Samsung MHL to HDMI Adapter not working??

llcooljazz · 30th May 2012, 01:32 PM

Hi

I tried my old Bizlink with my S3 - it definitely does not work. Apparently only the new cable (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) will work.

MobileFun expect their new HDTV adaptors on Friday.

Well, this is annoying. My old Samsung official MHL one doesn't work, and neither does my prototype one from the MHL consortium. Would like to know how Samsung explain messing up a connection standard?

My speculation: they have changed it so that the adapter delivers more charge to the S3 during MHL connection sessions...

Thats what i thought also !! Samsung must have changed the power requirement for the newer model. Its very annoying from Samsung i agree.

Got a confirmation from Samsung that the MHL adapter sold for the SGS2 won't work for the SGS3. They didn't mention whether they would release a new one, but I assume they will.

Pretty sure they won't work. Just wait for the official adapter.

They won't work. They will have said that in anticipation of them working (which is entirely fair enough on their part, since, you know, MHL is a connections standard that Samsung seem to have messed up).

TV Output should be work as 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080 resolution?

It will mirror the phones display at 1280x720p, but will output HD video to the videos actual resolution up to full HD.

(when we have a working MHL adapter that is)
