[Q] Is it mandatory to connect the charger with the HDTV Adapter ? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I've got my HDTV Adapter for a stock Galaxy Note 10.1, I'm a bit disappointed because it looks like it's mandatory to connect the charger (the cable already has got an extra slot for connecting the charger) in order to make the note send what it is displayed on its screen to the cable so I can see it on the computer screen for example.
Does anybody have an idea if this is true or not ? I'd love the idea if it is an option but not an obligation !!!!

My experience is yes, power is required. But this can be as easy as plugging in the usb to the tv or monitor if it has a usb port, you dont HAVE to use the charger

Which adaptor did you use?

Well, let me tell you why I'm a bit disappointed, I used to have an iPad which used in a lot of meetings moving here in and there with my pad and cable, now I've to have a power source around or even a computer, with a at least two cables with/without a charger, I'm not bothered with that at home but while one business this note didnn't prove to be a stand-alone, I'm not sure if an app that may simulate charging can deceicve tthe note on that aspect or not but so far, this can be considered a draw-back

how to connect the GT 7 plus to TV?

I've made a small exercise to see if there an accessory to connect the GT 7 plus tab to TV
I found on Samsung official website at GT 7 plus section accessories a mixed accessories for GT 10.1 and 7 plus and there is a 30 pin to hdmi cable, which in description says its for the 10.1 !! here http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGSTA
even it is pricy but it is a solution if works
there is a thread opened in amazon about that issue and no sharp answer for connecting to TV
some said the dock doesn't have hdmi some said there is a dock that has and some said there is micro hdmi port in the dock
so anyone did hook the tab to a tv? and what is the easiest way?
also I've ordered this cable http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005YWIRBS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
is it compatible with gt 7 plus?
The samsung hdmi adapter works fine with the power adapter plugged into it (netflix looks fine, as do vids played through mVideoplayer). The composite adapter cable does not work with the p6210.

I have the hdmi adapter, and it works well enough. I have hooked it up to a hdmi monitor and a hdtv. I haven't tried it without it being powered by the adapter. One curious note though:
The P6210 turns itself off if plugged into the hdmi adapter with the screen off charging from the ac adapter. Not a SOD, just completely turned off. Not that big of a deal, although it takes a few minutes for the music player to reindex my mp3s. My solution as such is to not charge the tab on the adapter, just use it when I want to watch something (movie/game) on a larger screen).
I picked up an OEM version on amazon for $32.99 USD (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HDMI-Adapter-Galaxy-10-1/dp/B0059UGT1K/ref=pd_2)
Hope that helps.
I found a multimedia dock for the original galaxy tab 7 for $15 and it works for HDMI out. The 7+ is slightly wider.
question
Hello, If I want to connect the tablet to see a film on TV and charge it at the same time, it is possible???, imagine I want to see 3 films .
Thanks.
best and cheapest
Like the other post here, the Original 7 tab hdmi dock is the cheapest and it work at Amazon for under $15, if you have the mini-HDMI cable already. Package didn't come with original packaging box, but it come new and have everything needed. Note you do need your own mini-HDMI cable ( I grab one that come with my PC video card) and a 30 pin charger cable that with the Tab 7 plus. With the Tab 7 plus, it is wider then the original 7 Tab for the removable place holder. I didn't use it with the Tab 7 plus, but another option you can use a dremel to cut the side out, either way it work. Do know you will get a little video overscan on TV and I don't see and setting to correct it. But all in all video and audio stereo pass to your TV or sound system. The stand is a glossy black finish and connection are mini-HDMI on right side, 3.5 jack and the charger pin on the back.

The HDMI cable has a charging port on it. From what I know, the adapter doesn't work without the power plugged in as well.

That's the cable and it DOES have a charging port on it. The charging port is on the same side the wire comes out, you can see it up close in the 2nd image.

