Now for all you Nitro HD users who didn't know that it is possible to stream video through the Micro USB port, well yes you can That port is actually a MHL port (Mobile High-def Link), which combines both Micro USB and HDMI features together, and all you need is a MHL adapter to connect your phone to your HDTV and stream movies while having your phone charged.
Now my question goes to those who know about these things. Any idea which MHL adapter is compatible with this phone, or can we use any adapter from any maker? And also, has anybody tried using the MHL capability on this phone?
Well, one would think it wouldn't be proprietary based on the fact that all MHL enabled phones use this as a standard now. I have used a MHL cable from an HTC Raider on a Galaxy S II and it worked just fine.
Does anyone else hear a slight grinding/grainy noise when you plug in the Micro USB? It always makes me feel like I'm breaking it.
any mhl adapter should work.
i use the mhl adapter from samsung infuse and it works! but remember to plug in power for it to works.

plug in power? what do you mean? I thought the whole idea behind mhl is that your phone will get charged via hdmi while streaming through it.

I think if the tv supports mhl mode then you don't need to plug in power.
If tv just has hdmi port then you need to plug in power.
The mhl adapter has microusb port for power input.

Which one and where?
Mine should be arriving on Thursday - just grabbed one of the many off amazon...
So my bro got me an Accell MHL adapter for Christmas and I'm finding it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't even provide a charge. I'm thinking its physical dimensions are such that the connector into the phone doesn't go in far enough (kinda LG's fault for making the port recessed, kinda their fault for making the connector so damn fat). So, if you guys find one that works for cheap, do you think you could hit us with a link?
TL/DR, Accell's doesn't work, please post ones that do

it needs power for mhl to works. did you try to reboot the phone after you plug in mhl and power input for mhl? i tried on samsung infuse mhl adapter and it works!
Yeah, I provided power and performed every possible sequence of hooking it all up that I could think of and also rebooted several times. I really think it's the form factor of the Accell connector combined with our slightly recessed port that causes it to not go in far enough. I just need someone to give me a suggestion of a brand to buy that they know firsthand works well with our P930.

It looks like that item is no longer available. I'm ordering B005NTHXYY, it's $9.19 and Prime eligible.
I can confirm that the MHL adapter that came packaged with the Samsung Infuse works great with the Nitro.

I am selling mine, it just doesn't work good with tv's.
On my Panasonic and my Sharp lcd tv it doesn't gives full screen, the edges are cut and that sucks.
Doesn't matter what Screen settings I try, no 100% of the S3 is displayed.
Auto scale, normally is the best setting, but not working out for this adapter.
For gaming it isn't such a big deal, but when your notification bar is only half visible and the apps been cut on the aidea and bottom, that is irritating.
I looked for reviews on Youtube and you will see many people with this problem, also many where it works just fine but the problem is in the adapter or the S3 which isn't working as it should do.

By any chance have you tried this with a USB hub / OTG cable to see if you could hook up a drive AND the MHL adapter?
Thanks!
Two question:
Are there any settings that i have to do first if i wanna connect the phone with my tv?
Can i see immediatly the screen at the boot time of the phone? And see it also in recovery or download mode?
thanks
When you plug in the adapter and connect it with the hdmi cable you will directly see the it, there are not settings for the mhl cable on the S3

This has been tried and it doesn't work.
Latest idea is hooking it up to an MHL enabled tv(meaning power coming this way) and use the USB port on the adapter for otg.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Well that ain't gonna work, the usb has only power as far as I know...
So you can try that, but the MHL adapter is not designed to use it like that. It needs the power via the usb connector.
But maybe, maybe you can get power via tv...

Yeah, newer TVs are designed to charge via MHL, though not sure if the official Samsung adapter supports it.

If you have an MHL enabled tv, the power comes from the tv so the USB on the adapter doesn't need to be used for power, hence I said you could try to connect and otg cable there instead.
It you have an MHL enabled tv then you don't need an adapter but just a cable like this instead

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I know, but I don't think the charge port will work as otg....
As far as I know it is only for charge, and doesn't have the rest of the usb working.
I even doubt if when it has a full functional usb port, MHL allows to use MHL both with usb on the same time...

