Lots of other sellers have it, I grabbed one off Ebay last night (and a couple of $ cheaper too).

Amazon has it right now for about $10 to $13.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
Anyone can confirm me that the Allshare Dongle Cast from Samsung works with the Note 3?

I bought one in a phisical store in here, and had to return it because i couldn't get it to work...

If anyone confirms to me that it does work, i will order another one, maybe because it was a defective unit!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I've used it with mine and it worked.

That said it is impossible to recommend - get a Netgear Miracast Dongle instead. Much more open standard and likely to work with other devices and future devices, which still working with the Note 3 (the Netgear is cheaper to boot).

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Holy poo on a stick!!! Thanks so much for this info. Thought sammy was going to make it only functional with their receivers. I have an older netgear ptv2000 I've had sitting in a drawer for the last year and a half, and just whipped it out to test and sure enough full 1080 hd mirror. Super awesome that you can play a video in the mirror while accessing other apps like messages.

So are there any MHL2.0 with USB OTG yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nyep05:
Note 3 with MHL (2?)

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, not entirely sure if I posted this in the right thread, but here goes.

I just recently got my 2nd MHL cable today from a local reseller. I bought this 2nd one after reading that fake mhl 2 cables are sometimes mhl 1. And the first one ran only in 1080p 30hz. This new one is supposed be an official Samsung product. Comparing it side by side with my first one which was a china knock off, i could tell that it had way better craftsmanship. Even the box was legit looking, to my standards it seemed so. It looked exactly the same as it does from the samsung website.

The question: How come it still runs only at 1080p 30hz on my TV? They both work with or without a micro usb charger. But only run half the the speed its supposed to run. What's interesting is that, when I tried attaching them to my Pc monitor, they both run perfectly 1080 60hz without input lag? I tried moving to different hdmi ports of my TV, but they all run at 30hz. I even tried plugging it in another 720p tv, and that ran a little better than my full hd tv. Couldn't tell if it was 30 or 60 though, but it was a bit less laggy.

Please help, anyone got this problem with their note 3?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] klau1:
Mhl 1 can only run 1080p at 30hz
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nyep05:
Thanks for the response.

I'm sure the new one I got is the original MHL 2. I checked the serial number and even called samsung to verify it. Please see attached pic of the cable in question.

So it should run at 1080p 60hz right? What's also intriguing is that the fake one behaves, exactly the same. Runs 60hz when connected to a PC monitor (at 720p though not 1080p) Will correct my post above.

Let me also mention that I've tried different HDMI cables, all work the same way.

:confused:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] klau1:
Mhl 1 can do 720p 60 so that's consistent
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nyep05:
Thanks again.

Oh samsung, you've failed me yet again. Looks like i'll be giving up on this mhl business.

Finally a reason to get an Ouya. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
My MHL 2.0 cable does 1080p 60Hz. Is your TV the rate limiting step here or something?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billiy:
there are a lot of tvs that will show 1080p in broadcast but only 720p hdmi pc ect I have 3 in my house a vizio 24 in my office a Samsung 37 in my bedroom and a LG 24 in my daughters room. all where bought cheap. if I want hi end I have a LG 60 1080 120 hz in my family room. the only one with a blue ray or a 1080p roku.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nyep05:
Thanks billiy and NZtechfreak for the responses!

I thought about that too, that It might be because I have a cheapo LG TV. But my question to you is this, how come i can run the PS3, appleTV and the Ouya (yup I already bought one today :D) on the same cheapo TV at 1080 60p? Would that make any difference? :eek: I'm really lost on this one. Sorry I'm such an android noob.

Killer deal and verified working flawlessly..... I guess it's common sense to most of you but you have to have the charger hooked up for it to work.... just a lil heads up if you buy it... 12 bucks... HDMI to phone... Now I can watch movies off netflix from anywhere in the house(not just in the living room with the big screen smart tv.) and game big screen as well... It's a pretty sweet gig... First timer for me.... I def been missing out.

Same problem, mhl 1.0 so it wouldn't do 1080p60
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:
For those of you trying to buy the MHL 2.0 adapter from Samsung's website, it has been on back order for a couple weeks. I'm suppose to get an email from them when it's available. Still waiting. I ordered one from Verizon. Same price with free shipping. The Verizon stores I called near Seattle didn't have any in stock.

