Hi, I wanted to give a try of MHL for my ZL C6506 (first time trying to use MHL) but I struggled with too many kinds of MHL adapters
* One with a male Micro USB on one side, male Standard HDMI on the other
* Male Micro USB + Male Standard USB, Male Standard HDMI on the other
* A little box with female HDMI + Micro USB, and male Micro USB on the other side of the device
Which will work or not on the ZL? Why? Which are the differences between each one?
Which one should I buy and why?
(Please don't tell me to use Google Cast or Miracast instead, I want MHL)
XZL C6506 UB eXistenZ 3.5.5
BRAVIA KDL-40BX425

Ok, so other than being able to sell both an MHL adaptor AND an HDMI cable (to further screw us out of more money) to be able to output audio and video from the Nexus to a compatible TV......
is there any reason that MHL adaptors all seem to be Male micro USB to Female
HDMI? Are there any that are just Male Micro USB to Male HDMI, thereby eliminating the need to carry another cable?
I have yet to find one.
Hi Experts,
i have a HDMI cable that i use to connect my HTC One X to my samsung smart TV, thts of type -
http://www.ebay.in/itm/MHL-Micro-US...1?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3a85d7b7a7
Now i want to extend the wire for another 1-2 meteres.
So basically, i will need a wire that is of the type of the charger, but female to male.
Whr do i find such a wire, what is it called, what do i search for on ebay?

would probably be more reliable if you bought a mhl (male) to female hdmi, and female micro usb to charge. then you can just use whatever normal hdmi cable you want to use. if you start mixing lots of cables and extending etc you could run into problems. It could also work. But just warning you.
If you want to stick with the cable, just google for female hdmi to male hdmi and there's lots around.
A lot of the time cables are made to a certain specification. The HDMI Specification can be found here http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/specification.aspx
Although the HDMI Spec doesn't mention a maximum length for an HDMI cable, signal attenuation limits the length of most cables. That's why you won't find many HDMI extension cables, they just aren't recommended for any kind of quality signal use.
As for MHL (which is the cable that connects to your phone), I reckon that would suffer the same limitations as HDMI.

I'm using 2 cables. At home I've got the original sony MHL-adapter and hdmi-cable. Additionally I've got a cheap red 3m cable from hdmi to micro usb and usb (for power source). Both work very good on 4.3. I didn't get any of them working on 4.2 though.
Does anything like a female USB 3.1 Type-C to male micro USB adapter exist?
I would like to use my charger from my nexus 6P to load my Z4 Tablet.
I'm looking for the same thing. My JBL Flip 3 came with the best Type C USB Micro cable I've ever seen, and I cannot find it anywhere.
In case anyone was unaware....Came across a video on YouTube and found out that one of the adapters that came with the phone, USB-C to USB Female-which was part of the SmartSwitch, turn out that it is an OTG adapter.
You can use it to connect thumb drive, usb harddrive, usb hub, keyboard and mouse...It even lets you charge another device from your phone.
The microUSB adapter is just that an adapter not OTG ....I did find a 2 pack OTG adapter for USB-C to microUSB on amazon for $7 and have verified they work too. USB 3.1 Type-C to MicroUSB 2.0 Female OTG Adapter, Gray, pack of 2, for Google Pixel/Pixel XL, Nexus 5X/6P, LG G5, Moto Z, HTC m10 & others
I think this is detailed as an OTG adapter within the owners manual anyway
