Nope, it outputs in 1080p. Why do you say that?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
No, it is played at 1080p and output at 1080p.

Just thought I'd let you know that the original Samsung MHL adapter is in stock on Mobile Fun

hxxp://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-mhl-adaptor-p29427.htm

Not sure about the rules on posting links so please forgive me if I've committed a faux pas
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
I should be getting the official MHL cable tomorrow, will review it after a lengthy test-athon :)

Gonna test

- Browsing

- Gaming (android and emulators)

- Movie watching

- 1080p performance for mkv

- 1080p performance for Flash (YoutubeHD)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] peadarog:
I'm glad you posted the non-link. I have just ordered mine. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] inzimam:
Can someone please test this with browsing.

Does the browser resolution fit the screen of the TV without distorting the text? i.e if I were to hook the phone up to my 32 inch tv would the browser appear as it would if I hooked up my HMDI pc to the TV?

Also, could someone check the operation of a Remote Desktop application and see if this also fills the entire screen.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Browsing is fine, no distorted text. Haven't currently got a RDA installed.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] atomikpt:
robbiekhan

once you done with the testing can you post your results?

say the link or post it in here :)

regards.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Sure thing :)

Playing n64 games on my 40" screen with a wii remote and classic controller. Awsome. Whe my friends saw me playing they though I was using a emulator on Wii, but when they saw the phone... :eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Can you tell me how you got these to work? I've not been able to with mine, and neither has anyone else. Its not been possible with previous Samsung's because they use a custom BT stack. I've been using my Phonejoy, which is great, but I'd much rather be using my Datel Retro Wireless controller instead...

EDIT: Just checked the thread for this app here at XDA and I see the 0.55 version changed WiiMote detection handling so it works on more devices - is it working now because of the update?!?! Can't wait to get home and try this one out again!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunseaker:
Does anyone know if the mhl adapter has anything special going on in that connector block or is it simply just matching and connecting the various HDMI pins with the corresponding Micro USB pins?

I looked on the mhl consortium site but wasn't able to find anything about the pinouts for the adapters or cables. Does anyone know what the pinouts are?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Hmmmn, even the updated WiiRemote Controller app doesn't work with the SGSII... How did you do it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
VERY interested in knowing this too!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sbcdk:
Thanks for hint. Unfortunately it is fake info from mobilefun. I ordered and cancelled my Clove order. Five minutes ago I got a mail that they will ship when the item eventually arrive.. Hate these lying companies.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] fergusstrachan:
Here's a cheaper one - seems to be compatible alright...

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-p29839.htm
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ludow:
Out of stock.

I stopped buying anything from Mobile(fun?) when I realised they are selling just air. :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
What do you mean fake info? Mine was posted yesterday.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
I recieved mine from them about an hour ago so don't blame them if you aren't quick enough to order it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] peadarog:
Mine was shipped yesterday, according to a mail I received. Due to Monday being a holiday here, I don't expect to see it until Tuesday, but I'll report back if I don't. I suspect they just didn't have a lot of stock.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] surfdev:
how did you get the wii controller to work with the SGSII ?

share please :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
I'm guessing BlueZ installed. I have it and can use a zeemote in n64oid.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] u23sjw:
Mine arrived today. Worked fine for browsing internet, playing videos, viewing photos, etc. That was with the phone charger connected too.

I was really hoping I could connect my external hard drive instead of the phone charger. Sadly, my phone wouldn't recognise any connection. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just not possible?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] snark_be:
Not possible. The MHL connection does not allow an OTG USB connection as well. It's either MHL or OTG.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] u23sjw:
Thanks for the reply. Kinda regretting my purchase now.

