How to connect to a HDMI projector/screen? What adaptors/leads required? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi i'm having problems finding an adaptor or lead (or both) that i can use to connect my Xioami A2 lite to a standard HDMI port. Are there any adaptors that are definitely compatible? Thanks

Mi a2 lite to TV over HDMİ is İMPOSSİBLE .
Only you can use Miracast hdmi dongle which is wireless.
here is the example :

Ah damn. Thanks for the reply. I wanted to connect the phone straight to a projector. I wonder is it at all possible to send my phone screen to my laptop? I could then use the projector from the laptop.

You can use 3rd party Phone screen mirroring to pc Apps. But they are not great :/ lower resulation and tons of lags

This is the tutorial, but you need HDMI supported projector

Anyone have a idea on this one?

You can use a MHL adapter but you have to use the one for the S3...the previous MHL adapters were 5 pin...and i believe the MHL our phone requires is a 13 pin...dont quote me but i think thats the numbers.
If you want to show videos or pictures from the phone to the tv you could use all share or Twonky beam. If you want to mirror what's on the phone then you probably have to buy the wireless dongle.

What about mirror could I use my old mhl one from my 3d or do I need to buy a new one?

Post #3 you have to use a new one OR get an adapter for your old one.
the new phone is 11pin I believe so the old mhl will work "directly"

The most simple solution in my opinion is go to best buy and buy a blue tooth tv adapter. All you would have to do is set it up and then connect via wifi from your phone.

[Q] Video out

Does the nexus 7 have video out? I am coming from Ipad 2 and that is one feature I need in a tablet.
I don't mind buy an extra cable. Already did that with the ipad. I have a dumb lcd tv, so no help there.

The nexus 7 (2013 model) is compatible with slimport which stream over hdmi.
Here's a link to the cable:

There's no system setting that is supposed to be applied while plugging the cable. It should show up into the tv. How much time you've waited for it to come?

OnePlus One and HDMI - MHL, Slimport, none?

Does anyone know if the OPO supports HDMI output either via MHL or SlimPort?
I have a monoprice MHL 2.0 adapter that used to work with my LG phone. Does not seem to work with my OnePlus. I am wondering if it supports SlimPort before I go out and buy one.
Good question
it was confirmed that the oneplus one does not support Mhl or Slim Port, only miracast unfortunately.

Still worth it though

I asked a tech support about the TV out and screen mirroring and this was his reply
thank you for contacting the Technical Support of ONE PLUS, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. TV OUT is supported through some 3rd party cables. Screen mirroring is also supported by ONE.
Should you require any further information, Please do let me know

No TV out in OPO over the USB connector! Only wireless with miracast and rooted with chromecast too
Samsung all share cast works too. Have it on my car for my appradio 3. The only problem is, I havnet figured out how to get out of app radio mode short of pulling the HDMI cable.

Yes Miracast does work to Chromecast. Im rooted and running that withkut any problems. Still have to test out those MHL adapters.
Today I will receive my One and I will test screen mirroring with Roku 3.

Microsoft Lumia (Continuum) Dock Works with HTC 10

Lisa from mobiletechreview did a smackdown between the HTC 10 and Samsung S7. In the video review she mentioned she was able to use the Microsoft Lumia (Continuum) Dock to power peripherals, connect HDMI to mirror the screen, and charge the device. This is pretty awesome and surprised many aren't talking about it. The HTC 10 may be the closest android fans get to a true desktop replacement experience (with the dock). If only android allowed running full Chrome, HTC 10 with the dock could be a chromebook/desktop replacement.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/HTC-10.htm
I will have to test when I get my 10! I have the 950xl currently and have the dock for it. It would be awesome if I could still use it! Is there any software needed installed on the 10 to run it?
This will get a lot more exciting with Android N and multitasking/free moving windows.
Any chance we'll e able to do something with RemixOS in order to get a continuum thing going?

