Has anyone had any luck using an a Micro USB to HDMI adapter?
I am trying to get my adapter working with the Optimus G Pro but having no luck. It does work fine with my Galaxy Note and my brother's Droid Razr Maxx HD. I read an article stating that MHL does not work with this phone yet the specs that are advertised state that the micro USB connection supports MHL.
Any input would be great.
Thanks.
If you're using the mhl adapter, that's the problem. No need for mhl at all.

What do you mean?
Am I correct in saying that the only way to view your home screen and games on the big screen is to use the miracast device or an MHL adapter? I can already view videos wirelessly through DLNA but I want to do more than just watch media.

I'll check when I get home, I wouldn't guess it would be an issue with this phone

OGPro doesn't support mhl. Straight USB to HDMI is what u need.
MHL adapter won't work. You'll need a SlimPort adapter, which is much more expensive.
Thanks Guys I'll get one and try it out.

will any mhl adapter work? or does it need to be a specific mhl adapter for samsung note 8?
I'm currently using the MHL adapter for S3 and Snote 2 for my Note 8 and works flawlessly. I think in order to works best, you need to plug in with the power adapter too which is a faeture of Samsung's MHL adapters
the power adapter?

Every mhl adapter requires you to plug your charger and micro usb cable into the adapter to provide power to the phone while using the mhl adapter. You have to make sure you purchase an mhl adapter that is compatible with Samsung devices. Samsung uses an 11 pin micro usb/mhl port where as HTC only had a 5 pin. My mhl adapter that I used with all my HTC phones will not work with my Samsung devices.

That is not what you need, that is to convert a non-samsung mhl adapter to work with a Samsung phone or tablet. Just search for Samsung mhl and look for one that says it works with a Galaxy s4 or s3 and it will work with the note 8.

Sorry to revive an old thread. I am in the position of looking for an MHL adapter for my Note 8. Can you share the exact model of the one that you have? I would very much appreciate that.
Thanks.
I just purchased USB MHL Hdmi adapter, but it is not working for my G Pad 8.3 when I connect it to my HDTV. Power is connected.

G Pad 8.3 is not MHL compliant. It has a Slimport compatible microUSB port. You should have buy a slimport adapter, not an MHL adapter.

I'm looking for an MHL cable which allows:
Full HD hdmi output
Charge the phone while in use
Can still use USB OTG to connect a keyboard/mouse dongle
Is this even possible?

Works fine for me.
I don't know about the keyboard part, but that shouldn't be a problem I assume.
This particular one is sold out, but shouldn't be hard to find someone else that sells the same. Only bad part is that the power cable part is short.
Thanks!
Meanwhile I found these:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/271566140891
I'm tempted to buy one, and see if they work.
Im wondering if we can output 1080p since z3c screen is only 720p
I'm amazed with this phone. Just tested a USB Ethernet dongle and it worked flawlessly out of the box.

z3c can output 4k videos over mhl, phone screen resolution has nothing to do with it

If your TV has an MHL port, passive MHL cable and you have an adapter, the extra micro usb on the adapter should be ok for USB OTG.
Sorry, but this a dumb, MHL noob question. Will any old micro-usb MHL adapter work, or do I need one specifically for a Sony phone or something?
Thanks
Hello XDA,
I have just purchased a HDMI slimport adapter to connect my nexus 5 to my LCD screen. But for some reason it is not showing anything. I wanted to know if the HDMI cable I am using is apt to connect the slimport to the TV set. This is the cable that I am using. I am also posting the link the slimport adapter that I purchased. Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks
