Hey
Once again probly a stupid question but is there any phone that can basically directly display onto a TV or similar. Kind of like a video output on a PlayStation/DVD etc. Not USB mass storage.
I want to view my screen on the tv .
Thanks.
P.s hope I put it in the right forum

There are a few phones with HDMI outputs, if you search wikipedia there is a list of phones with features.
The Galaxy Nexus has a HDMI out combined with its micro USB port, to connect it to a TV you would need a MHL connector. You could probably get one off ebay or amazon, or just a phone shop.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc also has a HDMI connector.
galaxy note also can use a MHL connector
Cheers people. I was more curious as to whether it could be done but now I know its that easy I'll have to give it a go.
Thanks for the input everyone

I heard that if i root my HTC inspire i can view videos and photos on tv using micro usb to hdmi cable ??? is this true??
also is there any apps that can help duplicate the HTC screen on tv using hdmi or regular RCA cable???? i used to have this option on my captivate.
I'm willing to pay $20 for such an app .
I had a similar question a while back when I wanted to know if there was a way to get a cradle that had speakers from the charging port and d was told that there was no way to get any audio or video out of the micro USB port. Only charging/syncing. If you find out different, that would be good news. But I wouldn't expect it.
Is there a composite av cable for the s3? I'd like to be able to hook my phone up to my car's rear video screen so kids can watch movies through phone.
I'm only aware of the Galaxy S III outputting digital video via an HDMI adapter through the USB port. So, you could get that cable and then purchase an HDMI-to-composite converter, if that is battery powered or otherwise can be charged within the car.
I was looking at this Sima product, but would guess it won't work in this case.

I just bought these two products to accomplish this- will these do the trick?

probably not because the s3 has a new MHL connector that uses more hidden pins
I'm eyeballing either TV Video AV Cable for Samsung Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 or Samsung Galaxy TabTM HDTV Adapter for my Galaxy Note 10.1
My biggest concern is compatibility.
I checked on samsungs own site for the compatibility between the HDMI cable and the Note but it came up saying "NO" but I don't know if that's because they haven't tested it yet or it really is a NO. As for the RCA one, I'm aware I'll lose the awesome video output and will be watching it in SD, that's ok, the videos I have saved on it are from DVD so it won't get better than 720, what I'm more concerned about is "will it work"
anyone tested either of these and know the answer?
BTW: the Note is completely stock at this point

I bought the HDMI adapter, I believe it is the same one you linked to on amazon, official samsung adapter, but at frys electronics ( I had a $100 giftcard there from the sale hey had on the note 10.1). It has nice picture and audio as should be expected, and it is nice with apps like youtube with the user interface.
The only issue I found with it so far, and might be a deal breaker, is you need to have your charger plugged into the adapter at the same time for it to work. There is a slot to plug into right next to the input on the device. It seems like a nice feature at first so you can charge your device while watching netflix or whatever on your regular tv. BUT you NEED to have it plugged in in order for it to work, and I wanted to remove several cables and stuff. I got this adapter so I wouldn't have to worry about moving my laptop from my office to my living or bedroom to watch some tv, but it will be the same hassle it seems like with this.
I am considering returning it and going a different route that will better suite my needs of less wires.
Don't know about the RCA thing, but it seems like it might be a good route if it works.

Thanks dude!! It does work perfectly! This is great and fixed the issue I was having, still wish I didn't have to though haha, but at least it is better now.
I have the HDMI lead that I use with my Galaxy SII, will this work on my tablet if I buy a usb to micro usb converter then plug that into my 5 in 1 reader?
like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330758690574?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
thanks
'fraid not. Our tabs don' t support HDMI out as far as I know.

Anyone has use the mhl 3.0 hdtv adapter? It said that the power cable is not required? Anyone tested it? It also can send image to the tv at more resolution that 1080P.
Hey,
I don't know if this will help, but in my first week of owning the GNE I tried to connect it to my television using a mhl 1.0 adapter I got off of eBay. It needed the charging cable to power the adapter, but overall it didn't work. I read somewhere online, that a Samsung brand television is required, or maybe not? I have an Bose television, which is not that popular, but if someone on here can get it to work on a non-Samsung brand television using a mhl 3.0 adapter, let me know.
Thank you for your time and for reading.

I have an MHL 1.0 adapter (Samsung brand) that works fine with my Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 (2014) tablet, but doesn't work with my Note Edge. Definitely something different between the two technologies.
I actually picked up an MHL cable form Amazon last week. I've used a few different brands, and they've always been unreliable - I'm including Samsung's here, which failed in less than a week (!) because of poor construction.
This one's worked pretty well for me so far! I've used it with my Note 10.1 as well as my Note Edge and my only real complaint is the shortness of the cable. You'll have to have a wall outlet pretty closeby or an extension cable in order to use this thing with either of the devices I mentioned. Or you can do what I did and just hook up one of those portable batteries you can get just about anywhere now.
I can't post links yet, but if you look up "Rankie MHL", youll find it.

I own samsung official mhl 3.0 cable. I connected my note 4 with a 4k philips tv and played some 4k samples from lg tv's. Philips TV reported the signal as 2k at info section.
P.S. I have not connected external power surce to mhl adapter
I just use a Belkin Miracast HDMI adapter... works great with the Edge.
