Hello team
Just been searching through and ive seen a few good hand of people discussing the adapter working well for the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket by AT&T . Was really hoping some people could point me to an excellent cable that works. I saw so many online, i just wasnt sure which one would work correctly , or most importantly work well
Would like links for MHL and a OTG cable if possible. Thanks in advanced for help
Phone currently running SKY ICS
A little bit of searching and i found these. Any thoughts/

I took some pictures for you all. IDK if anyone is looking at these, but here they are. I must say. ALL ITEMS work PERFECT. Couldnt be happier. My phone runs the CM 9 currently and im yet have any issues
The jig says in the description that it doesn't work on our phone, is that true.

no its not. It DOES work, i tested mine 4 times in a row. Turn off Device entirely. Then plug up the JIG , and BAM, turns on , on its own into Download mode
Heres a video of it working which i just recorded now @ work for you to see

Its designed to work for any of the GALAXY based phones by Samsung. Thats what i was told at least. And it worked great with mine if you saw the above video i posted :silly:
I appreciate you posting this. Was just researching on the OTG as well. Ordering mine from Amazon now. Already had the mhl for 6 months. Was worried that the otg cable would not power a thumb drive. Now I know. Thanks!
Yup sure does, i tried both FAT32 and NTFS Flash drives... Next up is external HDD
Now i need a transformer or a Tab 2
For a USB powered external hdd you need a powered USB hub. If you plug in the hdd directly into the otg cable it does not work.
If your hdd has its own power supply then it works directly.
The phone battery is not enough to power the hdd.

I just came to this phone from the E4GT and I love it. Dont love the 12 gb hard drive though. I have heard on the E4GT that you can get a adapter that alows to to connect usb devices into your phone including a flash drive. Does anyone know if that would work on our phones and what its called? +1 for any help. Thanks

I could be wrong, but this is what I've read:
I don't think anyone's tried it yet. You could be the first to try it and report back!
I bought an OTG cable (this is the adapter you'll need, it's a pretty easy google search) for my HTC Jetstream, but that's still running HC 3.1, and doesn't support this feature yet. Hence, the cable has wound up in an unknown box/drawer/under my bed. If I can find it, I'll test this out with the One X and give'er a shot.

Ya it would be awsome if it did. This is the best phone ive ever had but i hate the low storage space. How can they even call it 16 when you can only use 12 lol.

Yeah, that really pisses me off. Everyone does it though. It's the same on the HP Touchpad. 32GB my a**, only 25 is usable. On the One X actually, even 12GB is misleading. 2 of that is dedicated to apps, bringing your "sdcard" down to 10. (9.93 to be more precise.)

It doesnt work. Tried it last week when i got the phone with 3 different usb keys and even a USB 360gig drive on a powered hub A custom rom will be needed.
The international One X just got a custom kernel with USB OTG enabled. Who knows when they'll release the source code for the S4 1X kernel so we can get the same though.

Is there a trick to get video output from the blaze? hdmi or vga or anything at all? I'm surprised because it works on the galaxy S and I though they were almost identical phones except for the processor.

Actually, the Tmobile GS2 has the exact same processor (the 'normal' gs2 soc doesn't support hspa+42 and tmobile wanted the higher network speed over higher clock). From what I understand, there is no way to get video out of the blaze.
If you are trying to play it on pc there are a few software apps that can stream like VLC and such. TV... pretty screwed. I hear even the mhl adapters arent working for our phones either. Sorry
With Android 4.2 is a feature called Miracast or something close to that, pretty much just lets you stream to WiFi TVs.
True we are screwed. I was under the impression there was no MHL support on the blaze, and thus, it will never work.

Has anyone tried plugging flash drive into the phone with a mircousb to USB female?
I wanna get a converter but if HDMI doesn't work, I doubt that connecting external storage would work...

