USB C to HDMI? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have an answer to whether this is supported? Please say yes

There is an adapter cable for sale on the play store.

Link? I just checked and saw no HDMI adapter on there

From the reddit AMA:
[–]strabbit 7 points an hour ago
Will either the Nexus 5x or 6p support HDMI via the USB-C connector?

[–]google_nexus_team 12 points 54 minutes ago
DB> Nope. But Cast mirroring to ChromeCast or Android TV has got really good. And Chromecasts are only $35. And we have new ones announced yesterday.

That's bull**** if you ask me that they didn't enable it just because they are trying to push more of their products.
Sure I have a chromecast and whatnot and I can do all of that just fine at home.. But if I go somewhere that doesn't have WiFi I want to be able to connect my phone to the TV still.
Google of your going to not enable HDMI adapter connections, then make your chromecast capable of direct connection that doesn't rely on wifi

The usbC port on the nexus uses USB 2.0 standard... not a chance
Most USB-C promised feature (which actually are usb3.1 features) will not work ; it's a shame

No one has been able to confirm the spec on the USB port. Most report it to be 3.0 with some 3.1 sprinkled in.

I read somewhere that USB is indeed 2.0 with USB type C port, like the OnePlus Two. At least it has quick charging
Does MHL or whatever the other standard is work? I thought that allowed the phone to "cast" to the screen?

Google themselves confirmed during the AMA that it is 2.0

And disabled casting to Roku 3 in 7.0. gotta have a Chromecaat.

I'm wondering this too. Is it a new name for MHL through the micro USB port or something? I've been through pictures of the Nexus 4 and I don't see any other ports.
slimport
look up analogix slimport. Can't post link since I am a new member
product page
Technology behind SlipPort looks good and promising. Besides it means new type of connector, I like and welcome it.

No this is an adapter you would buy to ADD functionality that you didn't already have Not quite the same thing...
I like it.
Odd that the Google site says the Nexus 4 uses "SlimPort" technology for HDMI out while the LG Optimus G (on which the Nexus 4 is based) uses a normal USB MHL connector. Seems like an odd thing to switch?

I guess the advantage is you can still use the USB port to sync etc while hooked up to your HDTV. If the nexus 4 supports usb host (Stick mount on the GN) then maybe you could play movies off a usb drive onto your HDTV using your N4!

Unless there're two microUSB ports on the Nexus 4, I don't see how you can use that port while it is occupied by this SlimPort. The SlimPort adapter does not look like it has a secondary port on it for USB OTG as well
Only way mirroring and USB OTG can work simultaneously is via Miracast?.

This is the first I am reading of SlimPort as well, but it has a couple advantages over MHL from what I can see
- It does not require external power. This was always a PITA with MHL cables, you had to "power" them from another USB port, usually on your TV. With SlimPort it is just a straight-through cable since it needs no extra power. Much more elegant.
- It can not only output HDMI but also DisplayPort and possibly other formats. Not a HUGE use per-se, but there are some monitors that only have DisplayPort nowadays.
All in all, SlimPort seems to be better than MHL... although I too feel a bit "Appled" by having to buy another cable..
Amazon sells the adapter, and it looks to have a microUSB port on it: amazon.com/gp/product/B009UZBLSG
Also, their informational site for SlimPort: slimportconnect.com

The Analogix PDF describing the Slimport chip in the Nexus 4 explicitly states that the USB data and Slimport Video out are mutually exclusive. One or the other, much to my dismay. It DOES support charging, as stated in plenty of documentation. It also supports display out without power. This is something that in my experience (Galaxy Note & MHL) that MHL does not allow.
so anybody got the slimport working? or USB OTG? or miracast?

Otg support ?

Hello everyone,
Is the pixel c support OTG ? can i use an usb flash drive with the pixel c ? thanks a lot
On twitter Google store answer me : "Mind if we jump in? The Pixel C does not have USB OTG. Hope that helps."
Thanks a lot
Yes. It does have OTG. I have tested it with a USB-C hub and was able to use a usb flash drive and Ethernet my device.

