Which MHL adapter

I'm wondering which MHL adapter to get
http://www.amazon.com/Skiva-Adapter...d=1359051907&sr=8-3&keywords=mhl+lg+optimus+g
http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt..._1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359051896&sr=8-1&keywords=MHL
Also, has anyone tested Miracast on this device yet?

Get the cheapest one, there probably isn't any difference between the 2.

Mhl is a Samsung thing ain't it? I would think you would use a slimport like the nexus 4.....

This is the one I bought: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/180895011500...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4583wt_1341 (Just search HDMI MHL adapter on eBay). Got it for $4.50 and it works well.

MHL is a standard protocol. Some HDTV and Receivers from Onkyo and Denon are suppporting it it their latest gen products.
Some adaptators support 720p and some can do 1080p.

just a reminder mhl is not supported on any custom rom

Not even on CM10.1?

Has there been any progress made regarding MHL support for custom roms(CM,pacman etc) ?

[Q] Micro USB to HDMI (MHL) Adapter

Has anyone had any luck using an a Micro USB to HDMI adapter?
I am trying to get my adapter working with the Optimus G Pro but having no luck. It does work fine with my Galaxy Note and my brother's Droid Razr Maxx HD. I read an article stating that MHL does not work with this phone yet the specs that are advertised state that the micro USB connection supports MHL.
Any input would be great.
Thanks.

If you're using the mhl adapter, that's the problem. No need for mhl at all.

What do you mean?
Am I correct in saying that the only way to view your home screen and games on the big screen is to use the miracast device or an MHL adapter? I can already view videos wirelessly through DLNA but I want to do more than just watch media.

I'll check when I get home, I wouldn't guess it would be an issue with this phone

OGPro doesn't support mhl. Straight USB to HDMI is what u need.

MHL adapter won't work. You'll need a SlimPort adapter, which is much more expensive.

Thanks Guys I'll get one and try it out.

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.

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?

[Q] slimport HDMI adapter for TV

I bought a slimport adapter for the G pad to output video/audio to my TV so I can watch movies from the tablet. Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all. Could it be that this adapter doesn't work with my ROM (AOKP 4.4.2)? Or is the adapter possibly garbage?
Any advice/experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

Genuine, or not...

I didn't tried yet, but i plan to buy one too. Is the adapter labeled with DP logo?
It's maybe sold has a SlimPort one. They are apparently indenticals...
Regarding AOKP ROM i can't tel sorry.

Can you also try CM11, please?
I think it's rather a ROM than an adapter problem..

It works. It is a problem with the roms. I think we'll have to wait a while for a lot of the kinks the AOSP roms to be worked out. Some sensors and such also doesn't work very well atm. SlimPort deffo works on stock rom as you can see in the video above.

No, It doesn't have any DP logo. I think I'm just going to sell the adapter and try connecting with Miracast.

Yeah, it's probably a ROM issue. I'm not willing to switch to CM right now and re-install everything just to test it. I think I'll try some other mirroring technology like Miracast.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any experience with Miracast? I bought an adapter for my TV. I'm going to try that to see how it works.

For what it's worth, I bought the Cable Matters slim port adapter I had seen recommended here - as far as I can tell, it's DOA.
I went back and read the reviews on Amazon; it appears that this has become an increasingly common issue with this particular adapter.
I'm still on the stock ROM.

I take it MHL adapters don't work on this?
What about micro HDMI to VGA (which I use on my old playbook to show presentations on projector at work that does not have HDMI)

I've never outputted or inputted anything through hdmi or slimport myself, from a tablet that is. My advice would be to check out what the slimport connector supports.. A specsheet from somewhere. Surely it must be documented somewhere. Since the guy in the vid was able to output audio and video plus doing a usb read, I guess it can do a few things.
Sorry, I only know that the port supports video out.

I'm not willing to switch to CM right now and re-install everything just to test it. I think I'll try some other mirroring technology like Miracast. :fingers-crossed:

I don't think that MHL adapters will work, because the G Pad hardware supports Slimport instead. Slimport adapters are available for either HDMI or VGA output. I don't know if anybody here has used a Slimport-VGA adapter, but I assume that it will work.
You can find them on Amazon.

I can confirm that MHL adapter - microUSB to HDMI - does not work.

Thanks for testing. We definitely need a Slimport Adapter then.
Other question, does Slimport works on CMB? (I can't post in the CMB thread yet, I'm below the 10 posts restriction... )

MHL to HDMI adapter?

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
