Just wanted to share what I learned yesterday and thought it could save people some time looking this up.
The Galaxy Note 2 supports both 11-pin and 5-pin micro USB connectors.
The USB OTG (On-The-Go) adapters only come in 5-pin, and works fine with the Galaxy Note 2.
I connected the OTG adapter to a USB hub, which was fine, and 2 different devices worked fine independently, but not both at the same time. My guess is, it is a power limitation that the Galaxy Note 2 provides through the micro USB jack.
If you want to buy a HDTV (MHL HDMI) adapter for the Galaxy Note 2, it is the exact same adapter for that Galaxy S3 that is 11-pin, even though the model numbers are different. 5-pin MHL adapters (for Galaxy S2) don't work on the Galaxy Note 2.
The HDTV adapter comes with a micro USB jack (5-pin), but although you may think it is a great idea to plug an OTG cable in there, it doesn't work that way. You MUST plug in your power cable. Why it was hard for me to find this info on the net or a youtube, I'm not sure. I guess I should have read the manual, but I think was more of a design thing. You wouldn't read a manual on how to plug in cables for plugging in HDMI cables and micro USB would you?
I can only get 1080i working at 60Hz even though I know for sure my monitor does 1080p. If someone can get it working with 1080p I would like to know how smooth it is. [email protected] is actually pretty smooth (I think 60 fps). Maybe I should have waited for the Galaxy Note II MHL connector? This is gonna bug me until someone chimes in.
Only putting this information out there because some of this wasn't too obvious, and maybe it will save you time. I also did a review for the OTG cable for the Galaxy Note 2, and another review for the OEM MHL HDMI HDTV adapter connected to a Galaxy Note 2 in this thread:

I just came across this post and wanted to say THANKS. I was looking for exactly this information recently and you are so right, it is very difficult to find. So thanks for putting this up. I Guess I'm still not clear why you need a 5 to 11 adapter. Is the Note 2 micro USB either 5 or 11? And the power cable that comes with it, is it also either? But the HDMI powered unit requires 11 plus a plug in to power some power source. Rather confusing. Seems like Samsung didn't put the engineering time into this that they did into the Note 2 itself, which is an amazing piece of engineering. But this whole HDMI solution is rather clumsy IMO.

Also a big thanks to OP for sharing. will be linking to this.
From my research (research doesn't = im right. Only confident) the Note II is an 11 pin micro usb. To achieve the best performance and functionality OTG and other adapters are best when 11 pin micro to whatever your going to. This means if you use a 5 to 11 conversion your only using a few available pins for a specific purpose. Essentially the Note II smart hub is taking advantage of the extra pin set on the 11pin micro that allows for in, out and multiple usb connections. The only thing it wont do is voltage out but that probably a good thing.
EPL-3FHUBEGSTA HDTV Universal Adapter (11PIN)
That is a direct 11 pin micro to HDMI from what I can tell . Sometimes voltage is used via HDMI to carry signal and smart control. I believe this is setup specific since some of the newer equipment doesn't rely on the extra juice. So in this case the need for a power supply is situational but not required 100% of the time. I would guess that its a good idea to use it when available though unless strictly not advised by a TV manufacture. The feed rating is usually in the user manual of your TV in the input details. Or simply ask the manufacture directly. Im sure a video/audio enthusiast has much more accurate data on voltages and HDMI so I wouldn't take any of this to heart until someone more official confirms or corrects this info.

I have an amkette 7 port usb hub powered by a 5 volt 2 amp charger. So if I connect the 11 pin mhl adapter to the note 2 and connect the supplied usb charger to one of the port, and plug in to the mhl hdmi adapter, I think it ought to work. Now my other query is if I plug in a few pen drives or hard drives, will it be detected?

Unfortunately it isn't that simple. On the Note 2 and GS3 it's looking for a specific resistance value to determine if a MHL device or OTG adapter is plugged in. I'd you want to do both that's a smart hub. I'm midway threw my hack project of this now. It has been done already but using a 11 pin to 5 pin adapter hacking that then strapping a 41.2k resistor on it and some soldering. Let the usb hub do the powering and your good.
My version is just more complicated version of the above so not going to go in to it till its done
I made the mistake of buying the MHL HDMI 5 pin adapter that came with the 5 to 11 pin converter (ETC-EIA2BEGSTA)
I couldn't get it to work. Even with the 5 to 11 pin converter it wouldn't work? It would be a $40 waste of it doesn't.

I'm really curious if it is possible to connect a TV, a keyboard and mouse "the cheap" way, without either buying a (in my opinion) very expensive smart dock, or bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

I am also following the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142357. But as you said, they use an 11 to 5 pin converter. I also do not want to use that (although it works and in last case, I´d rather that than the U$99 smart dock). So, if you have the specs I also wanna build one. Please post here you journey.

Thanks !. I had looked for these info for a long time to choose the right MHL adapter for my GN2.
So I chose the official S3/GN2 MHL adapter and it works fine.
Note that the new GS4 adapter seems to be compatible with the S3/GN2, even if the new capabilities of MHL v2.0 standard are not usable on the GN2. So it's probably a good idea to go for that new one (same price), in case you plan to change for a GS4 (or a GN3 ?)

