Droid charge vs galaxy s3

I'm coming from a Droid Charge with direct hdmi hookup to tv. 47inch 1080p capable.

I did a comparison with same videos. With the droid charge i get 1080i on television, no flickers, perfect sync, all apps work flawlessly.

With the galaxy s3 with ebay aftermarket hdmi mhl adapter i only get 720p (loss of quality is noticeable) on television + slight lag in sound (out of sync with video)+the tv display cuts in and out and i have to unplug and replug to mhl adapter + apps are hit or miss at different times

Overall disappointed. I had to buy the s3 unsubsidized.

Unsure if the OEM mhl adapter is gonna make a difference. Im thinking the whole adapter setup vs direct hdmi hookup is the culprit. So now i just swap my mem card to droid charge and watch movies via direct hdmi setup.

Will probably switch to razr maxx hd since it has built in micro hdmi.

Any input appreciated.

well in future its going to be better, but by the time is standard there is galaxy V, VI

Read the multiple MHL threads and you'll get an idea of what works and not. I haven't read any bad reviews yet on the official OEM adapter.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] radpp16:
BUY OEM!!!

Well just wanted to update you guys. DKYang is correct. I now have the OEM Samsung HDMI MHL adapter. no flickering. no glithces. all apps work great.

one issue. I still only get 720p output on tv. With my droid charge (has direct hdmi to hdmi) i get 1080i. The tv is able to do 1080p (with xbox 360, blu ray player). I attribute this problem to the adapter compatibilitywith my old 2007 television. But overall, I am glad.

As for a comparison, the ebay aftermarker adapter feels like a feather compared to the OEM HDMI adapter. It's like its missing parts. Also the usb and power supply plug in correctly and dont slip out like with the aftermarket adapter.

Buy OEM.

How to set the phone to output 24hz for movies?

In this video, my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9305 is connected to my hdtv with Mhl adapter.

I control it with DroidMote Server and Client. DroidMote Server is installed on Galaxy S3 and DroidMote Client is installed on Galaxy S1.

With DroidMote i can have mouse, keyboard, gamepad, multitouch touchpad and i can play also with all the android games that support only touch actions.

I have to disagree on one thing only, the default resolution of the applications is horrible, better to have a tablet or a pc onstick like mk802 with a real hdmi. is terrible to have the browser of that size.

I have the official MHL cable for my i9300 and for movies it's absolutely fine, for viewing pics and simple web browsing it's not a problem either, however when it comes to gaming (unless your playing mahjong or something slower) it is literally impossible to show any kind of skill, unless you have the ability to predict what is about to happen. Response on the s3 is fine, but on the screen there is a slight delay, i'll have to check out the Hz and res, but the TV's i have are pretty decent, both have been put into game mode and all post processing has been switched off so for response time it should be as best as it can be, both are good for gaming on a PC and for the likes of Modern warfare or fast paced games you really need it to be.

TV's:

Panasonic Viera 32 inch 3D HDTV LED smart TV on up to date firmware

LG 47 inch 3D HDTV LED smart TV on up to date firmware

Both cost a small fortune and for everything else have been spot on.

would really like to get this working, i have the six axis controller app on my s3, and attempted to use it to play Tekken 3 on the TV, just watching the PS logo come up brought back memories but the game play was just dire to say the least :( It flies on my s3, just not on the telly.

Surely it should simply duplicate the s3, shouldn't have to redraw the entire game for a second screen but it would seem that's what it's doing.

Will let you all know if I have any joy with it, if i don't then i'll try another adapter and see if it helps, but i don't have high hopes. :( very sad today.

PS: For the record i paid £27 for mine when it was released from samsung. :crying: They saw me coming.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
I just got the Samsung EPL-3FHU listed specifically for the S3. Hooked it up to my TV and S3, image came up right away. TV reports 1920x1080, videos look smooth. No flickering or anything. Haven't tried gaming though. When I watch the screen and the TV at the same time, there does appear to be a fraction of a second delay on the TV. For videos, it doesn't affect lip sync, either when I listen through the TV or BT headphones. Maybe it's enough for a game to be troublesome.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ponyboy82:
I have a third-party MHL adapter (the white one on ebay). As others have noted with theirs, it works great for general UI stuff and video, but for some reason games are choppy. For anything that requires timing, it's very difficult to play.

FYI, I found the Screen Standby app that lets you turn off the screen while still outputting for MHL, but unfortunately I get a ton of flicker when it's activated.

Does anyone have a working MHL with rooted phone with status "modified"? Perhaps samsung is blocking MHL on modified phones?

For custom roms:

You may need to edit the build.prop and add the following variables

com.qc.hdmi_out=true

ro.hdmi.enable=true

Reboot

Some roms will require the phone to be rebooted while having the MHL adapter plugged in WITH the power cable.

MHL with micro usb extension cable

Hello,

Has any of you managed to successful connect a MHL adapter with an micro usb short cable extension? The problem is that I have to remove my case everytime I connect my S3 to the TV. The original adapter of Samsung (5 to 11 pin) is large and doesn't fit in the hole of the micro USB port of the case (a SGP Neo Hybrid). I bought two relatively cheap micro usb mini cable extensions on e-bay, but I could not get any image on my TV. Without the refered extensions it works without issues. It seems that the extensions that I bought don't fit well in the adapter of Samsung. I'm wondering if this is a problem with the extensions or maybe it's not technicaly possible.

Thank you for any input on this.

