Dear Thunderbolt Owners,
Please tell me that the USB video/audio cable works on the TB... this would strongly influence my decision on buying it.
Question if it does work:
Does this show everything not just audio/video like the crappy moto X I have?
I am sure many of us want to know this
The official video out cable I have for my old Incredible does NOT fit/work on my Thunderbolt.
I got to thinking about this after the thread in the gen discussion board, and really the AV cable shouldn't work anyway. It's an analog signal instead of a digital one. So I don't know why I thought it would work to begin with. I would like to see this USB to HDMI materialize for us. My luck it will never exist. But it is listed as a accessory, so hopefully they aren't referring to the DNLA adapter that HTC just released.
Maybe something like this...

I don't know, sorry I need posts for downloading something special
If this was sold direct though amazon I would buy and test. I'm not willing to just throw away 50 in case it doesn't though.
USB to RCA would have been dreamy

They should fit, it's the same Micro-usb connector, now work it's another story.
Nope doesn't fit. Tried.

As I stated before... it does NOT fit and it is not a standard micro USB.
The Dinc actually has contacts on the top back that make it a hybrid proprietary mix of micro USB and video out signals. I should know, when HTC took forever to release it I was attempting to build my own as were others on XDA using pinout diagrams.

I can only hope for your sakes they release one. I can tell you when I had my iPhone hooking it up in my car and viewing everything on the screen I have in there was amazing. Esp for navigation, music videos, or reading email. OH, and lets not forget geeky bragging rights.
I had my DINC setup that way too. I was actually just looking at the specs on the DNLA adapter HTC put out. I figured at worst I could hide that unit and use the HDMI and run it to all the screens in my Tahoe.

No they are different, the Inc has connectors in the to.of the USB for video. If u look at the Inc USB port it is oddly shaped

I really do hope we can hook up a micro to HDMI to the TB. Now that hulu is working on my TB I think I might cancel my TV and internet and just use my phone.

Very interesting, I would like to know the outcome. Thanks for the post Joshsun.
Also if anyone else tries it and it works can you describe what comes up: E.g.: Homescreen, media hub, dlna media transfer screen, etc.....
I will buy that cable when I get paid Wednesday and see how it works, though it is made by Motorola.

Hey guys that SKU for the cable is a Droid X HDMI cable. SKN6377A
Dont think it'll help us.
Yea after further review, don't waste your money. It is micro hdmi type D to hdmi. It will not work. We have standard micro usb ports.
I very much doubt this will work for our phones, but this is the cable you are looking for.

Has anyone yet found a cheap MHL to HDMI adapter that's confirmed to work with the Galaxy S3?
The official Samsung adapter is still $40(!) and who knows if THAT will be pin incompatible in the future too (MHL is supposed to be standard).
How about the $13-14 ones from Amazon that is supposedly Samsung branded? I have the one that came with the Infuse but I haven't tested it out yet.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MHL-H...F8&qid=1340683252&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+mhl
That will not work, S III requires a 'special' adapter, the older ones, such as for the S II, will not work.
Yea i bought the cheap Menotek mhl adapter ($13 shipped) from Amazon about a week or so before i got the s3....
I found out later that the s3 has a different pin out so yea, no dice on the Menotek. :thumbdown:

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be cheaper to buy the old 5pin mhl adapter and get the new adapter to make it work. I know it sounds funny to get an adapter for your adapter but I have seen the old mhl for as low as $10 (generic) and the new connector for not much more than that. Were as the new Samsung cord cost $40. I haven't seen any (generic) ones yet.
With this being said I wonder if there would be any limitations to doing this. Can anyone confirm?
I also looked at the links (Tokcin) and I think those are for older 5pin phones. In fact one of the reviews said it didn't work for the s3 not to buy it.

I just ordered one from monoprice and will get the 5 to 11 pin adapter when available.
I read recently that the 11 pin interface allows for MHL and USB Host at the same time, which I don't care about, so see no need for the $40 11 pin MHL adapter. Still not sure how that is even supposed to work without another adapter anyway to split the MHL and USB Host functionality.

It will not work as is. You either need to buy the adapter to make it work(costs $10) or buy the new cord for the s3($40). The only down fall to buying the adapter instead of the new cord is no one knows if there is going to be a limitation to it. The new cord uses the 7 pin layout instead of the 5 pin layout. The new 7 pin layout is said to be able to do simultaneous mhl and otg. I am not sure if the adapter will let you do that. As far as I know there are no cords out to allow the simultaneous mhl and otg right now any way. I would just buy the adapter.

I'm really hoping someone comes out with an MHL+OTG cable, would make things very fun and exciting. I may have to pull the trigger as it is on the new MHL cable just to play with in the meantime, wish it wasn't so expensive.

I tried two different generic ones I had, and neither worked. Expansys has them for $30 free shipping on their site though. I also posted a thread letting ppl know I did get it working on a 720p display I used it on, with no problems. Im actually glad I spent the money, because its a much more secure fit then the generic ones vIve always used, it locks in place kind of. I just hope Samsung uses the same one for their new devices from here out!

