Best way To steam media from S3 to TV? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , What is the best way to stream media from the s3 to my TV (dont have dlna)
Thanks!

Hdmi? You should be able to purchase a MHL adapter, then connect a hdmi cable to the tv if you've got a hdmi compatible tv.

Buy a media player that does support DLNA...

All Share Dongle will do the job?

Depends what you want to stream if it's HD videos can the dongle provide sufficient playback compared to a wired connection?
I don't think it should be a problem my HTC media link can playback HD videos from YouTube and such from my One X. I think the dongle should be similar.

Yes,
But keep in mind a DLNA mediaplayer is not that expensive, aftermarket mobile gadgets usually are...

do remember that the S3 requires special 11-pin MHL connection. galaxy s3/note or other previous samsung MHL cable will not work with the S3. the S3 requires a 11-pin MHL cable to connect to HDTV - other MHL cables are 5-pin.
but Samsung does have a small ($10 approx.) adapter where you can plug it between the S3 and other ordinary MHL cable to make the cable work.
the Samsung Galaxy S3 MHL cable is approx $40. The MHL 11-pin adapter is approx $10.

Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy S II will use a 3.5mm to RCA TV out cable like you could on the original Galaxy S?

Hi, tried one of those cable at work (used for the SGS), but didnt worked.
Guess the 3.5mm jack is for audio only. Not sure, just my guess...
A quick google dearch gave me some link, from xda developers site :

Hope it help
ok probably doesn't then, thanks
The SGS2 is one of the first devices to implement the MHL standard. Basically, it repurposes the microUSB connector to provide digital HD video/audio output. This output is translated to HDMI through an external adapter, allowing you to view the SGS2's output on currently available TVs.
With the recently available MHL-to-HDMI adapter, you plug a charger into the adapter (the adapter pulls a little power from the charger, sending the rest to the SGS2), the adapter into the SGS2, and run a HDMI cable from the adapter to an external display (HDTV, monitor, etc.).

I have HDMI Connection TV....I think all I need is HDMI-HDMI cable..How much will it be? and will there be different types of HDMI-HDMI cable or all will be same?
A cheap calbe is all you need. Don't be fooled by some sales person trying to flog you an expensive gold plated cable. The signal is digital, either the tv gets a perfect signal or it gets nothing. So a cheap cable is all you need.
If it were an analogue signal, then high quality cables are required for high end equipment.
if you would like use it for watching video or playing game on old TV doesn’t have HDMI port. Thanks to it supports most of video formats(Samsung Galaxy S supporting video/Audio formats), you can enjoy video on larger screen in right a way.it has a TV feature as Omnia II does. While it is not HDMI like Evo 4G, it is decent feature.

[Q] how to enable minijack video on S2?

Hallo, is there any way (custom rom/kernel)
to enable the analog video out from minijack?
maybe the drivers of GalaxyS ported to S2?
thank you
No, there is no video output from that port.
Just buy the hml adapter and HDMI cable. I bought both for $15 delivered off eBay.

? Why do you need MHL + analog adapter? Audio will go out through the MHL to whatever you connect via HDMI. If you're connecting to a monitor that doesn't have output speakers, I think you can plug audio (like headphones) directly into the earphone jack of the phone. You shouldn't need both.
My phone outputs audio just fine to my TV via the MHL adapter. I've tested playing FF3 via SNesoid, and FF7 via FPSe, with video/audio to my TV, using a PS3 controller.
I mean hdmi to vga/composite
not all monitors/TVs have hdmi

I hate to break it to you, but that's not going to work without additional, expensive hardware (DAC).

Indeed. You will need what oinkylicious is saying - a Digital to Analog Converter, or DAC. HDMI is a digital signal. VGA/Composite is analog.
MHL, which is the standard used on the phone, is also a digital signal. The official MHL adapter from Samsung is built to go directly to HDMI - digital to digital.
thanks, probably I will just forget the tv-out
I'm not trying to presume, but how do you have a phone that costs at minimum $600, but DON'T have a TV that has an HDMI input? That boggles my mind.
I don't want the phone for my tv, I have the pc connected to it
I wanted the phone as a portable media player when I go to friends
as I did with iphone

How did it happen with an iPhone? You had to have cables/adapters for that, right? Or do your friends have the adapter?
Just about every TV made in the last 3 years or so has an HDMI input, so this issue is just confusing me now.

Any of the accessories that use Samsung's 30-pin connector (like on the original Tab, and every single Tab since then) will work. There is no HDMI adapter specific to any particular moel (the 7.7 included) so they'll all work with each other. I got mine off of Amazon.
P.S. It's awesome.
The problem is that it requires external power to attach to this adapter.
This is a deal breaker for me.
I am still in search of a single HDMI adapter without the need for a power supply. I need things to be minimal.
My Playbook can connect straight to the 1080p TV and can output 1080p signal to the TV using a single simple HDMI cable. Even though the 7.7 uses a propriety 30-pin cable, I hope that some company/or Samsung, can create a simple HDMI cable to watch 1080p movies on a TV.

AFAIK, at this point, no such thing exists. Honestly though, the external power requirement isn't as bad as you might think, especially if your TV has a USB port (which, most do nowadays).
Connecting to non HD TV
I purchased the Samsung TV Out Cable Model:ECCI TP0BBECSTD, Ver. 6.0 to connect to a non HD TV but nothing appears on the screen, I tried it on all the AV channels to no avail, I tried it on another TV, still no joy. I purchased my Galaxy Tab from Hong Kong and wondered if this has any thing to do with my connection problem. I have the Samsung HDMI cable any it works fine. I would be very grateful for any advice on this matter. Thank you.

It's cheaper on Amazon.
Would someone be able to confirm if MHL is supported on the 7.7 through the micro usb socket as well as the 30 pin connector? I cant seem to find a definitive answer.
Cheers in advance!

What micro USB socket where? No, the 7.7 doesn't support MHL...
Oh my bad, assumed it had one for some reason! Thanks
So will a 30-pin to micro USB adapter which then connects to the micro USB to hdmi adapter work???
Also is the original 7" dock working fine???
Yes, the original Tab 7.0 Station works fine.

Could someone tell me, which pins are used on MHL 30pin connector? I connected galaxy S2 MHL adapter to 1,7,17,18,19 pins, but it's not working.

MHL adaptor

I just bought a cheap MHL to HDMI adapter from ebay and it doesn't work with the tab. Question are these adapters specific to the devices are any adapter should work. Thanks
I also want to know that one!

Are you running a stock ROM? If you're running CM that's where your problem will be, CM doesn't have HDMI support on any device.
If you're running stock and a generic MHL to HDMI adapter doesn't work then Sony may have a proprietary adapter that you have to use like with Samsung devices.
Please post a link to the one you bought.
