[Help] n5 not connecting to TV. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
My nexus 5 is not connecting with the TV via usb cable. Previously I had a phone and I use to play movies from that phone to the TV. What to do???

You need to buy a Slim Port adapter. It plugs into the HDMI port of your TV, not USB.
Edit: Or if you have a smart TV, screencast. In display settings.

Slimport? Will it work with 'LCD' cuz I don't have smart TV or HDTV??

What TV do you have? You need a HDMI on your TV

Yep it does have a HDMI port BTW its lg 42 inch

"lg 42 inch" hardly tells us anything lol..

If your TV is a 42' LCD with HDMI ports, I'm pretty sure it's a HDTV. Link to your television if you can find it? As long as there's a working HDMI connection, slimport should work.
Just pick one up from RadioShack or something. Keep the receipt. If it doesn't work just go back and tell them that and return it.

Well, I live in Pakistan and I can't find a slimport nearby me but yes I found a Mhl cable will it work?

No

MHL is for Samsung devices. Nexus uses a slimport to plug it on an HDTV and yes your TV is HDTV since it has an HDMI port

Allshare Dongle & HDMI Converter

Probably a bit of a stretch here but if anyone can help I'm sure it's the XDA community.
I have the AllShare Cast Dongle and it works fantastic. Use it with HDMI connection regularly, also use an HDMI to VGA Adapater. I purchased an HDMI to composite adaptor but can't get that to work.
http://www.amazon.com/Sanoxy-HDMI-C...qid=1350066401&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+composite
I've done some searching and have found people with AppleTV and have also used the adapter with my laptop, so I know it works. The problem though is that it seems the AllShare Cast Dongle doesn't turn on when it's plugged into this device.
I can get the tablet to connect momentarily but it always disconnects and the device turns off. Anyone used something with the AllShare Cast Dongle to convert the HDMI to composite? Could you share what it is?
Any suggestions on why this setup might not be working?
Can you please confirm the model number of your allshare cast dongle?

I couldn't get it to work with an HDMI to DVI converter cable.

HDMI to VGA works fine. OP states that and that the problem is using the dongle with an HDMI to composite adaptor.
What HDMI to VGA adapter are you using? I can't get mine to work, but it works fine if I plug the HDMI.directly into a TV.

when you use the allshare cast dongle the phone gets hot??? I need to know because i want one of this dongles, because when using the mhl adapter the phone gets hot.
I wonder if the dongle need to handshake with the TV HDMI port, if you are using a VGA adapter it wont be able to do this which is why you get a picture for a moment then lose it?. The allshare case Dongle isnt meant to be used that way so I'm not too surprised it doesn't work.

I've never experienced my tab getting hot from using the allshare cast dongle.
Might be getting hot because of the power drain through the wired connector, but the allshare cast dongle uses wireless connection. If your tab/phone doesn't get hot using wifi then it won't using dongle....

I think maybe you have got a fake hdmi converter. So i suggest you should buy a new high quality and original hdmi converter from this professional website: www.hdgenius.com

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.

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.

Micro USB to HDMI cable for Moto X Play?

Hi!
Does anyone know whether connecting our phone to a TV via Micro USB to HDMI cable would work?
If so, is there a cable you'd recommend?
I loved using my previous smartphone as a portable movie player and I'd love to do the same with my XT1562.

you could buy a micro usb mhl hub to hdmi which normally includes a few ports other than hdmi. I haven't tested it myself but the prospect of installing Kodi into the phone, plug the mhl hub, hdmi cable to the tv, plug a bluetooth mouse adapter to the mhl hub usb port then you get a small android tv player. the only problem would be charging the phone, I'm not sure if the mhl hub could charge it.
Tell you what, I have an old moto Atrix HD with dual port (mini hdmi and micro usb). Perhaps I should buy the mhl hub and see if it works.

AFAIK Moto have no MHL nor Slimport, so it's not able to send video through MicroUSB.
Depending on your TV you could use screencasting.
