OTG HDMI adapter - Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories

Does anyone know what OTG HDMI adapter I need ot which one is correct?
I was order one before I was get the phone and now I see the plug was not compatible.
Sorry for bad english and hope you understand my question

The cable your looking for is called an mhl 3 cable but Samsung stopped supporting mhl starting with the s6 I believe. Casting is a much better option IMO anyway. The last mhl adapter I bought was for my note edge and it was around $60 for the Samsung branded version with back charge. You can pick up a chrome cast for half that and all newer smart tvs have native casting built in.

Ok thanks. But I think with chrome cast will be too much lag for playing games with phone and screen showed on tv?

With the new Chromecast and a decent router you should be good... I haven't really tried to play much but I showed off a few games that way.

thank you. I will buy chromecast and try this way. Hope my internet speed was fast enough with screen mirroring without lag.
If will my TV support screen mirroring I will try this way but its not.

What about if I try change the connector with right one? Plugin on adapter was not right, but attached was the right one.
Problem was only if Samsung was not support mhl cable anymore.

HDMI Mirroring

I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website yesterday, so I should get it today (yeah, I paid the extra $6 for overnight shipping).
Does this phone support FULL mirroring (i.e., when plugged in to TV, TV screen mirrors whatever is on the phone's screen)? I used the full HDMI app on my Evo 4G, and it was great for watching shows from HBO GO on my TV.
Has anyone tried it yet? If not, is there a review out there somewhere that specifically demonstrates this feature?
I guess I'll know tonight when I get home from work!
Thanks,
Rob
I haven't seen it specifically on this phone, but I've seen the Qualcomm MSM8660 demos showing full mirroring. We should be capable of it, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I'm surprised nobody's tried it yet!
Can you use the normal micro HDMI or do you have to buy the adapter to use HDMI? Lol kinda confused how this works with the new port? Could anyone explain? Thanks
You need to buy an adaptor. Basically, it's a dongle that plugs into the USB (charger) on the E3D. The dongle/adaptor has a HDMI port on it, along with a USB port. You plug an HDMI cable into the HDMI port, and into the TV. You plug a charger into the USB port and into the wall.
So no, the HDMI cable from the EVO 4G (I have one too) won't work.
Does that help?

Back to the issue at hand... does it do HDMI mirroring or not? I have this bad ass HDMI integration in my Prius that is preventing me from upgrading from the 4G until at least HDMI mirroring is confirmed.

According to this demo from CTIA it appears it can, but this is unfinished testing hardware/firmware so it's still not a confirmation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g
This doesn't exactly give you an answer with the level of certainty you are looking for but it's a good sign. We should see some end users with feedback on HDMI features on the production phone streaming in any time now that hopefully confirms that it can do this across any application without problems or limitations.

hey rtmeikle . I also got the mhl from tmobile. I hooked it up last night to sadly find out that hdmi mirroring is not supported at all. It was all a big hype it appears. Were you able to get it working? I'm hoping that you were so maybe its just my device....if not, then this phone is going back.
Yep, I got mine yesterday and tested it. It works fine.
You have to have the adaptor plugged in to the phone, a charger plugged to the adaptor, and the HDMI cable running from the phone to the TV.
I got full HDMI mirroring which automatically switched to landscape when I tested Netflix and HBO Go.

interesting. thanks for the quick respond. When i connect it to my hd tv all i get on the phone is a message that says *HDMI play a video or slideshow to display via hdmi* on the notifications bar. When I click that, nothing happens...

Strange. The image of my home screen just popped up on my TV; I didn't have to do anything.
I tested it on the TV in my bedroom, a 3-yr-old Samsung 42" Plasma, nothing fancy.
Maybe tonight I'll test it on my other two TVs and see if it works on all of them.
did you allow the latest OTA upgrade or did you cancel it? I allowed it as soon as I turned the phone on. I also tried it on my 58 samsung plasma hdtv. Its not that old but also not that new.
I'm going to try it tonight on my smaller 32 inch lcd hd tv to see if that makes a difference. It shouldn't though.
Not like it matters since all MHL cables are the same but here is the MHL adapter I'm using: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4ec1-a08e-e133fa772d53&inCart=True&catCode=23

Yep, I've accepted the OTAs. And I'm using the exact same adaptor. Did you plug power into the adaptor too? I didnt' try without plugging it in, but I've heard that it needs to be plugged in to work.
Ok, i finaly got it to work. It wasn't a problem with the phone but a problem with the tv. I had to change some resolution settings on the tv and presto! Hdmi mirroring on its full glory
Now, do you know if I can pair up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Thats next for me.
Thanks for all the help.

