Hi all
I bought one of these from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-adapter-Connect-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG/ref=cm_rdp_product however when I try to use it nothing happens
just wondering if anyone else has one of these, does the screen rotate to Landscape when you put just the adapter in (Not connected to a HDMI cable?)
I have tried it on a TV that has HDMI and as a long shot i tried it on my HDMI->DVI lead that connects my monitor to my PC - No go in both cases
Not sure at this stage if the adapter is broken, or my Phone isnt working.
what rom are you using?

out of stock. its gone that way for awhile, it goes OOS then comes back
No problem here. The screen doesn't rotate until the HDMI end is plugged in the TV.
How much are these selling for?
Tried it on 4 TVs now with lots of different HDMI cables and it doesnt seem to work, so that leaves either a faulty adapter or faulty Nexus 4!
(I am right in thinking its just plug and play, i dont need to enable anything on my N4?)

Correct. In my case it only rotates when I plug in the HDMI cable and it works beautifully. No issues whatsoever. I hope it's the adapter and not your phone!

I have one from the same source and it works like a charm via an 83p HDMI cable (similar source) to all 3 TV sets I've tried it with.
I bought one from Amazon here in the US, via http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UZBLSG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
got it Christmas eve, plugged into TV1 didn't work, thought it was my HDMI cable, tried it with TV2, worked right away. went back to TV1, didn't work, went back to TV2, didn't work. Reboot, didn't work, fiddled with the cable, worked for a few minutes, then stopped working.
Everytime I want to watch something, I spend about 15-20 minutes jiggling the adapter, unplugging, replugging the adapter to get it working again. 2 nights ago, I watched a movie, it worked, every minute or so it would give me a snow screen for half a second. Last night tried to watch another movie, spend 30 minutes with it, won't come on.
A friend has a N4 as well, going to go to his house tonight to see is it the adapter or my phone
edit: I went to my friend's home and tested it using his Xbox360 HDMI connection, neither his phone or my phone would display video, his TV simply said "no signal" I am sending it back to Amazon, and getting a full refund. Probably going to just grab a PTV3000 instead

Thanks for the feedback. I have been unable to get it to display any images.
I am sending it back to shipper for full refund. Only getting the refund because they cant provide me with a replacement at the moment.
Quite dissapointed that it didnt work Might have to look into Mirracast!
Does only the PTV3000 support Mirracast or will anything that supports intel Widi work? Such as this.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-ScreenCast-Adapter-Windows-Wireless/dp/B0061KCPF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357778497&sr=8-1

Any one know?
It has to be Miracast compliant to work with the Nexus 4. That Belkin thing will NOT work with the N4. The Belkin is WiDi not Miracast.
The only wireless adapters on the market currently that are tested and known to work (with beta software) are:
Netgear Push2TV PTV3000
Actiontec SBWD100KIT01 ScreenBeam Wireless Adapter/Kit
Both can be found on Amazon. The Netgear can also be found in some Best Buy stores.
(I own the Netgear one and can confirm from 1st hand, daily use, that it does work with the N4.)

Note you can hook up charger to SlimPort at top hole to charge phone great device must have if using phone to watch movies play music on TV with surround sound. Better then waisting time transferring mp3 to Xbox, Ps3 networked computer or wireless hard drive. Save your money if you are not looking to store music in hard drive.

The HTC One X uses an MHL adapter for tv-out.
The Nexus 5 uses a Slimport adapter.
They are not compatible, although they look similar.
im going to buy that phone but do it supposrt that? i already got hdmi and usb one from my N7000 note
wish it does(((
this phone got low storage and i really like this phone
sorry yes it doesnt have OTG support its horrible it would be awesome specially for this guy
im thinking if i get out of space
Yes it does have OTG but you need an external power.

thanks but i dont think i can find this in iran and i already got a cable for my note
anyway i dont really care about this
woops sorry! i tought its a cable is it safe:?
For HDMI out I don't think your cable will work. Majority of older phones use mhl for HDMI out but the n4 uses slimport and mhl cables will not work
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
1. Nexus 4 uses Slimport, not MHL. You'd need to buy a new cable anyway.
2. OTG only works with external power, and cannot work simultaneously with Slimport (No HDMI+OTG).
3. There is Miracast, but it sucks.
damn i bough cable wanted to experience playing games on hd tv but my phone bricked after that no chance let me see if that works whit htc one s (of my father)
anyway mine got a hdmi input and a power input and a micro-usb output
and slim port is it better? never heard about it

Well if you want to play a video or game via the video out mhl the thing is worthless if its output is at 30hz it just hicks up al over the place.
I purchased this devices because of the output at 60hz but sadly I have to bring it back as its output is at 30hz like the S3 which is just crap for gaming and video.
For video it will frame skip and gaming it will be laggy on gameplay so a piece of 450 euro crap.

You need a mhl 2.0 cable. If you use the same cable as S3 uses you will only get 1080p30.

Samsung you bastards!!!! Ok to get serious what do I need then ?
I need USB connections like on this device and HDMI out at 60hz.
Maybe you will need this thing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA27H0PT0127
It says its MHL2.0 and is backwards compatible with MHL1.0 (but you will have to power it with micro USB cable)
There is no mentioning about the output but search with the model name and somewhere it will be mentioned.
This was known before launch to be honest. They made it very clear that this will be MHL 2 phone which meant all our existing accessories will be absolute. Sucks to be honest, but that is the name of the game. Sometimes they simply have to cut the cord to move to next standard.
In the end i've got the mhl 2.0 cable which works fine and it outputs at 1080p60hz. This is great for gaming. Movies I can use the dock for. I just attached a 1TB usb drive ExFat formatted and reads it fine. You do need to have a powered usb hub in between though. The dock doesn't have enough power to keep the drive spinning.

