Will MHL adaptor from Epic Touch 4G work? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Will the MHL adaptor from the Epic Touch 4G work on the S4, or will I have to buy a new one?

I am betting you will need the new 11 pin adapter, I think the old et 4g adapter is only 5 pin

yep I got the adapter from amazon for like $10.
Works great 1080p through msl also no need to charge the s4 while mirroring.

I got the samsung branded adapter.

I'd hate to ask, do you happen to have an amazon link for that adapter?
I searched amazon and all the samsung mhl adapters are $20-$30.
Also, is the S4 is 5 pin or 11 pin?

To be clear I am talking about an 11 pin adapter that allows the 5 pin mhl cable to work on the gs4 since that is what the op is asking about. A new 11 pin mhl cable is around $30.

You don't lose any functionality by using the 5 to 11-pin adaptor over the new mhl adaptor, do you? Does it still need to be externally powered?

Beware of aftermarket USB cables

I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.
I bought a couple of these usb sync/charge cable recently from the eBay and gad no problems with them. They came with proper boxes wraped up.
If yoy need the link, let me know and i will send it to you.
Thanks.

Galax Tab Sprint Cable
I have the oem cable and this aftermarket cable from ebay.
I've been using the cable from ebay since I got it.
The cable works fine and is longer.
Again I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab

Just (arrived yesterday) got an after marked cable from ebay, just tried to use it and my Tab appears to shut down (black screen, no response from buttons etc).
Luckily I have my original cable with me but now that's doing the same (into a PC and mains).
Is this a massive coincidence of have I just goosed my beloved Galaxy Tab?
I bought a number of cheap retractable cables from ebay and they all work well for sync and charge.

I really hate that the OEM cables are so dang short. I'd love to find a couple of longer ones.
Sent from Galaxy Tab with XDA app
I use my OEM cable tho it is short, I use my USB cable extension from my logitech wireless mouse, It works just fine.
Of course when syncing I plug it direct to PC
I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.
Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.
The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.
Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".
So it is just a risk you might want to take.
Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay
Example: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-data-cable-for-samsung-p1000-1m-length-51931
Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:

When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.
AliExpress also has lot's of items:
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=charging+p1000&catId=0
Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.
Thans from another dutch guy who borght his stuff at mobilesupplies.nl for reasonable proces. Two charges a Docking station and a bluetooth keyboard in leather case.

as much as carriers molest phones, AT&T is throwing in a free mhl adapter with the Infuse
Interestingly, Phones4U said that an MHL adapter was included with their GSIIs when I enquired about price last week.

question about charger

A quick question about the supplied AC charger of the Nexus 10.
I ordered one from the USA Play Store and i'll need to use it in Europe as well. Does the charger work at 220V or is just 110V?
Thanks!
As an electrician, it won't. You would need the correct wall adapter.

Why wouldn't it? My N4 charging adapter works with 110 and 220.
Read what the adapter says on it. It'll tell you.
Just looked at mine, it says 110-240v. Should work with an adapter.
Alright, thanks! I'll just need an adapter.
Can't wait to get my hands on the device... it's been shipped and should be delivered tomorrow

Well you would need an adapter. The standard us wall receptacle won't fit in Europe

What to buy for MHL

I recently got a Verizon Note 4 and found out my TV is MHL compatible. I can't seem to figure out if I need a MHL 3.0 to HDML adapter, or if there is a simple cable that I can connect to my tv. Any help would be much appreciated since I just found out about MHL and I'm having a difficult time figuring out what I need to buy.

does lg v20 support MHL to work with HDMI tv

hi guys
I bought the Glyph headset which needs phones with hdmi support

Not a HDMI slot on the Verizon one that I can see

Hey, the LGV20 can achieve HDMI connection via Slimport, they just released it today but is already unavailable, I contacted Slimport and they sent me the link to purchase it via Amazon, but I have to wait until it is back in stock. Here is the link - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M733OQ...TF8&colid=3VG3W7D1P2WC4&coliid=I340M8K4L0HATV
So to be clear, the LG V20 does not support MHL, the hdmi connection is achieved via Slimport which is different technology

No problem, I was excited to find out this phone can connect to a tv or any device that has hdmi via Slimport since Samsung ditched MHL for the last like 3 phones they released, so LG to the rescue! :highfive:

To be CLEARER than clear the LG v20 DOES INDEED SUPPORT MHL. Understand, MHL does require an adapter. Supporting MHL doesn't mean you don't have to buy something else inbetween the TV and the phone. What it means is the something else you have to buy is an MHL adapter. I am not familiar with this slimport adapter, but just because it does support that, does not mean it doesn't support MHL. So if you get an MHL adapter with a USB C connector that says it supports the LG v20 then you can plug the output from that adapter into your HDMI input on your television. As I have done with mine. I don't know of any smartphone nor have I ever seen one that doesn't require an adapter or adapter cable to be able to plug into a television set and share its video.
It can use any usb c to hdmi adapter. I bought a random usb c to usb a/ethernet/hdmi and hdmk, usb a and ethernet all work on the v20 with it. I know it's a necro post but seemed important
I've just tested my v20 and hooked it up to an LG tv (mhl capable) via mhl cable with a USB c adapter... It didn't work. The adapter has been confirmed to work fine...
This $10 adapter specifically lists the V20 as compatible: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0123PJ9BK
