MHL Adapter

Hi, im looking to buy a samsung mhl adapter however my tv only has rca connect, if i buy a hdmi to rca cable will the video still display on my tv.. i.e hdmi goes into mhl adapter and rca goes into tv... Thankyou

No, it wont work..if its just a simple adapter. Via HDMI or DVI... you get a digital signal. RCA or VGA...ect. you get a analog signal. It's not compatible to each other, except you connect a hdmi/rca converter between the two cables. Simple adapter from china just won't work..

You need a converter -- HDMI is a digital signal, whereas composite video (the single yellow RCA cable) or component video (red/green/blue RCA cables) are analog.
Something like this one from Monoprice will do the trick. eBay and Amazon also carry devices like this, in the same price range.

Thanks alot guys i will be buying a converter...

Hopefully you're aware that the video quality from composite will be quite poor.
Presumably if your TV doesn't have HDMI or VGA connectors then it's probably still a CRT screen?

[Q] MHL HDMI working through a USB hub?

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.

Hdmi to dvi audio

Hey quick question, i wanna connect my phone to a lcd computer monitor i have, I already have the samsung hdmi out cable and was thinking of getting a dvi to hdmi cable since the monitor doesnt support hdmi. My problem is that dvi doesnt support audio. so, are there any cheap dvi to hdmi cables that have an audio out? or is there some way of letting the phone output video over hdmi and sending the audio through the headphone slot like normal?

mhl-hdmi adaptor - without charger

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 !

USB Type-C to HDMI - watch phone screen via HDMI projector

I purchased a USB Type-c to HDMI cable recently. My plan was to plug the HDMI end into my projector and view the phone screen that way.
I have tried with two smart TVs as well as the projector with no result.
I look on the sources of all HDMI and nothing changes.
The phone does not provide an automatic option e.g. no message to enable the HDMI connected device.
I have went through all of the TV and projector settings with no result.
All TVs and projector work fine for a laptop that also has HDMI to HDMI.
Any ideas of is this a step to far for the lite?
I see that the better phones have 'desktop' or 'project' mode.

Unfortunately p20 lite does not support type c to hdmi out. You can cast via any caat device.
