HDMI link

Does anybody know if the dongle for HDMI that Amazon sells for the Galaxy 10.1 tab work with the Galaxy 7.0 plus? It plugs into the Samsung port, uses a power cord plug in and terminates in an HDMI for adding a HDMI cable between it and your Monitor. I see nothing for HDMI for the 7.0 plus and the specs say that it doesn't work with the old Galaxy 7.0. Definately need an HDMI adapter to stream videos to my big screen.

Yes, it should definitely works. Though don't know what kind of adapter Amazon sells, but original from Samsung works perfectly (all tabs except old 7).

Appreciate the response. Will order one tonight.

Keep in mind that you need to have the AC power adapter plugged in all the time into the HDMI cable or you'll get no signal. Kind of a stupid design that you can't use HDMI without also charging the tab at the same time. Unless someone has found an alternate HDMI cable that doesn't require power?

Got one the other day. Netflix is a bit wonky but ripped DVDs play great on our 42". Can also plug inta a monitor with hdmi for a great large screen experience.

Unfortunately, but that' s no big deal. All samsung tabs works only with power adapter plugged in (Note as well) through HDMI.

Hopefully works and you enjoy it..

Just an update. Recieved my HDMI adapter. There were 2 available on Amazon. 1 for 39.95 which touted the fact that it was genuine Samsung and the other one which was 27.95. I ordered the 27.95 one and it was a factory Samsung adapter. Only difference was the price. Followed the instructions to the letter as far as connection sequence and it works perfect. I downloaded the app "World Streaming TV (News)" from the market and I get CNN live, CNN international, Fox News, Real News, Discovery Channel, BBC, MSNBC and a host of others. Basicly all the channels I pay Dish for now.
Immediately canceled my Dish Network and I'm saving 57.00 a month now. This tablet just paid for itself. I'm using a 15 foot HDMI cable I got from amazon for 13.95 and there is no loss of signal with the extended run. I also got the extra long power charging cable for 6.97. No problems there either.
I'm very, very happy.
FYI, The best streaming TV I found was the above mentioned World Streaming TV (News) Edition. When you first get it, you must go into preferences and check the box for onboard browser. The browser that comes with the app just shows a white screen with audio. I have Opera and Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Browser works best with this app. It seems to smooth out the Buffering the more you use it. When I first started watching it would pause quite a bit. After a couple hours that stopped entirely and the stream was smooth as silk. I left it on from 8AM until 10PM to test it and never had a stutter or freeze. It just worked.
Hope this helps any other 7.0 plus owners who were sitting on the fence about streaming to large screen through the Tab Plus.
Just for reference, my Broadband connection runs at 7mb so it's not really that fast by comparison.

Thanks for this reference and info, will try it soon.

Connecting Infinity to HDTV...

I recently received an HDMI to Micro-HDMI cord, and was excited to test it on my 37" Panasonic.
I have tried every combination of turning on and off the TV/Tablet first etc...and it STILL will not show up on my TV. It's acting like there is nothing connected at all. No prompts.
So...what am I doing wrong? The cord I bought was 3 bucks on Amazon, so it may be a knock off or something. Buy a new cord? Any help is appreciated. Half the reason I bought this thing was to watch movies on my hdtv.

I would try to find another TV to test with... Maybe a display model in a retail store if you don't know anyone with a TV that you can test with?

My micro HDMI cord only worked on my LG when I first selected the input on my TV and then unplugged and plugged the HDMI cord back into the Infinity. Also make sure the cord is plugged ALL the way in.
When I played NetFlix on the tablet, the TV would display the video and sound, but the closed captioning stayed on the device.

I bought a Micro HDMI to HDMI cord on amazon for about 3 dollars also, it worked perfectly fine on my 42inch LCDTV Panasonic. All I had to do was connect it and change the input on the TV to the right HDMI and it worked fine. Although watching movies with subtitles didn't work so well as the subtitles was left at the tablet screen, and I couldn't turn the tablet screen off while watching movies on my TV.

when you plug in the HDMI cord, the TF700 should show some kind of "HDMI" noticifation, and will stay on when connected. If you're not seeing this, then you'll need to figure out if it's the cord or HDMI port on one of your devices. The TV, hook something else to it that used HDMI. The cord, try another cord. Monoprice has them cheap too; probably like $5 with shipping. If you're not seeing the HDMI notification after the cord, and you know they cord is good, it's your TF.

I have problems as well, tried to connect my tf700 to my samsung UE46ES8005 led tv but cant get it to work
On LG i have no problems at all, but the samsung refuses. Tried different cables to no avail.
I have sent a mail to samsung support 3 days ago but no answer.... hmm
//Mackis

same her it works on my monitor but i have Panasonic tv and it doesn't work tried a variety of cables and no go but tried on a Toshiba TV at parents and it works.i had the prime and it work just fine

Asus really needs to add some HDMI scaling options to the TF700 to allow it to work with more TV's - I'm assuming these issues are because the TF700 only seems to output at it's native resolution, which most devices don't seem to like... I'll do some testing with my Toshiba 1080p TV today, just to see what I can find out as well and report any findings that may be useful.