Is it correct that this hub doesn't have power pass through to be able to charge the tablet?
Really like the hub, but didn't buy, as I'd like it to power the tablet too.
I picked up a Griffin USB-C to USB-A adapter, plugged it in to my Pixel C, and plugged a memory stick into the cable. ES File Explorer recignized the memory stick immediately. On the box for the cable it stated that it was for plugging USB peripherals into your tablet.
https://griffintechnology.com/us/usb-c-to-usb-a-adapter
With so many cables not passing Benson Leung's tests, I am a bit unsure with USB-C OTG cable I should get. The original one from Google is 15 € which is kinda expensive...
Does anyone know if he reviewed some USB-C OTG cables? I can't find anything.
It only has full size USB a ports, so can't plug in a charger no.
The battery life is great on he Pixel C though, so all good

I agree that you could get it to fit, but not sure I'd want it facing straight up with my cables and sticks attached.
Seems it would stress the port or worse I'd catch it and cause some damage.

Short answer is I don't at the moment, as have not had a chance to look at the online spreadsheet to see what he has tested and approved.
Will hopefully get to look later.
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Does not appear to be included in the spreadsheet, so likely he has not reviewed.
I tried Google's own USB C to A (female adapter that looks like a otg cable) with a memory stick and it did not work, however I plugged in a USB2 hub into that adapter and then plugged the memory stick into that and it sees to work like a charm with esexplorer, I could also attach other things like a mouse and that worked too at the same time! So the trick is to use a USB hub with Google's adapter first and you can use any USB accessories just not directly into the adapter. I have not tried a USB 3 type hub as I don't have one but I suspect it will be fine and give you even faster speeds.

There are lots of OTG devices that work perfectly on my Nexus 5x - such as a microSD adapter, USB C ->A with a thumbdrive and my iRig UA guitar adapter
None of these work on my Pixel C.
I just got off a chat with Google support where I was told
"I'm sorry to inform you, at this moment it's not compatible. Be rest assured [sic], our engineers are working on a software fix to make it compatible with the Pixel C."
I responded with a link to the reddit AMA which seemed to state otherwise and the support rep told me that she'd get back to me via email with a response.
You can try plugging a USB 2.0 or 3.0 hub into a USB C>A adapter (mine was the Google adapter and the hub a USB 2 unpowered type) as I did and and that worked for me and I can now access Memory sticks on my Pixel C with no extra software (not sure about your iRig but it worked with other accessories I tried plugging into the hub).

Thanks, I'll try with a hub. I just don't understand why a hub is required for the Pixel-C but not for the Nexus 5x
There certainly seems to be a less complete stack in the Pixel-c -vs- the Nexus 5x.
Interestingly when I insert a cable into the Nexus 5x I get a dialog to set the usb mode:
"Use USB for
- Charging
- Power Supply
- File Transfers
- Photo transfer (PTP)
- Midi"
Where as the Pixel-C only gets "Power Supply" as an option.

I've tried 2. One worked, one didn't. Both were designed for macbooks, so ymmv.
I will try this out when I get the chance.
Tried one at the Computex last WE, for MacBook. Didn't work.
And after I tried the HTC10 and put it back to the MacBook it didn't work at all anymore.

Adapter needs to use display port protocol, not mhl. Some adapters (USBC to HDMI) will use mhl internally and won't work (to my knowledge). See USB-C thread in 'Real Life'? section.

Buy your nagging mhl cable a baby sister; a USB-C to HDMI port adapter / hub. It uses display port protocol and supports 4k. Adapter also includes USB 3.0 host port (so OTG) and 2nd USB-C port (for charger connection, I think optional, but I always use). Charge phone and watch at same time. See referenced thread for source. Win-win but approx $30. Need standard HDMI cable. Works well for me.

I ran into the same problem the mac pro adapter, it would charge or display not both. I went this route Microsoft - Wireless Display Adapter V2 receiver - Dark-Titanium and use HTC connect. It works great.

Just curious... you've had no problem charging this way? I wasn't sure if the 10 could take a regular USB-C charger or if it needed a QC compatible charger.
Partial answer. The HTC-10 does not need QC2 charger, just might charge slower or at various rates supplied by charger. I use several different chargers I had for my micro USB phones. Both using micro-USBC adapters, and USB-C cable direct. What I haven't tried (per your question), is fully charging via the mentioned display adapter. I doubt that the will recognize it as QC2. I will try this with the HTC supplied charger.

