YOUCable Multi-functional HDMI Connection Kit USB OTG SD TF Card Reader MHL to HDMI Adapter for Samsung S3 SIII S4 SIV Note 2

At first I thought this device was defective. After about an hour of unplugging and replugging in different ways was I able to get it to work as advertised. Forget about reading the manual, mine only came with half of one, and it wasn't very helpful at all.It looks and feels cheap, but it's actually fairly well made. The solder joints on the inside were mucked up, but the components they used were of fair quality and after hitting the joins with a hot iron it looked great.While the adapter was attached to my Note 2, it felt solid and secure. However, I need to remove my protection case just to use this thing. No matter as I'm probably going to use this without the shell around the adapter eventually anyway.I'll share how I was able to get full HDMI out, charging, and USB OTG capabilities. Just follow these steps. 1) connect any USB device you want to use, IE keyboard/mouse/etc 2) connect the HDMI cable to the adapter but not to the tv/monitor. Alternatively you can connect to the monitor and not to the adapter. Either way don't connect it to the screen you want to use just yet. 3) connect YOUR charging cable directly from your wall-charger. The cable that was sent with the adapter to provide power must not be high enough quality to power everything and USB does not have enough 'umph' to do it either. 4) plug the adapter into your phone, verify that the phone has recognized your USB device(keyboard/mouse/etc). If not, start over from step 1. If you continue to have issues, your adapter may be defective. 5) now you can connect your HDMI cable to your screen. At first nothing will happen but within 3-5 seconds your phone's screen will turn off and your tv/monitor will turn on.Over all, it was worth the $12 to get it, just don't forget to get an HDMI cable too if you don't already have one.

When I first saw this I was worried about the weight of it , and putting pressure on the usb jack of my note 3. It is very lite and I use it as shown laying flat, or supported by case in portrait orientation. I have used it with but my note 2 and note 3, and it works great. Mine had a couple issues, but support has been great working with me to see if it needed to be replaced. I was able to test hdmi, usb, and sd reader. On my unit I was not able to charge phone through kit, I tried it with hdmi plugged in and with hdmi unplugged. The other issue was the hdmi signal would drop whenever a notification came in on the phone, then return within a few seconds.Once again support has been great, looking forward to testing out replacement. I was using the samsung smart dock, but I think the phone is mush more stable laying down. I bought these for use in hotels so I can watch movies,(off microsd, thumb drive or streaming over the internet). I was able to stream from Amazon prime, crackle, Plex, etc with no issues.I will come back and update this review after testing replacement kit.

This item is actually pretty good, but there are a few reasons why I am giving it 3 stars.1) The connection is inconsistent. The device needs to be at a specific angle inside the phone's micro-USB connection to work, and sometimes cuts off connection, which would be really bad during a data transfer.2) I have not been able to successfully charge the phone while this is working, no matter what cable I use.3) This device is not case friendly.4) I also have not been able to get a keyboard or mouse to work with the USB port.Please don't let my rating deter you from purchasing this product. I love this thing, but it has a lot of flaws that I hope Patuoxun will adress if they make a new model. The USB port on this works great, and allows me to use USB zip-drives and disk drives with my phone, and the HDMI quality is great.Overall, I would recommend this product over a dock, because it is more mobile friendly (I watch movies on a portable monitor in bed using this), but just be aware that it does have its flaws.

Good product that does what it says. My only issue with this product is that I have to remove my phone from my case to use it effectively. My phone is not protected by an otterbox or any case that thick and I have never had an issue with any other plug or adapter. I have a Note 2 and the case is by Urban Armor. The tablet is a Note 8 and has a nice leather case on it. The adapter once connected to an hdmi cable has a little stress placed onto it and I need to prop something up under it as I am concerned about damaging the port on both the tablet and phone. I notified the manufacturer with my concern some time ago. Overall I am very satisfied with it just wish it had more substantial support to it and it would work without my having to remove my phone from its case.

all of the functions work well on my Galaxy S4. The HDMI does not display 1080p witch is not a huge problem for me but I do not have a large TV. the main problem that I have is that I sometimes cannot charge through this device. on this device there is a port for power but does not work sometimes and NEVER when it is plugged in to HDMI. this for me has proven to be a small problem after stopped using the HDMI. if you are buying this for a USB drive( mouse, keyboard, printer, data storage) I recommend that you get a plane OTG cable to USB.BY THE WAY galaxy s4 is compatible with a USB bus splitter, as in you can plug in a mouse, keyboard, printer and data drive all at the same time.

Received the adapter today. It works well with HDMI output to my computer's monitor. I didn't experience any lag as some users stated.I have the wireless mouse/keyboard, and they work at the same time when HDMI is plugged. The "back" button on the mouse works but for zooming you have to use your phone's screen (yes, the screen is turned off but still receive commands).My 2 cents: the micro USB to the phone could be broken easily, so always connect everything else to the adapter first then plug to the phone. And unplug from the phone first before remove others. My HDMI port is hard to plug in but still works.Update on 5/1/2014:The screen signal will disconnect sometimes.
