Has anyone bought a Micro USB to HDMI cable for their HOX? If so is there anything I specifically need to look for or will any cable work?
I believe you need an MHL adapter.
Correct, MHL adapter.
I'm using the cheap one from Monoprice ( http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2 ) which works great for me.
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!

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.

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.

Anyone able to use HDMI with this phone?
Yes I have used HDMI on this phone with the usb-c to hdmi cable that came packed with the phone but I have also used it with my usb-c hub succesfully
It did however require external power to the usb-c to hdmi adapter in both cases
