What is the best one for me to purchase? I looked online and they vary wildly in price, and some require external power to even function.
Anyone have some recommendations?

The cable from monoprice "mhl hdmi cable for android phones and tablets" works and doesn't need a power cord, it comes with everything you need including adapters. New here, so I can't post links

Whatever you do, Don't buy the super cheap ones off Amazon. Buy the more expensive Samsung one. I've bought several cheaper ones of Amazon and they always break or have super bad quality. They have "Samsung" branded ones on Amazon for 20$ but then you run the risk of getting counterfeit. I ordered this one straight from Samsung http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA over 8 months ago, and have used it across 3 devices (S3, S4, and Note 3) and haven't had any problems. Good luck!

No problem, glad I could be helpful. Another thing I would recommend is the Samsung smart dock. Found herehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009QW3TBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382314772&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 it has a whole bunch of features. It is a USB hub, MHL adaptor, dock and headphone jack all in one. It's a bit spendy but an amazing little gadget. You can put your phone on it and just plug an HDMI cable straight into it and it works. It's pretty freaking cool.

I have several Mini USB cables and chargers (from my Blackberry I just upgraded from).
I don't want to have to get all new chargers and USB cables, so would something like this work for power + data?
I'm unable to post links, but would Item Number 180497420790 on Ebay work?
Thanks!
Any those mini-micro adapters will work. I bought one on ebay for really cheap (from HK) and it works fine, charging and data. RadioShack has both mini-micro and micro-mini, so do FredMeyer.
Here are some cheap ones on Amazon.
Amazon Price: $1.20
Here is some also

I just got 3 of these OEM Motorola ones, they work great and are better than the shorter stiff converters because they are less likely to bend your plugs due to the flexible cable.

So, what kind of cable should I get and where can one get it ?
A bit more googling turned up this link, which seems to be the right cable: http://www.blahdvd.com/Hw/Samsung-Original-Samsung-Micro-USB-TV-Out-Cable/AATCX10CBEC/product.htm
Still in the UK though, I wonder if they're available somewhere closer to home :/
the Nokia N95 TV Out cable works perfect.
I believe we have a winner (price-wise): http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.31498
4,73 American lollerdollarz and no shipping !
instead of the 3 colours is it possible to get the HDMI connection instead??

I don't think its possible to do HDMI out I'm afraid.
Can confirm Nokia cables work perfectly, I have an old one that I'm using.
They can be purchased cheaply on Ebay.

You don't think buy your not sure, hmmm lets hope you can do it, the 3 colors seem to me so old now.
I gotta have to go to shops look for a hdmi cable and try b4 you buy.
Can anyone else confirm this, if it works or not for sure?
The phone will only output analogue audio/video as far as I am aware. While you might be able to find a headphone to HDMI lead, the picture won't be any better.
Ordered a lead this morning from eBay, £1.94 delivered from the UK rather than H.K.
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
Ebay Item:

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:
http://s.dealextreme.com/search/p1000
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.

Hi all,
1st week into my S3 and well chuffed with it.
Seen the option to be able to play movies to an HDMI telly using an adapter.
There is a geniune branded one on fleabay for £20+ GBP and then a non-branded on for a fraction of that price ( ~£7.50GBP )
Just wondered whether anybody has experience either way to suggest whether the cheap option is worth it or not.
Thx

If the cheap one says its also compatible with any other phone than the S3 then it will be a 5 pin MHL connector one, and won't actually work with your S3, even though the seller says it does... The S3 uses an 11pin MHL connector. The cheap ones work fine if you add a 5 to 11 pin MHL adapter add-on ..you can find the adapter add-on for about $10 on ebay
aaah okay so I either find an 11 pin MHL or just go for genuine SS. I'll browse fleabay to see whats out there.
EDIT : This was saved in my fleabay faves, it definately says 11pin but metions S2 & S3. Would YOU trust?

Amazingly I can't even find any of those adapter tips on UK eBay, and if I set to search other countries they trying to charge on average £20 delivery so the cheapest I can find one for is £27.
So can someone point me in the right direction to get one at a reasonable price.

Guys! am I missing something here??? I'm correct to assume my S3 is 11-pin right??
Lets go back to my ebay link : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130752544096?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
This item is £7.59GBP inclusive of shipping and clearly states S3 & 11 pin in the body of the text.
So is this item good to go ?
Would the Galaxy Note one work?
Am I right in thinking that the 11 pin SGS3 MHL cable is compatible with the S2 and the Note (i.e. backwards compatible)?
Don't confuse this with the S2 and Note MHL connector working with the S3 - I know it doesn't.
Can someone actually check with an S3 MHL connector and an S2 or a Note and confirm please?
Would I be able to purchase extra OEM USB Cables like the one that came with the device? They have a really premium feel compared to other USB cables, and the connector is slim so it works really well with cases.
most likely no. You will have to look online for one you like. I can't see Google just selling USB cables. Maybe try calling LG and asking for more. (replacement or buy)
