I am about to buy this but want to make sure HDMI out works. Has anyone tested it out? Does it need a special cord besides the micro HDMI cord? Any answer would be much appreciated.
Thanks
No

Remember, you need a Slimport HDMI adaptor or cable, not an MHL or micro HDMI lead.
I have tested it and it does work. As previously mentioned, you do need a Slimport HDMI Adapter.

Thanks. Are there better slimport adapters than others. Do you reccomend a particular one?
I bought the one from Analogix. I believe they were the original manufacturers of them. There are now a few others on the market, but I've read varying reports on the quality of those.

[Nice, thanks for the super quick reply. What type of HDMI cord does it need? because I know a regular HDMI cord will not do given the size of the micro USB port.
I guess something like this, id shop around see if you could find a better price from link above otherwise $15 aint that bad of a price

Its called MHL. It is a technology that is phenomenal and is being overlooked for the most part. Even phones that are capable of it don't advertise that they are capable of it. It is a simple adapter that plugs into your USB on your device and gives you a full size HDMI port to connect to your TV.
Does it charge your phone at the same time?

Your phone plugs into mhl, mhl has hdmi to tv. Mhl also needs a power source, so it is plugged into the wall. I think it is able to keep charged.
This creates full mirroring. Meaning you can play angry birds on your phone and have it up on the big screen

could you help me guys since it could be a deal breaker
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes you do. It's annoying. I think there's a mhl cable you can buy that has the new hdmi pins without a need for a adapter.
well I dont have the adaptor at all...
what can I do so I wont remove the case an extension or something I dont know..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
the monoprice 11-to-5 adapter has a longer-than-usual connector to allow it to work with cases.
Might be long enough to make it work with the defender case.
Hi,
I have mhl cable
I have HDMI cable.
I have LG LED HDTV
I connected the mhl cable to my s4 and connected HDMI cable to the mhl port. I switched on TV and selected the HDMI as the input but nothing is coming up on my TV screen.
In my knowledge, using mhl cable or adaptor I should be able to share my screen on my TV.
Any idea why it's not working as intended. Also is there is any way to play games on to my TV from my phone?
Your help is much appreciated.:thumbup:

Which MHL cable/adapter are you using? There are a lot of knockoffs and cheap-O brands.

Hi,
Happy Christmas
Am using Samsung mhl adaptor which I bought along with my galaxy s2.... now am trying to use it with my s4... but it's not working....
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
You need the new mhl 2.0 adapter. The s3 started with the new adapter and the one for the s2 won't work anymore

Try The Samsung Brand
Samsung Makes a MHL to HDMI OTG style converter, I got one from amazon and it works for me, They tend to be a little bit more money compared to other though
Thanks All for your replies. that makes sense.
i will try to buy one, any recommendations apart from the Samsung brand?
Thanks!!! Any Recommendations?

Hi, I am looking for a device that can put whatever is on my Nexus screen to my TV. I have tried a rocket fish MHL adapter, but it did not work. If you know of anything that will do the job for a Nexus 7 2013, please let me know!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The nexus 7 2013 uses slimport, not MHL. They can be found on amazon, ebay, etc.
I noticed the Slimport goes from in USB to HDMI female. Would I have to buy a HDMI male to male adapter then too?

Just a regular HDMI cable will be fine. The female HDMI on a Slimport lets you use a cable as short or as long as you require.

No, unfortunately the OPO does not support USB -> HDMI
Go buy yourself Google chromecast, it's pretty well the only option you have. I have a few of them around the house, and it's awesome!

I wish it could do usb to hdmi, but the world is not that benevolent.
Chromecast is probably your best bet.
Definitely Chromecast is your best bet.
