[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
Hi I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 MHL/HDMI Adapter so that I can mirror my Galaxy Note II to TV.

http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s3-mhlhdmi-adaptor

Basically what I'm trying to do is to be able to connect simultaneously this adapter with my external HDD 500Gb.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intenso-6021530-500GB-External-Drive/dp/B0056ZOLXQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358358015&sr=8-1

That way I will be able to carry all my movies in the HDD and being able to play it through my mobile at TV.

Now when I connect the drive alone(non externally powered) to the mobile through USB OTG cable everything works fine.

That's the case when I connect the MHL adapter alone in the mobile. It works great.

My problem is when I try to connect BOTH the HDD and the adapter together. That way I can open my mobile navigate to my HDD and open the video file and play it at any given HDTV. But I can't find the right configuration to make it work. Now the first thing that comes into mind is a USB hub. I try to use this one I own with 3 slots I have but with no luck.

http://www.tomatoflash.com/products/product_detail.php?Cate=products&label=15&dSN=16&tSN=85&mSN=45#03

What I do is the following. I connect the HDD directly to the hub through usb. I use a usb to usb cable to power the hub. And on the third usb slot of the hub I power the MHL adapter. To the mobile goes the micro usb male cable of the MHL adapter.

Now what happens is that the MHL adapter as expected works fine, but the HDD, while it seems to power (green light on the HDD) cannot be recognized from the mobile.

I believe this happens for either 2 reasons.

First : There's no way the mobile can see the HDD through the hub this way (could an externally powered usb hub help I wonder??)

Second : I need to have a dual micro usb female to micro usb male cable (which doesn't exist??), so that I can directly connect both the HDD and the MHL adapter on the phone.

Below is a photo of the connectivity if it helps

http://i50.tinypic.com/2myw2rl.jpg

So what do you think I'm doing wrong or what do you suggest in terms of connectivity?

Thanks in advance for your help and ask anything to clarify if I made things complicated :p

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Can any of us resist trying the next ROM leaked from Samsung when it can be done without losing root or generating that annoying yellow triangle every time you reboot? Not me!

Thanks to SexTape, Agat & Leaderbuilder, I went from FL16 to GA10 quickly & painlessly by doing the following using Mobile ODIN Pro:

Installed the GA10 Modem from my SD card.

Rebooted and saw that GA10 modem works fine with FL16 ROM.

Installed GA10 ROM

After the auto reboot, went through the usual setup of my Gmail account & app restoring.

Tested WiFi, BlueTooth, several apps including Beautiful Widgets which installs on SD card. All fine.

Used Quick Reboot app (free at PlayStore) to reboot into CWM and as expected, it was the stock 3e.

Rebooted and used Mobile ODIN to install Agat's FL16 v0.3.2 recovery after making sure I had a checkmark in the box to clean the Davlik Cache during the install process.

SUCCESS!

Rebooted into ROM then rebooted into Agat's recovery, made a backup & rebooted into GA10.

Bottom line; Agat's FL16 0.3.2 recovery appears to work perfectly with GA10 Stock ROM

AND by following the steps above, I did NOT lose Root or make the yellow triangle appear!

Glenn ;)

P.S. Here are some additional install details provided by Leaderbuilder:

When you grab the GA10 modem and the .tar file make sure you've extracted the ROM tar from the zip file! It should be approx. 886MB.

Place both on you external SD card.

Boot into a current CWM recovery (I'm assuming Agat's FL16 repack) and flash the modem. Then reboot.

Now open Mobile Odin and scroll down to 'Open File' and select the CODE_SPH-D710.GA10_818252_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file.

Make sure you 'enable everroot' and 'inject super user' checked too! Use Mobile ODIN Pro Version and you should have no issues.

You will be told that the 'following partitions have been set:

Kernel, system, data, cache, param, modem, hidden.

Then choose to 'flash the firmware' let it check the MD5sum too.

After checking it will reboot and flash the ROM

Remember Mobile Odin does not flash modems; that is why you have to do it first/separately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dz1:
Sweet thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alammori:
Yes, your rom and modem are now GA10 but your kernel is now FL16.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Moved to more appropriate General section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
You know, one other thing I noticed is that Mobile Odin can't repartition or flash bootloaders.

So I still have to recommend going to the PC at least once in a while to flash.

Also, the point is valid - without flashing the kernel you're not getting all of the GA10 benefits.

For example, the Exynos exploit patch is in the kernel.

Easier is to do my rooting method for one clicks:

1) Flash stock kernel

2) Flash Agat's repack and then apply subusybox.zip

(Can post link again if needed)

3) Flash back to stock kernel

I'm just wondering if there were any ROM's that supported the GT I9305T and where can find them. If at all possible, how do I install them as well.

Another thing would be that I've already rooted my ROM with Chain Fires Auto Root Method. Was there a proper CWM recovery anywhere as well?

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT; the only minor thing you may have to worry about is the modem, as some i9305 ones may not give you as good coverage/ data speeds... however all ROMS iv'e come across have no included a modem so i still have the stock modem that came with the phone which works best (Telstra AUS)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Pheoxy:

The Recovery worked and I'm going to back up my IMEI / NV Data before I try a custom ROM.