The fact that the adapter needs to be connected to the charger means I'm left with a bit of mess in terms of cables.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sbcdk:
Don't blame them if their site states they have the item stock and a confirmation mail says it will be shipped the next day, when they actually are out if stock? No, of course not. That wouldn't be fair.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
Well, if you had told us the whole story then you may have got a bit of sympathy...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sbcdk:
Hehe. Don't need that. I just thought it was the usual way of trying to score customers with a product they actually didn't have, so I wanted to warn other SGSII users :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
Fair enough.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Boal:
Is there absolutely no way around that?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
My video demoing the MHL cable which arrived yesterday.

[youtube]q2oZkKYtTYM[/youtube]

You can't plug in an OTG cable with MHL unless there's a way to split the microUSB connection but even then I doubt it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
Might try a powered USB hub.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
I don't think it's a power thing, more that when the MHL cable is connected it's dedicated to that only perhaps?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
That's the 2nd crap design decision then. First was insisting on power to use the bloody thing when all other HDMI phones don't need it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spartoi:
Do the HDMI phones charge when connected through HDMI?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
Don't think so but you have the option to plug in the USB cable if you need to. I don't think that forcing you to have power connected is needed as I can judge for myself if I need power. Seems like an Apple thing to do...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spartoi:
They probably do it because watching videos will drain the battery fast, and they don't the phone to die while connected.

Having the option to choose though is definitely better than not having an option at all though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
Maybe, but if they allowed the phone screen to go to sleep when playing a movie then this would save battery. IIRC the S2 can play about 8 hours video on a full charge and this would be greater with it only outputting to a TV.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Yes they do.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spartoi:
Really, then what the hell is the point of even switching to MHL?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] michaelko999:
can i use my sync and charge usb connect it to my usb port of my lcd and connect the hdmi to the hdmi port? no need to carry my adaptor. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunseaker:
To clear up few points. There is a switch behind the USB port which switches to USB or HDMI depending on where a usb or mhl cable is inserted. It is not possible to have both at the same time.

The mhl standard specifies that power will be supplied to the phone through the mhl cable. Now when TVs all adopt the MHL standard then it's not an issue as you'll just have one cable as the TV will be providing the power to the phone through the mhl cable. The current mhl adapter cable is basically just an interim thing until TVs start adding mhl support which will start this Autumn apparently. It's a little messy but I guess there is not much else they could do.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ashok:
where can i get one in India. will these guys ship to india

hxxp://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-p29839.htm
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rawat:
mobilefun.co.uk had it in stock yesterday! :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
This is exactly it, I actually forgot about the new MHL ports coming on TVs this year so this is why the power cable is needed.

You won't need to plug in a power cable on newer TVs with MHL enabled HDMI ports :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mikee883:
got mine and loving it

hi guys just thought i would give it a mention got mine on friday and love it angry birds is great on the big and watching the hd vids you record at amazing got mine from mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-mhl-adaptor-p29427.htm?referer=aff_aw_102463[/url] bit expensive but had to get it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rawat:
Did you have to plug in a USB cable to the adapter for it to work? I've heard that the official one doesn't need to have the cable inserted, and if so I'll get that, otherwise I'll just get a 3rd party one ^_^
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rocketrobot:
I got the official one from the same place, you have to have either a usb cable from a pc or power cable plugged in for it to work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mikee883:
mhl needs power

yeah unfortunately you need to power it but its not a big problem, would have been nice just to play straight from the hdmi conection but its all new hardware ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crypticc:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] stoolzo:
that one has been showing "back in stock 9-14 days" for the last few weeks, or am i imagining it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eitama:
Thanks for the vid!

Offtopic, but I have to ask, what widgets/launcher/browser/rom u are using there to make that look so well?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
My official Adapter arrived today... will test later.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sackynuts:
Can u turn off the phone screen while showing a film?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rafat90:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] rafat90:

When connected, my S2 isn't formated correctly as part of the notification bar is missing. Anyone else have this problem? (My TV is output at 1080i when the S2 is connected.)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rawat:
Probably because Galaxy S is 15:9, and your TV is 16:9
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Budske:
maybe this? http://www.expansys.com/samsung-mhl-micro-usb-micro-hdmi-adapter-for-galaxy-s-ii-217883/

yes... but in USA?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spartoi:
So there is no way to fix this then? I've seen MHL demos on YouTube and the everything fits perfectly on their TV.