This is what I am currently doing. I have hooked up the following.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard
The keyboard works great. I can type in the applications and setup my keys in the emulators just fine (snesoid etc)
Mouse functionality though is different then you may expect. You don't get a mouse cursor, it just "highlights" selections then you "left click" to go forward. According to my research the right mouse button is supposed to "go back" but is not working for me.
I put up a thread asking others for help with it, so if I find an answer I will let you know.
Updating you on what I found out about the mouse.
"Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access "

the adapter has a USB plug that you use to hook up to a charger, and will charge your phone. Newer TVs are coming that will support charging over HDMI via the MHL adapter, there may be some out but I think will be a standard in 2012 TVs.

Quick Q on MHL adapter

I've never gotten one before.
Are all of them the same, i.e. if I buy one that's for an SGS2 it will still work on this device right? They're all just microUSB to HDMI I'm thinking. Cuz I see some cheap ones for like $7 and I'd rather just get that than spend like $30 on a "good" one that's the same exact ****.
brand means nothing on these. the only thing you need to know to use it is you will have to power the mhl adaptor with your micro usb cable
I've had mixed results with these adapters.
I ordered 2 different cheap adapters from ebay (2 because I read that some dont work with the note) The first one to arrive just didn't want to work tried everything but gave up on it. The second one also didn't work the first couple of times but then suddenly worked. It was ok for about 2 weeks of heavy use then it gave up on me aswel.
Now I have the original Samsung MHL adapter and works every time with no problems. So to answer your question - it's a game of luck unless you pay.
Anyone here using a tested and verified working mhl? I would love to get one myself too.
i was skeptical so i bought one off ebay for like 8 bucks... plugged it in the day i got it and was playing Tekken 3 on my TV via Galaxy note .... works pretty well. There may or may not be a little lag though... (might have been my tv)

It's to be noted though, if you're playing a youtube video outside the web browser the annotations wont show up on the tv, nor will subtitles on a mkv file, unless the subtitles are hardcoded into the video itself.

The one in your link is for the N2 and S3-S4. One new feature the N3 came out with is the USB 3.0.
I'm waiting for Sammy to come out with a dedicated dock for the N3 to take advantage of the higher speeds, that is if you want to set it up as your new desktop computer with mouse/keyboard, HDMI monitor and an external HDD hooked up to it... I'll wait.
The one in the link is for the GN3 as well if you check.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Samsung doesn't seem to be in any hurry to come out with ANY accessories for the GN3, let alone a dock that is going to be pretty much the same as this one. The 3.0 usb is only faster for smaller files. There's been a couple of guys on the forums who have run some tests. I personally have found it a little faster for some things, but overall, not much. With my set up and an SSD, I'm not waiting for anything at all when I'm working on it.

It is for n3 also. You're not benefitting much from the usb3. I'd rather wait for 64bit phones to come out and mature some before I start using a desktop dock.

It should work fine, but I don't have one so I can't test it to see. By connecting the keyboard with a mouse it automatically switches the interface to the mouse instead of the phones touch screen, so It may or may not see the touch screen feature of the monitor. I would just take it to someplace like Best Buy and test it first if I were you.

Right, it's compatible with the N3, but it doesn't mean it was made for it.
So you think the end user would benefit more (see the actual speed increase) from the 64 bit computing rather than transfer speeds increase from using the USB 3.0? I'm sure the dock station mean for a light home use (internet, documents, multimedia, etc, not sure about gaming with this setup) and not for the 3D modeling and such? I honestly can't say that I was blown away from switching to 64 bit home PC and notebook, the noticeable difference on a phone would be even less.
Thinking about it, can't even say I'd see the benefits of USB 3.0 as I don't (and won't be) copying files between the phone memory and the external storage.

