I'm having the same issue (same slimport adapter) with my LG G2. Did you ever get this resolved?

[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.

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.

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

Tv Out?

I was just wondering, does the note 2 support analogue tv out (via headphone jack) like the galaxy s?
I have a none hd tv in my bedroom but can't figure out how to watch movies from my phone on it.
I already have the tv out cable from a nokia 5800 which also worked on my old n8.
Kind regards
Chiller.

You need a mhl to hdmi for the note 2 (samsung) i buy it in a phone store for 30 euro's the original one
Online there are much sites where you can buy it
Sorry for my english i do my best xD
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No not hdmi... my bedroom tv is from the stone age, I am asking about analogue tv connection through the headphone socket. The Galaxy S has the feature, I just want to know if the Note 2 can also do it and how.
U can buy the mhl to hdmi converter... Then a hdmi to rca converter. That'll do. Most crt tv uses rca cable. That's the yellow red White cables.

Do you have the cable, phone and tv? Try it yourself.
Otherwise ask in the question section.
I tried it. It wont work. Only the sound. No screen. U need mhl for this. Your said cable won't work with note 2

Getting to the point, No.
You have to get an MHL adapter for the microusb port.

[Q] Device that would allow me to connect Nexus to tv?

I don't know if there is a specific micro usb cable to hdmi convertor that I need to get in order to play my Nexus 7 to my tv. I don't remember if I read correctly, but I think I remember there being an article saying the Nexus 7 has a difference in its build, in which it needs a specific device to connect itself to an HDMI tv. Not sure though. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it. I am basically only trying to look at these avi files on my tablet to a tv.
Think all you need is a MHL adapter

Thanks, alright I just bought one at this link if anyone else looking wants to see what to get. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECU3M22/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
MHL won't work with the Nexus 7(2013). The slim port cable you ordered should work though.
Funny how I gave him the wrong item and he still managed to order the right one

You need a Slimport adapter (Not MHL which is a different competing technology!). Or get a Miracast adapter there are dongles , and use wireless access).
Unless you're running a CyanogenMod 10.2 build in which case, the
Slimport to HDMI function is not yet supported or working.

I use Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 to connect my N7 wirelessly to TV. It works pretty well. You may also want to install iMediaShare app from Google Play store on your N7 for streaming local and online content once connected to your TV.

You can also have a look to Minix Neo X5.
I've got one and it works fine with the Nexus 7 2013 on TV :good:
