I bought the cable below and it works pretty well, though the phones battery still drains faster than the cable will charge. Even with the OEM 2A charger. What you should be looking for is an 11 pin MHL cable or adapter (other phones use what I believe is a 5 pin cable). The nice thing about the one I bought is that it includes an adapter for the S4 but it will work with any MHL compatible device.

You are correct. 11 pin MHL connectors will work with the S4, which also means the Note 2, S3, and a few others will be compatible with the S4. However the S2 is a 5 pin connector and will not work.

I was looking for one too. Thanks!

Thanks for the link

Did you check the adapter? What about the video quality?

This one does not work...

I had actually gotten this one and was wondering why it was not working, I thought it might just be rom. Was trying to find more info. I guess it might just be the cable, dam.
Anyone have experience with an HDMI Adapter working with Cyanogenmod?

[Q] mhl hdmi - otg adapter : using both at the same time

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-MHL-OTG...t-for-Galaxy-S3-S4-S5-i9600-BK-/121338519505?
this adapter claims to be able to do hdmi output as well as OTG at the same time.... anyone have experienced with such adapters? do they really work?

Funny, I actually have. I work in a computer repair/data recovery shop and we have a phone in with a broken screen/lcd. Long story short is that the device did not work with the phone we got it for, nor my phone (Galaxy S5), and I know my MHL works on my phone but we needed KB/Mouse support as well.
It may have been a bunk device and we haven't requested a replacement yet, so If you try it out let me know if yours works, and when we get our replacement i'll let you know.

actually the seller replied to me and says that this cannot do hdmi and otg at the same time but apparently this dock does : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=ite...obalID=EBAY-US&ssPageName=ADME:X:ACME:US:1123
but this dock is not compatible with galaxy s5 ... i wonder why

did you get a replacement? does it work with hdmi and usb host at the same time?

i received and used the same one adapter
yes it can do both at the same time
although i am not satisfied with the image quality of the hdmi output

...which one

Unfortunately I don't think so, I used this:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Lindy-73391-...6?pt=DE_Computer_Sonstige&hash=item462bc81bb0
with a s4, and it worked prperly, but when connected to s5 it doesn't even turns on. I think it is because s5 doesn't have a docking mode, in fact if you go in Settings-->accessories, there is only an option for sound on hdmi, while in s4 there were more (and one was for the docking mode)

I couldn't find anything that worked reliably and consistently. So I use the MHL for HDMI output and use a Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse...

This is a good solution, but I'm wondering why, since 11 pin connectors usually can handle hdmi and usb otg on the same time, why old dock stations for 11 pin device don't work?

using micro 3.0 for MHL and OTG
i have a SM-G900P and if i make a OTG and MLH cable through usb 3.0 do you think i could charge and use HDMI and 2 usb for keyboard and mouse. My goal is to make my phone like a mini computer on the go for my roms and movies

Possibly use the USB 3.0 Micro-b connection?
All my googling on this matter with the S5 seems to lead to one inevitable conclusion, the S5 won't allow for simultaneous MHL and OTG use, because the S5 uses the 5pin connector and not the 11pin connector (as the S4 seemed to). What I don't understand is, isn't the S5 using USB 3.0 instead of the USB 2.0 as on the S4? How could the S5 allow for faster data transfer rates and yet not be able to transfer more types of data at once?
Isn't there a way to utilize the entire USB 3.0 micro-b format (which apparently has 10 pins, 5 for backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 (except 5pin, and not 11pin), and 5 extra for USB 3.0 speeds) to use MHL and OTG and charging simultaneously?

I'm having an issue with MHL adapter on my S5, When I connect my MHL adapter to my S5, the audio on my TV seems delayed, but when I tried it on my S3, the audio is perfectly fine. Is this something to do with S5 having 5 pin only wherein S3 having 11pin?
I saw a 5 pin to 11 pin converter on Amazon, will this solve this issue? And possibly the issue of not being able to use MHL/HDMI and USB at the same time?

buy chrome cast you can screen mirror or use almost any app directly to the tv when it comes to videos and such theres a little allshare
button at the top of like the video player, you tube etc.
also a smart tv does the same thing only better (all the above scenarios will only work with a connected network)

what is wrong with the image quality?

