Here is my goal: We purchased the gameklip for our phones, and I want to run emulators, and play some games with the video streaming to our mitsubishi 82" 82742 tv. (We'll also do various video mirroring to the tv, for things like ebook/ecomic reading, android based games, or other apps.)
Plans are to use the wireless version of the gameklip so the hdmi port is freed up for hdmi out/charging, so I'm looking to buy an hdmi out adapter/cable for our S3 1535 phones, but every product advert I see for them lists the 9300, not the 1535.
What are the difference between the phones, and should I be looking for something specific to the 1535? (I couldn't find any online comparisons between the verizon 1535 and the 9300.)
It looks like the hdmi adapters can be had for about $10 shipped on ebay or amazon.
We were running our old droidx phone's hdmi out to the tv before our new phones. It looks like the old droidx hdmi cable has a micro hdmi port for the phone, and the S3 adapters give you a full sized hdmi out.
I think I need the latest jellybean leak, the 9300 hdmi adapter, and a new 12' hdmi cable, or do those adapters also have a micro hdmi on them as well?
Also it sounds like to use the home theater, I'll also need to add a audio cable to plug into the home theater (or does the s3 hdmi out also pass through audio to the tv speakers? using the tv speakers would be fine.) Worse case I can use my bt stereo headset, but audio coming from the tv or home theater would be nice.
(Sorry for all the questions, but we are still on a learning curve coming from the DX.)
You want a 9305 quad core with 2gig of ram. i535 is only a dual core and the 9300 only has 1gig of ram.

I think you misunderstood my question. We already have the Verizon Galaxy S3 phones. we are looking to what we need to hook them up properly to our bigscreen tv to mirror video/audio out.
I'd Say go to Verizon buy an mhl adapter around$40 don't buy the cheap ones doesn't work well . it
allows you to mirror, games and all

Mhl is a service key piece that let's mhl compatible tvs to control the device remotely with the channel changer. Since most hdmi tvs don't have this (mhl) they make an adapter for basic hdmi out usage since it is different protocols.

I can confirm that the Samsung HDMI adapter that is specific for the S3 works for the I-535.
$20 on Amazon.

Thanks for the info, and relocating this to the proper location, Mod.
I also looked into wirelessly sending video/audio via the samsung allshare dongle for our tv, but it sounds like it still does not receive 1080p, and some people have all sorts of connect/frame dropout issues with that.
It sounds like the newest jellybean leaks improve the situation, but spending $80 hoping it gets resolved doesn't sound very practical to me.
I think we'll go with the mhl adapter. I checked my droidx cable, and it does have a full sized at one end, and a micro hdmi at the other end. 8(
Is monoprice still the best place for low prices on hi speed hdmi cables? I'll need a 12 footer to stretch from the couch to the phone.
I've heard good things about Monoprice, but haven't used them personally.

Holy crap are they expensive! $10.50 plus shipping for a 1 foot long cable? Are they smoking crack?
I purchased 3 6 foot long hi speed hdmi cables off ebay just a few weeks ago for less than $10 shipped.
I haven't seen any validation for premium expensive hdmi cables anywhere... every time you read reviews, unless you are running extremely long distances (20 feet or more) everyone says all hi speed rated cables are pretty much the same regardless of price.

I might have looked at the wrong cables then. Thanks for that info again!
I have a feeling we'll just go with the hdmi adapter and the cable.. it sounds like the samsung allshare dongle just is not ready for prime time yet.
Hi
I bought a cheap Chinese USB charger cable for my N4 and I feel like it doesn't charge as well as the original... (although I use the same AC power)
Could it be ? or is it just me ?
It's the cheap cabling, I have the same issue with cheap 3 metre cabling I bought on eBay.

So you paid less than usual for something and now it's performance is worse than usual. What a shocker.

@SMillerNL = You should see the annual report of some of the big western companies to figure that most of their profits comes from people like you
get a proper usb cable, i got a cheap Chinese one and the usb split on one side and the connection to the phone was too short so i had to cut some of the insulation off.

It's not that I don't buy cheap stuff, it's that I don't expect it to have the same quality.

