Hello? I'm thinking of buying Sony's mini laser beam projector MP-CL1.
This device have widi and miracast for wireless and a hdmi port for wire connection.
As far as I know, 5x doesn't support miracast and I'm not sure about widi.
So I'm thinking of connecting 5x to the projector by hdmi port.
I do own a hdmi cable and am going buy usb c to hdmi adapter.
In theory, 5x usb c to hdmi adapter to cable to projector would be the way connect.
I just want to know has anyone tried connecting 5x to any hdmi devices like tv or projector?
Under Settings - Display - enabled "Wireless" in Cast - N5X connected to Chromecast's HDMI connection to the HDTV, playing MP4 video now. (EX rom)
I usually travel with the Chromecast and not bother with taking along an HDMI cable and more adapters/converters - and, USB powered - nano router with hotspot functionality for wireless network.
In addition to support for Chromecast, which is a given among Nexus/Android devices including N5 and N5X, N7, etc. - I can also confirm that N5X solidly support Miracast. I have an Android TV Box (has its own HDMI connection) with support for FireReceiver and Miracast -casting wirelessly now directly to HDTV, whatever is on the N5X screen and of course, pictures & videos ... presentations / slides should NOT be a problem. Depending on where OP is buying the Sony projector, I would take the N5X along to test it on the spot before buying/taking it home, unless familiar with it.

I grabbed an excellent MHL HDMI cable last week. I figured out that the MHL subsystem, which does consume some extra power, only activates after a HDCP handshake occurs. This means you can safely use an MHL cable as a micro-USB extension cable with no adverse effects until a HDMI display is connected and poweres up.
However, this behavior has ne wondering: which other accessories will cooperate while MHL is active?
USB Host-Mode adapter -- NO
USB Hub -- NO
Official Landscape Desktop Dock (Pogo) -- remains to be seen?
Of course, accessories that connect over wifi, Bluetooth, or NFC work, we're discussing USB-based accessories only.

yeah, u can use micro usb to hdmi adapters or use samsung allshare cast dongle which does this job wireless.
3 options:
Samsung MHL adapter.
you plug your charger and an HDMI cable into the adapter, adapter goes into your micro usb port.
pros: small, cheap.
cons: can't use external storage, doesn't fit with many cases/covers, only works with adapters made specifically for the S3/4 and note 2(generic MHL adapters have less pins).
smart dock.
works the same as the MHL adapter but has some extra functions.
pros: comes with its own charger, adds 3 USB ports for mouse, keyboard, and USB storage.
cons: desktop mode(plug in a mouse, phone screen turns off) is slow, without a mouse your phone is stuck in portrait for rotating apps, expensive.
allshare cast dongle.
little box that connects to your TV through HDMI and comes with its own power cable+wall plug.
you can keep the box plugged in, connects like a Bluetooth headset but using the allshare cast menu(Wi-Fi) instead of Bluetooth.
pros: wireless, otg cable, charger, and data cable can still be connected.
cons: compression artifacts show while playing heavy games or when playing unsupported video files(software decoding), tricky to get to work when you have cwm installed, even with Wi-Fi disabled your phone may randomly connect to your network causing the allshare connection to be reset, expensive.
best choice would probably be an MHL adapter.
allshare cast can be interesting if you have other recent Samsung galaxy devices(camera, s3/4, note 10.1/8)
smart dock can be interesting if you want to use your phone as a desktop computer.
O great ones, your sage advice would be very much appreciated.
The following items are in the picture :
2013 Nexus 7
1TB hard drive (NTFS)
OTG cable
Slimport to HDMI adapter (and HDMI cable, of course)
Nexus Media Importer
Sony Bravia HDTV
Is there any way to connect both the HDD and the HDMI cable simultaneously? We can play most things to the TV via DLNA (BubbleUPnP), but a less finicky setup would be to have the HDD and the HDMI connected to the Nexus, without any DLNA in the picture. Of course there is only one slimport jack...
Any suggestions?
Just got my galaxy tab and cannot get the official Samsung mhl hdmi adapter to output to my onkyo tx-nr636. The receiver has a dedicated mhl hdmi in and is fully hdcp 2.2 compliant. The tablet recognizes it is connected but insists it be connected directly to my tv. (This works) Has Samsung deliberately crippled this tablet? If so, are there any workarounds to get streaming audio and video to a receiver? I'm looking for as high a quality as possible as it is feeding my 150" protection screen. I'm incensed that this is even an issue.
I just found out that I have the same problem with my Tab S 8.4. It works when connected to a regular HDMI connector + USB port on my TV, but does not work when connected to the MHL connector on my Onkyo NR-616. The front connector on the Onkyo is a true MHL connector, which means that it provides both HDMI and power to the device. Most devices provide only HDMI which means that you need an additional USB power source to power the setup. The Onkyo front Aux/MHL connector works perfectly with my Galaxy S5 phone. When I plug in the Tab S, it appears to try to connect, but can't. I think that this is not intentional on the part of Samsung but is a bug. Maybe it will be fixed with a future software update (not holding my breath on that one).
I have no problems streaming hi def content to my chromecast through my yammy receiver to my pj.
I purchased a USB Type-c to HDMI cable recently. My plan was to plug the HDMI end into my projector and view the phone screen that way.
I have tried with two smart TVs as well as the projector with no result.
I look on the sources of all HDMI and nothing changes.
The phone does not provide an automatic option e.g. no message to enable the HDMI connected device.
I have went through all of the TV and projector settings with no result.
All TVs and projector work fine for a laptop that also has HDMI to HDMI.
Any ideas of is this a step to far for the lite?
I see that the better phones have 'desktop' or 'project' mode.
Unfortunately p20 lite does not support type c to hdmi out. You can cast via any caat device.
