Is it a new 11 pin adaptor? When I came from my SII to the S3 I had to get the new 11 pin adaptor, the old 5 pin adaptor did not work. The 11 pin from the S3 works with the S4. Check on Amazon for the new adaptor or a 5 to 11 pin convertor.

Thx

Does HDMI out work on AOSP roms?
I thought it didn't because I also used to Infuse adapter but I don't want to try buying a new adapter to find out it doesn't work.

It uses a new standard called slim port. Its like having a display port. There is only one cable out that I have found on amazon but its $30. Sucks they changed that standard but it is what lg is doing. Do seem to have a few advantages over mhl.

Eww, I was hoping it is backward compatible with MHL
Now connection to my Pioneer AppRadio will have to be reworked.
Not really much of an availability of these slim port HDMI adapters either... that one from Amazon doesn't seem to ship outside US :banghead:

[Q] Nexus 4 to hdmi

I believe its called an MHL adapter, although i could be mistaken. Maybe someone else can chime in?

This works as well.

Unfortunately from what I have read, the N4 isn't compatible with MHL which really sucks because I have the stuff left over from my HTC Sensation.
The Nexus 4 utilizes Slimport which is based on the DisplayPort technology

Link to adapter on Amazon, works well with Stock and Paranoid from what I remember reading, not sure why others haven't merged it. I use it on CM10.1 despite not cloning the display properly, hopefully it will be fixed in one of the nightlies at some point.

I ordered today the slim port. Will be here tomorrow and I'll let you know how it works.

Ah, no, no they are not.
The S3 and Note 2 used an 11-pin MHL adapter, when all other phones use 5-pin MHL adapters. 5-pin ones don't work in the S3/Note 2, and the 11-pin ones don't work in anything else.
I expect the S4 will take the same 11-pin adapter that the S3/Note 2 use - HDBlog have a YouTube video showing the Samsung Gamepad being demo'd with an S4 in a Smart Dock which requires the 11-pin connection.
I have both kinds of connectors, so I will check once I get hands-on if no one else has by then.
No source...I have the At&t S4 and the mhl from my S3. It works and will even work w/o the external power to the mhl adapter

I also wonder if it will work with the multimedia dock for note 2 / sgs III as I might get one but feels it's too pricey if it's not future proof.

As I mentioned above HDBlog have a video showing an S4 in the Smart Dock to demo the Samsung Gamepad. As soon as I get hands-on I will test with my Smart Dock.
You can also use an 11 to 5 adapter. Works fine on my Note2.

That's weird, I'm certain I read what you wrote earlier but somehow I missed the dock part. Great to hear!

Have you gotten your hands on an S4 yet? The information is scarce but on some sites the multimedia dock is now listed as compatible for S4 / SIII / Note 2

I'll have my S4 on Saturday NZ time.
Samsung themselves now have it on their accessories list as compatible.
It works but mine won't charge the phone unless I'm using the 2A charger that came with the S4. It will work with out external power as well.

Adapter Issue
Guys – I have been using a MHL to HDMI adapter on my Note 2 for several months and it is terrific, but with the S4, the phone indicates HDMI Cable Connected, but the TV indicates “connecting” then drops out and will display “no signal”. Any thoughts?
Follow-Up - I connected the same MHL connector and S4 to my Samsung 50" and it works....the LG 60" (which worked with the Note 2 and same connecter / cable) will not work with the S4. Suggestions?
I'm so excited to not have to use the plug in power port all of the time. I understand that it won't charge but still exciting
5 pin to 11 Pin question
I have the Samsung S II MHL adapter. If I purchase the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter do you think the S2 MHL adapter paired with the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter combo will work on my S4? I would assume it would since others confirmed the S3 MHL adapter works. All I know for sure is S4 uses the new "MHL 2.0 Standard" . Any info is helpful. ThX! :good:

If you are using an MHL adaptor that works with an S2, it won't work as the pin outs are different.

S3 mhl cable can only produces 1080/30p, go for S4 cable which is 1080/60p.

Incorrect, as the poster above mentions. S3 cable will be limited to MHL 1.0 spec output as given, S4 cable does MHL 2.0 spec output as given in the above post.

Yup u need the one designated for the s4. I sent u that link as an example of what they are. Personally I would get it from samsung. I've bought 3 that said they work with s4 and they didnt. I have a friend who got the one from Samsung and his works fine.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
a lot of them DO work with the S4 still that are "older" mhl adapters, but you also need the 5 to 11 pin adapter for those to work like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0089...qid=1388224095&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
Otherwise, just get one line what was noted a couple of posts up, as it's already utilizing the 11pins and saves you the trouble. (make sure you're getting a legit one & check the reviews!)
Alternately, you can get the allshare cast hub (by Samsung) which also mirrors via hdmi.
It is also possible without an mhl dongle or allshare cast hub to push things (pics, movies & youtube) directly if you have tv/home theater/blu ray that's dlna enabled to push to.
I've done it from the older mhl w/ 11 pin adapter, newer 11 pin, allshare hub & by dlna enabled device without issue. I mainly use the latter nowawdays, but still use the other methods on occasion because of the screen mirroring.
As a side note, both mhl adapters are OEM.
Its sad I didn't know this thing had HDMI out capabilities
