Lisa from mobiletechreview did a smackdown between the HTC 10 and Samsung S7. In the video review she mentioned she was able to use the Microsoft Lumia (Continuum) Dock to power peripherals, connect HDMI to mirror the screen, and charge the device. This is pretty awesome and surprised many aren't talking about it. The HTC 10 may be the closest android fans get to a true desktop replacement experience (with the dock). If only android allowed running full Chrome, HTC 10 with the dock could be a chromebook/desktop replacement.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/HTC-10.htm
I will have to test when I get my 10! I have the 950xl currently and have the dock for it. It would be awesome if I could still use it! Is there any software needed installed on the 10 to run it?
This will get a lot more exciting with Android N and multitasking/free moving windows.
Any chance we'll e able to do something with RemixOS in order to get a continuum thing going?

But give me a mobile desktop and not just a screen mirror, please!
its great to see that the microsoft display dock works with the 10. but is there not a cheaper (and wired) solution than this? id really only be looking to use the HDMI screen mirroring as well as charging the device simultaneously. i havent been able to find anything though.
if this really is the only solution then the $100 will be well spent, but id still prefer something a bit cheaper.

Do you mean something like this:

I've picked up a generic USB-C to HDMI adaptor which I plan to test as soon as my 10 arrives. IF that works, I may take the plunge on a hub.

MS dock can only do 1080p. The HooToo dock can do 4K, and HTC 10 has the ability to do 4K. I would love to see my 4K videos recorded in HTC 10 straight on my 4K TV instead of doing it over wifi through cast.
That alone is 20$ worth for me. So, I would pay 120$ if HooToo works with HTC 10...

That can work but won't simultaneously charge the phone
Guys, any update on the dock? I see I'm not the only person on the planet who already started to think how to utilise fully that usb-c port. Since the review the OP posted suggests that the docking station work, that would mean others should too (most of them at least). Also there are already reports that usb-c to hdmi simple adapters work so I guess that's settled. The only thing I need and would love to is usb-c to hdmi WITH charging, but from what I can tell there is nothing like that on the web. Only usb-c to hdmi without charging. However, those hubs look pretty interesting and that's why I'm coming here as some of you mentioned they were planning to order a hub and check it out. If any of you got it already can you tell me if the charging of the phone works with the hub?
If so, I'm looking into this:
http://www.unitek-products.com/en/product_detail.php?id=430
I already have couple things from Unitek, still working till this day and I know they are solid company.
If anybody's interested I wrote a question to the guys from mobiletech and here is Lisas response:
Hi Lucas,
The Lumia dock did indeed charge the phone. USB-C charging has very exacting specifications, and I can’t say whether Unitek’s would .
best,
Lisa

So she confirmed that the Lumia dock did indeed charge the phone which is great, because it looks most likely that most of those hubs should act very alike. I will probably orded the Unitek hub over the weekend.
Im also very interested in mirroring HTC 10 through theese kind of hubs. The possibility to use it as a "computer" with simultaneous charging, monitor, keyboard and mouse is all I'm looking for. From what I heard it's quite demanding, let's just hope HTC 10 got what it takes to deliver flawless experience!
Just ordered the Unitek hub. Should be at my place sometime during the middle of this week. I'll let you know how it turned out.
Anyone considered one of these? supposedly a drop in replacement on the lumia so using that as a benchmark for compatibility.

As most people have probably already heard, the "MHL" port on the SGS3 isn't compatible with existing MHL accessories or displays (so it isn't really an MHL port then is it). See this site for more on that.
Sammie has released some over-priced accessories for it, but buying those would reward and re-inforce this move (the only nasty thing the've done on an otherwise brilliant phone) and they would probably become landfill when you get your next phone. Besides, Sammie recently indicated that this port can do more, so I guess that means they will release a second round of video accessories for this phone, making the first round landfill even before you move on to your next phone.
So, if someone really needs video output for their SGS3, what are their options?
Samsung makes a wireless (Wi-Fi) streaming video dongle for the GSIII, but this too appears to be proprietary and possibly just for the GS3. It looks like there are standards coming for wireless streaming, but they aren't here yet (e.g. Miracast).
Are there other wireless video streaming devices that work with the SGS3?
Even better, though, has any other company created accessories that are compatible with the fake MHL port on the SGS3? The best would be something that worked with the SGS3 and with standards compliant MHL devices and displays (of which there are now > 100), but I don't know if that is possible.
Actually, for some users, something a bit different might work...
DLNA for example, which allows you to play content from your phone on any smart TV. It's not the same as 'video out' for your phone, but I think some poeple are just looking for a way to get media from their phone to their display. And DLNA is very widely supported standard now.
Also, these are low cost Android 4 devices in the form of an HDMI dongle - you plug them directly into your TV:
Infinitec Pocket TV
The Kogan Smart TV HDMI dongle
:meh: For $10 you can get the adapter from Samsung to use the old MHL adapters. The new adapter allows USB OTG, if I understand correctly, that is added functionality over what the old MHL offered. I don't think they changed just to make users buy new MHL adapters.

