S3 MHL

[zachthebomb13]

Good Morning all,

I'm interested in the MHL technology, and thought I'd ask the real experts here on how it works. First, are you using the new 11 pin cable, or are you still using the old one with the adapter? Does the phone charge well, or is it kind of weak (I've heard with mhl it doesn't really "charge" your phone, just gives it a little bit of juice)? Any other general thoughts on the matter? Thanks for your help.

Zach

From my experience, my MHL Adapter plugs into the USB port with HDMI output which is 11pin as I heard the 5 pin does not work. On the side of the adapter, I can plug in MicroUSB to charge the phone as well.

Thanks. When charging does it actually charge it well, like if you had it plugged into the wall?