I am also interested in a split cable (USB OTG on 1 side and MHL on the other), which would be more practical than the big smart dock (that I have bought too )
I have solved my problem. My phone is a phone now and for my tv I have bought a Mk809 iii android tv stick. It supports all my hard drives even the ntfs ones. It plays everything. Now, if I can only find a way to root it...

Hello,
I am also looking for a similar smart dock with USB-OTG, Charging and HDMI output for my potential buying of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. I believe this tablet does offer the same via standard 11-pin micro USB connector (instead of the propreitary Samsung connector used in earlier models). Please see my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566345
I was able to find a couple of smart docks, which are adverstised to work with GNII/III and Galaxy S3/S4, all of which I believe do have the 11-pin micro USB MHL connector. Please have a look at the following
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smart-Multimedia-Dock-HDMI-USB-Dock-Station-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-Galaxy-S4-I9500-S3/1439104485.html

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Multimedia-Dock-station-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-2-N7100-S3-S4-with-audio-out-and/1422156460.html
All of them are advertised to do all the functions simultaneously at the same time , that is "OTG + HDMI + Charging".
So based on the collective knowledge of the members on this thread, I need to know
1. Does any of you have tried this or a similar dock and found all functions to be working simultaneously and satisfactorily.
2. By a long shot, since S3/S4 also have an 11pin micro USB connector, have any of you tried or can comment on whether this dock would work with a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet. Theoretically and technically , i think it should but need your advice.
Thanks for reading and your feedback.

So Finally I got what I was looking for on internet. I was really disappointed for not finding a clear technical explanation for the new micro usb pin configuration of samsung devices, and its relation with MHL adapters and micro usb converters.
Just to make some points clear:
Note2, Note3, S3, S4 devices are all have 11-pin micro usb output, which means if you have an old MHL Adapter with 5-pin micro usb you should use a 11-pin - to - 5-pin adapter,
otherwise if you have MHL 1.0 (designed for s3 - 24Mhz refresh rate) OR MHL 2.0 (designed for s4 - 60Mhz refresh rate) you don't need pin converters.
For other samsung devices (Note1, S2, ....)supporting MHL feature but having 5-pin micro usb output, you can either use a compatible 5 pin MHL adapter (old versions...) without need of any pin converter, OR buy (MHL 1.0, MHL 2.0) and use 5-pin - to - 11-pin converter.
Summary
11-pin devices
S3,S4,Note2,Note3 <=> 11pin micro usb
MHL 1.0, MHL 2.0 <=> 11 pin micro usb
5-pin devices
S2, Note1, ... <=> 5 pin
Old MHL adapters <=> 5 pin
Mix and match between those two different pin configurations you need to use converter from 5 - 11 or 11 - 5
source of information
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link
Sorry for bringing this post back from the dead...
But...
So I'm already aware of needing the converter for the 5to11 or 11to5 pin in regards to the MHL adapter. My question - is there any benefit to having an 11-pin micro USB cord (as in, should I begin to purchase 11-pin [if available] micro USB cords for all my devices to obtain such benefits [data, charging speed, etc...] or is the 11-pin fad only with Samsung and it's purpose is geared towards data transfer and the MHL adapter?
I'm a little confused on the matter.

i know the older phones had it but i tried it on my cell just now and nothing =\ any ideas on how to get it working? i did read that we have mhl 2.0
Let me google that for you....
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+s4+mhl
Works for me. You need the 11pin adapter the old 5 pin will not work. If you had one from the SIII it will work.
Works fine. I used my 11pin adapter from my s3 and it's good. Amazon has 5 to 11pin Samsung adapters for about 9$ or if u don't have an mhl cable get the 11pin.

the cable being used in that video works on the S4 also
As I noted earlier my 11 pin adaptor works from my S3 works on the S4. I tried the adaptor without attaching the power cable and it worked on the S4 so we must have MHL2.0. With MHL2.0 the phone charges through the HDMI cable. Samsung has a new adaptor for MHL2.0 which is backward compatible for the S3 an Note II the one thing I don't know is if the 11 pin S3/Note II adaptor allows charging. I will have to see by using it with a longer Netflix show.
Ah cool!.... I tried my Infuse 4G MHL and it didn't work....

Yes you can. One side of the port can used with a standard Micro USB cable. The linked article even contains a note about it:
Although it's much wider than the Micro USB connector you're used to, the new port is actually backwards-compatible: a regular Micro USB cable can plug into one side of the port.

*goes to test on a USB 3 harddrive*
Bloody hell! It actually does! You can use a USB Micro cable on a USB3.0 port.
Can confirm the port works with regular micro USB (and Smart Dock, and regular USB OTG cables). Lucky enough to have played with a Note 3 for half the weekend just gone.
But you can't use a an apple 30 pin connector on a lightning port apple product, you have to spend $29 more per cable or risk damaging your device. Ah, the beauty and elegance of industry standards.

