No, don't buy it will not work.
yeah, you need a MHL adapter like bonesy posted
Hey thanks guys... I thought its a simple way...lol..
Why didn't they make mini hdmi like the one in Sony Eric phones... ?
Btw... I don't understand the USB power port in mhl adapter. do we need to plug in our USB power adapter charger in that mhl adapter? Its a power source necessary for this mhl?
I bought an MHL adapter off ebay.
I have found that I need to plug in the charger to the cable but that might just be because I am using the HDMI through an auto switcher that doesn't have it's own power (gets the power from HDMI input). I haven't tried with the HDMI straight into the TV.
I watched a film over HDMI last night and the quality was really good even though it wasn't even a HD movie.
Just get the cheapest one you can find on ebay... they all use the same standard (MHL).

HD doesn't really mean **** if you know what you are doing.
It's all about using high bitrates, low-artifact, low noise, etc when encoding videos. I'd rather have a 25Mbps 720p than a 10MBps 1080p.

Just read this:
The power cable must be connected to the adapter while using it to send video and audio through HDMI. Power charger is not included in packaging. The MHL adapter features an USB Micro-B (female) power input. Connect the charger supplied with your mobile device to the MHL adapter to power your mobile device while it is in use.

I guess we have to connect a power adapter.. I think Sony Ericsson phones dont need this ****... i dont know why would they come out with adding annoying technology...
oN second thought, I believe it can also take power from a USB port. so If ur TV has a USB port then u can simply plugin the adapter with it to supply power and use HDMI cable to connect...

Correct!
Just tried with the side HDMI port on my TV which is next to the USB port and it worked.
Most TV's even cheap ones have a USB on them these days.
And yes... completely agree about the HD video comment. It was a very good DVD rip I had done with a decent bit rate.

it works, you need a 5pin mhl adapter. (the one for galaxy s2)
it's pointless tho, you will get stuck at 1080p30 on full hd tvs, making it choppy for playing anything other than 30 fps videos
I've used a generic USB-HDMI cable with the Relay and it works. The Relay does NOT use Mini or Micro HDMI. It outputs HDMI over USB. This is called MHL. You can read about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link
The cable requires power to work. You must plug your charger into a passthrough port on the cable. The cable appears to have some active circuitry to get HDMI from the 4 pins of USB.

Any advice of where tu buy in UK?
Proper seller from ebay or amazon or any internet shop (bad experience with MHL cable from china, it's working somehow but discharging phone and sometimes no voice).
I've seen some Samsung cables for 99 pounds which is mad, I would like to spend about 10 or so...
Thanks

the discharging is normal. apparently, it is very intensive for the phone, so much that it discharges while charging. as for the sound, dunno, may be a defective unit.
anyway, MHL 1.0 is crap. it's like the beta version of the thing. mhl 2.0 and slimport should work as intented, but right now only S4 and nexus 4 have them
So I recently got a MHL/OTG adapter off of ebay. The HDMI out and usb ports seem to work no problem. My problem is that when connecting my charging cable to the MHL hub my device isn't getting any power. I have no indications of my battery % going up. That means if I were to stream a movie onto my TV it would work fine but I would run out of battery fast. Does this seem like there's something wrong with the MHL adapter? Is my samsung battery charger not strong enough? Any help with this is greatly appreciated. I have done a bit of research on this and found mixed answers.
Actually... That's normal... An otg adapter puts your device into "power output" mode so it can power a flashdrive or other storage device... So the input/charging mode gets turned off.
Plugging your charger into the hub helps power the external devices so they don't kill your battery so quickly...
No. MHL 3 is meant to charge in parallel. Works on mine. It charges at 700mA only though, pretty slow. You can check the current by Synapse App + Skyhigh Kernel. I think you can configure higher charging rates as well(didn't try). MHL 3 is speced for 2A current.
Yeah... MHL works that way... But the OP says it's also an "OTG hub off ebay" .... So were not just talking about a straight MHL adapter... If it's an OTG hub triggering OTG mode on the tablet... Then it won't charge and it's not suppposed to.

