Hey, could someone with the fone in hand confirm if Mirroring is possible through MHL as well as general video/picture sharing?
Cheers
Nobody knows, no one have a mhl cable atm
I'm hoping to be able to test this soon, as the MHL consortium are trying to source an MHL cable/adapter for me, if they are able to get one (they seem to be having some difficulty at present) then I will upload videos etc to demo this functionality. Barring them being able to supply me one then we'll be waiting until June, when the Samsung adapters are scheduled for release (listed at Clove).
Hey there NZtechfreak, I've seen your video of the SGS with bluetooth keyboard/mouse will full mirroring over rca.
Thats exactly what i want to be able to do , and I assume you are in the same boat.
I'm getting my SGS2 either today or tomorrow, so if i can somehow source a cable, i'll try it and report back here as well.
Thanks
Burko, I'll wait for your tests!!! I want to do the same thing. galaxy s II, mhl mirroring, bluetooth keyboard/mouse: a little netbook.
Thanks!!!

No mhl Support but shure you can use USB Otg on your Nexus 7.
Someday, hopefully sooner than later, there will be some wireless options available to do that type of thing. There are some demo videos showing those types of things and they are coming... wires are going away... right this sec, not avail yet.

That's good news! Hope it means we will get additional features on this phone! (MHL, USB Host maybe?)

Is S4 mini GT-I9192ZWAINU MHL compatible?
How to stream video from S4 mini GT-I9192ZWAINU to TV set using MHL/HDMI/USB?
I dont have a Samsung TV set, hence solution should be workable on all TVs having HDMI /USB port. The specification sheet on Samsung India website does not say anything about the compatibility with HDMI/ MHL. If S4 Mini is MHL compatible then I can use MHL to HDMI adaptor. Please confirm MHL compatibility.
I can confirm that MHL and USB connectivity does NOT work on the S4 Mini.
Galay gear working with MK5 update
Updated my Verizon mini to the latest update. Connected the Galaxy Gear and everything worked perfectly.
I've read this story before,please look this topic date time october 28 2013.Galaxy gear compatible already came 4.2.2 update. I think android 4.3 dont rolling out s4 mini.I will waiting 4.4.2 kitkat in march or april.

Does anyone with a Tab 4 have HDMI out working and if so which cable/adapter are you using?
I have ordered a cheap ebay cable for a Tab 3 8.0/10.1 that is supposed to have the Samsung 11 pin MLH usb plug. Does the Tab 4 use the same 11 pin jack as the Tab 3? I also saw a post here about screen mirroring for the 7.0 but nobody answered....the specs for both the Tab 3 7 and Tab 4 7 on the Samsung site show NO screen mirroring, only 8.0 and 10.1. That fact alone leads me to believe the Tab 3 cable will work.

I tried it with a monoprice adapter and it did not work, I did not spend too much time messing with it though,
I think the screen mirroring built in is via DLNA to a Smart TV or other DLNA receiver.

The specs say wired HDMI also so I am hoping the Tab 3 cable works. Is your adaper 5 pin or 11 pin, powered or unpowered. From what I have been reading the cable MUST be plugged in to USB power in addition to the tab for it to work. This is the one I have on order.

Yeah my adapter is powered but I did not have it plugged into USB. I'll try it again.
So does the Tab 4 (specificly the 8.0) support HDMI out? I notice that the US website and Best Buy mentions HDMI, but the canadian samsung website doesn't mention it.
The MLH cable I got from China does NOT work. I do have hope for the future. There are no HDMI adapters available from Samsung at this time even though they say wired HDMI is supported with an adapter that they have not made available yet! I believe the hardware support is there but it is not implemented in the TouchWiz software.