I've connected the TF700T to be Panasonic 55TV50 Plasmass HDTV and to a Vizio 16" LCD TV. No issues.

Connecting to 2 Vizio tvs and a Hitachi no problem.
Our 58 inch Samstung plasma only sees the tablet connection on HDMI 3 which is the recommended port for a monitor hook up from a pc.

There is a HDMI encryption called HDCP that basically makes it more annoying to use HDMI than it should. Some TV's do not have HDCP enabled. Since the Infinity FORCES HDCP chances are whats happening is the TV doesnt know what to do with the encrypted signal and the tablet doesnt want to play nice so the TV will work.
Unfortunate for you, im guessing your TV is not compatible. Sorry for the bad news mate.
There have also been problems with people trying to use HDMI - DVI adapters and connect into DVI monitors, since a lot of (older) DVI devices also dont support HDCP or sometimes the connector itself doesnt have the right connections to make HDCP work often it all just doesnt work properly. Maybe in time there will be a hack to disable HDCP, until then theres not much you can do.

Again pileot... HDCP has NOTHING to do with it. Find me a monitor/tv that does have HDMI that does not have hdcp enabled..... they don't exist anymore.
If it has HDMI... then chances are 99.999999% that you have an HDCP compliant monitor.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090922221218AAyrnYz
DVI will not work because the 5v signal that is needed for the monitor to recognize that something is connected to it-- is not sent with our tablets.
Seems this question is repeated as soon as it falls off the first page......

MHL Cable Discussion Thread

I wanted to make this a discussion thread for MHL cables. Currently, I have a Rocketfish MHL Cable and I love it. It doesn't have to be plugged into the wall via micro usb for it to work, unlike my ONN brand cable.
Other things I would like everyone to discuss, is quality and content. I love the quality of picture that mine displays, pretty sure it's 1080p, but how about other brands?
Now for content. Has anyone been successful in getting a MHL Cable to work with protected material? For example, when I hook mine up and try to watch NFL Mobile, it says "HDMI Is Not Supported". Is there a Rom that will work? Maybe an App to download? Xposed Framework module?
Also, speaking of nfl games, has anyone been successful in getting a Super Nintendo emulator working with hdmi and two controllers for playing multiplayer games?
Basically, let's discuss anything and everything MHL for HTC One M8!!!

I never put much thought into MHL, but came to this topic hoping to learn something. I found your cable on Amazon, and a lot of people are saying it doesn't work. Others are saying it does, but with an adapter. Together, the two add up to the cost of a Chromecast (which I have no experience with), so, what does an MHL cable do that Chromecast doesn't, aside from charging your phone, of course.

I'm hoping to learn something too. I'm going to buy a chrome cast tonight. I did some searching on the web and found out that I can use my HTC One M8 to screen mirror or mirrorcast to my TV. Someone out their has created an App that enables mirroring with any rooted device. Link is here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567717826
The guys over at Wal-Mart were nice enough to let my play and connect a chrome cast up to my phone. After downloading the file, I was able to watch NFL Mobile Network and Stream Twitch to a TV without any problems. There was a slight lag from what the phone showed, but nothing terrible as the sound and video synced up perfectly on the tv I was testing it out on.
I'm glad I got those two apps to stream to a TV. Not sure if an MHL Cable is going to offer anything more than a chrome cast. I'll see if I can tell a difference in quality or lag input. Thanks for bringing up the chrome cast. I know the HTC One M8 mirror option isn't supported yet, but with the phone being rooted and the extra app enabled, I can now stream anything and everything from my phone to my TV.

I haven't had any experience at all with MHL but do have a few thoughts about it vs Chromecast. I come from a long list of Motorola phones which all came with a dedicated HDMI port. If MHL is the same thing as HDMI, Chromecast is the way to go. At least for me. Since getting the ability to mirror on Chromecast, I really can't think of any advantage of using HDMI. There's a couple of really good advantages for using Chromecast though. Assuming MHL works the same way HDMI does, using it doesn't allow you to do anything with your device while mirroring on the TV. If you do something on the phone, the TV displays it. Also, the screen on your device has to remain on all the time. If you happen to use/stream Netflix or Youtube or some such thing, the screen never shuts off. However, if you use Chromecast for those types of things (or other apps that support it) you can still use the phone to play a game, browse the web or whatever it is you want to do. It has no effect on the movie you're playing. A big plus is you can also turn the screen off while streaming a movie or whatever. If you turn the screen off while streaming a 2 hour movie while using Chromecast, the battery drain is next to nothing compared to HDMI (again, assuming MHL is the same). If you mirror with Chromecast, then things are pretty much the same. The ability to turn the screen off or browse the web, etc.while streaming media is a huge advantage for Chromecast. At least, the way I use my phone, it is for me.
I apologize if my post is somewhat off topic but I figured since Chromecast came into the conversation and I do have experience with HDMI, I'd put my two cents worth in. Just my thoughts on the subject.

