I saw a video out 3.5mm adapter for iPod in a store and was wondering if anyone has tried it for Touch Pro. It was only around $15 so if it works that would be sweet!!
I doubt it.
nope you will have to modify the htc adapter to use it. Might as well pay $17 and get a cable from brando or expansys or even ebay because to rip apart a htc adapter and solder it is too much work to save $3

Yup, this is pretty much it. Brando right now is $19, though.

I bought a windsheild mount PDA holder from ebay a while back and it worked okay but it was cheaply made and it wound up breaking. The phone fell right out of it one day and hit the shifter. I am lucky the screen didnt break.
Anyway, I am looking for a new one and I would like one that can rotate so I can use it in landscape orientation as well, or even with the keyboard expanded. Does such a beast exist?
I would like to see what recomendations you guys have on this. I have searched online at cell accessory shops and there's alot to choose from but many look like the cheaply made one I am trying to replace.
I bought mine from one of those "we sell everything for your phone!" stalls in a market.
Has adjustable width (spring-loaded with cushioned side bits for grip), the arm can bend anywhere you like, and the windscreen mount is a suction cup with a kinda plastic 'lock' (like on a tomtom) to hold it securely.
Hasn't budged since I bought it several months ago for another handset.
Try a market stall, that's my advice. Paid about a tenner (gbp).
In fact... just found a link to the exact same thing. fiver. bargain

Cool, found a few of them for sale from merchants in the States. Thanks for the info!
Got mine at Best Buys.
I've have this one, from Expansys. It's a bit more expensive than the one mentioned, but depending on the durability, this one could last through several different phones.

I've had no problems with it so far!

Bracketron
I got my holder, a bracketron universal holder from best buy for around $30.00
it has an adjustable grip, and can accomodate most devices. It also swivels so that I can use my tilt in either landscape or portrait.
Bracketron here also...
I didn't get the windshield mount though. The one i purchased locks on to the air vent, but bracketron makes the same mount with a flexible-arm windshield mount (suction cup), or you can buy the arm part seperately.
Very pleased with it so far: foam-rubber grip where it contacts the phone, rotates, locks tightly by simply squeezing and releases with the push of a button.
Bought it at Best Buy, $19.95 US.
Any with a power supply hookup that are made specifically for the Kaiser?

check out brodit. They have ones that allow the screen to slide out and tilt, and have a cable to charge the device.
Their US reseller is proclipusa.com. to find a retailer in another country head over to brodit.com

I didn't want to spend too much money on a windshield mount. I just purchased a mount with a built in power supply from ebay for under $20. I'll report how it holds up when I get it.

OMG! That's awesome! If Best Buy's return policy didn't suck I would take mine back and get this one.

I use this one, made for the job and works really well.

I have several Mini USB cables and chargers (from my Blackberry I just upgraded from).
I don't want to have to get all new chargers and USB cables, so would something like this work for power + data?
I'm unable to post links, but would Item Number 180497420790 on Ebay work?
Thanks!
Any those mini-micro adapters will work. I bought one on ebay for really cheap (from HK) and it works fine, charging and data. RadioShack has both mini-micro and micro-mini, so do FredMeyer.
Here are some cheap ones on Amazon.
Amazon Price: $1.20

I just got 3 of these OEM Motorola ones, they work great and are better than the shorter stiff converters because they are less likely to bend your plugs due to the flexible cable.

So, what kind of cable should I get and where can one get it ?
A bit more googling turned up this link, which seems to be the right cable: http://www.blahdvd.com/Hw/Samsung-Original-Samsung-Micro-USB-TV-Out-Cable/AATCX10CBEC/product.htm
Still in the UK though, I wonder if they're available somewhere closer to home :/
the Nokia N95 TV Out cable works perfect.
I believe we have a winner (price-wise): http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.31498
4,73 American lollerdollarz and no shipping !
instead of the 3 colours is it possible to get the HDMI connection instead??

I don't think its possible to do HDMI out I'm afraid.
Can confirm Nokia cables work perfectly, I have an old one that I'm using.
They can be purchased cheaply on Ebay.

You don't think buy your not sure, hmmm lets hope you can do it, the 3 colors seem to me so old now.
I gotta have to go to shops look for a hdmi cable and try b4 you buy.
Can anyone else confirm this, if it works or not for sure?
The phone will only output analogue audio/video as far as I am aware. While you might be able to find a headphone to HDMI lead, the picture won't be any better.
Ordered a lead this morning from eBay, £1.94 delivered from the UK rather than H.K.
Hi all,
1st week into my S3 and well chuffed with it.
Seen the option to be able to play movies to an HDMI telly using an adapter.
There is a geniune branded one on fleabay for £20+ GBP and then a non-branded on for a fraction of that price ( ~£7.50GBP )
Just wondered whether anybody has experience either way to suggest whether the cheap option is worth it or not.
Thx
Beware...

If the cheap one says its also compatible with any other phone than the S3 then it will be a 5 pin MHL connector one, and won't actually work with your S3, even though the seller says it does... The S3 uses an 11pin MHL connector. The cheap ones work fine if you add a 5 to 11 pin MHL adapter add-on ..you can find the adapter add-on for about $10 on ebay
aaah okay so I either find an 11 pin MHL or just go for genuine SS. I'll browse fleabay to see whats out there.
EDIT : This was saved in my fleabay faves, it definately says 11pin but metions S2 & S3. Would YOU trust?

Amazingly I can't even find any of those adapter tips on UK eBay, and if I set to search other countries they trying to charge on average £20 delivery so the cheapest I can find one for is £27.
So can someone point me in the right direction to get one at a reasonable price.

Guys! am I missing something here??? I'm correct to assume my S3 is 11-pin right??
Lets go back to my ebay link : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130752544096?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
This item is £7.59GBP inclusive of shipping and clearly states S3 & 11 pin in the body of the text.
So is this item good to go ?
Would the Galaxy Note one work?
Am I right in thinking that the 11 pin SGS3 MHL cable is compatible with the S2 and the Note (i.e. backwards compatible)?
Don't confuse this with the S2 and Note MHL connector working with the S3 - I know it doesn't.
Can someone actually check with an S3 MHL connector and an S2 or a Note and confirm please?
What is the best one for me to purchase? I looked online and they vary wildly in price, and some require external power to even function.
Anyone have some recommendations?

The cable from monoprice "mhl hdmi cable for android phones and tablets" works and doesn't need a power cord, it comes with everything you need including adapters. New here, so I can't post links

Whatever you do, Don't buy the super cheap ones off Amazon. Buy the more expensive Samsung one. I've bought several cheaper ones of Amazon and they always break or have super bad quality. They have "Samsung" branded ones on Amazon for 20$ but then you run the risk of getting counterfeit. I ordered this one straight from Samsung http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA over 8 months ago, and have used it across 3 devices (S3, S4, and Note 3) and haven't had any problems. Good luck!

No problem, glad I could be helpful. Another thing I would recommend is the Samsung smart dock. Found herehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009QW3TBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382314772&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 it has a whole bunch of features. It is a USB hub, MHL adaptor, dock and headphone jack all in one. It's a bit spendy but an amazing little gadget. You can put your phone on it and just plug an HDMI cable straight into it and it works. It's pretty freaking cool.