I'll try to get you some pics this weekend. It should fit with your case.

Everything works perfectly. I watch full screen HD movies on my home theater system all the time. And the dock automatically switches the view on the HDMI connected peripheral to landscape. as long as you have daydream toggled off in display and desk home screen display toggled on in accessory. You should also set HDMI audio output to surround if you have a home theater system.
You don't need KMV switcher.
I get my movies from Showbox. Due to XDA policies, I can't post the apk for it here, but you can just Google it to download and install.
I am not getting 1080p
When I hook up the dock to the monitor it is giving me 1280x720. Any ideas?
Hello... I would buy this dock. But a question. Why have the note3 so a different usb-connector.. Micro-usb +??? My Orginal Samsung otg cable works. My non Samsung Orginal mhl-hdmi cable works. What or for What is this connector.. Another little help please. Cover and dock works together i read, is this right? I use Orginal Samsung s view Cover.
Gn3 has a usb3.0 connector. Standard 2.0 micro USB works fine
I'm really disappointed with the smart dock.
There is a lag of half a second between the action and the display on the TV screen, It's impossible to play any games in theses conditions.

Sounds like something wrong with your setup. There are a number of vids on YouTube showing the SmartDock in action, including one by XDA member NZTechFreak, demonstrating outstanding response - certainly no sign of "half a second" lag.

There is lag from the MHL connection to the TV. I've an aftermarket MHL to HDMI cable and Samsungs own MHL connection, both which have a lag on TV screen compared to what is actually happening on the device.
Fine for Movies and Stuff, but completely unsuitable for gaming.

He plays games with the SmartDock and his PS3 controller, so "completely unsuitable for gaming" is a bit of an exaggeration.
And nobody said there was no lag. I questioned the previous poster's "half second" lag experience. The lag through the dock is closer to a tenth of a second, as is clearly visible the clip.
If that's unacceptable to you, then your choice is clear - don't get one. And not everybody plans on gaming. For me, the ability to stream Netflix to my TV justifies the SmartDock's existence.

The LG G3 doesn't use MHL they use another adapter called slimport. I don't know the technical differences, but I know they are not inter-changeable.

Samsung's MHL adapters don't usually work for other devices. I bought what turned out to be a Samsung only cable a while back, when I plugged it into my HTC DNA it would not fit. I ended up grinding down the connector so I could get it plugged in and it still didn't work. Traded it to my boss for a regular MHL cable and that worked fine. I have not tried it in my G3 however, with the Chromecast and Miracast options I just haven't needed to.
that's ridiculous, there should be a universal mhl adapter. The reason I want one is so I could play emulators that are on the phone. If I did that wirelessly with miracast and chromecast, I get bad latency issues

I know it's definitely ridiculous, Samsung is getting just as bad as Apple about proprietary connections. If I get a chance when I get home I will try the adapter I have for my HTC and see if it works. I have a WD TV Live box that supports Miracast and it's terrible, but the Chromecast seems to work a lot better. I can see latency being and issue with games for sure though.

Question HDMI Output

Has anyone been able to get HDMI video output working via a usb-c dongle? I have tried three different dongles that work on every other phone I own and the display does nothing. Hope it's not disabled in the firmware etc.
Usb 2.0
I can confirm that IS possible to output HDMI from Find N but only if you use an DisplayLink adapter. I tried some USB Type-C adapters with HDMI (I have 2 and use then on a Samsunt Tab S6) and they didn't work on Find N. It's possible to use the USB ports but HDMI doesn't work.
For the DisplayLink adapter, I tested with an Targus model DOCK110 and after installing the DisplayLink program from Playstore, I was able to output via HDMI. Also, the USB ports are working. The only problem is that you cannot charge your Find N, using this adapter. Also, you will need a USB Type-C to USB type A adapter with this dock.
Ok but displaylink is ****. You can't really use it. Huge lag low quality. The same as wireless output

When I tested it, it didn't look too bad. Of course, there is some lag but not too much. If you watching a Youtube movie, it's not very bad; I almost didn't noticed any difference. But if you want to play games on the big TV and if it's a fast pace game, surely you will have some difficulty.
