The adapter above looks great and says it has a "decoder chip." Someone asked on their site if it worked with a Pixel 2 -- one person said yes and another said no. So I figured for $5 or whatever I'd try it.
Does not work. Triggers the "analog accessory" popup.
Just in case anyone else is looking. I like that form factor.
I was the person said not working on bangood....

Could I get this adapter and us it with the custom JellyBean ROMs? (specifically Viscious Liquid 4.1.1-V1).

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.

Oh yeah, I can already picture their faces when they close the books for the year and they are 5 bucks short of their goal
Anyway, please come back and let us know how it's working out, I want to get one too.

Not sure if you were laughing 'at' or 'with' me, but whatever - I 'll still update this post when I get it.
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?

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.

Has anyone bought one for their shield yet? I just ordered mine along with a light bulb, too good of an offer to pass up IMO!
Got mine a couple days ago. Hooked right up with a few Zigbee sensors I had in the house and working great Waiting on a Google Home Mini to see how the interoperability (sp?) goes with it set up in different rooms.
What is the deal with that?
I mean offer.

I got my link for $10 using a code SHIELDLINK or something similar .. I had bought a Shield Pro and the email had a link. Great deal to make money on.... I prefer my SmartThings hub to the Shield Link approach.
Ordered one for 10 plus shipping.
Will start testing some things with it when it arrives.
I got one. Had shipping problem but that was USPS fault.
Install went easy. No smart items yet, so who knows. Might get a thermostat and a light bulb.

So... How well does it work?
I have one, but haven't connected it yet as I am currently using the HueLink hub for lights...
Mine works great. I don't have a full-size hub and never have, but there are no delays, downtime or glitchiness to speak of. I have 25 devices connected to and this is probably obvious, but if anyone is wondering it does continue to work when the shield is sleeping as well.

Sometimes mine works sometimes it doesn't...
Guys have you tried this outside USA?
My shield TV doesn't give me a code to activate the app.
https://store.google.com/product/moshi_usb_c_hdmi_adapter
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

Thanks. That's what I was thinking too.
After trying dozens of USB cables, ports, computers and hubs, I was finally able to unlock my bootloader and root my used Pixel XL 2!
I feel like being a **** and not giving any details about the hub, though.
Maybe I'll disappear from the forums after saying what every other jerk told me, "Try another port/cable/hub. That's what worked for me!" I might even go back to my old posts about the problem and edit them to say "Solved!" but leave no details of what the solution might be.
I will say this; I found it in a thrift store for $1.95. It's also a card reader, but it's not the only card reader/hub that I've tried.
Good luck, suckers!
Seriously, it took you a lot longer than most, but that advice you were repeatedly given worked, didn't it? But, you don't have to tell anyone what hub you got because not everyone needed a hub to unlock* and no one really cares anyway.
So, want a cookie?
*I needed to use a different cable to unlock.
Just cracking wise because of all the posts I had to read where people never bothered to say exactly which hub or cable worked for them, or even bother to reply when asked.
I'm guessing this one is known to work since many of the sellers on ebay are asking $19 plus for a crappy old USB 2 hub.
And yes, I do want a cookie. I'll trade USB cables and hubs for one.
Not telling people what the solution to the problem is extraordinarily common on these forums, so I hear you there. While I wasn't sure if you were being a smartass in your post, I know I'm an asshole and tell people that, so to me it was only natural to be a smartass in replying to you.
Your response was perfect and I got a chuckle out of it.
On a side note, your comments about the ebay prices of older tech resonate here. Up until recently I was using a Belkin USB to PS/2 dual adapter for my 25-year old keyboard and touchpoint pad until it failed (broken wire in one of the PS/2 connectors). Roommate bought me a two-pack of cheap Chinese knock-offs that were badly soldered, with only one of them working even after fixing the bad solder jobs. I want my Belkin back so I have one ordered on Amazon, for twice as much as I paid for the original when new.