I'm also wondering if we should make an INDEX Thread for all the I9305 - I9305T Devices for things like latest ROMS and How To's. It would make finding everything easier and we would be able to keep up to date.

I'm looking for a way to get the tablet UI back on 4.2.1. Every thread I read, the offered solutions were for the WiFi devices only. I sincerly hope I just misread or didnt read the appropriate threads.

I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.

The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life. :p

But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.

Good luck with choosing a phone. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!

Rumours are that Android 5.0 will come in May/June. Since Sony provides needed sources, I guess SGS4 users will wait longer for stable build than Xperia Z users..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:
I would go with the Xperia Z, I'm actually tempted to get one myself this time around, mainly because it water & dust proof, camera looks pretty decent aswell.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -A-P-M-:
Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_codrut:
For me it is time to try other brands.

Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.

If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
The Xperia Z looks nice, but the full HD display doesn't convince me. It has the same chip as the Nexus 4 but has to push a lot more pixels, it's obvious that the performance is going to be better on the Nexus. Plus this Sony-Dev relationship is probably just a temporary thing, I bought Samsung for the same reason and they disappointed. The Optimus G specwise would be the perfect choice for me, but lg's software has always been bad with slow updates, there doesn't seem to be much dev support for it and they don't sell it in Italy!

What I would love is a Nexus 4 with a better camera and more storage, I guess that's what many people would want... The Padfone 2 seems to match the description but It's overpriced also without the tablet and no one actually has it!

I'm probably going to get a Nexus 4, but they sell it for 519 euros here (350 in the rest of the world) and that just pisses me off!

This year is a difficult year for choosing a smartphone...

The Lenovo K900 if I remember its name correctly, seems to be a beast in terms of performance, atom processor. Quite surprisingly, it did not get a lot of publicity, despite being announced at the CES.

I wonder what happened if anyone who own xperia z accidentally drop their phone. Glass all around. Break test will be awesome.

Dragontrail glass is very strong and durable. Here is drop test at 2:10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBNEEE-O_J4

Also looks like back cover doesn't have any internals (unlike Nexus 4), so if it brakes, its easy and cheap to replace. For example, back cover for iPhone 4 / 4s costs 20 EUR on ebay and can be replaced in 3 minutes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
Xperia Z definetely. The way I see it is like a Nexus 4.5 :) Sony is good at both supporting the dev community and making durable devices with perfect designs. Although I do not like very rectengular type without any curves it is a perfect phone if any problem comes out after its release.

Droid dna?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
We don't have that in Europe...

Isn't the Xperia ZL very similar to the Oppo Finder 5 that came out some time ago? They're always ahead in China!!

Anyway this time I really don't like the choice of Full HD that all these companies have made, it doesn't make sense, after 320 dpi I don't think you can really tell the difference and it's just going to slow down performance. Sure, it's cool, but it isn't practical (like putting glass on the back of devices, come on guys, it's technology, not bijouterie). What I care about is what I can do with a device and how well it does it and that it's android(well, at the moment). If I want to look good I'll get a better hair cut!

So I've decided to get a cheap device and wait until something really good (with a reasonable price) comes out(like i did with the Galaxy Nexus and the S3).

The Nexus 4 would have been great for me, but Lg messed it up and Google decided that "on board" storage is not cool anymore. Yeah, we should live in the cloud, but here in Italy we have trouble even watching YouTube videos.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capricornian:
I think buying a Sony would be a serious mistake (only upside is lot of top notch devs here are shifting towards it) but I think sony is taking everyone on the ride.. just like Samsung promised earlier that they would release the source code, sony is teasing the community now..

once their sales reach peak, they are considered iPhone beaters by high sales they might follow sammy as well..

on the other hand Sammy once starts losing market share they will eventually give up source codes to rev up their sales..

at the end of the day, Sammy will win because being ahead of the curve, unless sony comes up with really really good hardware..

I think in near term you should go for Sony, since it will make a come back n by next year or so after that come back to Sammy..

I dont know what HTC is doing... :P

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
Only because it was the last chance for me to sell it at a really good price! And also because I was seeing too many Samsung fanboys around and people with S3's that don't even know what android is (some don't even know what the play store is and use samsung apps instead). I don't want to be mistaken for one of them!! Just joking(partly.:confused:).

Plus I don't like touchwiz and CM10 doesn't seem to take full advantage of the S3's hardware (we all know why), I had a Galaxy Nexus before and apart from the camera and battery life, there wasn't much difference in performance at all.

Finally I don't like where Samsung is going: they are making their own services easier to access than the native Google/Android ecosystem on their devices and braking native things: Samsung Apps instead of the Play Store, S Voice instead of Google now, S beam instead of Android Beam(quite useless in the S3 since it doesn't transfer from the gallery), Samsung Account, Backup, Calendar and so on. I think this damages the growth and diffusion of the Android ecosystem. When people buy a Samsung device they can easily miss all the Google and Android services and they end up thinking that other platforms offer more and better services without even knowing about Google Now, Drive, Play, Gmail, Calendar, Google+(not so useful but stil), Backup, Android, and how it's all integrated. I understand that they are a company and they just want to make money, but the Android experience on Samsung devices is compromised because of this.
