I've searched around the Forums for a bit and I cant seem to find an answer - so I thought I would just ask.
I found an MHL Adapter that does HDMI and Power, but I can only seem to f t for sale in EU : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-p29839.htm
Has anyone seem a cable like this for sale either in the US or somewhere that will ship worldwide?
During lunch I watch movies/etc with my wife on an LCD in my dash, so I need the HDMI and Power to keep the phone going.
Thanks!
I thought all MHL adapters did HDMI and power. I thought that was the point of it over two separate ports. I might be wrong, though.

Yes, MHL standards dictate they do both.
MHL will ONLY charge if your TV is MHL compatible... Which it isn't. MHL ready TV's don't exist yet (AFAIK) MHL adapters are what he linked in the first post, which have a standard HDMI out with a Micro USB in, to charge the phone. That's what you need until you get a MHL TV.
I think the link the OP posted shows a dongle that plugs into the EVO 3D's port, and has two plugs, one HDMI, that would go to the tv, and a second plug to plug in a charger.
I really hope this phone supports full mirroring. I can't wait to get this adapter so I can test it out, hopefully before the 30 day period in case it doesn't work.
If anyone finds one for sale, let us know!
Thanks!

Yeah, I need a cable that will let me charge the phone and use the HDMI - So my total setup is actually going to be :
3D Evo -> HDMI cable to Composite converter for my Avid LCD in my car. So the avic doesnt provide HDMI power, thats why I need an adapter like my original post.

Guys need help!!! Does this MHL adapter work with non-HDTV (HD ready - with support upto 1080i). Because I have a Panasonic Plasma 42" with HDMI port. But, sadly it does not work. Whereas, it works with my brothers HD-LED projector.
Please help.
Hi
I can't get MHL to work. I have tried connecting it, and then rebooting the phone. I've tried on different roms(Lite'ning, CM7 and Revolution), but it's still not working. I have remembered to connect the charger to the MHL adapter. I'm using this adapter: h**p://komple**.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=638058 (replace * with t) (think it's the official samsung one).
Do anyone here have any suggestions to how I can make it work?
Thanks in advance

MHL stopped working
Hi,
I recently bought a note 8.0 and HDMI MHL adapter along with it. My MHL HDMI adapter was perfect till it stopped working one fine day. I don't think it is a wiring issue since the MHL adapter still charges my device but is not able to export the tab screen to TV.
Is this a bug ? I don't think I have installed any applications that should create any problems. Any clues on how to resolve this situation ? I have tried factory reset but still it is not working. Will hard reset be of any help ?
Regards,
Pushkar
I bought this off ebay and it does not work.
It is just a basic 5 pin adapter, what is the issue?
I hate to bump like this but does anyone have a working OTG adapter? If so can you send me a link to where you bought yours?

This one works fine on my Note.

What are you trying to do with it? Also, sometimes eBay sellers are not the most honest. Hope it was cheap.
I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
It works for what I needed it to--connect an external keyboard.
I was under the impression that Note 3 supported MHL 2.0 but when I plug in the official HDTV adapter from Samsung (model number ET-H10FAUWEGWW) I still need to also use a USB charger to get it to show through the HDMI input on my TV?
If I don't I get a continual on-screen message on the phone "HDMI cable connected/disconnected" flashing/cycling until I plug-in the Micro USB charger cable on the side of the HDTV adapter.
Any thoughts appreciated
Your TV would have to have the MHL adapter which would mean you would have had to buy it most likely this year. If you are just plugging it into a regular HDMI slot there is not power available this is why you need to hook up the adapter.

I believe you may have ended up getting a copycat adapter (A 1.0 instead of a 2.0), not official. I recently purchased a MHL 2.0 off amazon for $10 and it works just plugging in the tv hdmi without power. The one I got isn't a samsung one, but it is compatible with samsungs (11-pin I believe). The tv I'm plugging into is an OLD tv (got it when hdmi was just coming out) and it works without using an external source- also working fine on my newer tvs. I believe the power for MHL 2.0 is suppose to come from your phone so the tv shouldn't be the problem.

You definitely do not need an MHL input when using this adapter. The whole point of the adapter is to go from MHL (the Note 3 output) to HDMI (the TV input). If you have an MHL input on your TV or receiver all you need is a cable (basically what's in the white box is built into your TV already).
I second the opinion that you got a knock-off. I have both adapters from Samsung and neither of them need external power to operate with a Note 3.
The only restriction with the MHL 2.0 adapter is that it requires that you plug it into a TV and not a receiver, and it will tell you in no uncertain terms if you don't plug it in correctly.
The only reason to plug in power is that it stops your battery draining so fast, the charger provides about 700mA charging current to the N3.