Best regards.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zorathomas:
hello guys ..

first off, i have researched enough on these forums and found that there are many different ways to root the phone. each procedure is different and there are like 20 different images available.

and i'm a total idiot when it comes to dealing with the procedures mentioned here in the forums. i can't make any difference between .img, .sin and .ftf files. to me those are just extensions. what they do and which file to use, i have no sense with all that.

i have already unlocked the bootloader on my xperia s that had gingerbread 2.3

i have been suggested to upgrade first and then root the phone. for that i will have to re-lock the bootloader and there's a lengthy topic on that. plus, the warnings that scare me to death. it is specifically mentioned that i may end up bricking my phone if i re-locked the bootloader. the procedure for relocking involves downloading several files and doing lotsa stuff.

can't i at this point simply install a pre-rooted ics image and get up and running with a rooted ics xperia s?

which ics system image is best to load? should i download the one available on google docs? please for god sake, give me a step-by-step tutorial without using the jargons. dont worry about the beers, i'll definitely buy you a couple of beers whoever helped me out.

on a side note if u wish to call me names or tell me go change my diapers or something else, i'll do that later on. but please help me first lol. i'm a stupido playing with stuff i shouldn't be playing. but i want to learn and root my phone. my bf challenged me if i dare root the phone without bricking it .. so yea, lets see if i can handle this stuff. i really want to ...

***i'm really sorry for posting questions in the general forum. could a mod please move this thread to the q&a forum. appreciate ur help***

ever got into a book store? searching for a book on a particular topic but then u find 20 such books that relate to the topic? which one would u choose to go with? perhaps you should start reading all those 20 books and decide which one is the best for u. you could do that if you had loads of time to spend but if u had less time and your knowledge on that topic is zero. what are u going to do? you are going to ask someone who is knowledgeable.

its not about spoon feeding. its all about newbs like me who don't know nothing about this mobile world but still wish to learn. there is so much information on these forums that newbs can easily get confused. there are tens of different articles that provide loads of information but what can i do if there are like 10 different ways to root a phone. there are like 50 different roms, images, ftf, sin files and kernels and what not. i've read so much on these forums but all i see heavy techie words and jargons that are simply out of my understanding.

cant blame anyone for my little knowledge but just sayin that its pretty easy to get confused and do something that a newbie should not do. nevertheless, i'm sorry if i acted lower than your standards .. remember . i talked about the diapers .. guess i shud go get a new one cuz i've pissed myself enough in these last two days .. :angel:

I have downloaded the KA SSpeed kernel v2 and about to flash that on the phone. I have gone through this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1761778

== Installation instructions ==
Important! Only for unlocked bootloader
1) Flash the kernel:
- Open up fastboot and type: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
2) Enjoy it!!
I am not responsible for damage to your device, use at own risk!

open up fastboot.

does that mean shut down the phone, press and hold the volume up button and then plug the usb cable to computer. the blue light lit up and then i can run that fastbot command?

where do i keep the kernel files? should i put them in the fastboot folder?

and i dont see any kernel.elf file in the sspeed kernel folder. there are 3 folders: customize, meta-inf and system folders. no other files in the ka09_xperia_sspeed folder.

i'm pretty confused .. please help.

edit: should i use the flashtool to flash kernel?

i mean, i can fastboot the phone (blue light lit)

then i can run the flashtool (64 bits) and then flash icon .. fastboot mode .. and then click on "select kernel to flash"

is this what i should be doing?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Use this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729280

Download ics11 for fastboot.

Put the file in fastboot folder.

Open adb and type (fastboot flash boot ics11.elf) and enter then while the phone is off press vol up and connect the usb.

Edit: I don't know if you can use flashtools with fastboot mode to achieve the same thing cause I never use it for fastboot mode.

There's a section there on flashing custom kernel, just scroll down. Just download fastboot drivers and fastboot binaries if you haven't yet. And instead of the "Xperia_SSpeed_kernel_v2.zip" download the "kernelv2.elf".
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zorathomas:

hi ronin, no problems .. i've already installed the ics11.elf kernel. is there any difference between the two? is ics11.elf better or kernelv2.elf is better? are both pre-rooted or will I have to root the phone after installing either? i read on that page ics11.elf is autoroot. i guess it means the phone will be rooted automatically after installing ics11.elf, please correct me if i'm wrong ..

Need help from you

First of all thank you for taking questions. I am a verizon customer and have had the galaxy s3 for about three months now. I have had on and off reception problems since I got it but I was able to fix those problems with re-flashing os, but it is starting to become more of hassle and problem to have to do that all the time. More frequently now I lose signal and then get it back, every day this happens and I even missed calls from my family and jobs that I wanted to work for. Also it has not been only my phone but my wife's also, hers is even worse then mine and does that same problem every other hour now. I since have called verizon and talked to some nice support people about it and we went through the whole tech side and I have done everything possible to fix it software wise, so she reset the network to both of our phones but still no go. Now I have my first replacement for both of us and new sim cards in the mail.

update: I received the new phones and sim cards, everything was working well as I thought it would being the first time booting but after six hours the reception went hay wire, again.

My question to you is what steps can I take to getting a replacement phone that is not the galaxy s3. I talked to a lot of people and they have admitted that the reception was a problem with the s3 and that the Note 2 was built with a better antenna because samsung knew about the problems with the s3. I am a very nice person but I would love to have the Note 2 with the better reception. What can I do?

As with what Sun90 said, be extremely careful in what you do next! Download this nightly of CyanogenMod and flash it through recovery. DO NOT do anything other than choose the zip and flash it. That means do not use the wipe data/factory reset option, do not use the wipe cache option, and do not use the wipe Dalvik cache option. Just flash it. Anything else runs the risk of turning your Galaxy S II into a very expensive paperweight.

After you've flashed that, go ahead and do whatever you want, but stay away from anything that uses LQ5.