Hi, I also have a MHL/OTG adapter like yours (MHL/OTG/Card Reader) MHL-HDMI works flawless but OTG doesn't.
A USB pendrive that works flawless with an OTG cable it doesn't recognized in the hub while MHL>HDMI it's working.
@xmilar can you please post the link to the MHL/OTG adapter you bought and while yours not charge, are MHL+OTG working simultaniusly?
Thanks!
I've looked into MHL adapters for my Tab S 10.5 and LG G3 but it would require multiple cables and if I replace either or both items and the new item uses a different MHL, I would have to spend more money. I ended up just buying a Chromecast that does the same thing and wirelessly. Best $30 I spent
Hello, I ve bought an MHL adapter, the one with usb connector to charge the tablet when using the mhl, anyway nothing is working. The tablet doesnt charge, and shows 2 times the following : HDMI Connected, then after one second HDMI disconnected, two times. On my Sony phone works with no problems. I have skyhigh kernel and stock rom.
Probably it's not MHL 3?
Sorry for the late reply, if is not MHL 3 why is it working on my Sony Z1 compact with 4.4.4 rooted also.
If the adapter works on a Sony device then its probably based on a standard micro USB connector. According to the wikipedia entry for MHL newer samsung devices use a propriety 11 pin micro USB connector for MHL. There is mention of a "tip" to adapt between 11 pin and 5 pin, perhaps you could buy one of these?
Hello!
I just bought an MHL Cable for my GS5 (DeLOCK 83296) and I plugged it into the MHL port of my Toshiba Smart TV: apart from start charging the phone, nothing happens.
I also tried plugging the cable to my Note Pro 12.2 tablet, but the result is the same.
I tried plugging the cable to other standard HDMI ports, no signal.
Is there anything I have to do to make this work? Is the cable faulty? Could MHL version be a problem?
Thanks for your help!
D
That MHL cable uses 5 pin MHL. The S3 and newer Galaxy phones use 11 pin MHL cables. You need either a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter, or a different MHL cable.
Ouch!! Could you please mention a cable that is ok for S5?
Thank you!
I've tried this one Aibocn 3321355, but any cable that says it works with the S3/S4/S5 or that has a 11 pin adapter should work.
Isn't it possibile to have only an HDMI connection on the TV side? Is the USB plug mandatory?
As I sadi, my TV has a powered MHL port...
I bought one of these merely for fun and due to cost.
Works perfectly with both S4 and S5.
Plug into hdmi of tv, usb into a plug and other end to phone, comes on soon as power the usb plug.

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/02/05/mhl-adapter-samsung-galaxy-need/
Looks like if you get a MHL 2.0 or 3.0 adapter, you won't have to connect the adapter to another power source.
The MHL cable has a 5 pin connection, standard on all other phones. You will find the S5 is 11pin so you will need an adaptor 5-11 pin. Easily found on eBay, $2.00
Hope this helps.

Are you also able to use the USB ports? I've bought this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01J4BO0X8/ref=pe_3044161_185740101_TE_item and the HDMI works perfectly, but the USB ports don't work with my usb drives.

Cable Matters USB-C To 4K HDMI Adapter With Power Delivery (2017 MacBook and IMac, Galaxy S8 and Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) In Black
Why not use a chrome cast?
use this usb c hub its the best by far, the only adapter to do 4k 60hz for gaming needs etc but only bad thing is its got usb 2.0 port instead of usb 3.0 which is a bottleneck for hi speed file transfer needs. but other than that it does everything you need it to do like act as a ultra low power 4k 60hz tv box, ultra low power 4k 60 hz gaming rig(emulators etc) and offcourse charging all at the same time via quick charge 3.0 thats 30 watts max. my setup consists of 2x usb gamepad, 4k 60hz hdmi tv with HDR, a 500GB external 2.5"inch hard drive. a usb keyboard and a wireless 2.4ghz mouse all with this adapter oh and another secondary usb 2.0 hub with power and sd card etc connected to the first hub.

