Sorry if someone else asked this question before.
I saw the spec of Optimus G does support USB host, however, when I try to plug in the OTG, nothing shows up, i tried stick mount and other apps, still not working.
Anyone know does OG has OTG? or just like Nexus 4, it is a lie?

As i know it doesnt, nothing in specs either
It shows "USB Host" on GSMArena
sent from my E971 Optimus G
I can write "LG Optimus G has Intel Core i7 CPU".
Will be that the official specs? Same with GSM-Arena.
The specs says MHL ready, but nothing about USB-OTG.
no,nexus 4,g,lte2,those phones don't support otg.
I hope USB otg work fine on Optimus G .
I need to use keyboard on my phone
There is no usb host on OG,can you read?

In my opinion LGOG supports USB OTG (USB Host) but we don't the trick which will make it working as I got these results on my one. You can see my screen shoots that shows it supports usb host but still I can't connect any usb device to my phone. Moders at this forum can make it working if they want.:good:
Maybe its working for controlers,gamepads. . .
But i dont think that support for external drives is going to work,ever

USB OTG on E975 requires external power supply to the peripheral device or the phone can power it by itself?
I guys, maybe I'll buy LG Optimus G for xmas. The only lack of this phone, imho, is the missing SD card slot. It won't be a lack if this phone supported OTG, but, as lot of us know, microusb on this phone doesn't provide 5V output, so it's impossibile to connect other usb devices to OG.
5V output is not the only requirement to make USB OTG work, but 5V usb power can be easily supplied with a Y cable with one end connected to a power source (computer or phone charger itself or external emergency batteries). OTG needs also compatibile soc (snapdragon s4 pro is compatible for sure), kernel support (it should be enough to connect devices, such as usb gamepads) and software support (for example to read what's on a usb stick). Software support is easier than 5V, lot of free and well know softwares can be found on googleplay. So only kernel support is the last enemy. I'm not able to compile kernels or other stuff like this, but, as I saw for other devices (even mid-range like some samsungs with novathor chipset) or for OG's almost-twin Nexus 4 which has the same situation of OG, kernel support can be easily integrated by people with some skills in android programming.... So, is there anyone who can try to add kernel support?

I got that working 3-4 months ago.
There's a kernel from Houstonn's AOSP 4.4 kiktkat ROM.
Try that, I used OTG for like 1 month And then moved to stock again.

Have you tried slim port adapter? My g4 wont be here for about a week to test.
Add: After googling what the Lg G3 had, which was a slimport I checked LG's website. It says it uses "HDMI SlimPort(4K)".
http://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/g4/specifications.jsp
Has anyone picked up a slimport adapter for the g4? Looking for one that is guaranteed to work.

What setting are you looking for?
I tried my slimport (not MHL) adapter and it worked the same way as for the G2. Screen mirroring on the TV. When playing videos using the built in video app they only play on the TV.
Link to it?

Alright, pulled my Slimport Adapter out of my Pioneer App Radio and it doesn't work with my TV either. This same adapter worked with my Nexus 4.
All LG Flagship are enabled with Slim-Port - Connecting Technology.
LG G4 is in list of the official slim-port Supported Devices here: www.slimportconnect.com/slimport-supported-devices/.

Recommend this from Amazon.com and also found a tutorial video at YouTube.com here.
Frigidazzi you said your phone would be there in about a week, that was 4 months ago? This can't be that hard I am still screen mirroring from my s3 as my s5 was stolen but my g4 does not work with this adapter or any of the other 4 that I have tried. This can't be this difficult if I don't accomplish something this week I will use my 14 day option and return this phone. Anyone have any answers?
I have a taiwan 815 and i bought a combo slimport adapter which has a card reader and USB OTG it works fine

You might need a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter. Your mhl cable might be a 1.0 which is older tech

Lg4 does support mhl. It requires a slimport MHL. I just bought an Accell slimport Mhl. Works perfect. It took a few trys before I found this. Also, Lg4 supports 4K.
Is MHL micro usb to hdmi compatible with the LG G4 and LG G tab?
Did anybody already try if the OnePlus 3 support anything like MHL or SlimPort adapter. If yes which adapter did you use.
Thanks
The question also interests me.
Same here
the answer is on the internet. Easy to find. No. Use Chromecast.
I not found the answer on the net, so I ask here if someone already tried. I do not Chromecast.

Nobody tested it all is only speculation. Unless someone tried so this information is not confirmed. The only difference USB C 3.1 and USB C 2.0 is the data stream.
i've tried a mhl cable with a micro usb to type c adaptor, and type c to hdmi adaptor, nothing work so far.
PS: it's running cm 13 rom, don't know if that matters.
According to oneplus live chat support, the oneplus 3 does not support slim port. Apparently it is compatible with MHL though.

I haven't seen anyone even try a MHL cable yet though. I'm thinking of buying This as it has power as well, if its USB 2.0 and not 3.0 gen 2 then wouldn't a 3.0 gen 2 cable be backwards compatible? I asked 1+ about this cable and they said that they see no reason why it wouldn't work.
I buyed this, and it don't works.
Only USB ports works.

Can you use it to mirror screen ? or any other Option ?
Oneplus doesnt support slimport or mhl, both of them require hardware support. Unfortunately none of them included in hardware.
This one maybe work

What about this one?
I found this one http://paradisdiscount.com/oneplus-3/46001-cable-chargeur-adaptateur
Seems to be a French page...I hesitate to try,since it should according to the description but one plus is not supposed to have mhl output...
So, did someone manage to connect the OnePlus 3 to a TV with an MHL cable (USB-C -> HDMI) ?
(YESSSSS I know Chromecast, I use it everyday, the question is about MHL cable...)

But, it is not the same, if you want to play with your smartphone in the tv, you need hdmi, streaming has much lag.

I'm experiencing the same issue on G7 Thinq and suspected the USB-C to HDMI cable. Is this really just not supported on the G7? They're trying to force us to use a streaming device by excluding this very basic and reliable functionality?

LG has disabled this feature by software.
As you can see in the attached screen, the smartphone detect a displayport adapter, but the tv out is disabled via software.
I have been researching into the kernel source, and I have discovered how they have disabled this feature, I have uploaded the hdmi_Kconfig file from LG v30, and Samsung Galaxy S9, both of them support HDMI out, and LG G7.
There you can see waht I have explained.
If it would have some developeres interested in this device, they could take back this feture to LG G7.
usb c to hdmi cable
When it comes to technology, I think I'm pretty up to date but I was a little behind the curve when it came to HDMI cords and cell phones. I absolutely love my Samsung S8+ and being able to watch videos that I have recorded, pictures I've taken on my television has opened me to a whole new world...... use easyacc usb c to hdmi cable watched movies from my Netflix app from my phone on the television screen. I'm stoked if you can't tell!!!

The feature is directly disabled in the kernel. While we have the kernel the source doesn't work.
So does this mean there is a way to enable this feature on the g7. I just updated from an iPhone and have no wifi where I play videos etc for my students. I had the adapter for the smart phone and bought one to fit the USB c but when I plug it in to the HDMI it only charges does not show the screen

Hello!
I am interested in enabling hdmi also.
Any news?
I'm offering a reward! ?
Hi guys, it must be rooted the phone for make the change in the kernel to activate the feature? Or there is an alternative way to enable it?
There is no way to enable it at the moment.
Snapdragon 845 have HDMI as option- vendor have to open HDMI with paid key (same as Windows Home to Windows Pro). Qualcom understand the power of money.
So it is a SW issue-but You can't just change n to y in kernel. It's a clear case for LG. Maybe they can offer a paid solution - but I doubt it.
