I've been receiving emails asking me how to connect the Samsung Galaxy S3 to a TV set with HDMI since the standard or universal MHL-to-HDMI cable won't work. This issue has been going on for a couple of years now and only a small percentage of Galaxy S3 owners actually knew the phone has a different configuration.
Samsung changed the configuration of its flagship phones starting with the Galaxy S3. Unlike the S2, which requires a 5-pin connection, the Galaxy S3 uses an adapter with 11-pin connector, which needs to be bought separately. Of course, Samsung sells the accessory. Refer to the picture below for its actual appearance.
I hope this works for you. Otherwise, my mailbox is always open to your questions. Feel free to contact me at harold@droidista.com and I may include your problem in the next publication.

Requirements

Step-By-Step Guide
- Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your TV and the other end to the port on Samsung HDMI Universal Adapter.
- Connect the charger to the charging port on the adapter and plug it in to a power source.
- Connect the microUSB connector of the adapter to the Power/Accessory Interface port on your Samsung Galaxy S3.
- Set your TV to stream feed from the HDMI port where you plugged the cable.
- Your TV should now start streaming what's on your phone's display but remember DRM-protected contents will not be displayed.