First problem is that would mean you need an adapter for an adapter, which is a cumbersome solution.
More importantly, I believe that what you are saying is not true: I have reviewed the info from Samsung so far and it appears to me that the new adapter adapter does not support any of the additional capabilities (USB org) that Samsung has recently suggested that the 11pin port is capable of.
That means that there will be new accessories soon to enable that capability, so you will have 3 accessories for that one port, just to do one thing.

Apparently that is an implementation of the Wi-Fi alliances Miracast standard, which sounds great, but for now (i.e. until Android ships with it) it requires root access.
I have bought a few products and have been successful at hooking my note 2 up to a tv with excellent results. I want to also hook up usb hub. I have had SO much bad luck even trying to find out a solution. It seems something is wrong here... oh I see now since I read all of galaxymhl.com. If there was any chance of me paying for the Samsung dock its NOT going to happen now. Dont ever mess with a standard!
I am ready to get out my solder gun and wire it myself...

The USB does not work with the phone! So sending it back today.
I need HDMI as well as DATA simultaneously. If I missed something I am sorry. It just seems people and products are not clear about this.
If there is a site on rewiring these cables it would be awesome. Does anyone have a solution???
Could I get this adapter and us it with the custom JellyBean ROMs? (specifically Viscious Liquid 4.1.1-V1).
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-HDMI-MHL-Adapter/dp/B005NG71K8
It looks like that one goes to a regular HDMI (instead of micro HDMI) which is nice, and also has the USB port extended for charging as well.
Thanks!
I can't say if it's the exact same or not, but mine looks identical to that one, right down to the writing on it. I got it from monoprice (actually cablesonsale.ca, which sells monoprice stuff in Canada). It works great.
The micro USB port isn't just for charging though... you have to plug it in for the adapter to work. At least with mine, anyway.

Not sure if you were laughing 'at' or 'with' me, but whatever - I 'll still update this post when I get it.
Anybody have one or planning on getting one? I'm kinda bummed I'll have to get another one (already have MHL) dumb competing standards. The few available on Amazon seem overpriced (in the $30 range) for a chunk of plastic and some wire.
Buy the one from analogix. That is the official one and it does cost $30. It is pricy when compared to regular MHL adaptors, but its worth it if you plan on using it.

What the cable gets you that the chromecast doesn't is direct streaming of content. chromecast does not currently support file playback through gallery. All direct streaming from the device (not from the internet) is "beta"
So say you want to play an MP4 file, you'd need this

I didn't even notice the port was not MHL. What nincompoop opted to go with this rather than MHL? Maybe I don't know something I should here, but hasn't MHL been around for a couple years now? And is there anything allegedly superior about slimport that would make it desirable over MHL?
This is just a little disappointing to me because both of my Samsung phones use MHL and at this point my backpack is already the subject of Guantanamo style field stripping every time I fly international.

MyDP (SlimPort) adapters are appearing on eBay for less than $20USD which I think is pretty good value. SlimPort has some clear advantages over MHL (scaling/no need to have charger plugged in etc).

Haha no worries. That's true. It will take a long time to arrive. They've just been really hard to get even through Asia so just thought I'd let people know since I came across them. Thanks.
I'm looking for one too. Even the one on ebay cost around $20 from china. Not counting waiting for over a month for it. Bought more than a few items from china, and only about 50% of them ever work.
Just be careful with the non analogical brand slimport adaptors. People from the N4 were having problems with certain ones. You can check in the N4 accessories thread as there is more information about them there.

Anyone find a cheap SlimPort adapter to get HDMI out to a TV?
I've been looking and was hoping they'd come down in price by now...
I know Amazon sells others, but the one from Analogix is the official one from what I understand, and it encounters the least issues. Further, they guarantee compatibility with all Nexus devices, as well as LG devices, and one of the Chromebooks. I personally use the SlimPort by Analogix (SP1002) for my N4, and it works very well. There is a new model out now (SP1003), which came out in July, which replaced the older model. From what I understand, it allows for better charging capabilities.

I was tempted by some of the less expensive Slimport adapters on Amazon, but eventually decided to go with the Analogix (SP1003-2116). It is just under $30 and if you are a Amazon Prime member free two day shipping. It seemed to get much better reviews than the other Slimport adapters. Mine came in the mail today along with a wireless charger. Hopefully my N5 arrives Monday so they can play.

Ah, this is just oversea Chinese TaoBao site.
The UGreen Adapter is well sold in China here, with . And indeed,, I didn't buy it.
But I have read enough reviews so let's me show you the conclusion.
This adapter is worth buying. Of more than 2000+ Good reviews only one or two complain with bad display. I think this is normal quality. Most just said it did show a very low delay and very convenient for watching TV , playing Games or making a PPT show.
Anyway, if I really needed this adapter maybe for business or some other reason, I would buy it.