I have a mhl 1.0 adaptor that doesn't require power source. In average, it draws 1% each 2.5 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] no6969el:
Well thank you very much as this EASILY makes my decision for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bnevets27:
What I'm looking to do is hook up to HDMI and watch content from an external hard drive (bigger the better) of course 1080p @ 60hz would be better then 30hz but I think I can live with it.

From what I understand the following is correct, please correct me if I'm wrong.

According to this thread, this dock will do USB OTG and HDMI at the same time.

The one is this thread (post #30) doesn't have any confirmation that it can do USB OTG and HDMI at the same time.

Both are HML 1.0 and therefore will only do 1080p @ 30hz.

There isn't any HML 2.0 adapters that can do USB OTG and HDMI at the same time.

The only thing HML 2.0 has over HML 1.0 is that it outputs at 1080p @ 60hz ?

The note 3 can't recognize NTFS formatted drives on the stock ROM.

Do none of the apps in the play store that say they can mount NTFS (with root) work to change that?

Is there a ROM/Kernel that will allow NTFS to be mounted? I'm mainly interest in reading from the drive.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
If MHL 1.0 then yes, 1080p @ 30Hz.

Not that I'm aware of.

MHL 2.0 allows for greater charging input, although I don't think that applies to Samsung devices since they have their own custom MHL connections and charging inputs which allow 2A charging in any case. MHL 2.0 also allows transmission of 3D content, but then given the state of 3D content that may or may not be worth worrying about...

Not checked recently, but I would think ROMs/kernels with NTFS should be available by now, they have been available for everything from Samsung from the S3 onwards here at XDA so would be surprised if not. Short of custom ROMs/kernels, Paragon NTFS/HFS+ from the Play Store worked with other Rooted devices I have tried (my Note 3 is not Rooted, so cannot confirm in this case).

For the two docks you linked to I will need to check when I get home (work blocking the links to the products).

I have been looking around a bit for a wireless solution with the most interoperability. Here is one product I will likely order while I wait on a viable USB 3.0/mhl2.0 dock/hub.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quad-Core-D...2-Miracast-Dongle-Mini-PC-Stick-/130979212591

I intend to search for other vendors and at least one review before I buy though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Similar price to the Netgear Miracast dongle, which works well with the Note 3 (and lots of other stuff besides).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
This arrived for me this week, finally got around to testing it tonight and can confirm it works well, which is a great result for the $11USD it cost me from Ebay (including shipping). Considering it basically does everything the Samsung Smart Dock does I'm well pleased.

Few notes:

Yes, it is MHL 1.0 - I kind of expect them to revise these to MHL 2.0 before Samsung actually get around to releasing an updated dock.

USB OTG functions will not work without a 2A Samsung charger connected apparently, I was initially using a cheap charger that happened to be in the multi-board the TV was plugged into and was disappointed when nothing would work. Got of my lazy @$$ and grabbed my Samsung charger and all working. Plugged in my externally powered USB hub and then a Logitech K400 keyboard/mouse combo, card reader with a 16GB full-sized SD card in it and also a Logitech F710 controller. Happily watched some video from the card and then played some Dead Trigger 2 on the HDTV with the controller.

NTFS not recognised

HI there i have tried to connect NTFS formated USB but no luck, it only detects FAT USB, any solution??

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] klau1:
Paragon will mount ntfs volumes if you are rooted.

