Google officially sells this adapter and I double checked with google support and specifically asked if this works with the pixel 2 PHONE and not just the pixel book. Their response was "yes this was specifically designed to work with the pixel 2 phone". I didn't want to pay $50 so I found what I thought was the exact same thing on amazon for about half the price. It was still the Moshi USB-C to HDMI Adapter. When i got it in I could not get it to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I couldn't get it to show anything via HDMI. So I was thinking... ok maybe the Google store version is just slightly different since the support said it should work. The other option is support was just wrong and didnt know what they were talking about. My question is does anyone have this and can anyone confirm the Pixel 2 does HDMI out? I dont want to waste money buying the $50 adapter if it doesnt work and then have to send it back.
I believe support had no idea what they were talking about. The Pixel phones do no support video out of any kind through the UBS-C port

Is there a TV out function on the Dinc2? Phonearena states that it has TV out function (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-Droid-Incredible-2_id5173), yet I don't see the TV out cable online. Does the Dinc2 do full mirroring to a TV via the micro usb, like the Dinc1 did?
I just emailed HTC. I will see what they say.
Use the same cable? I have that cable running through my car dash so I can listen to (and watch) Pandora on my Alpine touch screen.
So the incredible2 can be output to a tv then?

I was asking too. I can verify 100% tomorrow

Ok. Thank you.
Htc emailed me back with this: "The HTC Incredible 2 supports a feature called Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL). You can find out more about this technology here: http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link. At this time, HTC does not manufacture the appropriate cable to support this; however, the option is available."

No way. Seriously? My Inc 2 supports mhl?
I just almost did a backflip.
This makes my phone worth 3 times as much personally.
Off to buy a cable/adapter haha
Its like a hidden feature or something...its not listed on the box nor in the manual.
Ill give this a try in just a few

I don't think there are any mhl cables out in stores yet. I don't think it works with inc1 tv out cable.

There are MHL microUSB to HDMI cables in existence for other devices. I've started searching for one. Supposedly there's one available for Samsung Galaxy S devices that I might try to procure.
How pricey are these cables? I'd try one out we're not sure on if it's not horribly expensive.
Here's one just for proof:

Also found this, but out of stock:

Good deal. Thanks for the links. Let me know if anyone tries these out. Might have to get this phone if it does. TV out is a great plus.

Same here, if anyone gets the cable, would they be kind enough to tell us if it works or not? I'm just really looking forward to using emulators on my TV
OG Inc cable does not even fit in the INC2 port. No worky

We aren't talking about the og inc cables, we are talking about the new mhl cables that are used in such devices as the galaxy s2 and evo 3d. The inc2 has the mhl tech just no cable as of now.

Hey guys - Just wanted to let you know that I ordered one of these:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/
It should arrive in about 2 weeks so I will be sure to let you all know if/how it works out as soon as I get it.

Thanks! It would be awesome if the Dinc2 could do full TV mirroring. Hope it works.

I need an MHL adapter ASAP. Does anyone have any experience with this MHL adapter?
Thanks!
EDIT:
What about this one! http://www.amazon.com/Skiva-Adapter...F8&qid=1341247731&sr=8-5&keywords=mhl+adapter
I have that one. It's worked with both a LG G2X and a Samsung Galaxy Note. I think most devices need to be hooked up in sequence for it to work properly (charger first then HDMI, or vice versa).
Edit: Oops, I meant Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket, not LG G2X (that one had its own HDMI out). Too many devices last year...
The reviews from people owning the Galaxy Nexus state that it has awful performance.

I just noticed the extra reviews. I need one for vacation, and this was one of the top ones on Amazon. If this doesn't work, I can always return it. That's not a problem. I just really need one.
Do you have any recommendations for MHL adapters on Amazon?
What about the other one in my OP?
I have the Skiva one. Works well. I PM'd you about it.
If you need one "ASAP" why not just run down to the TMobile store and pick one up.
I just bought one off of monoprice, 9 dollars. I'm sure by reviews it will work fine and monoprice has never failed me.

I don't have a TMobile store near me at all, and plus, I'd like to not pay out me butt cheeks. I need one by tomorrow and I figured I could use Amazon and get it for cheap with one day shipping with my Prime account.

That's too expensive when I toss in shipping. I would definitely have checked them out if I would have thought about this sooner. Sadly, I just thought about it last night, but I was busy with work.
I ordered this MHL cable that specifically says it's made just for S3 12 days ago but hasn't turned up, so I emailed the seller asking why it hasn't turned up yet and got this reply:
we have just realised these cables are not compatible with the s3,
would you like to wait till the correct cable comes in or shall we refund
your money\?
kind regards
sunny savers.
And they didn't even try to explain why I didnt receive it even though I got email delivery confirmation 12 days ago.

Thanks for warning users.
Personally, I don't think it is that vendors fault. Samsung said that the SGS3 had MHL. There have been more then 100 devices with MHL so far and they have all been compatible with each other.
There was no way for the vendor of that MHL cable (or anyone else) to know that the SGS3's MHL port is not really an MHL port.

Yeah but it looks like the seller knew that before I even put the order in yet still took payment and confirmed delivery, because after 11 days I asked them to confirm it had been sent and they just said they found out it isn't compatible and it wasn't until I emailed them that they informed me of this, and you know maybe it just got lost in the post but I really think it's more than that.
has anybody with proper cables tried hooking up the gnote2/smartdock to a motorola lapdock? that would be friggin' awesome if the lapdock completely works with a hdmi cable and the keyboard/trackpad if functional with a usb from the smartdock. i really have no interest in the smartdock as i have mhl already so the smartdock would be redundant for me in the few situations i use mhl but if it works with the lapdock then a whole bunch of possibilities arise and my laptop would probably never ever leave the house.
so anybody know, tried, working on it, interested etc.? i was planning on selling my atrix/lapdock soon but seeing i need to order a couple things from samsung this week i am thinking of trying it. the thing is though, the smartdock has been unavailable on their website and $100 is too expensive for me to just experiment for hahas. if it becomes available and i can snatch it for $50 with a half off coupon then i will order the other cables necessary to try.
I would be interested in this as well. There is another new thread asking about it (though yours in newer).

Thanks. Didn't see that. Problem is finding a smart dock now. Amazon has no stock. There are 2 on eBay at let me empty your bank account prices. Samsung has no indication if and when these will be back in stock. So now the question remains... anybody want to sell their smart dock for a reasonable price so I can test this?
Sent from my GT-N7100
Supposedly the dock will be back in stock mid February. It is likely amazon will have it a few days before Samsung's website has it though. Don't ask me why.

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.
