I've tried to connect the S10+ in a USB C hub with HDMI output (not Samsung DEX) to use it on a 34" 3440*1440 (UWQHD) ultrawide monitor.
For my surprise... it works!!! Yeah!!
One downside, at this resolution, refresh rate is 50Hz...
What usb-c hub were you using?

Hehe, I was hoping to hear what hub @geekoo89 was using.
Are you also able to obtain greater than 1080p resolution in dex mode using a non samsung usb-c hub? If so, would you mind posting what phone and monitor you are using and what resolution was available?

Has anyone tried to get a TV out going on the G-Tablet without having purchased the dock? We have a standard and mini-usb available, maybe it can be done?
electroniccrap.com has a dock connector to hdmi cable.
You can also get a cable from electronic crap which plugs in the proprietary plug and outputs HDMI. Just got mine and works like a charm.

I've tried connecting mine through both USB ports and it's a no go. When I put my TV into USB mode, it says "no device connected" My Digital cameras and video camera work fine, but not the G-Tab.

Does audio work through this cable?
hdmi out
can you post a link or name that cable so we can find it on electronic crap? That would be great-
Nevermind- found it!....LinkIt $29
Since it works like a charm I'm assuming audio works. Do you need to change any type of settings on the g-tab for the video out to work? Or do you pretty much just plug it in and you're good to go?

User Agapeman posted a video on his site using the cable - http://raywaldo.com/2011/06/gtab-does-hdmi/
Would this cable be able to output video from a PS3 or anything?
Any way to use a mini (is it micro?) USB to HDMI cable or converter to share this player's screen to a tv?

no this thing has no video output.
BUT i almost bet there is a physical output on the board but no hdmi has been soldered to it.
Hmm, oh well, thanks for the reply. I still plan on getting this even without video output but I was just curious. Some devices have video drivers that can connect to the mini USB on board, if I remember correctly. Thanks, when I get back home, I'll "thank" you.

But the Korean version 5.0 has video output, correct??
I heard there will be a new micro USB to HDMI cable release in later this year. But now still under development.
There may actually be composite TV out via the 3.5mm port. We haven't got anyone with the right cable to test though...

I've confirmed that there is no MHL (HDMI) support. Dunno about analog yet.
Hallo, is there any way (custom rom/kernel)
to enable the analog video out from minijack?
maybe the drivers of GalaxyS ported to S2?
thank you
No, there is no video output from that port.
Just buy the hml adapter and HDMI cable. I bought both for $15 delivered off eBay.

? Why do you need MHL + analog adapter? Audio will go out through the MHL to whatever you connect via HDMI. If you're connecting to a monitor that doesn't have output speakers, I think you can plug audio (like headphones) directly into the earphone jack of the phone. You shouldn't need both.
My phone outputs audio just fine to my TV via the MHL adapter. I've tested playing FF3 via SNesoid, and FF7 via FPSe, with video/audio to my TV, using a PS3 controller.
I mean hdmi to vga/composite
not all monitors/TVs have hdmi

I hate to break it to you, but that's not going to work without additional, expensive hardware (DAC).

Indeed. You will need what oinkylicious is saying - a Digital to Analog Converter, or DAC. HDMI is a digital signal. VGA/Composite is analog.
MHL, which is the standard used on the phone, is also a digital signal. The official MHL adapter from Samsung is built to go directly to HDMI - digital to digital.
thanks, probably I will just forget the tv-out
I'm not trying to presume, but how do you have a phone that costs at minimum $600, but DON'T have a TV that has an HDMI input? That boggles my mind.
I don't want the phone for my tv, I have the pc connected to it
I wanted the phone as a portable media player when I go to friends
as I did with iphone

How did it happen with an iPhone? You had to have cables/adapters for that, right? Or do your friends have the adapter?
Just about every TV made in the last 3 years or so has an HDMI input, so this issue is just confusing me now.

just a cable with 3 rca, 2 for stereo + 1 for composite video
of course SD quallity, but is ok for standard divx videos
Apparently, Samsung is going to block third-party accessories.... The chip may be in our phone
http://www.maximumpc.com/samsung_may_opt_block_third_party_accessories_galaxy_devices2013
It's not just lower cost that third party products provide, it's features that Samsung are unable or unwilling to provide. Their MHL 2.0 adapter, which they fraudulently advertise as being for use with your 'Home Theater' in fact explicitly prevents you connecting to anything other than a TV directly, so if you want to run through your receiver and get output from your speakers you're out of luck. The only hope now is a third party adapter that works properly (or go back to the old MHL 1.0 adapter and 24Hz frame rates).

We should be asking you that question.
(1) Does it work if you plug it into something other than a monitor or HDTV (i.e. the HDMI or MHL port of an AV receiver?)
(2) What frame rate are you seeing. MHL 1.0 gives 1080p/24 while MHL 2.0 gives 1080p/60. The specification for the Kanex of 75MHz doesn't seem fast enough to support 60Hz at 1080p
(3) When you plug in external power while watching TV does the phone charge and if so at what current (Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free&hl=en to find out).
I assume you're talking about one of these ...
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1001326-REG/kanex_s3hdtv_mhl_2_0_to_hdtv.html
In a perfect world it would work the way it's supposed to. Plug a single micro-usb to HDMI MHL cable into the phone and the other end into the MHL port of a receiver, and the video/audio goes through the receiver while the phone charges from the MHL port, no external adapter required.
It's beyond me how we've been promised this for years but no-one seems to be able to make a cable that can do it.
Ok so here we go its more of a cool idea but does anyone know if that will work?
Can i buy a docking station (computer one as in the ones with ethernet port monitor outputs i.e.) use my OTG cable and connect the phone to 2 monitors lets say ?
At work I`m using my laptop to connect to a server anyhow and using 2 additional monitors so was wondering could i do that with a phone - mainly will it support the montors?
Regards

For anything to work you'll need an MHL adapter that sends your display through the usb port - A simple OTG won't work..
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HNPtech-HDMI-TV-out-Xperia-Adapter-Black/dp/B00JIWVXSE
Once you have MHL output (To HDMI) you can connect it to a monitor! Not so sure about 2 monitors at once though..

Yeah the question now is can i do 2 ... certainly the device can support it since it runs its own screen whiles being connected so will have t try.
