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....
Cool the GS3 works

No MHL?

I received mine yesterday, have been testing it all day, everything looks fine, no significant lag. One thing I cannot test out is the MHL function. I tried mt MHL adapter, it does not work at all. Can anyone help me test if this feature exists or I got a lemon?

Yes, it does.
This is the adapter I am using that I had bought for my Note 2 (I'm sooo happy Samsung decided to go with Micro-USB on this device).

Watch out community, I purchased this adapter from amazon

it does not work!
Anyone tried Nyrius ARIES Prime/pro Digital Wireless HDMI Transmitter & Receiver System on note 10.1 yet? I think this will be the perfect solution for wireless display.

It might be the older 5 pin version when the newer Samsungs have moved onto 11 pin adapters.
You could either upgrade or get an 5 pin to 11 pin adapter.

On a somewhat related note: Does this tablet have miracast support?

It should...it has a mirror screen function that works with Samsung all share cast hub(kind of miracast?)

The Samsung all share cast works as long as unrooted.

I tried the Samsung HDMI adapter I bought last year for my Note 2. It works for the Note 2 but not Note 3. The HML adapter will show like a dark snow effect and without it on it is a blank TV. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the TV resolution :/

same here, my MHL adapter for Note 2 doesn't work with this tablet.

You need the new version that they released with the s4

I just purchased the black on mentioned in the 2 post hope that works ok.

MHL works
l picked up one from Monoprice that came with the 5 to 11 pin converter. Worked fine with the tablet and my S3 watching streamed content with the Hulu plus subscription included with the tablet.

I'm sorry but I am not following this thread very well. If I want to connect my 10.1 2014 to a HDMI TV what exactly do I need (as has been confirmed to work)?

I haven't tested it but It works with my S4, says its compatible with Note 3 and Note 8 so should work on this.

I haven't tested this on my new 10.1 2014 yet, BUT
It works great on my Galaxy S 4 so I'm confidant it will work. I normally don't order generic and always go with Samsung OEM, but since it's near impossible to find a genuine Samsung one for a reasonable price I ordered from mycablemartDOTCOM since I LOVE their HDMI cables/adapters.

My Note 2 adapter works just fine!
I purchased the note 2 adapter from Samsung and it works perfectly with my 2014 edition!

bought this but doesn't connect
Cable Matters Micro-USB to HDMI MHL Adapter in Black and Charging Cable in Black 1 Metre* from Amazon.
It connects straight to my htc one x but not my galaxy 10.1 note.
Is it just not compatible or do I need to change settings on my tab?

My mhl works fine that I got for my s4. It also works for my note 3 with the USB 3.0. Since the galaxy s3 you need a mhl 2.0 adapter. They have extra pins. The old mhl won't work on newer Samsung devices

The catch being it is a battery drain. Net negative even when charging. You can not even watch a complete movie if streaming Netflix on the S4.
Near worthless as a result on the S4.

Does MHL adapters work on our Note 3?

So I'm wanting to play my Google movies on my flat screen and am thinking about trying a mhl adapter but didn't know if it works since our USB setup is different being a 3.0. Will I be okay just using the 2.0 USB for the adapter? Thanks everyone. It's either this or Chromecast.

Yeah it does work. The only thing is it used to play the movie on the phone to, but now it just says connected to hdmi. I used the 2.0 and it worked perfect. Crystal clear screen.

Thanks for that feedback. Would you mind sharing what brand adapter you used?

I wonder if there is an optimized mhl cord to take advantage of our dual slot 3.0 adapter for faster streaming.
By the way. When I was swyping the word "faster" it kept on outputting "gayer" lol 4 times. I think my phone is trying to tell me something haha.

This don't pertain to the mhl adapter but I ended up getting Chromecast. And just recently Koush the CWM dev made an app Allcast that let's you use Chromecast to mirror your device no cords.

I bought this one. I liked it b/c it had support for old MHL and my Note 3. I can use it on any of my phones or tablets.

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.

Micro 11 pin usb my Note 3 ROM 5.0 lollipop

Hdmi output + USB Host?

SOLVED

Since I just can't find any definitive answer by searching on google, is it possible to mirror S8 screen to a monitor while also being able to use USB devices (such as Logitech Unifying mouse & keyboard) and maybe also while charging the damn phone?
If yes, where can I buy such an incredible dongle ?
Edit: This video make it seems like it'd exists but doesn't give a link to buy the dongle...
