[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacomoman:
Does anyone know whether or not there are any Persian/Farsi ROMs available for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1? (GTP7510)

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I've looked all over to no avail.

Thanks,

Ok guys, I know I searched but using the app didn't bring any results... anyways is it possible to get the epic on cricket? I posted a similar topic on another forum and someone said it wasn't possible due to my area. Now I'm going to go on a limb here and call bull. Since when does it matter what area you are in for a phone to work? Cricket uses sprint, and this is a sprint service area, so no worries there. And its not an AWS serviced area either. So again, no worries there. So how can I get this guy on Cricket? Reason I want to go Cricket instead of Boost for example, is because I want to avoid ESN swapping if at all possible. Any one have any suggestions here? Thanks guys!

There is a full walk through on here to flash to cricket/metro pcs with working mms as well. Have seen it in the epic forums, just not 100% sure where lol.

Just thought that this feature has been ignored by websites and even Samsung. Seeing the specs list, I concluded that HDMI out was not supported by Galaxy Nexus.

Then I stumbled upon Modaco, and in their review they did mention this functionality.

I bought a cheap knock off MHL cable from the market, and viola! It works perfectly. I am just curious as to why this feature was not announced and anyone failed to cover it.

XDA fellows are requested to share their feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
I agree with you that most websites have neglected to mention this function but it is pretty standard on new device releases now and in the Galaxy Nexus quick start guide it has a diagram of the phone with an arrow to the charging port the says Multifunction Jack.How is the quality of the picture?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talhamid:
Picture quality is superb.

One disadvantage is that the phone loses PORTRAIT mode while connected. The launcher becomes a landscape which is quite attractive. But full-screen portrait games run at a 90 degree angle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Great find!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
Which cable do you use there? Care to snap a picture and seller link if any.

I'm planning to get one myself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adriaaaaan:
I'm using a samsung gs2 one, you really get to see how high res the ui really is. The only thing is the density, It would be awesome if there was a "non root" way to put it into tablet mode.

Its even better with a bluetooth mouse connected
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
i got one of the cheap ones of ebay for mine and the pictures perfect on full HD stuff!

One problem i am having though is that now and then the screen will go black and loose sound for a second, it can happen a few times a minute or not at all for 5 mins or so but it keeps happening. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've not had chance to test on another TV yet to see if its something on there effecting it or if its the fact i got the cheapo MHL and not the Samsung one. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talhamid:
I did not experience it, but I hardly tried it for a few minutes.

The 'cheapo' cable I bought still ended up costing around 30 USD, so its cheap only by comparison. I strongly believe that it should be coming free inside the box since the functionality is there in the handset.

A few years ago those Nokia sets came with the TV out cable in the box. These phones cost almost twice that and yet.... There is a worrying trend to charge for peripherals - we already see wafer thin batteries in phones and then manufacturers rolling out expensive extended batteries. Next thing we know, they will be charging for chargers and headphones too.

Also would it kill Sammy if they'd just used a simple Micro-to-full HDMI cable without this MHL BS. it is a messy set up resulting in an explosion of cables under your telly, and since three sockets are involved, unreliable too.

Moto uses just a simple micro HDMI port in their sets. How hard can that be for Sammy or HTC to implement?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4nt:
I brought my cheapo one for £6 on eBay, very good picture and sound, had no blackouts yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Hi can you share link and photo of the mhl cable that you bought?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Welcome to nexus. Lol. What's wrong with mhl? Micro hdmi port has its limitations too but it does have the advantage of simple mirroring without extra power being needed. Other than that advantage a messy explosion of cables is still needed to do anything serious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talhamid:
1 vs 3 cables. Its all about practicality - it's irritating for me because in these days of batteries lasting barely one day, the charger is usually in the bedroom for overnight charging.

Although I did find a workaround - MicroUSB cable off the TV's USB port takes care of the charging side of MHL quite nicely :-). Clever me.

Also, MHL seems to be a mixed blessing for portrait apps. In HDMI mirroring the display at least switches to portrait when there is a full screen portrait game running. No such luck here. My Flick Golf looks like Angry Birds with MHL!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Completely unrelated: If someone could hack this into Android x86 as a feature, I would install it on my netbook in an instant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edude03:
I bought some random $12 MHL adaptor on eBay and while it works the reliablity isn't very great. When I plug my GN in sometimes nothing happens, sometimes it works instantly. Sometimes it works perfectly fine sometime it changes between analog looking static and black intermittently. If you're going to buy one I think you should just buy it retail as buying 2 on eBay (Assuming you get a bad one the first time like I seem to have) it will cost you the same as getting it retail.

