MHL adapter for HTC One?

Does the HTC One use a standard Micro-USB (5-pin) to MHL adapter?
If so, does HTC make any official adapters?
I've found an older model called MTC AC M490 (for HTC Evo) but it's discontinued. I'm surprised because it has fantastic reviews and I'm guessing it would still work on the HTC One...
If not, can anybody recommend me a good adapter that can also charge the phone?

I ordered this one 3 weeks ago when it was in stock for less than £2.
Works with my HOX and One

Why settle for mhl when it supports miracast? This is wireless screen mirroring. You need supported hardware but HTC sells one, media hub I think?

Only problem is, it does nor support 1080p output while our phone does.
So other option is Panasonic box or LG box either are out in Europe yet.

If he's like me and owns the Pioneer appradio 2, the MHL adapter is practically a must with arliberator. It's not the only way to go, but works the best hands down.
Just saying.

Has anyone found an adapter that isn't laggy?

Managed to sort it out, i had to turn off game mode as the tv was trying to draw extra frames.
All running sweet now with no lag.

Pipeline makes a very nice MHL adapter. I say because I have for the LTE and it's a solid piece of tech
Shifted from the bottom of the rabbit hole

Mhl 1.0 supports 1080p at 30fps
mhl 2.0 supports 1080p at 60fps
Our phone is 2.0 capable. If you already bought an mhl adapter for your phone prior to owning this phone chances are it's 1.0. I am using the adapter I used for my Evo LTE and it looks great.

got a link for an mhl 2.0 adapter on amazon?

The only one I know of that is 2.0 is the one offered by htc only because it's labeled as such. No one else seems to list 1.0 or 2.0.

Can anyone recommend an MHL adapter on Amazon? Also, I didn't see an MHL cable as an accessory for the One on the HTC website.
Also, I haven't had a phone that supports MHL before - does it require a power cord for the adapter? I've read mixed stories about some devices requiring the adapter to be connected to a power source as well versus other devices not requiring the extra power source/cable.
Is the TV remote able to send signals to the HTC One, as described in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link#Features said:
The TV remote will control the connected device with guaranteed mixed manufacturer interoperability (CEC).[7] (Also see Silicon Image's press release about MHL on December 14, 2010). Note: The built-in Remote Control Protocol(RCP) function allows you to use the remote control of the TV to operate the MHL mobile device through TV’s Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) function.

Also... I sometimes use an HDMI to DVI adapter to use a computer monitor as a display for some devices that output HDMI (like say for instance my PS3). Would this have any chance of working or is the signaling just entirely different? (ie connecting HTC One to a DVI computer monitor)

The first implementations use the most popular mobile connection (micro USB) and the most popular TV connection (HDMI). Other than the physical connectors, USB and HDMI technology are not being used. It is exclusively MHL signaling through the connectors and over the cable.

I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/161009409501
It is NOT mhl 2.0, tested the mhl adapter with epic citadel. When not connected, I get get an average of 57 fps on the benchmark. When connected to TV @ 1080p, its locked at 30fps max.
I can confirm that the HTC One does NOT require a power source connected to the MHL adapter to work. Older phones needed a power source

Does anyone know if there are any MHL 2.0 Adapters? Cause I can't seem to find them online or on eBay

I,m also searching an MHL 2.0 cable, i found this one :
http://alturl.com/vtu4r
it says MHL 2.0 Adapter, but : Samsung Galaxy S4 / S3 / Note 2 ONLY !
I think i will buy this one :

Where is there information on the One being MHL 2.0 capable? As far as I know the MHL consortium have confirmed the S4 as the first (and presently only) MHL 2.0 spec device on their twitter feed. Not the sort of news they would ordinarily omit.

On wikipedia both MHL and HTC One pages list the device specifically as MHL 2.0. HTC's site say MHL capable but doesn't say 1.0 or 2.0. I guess I can't find an official source of it saying that it is 2.0. If this is 2.0 then of course the One was the first phone released with MHL 2.0.

Yeah, the Wikipedia page is all I could find. Personally I find the MHL Consortium a much more credible source, and they say the S4 is the first MHL 2.0 spec device. I don't think the One has it.

I think I'd rather spend less than $10 on an MHL 1.0 cable :/
Are there any affordable MHL 2.0?? Lol

micro usb to HDMI Adapter

Has anyone one bought a micro usb to HDMI adapter that actually work with their tablet? I bought one and did not work so I'm hoping people can recommend a working one. I'm wondering about the MHL 2.0 To HDMI 1080P HDTV Adapter but have not seen any reviews mentioning whether it works on the Note 10.1 2014 edition. Thank you.

I am not sure if this option would work. But maybe Google chromecast would be a better solution. Wirelessly send media to TV through your network with it possibly.

chromecast is a great, inexpensive product but very limited compared to allshare or just using hdmi out.
i've rooted my chromecast and put it back in it's box in storage. that's all i've used it for so far.

[Q] slimport HDMI adapter for TV

I bought a slimport adapter for the G pad to output video/audio to my TV so I can watch movies from the tablet. Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all. Could it be that this adapter doesn't work with my ROM (AOKP 4.4.2)? Or is the adapter possibly garbage?
Any advice/experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

Genuine, or not...

