Can anybody recommend a good quality Micro-USB to HDMI adaptor for the Z3c? I've tried the product by Volans and it suddenly stopped working after about 45 minutes of use.
There are loads on eBay/Amazon.

This is about as long as I have found. You may have to use an extension cable for anything beyond 15'.
A 25' extension cable on Monoprice is $20.

Have you tested it?
Use a standard HDMI long cable and a mini to standard HDMI adapter. Amazon and pretty much everyone else seems to carry the adapters for reasonable prices.

Duh! That's a good idea
Don't know why i didn't think about adapter
Another option (if you got the 3.1 update...) is to use a bluetooth mouse. I do that when I hook my laptop up to the TV. a 15' cable across the living room will definitely aggravate the wife...
One other thought. Is the HDMI out on the Xoom micro or mini? Check on that before buying anything.
micro. I have the 10 foot cable from Monoprice and it works fine
I have the 15' cable from Monoprice and it works fine.
I would be leary of adapters on the Xoom side as that will put added strain on the XOOM connector.
I like the idea of the BT mouse/keyboard. That will solve needing a long HDMI cable. Now I need to buy a short cable as well - gee thanks!
I bought this 50' cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QKKAPE
and this adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00481C4RO
Both work great.
I may have to pick up that adapter. Since it has a short cable that will reduce any strain on the Xoom connector.
Thanks!
On second thought, $13 for that adapter is a bit too much. Monoprice has it for $3.

I'm not trying to push Monoprice, but they do have really good prices and everything I have ordered has worked great and shown up very quickly.
i have the 15' from monoproce and it worls great payed only about 10 bucks
I have the 15ft hdmi as well works great also got 2 15ft micro usb. Didn't spend that much at all compared to other shops.
Monoprice is awesome for cables.
I went with a $4 adapter from China and my xbox HDMI cable yeah I'm cheapo! and a BT keyboard with "integrated joystick-mouse thingy" I had, works nicely.
Hi, im looking to buy a samsung mhl adapter however my tv only has rca connect, if i buy a hdmi to rca cable will the video still display on my tv.. i.e hdmi goes into mhl adapter and rca goes into tv... Thankyou
No, it wont work..if its just a simple adapter. Via HDMI or DVI... you get a digital signal. RCA or VGA...ect. you get a analog signal. It's not compatible to each other, except you connect a hdmi/rca converter between the two cables. Simple adapter from china just won't work..
You need a converter -- HDMI is a digital signal, whereas composite video (the single yellow RCA cable) or component video (red/green/blue RCA cables) are analog.
Something like this one from Monoprice will do the trick. eBay and Amazon also carry devices like this, in the same price range.
Thanks alot guys i will be buying a converter...
Hopefully you're aware that the video quality from composite will be quite poor.
Presumably if your TV doesn't have HDMI or VGA connectors then it's probably still a CRT screen?
I know Google has one in the store, but it's been a month and never has come out yet/been available.
Anyone find anything else that can do the charging pass through and have a DAC chip in the headphone port?
https://store.google.com/product/moshi_usb_c_headphone_adapter_charger
+1 to this, I drive a lot and my vehicle doesn't have Bluetooth but has aux in, so having the screen on, maps running, and music playing, all while charging is a must.
My solution has been to use a Bluetooth to 3.5 adapter. Less than ideal, but works
I is a Bluetooth to fm radio that plugs into my cigarette lighter port it also has a USB connection point so I can charge as well. Its a scoche one it was around 50$ when I bought it a year ago just have to find a new open channel when I go to a different town
well, you sorta can. The major problem with all of this is that the market hasn't caught up with the need yet so it might be a bit until we get something good but there is a solution:
currently I use:
(USB C to USB 3.0 Hub, ARKTEK Type C (male) to USB A 3.0 (female) with Type C (female) Charging, 4-in-1 Hub Adapter for MacBook Series Chromebook Pixel and more (Aluminum, Silver)) - From Amazon (Canada)
and
(TROND AC2 Aluminum USB Audio Adapter with 3.5mm Stereo Headphone/Speaker and Mono Microphone Jacks ) - From Amazon (Canada)
(just google the links, can't put them in here )
... that I've hooked up together in order to get digital audio out, as there's no available solution for this yet besides the moshi cable from google (part of the reason why I can't go for that is price and that its not available in Canada -.-). I've tried other splitters from various places that claim to do this but they don't work with the pixel, so this is your best bet. in the process of trying to use a USB-a male to USB-C female adapter (also from Amazon Canada) to skip the adapter and try to use the headphone dongle that came with the phone to see if that would work, ill try it and update afterwards.
*edit: forgot to mention, if you do use this setup you have to go to developer options > select USB configuration > audio source for it to work

Hi
Can you recomment a dual us slitter for google pixel 2?
The phone does have working displayport output out the jack. Tested working with a passive usb-c to DP cable and regular monitor. It also did not work an active-type usb-c to to HDMI adapter.
If anyone has any adapters laying around, post your experience. I'm especially interested in seeing if the apple triple slorg adapter works with this phone and also charges.
I need an extension/adapter that works with my Dex Cable so I can put it behind my all in one Lenovo instead of it sticking out the side. I bought one off Amazon (CERRXIAN 1FT Flat Slim High Speed HDMI Extension Cable A Female to 90 Degree Down Angle A Male Cord), but it doesn't work, so can anyone recommend one?
It's an HDMI in port so I guess a female (for Dex Cable) to male adapter cable (into Lenovo).
An "L" adatpter would be optimal. So it can wrap around the back of the unit.
Thanks.
DEX CABLE HMDI > HDMI ADAPTER > My Device's HDMI Port
The issue (most likely) is that HDMI is not receiving a sufficient amount of power. You should try to use a repeater. The fastest way to confirm it would be to buy it from a local store and eventually return it if it doesn't work.