Hey Guys,
Ive been meaning to purchase a portable HDD for my Note II ever since i got myself a USB OTG cable. Ive tried working my Imation Apollo 2.5" to my phone but with no luck, its been formatted to FAT32 and its only 120GB with a single partition, the LED lights up and i can hear a spinning sound but its short and runs in loops. Not sure what that means but ive tried hooking up a USB thumb drive and the wireless mouse and they both worked so the issue cant be from the OTG connector and it also works on the PC.
Anyways, im planning on heading out to the IT store in a few days to get my hands on a 500GB portable HDD. I would love to hear from you guys what brands/model/capacity works on your Note 2 so I dont end up with the wrong choice. Any input on this is most welcome.

and i've been using a western digital 500gb portable HDD with mine. takes a while for it to index everything, but thats only because my hdd's nearly full.
so are these new 500gb and 1tb devices usable with the note 2?? do you need a usb splitter as these hdds have two usb connecters??

Yes but to be honest I rather be 100percent sure before getting one since I'm only getting it for the Note2, I've got plenty of hard drives that don't work. With this device..Although I was wondering what if I just get a portable casing that supports USB 3.0 and fit in my old hard drive in it. Will that do.?

It seems portable HDD with USB 3.0 capability seems to work with us otg on the note 2 since it uses less power, as I tried one from a friend today. It was a 1TB western digital USB3.0. Also I think by default Sammy rom doesn't support NTFS file system so I had to download a 3rd party app called Paragon NTFS to mount the hard drive with NTFS file system. It worked perfectly.

I'm gonna order this one. Since it comes with a 11pin adapter and works with the S4 it should also work with our note 10.1 2014.
I decided to get it because it has USB host and HDMI all in one adapter. Sadly it needs power to output HDMI, but my TV has 3 powered USB ports anyway so it should be no issue.

Works just as expected. Happy with my purchase.
-USB OTG doesnt require external power works well, speed is high enough to watch movies from USB sticks.
-HDMI needs external power, and works out of the box. Connect and good to go.
But Android really needs some HDMI out options... My TV defaults to 1080p ->24hz<- which is just terribly choppy... I'd prefer 720p 60hz or something if 1080p is too much (shouldnt be since the tablet runs at even higher res/60hz all the time).
Is there a way to change HDMI output signal on the tablet? I didn't find anything.
Another weird thing, the same adapter is not working for my Galaxy S3. No idea why.
Hi all, I'm looking for a similar solution but I'm not very clear on the distinction between the 5 and 11 pin models etc, so finding it hard to make a best guess on what will work for the 10.1 2014.
I tried this because ideally I wanted to go from micro usb to VGA for flexibility:
http://dx.com/p/micro-usb-male-to-vga-female-audio-mhl-adapter-cable-for-samsung-htc-white-233333
but it didn't work.
Giving up on the VGA element and sticking with HDMI, would this have a better chance of success? :
http://dx.com/p/micro-usb-mhl-to-hd...-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-more-black-200cm-177204
Any thoughts appreciated
I bought this from Amazon and has the same configuration as yours but does not seems to work. It does not charge the note. The usb stick and ext hdd are not detected even with attached power.I'm using Total Commander for reading NTFS.I'm not a tech but I have a gut feeling that the S3 adapter is not suited for our note. You can use it for HDMI but I tried it on my charger and it does not charge the device.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HNEKZZQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I personally would suggest you get an MHL adapter without the HDMI cable added. Something like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&format=2
Reason I say that is because if the HDMI cable breaks or wears down after use you will have to replace the whole thing. The microUSB MHL adapter is only a few inches big. It's easier to keep safe in my opinion. Then you can provide any length HDMI cable you want.
This works with the note 10.1 2014?