Thanks to USB-C, HTC10 will be supported

But give me a mobile desktop and not just a screen mirror, please!
its great to see that the microsoft display dock works with the 10. but is there not a cheaper (and wired) solution than this? id really only be looking to use the HDMI screen mirroring as well as charging the device simultaneously. i havent been able to find anything though.
if this really is the only solution then the $100 will be well spent, but id still prefer something a bit cheaper.

Do you mean something like this:

I've picked up a generic USB-C to HDMI adaptor which I plan to test as soon as my 10 arrives. IF that works, I may take the plunge on a hub.

MS dock can only do 1080p. The HooToo dock can do 4K, and HTC 10 has the ability to do 4K. I would love to see my 4K videos recorded in HTC 10 straight on my 4K TV instead of doing it over wifi through cast.
That alone is 20$ worth for me. So, I would pay 120$ if HooToo works with HTC 10...

The Nexus does not support video out, which is why it doesn't work. I guess a few things had to give to hit their price...
My guess is something as simple as this would work:

That can work but won't simultaneously charge the phone
Guys, any update on the dock? I see I'm not the only person on the planet who already started to think how to utilise fully that usb-c port. Since the review the OP posted suggests that the docking station work, that would mean others should too (most of them at least). Also there are already reports that usb-c to hdmi simple adapters work so I guess that's settled. The only thing I need and would love to is usb-c to hdmi WITH charging, but from what I can tell there is nothing like that on the web. Only usb-c to hdmi without charging. However, those hubs look pretty interesting and that's why I'm coming here as some of you mentioned they were planning to order a hub and check it out. If any of you got it already can you tell me if the charging of the phone works with the hub?
If so, I'm looking into this:
http://www.unitek-products.com/en/product_detail.php?id=430
I already have couple things from Unitek, still working till this day and I know they are solid company.
If anybody's interested I wrote a question to the guys from mobiletech and here is Lisas response:
Hi Lucas,
The Lumia dock did indeed charge the phone. USB-C charging has very exacting specifications, and I can’t say whether Unitek’s would .
best,
Lisa

So she confirmed that the Lumia dock did indeed charge the phone which is great, because it looks most likely that most of those hubs should act very alike. I will probably orded the Unitek hub over the weekend.
Im also very interested in mirroring HTC 10 through theese kind of hubs. The possibility to use it as a "computer" with simultaneous charging, monitor, keyboard and mouse is all I'm looking for. From what I heard it's quite demanding, let's just hope HTC 10 got what it takes to deliver flawless experience!
Just ordered the Unitek hub. Should be at my place sometime during the middle of this week. I'll let you know how it turned out.
Anyone considered one of these? supposedly a drop in replacement on the lumia so using that as a benchmark for compatibility.

USB-C Ethernet adapters

I know its still early in the release of the phone but i need an Ethernet adapter for the Pixel 3. My Anker brand (linked below) does not seem to work, however it did work on the Nexus 5x, and OG Pixel. Let me know if you guys found one that works.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-1-Gigabit-Compatible-ChromeBook/dp/B00ZZ6NW5E
I have a hunch that they may have removed support for this as my USB-C Ethernet dongle does not work on my 3 either. It worked on the 2 XL.
I'll have to try my luck with a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter -> USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter.
Update: It didn't work. Tried 3 adapters overall.
Looks like the hardware changed or Google changed something in software to block it.
I just tried the USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter that came in the box as well as a StarTech USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter and my Pixel 3 XL recognized it and started using ethernet. Dunno what u guys are talking about.
https://www.amazon.com/USB-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Adapter/dp/B0095EFXMC/
I've got a TP-Link UE300 and it works as it did on Pixel XL.