Is there a way to do it with the IR connection us tab 7 plus users are fortunate enough to have or ability to conncect wirelessly without tv compliant with bluetooth or wifi / ethernet. ? Maybe something i can plug in to make tv have bluetooth or something? Stream video music games wireless would be nice however 30 dollars for some little cable seems to me a crime because its only compatible with this device like how apple charges out the ass for their hdmi out adapters...

The only way to output to a TV is via HDMI via the cable pretty much
So I've decided to go with the galaxy tab 7 multimedia dock.... it was only 14 with shipping amazon I hope the output resolution is as maximum as the galaxy tab plus 7 ? I find it a joke to spend 30 to 40 on one single little cable no thanks!
Note: you say to dremel a a side? Can you post final picture of that modification at all?

anyupdate after getting the plus to work on the HDMI dock?
I believe it should not have issues.
On the otherhand, I want to get the RCA cables to work...but i am not sure how it can be done...
using OTG connection with female USB outlet & getting a USB to RCA for connection.I hope it is okay...Pls post out if anyone willing to try out!
thks!
I picked up 4 of the Galaxy Tab multimedia docks for $7 each. They work fine with the GT7+, the fit is a little tight but will work. I am getting 1080i to my TV. You do need the power cable connected for it to work, so I picked up a couple extra of those too, connected to any USB will work, but won't charge. It appears to switch the screen to landscape when connected to HDMI, and I didn't get it to switch to portrait, which is the orientation the tab is in while in the dock. I am thinking about fabricating a stand to go along with one of the docks I got so I can use it in a landscape orientation to match the TV output.
Does the hdmi adapter works with a 1amp charger? I'm hasitating between sgt7+ and the mediapad. It'd be good if don't have to buy an other charger.

[Q] Charging Problem

Hello Everybody , I have a Tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 . In fact my Tablet is charging slowly and when i connect with the usb cable my computer does not recognize the Tablet . Somebody can help me
Are you using original cable ?
Long cable tend to be slow charing
I just received my Note 10.1, a used one with 3m length cable, and same as you, not recognized by the pc, I ordered shorter one on ebay
Also not sure Galaxy charging works for this tablet, but it's less than 0.5A when using this cable, sooo....
i had a problem like this.
Use the original cable, or a usb 3.0

T700 HDMI

I would like to be able to buy a cable so that when i am away i can plug my Tab into an HDMI TV and watch movies directly. I know that it is possible but before i root my tab, are there complications on rooted devices that would make this function unavailable?
Any cable recommendations greatly received.
I use MHL cable. Kind of 3 way cable. 1 to your device, 1 to the hdmi port and another 1 is usb charging port

I went for the Chromecast and Allcast app from clockwork. It gave me some trouble initially but now is working well. I'm yet to test it with WiFi AP as the router. I hope I can use it when I travel without a bringing a router

I used to use the Ipad and you only needed 1 cable for that...
I wanted to use for presentations so the last thing i want is needing to plug it in charge!
Thanks
its working without charging. but your battery will drain fast.

Great - how did you do it? lol
I have an MHL-HDMI cable and it was just not connecting at all (without charging) infact I didnt even know you had to plug it into a charger into I read your post, I just went to a meeting room and connected all up again, this time plugging in the charger and hey presto it works!!
As soon as I pull the charger out I loose picture - does that MHL device need charging up?
dont know... mine just work that way... lol... you can also plug in to the usb port on the display.

Because some TVs have MHL enabled HDMI ports that don't require external power.

Smallest Micro USB to HOST/CHARGE adapter?

Hi guys
What are you using to power your Tab S and have a hard drive etc connected
at the same time?
Looking for the smallest possible option to limit bulkiness
Thanks!!
what about this cable.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EJP5X...m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0RE8386SWCWM00V7XPZJ
John.
Yeah looks good....what cables are you guys using for charging and host at the same time?
I heard its not recommended to use an external hard drive without supplying power to the Tab S
Yeah, your right about using an external power supply when using an portable hdd with your tablet as it uses too much power by the hdd, the cable i linked above has an microusb socket for you to plug your tablet usb power adaptor into.
John.
The Y-OTG cables supply power to the OTG device (e.g. SD card USB reader) but not concurrently to the Tab S. Basically all they do is reduce power drain on the TabS. The previous comment to try to use a powered USB hub or a self powered USB device is good advise.

