At first I did not realize that the adapter REQUIRES external power. There is a female micro-USB port on the side of the adapter to plug your phone's charging cable into. It wasn't until I read another reviewer's comments here that I realized my mistake. Duh!So there are 4 connections required: 1) Adapter's micro-USB male to phone's micro-USB female 2) Phone charging cable's micro-USB male to adapter's micro-USB female (the adapter's power source) 3) Standard HDMI cable male to adapter's HDMI female 4) Other male end of standard HDMI cable to HDMI equipped display or TV 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Menotek Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter IMPROVED WITH RCP (Remote Control Protocol) for Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Evo 4G Tablet, HTC Sensation 4G, Sprint Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy Nexus (Electronics) Like others who purchased this product, I am using it with my Samsung Galaxy S2 (a Sprint Epic 4G Touch). Initially I couldn't get it to work, but that's because I missed the female micro USB port on the side. I had ignorantly thought the TV would power the phone via HDMI but, whether the phone requires charging or not, the adapter has to be connected to a power source via a micro USB charging cable. I plugged the other end of my charging cable into a USB port on the side of my Samsung LN55C630. It is somewhat awkward connecting this charging cable as it T bones the adapter. I think a better design would have allowed all connected cables to be parallel with one another.The phone's Android interface looks so-so on my TV and I'm guessing its because the phone is at 800x480 resolution while the TV resolution is much higher. There was also a bit of overscan as some of the notification icons at the top of the Android display were somewhat cropped. A higher resolution video...

I recently saw that it now supports RCP (Remote Control Protocol), so I was interested to see how it works and ordered it. I connected it to my Samsung TV and it works perfectly. I am able to control my media files through my Samsung remote. I can fast forward, rewind, pause, and play with the remote while my phone is not near me. This is useful while listening to music because I do not need the phone near me to switch between songs or fast forward. It turns out that RCP will work with any tv that supports Anynet+. I tried it on my Dynex TV and RCP did nto work on that. I tried several other adpaters because I wanted to see what the difference was especially with some costing more and some less. I found that there were generic adapters that cost a lot less at $9.00 but they did not have the RCP function and the quality was not that good. I also tried the Skiva adapter and Samsung one. Both did... Read more |