Chromecast works for me at home or anywhere it has standard wifi, but is too painful in most hotels that use a web user login. Without net access it was almost useless last time I tried. I could pair with it, but it wouldn't stream local files from my device. Most places I've stayed in the last few years have an active HDMI port on their tv, so the MHL HDMI and OTG with USB wireless mouse on an S3 worked for me, even though I couldn't charge at the same time. Haven't been able to make that work so far with anything I've tried on the S5.

Still no luck with S5 docking (MHL+OTG)
Hello!
I've been using this adapter for a while with a Samsung Galaxy S4:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MHL-...or-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note/32461052976.html
Charging, HDMI connection and USB keyboard + mouse works very nice.
Unfortunately no luck with S5. Not even charging works. I read S5 doesn't use 11-pin USB (because of the USB 3.0 plug, etc...). If that's true, then not even installing a custom ROM would make the docking work.
According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57336973&postcount=4, "the G800F is capable of USB OTG. It simply is not enabled in the stock firmware." I know this is about a S5 Mini, but wouldn't it be the same for the S5?

USB-C to HDMI Adapter

Hey all.
Anyone know whether USB to HDMI is possible with the Honor 8? If so, any recommendations?

Honestly, good luck finding a phone that supports either HDMI-AltMode or DisplayPort-AltMode. I don't believe there's a single non-Windows Phone 10 device that does.
Sorry to crush your dreams. I'm still waiting on Google to enable it on the Pixel C, like they claimed they would ages ago.

I mean, I was able to output to HDMI using a slim-port adapter with my Nexus 5; I used to use it all the time with my mini projector while traveling.
It doesn't seem that improbable.

MHL is very different than Type-C AltModes
I have yet to see a phone (outside of Continuum enabled devices) with support for altmodes, and Type-C doesn't have MHL support.

Lg G5 has this feature. I guess it's the only Android smartphone with the usb type C-Hdmi enabled.

Yeah, even though the port is usbC shaped, it's still a micro usb controller.
As far as I know the Pixel is the only phone with an actual USB-C and 3.0 supported port, but there may be others.

HTC 10 support display-port interface over it's usb-c port.

mhl/tvout/hdmi

As in topic, does asus zenfone 6 have ability to stream out video through usb to hdmi adapter?
After some time android q will come to this device and it will contain native desktop mode so i would like to use it.

I'd like to know the answer as well.
Is it USB 3+ that can do video over type C?
For example One+ 6 has only USB 2.0 over type C, and doesn't support video, while Samsung has USB 3.1 over type C as expected that supports video over type C.
Sure simple type C to HDMI adapter will be needed.
I wasn't able to find any specs for Zen6 type C at all.
any one knows?

According to GSMarena it's 2.0.
I looked at the USB diagrams and it appears that alternate modes over USB-C use the same pins as SuperSpeed meaning that you can't have alternate mode without the other (but not vice versa).
Unless I'm missing something, there shouldn't be any display mode. However I'm not sure if the GSMarena data sheet is accurate.

I currently have sony xperia z3 compact which has usb 2.0 (micro usb, but this doesn't make change IIRC) and also support mhl (see gsmarena https://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z3_compact-6538.php). In my opinion it doesn't depend on version of usb which device is equiped with, at least it 's not the main reason for not supporting mhl. The question is, does mhl work on zenfone 6 with (potentially, because i couldn't find any information on asus website) usb 2.0 type c connector?

Display output via microusb worked differently as the regular port does not have the pins or bandwidth for it. I had an LG G2 which could also output a display signal. I think it's possible to do the same via USB-C but at the same time I think it's simpler to use alternate mode hence the conclusion I came up with. If I have the time I'll go digging around some more later.

I opened a ticket with ASUS support and they state none of the models they currently sell (including Zenfone 6) cand output HDMI over usb-C.
they might be stupid though, because ROG phone does.

