hi,
Can 6P output video over USB-C?
Can generic USB C-type cable to HDMI be used?
Any other specific for 6P adapter can be used for HDMI wired output?
No, I don't need / want chromecast or miracast or etc wi-fi streaming.
thanks.

For the Pixel chromebook.
The 6P supports WiFi Direct, so I would suggest you go that route if at all possible. You may need to get a Miracast dongle for your flat panel display of projector.

During the reddit AMA they said it would not output hdmi. I also didn't think about this when ordering (i have an appradio hu as well)

I think because it's still USB 2.0 that it can't output via HDMI. On another note don't waste your time with a miracast dongle. I'm pretty sure Google dropped support for that to exclusively use Chromecast. IMHO I feel it's leaps and bounds better than miracast anyway and you can still mirror your phone

HDMI works just fine over USB2, it's MHL or SlimPort that extracts video/audio from phone microUSB port. I don't know details how it works, but that I use for my S3 with MHL adapter to feed HDMI input.
The specs say specifically WiFi Direct, which is what Miracast uses as the transport, so Miracast should work. It works well with my Nexus 7, and the Nexus 4, 5 and 10 work as well. The Motorola Nexus 6 did not support WiFi Direct. If Chromecast supports mirroring to the USB port of a flat panel or projector to display the output of the phone or tablet screen for PowerPoint, AutoCAD, etc, then great. At least in the past, that was not the case.

thats... not how chromecast works. receiving device needs something (chromecast, roku, fire stick) that supports the chromecast protocol (cast method). from there, you can mirror (cast) your device screen or chrome tab.
as far as using a miracast dongle goes, i believe it's the same principle as chromecast. you won't get display through the USB port of your device. the dongle has to connect through some video throughput (usually HDMI). most (if not all) display-only devices do not have the capability to accept display through a USB port.
I don't understand why it doesn't support hdmi output. The s6 doesn't either. I don't want use chromecast because i use my unlimited data plan to stream movies. That's only thing i'm jelly of the iphone right now.

what does having UDP and steaming movies have to do with CC? are you saying you want to steam movies from your phone to your device? there are apps that do this, including ES File Manager. if you're traveling, you'll need two devices to set up the CC to use your hotspot, but short of that, CC should work great for your needs.
everyone has different use case
for me I need that phone output video over HDMI input of my car radio (Appradio)
and I'd like to have it over cable
in my case streaming over wi-fi comes with annoying latency - that's delay between car touchscreen action and video display as reaction
for me it isn't about movie streaming, but GPS and other car related apps

This.
I thought I could live without root and ARUnchained so that Android Pay would work easily, and just get by with screen mirroring without touch interface on the head unit. Since Marshmallow, I haven't rooted and I've just been mirroring my N5 through SlimPort. I don't know that I can get by like this after being so used to full interface. And I imagine that the lag on Chromecast would be highly annoying. I'm quite disappointed there is no HDMI output on 6P, but I'm getting it anyway.

Oops, you are right. I said USB, but meant HDMI. For my Actiontec dongle, you use the USB port to power it, but the HDMI port for the video / audio.
I'll be honest... I see almost no lag Casting my N5 screen of a 1080p Youtube clip to Chromecast 2.
It actually surprised the hell out of me that the quality of the cast was much better than choosing the same video through the YouTube app for Chromecast

I use the 6P via miracast to my AppRadio and the lag is non existant. The Nexus 5 struggled a bit but the 6P doesn't. This is using a Microsoft Wireless adapter.
Assuming you have supported the ARU developer, then join the Alpha group and he has a version that automates the connection process for Miracast / Chromecast. I have also posted in the ARUR thread how to get the screen to dim down to nothing.

Mainly because TV technology has moved on and the technology to stream is in most of those now. Very few phones will support MHL or Slimport going forwards, if any at all within a year.
I would not have bought the Nexus 6P if I'd known that it did not support HDMI out. No doubt about it.

So I get this right, the HDMI adapter needs to be powered externally for it to work?

I haven't tried it but maybe a pricey but elegant solution could be using the Samsung AllShare Cast Wireless Hub (info is here).
No cables at all!
To use a VGA projector you'd again need an HDMI to VGA connector. But this time it would be attached to the hub, that is powered by itself by its cable.
This answer my original ancient question: "Is it possible to send the display signal to a projector through wifi?". And the answer is (apparently): "YES!"
I've seen a video where the hub was used to send to a TV set the images of a race game, while playing with it. No evident lag at all.
I wonder if there could be a similar device made by some third party (-> less expensive).

Anyone know of a top rated dongle to use for miracasting? I have a Sony tv, but it doesn't have mirascasting capabilities.
which series TV do you have the new W8 and W9 comes with screen mirroring built in.
The top rated "cheapest" dongle is by a company called Measy. check it on Amazon. See it in action here.

I use a Roku Stick HDMI that I got free for beta testing. It works well as miracasting/mirroring dongle for my LG Smart TV, which ironically does not have built in Miracast support. The Roku Stick HDMI is I think $35 now, comes with remote and you can even use the Android app as a remote.
Most importantly the Roku supports the 5Ghz band as well which is important as I live in a 2.4Ghz congested neighborhood. Also microwaves and bluetooth can interfere with 2.4Ghz as well. Its well worth the money.

