Hi everyone, the original samsung tv out mhl for galaxy s3 it's compatible with S4?
According to this the s3 has MHL 1.0 whereas the s4 has MHL 2.0.
Here is some knock off on amazon selling for $11:
Anyone want to pull the trigger on the knock off?

S4 is compatible MHL 2 does it mean it is not backward compatible !? I think you are making a wild guess that might or might not be proven right.
I have my s3 MHL that I will try with my s4 and will report with concrete results maybe tomorrow if I find time for it.

MHL 2 is backwards compatible with 1, though sounds like you need the additional m-usb power cable.
The description from the knock off on amazon states otherwise, which makes me all the more leery from buying the knock off. Wish monoprice would hurry up and release their version for s4 already.

so my galaxy s3 mhl dongle it's compatible with s4 I only add ext power? right?
Should be. As popular as this phone will be, you should expect to see less expensive ( non samsung branded) version come out. I wonder when mono price will release their new s4 cable
im personally gonna be buying it from verizon because i get a 25% discount and because i can just swap it out if it stops working (like the cheesy cables & cords u find on amazon)
Can confirm that my S3/Note 2 MHL adapter works with the S4 (Smart Dock does too for that matter).
I have a old knock off MHL adapter I got for my HTC EVO 3D that didn't seem to work with my GS4, apparently they have a different number of pins in the plug but an adapter is available, though probably better off just getting a new MHL that specifies for Samsung

The MHL port on the HTC One X is a real MHL port.
Now, you probably didn't think you had to worry about such a thing, but owners of the Galaxy SIII have discovered that it has a fake MHL port.
There's more about this here, but the main take away is that you should avoid Samsung branded MHL accessories.
In theory MHL is a standard, but now you won't know what you are getting if you buy a Samsung MHL accessory.
Hi, I bougth a MHL cable for my old Galaxy S2, and then doesn't work with my new S4, so... Anyone know any trick or modification on mhl to work with s4?
Thanks
That's because the old one only has 5 pins iirc, the newer mhl cable has 11. At least the s3/note2 cable has 11 and works on my s4.
Dont think it's moddable.

Search this forum or search google.
Galaxy S3 and S4 use MHL 2.0 which isn't backwards compatible. You need a new dongle.

You can get one of these adapters and it will work just fine with your old cable.

I had bought one to use for my S3 when I got rid of the S2 but didn't want to buy a whole new cable....and it works with the S4 as well.

Hi, is it possible to use a cable like that? http://www.everychina.com/f-z51ede7e/p-91338529/showimage.html
Where can be buyed? other web ... of course.
If it works, may select between dual mode or extended mode?
In dual mode, may i turn off the screen's tablet and works only with the hdmi output?
hdmi adapter with more
Anyone have an Idea if this would work ---

This item can be connected MHL Phone or Tablet to HDTV. One cable and two usages. If you wanna get one for your note 8.0, you can search it at ebay.com or amazon.com with keyword "mhl cable for samsung Note 8.0".
Make sure it is compatible with Samsung devices. MHL adapters that worked with HTC devices are not compatible with Samsung devices.

If I were you I wouldn't trust the price !!!
I'am sure they'll send you either a fake (which is not as performant as the real deal !!!) or worse an old mhl (the S3's for example which may also be a fake)
That being said, if you have the spare money to give it a try feel freed to give us a feedback on the case you will fill in ^^
no it doesnt work just i tried on my note and it didnt work
I bought this one at BestBuy . A but pricey but it works. Don't want to risk on cheap ones not working so I got it.

Is anyone aware of this mhl product for the GN4? If so any insight or review would be appreciated. At less than $20 US it seems to be a better deal than the samsung product. There is also an install video on youtube.

netgear ptv 3000 works great with it. havent tried any others.
just make sure you get MHL 2.0
MHL 1.0 adaptors only do 1080p24, MHL 2.0 does 1080p60
if you want 4K you need MHL 3.0, but the 2.0 adaptors work just damn fine for me.

I'm not sure if they are still doing it; but when I registered my Galaxy S3, I received a 50% off promo code for anything $50 or less from Samsung's store. That made their $40.00 MHL adapter $19.99.

Official one http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA If you have the 50% off code still from registering your phone with Samsung, this would be something worth using it on
If you search on Amazon.com you can find other ones for under $20, search for a MHL adapter for the Note 4..... different phones need different adapters so I wouldnt get one unless it specifically said for the Note 4.... I know someone else will give more information than what I can, so give it a while here, maybe someone will find you a cheaper one yet.
I got mine from monoprice. Works with my Note 4, Note 3, S3 and HTC One M7. The smaller plug is an 11 pin to 5 pin adapter needed for Samsung devices. Not needed on the HTC One.
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=10021&seq=1&format=2
it's plenty out there.
Many people doesn't know that any MHL cable will work on our Note 4.
The older version of MHL will only needs a 4/5 pins to 11 pins adapter that costs less than USD 5
I actually using my old Smart Dock for Note 2 and it works with Note 4

If you have WiFi just get the chromecast it does the same plus more.. but if your stuck on getting a wired solution then ONLY purchase the one linked in the second post /the Above quote.
Like he stated above register your device with Samsung they WILL give you a50%off code on ALL ACCESSORIES through them. I've bought ones offline from dealers who has 10 THOUSAND+ sales with a 99% + satisfaction rating. I bought a mhl adapter from them and got it plugged it in and every so often it would drop out and go to snow on the screen. Come to find out it was a knock off being sold as a legit own. I returned it and got a refund. But the seller was stunned cause they had a huge shipment of worthless mhl knock offs.
So just buy it from Samsung the official one, it'll last used it on my note 2 and note 4 until I bought the chromecast. Both will do hdmi and surround sound. Not to mention the one that's compatible with the note 2 and 4 is also compatible with s3 s4 and other devices running usb2.0 from Samsung.
Don't buy the knock offs or imitations they don't transfer data at the same rate as the official one and audio quality isn't as good.
But honestly if you have WiFi in your place get the chromecast, you can mirror anything in your screen turn a movie on from the other side of the house and use your phone for other reasons.
Thanks a lot for the info just order one from Samsung. Not got wifi right now moving home
