Good question
For answer, please precise, if it's for chinese or european model...

I'm interested in european version (PLK-L01)
I've tried with my Galaxy S3 (i9300) MHL cable without success.
But the S3 use a specific 11 pins MHL connector and not the more generic 5 pins implementation.

[Q] TV out?

Apart from DLNA, how do you get tv-out to work via cable?
MHL cables seem to be unavailable in the UK at least.
I heard the N95/N96 3.5mm RCA cable works, is this true, can anyone validate this claim?

It doesn't, there was already a thread on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069246
Definitely not true, I tried with mine, as have several others.
MHL cable/adapters on sale June apparently, should be available a bit before that though, since its coming in the retail box for the Infuse 4G.

[Q] Dual-sim adapter and micro-SIM

I figured this topic is a question, therefore I did not post it in the accessories forum.
I was wondering if it is possible to use a dual sim adapter for the Galaxy S3. For the S2, I have a no cut adapter, which fits under the battery cover without a problem.
Since the S3 is using micro sim, this becomes more complicated. A cut adapter is impossible. A no cut adapter would possible. There are some multi sim adapters for the iPhone 4s. Does anyone have one and could tell me if it is possible to use with the Galaxy S3?
The adapter would also allow to use standard size sim. I don't know how thick the adapters are, perhaps they also fit under the battery cover. It is a shame that the S3 uses micro-SIM with the size of a 4.8" phone, even the slot is exceptionally big, I suspect it was changed later just so people can plop in their SIM cards from their iPhones.
Id be interested in this if you could find one that fit under the cover.
Here is an adapter.
http://www.g-telware.de/dual-sim-adapter/gdsgs3-dual-sim-adapter-karte-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Any idea if the dual adapters made for iPhone 4 would work? because I've seen them for $5.
I think the iph4 adapters will work also.
bigger question is will they fit under the back cover of the s3!?
can anybody tell me if there is 1mm room between the back cover and the battery? (or if the back cover can be snapped back in with a small "lump" because of the extra sim)
The back cover's very flexible so it should fit no problem, and I ordered an iPhone dual adapter for $5.40 last week so i'll give that a try when it turns up.

I've tried 2 different brands of iPhone 4 adapters on my s3 and it doesn't work at all. I've had a few adapters over the years from www.magic-sim.com who have been great but they don't seem to have an adapter for the s3 available right now. I'll email them and ask why.
Here's an adapter for $5.74 with free worldwide shipping

[Q] micro USB to HDMI/MHL Adapter not working !

All,
Just bought a adapter cable (Micro-USB to HDMI/MHL adapter) from Ebay that is compatible with the Samsung galaxy S3. It states you can watch pictures or video from the phone to your TV in HD.
However, it simply doesn't work, is there something I need to setup on my phone (like the old TV Out) ???
Thanks for any advice received.

You probably got yourself one of the many fakes that claim to be S3 compatible but really just the old type MHL cable.
No you shouldn't have to do anything. Seems to be a bit of confusion among retailers though as to which cable is for s3. Is it generic? Do you have a product no.?
Here is the link

If it's compatible with s2 it's not compatible with s3. Seller has either advertised incorrectly on purpose or by mistake. Best contact them to seek a refund then you will see which it is.

Thanks mate, I was thinking the same thing but great to get feedback, guess I need to return it.

Yup, I can also confirm. There was an article on Engadget about Samsung rearranging the pin arrangement of the port.

Wow, that's not fair. It is Samsung that is selling fake MHL accessories.
That vendor was selling a real MHL accessory, compatible with the > 100 real MHL devices already in market. Sammie gave no warning or explanation, and advertised that the SGS3 supported MHL, so many vendors had no way to know that their MHL cables wouldn't work with the SGS3.
Now those vendors have to give people money back and take a loss, when all they were doing is selling authentic MHL stuff.

Sorry but I am being fair because I've seen dozens of cables claiming to be S3 compatible and some that say they made specifically for the S3 alone, I mean I just got caught out by one because 11 days after getting dispatch confirmation I emailed the seller and they said they just found out it isn't compatible and offered a refund, so it looks like they knew it was fake from the beginning and didn't send it but still charged me and confirmed it was sent, and I think everyone can agree this item is definitely trying to claim to work on S3 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-GT-...7TNA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341253133&sr=8-2

MHL is a closed-documentation commercial proposed specification.
With drafts, changes are rather the norm than the exception. There were reports of the old pin-layout causing issues being the reason for the switching of pins.
But anyway, Samsung is one of the main developer in the consortium so they can change specifications.
Noone said MHL had to be backwards-compatible between revisions.
It's the seller's fault for ASSUMING that there would be no changes and marking the cable as compatible without even attempting to try.
Additionally they could've been notified of this change several months prior release of the S3 if they had bought access to the MHL specification which is restricted but still available and most surely includes iformations about the reason and details of the included changes.

Hi folks,
I had a hell of a time finding the right adapter for my 7.0+ and want to make sure about this.
Can I use the adapter I have for my TMobile S2 on an AT&T Note 1?
Th GS3 and Note 2 MHL adapters are compatible while the S2 and Note 1 MHL adapters are compatible.
Sweet, thank you!

Ahh good olé monoprice. Love that site and it's the perfect place to get anything home networking or home entertainment wise. Bought my gf's drafting tablet through them. Awesome quality and like a quarter the price of the closest competitor.
