I've order 2 different ones and neither one works. From what I can tell some of them have 5 pins and others have 11 (on the phone end).
The last one I got said it was specifically for the Mega 6.3 but it doesn't work either.
Just wondering if any of you have found one that does work for you?

Just plugged it in including USB power supply, no set-up necessary.
There will be a message on the phone's screen saying HDMI is connected.
Make sure your TV input is in the mode where you plugged in the HDMI.

Have you rooted your phone?
I rooted mine and then put the stock kernel back. But I did freeze alot of services, so maybe one of those is needed for MHL support. I got what I thought was the right MHL adaptor, now i'm starting to thing maybe its on the phone's end.

My phone is rooted with CWM installed. Check the cables you have if they are really 11 pin:
Both of the ones I have look like the old one, even though both of the amazon/ebay listings say that they work with the newer S4 and Note 2.
Hmmm. Very interesting...

They are probably wrong since they won't be able to test it without buying the phones. Maybe you can send them back and get a refund.

quick question:
Will micro HDMI to HDMI cable work or is MHL adapter/micro usb to HDMI required?
It's my understanding that our old microhdmi to hdmi cables we used for our evo 4g will not work with the evo 3d. Instead, we will need an MHL adapter or microusb to HDMI cable.
Just want to verify my understanding. I am sure somebody else is wondering this too.
MHL is required. my question is where do we get it at? only one i see is the one that comes with the samsung phone. i called sprint and they said there is one in the box but i really doubt this person at sprint knew what i was talking about.

I created an account just to tell you: Thank you for posting this. I don't know how to thank you using the forum yet, so I'll just say it.
I went to a bunch of stores yesterday asking about the adapter, and none of them even knew what MHL was.
Many thanks!

Now, purely for education, will there ever be a "microusb to hdmi" cable?

I don't think so.
I believe the reason for the MHL adapter is because the HDMI doesn't provide a charge for the phone.
I could've sworn there was an early hands on video on YouTube where the sprint/HTC Rep said it can charge via HDMI... let me do some digging.

I remember the same thing. The cable is supposed to have some sort of port for connecting a cable to charge the device from what I understand.

at ~0:31 she mentions the MHL connector has a port to, I assume, plug in a DC source in order to simultaneous output HDMI and charge.
i bought universal mhl adaptor from t mobile that they sold for the sensation .. but when i plug into my phone and then try and toggle my tv to the hdmi source that the phone is plugged into it doesnt pick up a signal from that port.... is there something that has to be enabled on the phone?
I fot mine from tmobile website. Cheapest I found and works like a charm. Plus every store I called asked "what's an mhl cable?"

Indeed, you can have a USB stick attached, and charge inductively, at the same time.

You're in Adelaide? As in, Adelaide, SA?! If so, I'm amazed! Which model of N7 did you do this on? I'm looking at picking up a 32GB 3G model in the next couple of days; do you expect this mod is compatible across all 3 models?
I would truly love to have this installed on an N7 but, like many others here, it is way over my head. Kudos to you for giving it a go and getting it working - that's incredible!

With OTG cable and a tiny little reader you can use it
get otg cable from amazon, and this micro Sd card reader http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HGFKR8/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
super tiny and it works great.
cost for both items under 15 bucks shipped.
Only thing I've noticed, the One couldn't read my 64 GB card formatted in xFat, I reformatted it FAT 32 and it works fine
Gunny, any particular OTG cable you recommend or use for your One?
I don't even remember which one I got. They're all the same. Check monoprice also.

Nice, I plan on picking up a straight one too. The only case I had issues with using the right angle one is my nexus 7. I like using the right angle better since it runs parallel with the bottom of the phone/tablet instead of sticking out of it hence making it a bit less noticeable. I mostly use it on my nexus tablets.
Do you happen to know if a split cable with usb charging on it was ever made to work, or can the port not be a host and charge at the same time?

Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
It let you connect to HDMI without external power, also if you use external power you can use HDMI and USB hard drive at the same time, it is just really really amazing, Sammy has really improved their MHL and OTG support.
Note: I am using this device on my Note 3 N9005 I am not sure about other devices

Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
Mhl 2.0?
Iv been dealing with these for about a year now. From my s3 to my note 3. With the s3 it's 2.0 so you have to provide external power but these things are the tits when it comes to the note 3 with 3.0 you can run USB and HDMI without power. I play games and use it for work with all wireless accessories it's awesome. Supports 1080p at 60hrtz. We sell them in our repair shop and on Ebay. Not often though as "normal" people don't see the capabilities of this lol.
Go buy one their awesome.

It's not immediately apparent, but the device pictured (and others like it, one of which I have) do have a port for charging: the micro usb. When I got mine it took me a minute to realize that, then it hit me that power would really be the only use for that port. So I plug one of my Sammy charging cables into it during use.

I have 2 different ones. With both my battery still drains. How does this official one stand up? Does your battery charge at all?
I honestly didn't check it, but I am pretty sure it depends on the charger you use. I use the original at 2.0 amperage in output.
I think you should check that in order to use the note 3 and getting it charging.

Consider I saw a couple of films ( at least 3/4 hours) and once disconnected I am sure I kept using it with no need to change my battery.
