I've yet to receive my Note but coming from a GSII I can answer a few things.

Unfortunately, yes you will need to have a power cable plugged into the MHL adapter, and I don't believe there is any workaround.

The effective resolution on the TV will be mirrored from the phone's native resolution. So a phone that is 480x800 will only mirror that resolution throughout the OS. Only when playing HD content will the phone put out 720/1080(p/i) effective resolution.

The great thing with the Note is that because the native res. is already 1280x800, that will be the res displayed on the TV which will be great for web browsing as that's about an average laptop res.

Any MHL adapter should do. I bought a cheap one from expansys and it works without a hitch. Just read any comments on the product to see if previous buyers said it doesn't work on a recent device.

I bought genuine Samsung from Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LGUDKK/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

It arrived as advertised and works great!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Goodm7sn:
thank you for the feedback , i bought http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0060Z8CYK from amazon uk , it has a discount on it for the time being.

will report once i get it.

cheers

I bought a non Samsung one on ebay and am having problems. The connection keeps breaking down and re establishing (the video on the phone continues). I've tried 3 chargers and 2 cables. The MHL adapter gets warm also. I was looking into getting a genuine version from Samsung and looked at Amazon (UK). 1 reviewer had doubts about the authenticity of the device he received, fearing it to be a counterfeit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DarkShot666:
I had this issue a couple times on my GSII and I found that using SetCPU to lock the clock speed up to 1GHz+ [depending] helped and basically removed the issue, so give that a try and see if it did anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Goodm7sn:
charging through HDMI

isnt the HDMI TV port supposed to charge the device , or provide enough power for the adaptor to work ?

not all models can provide power through HDMI but some newr ones can i suppose ? i read that somewhere so long ago but i cant find it anymore to link as a reference , though im not quite 100% sure of that , ,may be it me saying non-sense ??

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] 4braid:
Thanks for the advice. Have just installed setCPU with minimum speed of 1000 but still getting disconnections. Am not sure, however, how to use setCPU so the min CPU speed might not have been saved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DarkShot666:
From what I recall, TVs that support MHL will provide the adapter with power so the power cable can be used to charge the phone while plugged into the adapter. I might however, not be 100% correct.

Odd. Have you tried to set SetCPU to performance with the top clock speed at 1.4GHz or higher? That could potentially help.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] 4braid:
Will give it a try, thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] manu_katz:
Hi there !

I've got the same problem than you, 4braid. Connect/disconnect every 1 or 2 minutes while playing a movie. Perhaps is it a software problem ? I use MX Video Player. What is yours ?

Samsung told me that SGS 2 cables were ok and, more than this, that every MHL cable should work. So, do we need to buy a Samsung cable to test ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] 4braid:
Hi, I am using the default player but I don't think it's the problem as the video continues to play on the phone when the TV cuts out. Also, I've tried playing Asphalt HD through the TV and the same thing happens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] manu_katz:
I'm gonna try another better HDMI cable and another app, just tu know if it's better. Perhaps will I have to try also with the branded Samsung MHL cable ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] friedje:
I bought a non-samsung aswell.

Tried it and it works flawlessly on my LG plasma.

Tried several apps and sources.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] manu_katz:
Hi,

I think I got a clue ! :D

In fact, it's not so easy to explain but I'm gonna try...

I have put my new HDMI cable between my Galaxy Note and my HD tv. I have watched a new movie with the same video player (MX video player) and I notice great results : no disconnections ! I was very excited and tried the movie that I was watching last time with problerms. And, then, no problems this time ! So happy again ! :D

But that's not finished. Listen...

At a moment, it cuts ! And 4 seconds later my phone rings. I answear and watch my movie again. A few minutes later, a new cut ! And 4 seconds later, my phone rings a second time. I don't answear and the movie goes on. 15 seconds later, my movie stops again and my phone ring to show me that I have a message.

It seems that the phone network is not transparent in that case. More, that not only the fact that phone calls stop the MHL transfer (like the camera application do) because, otherwise, the signal should have stopped at the moment of the phone rings and not 4 seconds before. These 4 seconds are the time, for the phone, to switch between Wifi network to 3G network ! And, that's a fact, I was connected with Wifi during time where my MHL connection worked.

I'm not sure of being clear in my explanations but, if you ever put your phone near a amplified device, there's a symptomatic noise every x seconds or minutes when the phone look for a signal on the phone network (something like bzzz bzzz bzzz). Well, I think that each time that event arrives, the MHL link is "broken" for a little time.

