Well the title says it all, did any of you guys/gals tried to use a micro-USB to HDMI cable to try and get tv-out of higher quality than current component cables?
I know some Samsung phones had that option(usb to HDMI) and I know android OS supports it, but many companies have been known for blocking this option however. Samsung themselves even offered the cable, but it is now out of stock.
Also, does anyone know where to get this cable for less than $30+? I would try it out but that price just seems like a rip-off!
Plus does anyone know where the restriction the manufacturer puts on usb to hdmi video output is lcoated at? (in the anroid OS parameters)
Thnx!
I believe the Captivate can only do TV out through the Headphone jack, not the micro USB prot. But don't quote me on that. Check out this video.
i read a review that said the phone could do tv out through micro usb to hdmi but the cable from samsung is too expensive and sold out to boot.

The Captivate can in fact produce TVout via a MicroUSB - to - HDMI cable. You just need the cable and your good to go.

Samsung released a page with it on it. Its out of stock, but will be priced at $50! I think that's way too much, hopefully there will be cheaper options out there.
The samsung item is Product ID: ECC1HU0BBEBSTD
Does anybody know if the HDMI cable will power the phone at the same time as using it? I have read that the HDMI spec provides a 5V power supply and was wondering if that carried over with this cable (or correct me if I'm wrong on that). It doesn't sound like anybody has been able to find these cables anywhere yet, but I was just curious if I should be excited at the prospect or dismiss it entirely knowing that it'll kill the phone's battery...
gonna hafta pick up this cable sooon when its available...
I'll buy it if it works like the 3.5mm headphone jack video. IE, it displays anything, rather than just a few supported things.
Cheap deal
Found this while searching for that cable. Looks like you can get a replica cable for $3.60. Out of stock of course.

The pictures of the cable show a port of some sort, on the HDMI end. It looks like there is a picture of a power plug just above the port. I'm guessing you can plug your micro-usb charger into the HDMI end, and charge your phone that way.
Quick thought on this guys. There's no proprietary magic going on so someone should try the micro to standard usb then get a usb to hdmi cable. I hate to string cables together but data is data and in lieu of waiting or paying 50 bucks, I'm gonna try a two adapter method. Probably cost 20 or less not 50.

Need to pay better attention, those cables will not work. You need a microUSB to HDMI not a microHDMI to HDMI cable.
Thnx for replies, I also posted this on another android forum and it seems there are just no shops that currently sell it. I called couple of big suppliers and they all say that it should be arriving soon.
So it seems we just going to have to wait this one out.
$50 for a 2 ft cable makes even the ever so expensive rip-off cables from Monster Cable co. cry. lol
I was hoping this would work, I emailed Samsung to see what they had to say. Their response was not what I was hoping....
Hopefully its a case of the customer service rep not knowing anything. But its looking like these cables are only for some pmp style devices Samsung makes. It would be nice if someone can confirm this.
The way it sounds is if you want anything better than composite video out, you will have to use DLNA.

Samsung changed its tune about the cable working with the Vibrant and Captivate. So either they made a mistake and removed the cable from the page(s). Or they are going to announce the cable when they have the software to make it happen done.
They probably made a mistake, however on both captivate and vibrant seems slightly more unlikely.
Very fishy indeed, like always samsung is in some kind of a cover-up... in any way the guy I was talking to said they special ordered them and they have arrived now.
Here is the link...