Could you post a link to the seller you got yours from, or PM me with the info if XDA doesn't allow that? I'd like to get one myself, and like that you have already tried and had good results with yours.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Micr...e=UTF8&qid=1384305065&sr=8-4&keywords=mhl+2.0
Fair warning though; this adapter is not perfect by any means, you can read my review on amazon (the one that tested it out on the note 3). As noted in my review, I am still waiting on a replacement one (since the original one I got functioned but didn't charge when I hooked up my power adapter), and I'll let you guys know if it's better once I receive it. Even though it doesn't function perfectly, for $10 dollars it does the trick.
Edit: They are sending me an extra without having to return the original, so even if the second one doesn't charge, at $5 a pop I'm happy.

Thanks for alerting me to the counterfeit reasoning that shows this part must be a copycat, I contacted the supplier of this part to us for a partial refund as I will use this as a backup and try and buy an original and prices drop from the £39 or take advice of the other replies in this thread and find a genuine 2.0 MHL non-Samsung version. I'll report back if I have any trouble with the supplier claiming that it is a genuine part and see how far eBay support me.

Thanks babyshanks and CraigAmey for clarifying and also confirming that I don't need it new TV to take advantage of MHL 2.0's not requirement for external USB power. As I said in my previous reply and with this information and going back to the supplier on eBay to us for a partial refund as I will keep this version of the adapter until prices come down from the genuine parts for fine art genuine MHL 2.0 adapter non-Samsung version.

I've read that you need to plug into a TV but haven't had problems. But I am using a samsung mhl 1.0 with 11pin adapter. Didn't need power also. Waiting for Samsung to get on the ball so I can buy a genuine mhl 2 from them.

I bought the Samsung one before it went out of stock and it works in any HDMI input also without the need to plug it to the power outlet, but I'm sure a full HD movie will drain the battery fast..

I think for the price of the official one your better off just getting a wireless dongle, unless you plan to game with it.
Hi guys, here's the response from the eBay seller, "These items were purchased From Kondor Ltd who are one of the major UK Distributors of Samsung Accessories. I would be extremely surprised if they sold fake stock and risked losing there multi-million contract with Samsung over some cheap fake stock. I can only assume the item received has a manufacturing fault of some sort as this is the first problem we have encountered for this product sorry.", so as you can imagine I'm beginning to think there my be a fault with my phone if this message is to be believed, what do you guys think?

The MHL 1.0 adapter doesn't care what it's plugged into, only the MHL 2.0 adapter has that issue.
I just bought a mhl cable through amazon. It has the USB connector for the phone on one side, and a HDMI connector on the other. Directly attached to the HDMI connector is a regular USB plug which I plugged into my power source for my phone (as this is how I understood it should work).
I don't get any messages on my phone that indicate that it is connected to my TV/Monitor and my phone also doesn't indicate that it's charging.
What I read from the product description was, that connecting this cable to my power source would also charge the phone. So could it be my phone is charging, even if the battery indicator doesn't say so? Like it would be charging just so much as that my phone doesn't drain? Or should it clearly indicate that the battery gets charged. Befor knowing this, I'm hestitant to send the cable back as defective.
Can any one advise?
Thanks

The phone should indicate it is charging as it normally would.

Thanks. I really appreciate your straight answer
I'll be sending the cable back. I wouldn't bother too much if it wouldn't supply the full resolution and such, but I'd at least would expect some output on my TV.

You're welcome.
I love using MHL, but I really wish there weren't several varieties of MHL cables (5-pin, 11-pin, 1.0 and 2.0) and also such a large number of fakes and very low quality ones out there. Makes buying difficult, as all these threads about MHL demonstrate.
Does anyone know if you can physical see whether you have a 5 pin or 11 pin MHL 2.0?

From the technical specs phone supports USB OTG and MHL.
Anyone managed to get this working? I tried USB OTG in several ROMs, but did not work for me. Anyone had success with that? What ROM and Hardware you used?
MHL i did not try so far, because i do not have any adapter. But maybe anyone can share experience with that.
Thx and best regards
Arangato
Yeah I couldn't get MHL to work either. Very disappointed.
I confirm that USB OTG is working, tried on 3 ROMs (all stock ROMs) and worked with 2 adapters. Tried MHL too but with my adapter for LeTv x600 not worked maybe need another adapter or ROM not supporting but CPU (I thinking) support MHL.

I also tried a standard USB-C to HDMI - MHL cable but I didn't get any signal on my HDMI monitor. Just asked Elephone for help but did not get a reply yet.
I have an OTG adapter that is USB C to read sdcards. It works with my 16gb card, but not my 64gb one. The adapter works fine in my Oneplus 2 with the 64gb card, so I'm assuming the p9000 is having issues somewhere along the line.
Maybe your OTG issue is a similar one.

According to the result of the QR code at
http://www.mhltech.org/experience.aspx
the P9000 is not MHL enabled. I just got negative results with an Aukey USB-C to HDMI dongle with a Sony Bravia TV. The P9000 non-official specs mention MHL capability. Can't know if it's the P9000, the dongle or the TV leading to no display.
