Figured I'd ask because I can't find much on it. Does the M8 have slimport support? I have a Slimport HDMI adapter I used to use with my G2, worked fine. Doesn't work with the M8. If it doesn't work its not a big deal, I just wanted to ask and see if I'm being stupid or if it just doesn't work.

Does anyone know if a Samsung MHL Adaptor will work on the Nexus S 4G?????????????
No it won't work.
So I'm bumping this for hope. Is it just not possible 100%? I looked into it a bit, can we modify something here. Would sure be great
Hello,
So I know there has been couple threads in regards to MHL's before but none answered my question...
I went ahead and bought a MHL connector yesterday, tried hooking it in to my flatscreen with new HDMI cable I also bought at the same time, all from frys electronics. I had seen pictures of that MHL connector on multiple post stating it works so I sure figured it would for me. But for some reason I was unable to get mine to work.
I have tried
rebooting the phone (with and without mhl plugged in)
giving the phone a full charge before trying it.
plugging power output to laptop or wall (laptop is closer than wall but either way none worked)
but at no time did I get a response from my phone or tv other than it charging my phone? I am understanding that when I plug it in to the MHL I should have a new icon popping up on the top of my screen but it's not
I am currently running zydroid latest rom 2.0 (great rom by the way)
Is anyone else having such issue or can anyone assist me in this regard. Or even better yet, anyone with zydroid rom able to assist me?
Thanks a bunch
I'm on stock but I have one that is made by Samsung? I've heard of knock off ones not working with phones but I guess that's people's own experience....And with my mhl converter to hdmi it has to have my phone charger connected directly to the converter while the other end of mhl converter connects to my phone. It's a mess of cords but it works....I've tried others and this is the best one that works with my galaxy s2 and sensation. I bought mine on amazon for like 13 bucks.....try searching Samsung mhl to hdmi ....hope u figure it out.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
I figured it out... turned out to be the MHL was defective, Thanks bud
HTC One S MHL Connection
I have the OEM HTC Sensation MHL adapter and it works perfectly on the HTC ONE S.
You can also buy the MHL adapter from monoprice.com which works and offers 7.2 audio.
Does anyone have an idea whether its possible to use MHL + OTG with charging on the Skyrocket? Whether it be stock or an aftermarket rom/kernel doesn't matter. I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this phone, but I'm leaning toward not possible.
This is what I planned on ordering. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LAZG2M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would assume since the MHL adapter puts the device in charge mode, it wouldn't read the attached usb device (if using a hub or y adapter) since it is not in Host mode. Any have any experiance with this or have any links they can provide. It would be much appreciated!

I have the same cable and mhl works as long add the rom supports it. As for your question I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741583&page=21 and on the last page there is a link for someone who got it to work on as3 however our phones have different pin configuration but you should be able to do the same thing as him
OTG while using MHL sounds like a great way to fry something important on your phone. it's clear the note 2 had something like this in mind with the smart dock. it looks like the smart dock works with the S3 so it could be that the way they designed the usb port it all just works as needed for this.
I'm interested in the usecase/motivation for doing both at the same time if you don't mind sharing.

Well my Skyrocket screen was destroyed by my youngest son So, I had an idea to use the old phone with the MHL adapter to connect to my TV (which is not a smart TV). The need for the OTG is to plug in peripherals such as kb/mouse, but after further review, i could probably just use bluetooth. The device itself doesn't need to have much storage really, all of the movies are being streamed from my mini home server (DLNA).
So instead of going out and spending 60 on a smart TV adapater, I figured I would try to make use of what I already had, a phone with a broken screen. I'm not even sure the digitizer works and I was unable to find a replacement screen a decent price. The phone has already been replaced with a Nexus 4, so I'm not really concerned with the "safety" of the skyrocket.
I think it would be nice to use it as a TV adapter, surf net, play games watch movies while in bed using a wireless mouse/keyboard.
You would think there would already be something like this out there...
I came across this, then noticed their statement "Use Bluetooth keyboard for wireless control" Which really tells me no OTG... and heard was broken ha.

Hello guys like the title says does this phone have MHL support? I have a appradio with ARU Reloaded app that gives full mirroring and and control in your car and a android phone right now I have a not activated razr hd hooked up to and today I was like why not hook up the s6! since we have root! Cause yes you need root for this app to work well no dice! Did do some googleing and rumor has it no mhl support.
Question:
1.Is this true?
2. Noticed the new 3.0 MHL adapters with 4k support maybe you just need this adapter?
So before spending the 40 bucks on a 3.0 mhl adapter looking for some input did anyone try a 3.0 adapater or was anyone able to get this to work?
Man wish there was a way to make a flashable zip through flashfire with drivers to get this to work.
Hello guys! I'm willing to buy micro hdmi to hdmi cable, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-High-Speed-Micro-HDMI-HDMI-Cable/dp/B003UH0Z9Q
Has anyone tested this kind of cable yet on Blupure XL or Allview X2 Xtreme ? Would it work ? I want to use this cable on non smart lcd tv's. If anyone tested this and works, let me know please.
Thanks! :good:
I've never tried but this could be interesting if it works

No it will not work.. Pure XL does not have a micro HDMI port, so no where to hook it into-
"High-speed Micro HDMI to HDMI cable, A to D type; please note, this is not an MHL cable"
this cable does NOT have usb > HDMI functionality...
you need a MHL cable for that
try something like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=8675
(theres numerous ones on amazon, but they all have specific phones listed, mainly samsungs, but MHL is a standard that a lot of phones use...)
I have a similar one that I couldn't get it to work or even recognized on the PURE, but my HTC One m7 sees it but doesnt consistently work (it recognizes then doesn't.. bouncing between the two)
let me know how it works out
Well that seems obvious finally... I didn't saw that it was a micro HDMI and not a micro USB...

Awesome, thanks for advice. I'll try this very soon. MHL should work because i've searched a few tutorials on YT and every cable is MHL, didn't notice that before. Thanks a lot.
just to reiteriate; mine doenst work on my pure, and isnt recognized by it
I don't believe the phone is MhL capable either.
As far as I'm aware its only options are wireless casting.

Wireless Casting has a lot of delay, it's no good for gaming.
Is there another way to do this without delay?

No, if it's the only option it works that way. The phone doesn't have any other outputs that I'm aware of.
