Hello All,
Search quite a few threads on xda as well as internet but unfortunately nobody have been facing issue similar to mine.
Okay, let me put it in brief. I bought an original samsung mhl adapter for galaxy s2 from ebay which presumable works well with samsung galaxy note too (haven't seen any MHL Adapter specifically for galaxy note) as heard on forums and web. It did not work. So, i got back to the vendor and he replaced it to me with another MHL Adapter. That too did not work. I got a refund as the vendor was good.
I still somehow wanted the MHL to work so went to a different vendor, known for good products (i.e. flipkart) and purchased another MHL adapter after confirming with the executives that yes it would work with galaxy note. It too isnt working.
In both the cases, the phone gets charged but there are no such notifications (notifications such as USB Host Cable Connected, or Keyboard Connected or MHL Connected etc). I have a working HDMI 1.4 cable (tested and verified), and yes, i am aware that external power is required to the MHL Adapter. .
Now, every other functionality on my phone is working well, like USB Host Mode, bluetooth/usb keyboards and bluetooth/usb mouse, data sync via usb etc etc, its only the MHL adapter which is giving me an issue constantly. Can the micro usb port on my Note be faulty ? I dont think as every other options are working fine.
I have tried all the three MHL Adapters (2 from the 1st vendor and 1 from the second) after i upgraded my phone to ICS. Are any other users facing the same issue ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Apparently, there are problems with MHL support on ICS.

MHL adapter regarding....
hi guys,
i am also facing the same problem with MHL adapter. i tried to connect my galaxy note n7000 to sony bravia 3d tv via MHL but failed to do so. whenever i connect MHL to HDMI Cable to tv and to phone nothing happened and not even my phone or tv show any sign of connection or any notification regarding that. my phone not even show the battery charging sign. i also used 3d HDMI cable for the connection but nothing came out.... and when the vender (from whom i purchased the MHL) gave me the demo the same MHL was working fine with his HDMI cable and tv but the cable and tv he used were not 3D whereas i have a 3D tv. i dont understand why i am not able to connect the MHL adapter using 3D HDMI cable to my Sony Bravia 40HX750 3D tv with my Galaxy Note n7000. still struggling with that.... any reply in this regard will be appreciated.... thanx.
I checked the USB port and found it's exactly same as my Note 2, so I suspect MHL 11 pin adapter will work with Note 8.0.
Has anybody tried yet?

My S3 adaptor works. I tried it out the other day. I assume that is the same adaptor for the Note 2.

yes it does work, had it hooked to the tv this morning
Queries on connecting to a Projector
I too had a similar question, well now at least I know which adaptor to buy!
I am planning to buy the N5100 as soon as it is available(a couple of weeks in India).
I need to hook it up to a Projector so that it can mirror the Screen. Now a few questions:
The Projector only has VGA or RCA inputs. Would an HDMI to VGA converter have any problems with this setup? Would buy from eBay
The Projector has a native resolution of 800x600(SVGA). Which resolution does the Note 8.0 output at? Is it adjustable?(because I don't need 1080p)
Is the output stream from the Tablet exactly the same as that on the Tablet screen itself, or are some elements left out? If yes, which ones?

I bought a cheap one for 10 dollars and it worked pretty well.
Try rebooting the note after plugging it in, some people have had such problem.

Is this an original adaptor from Samsung Or a Chinese compatible one?
MHL devices are compatible with all HDMI Inputs,The special compatible TV's can also power the adaptor eliminating the travel charger.
Try other HDMI inputs, if possible, other adapters or on other devices like some friend's s3

Its original Samsung for galaxy S3.
May be I will get it checked with samsung service center.
Make sure you use the note8 power supply to drive the hdmi adapter, my samsung mhl doesn't work with note8 when I use a lower power supply.
Thanks. Maybe that's why my MHL adapter didn't work the other day when I was using my other charger.

Confused
Could anyone let me know which should and should not work with the 8.

Won't work
I'm on my second HDMI adapter and I still cannot get my Note 8 working.
Am I supposed to change a device setting ot something.
Attached are the items I purchased.
Any ideas?
In an earlier post it was mentioned you must use the power supply from the 8.0. Are you doing that?
I just tested the one for my s3 and it works fine on my 8.0

No luck for me either and yes I am using the power supply that came with the note. The same adapter works with my S4. It uses an adapter to make it 11 pin. Between the very weak infrared remote and now this not sure I will be keeping this thing

Yes, I actually tried 3 different chargers, that's why I thought there must be a setting. I wonder if the type of HDMI cable is important ?
I didn't do anything special just plugged it in. Have you tried different TVs or different ports? Also do you get any reaction at all from the tv?
I bought mine from mono price for about 10 or 15 bucks.

Dang!
Why? Just tried my HML-adapter bought and working with the Samsung Note N7000 phone (the first Note phablet) but I can't get to work with the Samsung Note8 N5110 tablet.
The Note8 is signaling that it "got it in" and charging the battery but no picture on the TV.
The Note N7000 on the other hand, automatically sending the picture to the same TV, that Note8 fails.
Is there something that has to be changed in the settings on the Note8?
Edit:
Seems like XDA member davp already had the answer for my question.
The SonyEricsson X10 Mini power adapter gave 0,5mAh while the Note 8s gives 2mAh ...Trying the Note8 adapter now.
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?

maybe this will help.

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.
Hi everyone,
i would like to ask with which adapter i can use a hdmi cable to connect my 8.4 LTE to a TV. I searched for a tab s device on amazon but every adapter i found were for galaxy s4 and i couldn't be sure if they worked with tab s 8.4.
Thanks for your help!!!

I'm using the Onn brand sold at Wal-Mart. I haven't had an issue with it at all. I got mine at a local goodwill. It comes with the main adapter and an adapter for Samsung devices. It also can charge the device at the same time.
I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-t2801885
Seems like the HDMI adapter situation is a total mess. The MHL standard is a joke, because apparently no one bloody follows it correctly.
Unfortunately i live in Europe. So i can not go to Walmart and grab it.
And yes it is really messed up I can not be sure if the product i wanna buy is gonna be compatible.
Any MHL3 works.
Is there an MHL adapter that will work without needing to be plugged in to a power source? I just bought one off Amazon, but it certainly didn't work without being plugged in to power....
Are MHL adapters working on the S6? If so which one do you use?
Thanks! :good:
The S6 doesn't support MHL

That's unfortunate. Thanks for the reply!
I think S6 does support MHL, there's an official adapter for MHL 3.0 to HDMI: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S...-EE-HN910FWEGWW-For-Note-4-Edge-/171568755421 .

Just because someone put one on ebay doesn't mean it works. I've tried that one and it doesn't work with the S6
My MHL adapter (white one that was released after S4) doesnt even fit into the S6 micro usb plug.
MHL S6
I can also confirm that MHL does not work on the S6.....
Samsung really stripped this phone from allot of features....
