MHL to HDMI adapter

This adapter by Samsung is originally for the Galaxy II but it will work on the Note as well, right?
I'm thinking of getting it and just want to check if anyone else has used it.

Yes it will.
Also this is a cheaper one, why dont u try it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-ADAP...K/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_1/277-0346756-7564665

I got one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cablesson-MicroUSB-HDMI-Female-Adapter/dp/B007K8NNOA/ref=pd_cp_ce_0 and it works great.

Nice one, they even ship outside UK. That is usually the problem when buying from Amazon.co.uk. Never know if you'll be able to get it until check out time.
While I'm at it, is it a good idea to also get an OTG USB host converter?
What could I use it for?

[Q] Bought a Galaxy S4 Mini - few questions

It won't arrive for a little bit (1saleaday is slow to ship), so I figure I'll ask some questions in the meantime.
Does it support MHL 2.0? I've seen conflicting info, in that some places don't even mention MHL support. And if it's not 2.0, does it require that specific 11-pin Samsung adapter? Selling my HTC One and not sure if I should just include my current 5-pin adapter with it.
Does it work with the Smart Dock like the regular S4 and whatnot? Assuming it works with MHL 2.0, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Smart Dock.
What kind of sound hardware does it have? I don't suppose its Wolfson...
Does it support exFAT for microSD? I've seen confirmation that it supports 64GB cards at least.
And any idea if it'll have a wireless charging back like for the S4? Don't know if it even supports wireless charging.

I've tried mhl 1.0 and 2.0. Both don't work. Also tried USB OTG also doesn't work.
I have a 64gb micro sd but I can't remember how it's formatted. But definitely works.

Well crap, I was banking on at least regular MHL - are you sure its not the cable you're using (as in, it requires the Samsung specific 11-pin cable)? If not, then I guess GSMarena is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).

I've tried both a cheap one from ebay and the samsung geniune one which works with my normal Galaxy S4 without using the power cable......both cable works on my normal GS4 but it doesn't work on my MIni GS4....i've also tried with or without the power cable attached and still doesn't work.

Well that really sucks. Oh well, guess I'll stick to using my Tab Plus for that for the time being.

only the samsung hdmi adapter works with the GS4 mini due to a specific protocol since it is not HML enabled. I know... it sucks, but it has other ways to connect to a TV

samsung smart TVs have this almost-like "wifi-direct" connection and you can mirror through wifi the phone's display. like sony has with their phones&TVs. you need to be connected to the same wifi... that's it

Personally I can go for one.
Screen real estate has always been a plus for me but the remote got me on this.

Where to get MHL cable?

Hi guys,
Where to get MHL cable for Nexus 7 in Europe? Where I look, all cables for Samsung devices. Maybe these cables work with Nexus 7 too?

No, MHL will not work. You need a slimport adapter. I got mine off of amazon.com.

MHL cable not working

I have a T-Mobile HTC one m8 and just bought a cheap Westinghouse TV. I'm trying to hook my phone up so I can watch videos and live tv on my tv from my phone. I just bought a MHL cable from radio shack for like 40$ and when I hook it up nothing happens. It doesn't even seem to recognize my phone. I switched the tv source to hdmi where it's plugged in and it says no source. I don't have WiFi where I'm at so this is the only way I can connect. I don't understand why it's not working. Is there a certain setting on my phone I should change or did I not buy the right cable? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks

Not all cables work with all devices. The best for the M8 are those made by HTC or LG. The adapter needs to be the standard 5 pin configuration. If you got one made for, let's say Samsung, it would have a non-standard 11 pin setup.
I've never used them myself, so I don't know about any settings for them, but you may have to mount it in setting > storage

The one I got was from Radio shack and it wasn't cheap it cost me 40$. I just looked in storage and I didn't see anything for mounting as far as connections go. But I should be able to do what I asked right? Just mirror the screen on my tv via micro usb to hdmi

It doesn't matter how much it costs if it isn't meant for your phone. What brand and model? Does it have a standard 5 pin configuration? Also, what version of MHL does it use? I believe the M8 is v1.0.

I have a tmobile HTC m8. Damm I didn't know there were different types. I just thought there was a standard. I'm not sure how many pins it has. It doesn't say it anywhere in the instructions. I'm not sure which cable to buy that would work

I googled it, and it's a crappy cable. One star reviews saying it doesn't work. http://www.radioshack.com/radioshac...tion-link-mhl-cable/1500464.html#.VSrCO_nF-ao
I'd take it back and search online for one that is confirmed to work with the M8. You can almost certainly find one that costs less as well.

This one on eBay works perfectly. 221664152668
Personally I'd much rather use a chromecast.

Would a OnePlus 3 USB Type-C OTG adapter work for OnePlus 2?

Been trying to get the damn OTG thing to work, but no luck. After a lot of searching around XDA forums, among other places, came to the realisation that only the official OnePlus MicroUSB to Type-C adapter supports OTG. Too bad they don't sell them anymore and I can't find any elsewhere online.
They do sell a newer version for the OP3 on their online store and I was wondering if that would work too. I ask because I've already got a thousand cables and adapters I've tried that didn't work, so I don't wanna drop any more cash on this.
Tried to contact OP support and they didn't really seem to understand what I wanted and just said it would work "because it's USB Type-C". Yeah, so were all the other damn cables I bought.
TL;DR: Would a OnePlus 3 USB Type-C OTG adapter work for OnePlus 2?
UPDATE: Original Xiaomi USB Type-C to Micro USB Adapter works.

Hi!
My bro had a 1+2, he bought an USB cable Type-C OTH from OnePlus store... he had tried to connect an USB several times, but it doesn't work :'(

OK awesome, so basically stay the f*** away from OP in the future is the lesson here.

Hi there, in my fourth purchase of OTG have purchased a fully compatabile one for my OP2. I am finally able to connect with out any issues. I have purchased it from Indian ebay for ₹68/- only. But works like a champ. The model or company name is MX in caps written on the OTG which is black in colour.

usb otg
When i bought my OnePlus 2 i purchased the microusb otg cable and the microusb to type c adapter and have no issues with it working. it could be a a possible compatibility issue or maybe the rom you're on doesn't support otg.

Hello. I'm from India too. I'm not finding any product branded as MX. I would really appreciate if you can share the link form where you bought it.
Thanks in advance

Little update, in case anyone else is looking for OTG support the Original Xiaomi USB Type-C to Micro USB Adapter works. They're a *bleep* to find in Europe, but you can get them on tinydeal (ships from China)
https://www.tinydeal.com/original-xiaomi-usb-type-to-micro-usb-adapter-p-156512.html
Came to the UK in less than 2 weeks with the cheapest shipping option (also free shipping available, but would've taken more than 2 weeks).

Thanksyou for letting me know. I am Happy that it is worked for you.

No

I have it, it works, but it is only more annoying since that part is large and straight under the phone

..

I use this with no issue as I can use any MicroUSB otg adapters with it and can charge the phone via MicroUSB cables in a pinch
