Hey Carl,
Quick Connect is such a good feature to utilize with your awesome Galaxy Tab 8.0.
In case you have yet to locate quick connect, here is a great Samsung support guide to get this feature set up. This link also highlights the second option to mirror your tablet to different devices.
If you are still having trouble finding quick connect, or connecting the tablet to the TV, I recommend a reboot of the tablet. A reboot of powering the tablet off and back on can sometimes refresh the system software, encouraging a fresh platform to connect from.
Most of the Galaxy Tab A models do not support an MHL signal with an adapter between the micro-USB port to HDMI port. To connect it to a TV, you'd need a Chromecast or similar device connected to the HDMI port of the TV. Then connect your tablet to the Chromecast for screen-sharing. For some TVs with wi-fi, you can use the All-Share app instead.
This is the case for the Galaxy Tab A (2016) 10.1" model. I don't see any Galaxy Tab A devices with MHL support here: http://www.mhltech.org/devices.aspx . Samsung stopped providing the MHL connections on most of the devices by 2015, depending on the country where the device was sold. See http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/02/05/mhl-adapter-samsung-galaxy-need/ . To check your device, look at the micro-USB port, if it has 11 pins then it might support MHL.
I wish that I had better news for you. Please add a comment with the generation/year of production for your Galaxy Tab A for further information about the specifications.
It could be your router. Mine shows im connected all the time, but there are times i camt access the web (on mobile ~ meanwhile my pc and tv are streaming fine) rebooted my modem and router and solved. :/ until next time
Hi Ethan Douglas,
maybe your netbook still thinks its connected, so it redirects all media to HDMI.
Try connecting it to a TV via HDMI, check your media if its playing like it should (on TV let's say), and then disconnect it. That might do the trick.
Buy a compatible HD cable. Depending on your device this may vary. If you have a Samsung tablet, it will connect to your TV if your TV is also a Samsung Smart TV.