Sounds a lot like apple's official iPad HDMI adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SS2006:
what is the HDMI out on the gnexus like, is it basically HDMI mirroring, or are you taken into some mode (like the atrix's webtop)

does it fill the screen at 1920x1080 if i wanted to stream netflix for example or a HD video from the android market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonii:
Mine is the Dvd player USB port :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
Are you experiencing the phone losing battery even though it is charging? e.g. it kills more power than the USB can provide? Has anyone tried the monoprice cable with regards to this? Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thirtynation:
Does using an MHL to HDMI adapter use any additional resources (RAM/CPU/GPU/etc)? I'd imagine it does since it mirrors, outputting to two sources at once (screen on the GN and the output jack). I ask this because the reason I bought one, well 90% of the reason anyway, was to use it for PSX and N64 emulators with a PS3 dual shock controller. I know those put a strain on the system in and of themselves, but it seems like they work even less well when using the MHL to HDMI adapter. There is pretty bad lag with some games, but others are okay (Mario Kart 64 was pretty bad, while F-Zero X seemed to be perfect). PSX is the same way, Intelligent Qube works well but Metal Gear Solid is almost unplayable. But when I don't use the adapter and just play it on the phone it's not as bad. The audio is choppy sometimes but game play is still smooth. Not so much the case when using the adapter...

No lag when using SNES emulator, so it's probably just the added resources needed for the more advanced emulators. Still, kind of baffling that its mostly fine without the adapter and not so fine with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Wonder if hdmi mirroring will work minus the nexus resources?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thirtynation:
It's weird, Android games don't have lag. Just seems to be certain emulators. Still, I wonder if using the adapter does demand more from the hardware causing slowdowns in other areas.

Zero lag using the same N64oid emulator playing Mario Kart on a GSII, an older phone. What gives?

Just ordered one from expansys, hopefully will be here before xmas. Either way doesn't bother me.

Does anybody know if there is a micro usb to HDMI with a USB port as well? Seems feasible to me.

Could you post the website? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RestlessDroid:
I bought a HTC MHL adapter from radio shack but haven't been able to try it out. Anyone know of a reason that it wouldn't work on GN?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
Is a USB charger plugged in to the MHL adapter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RestlessDroid:
It's just the adapter that plugs into micro USB with an adapter for full HDMI out and micro USB for charging. I figured the name brand wouldn't matter but I could be wrong!! Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnot2:
Can someone please check and see if when using the MHL adapter you still get sound out of the headphone jack or if sound only comes thru the HDMI. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmbeid:
Sound still comes out the headphone jack.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deekjx:
I had my MHL adapter before my phone came in. Ordered it so I could test day 1. I like it for when I travel. I can get my Netflix and my Dish network programming everywhere I go now. The last few hotels I stayed at even had an A/V control panel on the desk making the HDMI jack easy to get to.

On a side note. 4g and video streaming slowly discharges the battery when plugged in to a vehicle USB charging port. I'm not sure if this is true for wall chargers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isoman2kx:
anyone else having trouble with their signal dropping in and out with the phone + adapter? it'll keep playing on my phone, but the signal will drop in and out to my tv.

this is really frustrating me. I hear all of this about how awesome the Galaxy Nexus is and how it can stream videos flawlessly to the TV and now it sucks.

why? has anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edude03:
You mean drops in and out like what I was describing before?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isoman2kx:
You said sometimes nothing happened at all with yours and that there was a static(ey) sort of picture right?

Mine works 99% of the time when I hook everything up right (and when the power cable isn't slipping out), but when I get to the playback itself it'll go in and out. What I mean by in and out is that the screen will go blank (but not long enough to register a "no signal" message) and then come back. This process will stop and it'll play fine... then at random intervals it'll start back up again.

FWIW, I bought a Menotek Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter off Amazon for $17.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thirtynation:
Dodgy signal happens on mine, too. Still mulling over whether or not I should take it back for another one. The other "defects" that I don't have scare me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isoman2kx:
Thank Christ. I thought I was the only one, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
:D Call me anal but I ordered the MHL/HDMI adapter manufactured by Samsung. I figured if any are going to work best for my Galaxy Nexus it would be the Samsung one. Also, the description say's it works for the Galaxy Nexus. I don't mind paying a little more for name brand, plus it matches the phone too. I will report back once I get it shipped.

