I've bought S21 thinking it will do [email protected] with HDR (10-bit) through a USB-C-to-HDMI cable to my 4K/HDR capable TV.
But it turns out it can't. It will do 4K, but only in SDR (8-bit).
I was able to do that with my iPad Mini, which I got rid of after upgrading my phone and trying to consolidate my devices.
Real bummer.
Is there another Android phone that is capable of doing [email protected] HDR through HDMI?

I am using USB-C to HDMI converter, but like I said I was only able to get 4K SDR and not HDR. Is there a specific product you are referring to?

if said projector has an HDMI input (and you have the above mentioned adapter), I don't see why not.

Yes I know if the projector has an HDMI input it will be like attaching to HD TV, but Iam asking about how to connect to a projector with VGA port
get a vga to hdmi converter
One point to Note: You do need to connect the charger for the HDMI to work which can be a bummer
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.

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).

Here is the solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32039367&postcount=8, awesome, I really enjoy it to present wireless.
Just recently I had the projector with VGA cable but discovered that the projector had the second, HDMI port, so I quickly connected the AllShare cast dongle to HDMI and the projected screen quality was even better.

If you play any fast paced game it will either lag or become blurry to give smoother playback, Im not too happy this thing costed me $100, fedels like it should have costed $40
I have a galaxy s2 hdmi adapter. Want to use it for the s4. Will this conversion adapter work
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-5...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item2578ce75f5
It should work. But better get the new one for S4. You get 60 fps. Very smooth...
can you select framerate playback with different adapter? or is it always 60? i would prefer to be able to change for different reasons.

The Galaxy S2 hdmi adapter will not work. I have it and is not compatible with the S3 nor the S4. The micro usb pins need to be slightly longer in order to work with the S3 and S4.
Correct, the S2 MHL adapter will not work. It is a 5-pin configuration, since the S3 Samsung have been using an 11-pin configuration.

This is why I do it, from about 19 minutes onward:
HDMI adapter for S3 it's compatible for S4 I use it.
Ignorant question probably, but what is the difference between this and the 40$ deal that samsung sells?

Only problem is with that is you get 30hz output.
I got a dock which works for the S3/Note2/S4 but the output is 30hz.
Model Nr : EDD-S20JWEGSTA
If you get the one from Samsung which is for the S4 is a MHL 2.0 cable which does output in 60hz and supports 3d is seems.
I just ordered that one as gaming/video doesn't work with 30hz way to laggy skips etc...

Just bought the official Samsung Multimedia Dock (EDD-S20EWE) and unfortunately it only outputs 720p 30fps and it is very sluggish .
Just noticed on Samsung's site there's another dock (EDD-S20JWEGSTA) and it says that it outputs 1080p (no info on fps).
Anyone knows the second dock works at 60fps ?
I also have the S4 MHL to HDMI adapter and it works at 1080p 60fps without issues, would really like to know if the dock works at 60fps 'cause I'll be using it to connect to a 1080p TV, keyboard, mouse and external HDD.
Thanks

I've just got 'EDD-S20EWEGSTD' and it outputs at 1080p @ 30hz. Don't know to check the the FPS though. The box is specifically branded for 'Note II' but still works with the S4. Manufacturer date on the box is 01/05/13.
Found a picture of the JWE box. They've renamed it to "Smart Dock for Galaxy Series" instead of "Multimedia Dock for Note II."

Still running at 30hz for me. According to this post

The newer JWE dock only outputs in 30hz as well.

Samsung really need to create an updated dock for the S4 which supports 1080p/60hz. This is why I still have not bought one.
Any updates on this? Has Samsung provided us with a dock that outputs 1080p/60fps?
And could also act as USB OTG at the same time?^
Any unofficial or Note III docks etc. that would work like this?
Hey, guys. So, my Dad has the Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime & would like to view movies and other content on his Samsung UHD HDTV. Knowing the phone doesn't have screen mirroring, and I have looked at a few options on the Play Store (pretty much all of them require a home wireless connection to work). He doesn't have Wi-Fi, so I've been trying to find a way he could connect the phone to the TV's HDMI input.
The problem is that a lot of the cables/adapters out there require a phone that's MHL certified, and as of yet I have been unable to determine whether this phone is certified for MHL. Has anyone here had any luck with using such hookups, and if so what is the connection medium & where was it purchased? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Trust me thats a lie. I bought one myself and then i looked up what devices are actually compatible on the official mhl site. I also got the same device. Your phone has to have a special chip that allows an mhl cable to send the display to a tv. For some reason they stopped putting these chips in phones years back.

I tried it with the usb-c to HDMI adaptor I have that works with my S8. Sadly it does not work the Pixel 3a. I don't think it's designed to ever have video out through the usb-c
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!
