Hi all,
Imagine: you come home from work, place your Galaxy S2 in your docking pad or station(or w/e its called), turn on the 23"+ monitor and start surfing the internet, listening to music, watching videos/movies - with your docked Galaxy S2 - as a 'PC'
Does such a device exist yet? The dock I'm asking for handles(or should) the following:
- the galaxy s2, charging while docked
- the hdmi monitor
- the usb2.0 keyboard + usb2.0 mouse
- 5.1 or 7.1 audio speakers system
- ethernet port (preffered)
or something similar to this - with the above list - for galaxy s2: http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/e2343fi - note the: "with built-in iPhone®/iPod® dock."
Sorry if this was asked before, I've searched but no match. Similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441993&highlight=docking+stand

You will never find a dock which allows HDMI and USB simultaneously. MHL simply doesn't work that way. Only one (either HDMI out, or USB) can be used at a time.
You'll need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to achieve this

something similar for galaxy s2? (or s3)
that one works for s3, but it seems the usb slots will not work, hardware limitation on phone?
whats the difference that note2 has and s3 doesnt have, that lets the usb work on note2 but not on s3?

Yes, I should have been more clear. 5 pin MHL on the i9100 does not support simultaneous USB & HDMI. This is a hardware limitation.
Note 2 and Galaxy S3 have 11 pin MHL.

going offtopic a bit, it seems the s3 11pin is not backwards compatible, so not really MHL, but proprietary(to sell s3 specific accesories), link: http://www.galaxymhl.com/ ... original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836822
back ontopic, could the samsung multimedia dock be used with s2?
PS: I hate that I'd have to purchase bluetooth kb+mouse just for that

There are many versions of "the samsung multimedia dock", for many models of Samsung phones. You'll need to be more specific.
And no external dock is going to change the fact that the i9100 has a 5-pin MHL connection, which still will not support simultaneous HDMI out and USB.
As for the off-topic, there are adapters you can get in order to plug an S3 into an existing 5-pin MHL adapter.
EDIT: here's one direct from Samsung.

Hi guys,
1) I bought Nokia USB OTG HOST cable like this, and it works very well
2) I also bought Samsung Galaxy S2 HDMI adapter like this,
to try on Sony Tablet S.
Unfortunatelly (as I thought) - its not working.
So anyone who thinks about buying one - don't buy it(for now).
Maybe someone knows if other adapter would work?
Maybe HDMI support via microUSB port could be added
in software, of course after we will get root?

I too would also like to know if this would be possible. If i root my Sony S tablet would that help,or there is a custom rom i could flash to my Sony Tablet to enable the use of a micro usb-to-HDMI cable for video/audio output to my 42"LCD TV. I only ask bcuz none of my TV's are wifi/DLNA capable & Id like to use the Sony tablet for streaming Netflix to my TV's. I recently upgraded to the Epic 4G Touch/Galaxy S II & i would rather use my tablet for streaming than my Galaxy S II. Thanks for any info
It would be pretty cool to play a nice graphics game on the Tablet S with it displaying on the 42 monitor!

Folks, this tablet does not have HDMI out. Even when it's possible to root it, that won't help.

Galaxy S2 doesnt have HDMI out, and work with adapter. How can you be so sure that its not possible?
Hi Condi,
While the Galaxy S2 doesn't have an HDMI socket like you'd have on your TV, it does have the electonics required to do HDMI over microUSB. Unfortunately the Sony doesn't have this because Sony decided to use DLNA instead, mainly because their TV's have this functionality.
I did quite a bit of research on this subject before buying this tablet and confirmed it with Sony UK.
Sadly it's pretty typical of Sony to build their gadgets to work best with their own devices. Another example of this practice is the proprietory power connector that means you have to use their £30 power adaptor, which is pretty pricey for a mobile power adaptor if you ask me. It also means there is currently no car charger for it, which is extremely annoying too.

Got the Tab 2 today and tested my dock stand from my Tab 1. I use it mainly for watching movies over HDMI.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. It charges but the HDMI function doesn't work. Pretty pissed of actually. It's an Samsung dock stand ans cost me $60. Can't believe Samsung changed something so it doesn't work.
Anyone know what Samsung changed?