Not much better than samsungs price but at least they have them in stock...
Someone should buy this and see if it works lol
Or you all can contribute a dollar or something and I wil lbuy it myself for testing.
after searching a little bit about 11 pin port in galaxy s3 and take apart an 11pin to 5 pin adapter i am thinking about make DIY smart dock for galaxy s3
i ordered mhl adapter and waiting for it mean while i tried to connect usb otg and extra micro usb connector together so i can use otg and charge the phone at the same time. but the problem is when i short ground and seance pin for otg ; charging doesn't work.
so any suggestion about the project?
i attached a plan of my project here
edited:after failing my 1st attempt i succeeded to make it work on my 2nd try!
this time i opened a 11 pin to 5 pin adapter. it has a small resistor which is connected ground to sense pin for hdmi out put. i removed that resistor and i connected 5 extra wire in the adapter 1. vcc 2. data+ 3. data - 4. sense 5. ground ( i showed in picture) . then i connected sense and ground with a 40.2k resistor.
then the 4 wire, which i i connected in 11 to 5 pin adapter (vcc, data+,data-, and ground) , goes to a femele usb where you will connect usb devices or usb hub.
and thats it!! hope you can try it too. if if have any other question just ask me

AW: diy smardock for galaxy s3
You forgot the vcc at the otg side, but anyway it can't work.
While charging you send 5v through the micro usb to the phone.
But in otg mode the phone will send 5v to the usb connector to supply power for the connected device.
I think your only chance is to use the inductive connectors to charge your phone while in otg mode.

You have to use the Pins for the wireless charger (QI-charger) under the battery cover.

I have a suspicion that the IC to the left of the Realtek one is the brains of the board. The RT chip does the hdmi out conversion and the other two longer IC's are usb host and usb audio. Can't make out the printed data on the unknown chip, but my best bet is if we can get a dump of whats on there then we might have a good chance of DIY hdmi/otg capabilities. i'm no expert by far, but just throwing ideas out there.

hi guys! just want to give an update of my work.
i got otg and charging work together.
as in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953061 i just connect ground and sense pin with a 40.2 k ohm resistor.
i ordered 40.2 k ohm resistor which i just got tonight. the hdmi adapter i have is a cheap and old one. its not mirroring the screen. i ordered a new Rocketfish MHL HDTV Adapter . hope that will work!! waiting for that to arrive!!!!
here i am giving 2 screen shot
mess lol
and here what i did so far....
i didnt connect micro usb female port for data sync because those i didnt get yet.
if anyone have any suggestion please tell me.
hoping to make it work.....

Great work, necomer. I've also been trying that for two months now, but haven't been able to make it work. I have the 40,2 KOhm resistor between sense and GND, and am able to launch smart dock mode on some ROMs I have tried. So, which ROM are you running? My only idea here is that maybe you having a US S3 is what does the difference (well, I'm assuming that, maybe you have an international one).
Thanks in advance, and once again, great work :good:

I'm pretty sure your buying the wrong MHL adapter. The Note II and the s3 have a different micro usb than any other phone and require the samsung
MHL adapter.
Not sure what you are trying to do?
Amazon sells a combo cable so you can use OTG and charge the device at the same time. I use it to connect a 1TB portable drive to my S3 and Tab 2 10.1.
I bought the official Samsung HDMI adapters for both devices. They are powered and stream over HDMI to my TV just fine. Works with just about everything I've tried although some services require some workarounds. Copy protection crap.
What you are trying to do sounds risky. You might fry the phone.
I apologize if I haven't grasped your intentions but I'm kind of slow.
Edit: I think I may get it now. Are you trying to power, feed external data through OTG and then stream out to an HDMI display?
Dumb question as I said I'm slow but, how about the official Samsung HDMI adapter and use the power in port with a powered OTG combo cable?

what i am trying to do is, use otg , charge the phone and use hdmi at the same time. i thought it would be easy bcz samsung made new 11 pin connector in Galaxy s3 . so apparently its supposed to work ,as they are not using same pin for transferring data. But i dont have any idea about internal proses. while charging and otg at the same time is possible, dont you think we can connect hdmi with it in any way?
well all this is just guessing from my little knowledge. i want some suggestion from those who worked on this and correct my mistakes

Maybe... it's a HDCP problem...
If your TV don't support HDCP function(or authentication failed), then MHL chipset will show a black screen
(HDCP : High-definition Digital Content Protection)
I was going to this topic, being all hopeful that I finally might get my S3 in OTG+Charge mode. And then it turned out it only worked on a phone still running 4.1.1. I have 4.1.2, and OTG+charge did work for me before, but it seems Samsung broke it in 4.1.2. It is probably the fault of the kernel that came with the XXELLC (a stock 4.1.2 ROM) update, but how to fix it is beyond me.
Are you serious! I won't update mine then. I need to use that together! !!