We had a noname MHL-adapter lying around, it worked fine with my gfs Sony Xperia Z but not with my Note 3.
I think it has to do with the pins, MHL 1.0 only has 5 pins vs MHL 2.0 which has 11 pins.
First thing is, we don't know what cable you're using... how many pins? 11 pins is required for 3rd generation MHL 2.0.
Also, we don't know what ROM you're using? Custom roms, especially non tw based, often have issues with MHL, or don't work with it at all.
More info, better help.

I'm getting the s8+ and I noticed it has the new usb c connector and I have a bunch of micro USB cords and I want to be able to still use them.

The S8 comes with a micro USB to usb c adapter. So yes you will still be able to use micro USB accessories.

Is the Adapter USBC to Micro USB or a MicroUSB adapter to USBC. I REALLY hate the microusb adapters. I've unplugged my phone a ton of times to have the adapter still sitting in the phone.

NOOO! This is the WORST design. I'm never even going to take these cables out of the box (Unless I need a MicroUSB)
All it will do is charge, but transferring data isn't going to happen.

You're WRONG. Of course that Micro USB to USB-C adapter has data transfer. Why do you think it doesn't?

The one that comes in the box with the S8/pus or even the S7/E does not. Even Samsung own manual tells you this. When he asks more than likely he is going to find the one in the box and use that one since it is "available" right out of the box. FYI I bought those Anker ones they do not do data transfers from my experience. I did 2 exchanges with Anker and they offered to refund my money. Yes I even tested different 12 cables, 5 computers, and phones(5X, Note 7, S7E, and HTC 10). Just because it says it doesn't always means they will work.
The half a dozen cheap third party ones I've had in the last year were limited to slow charging and no data

FYI, USB-C is not downwards compatible to MicroUSB (USB-C has 24 pins, MicroUSB has 5). You can come from MicroUSB to USB-C, but not the other way around.

At best, an adapter will give you USB 2.0 speeds for charging and data, and most adapters won't even do data like you experienced.
Best to splurge and get a USB 3.1 Gen1 certified cable and call it a day.
I have plenty of cables after I found these things don't always work. I found 1 that gave me data transfers but it was slower than 2.0 speeds. I gave in went to Monoprice and bought some beefy 3.1 cables. They are suprisingly thicker than a lot of the USB cables I have seen. The Samsung and LG ones seems to tiny in comparison.
It's handy to have a few of the adapters around, they are so cheap to buy I bought at least 4 for my Note 7. Just in case I am somewhere without a usb C cable then I can use the adapter in a pinch. I also have a bunch of good quality USB C cables, 3' and 6' from my Note 7. They are so much easier to use than micro usb. Can't wait to start using usb C on my S8 and S8+ next friday.
Is there any adapter usb c to micro usb AND change at the same time?
Thanks,

If you couldn't get it to work or all the others you mention, maybe you should ask someone who knows the difference between microUSB and USB-C port.

Other have verified what I said bro. I made a mistake... whoopitidoo. Note 7 you happy now? Do I need to show all my receipts of every one I have tried with the Note 7 including the Note 7 receipts to ensure I even owned a Note 7? Do I need to go and see if I have all my emails talking to their respective customer care I did with them to get most of them to work which ended up not working anyway? Do I also need to grab the S8 user manual with the words that say the one that comes in the box DOES NOT do data? So what now you are going to say everyone is wrong? Some of the ones you listed I purchased because it said it did only to get refunds because they didn't. Anyway I am done with you. You can continue on with your pissing epeen contest.
Okay, maybe i'm confused. Does it come with a USB-C cable and an adapter? Or is the charging cables MicroUSB and they expect you to use that adapter to charge your phone? The 128gb version has a USB C charging cable, no adapter needed https://youtu.be/3TkrWQQ7Je4?t=86
Edit: Okay, i'm an idiot. The Charging cable is Type C https://youtu.be/razfnztPtG0?t=135. The adapter is just for another cable you have laying around I guess.

The Samsung NOTE 7 manual says EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. Seems you can't read that well. It specifically says to use the MicroUSB adapter for DATA TRANSFER.
Here's the PDF link for anyone to read (go to page 11) -- but I've taken a screenshot of the Samsung Note 7 manual. Samsung specifically saying the microUSB adapter INCLUDED IN THE BOX is for data transfer, and even shows illustrations how to TRANSFER DATA OFF AN OLD DEVICE. Even talks about "transferring content" -- that's DATA if you don't know.
"Transfer contacts, photos, content from your old device" < Just with the "included connector" (microUSB adapter), not even installing "Smart Switch". So, of course if you plug it into a PC it will also transfer data.
Look, I don't know why you are pretending to know anything about this subject -- but you are spouting misinformation left and right. . That's 3 times now I've proven you wrong. You really don't even seemingly know anything about the topic.
Misinformation can hurt people and we have to correct it when possible. This isn't a "pissing contest" -- you are just ignorant on the subject even though you claim you read the manual and own the device. I just posted the Samsung Note 7 manual, which you claimed verified your statement. It refutes your statement, as I knew it would.
Feel free to correct your mis-statements about the microUSB adapter provided by Samsung not being able to transfer data, and that "Even Samsung own manual tells you this" -- when the manual even has illustrations for how to do transfer date using that provided adapter.
