hi vevryone, i would like 2 know if there is a way to mirror my pc on galaxy s3 with MHL (that way i'll able 2 c my windows on my phone, like splashtop app, etc.)
Thanks in advance
Im not sure but it might work with a laptop, just connect it using hdmi to hdmi cable.
I would try this my self but i dont have the mhl adapter and i've got an s4 mini so i wouldn't be sure it'd work with the s3. GL :thumbup::thumbup:

I would like to use USB Thumb-Flash Drives like they are doing with the Nexus 7 with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It is the GT-P3113 using recent CM10 - Android 4.1.1. I have tried the USB connector as noted below to connect the tablet and with its OEM cord to a USB drive and does not work or recognize it. I have used other drives and have tried using Stickmount app. I have tried to search for specific info, found some post that the idea is possible but can't find any details how. I have seen a possible connector USB OTG but don't know the difference. Any details as to how would be much appreciated thanks.

You need a USB OTG cable (the gender changer may work, but im not sure it will enable host mode, the otg cable definitely does). You can get them for two pounds / dollars on ebay. I am using mine with a 32gb usb stick.

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

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.
Has anyone found a way to use both usb at the same time? Was hoping to find a multimedia dock along the lines of the one launched for the note 2. Anyone got suggestions?
Kinda keen on connecting the note to a tv and plug in en external hd / usb pen etc.
Thanks in advance!

I wanted to try this also. I DONT think its possible ATM. If you trying to watch movies or look at pics from the external storage devices, best bet might be to connect the tablet to TV through allcast wireless or DLNA.
My TV doesn't have wireless but I have a Samsung blueray player. I have internet connection plugged into it. So I can connect my tablet to blueray/TV through dlna connection. Works fine like that for me.
+1 wanting this kind of dock. Would be great
Shouldn't be that hard, considering that most other samsung tab/ note products have multimedia docks.
Been hoping to find a solution to the issue for a while.

What model Blu-ray Disc™ Player are you using?????
Best buy USA has a refurbished Samsung Blu-ray Disc™ Player (BD-E5300) that has AllShare for $39.00 free shipping. I was thinking about getting one as a don't have a Blu-ray and I would love to be able to use the Allshare with my Note 10.1.
Thanks for the tip.
Btw can you play games via all share ? And does the dongel need external power ?
Been looking at different workarounds on the usb and hdmi , thus far nothing that's quick and easy.

hey im goin to install my tab 2 7.0 into my car. and im going to be hooking my external hard up to it. do i need a special usb y cable to do it?
Yep, maar you will need an y-cable to supply power to your hard drive as the tab is not able to supply the juice the drive needs. I have used this configuration myself and it works like a charm.

Is it possible to use the hdmi out and connect a usb peripheral? I have a bunch of lapdocks laying around and it would be cool to be able to use them with this phone with a couple adapters.
Lack of replies make me think this isnt possible.
Yes. With the right mhl adaptor it is entirely possible.
As far as controlling them with the lapdocks.... No. We dont have the software needed. You should still be able to display to them though.

I think the mouse and keyboard on the lapdock is just usb. So as long as i can get it all wired right I think it should work. Any idea what the right MHL adapter is?
I wouldn't risk it tbh. You would have to splice and dice. If i remember correctly, the laptops are made for a dual connection, ie. HDMI and USB at the same time. I'm not sure that this phone is capable of that, seeing as the USB and mhl have to go into the same place.
I think I remember seeing someone trying this before and it failed.
Just about and HDMI adapter on amazon should work. The one I got years ago cost me maybe $8 with shipping.

Why is that relevant? This thread is in a Verizon HTC One M8 forum . . . And the M8 uses MHL.

sorry thought this was on the g2 q&a my bad
Using a Samsung micro USB - HDMI worked fine for me using the GPE rom. I was able to have my screen display on my TV with no issues. I was hoping to use this to stream FIOS Mobile to a Hotel TV. Unfortunately, when FIOS Mobile sees an HDMI connection, it won't stream
You do need to power this connection. If not, you'll get nothing. This is the cable I used...
So maybe my original post wasnt clear? I know we can get hdmi out of the usb port. What i wanted to know is if there is an adapter that allows you do hdmi out AND connect a usb mouse or keyboard at the same time. On the samsung s4 or s5 or one of them, there was a media dock that allowed this. Not sure if the hardware is here on the m8 to do something similar.
EDIT: This thing: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
I think samsung uses a proprietary 11pin mhl to do what im talking about. Pretty sure the m8 just has the normal mhl, 5 pin or whatever so this isnt possible. If anyone knows different let me know. I sure wish this phone had a dedicated micro hdmi port.
