hi to all,
i need to connect this phone by cable to TV. I'm looking for info about this kind of connection but i think to understood that the phone has usb-c 2.0 connector and using usb-c to hdmi cable doesnt works. It's right ?
Is there any way to connect this phone by cable without using devices like chromecast ? maybe an MHL adaptor ?
thanks !

it works, you need a 5pin mhl adapter. (the one for galaxy s2)
it's pointless tho, you will get stuck at 1080p30 on full hd tvs, making it choppy for playing anything other than 30 fps videos
I've used a generic USB-HDMI cable with the Relay and it works. The Relay does NOT use Mini or Micro HDMI. It outputs HDMI over USB. This is called MHL. You can read about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link
The cable requires power to work. You must plug your charger into a passthrough port on the cable. The cable appears to have some active circuitry to get HDMI from the 4 pins of USB.

Any advice of where tu buy in UK?
Proper seller from ebay or amazon or any internet shop (bad experience with MHL cable from china, it's working somehow but discharging phone and sometimes no voice).
I've seen some Samsung cables for 99 pounds which is mad, I would like to spend about 10 or so...
Thanks

the discharging is normal. apparently, it is very intensive for the phone, so much that it discharges while charging. as for the sound, dunno, may be a defective unit.
anyway, MHL 1.0 is crap. it's like the beta version of the thing. mhl 2.0 and slimport should work as intented, but right now only S4 and nexus 4 have them
I know the galaxy s4 does but on my nexus 5 it does not work...who else has tried it?
Only slimport works with the N5.

MHL cable doesn't work with the Nexus 5. You need a Slimport cable. When you plug in a Slimport cable, it works automatically (the display connected to the other end shows the same thing as the phone's screen), no app is needed.
The cables are not expensive, but get one which will power the phone also - HDMI display uses a lot of power, so this will prevent your battery from running down. I used the following cable from Newegg, Plugadget Micro USB HDMI Adapter SlimPort Micro USB 4K HDMI Audio Video Cable for Smartphone Tablets. It cost $14. However it took a long long time to get to me.
Hey guys,
I've been curious, if it's possible to use a slimport adapter and connect it to a display AND have something else connected via the additional charging USB Port.
Such as playing a movie right from a stick with the nexus 5 or a USB keyboard connected at the same time via USB Hub.
Or is there any other option to realise something like this?

This was the first thing I did when I got my adapter. The port is only for charging sadly...
If keyboard/mouse is all you need, you can always get a bluetooth one. If you need OTG for other stuff though, you'd have to use a wireless mirracast adapter instead of slimport.
Hi guys, a friend of mine have and old Samsung android based phone.
I was thinking about give it a better use as an android tv box/media player, but I have a few questions, main concerning USB OTG.
I could use a USB OTG Y cable, so I could charge the phone while using it, and still have the OTG... could I connect an USB hub to the OTG so I could use a USB mini keyboard and a mouse?.
My other problem is the micro usb port and the HDMI conection to the TV. I could use a cable to connect the phone to the TV but then I couldn't connect the USB OTG. It's possible to connect HDMI and still use USB OTG???

It's probably cheaper to just buy a chromecast.

I live on latin america. A chromecast is way more expensive than a bunch of cables.

Well... just so you know you can't have the phone charging and in OTG mode in the same time. Not even with adapters. This is because the current in USB can't flow in both directions in the same time (because there aren't enough dedicated wires)

Thank you.
Hi,
Does the normal oneplus 7 have USB-C 3.1 ports with HDMI output ?
I want to be able to connect this phone directly with hmdi to my TV.
There is different point of view on the internet.
Thanks for your answer,
