hi guys, which HDMI cables are compatible with the HOX?
I heard the EVO 3D one is
Also do the HDMI leads also charge the HOX? Cheers

Many thanks, any cheaper alternatives around at all?
I've just gone for this:

Will probably get it tomorrow. Tried a similar one yesterday at my mate's house and it worked fine on his 19' monitor.
That's awesome, cheers fella

This looks very affordable. Question though, can it be used to watch let's say catch up tv, or netflx as well?, cause at the moment am working away from home, and we have television that supports hdmi, but no digital service, so was hoping to show this off, to my colleagues.
So would this be like using the Media Link but not wirelessly?

I think so, i ordered one yesterday so ill make a little video when it arrives, show how it works
So got it today, already used it in the 40' HDTV we have in the office and works fine. But it does need a USB connection also for power, which is fine.
I played a 720p movie on the phone and it looked fine, the picture lost a bit quality, but it works.
Can't complain for £6! Does the job

I haven't used the media link, so I don't know the picture quality. But the adaptor I bought works fine
I'm using the bizlink mhl cable on a Samsung le40a559 and it works fine IF you set it up right.
1. Connect HDMI to tv.
2. Connect HDMI to mhl.
3. Connect power to mhl.
4. Wait for tv to search for signal.
5. Connect mhl to phone.
If you connect in any other order it seems to cause headaches at least mine did. Outputting in 1280 x 720p @ 60hz. Noice.
All I need now is root so I can pair my ps3 sixaxis and Shadowgun is getting pwnd.

I picked up an mhl cable for the samsung galaxy series of phones from ebay last week, charges the one x and plays everything from the screen straight to the TV via HDML, works great. Tried posting a link but less than 8 posts but worth looking on ebay for though.
i'm curious if anyone has found an mhl adapter that will working without needing power.

i don't think its possible. the port on any hdmi output (ie bluray etc) would need to have some sort of power source, the mhl doesnt output enough (if any) power to run the hdmi, hence the requirement for a separate power source.
i use my portable charger to run it, works a treat.
Iphones are able to output hdmi with just an adapter, so i dont see why an one x wouldnt be able to.

In order to do this you need an mhl capable TV. Any TV with HDMI will display video but only TVs certified as mhl capable will charge the device via HDMI.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
and if you have a tv with a usb port for flashdrives or external drives next to the hdmi port, would that give power? maybe the output is too low, but it might at least keep the battery from draining right? cause then i could use a short usb cable and avoid having a cable coming from another source. I hate cables but don't trust the media link thing to work well, i've read that it uses some kind of compression for video, and that is a big no no.
I bought a cheap MHL from ebay and works perfect
Cannot work without power supply...

Did yours work? I bought the same one and it doesn't work, TV recognises the MHL device but the phone doesn't.

Has anyont tried out HDMI/ USB adapter on this yet? Is it full mirroring?
Using an MHL adapter does give you mirror display output. There is not enough power from the phone to power the MHL adapter, so you must use a power adapter.
I used an HTC MHL adapter. Check with Monoprice, they just started carrying generic MHL's.
Did u guys gets an adapter with your phone? Wirefly said I wasn't supposed to get one.
Uhhhhh... Last time I looked, Samsung wasn't buying HTC branded accessories and including them with their products! LOL!!
No MHL included.

Nope. They are cheaping out on us. Just the phone and charger.
The European version at least got some decent looking headphones, and I have seen one set actually have a basic leather case. The case might have been a reviewers special or something.
Best place I would recommend getting an MHL would be Monoprice. You can get them cheaper at Amazon or Ebay, but you get what you pay for from those places.

That would be an MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link)
Usb to HDMI with another USB port for power. I have an HTC version. Works great, must use power to usb port next to HDMI output. Some devices have enough power to drive the adapter. Unfortuntely, the E4GT does not.
What, not even headphones.

in the review he mentions that the mhl adapter did not come with the phone.
got my mhl adapter and mirroring is working good.
However wondering if there is any way to make the video quality playback better?
should one adjsut the screen density or any other settings?I have you tube and netflix playing well but not in that high of quality IMO
Now for all you Nitro HD users who didn't know that it is possible to stream video through the Micro USB port, well yes you can That port is actually a MHL port (Mobile High-def Link), which combines both Micro USB and HDMI features together, and all you need is a MHL adapter to connect your phone to your HDTV and stream movies while having your phone charged.
Now my question goes to those who know about these things. Any idea which MHL adapter is compatible with this phone, or can we use any adapter from any maker? And also, has anybody tried using the MHL capability on this phone?
Well, one would think it wouldn't be proprietary based on the fact that all MHL enabled phones use this as a standard now. I have used a MHL cable from an HTC Raider on a Galaxy S II and it worked just fine.
Does anyone else hear a slight grinding/grainy noise when you plug in the Micro USB? It always makes me feel like I'm breaking it.
any mhl adapter should work.
i use the mhl adapter from samsung infuse and it works! but remember to plug in power for it to works.

