Would it work? I have a car mount already but no way to output audio and charge. Will the phone charge through the mhl adapter? Better options?
Bump!
Anyone know if it will charge or is the power input only to give power to the active HDMI connection.

Yes, The microUSB port at the bottom is used for both data connections and charging. Not only does it support USB host but it also comes with MHL enabling HDTV-out connectivity with the proper adapter.
MHL is a way of using both microUSB and HDMI through the same port. The downside is you need an adapter to use a regular HDMI cable with this one.

I've tried it several times in my car with my radio that has a usb and aux port. It will not play without the special dock attachment in the usb port but I have no way of knowing if a usb to aux cable would work because I do not have one to try.
I will be constructing and selling around 10 of these cables (Micro USB to audio out+charging). Please email me or PM me on [email protected] if interested.

I made one following the instructions on one of the threads, and although it is detected as a docking cable and the system claims to route the audio through it (the steering wheel logo appears in the status bar and I get a message "car audio dock detected"), it still plays through the internal speaker. I'm having the problem with Cyanogenmod 9 and now 10. I never tried with the stock ROM, I'm assuming it works...
I am interested in hooking up my GN to a monitor along with a mouse and keyboard. I just got bored and thought it would be fun to use my phone as a sort of computer.
I have made my own OTG USB cable and have hooked up everything separately and have full functionality of everything individually. The problem lies in the fact that video out requires a MHL HDMI adaptor... which occupies the USB plug on the phone, my only thought has been to use a USB hub as I don't have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Before I go tearing up my MHL HDMI adaptor, does anyone know if it is possible to plug the MHL adaptor into the USB hub and have it work? Are there some issues with power that I haven't even considered, since the MHL adaptor has to have its own power and even supplies the phone with electricity when connected?
Its only a $10 part, so I am going to do it if I don't get a solid answer here and will report back if it works.
Thanks
Sorry, no it won't work. When the MHL is plugged in, the USB pins are reconfigured to do the video, USB data can't work simultaneously. The best way is to get bluetooth keyboard and mouse and use the MHL adapter for the video.
Hello. I just received my mhl - hdmi adaptor and it s great. The fact that i have to plug in the charger into the adaptor restricts my movement around the TV. I want to know if i can stream from my galaxy to the TV without having to do that. I wonder if it s possible just to plug the hdmi into the adaptor and then the phone into the adaptor. Thanks !
I have an HTC M9 and an MHL cable with breakout micro USB connector. I can attach it via HDMI but cannot get my wireless Logitech keyboard with USB dongle to work at the same time. Also, if I use the fast charger it refuses to charge through the MHL adapter because of “overcharging” and when I use a non-fast charger it shows it charging but instead loses charge.
I’ve also been looking for an Android dock that will allow me to use HDMI, charging, and USB keyboard/mouse all at the same time but can find nothing that is capable of this except a Samsung dock. Is there a difference with Samsung type USB connectors that allow it to work simultaneously?
I read about MHL 3.0 and how it does 4K, 10W charging, data transfer, and charging simultaneously over a single cable. Will this work for my M9 or do I actually have to use a device that supports MHL 3.0 like the Xperia Z3?
MHL uses the data lines in the connector, so they are not available for either USB or for signaling a higher power charger. It's the way it is.
Samsung phones use a proprietary connector with additional contacts, but also require special MHL adapters. They may be able to do USB or high power charging at the same time as MHL (but not both at the same time). Not sure.
Edit: above based on MHL. MHL 3.0, not sure - HTC says it's supported, but nothing about which specific features are.
I have a cable which plugs into my charging port which then has a usb slot on the end. I want to watch films on my tablet which I can now do but I also need to be able to charge the tablet at the same time. Is there some kind of double socket I can plug into the charger point that I can then use to plug the charger and my existing usb cable into use both at the same time? What would this be called, I've tried searching splitters and adapters but this only seems to come up with car chargers which is not what I need.
Thanks!
