Hi Gurus,
1 Question, I have seen many post on HDMI cables to plus & it works but I have a question on RCA cables.
I understand that those ebay & amazon selling Galaxy tab P1000 RCA cable will not work, so I have thought about this & in case someone have tried,
If i get a Samsung Galaxy Tab USB Adapter
(SAMSUNG TO FEMALE USB ADAPTER CONNECTOR GALAXY TAB ) & connect to
3-RCA to USB ADAPTER which amounts is <$10 USD
Can this work on the TV if connected.
I 'll be cool if it works, we can play movies & stuffs...
thanks!
150 viewers & 0 takers? well, i have ordered the RCA cable..once arrived..we can tell...
No it absolutely won't work. RCA is analog SD video. USB is digital data. The cables are designed for very peculiar equipment that has the ability to output video that way, not generic USB equipment. Heck, not even normal USB video cards work on Android, and this isn't even that.
have got the RCA cable for galaxy P1000...it did not work for plus..but i can open up the connector & resolder the wiring based on the 30 pin schematic..
anyone know for RCA connection..what should the pin connection be for audio & video...if it works out..then we can have RCA cable which is cheaper & hdmi still have to get a cable for hdmi itself...& frame lag ...
audio works
I have a p1000 cable with RCA video audio out and USB connection the audio and charge works great but no video.tested on 10.1, 8.9, and 7+

It's still an analog cable. Unless you can get the tablet to push an analog video signal, this won't work.
but comparing tab plus & tab 7.0, tab 7 P1000 can work with RCA cable & schematically, they look the same...so is it the software which defers the plus from working? I have ordered the hdmi dock as well, but it be glad for everyone if we can make this happens...
if the P1000 can work RCA...
P6200 should too...
I understand that in P1000 there is this TV out settings,
can this "app" be exported to tab plus...?
Just an update to the above for anyone want to know about getting the tv connection to work:
bought the desktop dock from ebay/amazon (OEM) about 25 bucks & a cheap min hdmi cable to work.
1 thing to notice though, charging cable to tab plus must be plug in to work or no signal will generate.
Also when running tv shows from plus, streaming Tv will be slower than usual when connected to TV somehow...
When disconnected, streaming is normal, when connected, streaming is slower but will still get to show on TV connection.
Also, when running certain program in portait mode, tv still show landscape even though auto-rotating is enabled (or disable), tried both ways,
so it shows that it only support landscape mode.
not sure on HDTV adapater though...only experienced with desktop dock of galaxy tab 7.0 (this work for my plus 7.0)
Hi
Anybody got an MHL HDMI adapter for their 10.5 yet?
I bought one from Maplin (the only one they have), and was expecting it to plug and play, no such luck.
Before I try another one, just wondering if anyone has got one to recommend.
Cheers.
I bought the Samsung one and it works fine.

Great thanks.
On reading about this further, and for future reference, MHL micro USB adapters come in two standards - 5 pin and 11 pin. Galaxy Tab S takes 11 pin micro USB.

I noticed the S5 does not use standard HDMI cable...Is any available that will work with the phone?
This cable worked well for me - http://http://amzn.com/B00GE51T9Q
For some reason it received a bunch of negative ratings but I am satisfied with it. Its also super cheap but I'll warn you ahead of time, it takes weeks to receive since its coming from China.
Link doesnt work...?
Sorry about that. Try this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GE51T9Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
or just search Amazon for "niceeshop White 1080P Micro USB MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter AV TV Video Cable For Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300/ S4 i9500/HTC"
Do you need any sort of app to get the s5 to mirror to a tv? I bought this cable but I cant get it to work...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUCB65I/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1#customerReviews
Nvm got it working! Is there any way to change the resolution?
Resolution is automatically handled, no custom options. Your best control will be to choose the TV's display options and see which scales better.
Hdmi
I just bought a chromecast to get a workaround the hdmi cheap as chips these days
I didn't know that s5 needs a special hdmi cable.. I bought one that doesnt work.. Is there anyone i can do? What is the difference from the standard? Perhaps solder a cable or something?
Thanks,

You got a regular HDMI to HDMI? You need to purchase a micro USB to HDMI MHL adaptor. You will plug the adaptor into the phone and HDMI cable into the adaptor and television.

No. I got a microusb to hdmi adaptor but doesn't work.. When i connect s5 with tv, nothing happens.
I read above that s5 needs a special cable and not the regular (which i 99.9% have..)
So is there any way to make it work?
What special and different the cable that Samsung do?
Thanks,

Does it say it an MHL adaptor? I am looking at other forums and seeing people say that they are unable to get HDMI output to work with 4.4.4, what ROM are you using?

Yes it write mhl. Rom is 4.4 2 alliance rom.
Here is the cable:
http://www.e-shop.gr/startech-passive-micro-usb-to-hdmi-mhl-cable-3m-black-p-PER.813877
This is a photo of the cable:
Because it is a passive MHL cable, your display must be MHL enabled. The S5 is, so you need to look for your television model on this website
http://www.mhlconsortium.org/productlist/
If it isn't on the list, you need a different cable (or different TV which is much more expensive. )
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!
D
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.

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/02/05/mhl-adapter-samsung-galaxy-need/
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.
