Phone that has video output?

Hey
Once again probly a stupid question but is there any phone that can basically directly display onto a TV or similar. Kind of like a video output on a PlayStation/DVD etc. Not USB mass storage.
I want to view my screen on the tv .
Thanks.
P.s hope I put it in the right forum

There are a few phones with HDMI outputs, if you search wikipedia there is a list of phones with features.
The Galaxy Nexus has a HDMI out combined with its micro USB port, to connect it to a TV you would need a MHL connector. You could probably get one off ebay or amazon, or just a phone shop.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc also has a HDMI connector.

galaxy note also can use a MHL connector

Cheers people. I was more curious as to whether it could be done but now I know its that easy I'll have to give it a go.
Thanks for the input everyone

Help-Problem with hdtv adapter/ TV

Hi, i recently bought the hdtv adapter(EPL-3PHPBEGINU) for my galaxy tab 7.0 plus and i was very disappointed when i connected it to my TV(Sony Bravia KLV-40NX500) and nothing came up. Did a lot of googling, went through forums but couldn't find what's going wrong.
In the manual of hdtv adapter it is mentioned that tv should support anynet+(HDMI-CEC) , my tv has sony's own branding of HDMI-CEC(Bravia sync). I also came across forums where they mentioned sony bravia TVs worked fine with samsung mhl adapters.
Anyone who has used the hdtv adapter, please share your experience.
When i connect hdtv adapter to tab, there is sound that dock is connected and also tab screen refreshes. And yes i have connected my charging cable to mhl adapter and phones charges off it.
I am using a HDMI 1.4 cable to connect from adapter to tv.
I am running stock ICS 4.0.4 on my tab.

Try an different HDMI cable. Things are sometimes picky about cables.

May be this is the right adapter EPL-3PHPBEGSTA.

While connecting the HDTV adapter power adapter also should be plugged in. Please check and tell. I'm also waiting to buy the same adapter. i have a samsung gt-p6200
I think EPL-3PHPBEGSTA and EPL-3PHPBEGINU are same item. I think INU stands for india. In samsung india and samsung US sites the part number is shown as EPL-3PHPBEG if you search for EPL-3PHPBEGSTA and EPL-3PHPBEGINU.

Hi,
i bought the same adaptor and my tv is panasonic. It didnot work with the hdmi cable i had, a cheap one. I bought a new belkin 2mtr hdmi cable nw it is working for me.

Pls recommend OTG cable brand

I got a cheap OTG cable, but it wont exactly fit on my S4, now, i cut the micro usb and connected it to my old samsung micro usb cable, and connected the 4 wires but its not working.
Now there's a lot of cheap otg cables but im afraid im gonna end up buying the same thing.
Please, if you guys got a working OTG cable, please post the link where you bought it from.
Thanks

I bought this for my Xoom but it also works with the s4, tested it with ps3 controller. Only thing is that it sticks out a bit meaning its not perfectly flush but it does work. $4.44 add on item for prime

Does the HTC One Mini have Micro HDMI out?

Hi, has anyone tested if the HTC One Mini has HDMI out through the Micro USB port?
Also, can you just plug in a Micro HDMI cable like this one or do you need a MHL adapter?

Htc one mini does not have support for any form of HDMI out.
It supports usb-otg and wireless display.

MHL 3.0 HDTV Adapter

Anyone has use the mhl 3.0 hdtv adapter? It said that the power cable is not required? Anyone tested it? It also can send image to the tv at more resolution that 1080P.

Hey,
I don't know if this will help, but in my first week of owning the GNE I tried to connect it to my television using a mhl 1.0 adapter I got off of eBay. It needed the charging cable to power the adapter, but overall it didn't work. I read somewhere online, that a Samsung brand television is required, or maybe not? I have an Bose television, which is not that popular, but if someone on here can get it to work on a non-Samsung brand television using a mhl 3.0 adapter, let me know.
Thank you for your time and for reading.

I have an MHL 1.0 adapter (Samsung brand) that works fine with my Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 (2014) tablet, but doesn't work with my Note Edge. Definitely something different between the two technologies.

I actually picked up an MHL cable form Amazon last week. I've used a few different brands, and they've always been unreliable - I'm including Samsung's here, which failed in less than a week (!) because of poor construction.
This one's worked pretty well for me so far! I've used it with my Note 10.1 as well as my Note Edge and my only real complaint is the shortness of the cable. You'll have to have a wall outlet pretty closeby or an extension cable in order to use this thing with either of the devices I mentioned. Or you can do what I did and just hook up one of those portable batteries you can get just about anywhere now.
I can't post links yet, but if you look up "Rankie MHL", youll find it.

I own samsung official mhl 3.0 cable. I connected my note 4 with a 4k philips tv and played some 4k samples from lg tv's. Philips TV reported the signal as 2k at info section.
P.S. I have not connected external power surce to mhl adapter

I just use a Belkin Miracast HDMI adapter... works great with the Edge.
