an adapter on principle.
I'll just keep waiting for the $10 knockoff MHL adapter that's s3-compatible to pop up on Ebay

Smartdock and motorola lapdock...

has anybody with proper cables tried hooking up the gnote2/smartdock to a motorola lapdock? that would be friggin' awesome if the lapdock completely works with a hdmi cable and the keyboard/trackpad if functional with a usb from the smartdock. i really have no interest in the smartdock as i have mhl already so the smartdock would be redundant for me in the few situations i use mhl but if it works with the lapdock then a whole bunch of possibilities arise and my laptop would probably never ever leave the house.
so anybody know, tried, working on it, interested etc.? i was planning on selling my atrix/lapdock soon but seeing i need to order a couple things from samsung this week i am thinking of trying it. the thing is though, the smartdock has been unavailable on their website and $100 is too expensive for me to just experiment for hahas. if it becomes available and i can snatch it for $50 with a half off coupon then i will order the other cables necessary to try.
I would be interested in this as well. There is another new thread asking about it (though yours in newer).

Thanks. Didn't see that. Problem is finding a smart dock now. Amazon has no stock. There are 2 on eBay at let me empty your bank account prices. Samsung has no indication if and when these will be back in stock. So now the question remains... anybody want to sell their smart dock for a reasonable price so I can test this?

Supposedly the dock will be back in stock mid February. It is likely amazon will have it a few days before Samsung's website has it though. Don't ask me why.

SlimPort adapter

Anyone find a cheap SlimPort adapter to get HDMI out to a TV?
I've been looking and was hoping they'd come down in price by now...
I know Amazon sells others, but the one from Analogix is the official one from what I understand, and it encounters the least issues. Further, they guarantee compatibility with all Nexus devices, as well as LG devices, and one of the Chromebooks. I personally use the SlimPort by Analogix (SP1002) for my N4, and it works very well. There is a new model out now (SP1003), which came out in July, which replaced the older model. From what I understand, it allows for better charging capabilities.

Buy adapter, imagine the possibilities! Day one: I can now watch Netflix on my TV via my phone! I can share photos from my phone on my TV!
Day two: Quickly realize I have no need or reason to do that again
Week two: Sell adapter

^^ This is how I imagine it would go if I bought one as well.

I was tempted by some of the less expensive Slimport adapters on Amazon, but eventually decided to go with the Analogix (SP1003-2116). It is just under $30 and if you are a Amazon Prime member free two day shipping. It seemed to get much better reviews than the other Slimport adapters. Mine came in the mail today along with a wireless charger. Hopefully my N5 arrives Monday so they can play.