One last question about chromecast. I have seen where it can mirror apps and webpages, but what about videos saved on the phone itself, like downloaded movies and home movies/videos taken from the Z3 itself? Target has Chromecast for $22, heading out there after work to pick one up, IF IT CAN MIRROR/SCREEN Z3 personal videos.
Need help with chromecast
So I picked up Chromecast for $22 at Target today. It appears to work, with the exceptin that the screen on my phone is required to stay on. Is there a setting I am missing that allows my phone screen to be turned off, but still watch a video?
Nope. With Root/bootloader unlocking maybe.
I love the Chromecast, but no 5Ghz WiFi, which is bad, I get dropouts from interference from neighbors and espescially my microwave occasionally.
I personally dont have internet at home so I utilize the Belkin Miracast Adapter. Chromecast doesn't seem to work without a wireless router in the home.
Its a little bit pricey but it performs the best in terms of latency and doesn't require a wireless router to perform; all it needs is your phone and your TV. This adapter also has 5ghz support and works well with my Z3.
I had the Roku Streaming stick before I purchased this adapter and the Miracast option is available but it is very laggy and glitchy for me. Most likely since it is still in beta.
Hope this helps
I was a Roku Beta tester recently, its much better now. In Miracast there is always a minor lag though.
Fix to mirrorcasting w/ chromecast
So, I was able to fix the issue with my screen remaining on while mirrorcasting. I was irritated at the beginning because when I used showbox on my phone, the screen would remain on while casting to Chromecast. Also, when casting, you can't use your phone, due to casting.
Here's the fix and work around. Some may have already known this.. I downloaded an app called localcast (allcast works just the same). localcast acts like a server on your phone, so there is no mirroring (and you can turn your screen off and it still runs like a normal app), thus once the video starts, you are free to use your phone like you normally do. I also noticed the skipping of the video was eliminated when I stopped mirrorcasting and started using localcast!
Does the Moto X support HDMI out? I tried the MHL adapter (supported by Samsung) and it does not plug in the micro-USB port. I know I can go the chromecast route, but just curious if there is HDMI out capability? And what adapter has worked for others?
Thanks!
It doesn't appear to support MHL. I connected my adapter with and without using the power port on the side to my MXP and no video comes out.
The adapter does produce video with my S3.

I have a Samsung 55 LED that I got about a year ago. I go into the Cast->More Settings, Select my TV, once connected, then tab for Wireless display. I don't have HSI at home, so no Router in between.
This allows me to mirror anything from NetFlix, Sports streaming, Hulu, etc on the big screen.

Try Toreto HDMI
Hello Pratik,
Have you tried Toreto's stark & dual splitter HDMI cable? I hope it will help you
hello xda developers!
I recently found on ebay a micro-USB to USB OTG , HDMI , SD card and i want to use it with my galaxy tab s 8.4 as a media center (mainly kodi)
I have few questions that i hope you can answer me:
what type of cable do i need (compatible to which phone)?
does it charge the tablet or i have to use it with the hub while it is discharging?
Does the Ebay MHL to hdmi from china give out good fps , image quality and respond time (screencast i too slow)
doest it send sound through cable?
Thanks for the help
You need MHL 3rd generation compatible. This generation also charge tablet. With MHL cable you get higher FPS, image quality same as on tablet.
this is the kind of mhl cable that i use.
https://www.amazon.com/Aibocn-Unive...MHL-enabled/dp/B00V7UEE8Q/ref=dp_ob_title_wld
Dont get a MHL. Invest in a chrome cast its better and the quality is HD. Get the all cast app too as you can cast anything but the google home app lets you mirror your phone to tv.

I can agree with this. I always used to have an MHL cable. And I also have one for this tablet. But with less and less tablets supporting MHL. Not many custom roms supporting MHL, it's way better to invest in a Chromecast. It's more furute proof. A chromecast is smaller (less cable). With a chromecast you can put your phone/tablet anywhere in the room, no restictions of cable lenghts. Etc.
That being said, I still need to get my own chromecast. It's going to be one of the first things I'm going to buy.

It will cast to a tv or Chrome cast but I cannot get it to even recognize a Fire Stick. I'm sure it's because of it being made by Amazon

You are correct. Google stopped this ability (usb X to hdmi) on their devices years ago. Are you attempting to connect Fire directly to the 3a? You would have the same problem. While Chromecast is made to operate from your device, Fire is not. Anything Fire supplies is available through the Amazon app so no need to connect Fire to device. 3a does connect to roku. You can also use the Fire remote app or roku remote app on your device. Both are really effective.
FWIW, there is a thread on this already.

Everyone was saying that it wasn't possible, but I finally figured out how to do it on my Pixel 3a XL! I uploaded a YouTube video so that people could see it actually is possible. Just search YouTube for the video title, "Pixel 3 to HDMI Video Output (using a WIRED adapter)" Basically you need to use a DisplayLink certified USB video adapter. I recommend that you get a newer adapter than the one I used because the frame rate dropped pretty bad at full screen and it put out really choppy/laggy video. I also tested it out on a USB-C powered DisplayLink certified monitor with the newer DisplayLink graphics chipset and the video was real smooth at full screen playback and while gaming.
Oh and you will also have to install the "DisplayLink Presenter" app/driver on your Pixel 2/3/4 phone from the Google Play Store.
Hope this helps!
