I just received this in the mail and cannot get it to work with my Galaxy S4. I have tried two TVs (Samsung and Vizio) but no picture is displayed.

Hi, at first mind would not pull up the pictures. but then I tried plugging in the charging cable, and wiggled the cables around and it popped up. Make sure cables arent hanging off. It does better when cables are scrunched up by device.

Mine has worked on both samsung and vizio. Just make sure to keep the cables bunched up, and try wiggling the plug part a bit!

This is a common problem with the Samsung TV's, there are posts all over the internet about it. Fixes range from resetting the Smart Hub software to resetting the TV to factory defaults to having the mainboard in the TV replaced. I tried everything I could find (except having the mainboard replaced) and none of them worked. After hours of trying to figure out why HBOgo would work and not Netflix, I tried placing my TV's IP address in the DMZ of my router. Much to my surprise, this worked. I didn't want to leave it there, so I looked for updates to my router firmware. After updating the router firmware, I was able to take the TV out of the DMZ and Netflix continued to function. Apparently the Samsung Netflix app uses some sort of network traffic the old firmware didn't support. Before updating the router, Netflix streamed fine to my PC, Boxee Box and DVD player, but not to the TV...so I know it has to be an issue with the newer app... The Netflix setup is my only complaint about this TV, with how long Netflix has been around, you wouldn't think this would be an issue anymore.

I purchased the cable and it works great on several different brands of TV,s that I have. I dont know about the Samsung model you mention, but if it has a standard HDMI connector I see no reason why it want work.Walt.

It did not work for my S4 but it worked great for my Note3. You will need it if you do not own a Samsung TV. But if you do, then it can be done wireless. And you would not need this product

I tried it with my Samsung Smart TV. Couldn't get it to work, so I returned it.

No, this device is not working at all with my Samsung S4. It's a piece of junk from China.

I have a Samsung. I could only hook it up using an optical cable. Ur Vizio should have a place for one.

It never worked for me, it's highly dependent on your tv brand and samsung hd tvs seem to be an issue with this.

I'm using G2 and could not work it by Samsung 32' Led TV (It is 4yrs old). I don't know, may be your phone devices and tv may suitable. I can''t confirm that it is ok.

Hi, I bought to use on my old Galaxy S, but unfortunately not work for me. SAMSUMG recommend contact and ask if they have the original cable.For the Galaxy S "use original Samsung cable (HDTV Adapter-micro usb type), and works perfectly. Visit www.samsungmobile.com pageCheers and good luck.

I have an GS3 with an HDMI kit purchased on Amazon that does not work well, the S3 is sort of known for terrible MHL implementation. I don't think this actually supports Mirror Link. I have had two of them (AVHX8500's), one didn't work with appradio mode at all, with no firmware updates available. Got a second for another car, and it mirrors my phone display, so it could have been added at some point but not supported in older models. Watch out for the revision I guess. Look into ARLiberator on the Play store, that appears to add display mirror with touch control, but requires root.

My view is that the S4 in all versions doesn't have an mini HDMI output port as far as I know looking at the specs. The only port is a mini UBS port which is used for charger and other devices. This doesn't work in such a port. Check your manual, and you'll find the charging port is a mini USB. This is a mini HDMI connector that will not work. The S4 can't output HDMI. It can record in HD, but that goes on the SD card you can use, not for pumping out HD externally.

It will work. We got one and used it a year ago to view a downloaded program on our TV. I would not work for us either on the first try, but a change to one of the S3 settings fixed that. Sadly, I can't remember what it was, but we read it in the other comments on the product. Sorry I'm not of more assistance other than confirming it can be done.

We need more information. Did U install the software on the Samsung and did the installation go well? Please send more details, as your Samsung does not recognize the device or the cord is bad

Sorry I don't have a S4, but my S3 doesn't work at all on any LG tvs at all.
