Hello,
I´m wondering if the G Note has a TV-Out in Europe since there is mentioned one on the Samsung HP, but when i read the english or german manual there is nothing about this connectivity in it.
Since there are 2 versions of the Note (europe/world : 16GB/32GB, NFC no/yes) there is probably a diffrence here as well?
does someone know about it ?
someone here having a G Note in europe and can tell us, if there is an option for connection to a (hdmi) TV?!
thanks a lot in advance,
flo

My note for sure has mhl port but i dont have the cable to test it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Tried the samsung MHL adaptor for GS2, working well!
if someone have the note with mhl, can you confirm deny this?
GS2 with mhl was a mirror on screens of 800x480 on the ui, only 720p on video
will the mirror of note 1280x800 allowing to see good quality of mirroring games or videos from apps of the gui like youtube and dont look like pure crap?
Officially going nuts, bought a Pioneer AppRadio3 I have a Samsung Galaxy Note3. Desperate to be able to mirror (and control) my Note from the head unit. I have tried an official Samsun MHL connector, failed. Any suggestions, I came across the AllCast dongle. Will this solve my problems? If so, what's the setup routine? Many Thanks in advance
I used a app called ARLiberator on the Play Store to mirror my screen.

Don't think its up to date with AppRadio3 but I'm sure it will be in the near future.

On a Note 3? Also arlib dev is away from dev for a while as he's had some personal things to deal with
Does anyone with a Tab 4 have HDMI out working and if so which cable/adapter are you using?
I have ordered a cheap ebay cable for a Tab 3 8.0/10.1 that is supposed to have the Samsung 11 pin MLH usb plug. Does the Tab 4 use the same 11 pin jack as the Tab 3? I also saw a post here about screen mirroring for the 7.0 but nobody answered....the specs for both the Tab 3 7 and Tab 4 7 on the Samsung site show NO screen mirroring, only 8.0 and 10.1. That fact alone leads me to believe the Tab 3 cable will work.

I tried it with a monoprice adapter and it did not work, I did not spend too much time messing with it though,
I think the screen mirroring built in is via DLNA to a Smart TV or other DLNA receiver.

The specs say wired HDMI also so I am hoping the Tab 3 cable works. Is your adaper 5 pin or 11 pin, powered or unpowered. From what I have been reading the cable MUST be plugged in to USB power in addition to the tab for it to work. This is the one I have on order.

Yeah my adapter is powered but I did not have it plugged into USB. I'll try it again.
So does the Tab 4 (specificly the 8.0) support HDMI out? I notice that the US website and Best Buy mentions HDMI, but the canadian samsung website doesn't mention it.
The MLH cable I got from China does NOT work. I do have hope for the future. There are no HDMI adapters available from Samsung at this time even though they say wired HDMI is supported with an adapter that they have not made available yet! I believe the hardware support is there but it is not implemented in the TouchWiz software.

Hi I tried several adapters ordered by Amazon including this one Samsung ET-H10FAUWEGWW but no chance of getting HDMI a signal out.
Therefore I contacted Samsung using the Smart Tutor app of samsung and unfortunately after remote examining the device, they confirmed that MHL is NOT supported by this device. However this might apply only to the European versions.
So what, now I am so disappointed?! Does anybody know if Samsung maybe deactivated this feature in their ROMs, if so maybe we could get
HDMI out with a custom ROM in the future.
kind regards
Mjay
My first post!
I had this chat with a Samsung specialist a few weeks ago:
info: Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
info: You are now chatting with 'Shawn'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
info: Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK1125601075630X
Shawn: Hi, thanks for reaching out to Samsung pre sales support. We appreciate your interest in Samsung products. How may I assist you today?
Visitor: I am wondering which of the tablets support HDMI output
Shawn: I understand that you are looking for the TVs that support HDMI output. Certainly, I will help you with the information.
Visitor: Not tvs that support HDMI, but Tables, such as the galaxy tab 4 10.1
Visitor: i mean tablets
Shawn: Sorry for the mis-communication.
Visitor: no problem
Shawn: You could use the HDMI adapter with Tab 4 10.1.
Visitor: Which adapter? None of the adapters that i have found say they specifically support that model. Plus, as I I trying to decide twich model (7, 8, or 10 inch, I am not able to find out which models support HDMI, and the adapter that is required
Shawn: Please check the below link for compatible devices that support the HDMI adapter which is used to connect the Tab to the TV.
Shawn: go to Samsung dot com /us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ET-H10FAUWEGUJ-compatible
Shawn: Are you able to access the above link?
Visitor: Yes. If it states that it is compatible with the tab 3, does that mean it is also compatible with the tab 4? The tab 4 is not listed.
Shawn: Tab 4 has been recently released. Hence, it isn't listed under the compatible devices. It should also support the adapter.
Visitor: ok, thanks
Shawn: You're welcome. Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
Visitor: No, that is all, thanks again
Shawn: Thanks for chatting with Samsung Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue ?X close? button to receive the transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better.
Follow Samsung Service on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
info: Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
You have to be careful in choosing an adapter for these. The following one did NOT work for my tab 4 10.1:
Go to amazon dot com/gp/product/B00ESM3Q7K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But this one specifically says it does, and comments seem to confirm it:
Go to amazon com/gp/product/B00KGP5SEC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have one on order, and I will post my results when I get it and try it.