Ok so I have this TV that supports FHD resolution up to [email protected] It runs smooth on 1080i it's probably at 60Hz and also runs smooth at lower resolutions like 720p. the problem is I can't set the resolution to run on. I just connect the cable and it automatically runs on 1080p.
at first I thought it might be something wrong with the 11pin cable I bought but then I tested it on another TV and it automatically entered 720p mode... which is interesting because as far as I know that TV is also a FHD TV. the thing is... it ran pretty smooth at that resolution and I would be happy if I could set the Note 3 to run on a custom resolution on my TV like 1080i or at least 720p.
any way I could do that?

Not only is that a paid app but also requires root.
any free workaround that doesn't require root?
I called Samsung service a couple of minutes ago and they said the phone automatically connects to a certain resolution (yeah tell me something new). the point is this: it actually connects to various resolutions depending on the TV. for example on my tv it connects to [email protected] but on another tv it conmects to [email protected] (which btw is way smoother). on my TV even the Note1 knows how to connect to [email protected] instead of [email protected] (which is laggy). I wonder what makes the Note3 connect to certain resolution: is it the TV's software or is it the Note3's software...?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Its up to both phone and TV about resolutions.
About the app - not everything is free and non-root.

i connect my note 3 to tv and its automatic connect at 1080p/30hz but my tv can support 60hz can i change it somehow?
why didn't samsung allow us to choose among all the possible resolutions it can connect to successfully (obviously the phone can detect that)? what do they think, are we that stupid not to make the right choice for us when it comes to resolution?
actually what they're doing, they try to push their TVs on our through. when I called service they asked if my TV was a Samsung TV almost like if they weren't willing to offer support unless my TV was Samsung.

Sounds familiar. I also contacted them to fix their crappy HDMI settings in firmware as Im not getting more than 720p on 1080p HDTV. They said they will let know their devs and hopefully soon be resolved. Seems like nobody speaks about HDMI but many people have issues
well.. at least it runs smooth on your TV. If only it ran at [email protected] on my TV it would be ok for me. The ideal solution for my TV would be 1080i and it's interesting that both my ex-Note 1 and 2 run at that resolution..

ok my mistake. today got the genuine hdmi mhl adapter from samsung and all is great 1080p/60. check my thread. the guy explained well about my problem. you will need mhl1 (I posted link where I bought it). it works on 720/60 and 1080i only
c'mon man are you kidding me? I have 2 MHL1s!! none of which works with Note 3. how else do you think I tested Note 1? MHL1 only has 5 pin and is for Note 1. MHL2 has 11 pin and is for Note 2 and 3.
ok... ok... so what do you have to do in order that Note 3 works with MHL1?
edit: just tried again with both MHL1 cables. they do absolutely nothing on Note 3. they only work with Note 1. they don't work with Note 2 also. Note 2 also requires 11 pin cable not 5 pin. Note 2 and Note 3 work with THE SAME MHL 2 cable. the difference is that Note 2 automatically connects at [email protected] while Note 3 automatically connects at [email protected] and there one more weird thing. Note 2 doesn't work unless a charger is also plugged in MHL2 while Note 3 works without the charger. for some reason even if I connect the charger it still doesn't charge the Note 3 while if I connect the charger directly to the Note 3 it charges it. It's a little bit weird. how come Note 2 gets charged through MHL2 and Note 3 doesn't? how come Note 2 connects automatically at [email protected] while Note 3 connects at [email protected]

please provide a link to your thread. I don't know what thread you're talking about. plus I tried both my mhl1's (I bought two by mistake) and... they don't work with my Note3. they don't even charge the Note3. plus I had a problem recently after I tried mhl1 and didn't work switched to mhl2 and the tv wouldn't connect to Note3 even by mhl2. it would flicker something from time to time but wouldn't start. restarted my note3 and the problem was still there. eventually I turned off the tv and turn it on again and it would be back to 'normal'... [email protected] so I taught maybe I should try again doing this with mhl1 and tried again mhl1 restarted my phone and tv a couple of times and with no effect. provide me a link to the thread you're talking about

when you use MHL with the Note 3, I had to have the power plugged in and the HDMI out to the TV and the last thing to plug in is the phone
then it works; you will see the phone on your tv. If you don't do the right order it doesn't work
I am trying to find a way to hook up the phone via MHL HDMI without plugging in power but I have heard of any yet
I played a bunch of 1080 videos on a 720 Plasma and they looked excellent including sports with motion
not working... it might have to do with the fact that the charger I use isn't an original samsung one. I'll try tomorrow with the original charger and let you know if it works
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
so I'm not testing this anymore. It was obvious it wouldn't work. I mean common, who are you kidding, not even Note 2 works with MHL1. Note 2 works, just like Note 3 only with the 11pin MHL2. the difference is Note 2 needs to be charged while Note 3 needs not. I followed your instructions and plugged them accordingly. even used 3 different chargers, the last one being an original samsung one. Nothing.

The Samsung MHL adapter works with my s5. I purchased it thru monoprice. Its packaged for the s3.
It only seems to work with the USB power pluged in. essentially there are three plugs on this cable.. the HDMI end, and on the other the micro USB (to phone USB 2.0 I believe) and the standard USB (to power brick).
behaved weird at first... (switched from connected to disconnected a few times) but then stabilized and work just fine....
only problem is you need to keep the phone pretty close to the power outlet (extension cord or surge protector).
all in all not bad for 17 bucks.
Hope this helps you guys.
