Thinking of buying, but a couple of questions first..

Is there a HDMI out via mhl or a standard Samsung connector?
Some of the Adobe apps don't work on screens under 8.9in. Can you root and then hack the config file (my mind blank as to what its called) to set the size of the screen?
Can I modify the keyboard dock for my 8.9 tab to fit the note? (Not as stupid as it sounds. The 8.9 dock is the same as the one for the gtab and the 10.1 tab.)
BTW if any UKer fancies swapping for an iPad3 let me know

I had no problem with any Adobe applications playing Flash or YouTube in the browser.
Yes you can change the DPI but only if rooted.
No the galaxy tab comes with preparatory charging connection while Note has micro USB.
Fortunately I'm not a UKer, so can avoid falling into the iPad swapping trap! ! .
Edit: you have to buy a separate MHL adapter to connect to hdmi via micro USB.

1. It's HDMI via MHL
2. Adobe Photoshop works as long as you add some missing fonts.
3. No idea

Thanks for the information. Cheers.
The Adobe apps I was thinking of were Touch, but also Proto and Collage. Do you know if they can be made to work in the same way?

thanks but i dont think i can find this in iran and i already got a cable for my note
anyway i dont really care about this

woops sorry! i tought its a cable is it safe:?

For HDMI out I don't think your cable will work. Majority of older phones use mhl for HDMI out but the n4 uses slimport and mhl cables will not work

1. Nexus 4 uses Slimport, not MHL. You'd need to buy a new cable anyway.
2. OTG only works with external power, and cannot work simultaneously with Slimport (No HDMI+OTG).
3. There is Miracast, but it sucks.

damn i bough cable wanted to experience playing games on hd tv but my phone bricked after that no chance let me see if that works whit htc one s (of my father)
anyway mine got a hdmi input and a power input and a micro-usb output
and slim port is it better? never heard about it

I just got the Rocket fish Miracast dongle from best buy. Works flawlessly. Streaming Netflix, HBO, CNN, etc. For gaming not useful, but for a media center experience, is perfect.

note 3 mhl adaptor?

Anyone know if the note 3 will support usb to hdmi. With all the power of new phone kind of wanted to try on the big screen with some emulators for old school games. I wanted to buy one now so I can have it ready when i get my note . (unless anyone know about chromecast going 100% local content very soon)

With the new usb3.0 on note 3 we will not know unless Samsung confirms if the old ones will work until someone gets the phone And tries ... sad but true

I saw MHL 2.0 somewhere

Correct. Worked with my Samsung MHL 2.0 cable (at 60Hz) and the Smart Dock. Was relieved that it still works with the Smart Dock, even though 60Hz via MHL 2.0 is preferable.

No MHL?

I received mine yesterday, have been testing it all day, everything looks fine, no significant lag. One thing I cannot test out is the MHL function. I tried mt MHL adapter, it does not work at all. Can anyone help me test if this feature exists or I got a lemon?

Yes, it does.
This is the adapter I am using that I had bought for my Note 2 (I'm sooo happy Samsung decided to go with Micro-USB on this device).

Anyone tried Nyrius ARIES Prime/pro Digital Wireless HDMI Transmitter & Receiver System on note 10.1 yet? I think this will be the perfect solution for wireless display.

It might be the older 5 pin version when the newer Samsungs have moved onto 11 pin adapters.
You could either upgrade or get an 5 pin to 11 pin adapter.

On a somewhat related note: Does this tablet have miracast support?

It should...it has a mirror screen function that works with Samsung all share cast hub(kind of miracast?)

The Samsung all share cast works as long as unrooted.

I tried the Samsung HDMI adapter I bought last year for my Note 2. It works for the Note 2 but not Note 3. The HML adapter will show like a dark snow effect and without it on it is a blank TV. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the TV resolution :/

same here, my MHL adapter for Note 2 doesn't work with this tablet.

You need the new version that they released with the s4

I just purchased the black on mentioned in the 2 post hope that works ok.

MHL works
l picked up one from Monoprice that came with the 5 to 11 pin converter. Worked fine with the tablet and my S3 watching streamed content with the Hulu plus subscription included with the tablet.

I'm sorry but I am not following this thread very well. If I want to connect my 10.1 2014 to a HDMI TV what exactly do I need (as has been confirmed to work)?

I haven't tested it but It works with my S4, says its compatible with Note 3 and Note 8 so should work on this.

I haven't tested this on my new 10.1 2014 yet, BUT
It works great on my Galaxy S 4 so I'm confidant it will work. I normally don't order generic and always go with Samsung OEM, but since it's near impossible to find a genuine Samsung one for a reasonable price I ordered from mycablemartDOTCOM since I LOVE their HDMI cables/adapters.

My Note 2 adapter works just fine!
I purchased the note 2 adapter from Samsung and it works perfectly with my 2014 edition!

bought this but doesn't connect
Cable Matters Micro-USB to HDMI MHL Adapter in Black and Charging Cable in Black 1 Metre* from Amazon.
It connects straight to my htc one x but not my galaxy 10.1 note.
Is it just not compatible or do I need to change settings on my tab?

My mhl works fine that I got for my s4. It also works for my note 3 with the USB 3.0. Since the galaxy s3 you need a mhl 2.0 adapter. They have extra pins. The old mhl won't work on newer Samsung devices

The catch being it is a battery drain. Net negative even when charging. You can not even watch a complete movie if streaming Netflix on the S4.
Near worthless as a result on the S4.

[Q] Why So Little HDMI (or MHL) Discussions?

I'm curious as to why the topic of HDMI has so little interest. It just baffles me. We need to find a way to stir more interest in this topic. I have a TMo Galaxy Note 3 and I am having problems. I have both a 5 pin (with 11 pin adapter) and a native 11 pin device along with a Samsung AllShareCast dongle. All 3 worked at 1080p with my Note 2. Now with my Note 3 only the AllShareCast works at 1080p while the two MHL adapters now only work at 720p. I prefer MHL to the compression artifact laden AllShareCast so this is frustrating me. I'm just wishing there was a way to force any HDMI output to whatever resolution I want just as you can on a PC. If you go into the device section under settings on an Android mini PC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j5ZFlJB7eo) you'll notice an HDMI selection:

I want that menu on my phone! Why does none exist? It can't be too difficult to add it. Or is it? Need some Dev's to way in. There simply must be a relatively easy way to just select output resolutions using an app or from the Android settings. MHL has been around for some time now (2 years?). Come on! We have powerful PC's in our hands now! Let's get them desktop/home theater friendly!

Any apps needed for mhl? I froze so many in titanium backup, maybe too much...
I have LG IPS 277 with mhl cable but when i plug it in, i have black screen.

I did see where there are several different versions of adapters maybe you don't have the latest? IDK

I have no problems using the official Samsung mhl cable. The one for the s3 and up that is. Most cheaper versions only have a 5 pin connector whilst the newer phones from Samsung (like s3 and up) require a 11 pin mhl. That would be the reason you get a black screen. Don't buy the cheap knockoffs imo. The Samsung stuff works because.. Well it's Samsung stuff
I am rooted, debloated and removed all crap with titanium backup etc. All works fine for me.

Anybody else agree? Can't we get a menu like that on our phone? Is it Samsungs implementation that's the issue?