It's maybe sold has a SlimPort one. They are apparently indenticals...
Regarding AOKP ROM i can't tel sorry.

Can you also try CM11, please?
I think it's rather a ROM than an adapter problem..

It works. It is a problem with the roms. I think we'll have to wait a while for a lot of the kinks the AOSP roms to be worked out. Some sensors and such also doesn't work very well atm. SlimPort deffo works on stock rom as you can see in the video above.

No, It doesn't have any DP logo. I think I'm just going to sell the adapter and try connecting with Miracast.

Yeah, it's probably a ROM issue. I'm not willing to switch to CM right now and re-install everything just to test it. I think I'll try some other mirroring technology like Miracast.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any experience with Miracast? I bought an adapter for my TV. I'm going to try that to see how it works.

For what it's worth, I bought the Cable Matters slim port adapter I had seen recommended here - as far as I can tell, it's DOA.
I went back and read the reviews on Amazon; it appears that this has become an increasingly common issue with this particular adapter.
I'm still on the stock ROM.

I've never outputted or inputted anything through hdmi or slimport myself, from a tablet that is. My advice would be to check out what the slimport connector supports.. A specsheet from somewhere. Surely it must be documented somewhere. Since the guy in the vid was able to output audio and video plus doing a usb read, I guess it can do a few things.
Sorry, I only know that the port supports video out.

I'm not willing to switch to CM right now and re-install everything just to test it. I think I'll try some other mirroring technology like Miracast. :fingers-crossed:

I don't think that MHL adapters will work, because the G Pad hardware supports Slimport instead. Slimport adapters are available for either HDMI or VGA output. I don't know if anybody here has used a Slimport-VGA adapter, but I assume that it will work.
You can find them on Amazon.

I can confirm that MHL adapter - microUSB to HDMI - does not work.

Thanks for testing. We definitely need a Slimport Adapter then.
Other question, does Slimport works on CMB? (I can't post in the CMB thread yet, I'm below the 10 posts restriction... )

[Q] How to output to TV?

I've been trying to figure out how to mirror my Nexus 7's display to my standard TV. I believe I need a composite cable to do this. Is there any way I can directly output from the Nexus 7 to composite? Or do I have to go Nexus 7 > HDMI > HDMI to Composite Converter > TV? I'm just searching around for the cheapest possible solution, thanks!

Yeah i know what are you trying to do, but actually the only way to get wired audio/video signal is to use the slimport adaptor. (With wireless you would use Miracast but this isn't your case) So in your case you must use the slimport, the hdmi to composite adaptor and i think you should be good.

It would work fine with every device that support Slimport, newer devices do like LG G2, G Pad 8.3, Nexus 5 and so on. But you should check on the specifications of your devices. Before Slimport productors used to support MHL, which is almost the same but it keeps busy the USB port and on display that doesn't support MHL you should even buy an adapter which even needs external power supply.. if you can see on the Analogix Slimport adaptor you got a microUSB and the HDMI, the first is just for using it as the device one and HDMI for streaming. I was reading that Slimport has some limitations about the length of the HDMI cable, something like that it needs to be not longer than 50 centimeters otherwise you'd encounter problems..
Anyway i think that the Slimport adapter that costs just 15 bucks will be great.

Alright, looks like the SlimPort isn't going to work with the Samsung devices. Is there a cheap alternative so I can switch between Nexus 7 and the other devices? Specifically the S3 and S2 (Epic 4G Touch)

I think the only way is to use Wi-Fi Direct/DLNA. If you're gonna cast your screen just for viewing youtube, netflix and stuff like that, you could use the Chromecast, which does that particular job. It can't cast the entire screen but movies, audio (and other DLNA stuff) and compatible apps (you need to see on its webpage) can right now. To cast the entire screen you would need the Miracast technology but i don't know if there are any good dongles on the market that permit to do that as chromecast does. I hope you know what I mean, i'm not a native english speaker
You should take a look at the Chromecast if that can do what you need, or you can see Miracast dongles like this but i can't suggest anything

OK, I'm trying to do the same. I bought a slimport adapter and a HDMI to composite adapter. My N7 works just fine from slimport to HDMI to the TV, but doesn't work when I add the HDMI to composite adapter. However, if I hook my cable box through HDMI to the composite adapter, all works well. So its something from that slimport out of the tablet to the other adapter. What I'm trying to do is get the display mirrored in my van for the kids and the van only has composite inputs. I'm at a loss.

MHL to HDMI adapter?

Hi guys,
I was looking MHL adapter talking there but didint find (or I'm blind)
I would like to watch Netflix on bigger screen on my trips, example on hotel TV or friends place
I looked from Internet and eBay and there is so many different adapter (and so big price difference) that I would be very happy if someone can tell me if have found working MHL adapter for Oneplus 2?
Or is this impossible and only way is maybe use Chromecast?
Thank you

No MHL support i think, so chromecast or send screen are the options.

Look at this

Hi,
Just to use this treat.
I'm looking for MHL adapter too
I also found this video. Can someone confirm please is it possible to connect my OnePlus 2 via HDMI cable to my TV.
Thanks in advance and good day to all.