Hi I tried several adapters ordered by Amazon including this one Samsung ET-H10FAUWEGWW but no chance of getting HDMI a signal out.
Therefore I contacted Samsung using the Smart Tutor app of samsung and unfortunately after remote examining the device, they confirmed that MHL is NOT supported by this device. However this might apply only to the European versions.
So what, now I am so disappointed?! Does anybody know if Samsung maybe deactivated this feature in their ROMs, if so maybe we could get
HDMI out with a custom ROM in the future.
kind regards
Mjay
My first post!
I had this chat with a Samsung specialist a few weeks ago:
info: Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
info: You are now chatting with 'Shawn'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
info: Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK1125601075630X
Shawn: Hi, thanks for reaching out to Samsung pre sales support. We appreciate your interest in Samsung products. How may I assist you today?
Visitor: I am wondering which of the tablets support HDMI output
Shawn: I understand that you are looking for the TVs that support HDMI output. Certainly, I will help you with the information.
Visitor: Not tvs that support HDMI, but Tables, such as the galaxy tab 4 10.1
Visitor: i mean tablets
Shawn: Sorry for the mis-communication.
Visitor: no problem
Shawn: You could use the HDMI adapter with Tab 4 10.1.
Visitor: Which adapter? None of the adapters that i have found say they specifically support that model. Plus, as I I trying to decide twich model (7, 8, or 10 inch, I am not able to find out which models support HDMI, and the adapter that is required
Shawn: Please check the below link for compatible devices that support the HDMI adapter which is used to connect the Tab to the TV.
Shawn: go to Samsung dot com /us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ET-H10FAUWEGUJ-compatible
Shawn: Are you able to access the above link?
Visitor: Yes. If it states that it is compatible with the tab 3, does that mean it is also compatible with the tab 4? The tab 4 is not listed.
Shawn: Tab 4 has been recently released. Hence, it isn't listed under the compatible devices. It should also support the adapter.
Visitor: ok, thanks
Shawn: You're welcome. Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
Visitor: No, that is all, thanks again
Shawn: Thanks for chatting with Samsung Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue ?X close? button to receive the transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better.
Follow Samsung Service on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
info: Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
You have to be careful in choosing an adapter for these. The following one did NOT work for my tab 4 10.1:
Go to amazon dot com/gp/product/B00ESM3Q7K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But this one specifically says it does, and comments seem to confirm it:
Go to amazon com/gp/product/B00KGP5SEC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have one on order, and I will post my results when I get it and try it.

I wish you luck with the second cable you mentioned, but I read all 24 pages of reviews for it and the Tab 4 is not mentioned as working in any review. Half the reviews say it doesn't even work with the devices listed!
Most CS staff have very little technical knowledge. I would not put one bit of faith in a CS rep saying, oh it's not listed in the adapter specs but it should work...lol.
I would lay odds that wired HDMI out is not implemented in the kernel we have now. There are a few reports here that people lost wired HDMI out on Tab 3 after the Kit Kat update.
Well, I would think that the tab 4 would be supported as the tab 3 was, but that is why I am getting the cheap adapter rather than the official Samsung one (that one is around $75 on Amazon, but $35-$39 elsewhere). Having been in IT, I have found that most of the problems that people have are self induced, i.e. they did not read the instructions, or took shortcuts. It is worth noting that there seems to be two Samsung MHL adapters, one for the phones and one for the tablets. I do not know why they would do that, it does not make sense to me, as it causes too much confusion.
Eric
Samsung has a history of changing cables and adapters for various devices as this page explains better than most.
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/03/28/which-mhl-cable-should-i-buy/
I figure that they want to sell some $100 AllShare Cast dongles before they introduce an new hardware keyed 11 pin micro USB adapter!
I can confirm that my Canadian Tab 4 8.0 has the Samsung 11 pin micro USB jack.
I tried again after reading the reviews of that cable.....reboot both devices...powered from Tab 4 power wart....changed HDMI inputs on TV....screen mirroring on/off......NADA.....
Well, the Tab 4 does not support MHL. At the moment anyway. My 10.1 does have the 11 pin connector, AFAICT, but I get no results when plugging a cable in. BTW macbroom, my last post was not directed at you, just those who buy something and don't read the directions.

