I have a co worker here who is attempting to hook his note 10.1 up to a projector to display his on screen presentation. I thought hey, this is pretty simple right? He even had several conversion plugs....Anyway, first we tried hooking it up via VGA from the projector > into a VGA/USB adapter >from a USB adapter into the micro USB slot on the device. The projector didn't even pick up the signal for the tablet. Next we tried a straight USB from the projector to the micros USB on the tablet (and switched it micro USB from the projector into USB adapter >USB adapter to tablet). It recognizes something is plugged in, but then the project shuts off shortly after with no signal. Tried turning on USB debugging settings in developer options, but this didn't seem to help either. I assume this is probably just a projector issue, but does anyone have other suggestions or a projector to try? Obviously easiest would be a screen cast, but most of the conference rooms still use a projector screen. I am open to anything. Thanks!

If the projector has HDMI inputs you could use a Samsung WI-FI All-Share Cast Hub, Wireless HDMI Display Adapter or a Galaxy HDMI Adapter