Or you could just reformat the drive to exFat
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] buster lee:
Try nexus media importer app from the playstore. I have it on my n900a and can confirm it will read my seagate ntfs 1tb. You dont get mount and it will not write.... read only thru usb otg. However the drive I have is the wireless plus so couple that with es file explorer and I am r/w over wifi, Read only with usb. As a side note I have a rooted i727 (stock rom) confirmed that paragon app will establish mount on the seagate for r/w over usb otg using es file explorer. Not ready to lose my warranty on the note yet, so no paragon app for it. Nexus media importer app is the only option for usb otg that I have found. These wifi drives are great for getting around a lot of barriers for non root. You have your own portable wifi network with nas. I also pass thru internet from what ever source i can log in to, join the chromecast in or mhl from note to tv use bt mouse, kb, moga, and gear for calls and TaDa.... my own little office/entertainment hub in a hotel room. And yes the note 3 does do all four bt devices at once. Its a multitasking beast.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nabeelrazanaqvi:
No i am stock and non rooted
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
No solution for non-root users.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] markanthony123:
Have you tried using Paragon NTFS&HFS+ on the NTFS HDD?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] LillieBennett:
I decided to give up on ntfs for usb hdd. It was required to bypass fat32 limits but now there is exFat which works great.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
It requires Root, otherwise I'd have suggested it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] markanthony123:
Yeah that's what I used to read my 3 TB HDD with my s3. Haven't tried with my Note 3 but I figured it should work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdapapaya:
Btw, "USB OTG functions will not work without a 2A Samsung charger connected apparently"

not quite understand, how do we charge when the port is already occupied by the USB OTG? it shows i was connected but when i plug in any thumb drive, it can't read at all... please help!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I mean that the charging port in the cheap reverse-engineered Smart Dock alternative requires a 2A charger connected for USB OTG to work, I tried with a regular charger and USB OTG did not work.

For regular USB OTG obviously no charging connection is possible as the port is occupied as you state. If your thumb drives don't work then they are likely formatted to NTFS, or your USB OTG adapter is faulty (or just a USB-->Micro USB adapter without the correct pin configuration for USB OTG recognition, a mistake I see some people making still).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdapapaya:
Ive checked it is FAT format not NTFS, anyway, i'll check again the USB OTG with another note 3 and feedback again. it apparently saying that there's usb connected when i connected just the USB OTG itself.., but it doesn't response / no response after i have plugged in the thumb drive

Update: by using another cable, my N3 did work well. and i try the previous cable with another N3, it has the same problem which shown "usb connected" when i plugged in the cable, but no response after i've plug in a thumb drive. Btw, it shown" usb disconnected" as well when i removed the cable. No idea why. Could be the cable faulty?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TeeeJaay:
Has anyone tried directly connecting a camera/dslr on their phone using OTG? it seems the Note 3 isn't capable of importing photos from it directly unlike my S4 and Note 2.

What about this dock

I saw you post the OTG/USB splitter thing from the same creators as this dock (I can't link, but search amazon for)

Patuoxun Smart Dock MHL HDMI OTG Docking Station Charger Cradle

but I was wondering if (since they look to be almost the same item in function) if this one will work the same? I want a dock solution for work for my Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
On the Amazon page for that item, in the description it says that USB OTG and MHL can not be used simultaneously.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shipleythump:
Guess I overlooked that part. I had hoped that it was essentially the same unit, just as a dock. I didn't see any post of a docking solution that does OTG and MHL at the same time. Anyone had any luck with that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:
Wanted to let you all know the Official Samsung MHL Adapter is no longer on back order and is now available from Samsung.com. I put my email address on the list to be notified when they were available. Got the email today but have not been to the sight to confirm

Search for Aerb galaxy note 3 dock on amazon (cant post link because I don't have 10 posts yet)

otg, mhl & charging all working at same time

hey guys,

here is another dock device that allows tv-out hdmi, otg and charging of the note 3 at the same time for about $17 USD shipped to Oz.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141153756567

It does charge but it is quite slow as it shows up as "USB" charging mode. Hope the seller can revise a new model with resistors to sitch to AC mode charging.

Still my note 3 slowly charges up about 3% after watching a movie using VLC player. VLC player had the screen brightness reduced but not off, whereas samsung player can turn off the screen and probably charge quicker, but samsung has crap audio codec support.

Build quality is ok and doesnt feel too cheap. plugs are good quality and click in firmly. Doesnt seem to get hot at all, so is totally worth the cost. I havent tried all 3 usb ports at the same time yet.

With a portable USB charger and the Brookestone mini projector, i can watch very clear 720p quality movies on the go :D

The note 2 only better the note 3 with NTFS external drive reading, hope someone can fix this for the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Nice find, looks higher quality than the one I posted a pic and report of above.

I presume it is still only MHL 1.0 (not 60Hz)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sonhy:
It actually has "MHL 2.0" printed on the micro usb plug, but who knows.