FWIW, this cable works on my phone.

Best MHL for HTCOne M8
Hello , I just purchased an MHL cable for my phone and it only works intermittently. You mentioned the rocketfish. Is it reliable and doesn't cut out?

I use one with my video head unit in my vehicle. I can mirror anything on my phone to it. I also have a MirrorLink device. All just different ways to skin a cat.

Does Note 10 have USBC to HDMI?

Has anyone tried this or found any method of getting a HDMI signal from it?
Thanks
Steve

I'm a bit clueless about that but I took the usb-c cable that I use from my laptop to my external monitor and plugged it in to my Note 10 to see if anything would happen. nothing....

Hi thanks for your reply. So you normally use a USB-C to HDMI cable for your laptop to monitor connection but it doesn't work with the Note 10?
Bummer....

Tried yesterday to connect Type-C to 3,5mm Headphone adapter just because i still had it from my Mix 3 and even that doesn't work

Gosh that's weird. At least it has a 3.5 mm jack.

I have a cheapy Anycast Wireless/HDMI dongle that worked with my Mi9. When I get home, I'll try it out with my monitor and report back.

Thanks for testing it. I'm still away, but will check the Anycast HDMI dongle later this week and report back.

Well I'm back now and have had a play, but can't get my AnyCast dongle to work. If I go into:
Setting/Connection & Sharing/Cast
and turn cast on, it scans for nearby devices but doesn't find any.
I've tried a few play store apps, including EZMira, but all say the device must not be rooted and mine is.
I did have it powered by the TV usb port, but also tried an external adaptor.
Has anyone got the AnyCast working with the Note 10?
Cheers
Steve

Next up was our new Amazon Firestick. The Note10 sees it, but won't connect to it.
Bummer

I tried the Amazon Firestick (V2/2019) today and it worked for some reason, but was intermittent. Eventually it magically worked, but full screen videos were choppy and sometimes the audio broke up. I notice that if I scrolled the screen, it was pretty laggy and once again, broke the audio up.
Then I changed the wifi on the Note 10 and Firestick from 2.4GHz to 5GHz and bob's yer uncle. Works fine with no delays, choppiness and audio is fine.
I've ordered another from fleabay as my wife gets upset when I plunder the TV for my projects. Can't think why....
I intend to use it with a PC monitor, so I'll be able to get the TV on it too. Life is good....

Well the fire stick arrived and it seems to work mostly fine. The old boot of a monitor I have doesn't have HDMI, so I used a HDMI->DVI adaptor which works.
The only issue is that the resolution is a little high and the monitor complains.
Is there any method of reducing the cast screen resolution that anyone knows?
Cheers

A71 5G no hdmi only with MHL adaptor

AH man what disappointment tried my USB C hub with HDMI and nothing quick google search and you need a MHL adaptor what a step back
do they even make USB C MHL adaptor adapters
takes me back to my note 3 - 4 days those adapter can't even keep phone charging while consuming power as far as I remember it was and issue back then they only charge in "USB charging" mode speed 500 ma or less
have they advance with USB C ??
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Other-Mobile-Devices/Samsung-Galaxy-A71-5g/td-p/1348322

I do see MHL to HDMI cables on Amazon. But I am not sure if any of them work. I am personally looking for one so I can use it in the car so my kids can watch what I mirror off my A71 5g.
If anyone comes across a cable that works, please let me know. TIA

You shouldn't be too surprised if you're looking for old technology and get flashbacks of your old devices, what do you expect? I remember cables was a thing on my S3..
Its 2020, not 2012, who uses wires when we can easily go wireless? Spend that money you're wanting to buy wires with on a cheap Chromecast if your TV doesn't already have it built in. You can get a used one for like under $10, $5 probably.. I can sell you my 1st gen CC, for $5 if you want..
Then look for the "cast" feature in settings and there you go. That let's you cast a video on your TV screen while you can be doing something totally different on your phone, like browsing the web or something. Now if you want to mirror your phone screen so the exact image appears on the TV, thats possible too..

This may not help the individual question, however, it may provide info for someone.
I have casted my Note 8 using a Chrome Cast and Roku. The Roku Ultra worked much better as there was no lag.
I also cast movies from my PC Windows 10 to my Smart TV via Web/Internet and that works great. Problem with Roku is that Roku does not support AVI format movies. So, I can play AVI movies from my Note 8 or PC to the TV.
