There seems to be an issue with the Galaxy S4 and Sixaxis app. It seems custom made touch profiles do not work at all with the S4. I spent hours trying to work it out until I jumped online and found many people with the same problem on the S4. Hopefully the developers off the app can come up with something.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Can pretty much definitively say ethernet is not working I think. Tried today with a new adapter (that works perfectly on the Padfone Infinity in phone and pad modes, since I tried that first), does not work with S4 with or without an externally powered USB hub.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Is Dx-Box.com a legitimate or scam site?

They are selling the MHL 2.0 adapter for 21 dollars and that is 1/3 of the suggested price..... Or would I be better off just getting the S3 connector from Amazon?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Found this on Amazon, the one reviewer said it works for his S4. Seems reasonably priced and don't have to get a HDMI cable if you don't want to.

Thanks for trying that NZtechfreak! Real shame :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xdadevnube:
I am curious if anyone has been able to measure the USB output current of the Galaxy S 4.

I have read that USB devices will utilize 100ma "blocks" of current capability. So one may find that the output current is essentially the minimum conforming to the standard (100ma), or a multiple in 100ma increments.

This would be good information to determine that USB devices the S4 is capable of powering.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
Is that all I would need or would I also need the adapter as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
If you already have your own hdmi to hdmi cable, then you only need the adapter.

If you don't have a hdmi cable, then you get the mhl to hdmi cable (first one)

If you have a S3 or Note 2, then you would go for the second cable since it has a longer usb cable to attach to your charger for power. S4 does not need external power to use the cable anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
Nice, thanks! Yeah, that looks like an awesome deal. It's funny because I just sold my xbox and I've been grieving the loss of MLBTV on the big screen, and I totally forgot that I had this option with the S4. Looks like I'll be picking one of these up. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] guyver2077:
has anyone posted a link to any mhl 2.0 adapters? (not the s3 ones)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tft:
what i find disturbing is how difficult it seems to find a 3rd party adapter that supports all the samsung adapter features, 60hz, etc.. i'm looking for one myself, unfortunately haven't found anything under $20. don't want to spend more than that as i'm not sure how much use i'll get out of it, but useful to have.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Don't think they've been reverse engineered yet. Would expect that to happen and for cheap Chinese alternatives to arrive at some point.

USB Dac

I thought I would chime in with my results.

I tried connecting my NuForce Udac-2 and it will not work. The audio seems to be playing in the player but I do not get any audio output through the headphones.

It did work with USB Audio Recorder Pro but there are limitations to this player which unfortunately for me make it unusable.

I believe the Udac-2 was compatible with the SGS3 so I am fairly disapointed. It was actually the main reason I ditched my iPhone. Hopefully there will be some support in the future.

Hi,

I just got mine from Amazon, just yesterday.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] djmouse:
go to best buy they have them, its the same one for the gs3 and the gs4 if you read back i posted about this, on the gs3 samsung changed the pin layout in the micro usb port on the phone samsung used to use 9 pins the gs3 and the s4 have a 11 pin connector now so it has to be a official samsung one for now at least untill theres a knock off made, i had bought a pipeline mhl to hdmi adaptor at radio shack and it did not work i called pipeline and spoke to them, see if i was doing something wrong and tech support told me about the 11 pins, and said there adaptor will not work,so i returned it and went to best buy you actually have to go talk to the tv guys in there,theyll hook you up with the right one,and one more thing about samsung you can not use headphones with a inline mic on them that are compatible with iPhone theres 3 rings on the headphone jack and they line up different so if anyone has had problems using headphones with a mic that are compatible with an iPhone the mic wont work

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] djmouse:
how many pins is it?ive posted this about ten times in this thread s3 and s4 have 11 pins in the mhl adapter most mhl adapters are 9 pins look inside the connector see if you can count the contatcs in the adapter may need a magnifiny glass
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
just posting my more detailed reviews of the 2 wireless keyboards. i find the 2nd one ( measy rc13) more interesting than the mele f10

and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqsVzIFzYRM this measy rc13 is my main one now as the mele f10 more popular on youtube is roundly thrashed by the measy rc13 for features but mele f10 has better air mouse.

So basically there is currently NO WAY whatsoever to have an S4 hooked to a tv via MHL 2.0 @60Hz, while charging and using USB OTG...

