I saw in a thread the other day say (through a PDF of the device) that hdmi was available, now the question is does anybody know where to get it, or when it will be available? I hope this makes sense, because that was a pathetic attempt at a sentence. I think I might actually keep this thing two years.
Maybe look through the accessories section on the VZW site?
Had to register just to comment on this. If this is true, then this really isn't a USB port on the phone, and it really isn't USB to HDMI. It's called "Mobile High-definition Link" and is a standard that was defined to bring mobile devices into the HD world. Wiki article is out there but I can't link to it cause I'm new .
Samsung is fully embracing this standard and is releasing the Galaxy S2 phone with this port and will include a cable too. Search around on it though...cause to fully support the standard the TV has to have a MHL enabled HDMI port (not only does it send video to the TV via HDMI it charges the phone at the same time from the TV).
If your TV doesn't have a MHL enabled HDMI port then Samsung is releasing a cable that has a power port on it so you can use a standard HDMI port and power at the same time.
Tried that. Wasn't there. That's why I decided to ask the question. I'll see if I can dig up the pdf that was posted from before.
here is the pdf.

I see it. HDMI Adapter. Nice to see the pixel pitch too!
Is it out?

Not that I can find. That was the purpose behind the question. If anybody can confirm the galaxy micro usb to hdmi compatibility or find the one direct from HTC that would be awesome, but sadly no one has yet that I know of.
I've been trying to figure out how to mirror my Nexus 7's display to my standard TV. I believe I need a composite cable to do this. Is there any way I can directly output from the Nexus 7 to composite? Or do I have to go Nexus 7 > HDMI > HDMI to Composite Converter > TV? I'm just searching around for the cheapest possible solution, thanks!

That's a mess lol, so many adaptors, anyway for getting hdmi signal from the nexus 7 you would use a Slimport Adaptor like this, or you can use the official Slimport brand adaptor for 15 bucks more, the

Well, I'm searching for a method that does not involve HDMI. That will be most cost efficient and have less cables. I don't have an HDTV so I need a composite cable. Thanks!

Yeah i know what are you trying to do, but actually the only way to get wired audio/video signal is to use the slimport adaptor. (With wireless you would use Miracast but this isn't your case) So in your case you must use the slimport, the hdmi to composite adaptor and i think you should be good.

Okay, thanks! If I purchase the Official SlimPort, will I be able to mirror both the Nexus 7 and other Samsung devices? Or just Nexus devices? Thanks.

It would work fine with every device that support Slimport, newer devices do like LG G2, G Pad 8.3, Nexus 5 and so on. But you should check on the specifications of your devices. Before Slimport productors used to support MHL, which is almost the same but it keeps busy the USB port and on display that doesn't support MHL you should even buy an adapter which even needs external power supply.. if you can see on the Analogix Slimport adaptor you got a microUSB and the HDMI, the first is just for using it as the device one and HDMI for streaming. I was reading that Slimport has some limitations about the length of the HDMI cable, something like that it needs to be not longer than 50 centimeters otherwise you'd encounter problems..
Anyway i think that the Slimport adapter that costs just 15 bucks will be great.

Alright, looks like the SlimPort isn't going to work with the Samsung devices. Is there a cheap alternative so I can switch between Nexus 7 and the other devices? Specifically the S3 and S2 (Epic 4G Touch)
Thanks!

I think the only way is to use Wi-Fi Direct/DLNA. If you're gonna cast your screen just for viewing youtube, netflix and stuff like that, you could use the Chromecast, which does that particular job. It can't cast the entire screen but movies, audio (and other DLNA stuff) and compatible apps (you need to see on its webpage) can right now. To cast the entire screen you would need the Miracast technology but i don't know if there are any good dongles on the market that permit to do that as chromecast does. I hope you know what I mean, i'm not a native english speaker
You should take a look at the Chromecast if that can do what you need, or you can see Miracast dongles like this but i can't suggest anything
OK, I'm trying to do the same. I bought a slimport adapter and a HDMI to composite adapter. My N7 works just fine from slimport to HDMI to the TV, but doesn't work when I add the HDMI to composite adapter. However, if I hook my cable box through HDMI to the composite adapter, all works well. So its something from that slimport out of the tablet to the other adapter. What I'm trying to do is get the display mirrored in my van for the kids and the van only has composite inputs. I'm at a loss.
Hi guys,
I was looking MHL adapter talking there but didint find (or I'm blind)
I would like to watch Netflix on bigger screen on my trips, example on hotel TV or friends place
I looked from Internet and eBay and there is so many different adapter (and so big price difference) that I would be very happy if someone can tell me if have found working MHL adapter for Oneplus 2?
Or is this impossible and only way is maybe use Chromecast?
Thank you
No MHL support i think, so chromecast or send screen are the options.
Look at this
Hi,
Just to use this treat.
I'm looking for MHL adapter too
I also found this video. Can someone confirm please is it possible to connect my OnePlus 2 via HDMI cable to my TV.
Thanks in advance and good day to all.

One of the most used products I own other than Chromecast, Sometimes I get sick of looking at my Google ChromeBooks tiny display so this Type-C to HDMI Adapter is the perfect solution plus im able to stream in 4K Resolution and the Audio is full HD also. You can also transfer data at a speed of up to 10Gbps although I was not able to test this (yet) I have seen others who also own this adapter reach those speeds. This unit is also Fully bus-powered and offers hot swapping and Im a big fan of "Plug n Play". Once you own this you will see just how much you use it and priced at $12.99 and has a 24-Month Worry-Free Warranty you will be happy you did. If your looking to pick one up you can purchase one HERE.

it may or may not be sold out, so go check.
side note: the official dock needs a Micro HDMI cable and does not come with one. that surprised me quite a bit for an official asus product! thankfully those are cheap enough online.
i'm going to add some general info on my experimentation with the nexus7 and slimport, just to help anyone searching for useful info.
first and foremost: the official dock looks like it's just slimport. not much in additional features. no extra USB ports, no hub.
slimport hardlocks on the latest unofficial 16 build. , but it works just fine on the latest official lineage-14.1-20190208-nightly, and stock 6.0.1. latency is negligible. (0-5ms range)
it appears there is no way to use additional usb peripherals on a microB slimport device (3.0 type C devices can obviously overcome this limitation with ease) so if you're planning a project for your nexus7, make sure all other peripherals are bluetooth.
Qi and NFC still functions in slimport mode. (idea: maybe add an nfc tag to the dock to trigger a custom configuration change when entering docked mode, and add a second one elsewhere for reverting back upon removal)
i am in a position where i can easily test slimport features with the 2013 wifi, so if i missed something, feel free to ask.