Question. Usb charger world until you have tv with charging capability. What about after? are you stuck using the charging cable our forking out again?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kuro-fs:
is there a chance or is it even possible to have a mhl docking station with a remote control like they exist for iphone/ipod ?

are there any other stations like the "bizlink mhl" one coming out soon ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] michaelko999:
If i take my sync and charge cable and connect it in my tv. ( usb port - usually fot pendrive mp3 and picture) will it work?

M < -----------hdmi------------->TV hdmi port

H

L <----------- micro usb ------- >TV usb port

connecting micro usb on the usb port of the tv do chagre the phone
[Galaxy S II Accessories] takato23:
:O, now is on stock on expansys usa... that is just a micro usb to hdmi cable or has a microusb too for charge? Like this:

MHL options

On mobilefun.co.uk i can see 3 options:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-mhl-adaptor-p29427.htm

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-flyer-ac-m500-mhl-hdmi-cable-p28512.htm

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-sensation-mhl-hdmi-out-cable-ac-m490-p29367.htm

will all 3 work with the samsung Galaxy S2?

As MHL is a standard the flyer one looks quite nice?

Anyone any ideas?

I have just read and it says only compatable with ExtMicroUSB on the HTC version.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jojo2peter:
Hey guys, dont wanna open a new thread, but did anyone of you, who has the adapter already, tried to play x264 1080p videos?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mikee883:
Hey guys, dont wanna open a new thread, but did anyone of you, who has the adapter al

hi there yeah i did try but only problem is all the ones i:D have are just over the 4gb so didnt fit on the card will see if i can get something under and see if it plays
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jojo2peter:
Try to transfer it on your phone, there it ain't limited. My question is, if it works properly on the TV (without lags)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] red103:
Its only possible to play 1080i instead of 1080p?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jojo2peter:
No it's possible to play 1080p but Uncompressed... i don't know if it needs more ressources if it's compressed.

I know that the phone is able to play 1080p x264 but i don't if it capable to play that on a TV via MHL.

Does anyone know, which HDMI standard is equal to the MHLs
[Galaxy S II Accessories] domgreen:
Hi all, an update on the MHL cable from mobilefun I rang this morning and they said they have one delivery overdue which they will be chasing, but another one scheduled for Friday and Monday, however a backlog of orders which probably won't cover the ones coming in. The guy was very helpful on the phone though, said he'd hope to have one in the post to me by Tuesday next week.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dainesefreak:
Been waiting on mine for a couple of weeks now. They told me the 18th for their delivery so I just hope they stick to the delivery date now as I supposedly ordered when they were showing stock.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jojo2peter:
wow nice, i just read the specifications of MHL

regarding them, you should be able to control the device via your remote.

can anyone confirm that?

//Will try that, if I got my adapter :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] peadarog:
Interesting. They told me my order had been dispatched about ten days ago. There's still no sign of it. When I contacted them they said "well, we told you it could take up to 25 days to reach you"... I live in Dublin and normally post from the UK takes three days at the most.

Of course, the post might have lost it. We'll see if it arrives and when.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Can't be done right now, requires the TV to be MHL capable - there are no MHL capable televisions on the market yet. Once they come then this will work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lufcmattylad:
Could this be fixed using a custom rom? or CF Root?

Is there a possibility for PS3 controllers to work with SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jojo2peter:
Thank you for this useful information.

Too bad, that it won't work though :(.

Then it wasn't vain, to buy a 5m HDMI cable ^^ (for controlling the phone)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
When Cyanogenmod ROM comes out it'll work, since that ROM uses the stock bluetooth stack.

CF Root won't help at all (its what I have on my phone).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sdoc96:
FYI - I ordered an (official) MHL adapter from Handtec two days ago and I got an email this morning confirming it's been shipped, so they must be in stock.