The closest thing possible is the S3 Smart Dock, which is limited to [MENTION=4542040]30hz[/MENTION] output via MHL...

Am I getting this right? Will there be a "S4 Smart Dock" ?

Also, I tried the Nexus Media Importer app with USB OTG, trying to read NTFS, but had no joy on my I9505... Anyone know any other non root method to read NTFS? ... Sadly I cannot root, I bought this baby with a 2 1/2 year pay plan, so I need to keep the warranty without fiddling with Triangle Away and the likes...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] amviewer:
I tried several for NTFS on my i9505 and the only one that did work was OTG USB Helper. For some reason the other ones didn't work on the stock kernel. Still you need root for this but traingle away 2.9 works to reset your counter so no worries with the warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
No way to do NTFS without Root as far as I am aware.

I just purchased the official Samsung mhl 2 adaptor for my s4 i9505 but I need to plug a charger into it for anything to show on my tv, thought the idea was not to need a charger connected??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JustSueMe:
hdmi needs power. . . So unless u can get more power from the devices port then ull need more power.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aou:
This is my guess as well. I haven't tried it yet, but it is true that any MHL adapter needs power of some sort. In the case of MHL 2.0, it is capable of being powered by the screen/TV/whatever ... but only if the display supports providing that power back to the MHL adapter. If it doesn't support this, you'll be forced to attach a power adapter to your MHL adapter.

But the 2.0 will still have 1080p, so be glad for that.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JustSueMe:
Well I have otg and on amazon I see a mhl hdmi with a red cable that has a usb coming from that as well for the power. If I get one I might try cutting both cables and merging it with the otg cable to see if it utilizes the power the device puts out and allows for hdmi as well.

Unless anyone can tell me in advance if this has no way of working.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
The instructions that came with my Samsung OTG cable clearly says to connect the flash memory to OTG cable and only then to device. It also says the device can have problems if you do it the other way around.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bennetski:
Well im confused. My mhl 2.0 arrived today. I was previously using mhl 1.0 with my appradio. Even though it was not charging it did display the phone on the head unit display without the need for a power lead. The new mhl 2.0 does nothing unless its powered, the only goid point is my phone is now getting 700 Mah which is just enough to charge it. I cant see why it doesnt work without power like the old one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NZtechfreak:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Nizda1:
It might be. I just got my mhl 2.0 adapter in from Samsung and it works without needing the charger. It says in the manual that it's compatible with s3/note2/s4 but s4 is the only device that can skip steps 4-5 aka plugging in the charger. It works on 2 TVs and a monitor I tried it with. After looking on amazon I see they have a couple mhl 2 adapter advertised but in fine print they all say 1.0.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bennetski:
I did get mine from amazon but ive now ordered one direct from samsung. Hopefully this one will work lol

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bennetski:
Received my official mhl and have had some strange results. Indeed it does work without the need for power but strangely enough the phone, even though it doesn't show it as charging is receiving around 600 mah just through the hdmi. If I plug in the charger I'm only getting around 300 mah. How can this be?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
It probably requires more power than the S4 can supply, try some other stuff out.

Hi there!

I had to send my Pico back to Justin at HeadAmp, he investigated and found a way to fix its compatibility with Samsung devices last year. If you are handy with a soldering iron you can do it yourself, he offered to tell me what to do, but I wasn't prepared to put my mediocre to non-existant soldering skills to the test with my beautiful Pico.

I have an eBay one that's supposed to be a an official Samsung as well. It does not work without power. However, when it is powered, I do get 1080p/60Hz. Odd, it has to be MHL 2.0 to meet the 60Hz spec, but I don't know why the power issue is there. Maybe it's my specific rom.

MHL 2.0 adapter with S4 not working without Power

hello all. Purchased official Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter on Amazon. It's not the knock off from what I can see as it says Samsung right on it and has SN on back.

Anyhow when i plug my Galaxy s4 into it and then to HDMI it still requires that I plug in the power source in order for it to work. Does this have to do with my TV or project I'm using? Is there s function on the device I need to enable, or is the Samsung MHL adapter I bought a knock off. I got this one for $15, and saw others at $40, but it said it was an official MHL 2.0 adapter. white version and what not.

Please help as I do a lot of presentations from my phone and it would be nice not to have the stupid power source requirement.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 3mel:
turns out the checker app is out of date, whereas the main app supports the s4 with no problem..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
Yes, you got a knockoff as well. Or rather an imitation.