I think if the tv supports mhl mode then you don't need to plug in power.
If tv just has hdmi port then you need to plug in power.
The mhl adapter has microusb port for power input.

Mine should be arriving on Thursday - just grabbed one of the many off amazon...
So my bro got me an Accell MHL adapter for Christmas and I'm finding it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't even provide a charge. I'm thinking its physical dimensions are such that the connector into the phone doesn't go in far enough (kinda LG's fault for making the port recessed, kinda their fault for making the connector so damn fat). So, if you guys find one that works for cheap, do you think you could hit us with a link?
TL/DR, Accell's doesn't work, please post ones that do

it needs power for mhl to works. did you try to reboot the phone after you plug in mhl and power input for mhl? i tried on samsung infuse mhl adapter and it works!
Yeah, I provided power and performed every possible sequence of hooking it all up that I could think of and also rebooted several times. I really think it's the form factor of the Accell connector combined with our slightly recessed port that causes it to not go in far enough. I just need someone to give me a suggestion of a brand to buy that they know firsthand works well with our P930.

Thanks for the video, it is really cool.
When I had my G2x with micro HDMI out, I bought all kines of cables to plug it into the TV from the comfort of my bed, and I really only used once or twice.
Maybe in the future I'll buy it but I think it will end up in my cable's cabinet.

How does this play out with USB host mode in Android?
Do I need another adapter for host mode? Or can I use this one while I also have HDMI out?
http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325341220&sr=1-1
This one seems to be "certified" for the Galaxy Nexus and also has a charging port to use while doing HDMI output. Does the Samsung adapter come with this?
I'm most certainly interesred but I want more details before shelling out money, even if it's small money
Edit: Looked at the video and I see the USB port there. Still though, how does this play wtih USB host? Do I even need an adapter for that?
Using the HDMI adapter and playing games with a controller can only be done with a bluetooth controller? Is there any way I can use HDMI and a USB PS3/360 controller?
(using the PS3 wireless is not a option for me i cannot get the app and phone to work together)

to ppl with questions, i got the official samsung gs2 mhl adapter. its 11$.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/230721222527?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
works wonders. i am 4.0.2 stock.
it uses full hdmi. 1$ on ebay.
it has a charging port, but it shows plugged in as usb charger even when plugged into the wall. it only draws enough power to power keep the charge constant, that is your battery does not go down, nor does it go up. and no, you cannot connect usb host when watching in mhl mode. would have been cool, but doesnt work.
One more thing, apparently THE PHONE HAS TO BE PLUGGED IN FOR THE MHL ADAPTER TO WORK. So, unless you plug in the charger, the mhl adater wont give output.
i hope i answered all questions.
OMG I need me on of these. It's not a Amazon prime item so that mean I have to pay for shipping lol.
nice!

Wow. So emulator+wifi+bluetooth+mhl= dead phone. 500ma is not enough to keep the GN floating.
Seems like a huge oversight on Google's part or perhaps it's just a MHL limitation. I know data does not work, which is why people have to use BT. But 500ma, what a joke.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Awesome video and post, thanks!!
Does the MHL to HDMI work with Android Movies? I know on my stock Transformer TF101 HDMI out is blocked in Movies. ...worked fine for Netflix and others though.
As far as battery is concerned. Would it be possible to program the screen to turn off when viewing in HDMI and still view it on the TV? seems like this would cut battery consumption dramatically. If not you could set the screen brightness to as low as possible.
Thanks man! Gonna buy this ASAP

Battery drain seems to be corroborated here too:

What a downer.
Great minds think alike though:

So it looks like the only option is to use some sort of dual charging situation where one charges the MHL adapter and the other charges the phone via pogo.
Perhaps the native HDMI doc allows AC charging? I guess we will have to wait and see.
Just curious if anyone has gotten the keyboard and mouse working on a lapdock with the Note 2. The HDMI works perfectly, but the keyboard and mouse don't work. I don't know if it is possible, but it would be great if someone knows how to make this happen.
Here's a picture of my set up. Everything is connected so it *should* work. I'm thinking that it is a driver issue.
(The lapdock keyboard & mouse work great with Ubuntu 12.04, & Windows 7, & Raspberry Pi (Raspian), so I know that my connections are fine.)
Thanks!
Hmm, guess I'll be able to answer my own question after a bit of research. It seems that the Note 2 (like the S3) can't provide MHL & OTG at the same time.
Not sure if there is a way around this. I wonder if Samsung's SmartDock works, but I don't want to spend $100 to find out.
I'm increasingly interested in trying just this, smart dock + lapdock. Hard to imagine that it wouldn't work, but I wouldn't mind confirmation if anyone has tried it. The impressive low prices on lapdocks in the secondary market kinda offsets (and also kinda shames) the ridiculously overpriced smart dock.
I wonder if the lapdock's battery can provide as much power as the smart dock needs or if I'd have to have an external battery too.