I would post link but due to forum rules I'm not allowed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isoman2kx:
That's what I was going to get next as well. Do post back please! :)

Well, I received my Samsung MHL cable and WOW does it work flawlessly! I am very happy for this purchase.

Anyone ever think of using one of these?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MHL-Micro-U...ltDomain_0&hash=item27bf5ec184#ht_1911wt_1396

I purchased a Samsung branded (but likely generic) MHL adapter off eBay. It works perfectly, but I hate the fact that a short cable connects your phone to the MHL adapter, AND you need to have a microUSB cable charging off the SIDE of the MHL adapter, AND you got a bulky HDMI cable off the END of the MHL adapter. The Genuine Samsung adapters have the microUSB charging port on the same side as the MHL cable. Then, the HDMI port is on the opposite side.

See Genuine One here: Slightly offset MHL cable with microUSB port on same side as MHL cable. Less of a cable mess.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EIA2UHUNBEGSTA?

See, Samsung Branded (but possibly Generic) One here... this is the one I'm talking about being a 3-way intersection mess

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-SAM...s=63&clkid=5270633580071998504#ht_2533wt_1163

See this diagram for hot mess of cables

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=375293

It'd be nice to have the microUSB charging port and HDMI cable all in one spot/same side to clean up the bunching of cables.

As it stands now, it's a three way intersection of cables that could've been made more streamlined... Like HTC has done here:

http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-rezound-tv-out-connect-via-hdmi.html

too bad the HTC ones cost $30+

Still, that generic HDMI cable with the microUSB charging port next to the HDMI male connector looks real convenient. Especially when your TV has a USB port next to the HDMI port.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I can vouch for the Samsung one. Works flawlessly aside from having to plug it in twice occasionally to be detected. Be careful with what you do though. Some activities can make your phone able to fry an egg.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drPheta:
Found this one on ebay. Makes the cables more coordinated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
Really, I haven't had to plug it in twice. I usually plug everything first then I plug the phone to MHL adapter last. I agree, it can get hot at times. Here's a tip, turn the brightness all the way down when your connected, it will help with heat.

This is the one I bought

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isoman2kx:
will turning down the brightness affect the output on TV as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
No, the brightness levels are controlled by TV not the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hobbitjack:
I just brought one, it was unbranded off of ebay, but have to say im not overly impressed. I have tried it on my Panny Plasma and my projector and both know something is connected, but dont display anything.

Only success ive had is connecting it to my Samsung LCD.

Any ideas how to get it working with my other displays?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bazzawhite:
I luckily have a Samsung TV as well and on the packaging it states that MHL is compatible with TVs with AnyNet capability. I'm not sure whether the Samsung MHL cable works with other TVs without AnyNet or not, surely that would be silly if you could only use certain brands of TVs. I also have a Sony TV which I'll test out to test this theory.

Also has anyone noticed that the edge of be screen isn't displayed completely. The onscreen keys are slightly cut off. Just an observation at my end, wondering whether I need to modify my display settings.

Also I wish that the phone display would turn off when using mirroring or at least dim quite significantly, otherwise it just wastes battery. I've had a case where battery drain was greater than the amount being charged from the power supply when playing games. I played Modern Combat 3 on my TV and I eventually ran out of juice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Think you have to turn of "vertical overlay" or something like that to get it to display the full screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
I bought an OEM unit from Amazon (sold by Amazon, not a storefront. Unit came in retail packaging with Samsung hologram and included warranty) and it has worked with my Sony LCD and my g/f's (slightly nicer, I'll admit) Samsung. It has worked when powered by an HTC, Samsung 5W charger and lower amped Motorola. It will discharge as long as the screen is on. It outputs in 720p, except when viewing 1080i/p video, it will switch to 1080p for full resolution. It cost $18 at the time.

Two weeks before that, I spent $7 on eBay for a non-branded MHL part that wouldn't output more than 480p, and that was only after I rebooted the phone while plugged into the thing.

Moral of the story: The real deal isn't that expensive. Don't be a cheapskate. MHL can be finicky as-is. Buy directly from Amazon, or get a deal from your cell co. I doubt the things move all that fast, so the sales rep would probably be happy to to just get the sales credit.

NOTE: Samsung has had several different models of MHL dongles. The current version has the HDMI out on one end, and the mUSB power in and MHL out on the other. There is no 2nd cord sticking out, nor does it plug in from the side. Though, if yours does that, it might just be the older model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hobbitjack:
I had to change the aspect ratio from 16:9 to scan or something. That made it fill the screen properly.