I looked at a few things and I think I was correct in my first post. While I think it would be technically possible to implement MHL on USB-C like they did on MicroB (it would just piggyback off the necessary pins like it used to do), it doesn't seem like it would make sense to do that and I can't find an adapter/cable that would work in that scenario so you'd need 3.1 because they all require Alternate Mode support. However Alternate Mode is an optional spec so just because a device supports 3.1 doesn't mean it'll support display functionality.
I should also note that the ROG Phone has USB-C 3.1 according to GSMArena.
Another note is that it appears that MHL officially lists MHL as working on USB-C via Alternate Mode.

Meanwhile ASUS launching an external display that is advertised to support input from a mobile phone, but hey, no their latest flagship. they are so dumb they are launching devices that don't their other devices..
why would anyone cheap on using usb2.0 connector, when internally SD855 supports 3.1 and so does UFS2.1, is beyond me. It must save la 0.something to use 2.0 instead of 3.1

No native HDMI output for my device using usb-c to hdmi cable.
However I think the Asus portable monitor thingy they announced at computex actually supports data over usb to transfer the image.. but I am not sure at all.

The OnePlus 6 does support HDMI out with a DisplayLink adapter. It's not great though, as you can't charge it at the same time and it runs the battery down incredibly fast, less than two hours.

Thanks for confirming it, it's a real downer situation though, I was really expecting to have the possibility to output videos through HDMI and potentially do the same with emulators + bluetooth joysticks (since it can handle even gamecube/wii games thanks to the SD855)

IIRC video output via Displaylink adapter works on every device if it can install displaylink app. Displaylink support doesn't depend on mhl support on specific device. I'm just to clarifying for internet strangers.

I'm right there with you buddy. I was so used to MHL that I never questioned whether newer phones would support it or the type-c equivalent. Trying to find a SD855 phone that charges while outputting video is hard enough, let alone one that's rootable with a headphone jack and a non-curved screen (my preference). I'm beginning to think we're going to have to wait until the holiday season when the ROG Phone 2 comes out. In the meantime I'm half-satisfied by using my tablet (shield) hooked to a monitor and keeping my emulator folders synced with my phone with Dropbox/SyncThing.

Nubia red magic 3 is your best best. It doesn't support HDMI output yet but apparently they've said they may support it in a software update. It has USB c 3.1. Also 90hz screen, headphone jack, 5000ma battery, SD 855, it even has a CPU fan lol. It's newly out but I think you can install twrp and root it but customs ROMs might be few if any. It's the closest phone I've found to meeting my needs of 3.5mm, SD 855 and HDMI. Only thing it's missing is expandable really.

Hi, any news? Has anyone bought a displaylink product and used it working with the Zenphone 6?

Oppo Find X2 USB-C to HDMI out. Does it work?

I got a USB-C hub adapter that has USB 3, SD card readers and HDMI out, but it doesn't seem to work.
No video out.
Are there any settings I need to change to make it work? Any OTG settings or something?
This is the adapter I have.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000544358433.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1cf54c4dwgapcH
The first one on the left.

Nope, it seems it was either disabled in the kernel or the pins weren't configured to enable DP Alt Mode.

I have usb c with my dell monitor and I can confirm it works fine. It screen mirrors it.
Even the hdr works from plex, emby etc.
My Samsung tab s6 has it disabled, so annoying.

2 conflicting answers, I guess your best bet @samusx is to buy it & try it yourself, good luck!

No issues here
It works for me as well. I connected my Oppo Find X2 with a USB-C hub and then with a regular hdmi cable to a cheap beamer and it worked fine.
Good luck!
[edit] I have a Hyperdrive USB-C connector [/edit]

Works fine here.

i have one. it's work on Android10. but no work on Android11.

I got a USB-c hub including an HDMI out, and it does work.
My X2 Pro is currently on Android 10.
When the update comes out eventually for my phone and I update, I hope it still works.

Hi everyone!
Please, Android 11 is it possible the HDMI output? Oppo find x2

Works on android 11, this is how I play cod mobile using xbox controller. Maybe not all USB standards are the same. Like not all USB-C to 3.5mm jack are the same. Make sure you try more adapters/dongles.