Is this available anywhere else? I was hoping to find this or a similar device on Amazon or something but nothing else has been confirmed to be compatible. Is your experience with this device still a positive one??
Also, I am assuming that if you want to supply charging power to this device you need to use a non-QuickCharge charger as supplying greater than 5V to the electronics in this device would be bad...? What about still using legacy USB-A to USB-C cables (like the one that came with the HTC 10) with the 56K Ohm resister?

I use mine all the time at work for about 3-7 hours a night (5 nights a week) - have it plugged into spare monitor to watch youtube etc.
I using the default charger that came with the HTC 10 and only gets slightly warm (charger & adaptor) when I been playing games for a hour or two.
Been thinking about purchasing another one as a backup.

I called Project Fi Support and the customer service rep did not know, but he was curious as well. When you receive your pixel xl please update us. Thanks!
USB Type-C guru Benson Leung has informed us that the Pixel phones don't work with the adapter because they lack VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode that is on the Pixel C and Chromebook Pixel, which means that they aren't compatible with any adapters of this sort.

I heard you can't use USB to HDMI, not tried it as I don't have a cable, but would make sense since they likely want to sell a few more Chromecast.
That sucks. I wonder if V20 does. I need hdmi compatibility.
I'm curious if this will work with a displayport based or mhl based usb c- hdmi adapter
I read that the V20 is hdmi compatible so I am leaning toward the v20 at this point

The Pixel's do not support Miracast since they would have to pay royalties to include it. They do support Chromecast which you can get a dongle for $35. Which will allow screen mirroring on to a tv.

You won't like it but... LG V20
I've been investigating all routes to achieve this with my pixel, wish I'd gone for a S7 or LG V20 now as the lack of alternatives to Chromecast are none. The reason being I'm using this in my car with Appradio Unchained and needing an internet signal is a right pain. Not to mention the CC not being picked up randomly by it in cast devices. My nexus 5 was perfect for this as it supported slimport.
I have found something of an alternative however it doesn't quite work unfortunately. There are two modes to mirror, USB debugging and USB Tethering. With debugging I get audio but no video. With Tethering I get video but no audio. Which is making think about buying one of these audio embedders. It would mean having to connect the headphone jack as well but hey it would in theory work and at least the audio would quality would be excellent...

USB-C to HDMI Cable?

Any recommendations on a good USB-C to HDMI Cable? With Desktop Mode finally being an option in Q, I'm hoping to test it out when Q is officially released and we see some apps support it. Preferably with availability in the States.
Amazon basic have better option for this USB-C to HDMI, I'm using that work perfectly

Hi,
Does it work as HDMI + USB or only HDMI?
Is anyone able to screen mirror Netflix,YouTube TV, Hulu or Amazon prime with the cable? I have a cable and it mirrors everything except those apps when I'm playing video.

I don't want to maybe start a new thread so I thought here - does anyone charge their oneplus 7 pro type c from their laptop/pc to type c on their phone? my ultrabook doesn't quite have enough ports for usbs. so I wanna take away my phone on a usb and use a type c port instead to charge it.
I see some type c cables are 3.1 or something. for charging do I need the expensive cables?

thanks haha!
I have an Aukey USB hub which seems to work great. HDMI and USB. It can charge my phone but that seems to be too slow to be useful.

You guys won't be able to mirror those apps unless you've rooted your phone and found a way to patch the application to make it think there is no secondary display connected. The reason you're getting nothing from these apps is they detect the presence of a secondary display, and since the phone cannot comply with HDCP over the adapter cable (not supported), it will not display correctly (black screen where the picture should be or no display at all). I've had a phone in the past with a miniHDMI port and I've used a proper mini-to-full HDMI cable without issue to watch Netflix, but that was a straight HDMI connection with HDCP. Netflix and them take anti-piracy seriously, yo!

Recommend an adapter with a power plug in so your phone doesn't run out of juice while watching TV.