I recently purchased a AUVIO MHL adapter ( male micro USB to female HDMI) for my Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (sm-t530nu). It uses a external power supply and also included the Samsung 11 pin adapter. I had read on a website that it does support MHL so I didn't think it would be an issue. However, it did NOT work and I tried with and without the adapter. After some browsing I found a miracast/allshare dongle on amazon for 22$ with free shipping and it works like a charm for the screen mirroring. I did notice while browsing that best buy had a "accessory kit" for the tab 4 10.1 that included a wall/car charger, OTG cable, and a MHL adapter. It was a dongle that plugged into your TV HDMI port and had a USB port that you connected the tab 4s charger to. So maybe it does support it and they just made changes to the connectors pins. It may have just been a mislabeled product also, who knows.
HDMI for Tab 4s
I, too have been attempting to get my new Tab 4 10.1 to display via HDMI. And, like others, have had less than helpful information from Samsung's CSRs.
The setup I use with my Samsung S5 phone doesn't seem to work for my tablet, regardless of the order in which I hook everything up
I read elsewhere that the issue was related to the 5-pin vs. 11-pin connection, but adding an adapter for that in the mix didn't work either.
I'm not familiar with the Miracast/Allshare dongle - but that plugs into the TV, right? I had hoped to be able to display movies to a TV while on vacation, so won't know what type of TV (or associated ports) might be available...
I've found this EEEKit which is listed for the Tab 4 (bestbuy dot com/site/eeekit-bundle-3-in-1-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-4-10-1-t530mhl-to-hdmi-cable-otg-cable-sync-cable/1311158404.p?id=mp1311158404&skuId=1311158404&st=eeekit%20hdmi%20%22tab%204%22&cp=1&lp=1#tab=buyingOptions ) but no comments or reviews yet.
So, does this Tab 4 go back to the store?
As a side note: Does anyone else find that a tablet released several months ago is still considered "too new" to have accessories? Especially with a feature (HDMI and screen mirroring) that isn't new? Geesh!

As much as I hate to say it, the new Tab 4 is going back to the store! I spent some time at Best Buy with their in-store Samsung rep, who made calls to *SOMEWHERE* to verify that the Tab 4 IS NOT COMPATIBLE with MHL connections. He tells me, the only way to disply your Tab screen on a TV is through AllShare Cast. Of course, he was willing to sell me their $65 connector! Since I've already purchased MHL adapters to use with my phones, I really don't want to invest in something else for the Tab. Just not that important.
Don't forget that the Allshare Cast dongle checks the flash counter and other things and thus will not work on a rooted Tab 4 or any other device. Sadly nobody has figured out how to patch out the check yet despite it being a problem for quite a while.

Well it definitely does on the Galaxy S3. I couldn't get it working at all, searched the forums here, and found that information. Oh, and did your rooting change the flash counter or the official/custom status at all?

Ohh okay, you mean that Knox nonsense. No, sorry I didn't understand what you mean't by that. Sorry ive only owned a samsung for a few weeks. Ive only had a Atrix HD so im use to flashing until my hearts content with no repercussion. However, Towelroot doesn't change the counter on the TAB 4 so simply rooting shouldn't be a problem if done correct. That's pathetic however, they really take away someone's ability to cast their screen because they enjoy modding/ flashing their devices? Terrible road to choose for a company with such nice devices.
Well, the good thing is that Chromecast does work on the Tab 4's. The bad news is that screen mirroring is in beta, and only supported on a few devices, officially. If you search for 'Enable Mirroring from any device', you will fine a thread on how to mirror from almost any unit via chromecast. Even though it is beta, it works on my Tab 4.

I was going to purchase a Galaxy tab 4 10.1 but I want to be able to use a USB keyboard and flash drive. I was reading that it was not possible for this model to recognize OTG. Can anyone confirm that this model can or can not accept OTG connections?
The Tab 4 8" and 10.1" both have OTG. The 7" does not.

USB-OTG = on the go
tab equivalent of usb port and connection for peripherals functionality on pc.
external/usb thumb-drives , keyboards, mice, grapics tabs etc.
Samsung Tabs based on Marvell hardware do not support otg
qcom/exynos do. In some cases if you're set up right, I believe you can also adb from one tab to another.