Can anyone advise which cable to buy, if someone had experience with any particular cable?
It's not that I don't wanna pay, or that I look for cheap one.. but still there are some limits
Just looking for good one. Friend bought few cables, they were so stiff I was afraid they will break if you wiggle them, and micro usb port was also hard to inject into phone..was afraid to break micro usb port..
Was looking on LG web, couldn't find it for buy..
So, looking if someone have experience with some particular cable. TnX
Best cables I have ever used. Very high quality, they feel very much like (dare I say it), Apple cables with the hard shell.

I use the monoprice premium cables too. Had it for a couple months and no breaks yet. And life time warranty. Better than the amazon basic cables.
Ah yes, already checked monoprice, looks like good quality cables, but problem is that they don't ship to my country
And even if they did, I checked country next to mine, price would be ~20$, so..
TnX anyway
Try amazon. I bought mine through there.
Have you thought about wireless chargers? Fry's usually has those for about $20, and they come with a USB cord.

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
so, i'm seeing some posts about the wrong kind of USB-C cable frying devices. three questions.
1 can anyone recommend a good USB-C to A cable for data? my computer doesn't have c, and i want to be able to access adb and root and all that jazz.
2 are there any cables that allow charging safely? i hate proprietary chargers, and the one they provided is way to short. Answered
3 i see everyone ordering from amazon, but I live down the street from best buy. i'd rather just go buy one now. i don't want to go ask an empoyee because they may not know which cables work, so i'm asking here in case anyone has bought one from a big box store.
More than likely the only one you'll find at Best Buy is the Apple branded one, which works just fine but is over priced.
The only other USB C cables I've seen there have been various adapters.
I have a "j5create" brand USB A Host adapter from there that works just fine. Only reason is that I used to have an employee discount, otherwise almost every accesorry at that store is overpriced.

Play it safe and don't spend a lot of money. I recommend this USB A to C cable from Belkin F2CU032BT06, comes in various colors and it is USB-IF certified..
Best Buy has them for $20 but can be bought for about $10 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belkin-MIXIT...W/322397095951
I saw the 45 dollar one google says and said no, is there a cheaper, good one? its been months! if not, can I break out the solder and make one myself? where can I buy the realtek chips?
If you need anything from Google (the shipping will probably be as much as the cable otherwise), try one of the $5 there. Even if it doesn't work at all (and from what I've seen, 3rd party accessories like that work as well as the factory ones) you only lose a few bucks, and have a C connector, an earphone jack and cable (and whatever may or may not be inside them). (Or there are a load of them on eBay for under a buck if you're willing to wait a month for shipping - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...15&_nkw=usb+c+earphone+adapter&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1 )
On second reading, the Pixel 2 only seems to implement digital audio, and most of the cheap devices assume analog audio, so probably not - you have to ask each vendor. The digital ones (with the DAC inside) seem to be cheaper than Google, but it's still a wait for China Post (https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-C-Digi...936141?hash=item48a1f6914d:g:RucAAOSwL4BZsKvr ).
What Gido5731 fails to make clear yet again is that he is looking for an adapter that can charge via USB-C while outputting music.
Ahh. Cheaper? I think the only one available at the moment is the Moshi - $44.95 is the best (and only) price I've seen. I expect that we'll see some Chinese knockoffs in the future (at much reduced prices) - after all, the P2 is going to be current for at least 3 years, and a lot of people will keep them for another 2 or 3 years after that, so anyone making a dongle will have customers for a long time.

That sucks, I really am pretty sure I could do it cheaper by mutilating a 10 dollar one, but oh well...
You could probably add a DAC chip to a $6 one.
Then again ... I was looking for the chip itself (I bookmarked it, but I deleted that bookmark) and I found this one on Amazon for only $17.80. Not $10, but not $45 either. Pixel 2 and 2 XL are specifically listed. (Yeah, I know, it should work with any device with digital output to the C connector.)

Maybe this but cost 48... (woops i cant put because im a new user , the adapter dodocool Hi-Res Headphone Adapter Type-C USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Jack Adapter)
Sure that this adapter has better audio output than any that comes in a smartphone, obviously costs 48 dollars but it is to give a high jump in quality.

Couldnt I just solder a new USBC head onto that one and get the same thing?
I don't know - could you? Can you trace the cable out to the DAC to know what goes where? If you could, you probably can.

You can put a DAC but the problem is compatibility with pixel 2, because not all of them work in pixel 2
I got some more dongles, going to try to add a second usbc to one of them soon
