Not sure what you mean.. there's two major ways to stream content to a TV. 1 use a mhl adapter and an HDMI cable to connect it to your TV.2 use a dlna app from the market like skifta to stream content to a dlna certified TV. Hope I answered you're question.

Thank you for your support. However I wanted to know that I cannot see any setting on my phone for tv out. Like in the sgs1 there is an option under display settings which needs to be checked pal or ntsc before continuing tv out..

There is no such thing on the galaxy nexus. Using the mhl adapter will not require this at all. All u need is an HDMI cable and the adapter and it will automatically output video and audio to the TV.

Alright Thankyou for the information!

Unless you are referring to a component, composite or s-video only tv. If that's the case I don't think there is an economic option without an hdmi converter. Even then im not sure if it would work. Id be interested if anyone knows of any proven hardware that would work for those non-hdmi tv's.

[Q] Mhl & usb otg together

i was wondering if i can connect my galaxy note 10.1 to my samsung Smart hdtv tv via Mhl and use usb otg to connect controllers so i can play games on my hdtv with the controllers
did anyone do that before?

Im pretty sure you can use a usbhub or anything like that, connect the MHL and the controller to the MHL and it should work but Im not sure.

Can you elaborate a bit?
Don't the usb otg adapters / hubs connect to the same port as the hdmi adapter would ? And thus far l haven't been able to find nether a hdmi adapter with an usb otg port, nor a usb hub / adapter with hdmi..
Anyone?

Hm thats right, when connecting the OTG it will only recognize it as USB and when connecting the MHL it will only recognize it as MHL.

No not yet, well don't think so
You'd need a multimedia dock

Crap, major bummer!

There is a multimedia dock coming out soon for the s3 that will allow otg and hdmi plug to put your cable into.
There is already one for the note 2 but it doesn't work for the s3 at least that's what the reviews say and also said might work after an update from samsung.

You can always use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard or controller with hdmi. Or you could do allshare cast hub for widi with usb otg devices. It does artifact with more intense games though.

Wow I hope I can get a dock like that for my S3 and/or note 10.1
Thanks for that video.

The note 10.1 is the same internals as the note 2 and s3 so I don't see why one built for the tablet plug wouldn't be possible, I doubt this would work if you tried to connect via usb otg adapter for the 10.1. Hopefully they release one!

Why not use the six access controller app which allows you to tether ps3 controllers wirelessly?
It might also be possible to do similar with xbmc which released in beta today but I've not tested that.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

Well what about connecting a usb drive etc. Or use other controllers. For that matter I for one might need to use a wireless mouse... really hope they launch a media dock or something similar.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Any news on this front? Anyone heard anything about a media dock or something similar for the note 10.1 ?

Just a update for this.i got a p1000 galaxy tab media dock.with a but of dremel work it fits o.k this dock has audio out and hdmi out.both work out of the box...good news.now if i dock my tab i get audio out.if i then power the dock hdmi out works also.if i unplug the power and connect a otg adapter i can maintain audio out and otg usb drive access works fine too.i wonder if i could power up the mhl adapter could i have hdmi out...audio out and otg usb working concurrently....as i believe the pins are there in the 30pin connector.i dont have time to dissasemble the dock this week but im going to try soon.any thoughts?

Question in RE: to playing video on TV

I have the note 2 and have a bunch of videos of the kids. I wanted to play them on living room big screen.
So I bought an adapter that I plug into my phone and then I can plug in an HDMI cable along with a side power source plug.
Basically I plugged them all in and I cannot view the videos on my tv. It doesn't even seem to recognize my phone. Anyone run into this? Or know what I can do to watch video on my TV?

you need to have the MHL adapter with 11 pins..for s3 and note2................there are some 5 pin adapters for note1 and s2 in shops..you might have got that

Just checked and that is exactly what I have. A Samsung MHL adapter that is supposed to work for the note 2. Frustrating.

You could go this route:

Read review and make sure the one you're buying works for the Note 2 or S3.
I have one from my ol' S2, bought an adapter for my Note 2 and it works like a charm!

Nope.
You need the mhl adapter like others suggested unfortunately. Unless you can find one locally than there is nothing you can do.

You need an mhl cable. More specifically the one from samsung because they made ours non standard.

Or get smart dock which had hdmi out.

Thanks guys. Just didnt make sense. I could view my pictures on the screen but not broadcast netflix to the tv. I plugged it up to my blue ray player and lime I said I could see my pictures and videos just not netflix.

needs to be an 11 pin MHL HDMI output adapter...

Netflix video output low res and compressed!

I have a MHL hdmi adapter and it works great with everything but netflix. I really want to use it for netflix but the video looks horrible on the TV. Again everything else out of the phone looks great. Games, movies, web browser. Just for some reason netflix wont output correctly. Any ideas on how to make this work? Thanks.

I have the same problem
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

it's just the Netflix app. Other devices suffer from this issue as well. I've seen a video where the Galaxy S3 did it as well.
I have a ASUS Infinity Pad (TF700T) which is running Android 4.1.1 too, and Netflix doesn't do it. The big difference between it and the GN2 it uses a microHDMI instead of MHL.

Same problem here with both the smart dock and the samsung mhl cable.
Netflix does NOT have this problem on the evo lte which uses mhl*.
* Regular standard 5 pin usb mhl not this retarded non standard proprietary special 9 pin samsung thing they somehow get to call mhl even though it's a completely different spec.

Sorry misremembered. You're right 11 pin.
A standard 5 pin mhl cable does not work on the note2.

Yeah I looked it up just in case and yeah they use a different pin setting but turns out better for us since we can use the features of the smart dock
