I've been looking all over internet for an adapter. In my work car (four different cars) I have a charger mounted for Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100), and I was wondering if I can use that same charger for my new Note 8.0?
So the adapter would have to be Samsung 30pin female to microUSB male.
I'm beginning to think that kind of adapter doesn't exist.
Any help from someone in here?

The note8.0 (official release then and no fake Chinese model) only got a micro usb connector to charge. There is no 30pin connector on the Note8.0.

Yes I can see there's only microUSB connetor available. That is just the reason why I need an adapter between galaxy note 8.0 and 30pin charger.

Hi all,
Has anybody got any of these? I have my old diamond 2 htc car charger and would like to be able to use it on the desire via an adapter. I understand most adapters only support charging?
Please post your experiences with any you have tried.
Thank you
The adapters shouldn't be a problem. They should have a full set of pins. Some cables only have the pins that are used for power.
BTW - someone is likely to ask why you are syncing your handset with your car cigarette lighter

i've bought some mini to micro usb adapters and they are great for charnging and sync as well. they are made in germany, delock is the manufacturer.
Have a look at my post in, "Not a Standard Micro USB power cable"
There is an adapter available from CPC in Preston (Mail order available, but don't know how much they charge) and also a couple of USB -> Micro USB leads available from them.
Also available, from Maplin is a 'micro' cigarette lighter to USB Adaptor to plug into your car which is quite a bit smaller and sleeker-looking than the one I currently use. For £5.99 it seems a reasonable deal.

i sincerely had to laugh at that comment
Has anyone bought a Micro USB to HDMI cable for their HOX? If so is there anything I specifically need to look for or will any cable work?
I believe you need an MHL adapter.
Correct, MHL adapter.
I'm using the cheap one from Monoprice ( http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2 ) which works great for me.
Hey guys u was wondering about getting a MHL 2.0 adapter. I mistakenly ordered one from amazon that doesn't work(apparently Samsung uses a different pin arrangement?)
Will any GS3 mhl adapter work but still need an auxiliary charging port? Or is there a specific MHL 2 adapter that I will need?

The Galaxy S3 and Note 2 MHL adapter works. It will not charge your phone while it works, but it works. To charge your phone at the same time, you have to attach the charger to the MHL adapter.
The MHL adapter for the S2 will not work with the S3 or S4 unless you get the 5 pin to 11 pin connector.
The S4 MHL adapter (which is twice the price of the S3 one) will charge your phone when connected to the TV without an additional adapter. It also has a higher refresh rate (60) vs the S3's MHL adapter (24).
The S4 MHL adapter is also backwards compatible, but still needs a charger attached to it to charge your phone at the same time.
It all depends on your needs and your willingness to pay.
Hello!
I just bought an MHL Cable for my GS5 (DeLOCK 83296) and I plugged it into the MHL port of my Toshiba Smart TV: apart from start charging the phone, nothing happens.
I also tried plugging the cable to my Note Pro 12.2 tablet, but the result is the same.
I tried plugging the cable to other standard HDMI ports, no signal.
Is there anything I have to do to make this work? Is the cable faulty? Could MHL version be a problem?
Thanks for your help!

That MHL cable uses 5 pin MHL. The S3 and newer Galaxy phones use 11 pin MHL cables. You need either a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter, or a different MHL cable.
Ouch!! Could you please mention a cable that is ok for S5?
Thank you!
I've tried this one Aibocn 3321355, but any cable that says it works with the S3/S4/S5 or that has a 11 pin adapter should work.
Isn't it possibile to have only an HDMI connection on the TV side? Is the USB plug mandatory?
As I sadi, my TV has a powered MHL port...
I bought one of these merely for fun and due to cost.
Works perfectly with both S4 and S5.
Plug into hdmi of tv, usb into a plug and other end to phone, comes on soon as power the usb plug.

Looks like if you get a MHL 2.0 or 3.0 adapter, you won't have to connect the adapter to another power source.
The MHL cable has a 5 pin connection, standard on all other phones. You will find the S5 is 11pin so you will need an adaptor 5-11 pin. Easily found on eBay, $2.00
Hope this helps.

I went to frys in Dallas and bought a Sumaclife.tm. 11 pin micro USB to HDMI $7.00 works great
Buy it on line Frys.com :laugh:
gs5 not working with mhl cable
only thing that happenes when i plug the cable into the phone is my phone starts to charge and funny thing is my mhl cable is an 11 pin cable n its not working with my samsung galaxy s3, s5, and my tab 3. somebody please help
I have the same problem, mhl converter with 5 to 11 pin adapter & doesn't work on s5 and note 4
Have a Solution?
I can't find a working MHL adapter for my T-Mobile Note 4. The problem: the 11-pin plug does not snap into the phone like the 5-pin plug does, so it does not stay in the phone. Even if I hold it in, the screen is not mirrored. I noticed that the 11-pin plugs are longer, and the two prongs that allow the plug to be snapped in are too far back.

These are the two that I tried which didn't work:
BelindaSupports UHD 4K MHL CABLE MHL 3.0 to HDMI Adapter for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Amazon)
Aibocn MHL Kit Universal MHL Micro USB to HDMI Cable 6.5 Feet/2M 1080P HDTV Adapter for Samsung Galaxy S5 S4 S3 Note 3 (N5100 N9000 N9006) Note 8.0 HTC LG and More MHL-enabled Phones (Amazon)
In both cases, the phone charger was plugged into the adapter, and I rebooted the phone while the adapter was held into the phone.
Can anyone recommend one? I would prefer not to buy the official Samsung adapter as those are expensive. Thanks!

I bought one online and has exact same problem. They suck. I ended up buying a better one at Best Buy. It worked good. Don't recall the brand though.
I bought a ScreenBeam Mini2. It works great. Connects in seconds through stock Smart View on MagMaNX ROM 2.0.1. Only complaints: Weak range -- phone has to be right by the dongle. Also, phone screen has to stay on for video (but can turn off for music), so I always feel like I'm overworking the display (and it can be a bit distracting if the phone's in sight). But I'm satisfied with it. After all, it works.
More than I can say for the Accell 10-Foot MHL Adapter. Supposed to work for N4, plugs in fine, lights up when powered, but won't mirror. Looks like another dud product. (Or maybe I need a pin adapter? Really wanted this one to work.)
I have had success with these MHL 11 pin to HDMI adapters on my Note 4 910V, and all samsung phones that support 11 pin MHL.

If you don't have a frys near you, they will ship it to you. Since I have two in my area, I usually wait for a sale when they are around $7 and buy a few for friends and relatives.
I just use my note 3 dock which has the mhl built in and the extra usb ports so I can charge the spare battery at the same time
Thanks everyone for the info. I got my hands on a Note 3, and the adapter that I have fits perfectly, and snaps all the way in. On my note 4, the usb port is not deep enough to allow the adapter to snap in, so it won't work no matter what I try. So, it looks like my Note 4 is not able to use an 11-pin MHL adapter, even though the specs for the phone say it is compatible. I wonder if it is because it's a T-Mobile variant?
it's obvious that note 4 doesnt have 11pin micro USB port. For the note 4 you should get the 5 pin micro usb MHL jack.
