In principle, this is already quite "heavy" since the adapter needs to run an HDMI cable to connect the TV and a USB cable for power supply.
Also note that the phone does not go to sleep while it is connected to the adapter, and continues to discharge even though the adapter is connected to a USB power.
Given all that intrigue, one comes to wonder why manufacturers do not stay in the classical microHDMI port that had the merit of simplicity and efficiency.
For in fact, the adapter shows capricious ... including the Samsung Galaxy S3 .... even though it was designed for that specific phone.
The display on the TV does not always run as expected, and then you find yourself in front of a black screen. In this case, there is no choice but to reconnect the devices in a different order from that recommended by the manual. And then, miracle! This works again .. Why? This I know, and it's a mystery ... annoying.
On the other hand, if you were hoping to use the adapter with a Galaxy S4, it is better to shower your hopes up (it's for your own good).
I tested the connection with two televisions. For one, it works (under the same conditions with an S3, ie that sometimes see the devices connection order).
For another, it's the full black screen. And to do anything to resolve the issue. Digging through the settings of the TV or the telephone, nothing works. Black Screen!
So we can say, yes, the device is labeled "consistent Galaxy S3".
Admittedly, this is what I see, but I guess I'm not the only home of France and Navarre to have a S3 and S4 of.
So I question the relevance of proposing X X HDMI Adapters phones generations of the same brand.
Redo buy a new HDMI adapter every time you change phone? That may well be the purpose of the maneuver after all ...
In all cases, both pecuniary and practical level, I think that the micro-HDMI port was more interesting and that these new adapters (called MHL) decidedly more problematic than anything else.
I think the manufacturers would have been better to look to this annoying restriction "HDCP" beating down the whole point of an HDMI connection with Android phones (like the Samsung Galaxy). HDCP has this frustrating it prevents any such capture with a video acquisition device. And Android, HDCP is constantly activated, which means that it is not possible to capture a movie (that's normal) but it is not possible to capture a play session or a beast any manipulation (and it is already less logic).
The only thing one can do with the HDMI (and this adapter) is deport the display of the phone (Galaxy S3) on a TV.
To watch a video, to display a game on the big screen. Knowing that the result is not necessarily a brilliant manipulation and tedious hair.
In the end, I'm not at all convinced.