Played a 720p BRrip movie on a 32" TV and it was crystal clear, maybe a micro second audio lag, maybe, i cant fully tell... there was nothing to complain about apart from the slow charging (wasnt discharging tho).

some pics.

www.imgur.com/JyuVvJ7,LT0ESY8,fpEPSyK

** UPDATE

After further testing, the device does get bit hot with all 3 usb ports in use. also it seemed the device resets itself (tv-out shutters for about 1 second) about 3 times while watching a movie. Probably a power issue with all 3 usb ports powered up.

Theres no shutter or resetting when 1 usb port is in use.

Overall, it totally usable and worth it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Your TV doesn't give any indication of whether playback is at 30 or 60Hz?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sonhy:
60hz... sorry been/still on holidays. its really good quality tv out
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RedCriwx:
Hi, sonhy. Really interested in this adaptor.

Can you give any references to find something similar over the web? The link you gave to ebay says the item is Out Of Stock (With no signs to restock soon).

With "similar" I mean, MHL 2.0 and USB. Is pretty easy to find OTG+MHL 1.0 acaptors.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sonhy:
hi Redcriwx, I had my eyes on this one too, but choose mine, due to this one not having a cable for the MHL plug - a solid connector is prone to being damaged if not used/placed carefully.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/111193449281

Im not sure if it is MHL v2.0 but looks like both devices share the same layout and design and thus may share the same chip inside.

The item maybe out of stock because i told the seller that the device would be supper-duper by adding a resistor to the charger parts to tell the phone it is plugged into an AC adapter, as it currently only charges in USB mode. The seller said he/she would talk to their peoples.

If they are able to make these changes, i would wait for it as it would mean that the phone would charge up way faster than just 1-2% per hour. Maybe I should copy the movies over to the phone rather than playing the movies off my exFat 750GB usb3.0 drive :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RedCriwx:
Thanks sonhy. I already tried the one you linked, but is MHL 1.0 (all you get is 1280x720 @ 60Hz.). I made a bit appointment about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49310424&postcount=19

I will follow the seller to see if an improved version of your dock comes out soon.

my Sony TV shows 60Hz @ 1080p , just make sure you power it with a 2Amp charger first then plug in the HDMI to the TV and other usb drives. I find it takes 10+ seconds for the external drives to show up.

I formatted my 750Gb drive to exFat, works great - just couldnt wait for an NTFS app to work on kitkat 4.4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] macdroid01:
anything new here? what's the best smartdock now? what I want: usb 3 (for more power, quicker charge), USB OTG with 2 or more ports, and HDMI video out. What would be an excellent bonus would be standard stereo 1/8" mini jack sound out. Unless..can i just plug my receive with my big beefy speakers into the headphone jack, mute my TV's internal speakers, and watch HDMI video out from my phone along with sound from the headphones? will it by in sync? A bonus would be 3 usb ports but I bet they don't make them and also I can just buy a cheapo USB hub, but that'd just be all the more streamlined if they had it. Basically I would like to buy a knockoff of the Samsung SmartDock but with USB 3 with 2 or 3 ports, plus sound out if possible, and be of good quality (maybe not exactly official Samsung OEM quality but close)

I don't care about frame rate so I guess MHL 1.0 or 2.0 doesn't matter to me.. my TV is 30fps (and I like it like that! Like the SNL skit goes..)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ELCUPRA:
you have feedback of the item?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RedCriwx:
Hi.

I recived this product a month ago. While I'm pretty satisfied with it, yet it has a few issues you have to deal with.

1- The construction quality is quite poor. The cover of the OTG Connection has loosen after a few weeks of use. The conectivity was not affected, so a bit of cyanoacrylate glue fixed it so far.

2- The power seems to be inssuficient for charging the phone while using resource-consuming apps. Even with the 2Amp original power adaptor that comes with the Note 3, and even when the battery icon shows the charge animation, the batery drains slowly if you play 3D games or try to play flash content over the web.

Besides these two isses, the adaptor works perfectly: 1080 - 60p, the phone detects it as a Dock, fully compatible with any HDMI Ready TV, USB works fine...

For It's price, i think that is a good deal.

If you have any specific quiestion, feel free to ask.

Grettings.
