$20 off samsung.com with code rXu3670 valid until june 20th 2014. I'm canada.. so i can't ship it over.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nights815:
Mine looks kind like yours except missing ICs

Mine came from the "fake" packaging, I opened it up because it was not working at all out of box. Turns out there was a very crappy solder job done on it. Repaired the broken wire issue and works on 1080p tvs. Needs power to work. So it is not the MHL 2.0 claimed unit.

** Also got excited just now because i found the original manufacturer of the "fake Samsung MHL" adapter and they posted the Schematic of the unit. Time to hack and mod!!! best 17 dollars spent.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DazJW:
I've just received one of these "Fulfilled by Amazon" (UK) and I suspect it's a fake. It came in the old/fake/non-US style packaging with the Samsung hologram plus a gold sticker with numbers on it but the contents of the packaging seem a bit off.

The HDMI text on the reverse side of the body of the adapter is smudged so much you can barely tell it's supposed to say HDMI.

The moulding of the ferrite core clip on thing is pretty poor and the TDK logo on it is misaligned (the T is higher than the DK).

The power port is what I would call the right way up (with the wider part at the top like most devices) when Samsung devices normally have it upside down (with the narrow part at the top).

It was extremely difficult to insert or remove the HDMI cable from the socket on the adapter.

The adapter weights around 20g.

The plastic has the poor quality feel that really cheap or fake equipment usually has.

The image on the screen doesn't fit properly though this could be the TV. The TV's HDMI input can be set to DTV or PC modes, on DTV the image is zoomed in so it is too big for the screen and the image is pixelated while on PC it seems to be the right size but is too high up (the status bar is off the top of the screen and there's a gap at the bottom) but it can't be adjusted in PC mode. The TV only does 1280x720p but my phone is only an S3 anyway so I would expect it to be fine.

The image occasionally disappeared from the screen entirely.

Edit:

I've now replaced this adapter with one directly from Samsung via their UK site and all of the points listed above have been corrected except the image fitting the screen - which I assume is something to do with the native resolution of the TV - plus it has a small manual in it rather than just a leaflet and the phone doesn't lose power like it was with the first adapter.

Interestingly the new adapter came in the same style packaging but it didn't have the Samsung hologram.

For clarity, the attached images are the one that I believed to be fake.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] VaderSS:
I finally got a couple of MHL 2.0 adapters from samsung.com

I can now verify that all 3 of my adapters, both the 2 I got from Samsung and the 1 I got from Amazon, all charge at 700 mA.

That is not quite enough to charge my phone unless the display brightness is turned all the way down and I am not losing signal anywhere. With GPS on and in a poor signal area, it loses charge, but at least its not falling as fast as it otherwise would.

The main thing I use my MHL adapter for is to port the navigation display to my car's radio display so this is a bit annoying, but not a deal-breaker.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Black Stern:
I have the original samsung MHL 2.0 adapter and a S4

The adapter works without a usb charger plugged in.

But when I connect the original S4 charger to the MHL adapter it doesn't charge my S4.

When I only remove the HDMI cable the phone still doesn't charge.

Is this normal?

So the micro usb charger in socket on the MHL adapter can't be used to power my S4?

Can the phone not be charged when I use the adapter, only by a MHL certified HDMI slot and cable?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mic18u:
I received my MHL adapter the other day in the original packaging, worked fine until i tried powering it, where i would get hdmi connected / disconnected messages on my note 3 attached to a Pioneer appradio headunit.

Bought a 2.1 amp charger and issue was sorted.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lawrenceh:
I've got both of the major fake HDTV adapters, the ~18g one and ~26g one seen earlier in this thread. Thankfully I only paid a few £s for each off eBay. Naturally both were listed as "Genuine". Here are my observations using them on my i9300 S3:

18g Fake

Short USB connector, fits tightly/securely against the phone body

The printed HDMI, model no, certification logos are reversed (lettering readable when USB cable is pointing down)

Requires power to work

Charges phone when connected (slowly)

Have to put the phone into airplane mode to avoid disconnects

26g Fake

Longer USB connector, doesn't fit securely against the phone body, moving the phone can break connection

The printed HDMI, model no, and certification matches the genuine item

Requires power to work

Doesn't charge the phone when connected

Have to put the phone into airplane mode to avoid disconnects

So basically the lighter fake is much better and does a reasonable job for occasional use. It's a shame Samsung has to charge so much for the genuine adapter as it just results in a flood of fakes. Surely they can integrate the functionality into the phone now and make the adapter a cheap/dumb connector.