you may have initial problems setting up all your devices and enabling enough power to power the phone and the devices so always use powered usb hubs so you dont create a situation where the battery drain is larger than the power being provided. i had to fiddle around to find the sweet spot. for example i realised there are different scenarios when connecting the devices to usb type c hubs. some for example this one im using from scan needs the power charger to be connected the last after connecting hmdi and usb if not done last the power provided is much less or the drain is much higher. when you connect the power leade to the adapter the hdmi display gets cut out and you have to then reconnect the hdmi display to re enable it. i have tested a few of these usb type c hubs with hdmi etc they all seems to have this problem they wont all (display, charge, usb) work when connected at the same time for example connect the devices and display and charge to the hub then connect the hub to the phone, you have to re insert it into the hub after disconnecting it to enable it.
after fiddling around with different combinations for a few days now i have finally been successfull with having a usb external hard drive, hdmi 4k 60hz display and a keyboard and mouse and phone having enough charge to stay on green led while i do everything such as web browse, play games, watch 4k and use keyboard and mouse on my htc u11.
ive noticed when i was using a standard cheap usb optical mouse those with flashing lit leds on all the time caused my charging power to drop so after changing the mouse for a optical 2.4ghz usb mouse it seems to have increased the power for charging which nipped it in the bud for me and my setup. now my htc u11's charge led stays green all the time.
further from my experiments i realised some methods of connecting caused quick charge 3.0 to work but as soon as it reached 100% charge the charge power would drop so slow battery drain would start to happen while other scenarios reduced this battery charge drop rate and was slower in draining. heres another scenario when i plugged everything the display the charger and the usb external hard drive to the scan club 3d dock the hard drive wouldnt work at first then i realised my external hdd was formatted ntfs since it allows large file sizes for 4k movies. then i had to format the external hdd as exfat since ntfs is not recognised in android only fat 32 and exfat. fat 32 dosent allow file sizes above 4gb while exfat and nts do so exfat was the best option for formatting my external hdd since it was recognised by wndows and android. second problem factor i had was that not all secondary hubs would work. i first tried a usb 3.0 4 x port hub (not extrenally powered) and a cheap 4 x port usb 2.0 hub but they wouldnt work with my external usb 3.0 hdd the drive would appear in file explorer but wouldnt show its contents. so then i finally got a usb 2.0 hub with sd card and external power and 3 x usb 2.0 ports and that worked!!! so when connecting a secondary usb hub its most likely needs to be externally powered.
with the new usb type c 3.1 port comes lots of bugs that need to be hammered out on the software firmware level before its all totally plug and play. my htc and the scan club 3d hub didnt work too well at first but after a few htc u11 firmware updates things were alot smoother.

Hi there,
I ordered this one for Amazon "USB C Hub, Excelvan 5 in 1 USB Type C Hub HDMI 4K Transfer with 3 USB 3.0 Ports Power Delivery for new MacBook / MacBook Pro 2015/2016, Smartphoe, Tablet and other USB C Port Equipped Devices" (can't post link as I'm a new user)
I plug in but get nothing it lists support for the HTC 10 which I thought used the same standard.
My phone is on Oreo, can anyone verify HDMI out works for Oreo still?
Is there anything required to make it work other than plugging in? The USB ports work so thats a start. Also I wonder, the devices I'm plugging in only support 1080p so do I need to change the phone resolution first or should the phone do that automatically?
Thanks in advance!
I purchased another cable and it works! So Oreo isn't an issue.
For those interested the cable purchased was from Ebay UK, search for "Type C USB To HDMI HDTV Cable External Display Adapter for HTC U Ultra U11 10"