the lap dock should provide 1 amp which is what the atrix needed and the chargers it came with. the s3 has a smart dock and it too only has 1 amp chargers...
plus I don't see the smart dock pulling more than 200mA it has to provide the s3 with at least 750 mA for the charge to survive mhl.
regardless amp drain in android devices is adaptive. even if the dock needs a full 800mA the phone will try to survive with the rest draining battery of course but working none the less just like trying to charge our 2A monster with a Bluetooth 150mA charger. it will try but at best slow down the discharge

I've never gotten a green screen so I have no idea. And, you already did the basic troubleshooting. Are you using the Smartdock or something different? If you aren't using the Smartdock, maybe pick one up to see if it works. If it doesn't fix the problem, you can always return the Smartdock.

Based on what you are saying, it sounds like the issue is between your lapdock & MHL cable. Like I said in my previous post, I'd pick up a Samsung SmartDock and see if it works. Just make sure that yo buy from somewhere that you can easily return it in case it doesn't work.

i had a similar problem, its was a shotty solder job on the "Budget adapter" (HDMI PINS). i took it apart and cleaned it, works perfectly now.
Plug your phone in, WAIT 5 SECONDS, Then lift up.....If you still have a problem, push F11 on the Lapdock... that manual cycles the resolution modes...at least thats what the manual says....
As far as the USB key board goes, im currently working a solution.... you have to power the MHL THROUGH THE DOCKS usb port using a donated USB cable with the end cut, solder it in directly on the board of the adapter itself, then make a micro usb extension that has the power wires cut and D- D+ reversed... I have a motorola ATRIX and im looking at the board, it looks like they have been reversed....ill post up some pics if i find this to be true.

Also, sorry to bring up and old post, but I have a reason to believe that the ZOOM bluetooth keyboard uses the same 30 pin connector thats inside the lapdock (connects everything together) all the connectors are the same, except on the ZOOM the other end is a BLUETOOTH module...this would solve the whole issue... im about to get one on ebay. Ill report back in a few days.
I WILL NOT LET THIS THING BEAT ME

We just can't use the MHL adapter that is specific for Galaxy S3 / S4.
The standard model (for Galaxy Nexys, Galaxy S2, HTC Evo 4G Tablet, HTC Sensation 4G etc) is the one that works perfectly.
I order this one from ebay, will post the results once received.

I received my MHL adapter and it works great. I need to connect with a charger to have it working properly.

yup i have 2 different MHL adapters i bought some time ago. Both works great. Cheers :good:
I ordered an MHL adapter from Amazon this weekend, they delayed my order and when it was ready to ship they had a snag with my usual form of payment. But by the time I was ready to fix it, the Chromecast had come out.
I wanted the MHL adapter to stream HBO Go content to my TV, since there is no PS3 app and my Samsung TV doesn't have an app for it. With the Chromecast, it seems like this can be fixed by being able to push the content from HBO Go and other sources directly from my phone or my Chrome browser. Looks interesting, and for $35, it's worth a shot. I cancelled my MHL adapter order and placed a (late) order for a Chromecast.
We'll see.

I continued to play around with the MHL adapter. I noticed that the remote control of my TV does not control the ZL when connected. After some searches, I figured that the MHL adapter needs to be RPC/CEC compatible as well. I have a Samsung LED TV with have Anynet+CEC. I used to connect Xperia Arc over HDMI and was able to control from remote control. So when buying MHL adapter make sure it is RPC/CEC compliant!

Mirroring is only available in selected Sony Tvs..but cable can be used with any having an hdmi connection.
Quality wise not much of difference in video but audio is better via hdmi

Hi gduong, did you manage to find a MHL adapter that is RPC/CEC compatible that is also confirmed working? I also just saw the other recent posting from a fellow forum member seems to point to a potential one...

Hello Venexiano,
Did you manage to get this cable to try out on the Xperia ZL ?
http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt...sation/dp/B005F9W6DU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I too, am looking at this cable. But, I don't want to buy it until I see someone reporting back on the forum if this is fully working with our Xperia ZL.
One particular user comment says this, which is a bit worrying:
Will NOT output 1080p. Only outputs in 720p.
Works ok on Gingerbread... But
ICE CREAM SANDWICH BREAKS THIS MHL ADAPTER.
If you plan on upgrading to ICS... DO NOT BUY.
Any advice/info is appreciated. Thanks.
Hey,
I did not buy any cable yet since I got no answer to my question. Please let me know if you find a solution that works. I might post this in some other forum and I let you know.
thanks
Alberto

I'm in india and in this link it says that it's for Samsung smartphones... Will it work with xperia zl? Do you have this particular one in ebay or did you just give a similar mhl product to the one that you bought?
Thanks.