Saw your reply to me in a Disqus thread. It seems to vary per adapter.
All the adapters that I previously owned worked on my 2 XL but do not work on my 3. I bought the one you mentioned and while the 3 gains an ethernet connection, it is limited to USB 2.0 speeds for some reason.
I need it to work at gigabit speeds for it to work for my application at work.
If anyone can confirm an adapter that runs at a gigbit on the Pixel 3, I'd appreciate it! :highfive:

I'll try to test mine with moving a huge file between my laptop and the Pixel 3, both connected to the Gigabit modem.
Speed results later today or tomorrow lol
I have tried several different adapters now. Still can't convince the Pixel 3 to operate at gigabit speed.
Reached out to Google for info, got nothing useful:
Kate W4:48 PM
I understand that you have a query related to the internet connection with Pixel 3 device.
Kris Yadao4:48 PM
Yes
Kate W4:49 PM
I see that you are using USB cables to connect internet, is that correct?
Kris Yadao4:50 PM
I have a couple USB-C to Ethernet adapters.
Kris Yadao4:51 PM

Kate W4:51 PM
Oh, I see.
Kris Yadao4:52 PM
I have been using a Pixel 2 XL for the past year for testing gigabit connections at work. These adapters have worked with that model of Pixel just fine
Kate W4:52 PM
Okay.
Kate W4:53 PM
Kris, I am a Pixel 3 Specialist and will be able to help you with any query related to the device or any feature on the device. Since you are referring to a third party cable or adapter, my scope of support is limited here.
Kris Yadao4:53 PM
I understand that it is a bit of an obscure use case. The Pixel 2 XL has been the only phone I've found where this works.
Kate W4:53 PM
Okay.
Kris Yadao4:54 PM
Was hoping the Pixel 3 would retain this functionality but it seems like it may be gone. Was just hoping to find more info about how this works inside of Android, but I understand if it's not well documented.
Kate W4:55 PM
Kris, as you are using third party cables and adapters, we do not suggest them because they can damage the device.
Kate W4:56 PM
I would have definitely helped you with the information if the issue is with the device or it's feature. Let me check for more information on this.
Kate W4:58 PM
I have checked for the information and it seems that we do not support such functionality on the device.
Kate W4:58 PM
I regret any inconvenience.
Kate W4:59 PM
You can send a feedback on this feature from the settings of the device.
Kate W4:59 PM
Our Engineering team will receive your feedback and might work on the feature if there are more feature requests for the same.
Kate W5:00 PM
Kris, I will also submit a feedback for you.
Kate W5:00 PM
Would there be anything else I may help you with today?
Kris Yadao5:00 PM
I understand Google's stance on accessories. There is no first party option from Google for Ethernet connection and Ethernet seems to be supported in the Android OS as it does recognize when it is connected. I would appreciate if you could pass that feedback along.
Kris Yadao5:01 PM
Thanks for your info. That's all the help I need.
Kate W5:01 PM
I will surely let my team know about this feature.
Kris Yadao5:01 PM
Thank you

When you connect the Pixel 3 via ethernet, does it work only for the basic apps, or are all apps able to detect and utilize the ethernet connection?
I'm considering getting a Pixel 3 but I want to know a little more about its ethernet compatibility. Thanks in advance.
This was an important feature to me, so I tested several adapters. I think it depends on the chipset. Every adapter I tried with the AX88179 chipset worked so far. mcbeat257 reported that the StarTech USB 3 adapter worked, and this is also AX88179.
matteventu reported a TP-Link UE300 working, which is the RTL8153 chipset. I haven't tested one of those, but it's a popular chipset and might also work reliably.
The nicest of the ones I used successfully was this one from Plugable, which goes straight to USB-C without any extra adapter. (I am unable to post the link directly, so you will have to reassemble it.) www amazon com /gp/product/B011DDXGVC/
I also ran a speed test, and I got 295 Mbps download, 202 Mbps upload, 6ms ping. The same ethernet adapter plugged into a laptop gave gigabit performance and 1ms ping, so the speed limitation here appears to be the Pixel 3.
One thing I could not figure out how to get working is calling over ethernet. Calling over wifi works, but it does not seem to kick in for ethernet. If anyone has insight on how to do this, I would love to hear it.
I can also confirm the Pixel 3 XL works with the TRENDnet TU3-ETG with a Type A Female to Type C Male adapter my Pixel came with, it has the same AX88179 Chip set.
However I would like to see USB tethering to work through the adapter so I can provide a wired Ethernet WAN connection from my phone to a Computer or Router.