To be sure, I tried somethig else : I have disconnected Wifi and used only 3G network and my disconnections returned back frequently ! I have reconnected my phone to Wifi and I have no disconnections problems again !!

So strange, isn't it ??

Perhaps the distance between my phone and my tv plays too ? It seems that a good quality HDMI cable is a good thing too.

Well, 4braid, could you try to use Wifi a short moment (or even cut the phone network by puting your phone in airplane mode) to test and tell me the result ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] 4braid:
Hi manu_katz,

You are a true genius!!!

Switched to flight mode and played a video with no problems (even tried a game).

Cancelled flight mode and signal to TV lost in less than a minute (video continued on phone). After picture returned to TV I called the phone from my landline and as soon as I pressed the last digit of the telephone number the signal was lost and 4 seconds later the phone rang. Also happened when I sent SMS to myself. I suppose this will happen every time the device "phones home". Many thanks for your info. you have saved my from buying a genuine Samsung MHL adaptor.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] manu_katz:
Great to hear I was right ! :D

Me too, I have seen a movie entirely, yesterday night ! ;)

As I said, perhaps is there ways to correct the problem without need of cutting 3G network (like the fact to use a branded cable or the distance between phone and tv) but for now we find the way to use our f*** not branded cable ! Lol !!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
Are you able to see the srt subtitles on the tv screen with the mhl cable? I can only see them on the phone screen but not on the tv.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DarkShot666:
I've encountered that issue too. It's a shame unfortunately, but the only way I've found to get them to work is to use software decoding. It's a downer, but it does work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dgco86:
I've got a strange problem with my third party cable (similar to this one: http://www.lunashops.co.uk/goods-935.html). It seems like the output is cropped on the top and bottom (so the notification screen and dock are cut off). I've already tried all the aspect ratio settings on both of my TVs (1 HD Ready and 1 Full HD), so that isn't it. Has anyone else experienced this before?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ultra99:
So you guys recommend the original, like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LGUDKK/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

Good deal?

What if I have a regular projector where I normally plug VGA to it and the laptop for presentations. Can I do the same with the Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] manu_katz:
Got the same. But, I'm not sure that branded cables don't have this too. Any answear from branded cable owners ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Goodm7sn:
i bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0060Z8CYK

so far , its working with no major problems at all...

the only "problem" i faced is that it doesnt fir into the micro usb port on the phone with my nillkin case on ! guess its the case's fault that its designed with very tiny holes.

however ,i recomended this MHL cable , price is good too i guess..

hope this helps

cheers

Have the original one for the note and 16:9 1080p mkv played through dice player is shown fine without any borders on my Samsung HDTV.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ultra99:
I guess I'll go with the original just to be on the safe side.

Just get the genuine Samsung one

I got the genuine Samsung one;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0051D3KQW

Although this item is listed by Amazon as for the Galaxy SII (S2), I can confirm that it works perfectly with the Galaxy Note.

I use MX Video Player Pro, and plugged the adaptor into my Toshiba Regza 37XV635, so I can control the playback using the TV remote when it's switched to Regza-Link (Tosh's CE Link implementation) mode on the remote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dgco86:
I've tested the cable on a few other displays with HDMI built in. On my HP 23'' 16:9 monitor, the screen is cropped. On my LG 24'' 16:10, there's no cropping at all. Does this have something to do with the Note's 16:10 aspect ratio?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Twohothardware:
Monoprice.com has an MHL adapter which should work and is only $10. Their about the #1 place everybody uses to buy cables and adapters due to them being high quality at low prices and have a 30 day money back guarantee if it doesn't work.

Get the Samsung One

Hi

Spend the extra and get the Samsung one. Its better made, smaller and tidier than all the fleabay/amazon marketplace ones.

I originally bought a fleabay one, but it was not reliable when powered from a PC that was close-by, nor from the Samsung 'travel adapter' (display cut out). It did work OK from the 1A charger that Samsung supplies with the Note.

The Sammy original MHL works fine from a 0.5A USB supply with no display issues.

I think I need this coz in the other roms the text are black and its hard to read. thanks.

Where is the avatar anyway? Can you tweak it to look like the same avatar style like in Handcent SMS? The avatar of the sender should be in the left and the avatar of the receiver is in the right so that we can easily distuinguish unlike we have only ME and (receiver name?) as indicator.