I have to resist the urge to go cheap on power adapters, after i had an car and an mains adapter start smoking in a week and nearly blew-up my HTC M7, I have been looking at the Belkin USB Adapter 2.4amp it comes with an 25.000 damage warranty, they cost between 15-20£ in the UK.

Have you tried the ones on aliexpress.com??
They say its otg and charges at the same time
Samsung tablets no longer supports this function that I know of. They used to have a dock mode that would do usb host charge and hdmi out ending with note 8. I tried all types of resistors and cables so far the lava adapter is the only one that worked. It's a solid 1amp charge with usb function. I wasted more money making and buying cables that said worked but never did. If u want ou cheap buy a usb host cable put a 1ohm to 10k potentiometer in between ground and Id pin turn it slow til u see usb host triggered on the tablet but again it could be a waste of money and not work. I had a tab pro trigger usb host and charge that way but was very unstable current. Any questions let me know.
Hi.
In the user manual it says that the touchscreen my act-up while it is used while the tablet is charging if the power supply is unstable.
A quick Google show this is an common issue for a lot of brands of tablet/phones

Picking the right sctive MHL cable for Note 4 ( Enyos SM-N910C 8 core )

Hi all,
I want to use my Note 4 as a PC with connected USB switch and a TV for a monitor.
What I know so far about the MHL cable:
1. It has to be active cable, with a power supply feeding from my 2A phone charger
2. Every article suggests that Note4 has 11 pin USB connector. So I can use it like a PC with such cable.
3. MHL 2.0 can transfer 1080p @ 60fps, Note 4 has MHL 2.0
What do you guys think, what cable you suggest that I should pick?
One would be the following, according to my research:
http://www.amazon.de/CSL-Adapterkab..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=1NB4JR4JTSNX4ANBM298
Cheers !
The Note 4 also supports MHL 3.0 which allows power to be drawn from the TV directly. I believe your TV must have a MHL port to utilize this to the fullest. Is this more power than coming from an power outlet? I don't know.

The cable you found should work. You may need a USB hub to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. I haven't tried a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse but you might be able to connect 2 devices at the same time?
Since you want to use your note 4 as a computer i recommend you to buy Samsung Smart Dock multimedia hub. I have it and my cracked screen S4 is connected to my TV and i use a wireless keyboard to browse and watch movies from showbox etc... better than any smart tv out there.
if you look on eBay you can get it cheaper, i think i bought mine for $50 almost 2yrs ago. it has 3 usb port for flash drive, keyboard mouse, hdd

My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) can use MHL cable (11 pins) without external power on my old Samsung TV that doesn't support MHL natively (I have to use USB charger when I connect my old HTC Sensation on the same TV).
I also use Bluetooth Headset & Gamepad at the same time with no lag while on my Gear VR.
But I've never tried all Bluetooth Mouse, Keyboard, Headset & Gamepad...maybe I will try it tonight
Use you charger only to charge your phone when needed
NOTE:
I use 3 old MHL cable with micro USB 5 pins to 11 pins converter & all working well, without external power source.

Best solution I've found for being able to charge the phone, have USB OTG and MHL out to a TV at the same time is the Samsung Smart Media Dock:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Multimedia-Smart-Galaxy-Series-White/dp/B009KZ3XE6
...they're usually available for ~£20 on ebay. Keyboards/mice etc work fine with it. You have 3x USB ports, HDMI out and stereo headphone out (and I believe the audio over HDMI is capable of 5.1).
The one thing I can't get to work is an Xbox 360 controller (preferred over the PS3 controller I have because I'd rather wired than bluetooth). Works ok with my old S3, but the Note doesn't register it when connected. I don't know if that's a ROM/Kernel issue though, as the S3 ROM/Kernel I use has a module to enable XBox controllers.