However, it does not show that they have stock on their web site.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] children34803:
Handtec website shows pre-order MHL and i'm not quite sure abt due date.So if u get MHL adapter, pls post it. Mayb i'll order in later.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sdoc96:
That's what it showed when I ordered. Didn't expect to see the transaction go through the next day, then a shipping notice. All I can say is they probably have not updated their page.

I got my Royal Mail number and the number in "Track & Trace "shows:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] canedha:
Hi everybody,

could someone whos got already the cable measure the resistance between pin4&5 (and 1&2) of the micro-usb part of the mhl-cable? (see http://www.kineteka.com/Data/Sites/1/micro-usb-b.jpg)

that would be awesome!

thx, canedha
[Galaxy S II Accessories] red103:
Does anyone know here if it´s possible to have an 1080p connection?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kersh:
Expansys have stock and cheaper than official

http://www.expansys.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Apparently if the video is uncompressed it will do 1080p.

I note when I'm just connecting the phone without playing HD compressed video that the TV detects it as a 1080p connection.

MHL adapter not working

So now I've connect MHL adapter. The image appeared on my FullHD TV for about a minute and fell, and it's just not working anywhere. I tried two LG TV and nothing. Does anyone know what this could be or if it does not have anything set up? Thanks, otherwise I have Litening 1.4
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dainesefreak:
Mobilefun emailed me this morning to say that mine has finally been dispatched.

They are showing the Bizlink one as being back in stock in 2-3 days and the same for the Samsung one.

I dont have my MHL Cable yet but i did test the USB port on my Toshiba TV (used for pics etc off thumb drives) and it charges the phone so hope to be able to use USB from TV to MHL adaptor for the power, this should make the wiring a little easier
[Galaxy S II Accessories] anuj25:
http://www.expansys.com.au/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/

Is this the right thing to buy, also do i need any other cable to use this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
Of course, you'll need a HDMI cable to connect it to a TV/monitor. You'll also need a charger -- it'll keep the SGS2's battery topped up, as well as providing power for the MHL adapter, which has a couple of chips on it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idkwhothatis123:
There has to be a way to hide the status bar. obviously in numerous diff launchers, there is the option to swipe up or down to hide/bring back your noti bar. the noti bar lies within the systemUI.apk (or so i can tell via switching themes). anyone know how to edit the xml that allows for hiding the noti bar? it looks sick when i adb push the systemui.apk and it dissappears. Help!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubar:
the statusbar has the home, back, menu keys built in; its probably a bad idea to hide it
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sejanus:
I was thinking about this also. It would be nice for apps to go true fullscreen and overlap the status bar. Maybe its an app issue but Remote RDP Lite makes it awkard as when I set the resolution to 1280x800 the bottom part actually gets covered by the status bar.

I suppose I can set it to be like 1280x750 or something...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idkwhothatis123:
I'd like the option to hide it whenever.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubar:
this would likely require use of a hardware button, since I dont think android CAN support gestures that work over all apps, and I cant think of any other input method you could use

edit: wouldnt be a bad use of the power button since the battery is good enough without it needing to sleep and the lockscreen is sort of pointless because its not in your pocket. Maybe a popup menu on the power button like on phones?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoryPG:
I'd like the ability to move the status bar to the top. This would make it easier to access when I'm holding it with my left hand and resting it on my legs. Right now, if I move my left hand to hit back or home, I then need to grab my xoom with my right hand to keep it steady.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhausig:
One option would be to use the up down volume keys to move the status bar up or down. Volume could be handled more easily from the notification tray, it isn't as necessary as on a phone to have an alway accessible volume button.
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
I have not changed anything... I was getting 16+hours and still having between 15 and 20% left but the last two days I'm hardly getting 10 hours! WTF!

[Vibrant General] suchavibrantthang:

you using the phone for straight 3 hours? if yes that's normal.
