Okay so I was looking at the official MHL adapter ( ebay china link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160936506934 ) and noticed the microUSB-in..
-Do you need to have a microUSB plugged in to use MHL to HDMI?
-Could I use, say a microUSB to USB and connect a keyboard/mouse/flash drive (like smart dock basically) in addition to HDMI out?
Thank you.

Hi, will the cable work with this phone or do I need some special cable with the MHL? Can somebody who got the phone already test it.
Thanks
Hello mate
I think it would of been appropriate if u posted this in the accessories section.
anyway to answer your question
i think the MHL cable is not available yet, Accoring to clove.co.uk, its available in june.
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-mhl-adaptor
I think the MHL is the standard, and u just need a cable that has micro usb on one side and hdmi on the other.
although the ones at clove has a block on it, i think this allows charging from a plug socket with a standard micro usb cable, becasue i think there are no MHL tvs available at the moment.
Some explanation that people may find handy in relation to MHL.
I just found a MHL cable for the SGS2 on Amazon with Micro-USB to HDMI.
I have a Samsung HDTV bought about a year ago. Now i know that MHL means you can charge as well as view the phone stuff on the screen but MHL TVs have not released yet (i think, and even if they have i wont be getting one anytime soon).
So my question is can i still see the TV out if i use the MHL cable on my older TV? I know it definitely wont charge.
Anyone?? :S
yes you can.
all you need is the adapter from MHL (micro-USB) to HDMI, connect the HDMI to the TV and you are good to go.
the advantage of the original samsung adapter is the ability to connect a power cable to the adaptor and charge the phone while it transmits the picture to the TV.
hope i helped
Thanks mate
For anyone confused, an MHL cable is a Micro USB to HDMI cable - no ifs, no buts, this will transmit HDMI from a compatible MHL port. Nothing else needed (except I believe it must also be connected to power)
Your micro USB port on the bottom of your SGS2 is an MHL/USB port, and will therefore work.
Important to note is that not all micro USB ports are also MHL ports, therefore will not necessarily work on some other micro USB port on a different phone.
has anyone tried using an mhl adapter for hdmi out from the jetstream? what about usb on-the-go?

I have a MHL for my samsung infuse, maybe i will give it a shot later... I am assuming there is some sort of support as the jetstream has a modified microusb connector. It can support a regular microusb cable but it also takes a cable with an extra 5th pin for something... must be some sort of other dock or cables coming out for it.
MHL does work. I used the "universal" MHL adapter that T-Mobile US stores sell and it worked once I plugged in a 1 amp phone charger. MHL adapters require micro USB power in, and I found that less than an amp didn't work. But the HTC Sensation and LG Thrill chargers did the trick. I have a video of it in action in our Jetstream review:
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tablets/HTC-Jetstream.htm
The device lists USB external storage under the storage applet. But I had no luck using a USB OTG cable (the Motorola Xoom optional cable). It didn't see flash drives, mice or keyboards. I've asked HTC PR about USB host, but it's taking a long time for them to get me an answer.
btw... the MHL adapter that came with my Samsung Infuse also worked with the Jetstream as long as i had the charger plugged into the MHL adapter, couldn't power itself on its own.

In preparation for getting my Verizon Galaxy S3, I have went through all the features I need for a phone, and realized that the most important one features is not documented anywhere. MobileFun's "Mobile Fun Connection Kit," has connects via MicroUSB and uses USB on the go to process attached USB devices on the USB port. Is it possible to use the MicroUSB in the adapter with Samsungs official MHL adapter, or Adapter Tip (Meaning I plugin the the Connection Kit via microUSB, then attach a device(Keyboard, mouse, etc.) via USB port, then use the connectors microUSB port to attach the MHL adapter, transmit the video signal to the TV, and then use the MHL's microUSB adapter to power the device)to the Connector. If not, (Do to bandwidth issues, or generally insanity of the question), are their any alternative implantation's I can use? Are their any other on-the-go adapter with MHL and a USB port?

Specifically, MHL through USB on-the-go, or the galaxy S3's proprietary MHL implantation prevents it from working?
how is possible to use in the same time
hdmi adaptor and usb adaptor for keyboard use?
.
PS for ppl who want's to try adaptor's like hdmi to dvi : i tested one adaptor buyed with 4pounds from ebay, and it works fine