I have and exact same one, comes in proper Samsung packaging and has all the Samsung Logos and stuff but requires a power source.

Easiest way to check would be to see how smooth the HDMI output is. It should be buttery smooth. If not, it means it's fake.

Problems on GT9505 with serial communication over USB

I am working on an app which communicates to cars using an USB-OBD serial communication cable working on all S2,S3 using an USB OTG adapter just fine.

I think it's also working on GT9500 S4, since no user has reported a problem yet - but I did not try myself.

The only phones with problems is the GT 9505 S4. The plugged in serial device is not recocgnized anymore. The communication is not working either. We have tried with powered USB Hub, but that makes no difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] osi13:
I'm 100% positive that MHL 1.0 cables (with the 5 to 11 pin adapter) work perfectly. You simply have to reboot the device after it says "HDMI detected." The same applies to the Note II.

However, if you don't have a 5 to 11 pin adapter, or a cable with 11 pins, it's not going to work.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dysfunkshun:
I have a pioneer avh-x8500bhs head unit and was running my razr hd through the included micro hdmi. It also came with an mhl adaptor which I tried with my s4 and it does not mirror like my hd. I used arliberator with both, and my hd screen and touch functions would mirror to my head unit. With the mhl adaptor and s4, I can get arliberator to connect, but cant get anything to display on the head unit. Is the problem that the mhl is not 2.0? It is powered, I do believe.

If I used an Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable (connecting it directly from the phone port to the tv port) would it send 60hz,

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dhiku:
Exactly the same with me, I bought it from my friend it really looks like a genuine samsung mhl 2.0 (I think the product is very similar to this)/

The results? I got 60 fps buttery smooth and must be connected to charging input, without power input my s4 only show "HDMI connected" then after 1 seconds "HDMI disconnected" status, very strange. Btw my S4 i9500 official with pre-rooted ROM. I dont know whether this is the reason or not, I will try it with my friends phone and see the results.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] whatsisnametake2:
60fps is all very well, but for 24p movie playback its rubbish, and it seems like there is no way to make the s4 output 24p with the MHL 2.0 adapter. i'm actually wondering if the previous gen s3 mhl 1.0 adapter might be better for movie playback as i've read that that will put out 24p.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dhiku:
Found out that its a fake product and I ask for refund.

Then I bought another one with more expensive price ($35) and it working fine with or without adaptor with 60fps :angel:

You wont notice by looking only on the box, product code and barcode is same like originial.

But you can notice the differences when you open the box, original one is more heavier and has plastic wrap.

some s4 with mhl 1.0 port?

hello,

I just bought an italian s4 (i9505) and an original mhl 2.0 cable from an important reseller, so it's not counterfeit for sure.

the 1080p60 output works fine but only when the charger is connected to the adaptor.

the reseller says that other customers are having the same problem and they discovered that their phones have got a mhl 1.0 port...

they suggested me to take the phone to the samsung service in order to check if the port is 1.0 or 2.0.

any thoughs?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Zibri:
I just tested this dock:

EDDS20E

Everything works but MHL is quite lagged (about 100 ms). Probably the docking station is not the culprit. It's just the way it is.

But I wonder how can someone play a game on a TV then.

Not with an S4.

Probably better with a cheap android stick.

Oh, and the oputput is 30p.

Note: as with screen sharing, when on mhl, 3dmark scores are A HALF.

5556 in the Ice Storm benchmark with MHL on.

10276 without mhl.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] IamPro:
I have the official dock, I don't see any real lag (if there is its minimal) but yes the frame rate is less then 60 esp if you connect a usb device in that turns off the S4 screen
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Zibri:
What official dock? Do this: start the chronometer and show it on the phone screen and tv. Then take a photograph of them both. You will see the TV will be behind of about 90 to 100 ms and that happens when the phone does nothing. Imagine when a game is running. Anyhow 100 to 300 ms is enough to suck at any game. Even pacman.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] amviewer:
I have the same official dock.

And yes this outputs 30p.

Works great in combination with a powered usb hub for usb hdd movies etc...

But if you want somthing like gaming/emulators you need to have 60p which can only be done with the mhl 2.0 adapter which I also own.

To bad they couldn't make the dock 60p...
