are MHL adapters universal or model specific? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alot of the MHL adapters are sold with "for Samsung galaxy S II" or "for Galaxy S3", but they look exactly the same, so are they model specific or can be used on Android phone?

I second that. If u r on note 2, u look to look for specific mhl for your phone. I recall coming across sales thread that mention for note 2 and s3 o ly Nevis of the number of connections inside which is different from the rest.

There are other versions of the i9100 that have an NFC chip (i9100t or i9100g or something like that, I've forgotten exactly).
They must be able to run the same ROM, in which case a dev would rather produce a ROM for both models instead of producing 2 ROMs.
I9100P is the only I9100 model variant that has NFC out of the box. (not T or G)
There are other Galaxy SII variants that have it though - but just not any other I9100 models.

Yeah, like I said. I wasn't sure which only that there are other models that have it (that's why God invented Google). Mine doesn't so I'm not so concerned, meh.
No worries.

My post was meant more for the OP, not a slight against you or anything.
There's an app named Z-Device Test in the Android Market; it can detect NFC hardware.

[Q] What is the difference between GT-P5110 and the GT-P5113

Hello and a good day
I have the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 and found some custom roms for it but there seems to be a difference in models. There is a rom for the GT-P5113 and am wondering if the rom will work on my GT-P5110. I want to know what the difference between the two models is and maybe some one can tell me more about it before i start flashing and end up with a bricked tablet.
Thanks in advance.
There's no difference between the 2 models. they are all the same.
It's like XT311 and XT316.
It's the same Motorola Phone, but with different names and models.
there is a difference...
Note that there are models with/without 3G, and with/withoud IR

Only works with stock ROMs . Will not work with CM based or AOSP
Ive been reading many posts about the HDMI adaptor not working... I just downloaded Samsungs Samsung care app and according to the tv out section my G Tab 2 10.1 p5110 does not support it... maybe if somebody tried the same app on a device which has been successful in using the adaptor and see what it says on that device.
Also these tabs are bril... I saved over 100 £ on the device just costing me about 180 £. Bargin!

just got this adapter today. As previously thought, it does not work on CM10 but what's weird is that my wife has the original Tab 10.1 and it works on her's running CM10.
Anyway, I'm going to reflash my Tab with another ROM to test it out.

That's what I'm saying. Our Tab running CM10 plays video and audio perfect. There must be some modification in that rom to make it work. Oh well, at least one of our tablets works

HDMI out on a CM based ROM never happened, can't happen, it doesn't contain the drivers to make the hardware work.
If you are talking about playing video on the tablet screen, you are in the wrong thread, This is about HDMI

Where did you get this info? It's not detailed enough because there are 3 different models numbers for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1” and only GT-P5113 model supports HDMI output. Adapter is useless for GT-P5100 and GT-P5110 users.

I can confirm that the Samsung HDTV only works for the GT-P5113 and not the GT-P5100 or GT-P5110

Correct, the P5100 does not have video out so this will not work.
See this page for compatible tablets

I bought this adapter yesterday. However, it does not work on my 5100..

Well......... several post here point out that only the P5113 has video out and so does Samsung's accessory page. So.......................hoping just won't make it so...
So does it work or not???? The EPL-3PHPBEGSTA HDMI adaptor for the P5113 tab??
On the stock Samsung ROM, you have to attach a power cord to the adapter as well in order to get video - P5113
