I know the xfinity stream app blocks the use of the app if the phone or tablet is connected via MHL or Slimport adapter.
I was wondering if anyone found a way to get it to work?
Thanks in advanced for your replies.

Hi.
Has anyone found a way to use both usb at the same time? Was hoping to find a multimedia dock along the lines of the one launched for the note 2. Anyone got suggestions?
Kinda keen on connecting the note to a tv and plug in en external hd / usb pen etc.
Thanks in advance!

I wanted to try this also. I DONT think its possible ATM. If you trying to watch movies or look at pics from the external storage devices, best bet might be to connect the tablet to TV through allcast wireless or DLNA.
My TV doesn't have wireless but I have a Samsung blueray player. I have internet connection plugged into it. So I can connect my tablet to blueray/TV through dlna connection. Works fine like that for me.
+1 wanting this kind of dock. Would be great
Shouldn't be that hard, considering that most other samsung tab/ note products have multimedia docks.
Been hoping to find a solution to the issue for a while.

What model Blu-ray Disc™ Player are you using?????
Best buy USA has a refurbished Samsung Blu-ray Disc™ Player (BD-E5300) that has AllShare for $39.00 free shipping. I was thinking about getting one as a don't have a Blu-ray and I would love to be able to use the Allshare with my Note 10.1.
Thanks for the tip.
Btw can you play games via all share ? And does the dongel need external power ?
Been looking at different workarounds on the usb and hdmi , thus far nothing that's quick and easy.

Is there an adapter that will let me connect the Moto G to the HDTV via HDMI input?
(mirror whatever is on the Moto G's screen)
Yes. (AFAIK, after reading answers here on the forum)
DLNA or Miracast dongles works pretty well.

There is no Miracast and no MHL....so no adapter will work to HDMI port on TV.....?
DLNA yes....?
to any enabled device TV or dongle!!!!.....?

Is it possible to use the hdmi out and connect a usb peripheral? I have a bunch of lapdocks laying around and it would be cool to be able to use them with this phone with a couple adapters.
Lack of replies make me think this isnt possible.
Yes. With the right mhl adaptor it is entirely possible.
As far as controlling them with the lapdocks.... No. We dont have the software needed. You should still be able to display to them though.

I think the mouse and keyboard on the lapdock is just usb. So as long as i can get it all wired right I think it should work. Any idea what the right MHL adapter is?
I wouldn't risk it tbh. You would have to splice and dice. If i remember correctly, the laptops are made for a dual connection, ie. HDMI and USB at the same time. I'm not sure that this phone is capable of that, seeing as the USB and mhl have to go into the same place.
I think I remember seeing someone trying this before and it failed.
Just about and HDMI adapter on amazon should work. The one I got years ago cost me maybe $8 with shipping.

Expect the d802 doesn't use mhl it uses slimport.

Why is that relevant? This thread is in a Verizon HTC One M8 forum . . . And the M8 uses MHL.

sorry thought this was on the g2 q&a my bad
Using a Samsung micro USB - HDMI worked fine for me using the GPE rom. I was able to have my screen display on my TV with no issues. I was hoping to use this to stream FIOS Mobile to a Hotel TV. Unfortunately, when FIOS Mobile sees an HDMI connection, it won't stream
You do need to power this connection. If not, you'll get nothing. This is the cable I used...
So maybe my original post wasnt clear? I know we can get hdmi out of the usb port. What i wanted to know is if there is an adapter that allows you do hdmi out AND connect a usb mouse or keyboard at the same time. On the samsung s4 or s5 or one of them, there was a media dock that allowed this. Not sure if the hardware is here on the m8 to do something similar.
EDIT: This thing: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
I think samsung uses a proprietary 11pin mhl to do what im talking about. Pretty sure the m8 just has the normal mhl, 5 pin or whatever so this isnt possible. If anyone knows different let me know. I sure wish this phone had a dedicated micro hdmi port.
Has anybody had any experience with or have tried using an ethernet adaptor on the S6?
I got an S6 (not rooted....yet) and would like to use it to Telnet into some equipment via ethernet for work.

I don't think there was an OTG adapter included. Are you trying to use the Smart Switch adapter?

Yes I am it works with my ps3 controller so I assumed it was a otg adapter
I guess it could function as one. It never occured to me. I'll have to try it with my OBDII adapter.
