Default Skyrocket MHL / JIG / OTG Cables ?

Hello team

Just been searching through and ive seen a few good hand of people discussing the adapter working well for the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket by AT&T . Was really hoping some people could point me to an excellent cable that works. I saw so many online, i just wasnt sure which one would work correctly , or most importantly work well

Would like links for MHL and a OTG cable if possible. Thanks in advanced for help

Phone currently running SKY ICS


A little bit of searching and i found these. Any thoughts/

The jig says in the description that it doesn't work on our phone, is that true.

I appreciate you posting this. Was just researching on the OTG as well. Ordering mine from Amazon now. Already had the mhl for 6 months. Was worried that the otg cable would not power a thumb drive. Now I know. Thanks!

For a USB powered external hdd you need a powered USB hub. If you plug in the hdd directly into the otg cable it does not work.
If your hdd has its own power supply then it works directly.

The phone battery is not enough to power the hdd.