I lie, it wasnt ebay i got it from, i got it from amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-USB-T...UJE0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327351876&sr=8-3 .

Panasonic TV = :(

Hi!

I bought a 'no brand' MHL cable, and it works with my Galaxy Nexus on my PC monitor. But it does not work with my Panasonic TH-50PZ81E TV :(

The TV just get no signal at all, it's like nothing is plugged.

This is very annoying, I googled a bit and didn't find anything.

I'm guessing maybe it's a frequency/resolution incompatibility... Does anyone have an idea at which frequency the Galaxy Nexus output is? I guess the resolution is 720p but what about the frequency?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
This one on eBay works just fine for me with my Samsung 32" 720p HDTV:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350511195416

I tested watching a 22-minute episode when I had 33% battery. To reduce power drain I disabled auto brightness and used the app RootDim to set brightness down to "2". After the episode was over, the battery was at 35%. So it is possible at low brightness to at least keep the battery stable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Yumunum:
Name your pros and cons for having each. I'm deciding whether to get this or the 4S. Obviously you're on here cuz you probably have the GS2, so I'm expecting some good pros! But I also want to be aware of things I might miss or run into. This is probably easier for people who've had an iPhone in the past, but really, you can participate either way.

Edit: I'm also really concerned about battery life. What kind of battery life do you get? How long does it go without a charge, and what kind of screen-on time do you get? And how does this compare to the battery life of your past iPhone (if you've owned one)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] systoxity:
my gf has the 4s i have the gs2. her phone is tiny, its really disappointing to use. I used to own an iphone 4 and was very pleased with the os, now though whenever i hold one i get sad because there's so much goodness being spoiled by that small screen.

anyway, on to the part that matters to you: battery life.

This one really varies, when i first got the gs2 and android i would get about the same battery life as her 4s but i was a noob and had all sorts of background data going and wasting battery. Since i've downloaded juice defender ultimate and set it up correctly, i get about 24 hours or more out of the phone b4 needing to charge.

Go with the gs2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Yumunum:
24 hours? That's sweet. How much do you use the phone during that time? Heavy or moderate user?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ElectronicYank:
the only thing that iphone wins in is the connectivity with a mac (ical, address book, itunes) i know there are apps for this and while they are good, they dont match the easiness (IMO)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrmercedes:
I was an Iphone user since the 2007 when it first came out. I have had everyone one of them since. I just switched to the SG2 from my 4S and I absolutely love this phone. Yeah, the Iphone has a polished OS, but I had to jailbreak it to use any of the better functions.

I rooted and put a rom on this puppy and I get 48 hrs of battery life moderate use. If I go heavy I can easily get 24 hrs...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hurley81388:
i have the skyrocket now and i'm really disappointed with it. longtime 3gs user and android is definitely less polished with many more force closes than ios. another thing is that you're always worried about whether or not an app is poorly written and just spinning in the background. i don't have energy to deal with such things- when i download an app (words with friends or facebook are two really good examples on android vs. iphone) i just want it to work and not screw up my phone. yes, i know there are other apps other than words with friends but everyone i know uses words with friends and i don't think i could convince everyone to switch over just to play with me.

that said, yes you can do a lot more but you really have to mess with all the settings to get them just right. and even then the battery life is awful.

i'm a med student so i spend long hours studying and listening to music on my phone. with my 3gs i could easily get through a 12+ hour study session listening to music the whole time with frequent browsing to look up drugs, diseases, etc.

yesterday i was in the library for a little more than 10 hours with my skyrocket (on wifi the whole time) and it was at 10% when i left whereas the 3gs would be 50%+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PatriotXT92:
The skyrocket has much lower battery life than the Galaxy S II because of the 4g. I usually get a whole days worth of usage out of mine (14+) by the end of the night with about 2-3 hours of screen on time and still have about 40-50% battery left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Silenus21:
I had an iPhone 4, before 3gs and 3g.

I hated having to wait for jailbreaks to use some features.

Hated Itunes with a passion. :p

The OS felt boring without jailbreaks.

Bluetooth is closed to share files, songs with other people.

Can't use it as a mass storage device, everything from pc have to go through itunes.

Means you can't copy files directly from other pc, have to rely on third party apps like dropbox which sucks for big files.

Only thing I miss is Activator, which is a jailbreak tweak.