Have you TICKED the correct permisions? Check it carefully again.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] onlyu132:
Of course I ticked the right permissions. I did everything as the instruction, and everything is fine, except I can't send sms. After that, I restored GDX's stock sms app and it didn't send sms either :(. I don't know what 's wrong. Go sms or handcent still work fine.

Sorry for my bad English!:D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] _Sparks:
I think it work on MiniCM7:

Wot exactly r u talking about, i dont understand:confused:

Wots the point of having an avatar, as there is an avatar in the beginning before u enter the thread.

Replace the original mms.apk back and see if u can send messages. Also wait and see what happens after it says "sending", if u get a notification saying message not sent then its not working. Mayb its not compatible with stock ROM? Also make sure the number your sending to is correct.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrimonk:
Hey everyone,

So, I rooted and flashed my SGS2 back in july... everything went perfectly... but the Asus that I used to flash has been sold, and since I flash using CWM, not odin, I had not even realized this.... until I had to root and flash my mom's i9000m

My new HP is having a really hard time trying to detect any of my android devices. Here is what I tried:

- USB debugging is most certainly on

- Putting phone in download, plugging into laptop, letting install drivers - NOTHING in odin

- Finding the samsung usb mobile device drivers on tutorials on the internet - NOTHING in odin

- Installing kies, letting that install drivers - still nothing in odin or kies

- Try different USB port

- Try different USB cable

- Try pulling the battery and sim

It definitely is not the phone, because my SGS2, or my parents S vibrant or S captivate are detected by kies or odin. Also I can get a connection to storage when phone is on, ect.

Is there anything I missed? This new HP is starting to piss me off lol. Everything went to smoothly on the Asus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
did you turn off usb debugging. it interferes with the connection

settings - applications-development.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrimonk:
If I turn off USB debugging and enter kies mode while the phone is on (normally) it will say Connected...on the phone, but my laptop does not detect anything, kies is still waiting for a connection.

Ideally I want USB Debugging on, as I want to connect to odin, not kies. But as neither is working... I figured I would just see what I could get to connect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
SGS2 Connect

Power off phone

Install Kies

Power on phone start Kies connect Samsung USB cable .

Let Kies find phone .

NO

Then try Kies not running put phone in USB Mass storage mode connect cable wait for windows to find USB mass storage device and install drivers .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shehrammajid:
My battery life was that bad no matter what I flashed. Then finally I stuck with a rom (stock) and slowly it started getting better. Took like a weekafter calibrating, but now I can do 20 hours with no changes (all stock 40% brightness autosync on). My advice: stick with a rom Amd wait it out. Battery should get batter everyday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a4 moda:
Remember to wipe

Cache/ Partition

Factory Reset

FLASH

THEN wipe DALVIK CACHE after you flash.

You must must do a factory reset. Bombadier doesn't work correctly without it.

I never had to calibrate the battery if I did the steps above.

Bombabidier gets me 20-30 hours of heavy use.

and Poster #2 is correct. You have to wait it out at least 3 days of use before you see any steady battery #s.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeoandGeo:
The ONLY phone it will be fun to play on, imo. Wonder if they are having trouble with the power of our phone? If so, I wonder how much an OC'd Play would help. It seems that list is filled with very powerful single core devices, and dual core only.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
All supported devices are Tegra 2 or 3, apparently.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
This dual-core only **** is the most stupid crap i ever heared. This does not have better grafics that shadowgun wich runs completly lagfree on the xperia play. Also it runs on iphone 4 and the Xplay has better hardware that the iphone 4, and the ultra low power gpu in tegra 2 (yes it is called ultra low power^^) is not really better than our adreno205. But for now i dont care anyway becouse my hand is broken so i cant play :(:( (look at signature)

One more thing. Here are the orgininal recomended specs of gta3:

CPU: 800 MHz

RAM: 128 MB

GPU with 32 MB RAM

The Xperia Play passes that easily. But maybe this is not compareable to the Android Version.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
For starters the iphone 4 is also.a dual core device, the gpu in the tegra II is called ultra low power because it uses less power to run (batteries) than other GPU's not because it's less powerfull.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
The Iphone 4 is definetly not dualcore. It has a Singelcore Samsung CPU with 1 Ghz and a PowerVR SGX535. And about tegra 2 yes i know that is the real mening of the name but it actually is less powerfull than other gpu's:D:D Or not more powerfull than gpu's of singelcore devices if you want it that way.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
have they said anything about button mapping for bluetooth pads maybe we could use chainfire 3d if tegra. Just like could use play controls on riptide before play version.