The 18g fake seems to be made by the same people that made my previous fake S3 adapter. That worked well enough but failed (stopped working/charging and just got burning hot) after 18 months of use so I don't have high hopes for long-term reliability.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fabiusp98:
I got this one http : //www.ebay.com/itm/MHL-Micro-USB-to-HDMI-HD-TV-Cable-Adapter-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-S3-Note-3-2-/281413462425?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item41858ca999 and works well with my galaxy s4, the choppines that some users experience is a problem of Samsung Touchwiz firmware, on omnirom it doesn't happen.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chico260:
Just purchased this. . Does it look legit?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Double :
There is also this variant. It looks legit, but also seems fake. These are all over ebay, typically sold for under 15$.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Barabba11:
Hi everyone, interesting topic.. I couldn't guess there are so many variants around and they can create so many problems.

I've an S5 G900V and I would buy somethign cheap just to see movies on TV, I read somewhere my phone is MHL 2.0 compatible, but not that sure it's compatible cause I see arount talking about S5 i9600 which looks is clone.

It's ok for me to power it, and I suppose to charge the phone se need a stronger power supply, at least 2 Amper.

I've found some cheap models on ebay MHL 2.0, will they work on my S5?

For exaple this: h**p://www.ebay.it/itm/Micro-USB-MHL-2-0-a-HDMI-HDTV-adattatore-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note-2-/371564129270?hash=item5682f2abf6:g:WocAAOSwgkRVSOkH

Hey all!

For those of you still unaware, you can download the doc tool for repartitioning your doc to get 31megs persistent storage os root....

grab it at http://buzzdev.net

Buzz....rules!!!!!!

Thanks buzz, for making all of this happen :)

San
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
thanx dreamtheater... ;o)

just to be clear...

DOC = Disk-On-Chip

It is a flash chip, where your ExtROM and Storage resides.

Size of them is factory predefined.

With DOC_Tool it is possible to redefine DOC partitions.

Currently, the tool is configured to get maximal size for Storage and minimal size for ExtROM, because the goal was to get the maximal storage size on WM2005.

But it can also can be used other way, or on other devices and on WM2003/SE as well.

As mamaich told me today, he'd like to get max ExtROM and small storage on BlueAngel...

so if anyone is interested, let me know...

i'm actually thinking about some UI with slider to adjust DOC partitions.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dreamtheater39:
Buzz!!!!!!! you're the greatest man!

this is really a breakthrough in xda development...

great man!

few questions:

1. Can I use this tool on my XDA IIi or this is applicable to Himalaya only?

2. If I use it on Alpine, will my existing 59Mb of storage merge with EXTROM and get a higher storage? Will this Become a persistent storage so I can install programs on it and use the 128Mb main memory solely for runing programs?

thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toenailed:
hi yankee ..:)

about your Q regarding the Alpine .. actually you wont be needing this tool .. since the Alpine uses already the WHOLE DOC or the 2nd Chip ROM and use as Storage..

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Note for BlueAngel users

I've attached a program that can repartition our devices. You can enter the desired size of your "Extended_ROM" in kilobytes. Min - 128 Kb, Max - 64 Mb. The remaining part would become your "storage".

After formatting the device should be rebooted. Of cause you should backup the contents of Extended_ROM and Storage folders. If you use "Permanent Save" feature, during first boot OS would ask to recreate files in your "storage" folder.

I'd recommend to use 128K extended ROM with only theft prevention program in it, and all other space leave a "storage".

Usage:

unrar archive to your device and run it. Enter the desired Extended ROM size, press "Format now" and reboot. If the program outputs format error - round your size to the next 128 Kb boundary and try again.

Theoretically this program can run on other devices that use DiskOnChip(R) TrueFFS(R) driver, but this is not tested. It would not work under WM2005!

After hard reset the extended ROM would be hidden, but it should remain writeable forever - my program resets unlock password to zeroes.

and:

Use this program at your own risk!!!

Hi Buzz,

Great work, yet again :!: :!: :!:

Man, if this forum supports the "bowing" emoticons, I shall add it here 100 times over! :wink:

Moving forward, what are your plans for the next version? Pray share with us!

You mentioned the UI slider to adjust the storage. I understand that quite a number of us are experiencing low memory at some point or the other. Perhaps that is due to installation of files (e.g. ringtones, fonts, themes) to the /DEVICE part, and Magento is using the same partition to allocate memory? I dunno, perhaps this will help us to manage our memory usage better!

Thanks!