I don't know about the S3, but I had a Vibrant back in the day, and I bought a cable from radio shack that is typically used to connect older camcorders to TV's, and it would mirror my screen to that input.
It's a 3.5mm jack on one end, to 3 red, white, and yellow RCA cables on the other end. Make sure the 3.5mm jack has 3 black bands on it. One for each audio channel and one for video. I don't know if the functionality is gone, but it was there in the vibrant.
Yes, it's possible.
What you need is a regular MHL adapter (with the 11-to-5 adapter for the S3) and an HDMI-to-SCART converter, such as this one.
Then just link them phone->MHL->converter->TV.

This is misinformed. The only signal that comes from the s3 is Hdmi. You have to buy either a MHL adapter or a smart dock and connect it to an hdmi to SCART adapter like the ones linked in this thread.

You can purchase a MHL to SCART adapter which will save on one product (the HDMI to scart).

That was an example but a quick look on ebay-co-in shows that while the first two items mentioned above are readily available, the third item and the adapter I mentioned are not.
Another convuluted way would be to use MHL -> HDMI -> VGA -> AV -> SCART. HDMI to VGA adapters appear available and there are a few VGA to AV adapters like this one: ebay-in/itm/PC-Laptop-VGA-to-AV-VIDEO-S-VIDEO-TV-Converter-Box-/280546899386.
Unfortuately this may be too difficult or costly once you've got all the parts. Depending on what you want to achieve you could potentially use DLNA to stream the content to a media device connected to your TV with AV/scart inputs. The WDTV boxes appear available on ebay-in.
A new monitor of mine came with a cable. One side fits an HDMI port and the other side fits my phone's microUSB/MHL port. The cable says "MHL" on it. Therefore, I thought it would allow me to output video from my phone to a monitor/TV, but it doesn't work. When I plug in both ends, my phone's red light comes on like it's charging and there is no signal received by the monitor.
Are there settings I need to change on my phone? Is this apparent MHL to HDMI cable not what I understand it to be? Thanks for any answers.

If you really wanna output video from your phone to a monitor/TV, you can order a MHL to HDMI adapter from Samung online store or ebay/amazon.

My phone is an SGH-T999 (T-Mobile Galaxy S3). I'm sure I could get the official adapter from Samsung, but I'm wondering why the one I have does not work since it appears to be MHL to HDMI. Do I need to check the number of pins? How? Are there any special settings I have to make on the phone or should it just plug and play?

You could look for a 5 pin to 11 pin hdmi adapter for the s3 (around 2$), this could make it work fine

When i connect my MHL to HDMI adaptor, my first step is changing the TV signal mode to HDMI signal Mode before i plug it to HDMI port, please give it a try. I don't think it just plug and play if you turn on your TV as normal for watching TV play. Your have to change the mode first.
Hello Guys,
I wonder if there is some tricks to use our OnePlus 3T in the Samsung Gear VR ?
Maybe with some modification there is way to use it in it no ?
Thanks
Try removing the USB-C port on the OnePlus 3T and adding a USB-Micro port instead, then you will be able to use the GearVR.

Yep, the newest version which was supposed to be used with Note 7 had USB-C port.
I didn't know that. You can probably rip the software and libraries from an S7 or Note 7 and get it working then.
The 3T fits into the gear VR. Just tried it out but the problem is to get the software working ...

That's probably not gonna work, your best bet is to get a more generic VR helm like the Bobo VR Z4 like I'm using. It's got an integrated navigation button and speakers with volume control.