Can you give us a link to the one you got and knows working? My 1080p tv just crapped out and I have to use my 720p/1080I tv now. I have been waiting on a cheaper solution to Samsung's $40 cable because I plan on buying the WiFi dongle went it comes out. By the way from what I understand Samsung's cable won't work with anything other than 1080p. So if your tv doesn't support 1080p it won't work. Thanks in advance.

External hard drive with movies mounted over OTG while outputting it to a large HDTV @ 1080p gloriousness would be a start. with a cable like that you basically have a docking station in a cable, very interesting stuff.

Most likely not. I have personally tested all combinations of MHL adapter, OTG cable, USB hubs (powered and non), splitters and adapters.
As of right now all signs point to the Micro USB port being a one job at a time thing.
I would love to be suprised, but I'm not buying this to test it. -Sorry

Awesome! Please let us know if usb host and mhl be used simultaneously. a video review would be great!
I bought one. I ended up with a defective unit (detailed below), but the defect only seems to be mechanical with the button and not with the electronics. The seller is sending me another so I will let you know how that goes.
Anyway, my initial impression is "meh". Here is the "executive summary":
1. USB host cannot be used at the same time as MHL.
2. In fact, USB host cannot be used at all when the power is plugged in.
My experience with the unit:
1. There is a button on the front that lights up based on what "mode" the unit is in. Blue for USB host and green for MHL. There is a red mode, too, but I only saw it once and haven't been able to get back to it yet.
2. Like I said, the plastic part of the button broke the first time I pushed it. Since the seller said he would send me another, I tore the unit apart and discovered that there wasn't enough glue keeping the button in place.
3. I can't really tell exactly what the button is supposed to do. When I first plug it in to my phone without the power plugged in, I have to press the button to get my phone to recognize it. Once the unit is recognized then it goes into USB host mode and the button starts glowing blue. Nothing seems to happen if I press the button again.
4. As soon as I plug in the power (or I plugged in the unit with the power already plugged in) then the unit automatically goes to MHL mode and the button glows green. If I had an sd card plugged in and mounted when I plugged in the power, then the card is forcibly unmounted when the unit goes into MHL mode.
5. I assume #4 goes for any other USB-connected peripherials as I didn't try a micro sd or a memory stick.
I will be posting this to Amazon once I get time....

yes there is
this is the micro usb port
this micro usb port is for bringing power to the guest devices
I have a similar one without MHL and this is what it does
one regret on the one I have is that it doesn't act has a HUB, so you can't plug a sd and a micro sd at the same time and transfer data between them
is it the same with this device ?
I was thinking buying this unit. (Right now it's 37 USD)
But, does this product works with other phones? Like Nexus 4, Galaxy SII and SIII or Galaxy Note I or II?
I want to keep it when I sell my Galaxy Nexus...!
Or is it better to buy two cables, one MHL and other USB OTG? (Both will make around 16 USD)
Just got it for 15USD.
I've tested on GN.
Main function:
1. Standard USB port for USB drive/mouse/keyboard
2. TF(micro SD) socket
3. Standard SD socket
4. micro USB power in.

It is possible to use a keyboard with Gnex using an USB OTG adapter?
And if it is possible to connect the Gnex in the display using the HDMI adapter, while the keyboard is plugged through the OTG adapter. trying to make it easy: gnex plugged in HDMI adapter, HDMI to the display, in the connector that we usually plug the charger I will plug the OTG cable with the keyboard in it.
If this works the battery will run out fast as hell, but I don't know if is possible to do it.

No you can not have HDMI adapter and OTG at the same time.
Bluetooth is your best bet. I got a logitech bluetooth keyboard and mouse made for tablets and have a nice case for the keyboard that turns into a stand for your tablet and phone. Also if you have bluetooth on your pc like i do, i use it for that too
Here is the keyboard I got: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Tabl...501&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+android+keyboard

Why did you post this without a link to where you got it? I don't see this card reader for sale anywhere when I searched for it.
These are my thoughts on OP.
Thanks man. I'm avoiding bluetooth stuff. Too many things to charge in the end of the day. So far I was able to connect a mouse and a keyboard to the gnex using the OTG cable and an USB hub. I'll lock for a workaround to this, maybe a USB display or something like that.

I have the same doubtful question with this guy. Just like the ninth poster has said, we can not have HDMI adapter and OTG working at the same time. What about someday there is an another HDMI output on the device ?
I'm wondering if Chromecast will let me use a TV as a tablet monitor? If not, would an HDMI cable? And, is something like that available at a Radio Shack. I have found a lot of cables but none say much more than abbreviated descriptions that mean nothing to me.

I personally would suggest you get an MHL adapter without the HDMI cable added. Something like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&format=2
Reason I say that is because if the HDMI cable breaks or wears down after use you will have to replace the whole thing. The microUSB MHL adapter is only a few inches big. It's easier to keep safe in my opinion. Then you can provide any length HDMI cable you want.
This works with the note 10.1 2014?
Thanks
