Slimport - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone get a good slimport adapter?
Going to be at a hotel this week would love since mhl love

Bump

Hey,
I had a play with my SlimPort adaptor today, works a treat with the G4. Nice refresh rate too. I have the Kanex one. You can get it from amazon, ebay and from Kanex themselves at KanexLive.com.
Nice slim form factor too. Works without external power but also has a micro USB port for charging as well. My only unknown is whether it will support USB OTG as well using that port - I don't think Slimport supports that so probably a no, but I'll have a play later and let you know.
Cheers,
NJ
UPDATE: USB OTG doesn't work, if you wanna use it as a workstation you'll need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse

I have bought 2 on eBay, didn't have problems with either but the sellers no longer have them. Items 181322353837 and 311183296532.

Did you ever tried a Portable Pocket Projector like this one, with Galaxy S II ?

Or you have an idea if this or any other projector will work ?
Thanks
so no one has used a projector with SGS II?
PS: anyway the 24 euro offer for the pico projector form expansys si gone....
My guess is that it wouldn't work without some extra hardware or software. Looks like the projector takes its video input through mini-USB or composite. That's a bit of a problem because the SGS2's video out is MHL or HDMI. So you'd need a way to translate the SGS2's output to something the projector could understand.
Something like the Optoma PK-201, which has a HDMI input, should do the trick.
Worth checking out some reviews for these LED projectors first. I saw an offer for one the other day - around £15 or €17 but reviews suggest that it can't be seen properly even if you're in a room with all the blinds closed.

I got my car mount in today.... :)

I ordered a car mount from mountguys and wanted to post a pic. It seems to be really well made and came with everything you could ever need in order to mount it.

two questions:
1) how are you charging the tablet? I can't seem to find a car usb adapter that outputs 2A for the 10.1...
2) what is the mount attached to?
If you look at one of the pics you will find a car charger from verizon that has a usb port and I have just been plugging it into that and I haven't had any issues.
Its mounted to a little storage area between the seats.

That's easy. Go to Best Buy, Fry's, where ever and get a car charger for an iPad. iPads also need 2.1 amp. Throw away the cable and use a GT cable.

Hey just need some help/ HDMI output issue

Hello there.
I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 1 that has been stolen. I have inserted a photo of the cable i use for HDMI output from the phone. It would work on my original galaxy note.
I have replaced my phone with a Galaxy Note 2. I have tried to use this same cable put it would not work for me. Do i need to download a app or something to get the output from the phone on to my HDMI monitor or TV.
Thanks for any help , I appreciate your responses
Kind Regards Nethir Osman

This is the image.
Unfortunately it won't work. This cable is not compactibile with Note2. I had the same problem and situation as you described. You have to buy HDMI for S3 which also works with Note2.

Thanks for the response. I will probaly order one from ebay.

Magnetic dock/charging cable friendly cases?

Hi there,
Are there any good cases that allows the phone to be charged via the magnetic dock or charging cable (i.e. not micro USB)?
Thanks,
Chester

with the micro USB cable from my Note II and just use this adapter:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sony-XL39H-X...DA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item51b37645a3&_uhb=1
I can't tell you how well it will work, since the charging adapter is still in transit and the dock still hasn't passed funding stage yet.
I also looking for a case that will fit in the dock dk31.....any one know...?