I wish you luck with the second cable you mentioned, but I read all 24 pages of reviews for it and the Tab 4 is not mentioned as working in any review. Half the reviews say it doesn't even work with the devices listed!
Most CS staff have very little technical knowledge. I would not put one bit of faith in a CS rep saying, oh it's not listed in the adapter specs but it should work...lol.
I would lay odds that wired HDMI out is not implemented in the kernel we have now. There are a few reports here that people lost wired HDMI out on Tab 3 after the Kit Kat update.
Well, I would think that the tab 4 would be supported as the tab 3 was, but that is why I am getting the cheap adapter rather than the official Samsung one (that one is around $75 on Amazon, but $35-$39 elsewhere). Having been in IT, I have found that most of the problems that people have are self induced, i.e. they did not read the instructions, or took shortcuts. It is worth noting that there seems to be two Samsung MHL adapters, one for the phones and one for the tablets. I do not know why they would do that, it does not make sense to me, as it causes too much confusion.

Samsung has a history of changing cables and adapters for various devices as this page explains better than most.
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/03/28/which-mhl-cable-should-i-buy/
I figure that they want to sell some $100 AllShare Cast dongles before they introduce an new hardware keyed 11 pin micro USB adapter!
I can confirm that my Canadian Tab 4 8.0 has the Samsung 11 pin micro USB jack.
I tried again after reading the reviews of that cable.....reboot both devices...powered from Tab 4 power wart....changed HDMI inputs on TV....screen mirroring on/off......NADA.....
Well, the Tab 4 does not support MHL. At the moment anyway. My 10.1 does have the 11 pin connector, AFAICT, but I get no results when plugging a cable in. BTW macbroom, my last post was not directed at you, just those who buy something and don't read the directions.

I recently purchased a AUVIO MHL adapter ( male micro USB to female HDMI) for my Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (sm-t530nu). It uses a external power supply and also included the Samsung 11 pin adapter. I had read on a website that it does support MHL so I didn't think it would be an issue. However, it did NOT work and I tried with and without the adapter. After some browsing I found a miracast/allshare dongle on amazon for 22$ with free shipping and it works like a charm for the screen mirroring. I did notice while browsing that best buy had a "accessory kit" for the tab 4 10.1 that included a wall/car charger, OTG cable, and a MHL adapter. It was a dongle that plugged into your TV HDMI port and had a USB port that you connected the tab 4s charger to. So maybe it does support it and they just made changes to the connectors pins. It may have just been a mislabeled product also, who knows.
HDMI for Tab 4s
I, too have been attempting to get my new Tab 4 10.1 to display via HDMI. And, like others, have had less than helpful information from Samsung's CSRs.
The setup I use with my Samsung S5 phone doesn't seem to work for my tablet, regardless of the order in which I hook everything up
I read elsewhere that the issue was related to the 5-pin vs. 11-pin connection, but adding an adapter for that in the mix didn't work either.
I'm not familiar with the Miracast/Allshare dongle - but that plugs into the TV, right? I had hoped to be able to display movies to a TV while on vacation, so won't know what type of TV (or associated ports) might be available...
I've found this EEEKit which is listed for the Tab 4 (bestbuy dot com/site/eeekit-bundle-3-in-1-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-4-10-1-t530mhl-to-hdmi-cable-otg-cable-sync-cable/1311158404.p?id=mp1311158404&skuId=1311158404&st=eeekit%20hdmi%20%22tab%204%22&cp=1&lp=1#tab=buyingOptions ) but no comments or reviews yet.
So, does this Tab 4 go back to the store?
As a side note: Does anyone else find that a tablet released several months ago is still considered "too new" to have accessories? Especially with a feature (HDMI and screen mirroring) that isn't new? Geesh!

As much as I hate to say it, the new Tab 4 is going back to the store! I spent some time at Best Buy with their in-store Samsung rep, who made calls to *SOMEWHERE* to verify that the Tab 4 IS NOT COMPATIBLE with MHL connections. He tells me, the only way to disply your Tab screen on a TV is through AllShare Cast. Of course, he was willing to sell me their $65 connector! Since I've already purchased MHL adapters to use with my phones, I really don't want to invest in something else for the Tab. Just not that important.
Don't forget that the Allshare Cast dongle checks the flash counter and other things and thus will not work on a rooted Tab 4 or any other device. Sadly nobody has figured out how to patch out the check yet despite it being a problem for quite a while.

Well it definitely does on the Galaxy S3. I couldn't get it working at all, searched the forums here, and found that information. Oh, and did your rooting change the flash counter or the official/custom status at all?

Ohh okay, you mean that Knox nonsense. No, sorry I didn't understand what you mean't by that. Sorry ive only owned a samsung for a few weeks. Ive only had a Atrix HD so im use to flashing until my hearts content with no repercussion. However, Towelroot doesn't change the counter on the TAB 4 so simply rooting shouldn't be a problem if done correct. That's pathetic however, they really take away someone's ability to cast their screen because they enjoy modding/ flashing their devices? Terrible road to choose for a company with such nice devices.
Well, the good thing is that Chromecast does work on the Tab 4's. The bad news is that screen mirroring is in beta, and only supported on a few devices, officially. If you search for 'Enable Mirroring from any device', you will fine a thread on how to mirror from almost any unit via chromecast. Even though it is beta, it works on my Tab 4.

HI Guys
I want to buy a MHL cable, but I want to make sure that it works. Did someone tried a MHL Cable on Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime ?

NO. MHL cable will not work with this device. Here is a quote from "GSM Arena" review:
Wired connectivity is handled by a microUSB 2.0 port, which lacks MHL, leaving wireless mirroring as the only TV-out option.

You can read the full review on the following link:
Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime review: Mirror shot
The issue of MHL is addressed on page 3 under the heading "connectivity".
Hope this answers your question. Best of luck :good:
So this means there is not mhl that will work with grand prime? Or is there a specific one?
Grand Prime does not have MHL capability or technology. So no, no cable will work, try a different "newer" phone.
Or you can purchase a gentrification mirroring dongle with no proprietary software. It allows you to connect to the same wifi and mirror with the help of miracast or airplay app from google playstore. I got mine from wish for around $10, shipping included.