I haven't tried it (but can tomorrow), but I don't see why external storage wouldn't work. What you'd want is a USB on the go adapter to basically act as a host-mode interface for the phone to the storage.
I bought one of these adapters for less than $1 a piece, shipped. Well, I guess actually I bought 3 (they were really cheap) because I wanted to play with all sorts of things, including controlling my DSLR with one of those DSLR apps
Using this method and a USB hub, there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to successfully add all sorts of stuff like extra storage, mouse, keyboard, etc.
Mind you the host OS (read: ROM) has to support it. CM should support most of that out of the box. I don't know about stock based roms.
Yea I was gonna get it for my camera and other things but wasn't sure if it was capable of doing it.
I remember how on my Samsung Vibrant, the TV-Out feature worked by plugging a RCA cable to the headphone jack...It doesn't work on the blaze though. Just FYI
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Sure are a lpt pf TV-out and OTG files in ALL the roms........
USB OTG should work fine. That is built ib and works for me with a powered hub.
I tried compiling MHL support into the kernel, which works, but nothing on the TV. I think there are parts missing in the ROM for it to work.
hi every body
i will be very thankful if anybody can help me
today i get a usb OTG cable and i was very excited to try on my nexus s but i was very disappointed that even if i have a custom kernel that supports usb OTG i have to support externel power supply along with the cable which make all the process of > on the go < .. absolute not on the go ..
later when searching i found a video for nexus 4 i guess having usb with really on the go mode i.e. without 20 meters of cable extended along the room to the wall..
is there a way to make this work on the nexus s .?

Hi. I thought this phone was advertised as having USB on the go / USB Host features. Were they removed in Jelly Bean or were they never there?
I tried USB OTG cable with a flash drive and go another, as well as an externally powered hard drive. I tried a 5-pin MHL adapter (Rocketfish RF-G1171 from eBay) and had no luck. I haven't used an MHL device before bit tried many times. My TV can see MHL is connected so it seems the adapter is working. And there's an HDMI audio setting under ACCESSORY in the phone settings. I don't have another MHL adapter to test or another MHL device to test with.
Again, has this stuff worked before? Do I need new adapters? Do I need to downgrade?

That's lame it doesn't work on stock JB either.
Vaguely remember with stock ICS - though if I remember correctly MHL did work to some degree on stock ICS.
Some devices do have MHL &/or USB host working on CM10.1, just not us (yet )
MHL, USB Host & Wifi-Direct (screen share) are 3 killah features, all of which still need ironing out for the Relay.
However the devs at work on the Relay have acknowledged these as 'nice to have' features & will not come about any time soon unfortunately.

just dropping by to say that officially relay supports MHL but not OTG. connecting an OTG cable on stock rom makes the system go derp and prevents MHL from working until reboot
Will chromecast work with the relay?

Chromecast is not a p2p device. As such, it streams from the cloud, so device compatibility is not an issue for it. Also, it's been tested by teferi and infernix and myself

Oh sh!t. That's sick.
I've been on July 11th build for quite some time, because of its sheer stability and battery preservation.
Will test MHL when return this weekend. Else will favour for a latest nightly to trial the MHL capability you've mentioned.
So your getting crisp video and sound? No gimmicks?

It seems OK. Don't think sound code was altered after it was finally fixed. Not sure though. As for video I watch stuff on Google play and seems perfect, don't take very many videos with relay camera, so can't comment on that.

I'm not having much luck with either OTG or MHL. OTG appears to be registering properly in the kernel but userspace isn't doing anything. MHL appears to be registering incorrectly. I'm going to send my off brand cable back and get the official Samsung one.

from my experience, all mhl 1.0 adapters are the same (same silicon image chip)... so unless yours is defective it won't make a difference... tried to reboot the phone and just plug in the mhl adapter without plugging anything into the usb port before that?
edit: unless you bought the galaxy s3 compatible version that uses a 11 pin micro usb connector... our phone doesnt have that, it needs the 5 pin version (galaxy s2 compatible)
bump for this? Any progress nard?
Thanks for all your hard work!

I've been in the same boat for a few months. Charge yes. Download mode yes. PC see phone on USB no. Power button failed and replaced it. Asked the place that fixed it about the USB problem and they replaced the USB connection but this didn't help. They said could be a bad USB controller. I've flashed multiple ROMs with full wipe and same story. New USB cables don't help. It seems it must be software related. Have removed all Samsung drivers from my PC and reloaded to no avail. I'd really like to return to stock or GB because I miss taking movies and listening to streaming music without chop. And I think I'm getting old and lazy. Fair likelihood I'll get an S3 or S4 soon and give the infuse to my kid. Maybe I'll something bigger...