Does it have audio out and does this work properly? If so I might buy to make an audio out cable.
There's a new tab 2 dock just out http://www.expansys.com/samsung-doc...-7-0-and-10-0-charging-audio-line-out-234064/
that looks pretty good.
Using my old Tab dock too with my Tab 2! a bit tight but works well as just a charging dock! Did not know the HDMI did not work!

Hi guys,
I have got a 7.7 tab and a p3110 TAB 2. I tried to put both on my new ECR-D980BEGSTA desktop/docking station to see if a HDMI out works; IT WORKS just for 7.7 tab but NOT for p3110 tab 2!!!
Why?
is there some sw to abilitate a P3110 connector to work on HDMI? some custom rom?

I would say the tab 2 does not have hardware to do HDMI / MHL out. Manufactures are not in the habit of including hardware for no good reason and hiding it. To save cost, I'd bet Sammy eliminated the TV out chip.
As i read from other users, hdmi was found and stated in the first version of the manual and then removed in the next versions!!!
Lets hope it will be supported in the jb release (soon) stay tuned
You could ask the official Samsung dealer in your country
You could send dm to the user in this thread, he says the hdmi work with certain dock in our tab

Hi guys, could need some help, please:
I just can't get a picture from my S3 (neither YouTube, Homescreen, nor movie from SD Card) to show on my LG HDTV's screen... Any idea, why?
Just in case you're wondering...
-- I do have the latest/correct Adapter for the S3 (Model code: EPL-3FHUBEGSTD/Original Samsung bought on Amazon)
-- I have connected the S3 charger to the Adapter
-- One side plugged into HDTV, the other into the Adapter, and the latter plugged into S3.
I think that the CM9 Nightlies (RC2) just might not be up to par... (??)
Can anyone confirm it's actually working with your International S3 (I9300) and XpLoDWiLD's version of CM9 ??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I can confirm this on the Cm10 nightlies.
The mhl adapter works fine on Samsung-derived Roms, just not the CM ones.
I wonder if a different kernel would help? I plan to try a few later...

i have this exact same adapter and can confirm it working perfectly fine on samsung roms. I have posted a similar thread on getting it to work with USB OTG here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836822
I believe there must be something in the kernel to enable HDMI output (seeing as i get a "HDMI cable connected" notification) as well as switching into USB Host mode (and thus providing the adapter with power). It has been suggested that among the 11 Pins in the new Galaxy S3 port there should be 2 separate USB Ports, one to be used for charging, syncing, data cable, MHL, etc, and one to use for USB OTG while the other is in MHL mode.
I am hoping for new insight into this matter, since this would empower the device greatly. Together with the superior hardware, this would definitely be a killer feature.

Hi all,
One of the use cases for a tablet is that it can be used as a light-duty PC replacement.
I intend to use it this way, for some work related stuff. However, to unleash its full utility, it should be paired to a larger display, like 19"+
Miracast does this, but I find that the Miracast on the X1 is a bit choppy. I have a Samsung AllShare dock, and connection is intermittent, with the Malaysia B102 ROM. It was far worse with the initial release ROM.
One of the things I'm thinking is to use an MHL adapter. There are some on the market with built in USB hubs so I can pair this with the X1 and use it as a desktop replacement, for presentation viewing or emails.
Anyway, anyone tried ANY form of MHL adapter on the X1 ?
The original Mediapad (s7-301u) had a micro HDMI port which could be directly used to output.
Thanks all for inputs.
Silly me, there were initial threads saying MHL works.
Just wonder, as there are 2 MHL standards, the earlier one that came with the original Note N7000, and the next version that came with the Note 2 N7100 and later.
Can anyone confirm if the X1 works with the later MHL standard?

I can only say I got mine 7D-503L working with MHL adapter intended for Sony Xperia Compact Z1 (MHL v1.0).
I bought a dirt cheap MHL 1.0 adapter for about USD3. Worked on the 7D-501L, but could not work on the Note 4.
