[Q] Micro HDMI or Mini HDMI? What now?? - LG Optimus 2x

Hello,
what kind of HDMI does the LGOS have now?
I keep reading both of the versions. Sometimes I hear micro, sometimes mini. What's the deal? I need to buy a cable, and I don't really want to buy the wrong one.

Micro HDMI type D

Thanks a lot. I've never found a video or image that shows the socket itself, I would've been able to compare it to the Wikipedia picture

charging? where if the other 3 cable is plug on tv?
Dear Bongski55,
Thank you for this thread. I make many presentations through a projector, and the charging port is perfect!
Perfect! Just ordered one-now I don't have to hack together 2 cables to make one that charges and outputs video!

Hehehe...obviously with this cable alone you won't be able to charge at the same time connect to the tv.
You will have to use either an extender for the audio video cables or a USB extender.

The original question,the way I understood is "how to charge to tab at the same time connect to tv and watch movie or make presentation". I was assuming that there is no electrical outlet nearby to plug the charger and connect the usb cable.
As to how long or how short, the specs are all there in the dealextreme website.
I have no intention to defend this cable, My intention in posting this is to inform anybody interested that this is available for a cheap price and I am using it with no problems. If you are not interested to buy an 8 USD cable then you should instead buy the original Samsung AV cable here

Mine is not working
I bought the same cable
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/premiu...ble-for-samsung-p1000-black-144cm-cable-70973
In the other thread they say it is working.
I measured the cables and the pins and they are ok
I am using GT-P1000 Euro Tab, with Rotohammers Rom V2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360
2.2 Froyo.
I have to stock HDMI dock and it is working.
When I connect the cable to the tab, and the TV and select the AV input, on the TAB must select something?, I had read that it is automatically had the picture on the TV screen.
I had also measured the rca cables, and the pins on the 30 pin connector and the have contact each other.
Please state what ROM are you using
When I plug the usb to Samsung charger I see the charging icon on the notification bar but it had the X red sign, like when you connect the stock cable to the PC

As I have stated this cable is an imitation/duplicate so I obviously cannot answer for the manufacturer/designer of this cable. Notice that the Samsung cable does not have USB. Maybe this is an after thought? Also notice that the cable are a bit small size and may not last long.....
As to complaints about this cable not working,maybe you can send your cable back to dealextreme as they do have return policy. I cannot vouch for the return service as I have not tried and have not experienced any defect on the items I got from dealextreme.
As I said-"you get what you pay for"......peace to all!
yes....we always get what we paid
The picture is smaller, up and down some inches black bar, and left rihrt very small black space
In LCD tv I can put a mode like cinema 1 and I have no black borders.

Multi-functional 4 in 1 Connection Kit

Has anyone tried this accessory with the GN2? Looks pretty useful, just want to make sure it works without rooting.

I have one and it works great. I've only used it for transferring in photos from my digicam and some files from a few thumbdrives, but it's worked perfectly thus far.

I have one. No need to root as stock OTG support is fine, but will not read NTFS.
There are a couple issues I have with it used with Note2:
- it will not act as a dock... it will not charge your phone while it powers memory or USB devices.
- it cannot be used with a case, unless you also buy an extension cable... M/F micro USB
- mine feels a little weak, like it might break off in the micro USB port & is intermittent if moved.
It's easier & cheaper to use a OTG cable unless you need to power USB devices... then you could add a hub. If you use a smart dock, you get charging, 3x USB, audio, HDMI.
For the cost, it would have been nice to have it charge as stated for S2.

Bought it for use with my Galaxy Note and now use it for my Galaxy Note 2.
Works great (yeah, not with a case on unless you have an extension cable), have used it with SD cards, Keyboard, mouse (yup, puts a mouse pointer on your screen!), external hard drive (but you have to plug in power (usb or wall charger) for that), I have even plugged in my Creative USB headphones and they work great! Awesome device.
If I was to make it, I would put a little sturdier plug on it (see other post for "flimsy feel") and make it so it had a VERY short plug (like a 1/4 inch longer) so it could be used without popping the bottom out of my TPU case).
If someone has a link to a SHORT m-f micro usb extender, SHARE please !!
:good:

HDMI added, and the short extender you want.
Did anyone tried the version with the hdmi?If it works,it could be a good alternative to official smart dock (100$)
It seems that it doesn't charge the note, as per the reviews, when the usb host is used.
I want something that charges it, to use it in the car, sending video to my headrest screens FROM a USB thumb drive. So I'd need USB+HDMI out, plus charging. That would be great to have. But only playing videos from USB drive WHILE CHARGING it would be enough for me. Although there are dongles for the Note 2 that would allow HDMI+Charging, there is nothing AT ALL in the market that would allow USB HOST+Charging capabities. Not an Android phone, not a tablet (other than Toshiba/Acer with USB ports on the side).

I think MHL will not work because the 11 pin vs 5 pin connector we have like the Galaxy S3
Found this comment on amazon:
This thing is magic! All of these different ports in one simple accessory is brilliant! They don't claim that MHL on this unit works with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and sure enough MHL does not. Everything else does though. Having all of these ports on one small accessory makes the most of any compatible smart phone.

But if you also use a Micro USB 5 Pin To 11 Pin (4$ from ebay) I guess it would work

Maybe not, from the Amazon reviews:
cannot charge and use usb device at the same time.
plug in charger and usb device is disabled.
fails on nexus 7 and galaxy note.

Chances that it would work on the Note 2 are slim I fear.
Anyway I will probably get the older version with the card reader and usb port,it is more portable!

I would recommend an adapter I bought through monoprice. I don't think I can post links just yet but if you go to their site just search for item #7603.
I've tested and it works perfectly. My Nexus 10 is my new NES, SNES, N64, and PSone :laugh:

You just need a micro hdmi cable, nothing special ..

As far as I know it does. I tested it with Netflix, Emulators, Youtube videos, Android games, and internet browsing, and it mirrored everything pretty smoothly.
Oh and to watcher64, I guess it's just personal preference. I feel like a normal HDMI cable is much more accessible. There have been times when I wanted to connect to a TV at a friend's house and pretty much every TV these days has something which uses an HDMI cable. It's much easier to carry the adapter wit you and just swap wires than to carry a whole cable with you.

Well, it's from eBay.
To echo what has been said, I would definitely recommend a small HDMI to MicroHDMI adapter/dongle rather than getting a long MicroHDMI cable. HDMI cables are fairly ubiquitous and it is nice being able to use any cable available as long as you have the adapter with you.
I also recommend getting this rather than a straight adapter. The previously linked adapter will cause a little less strain on the port than this adapter because there would be less leverage.

Thanks for the recommendation.
I can echo what's been said before about ebay cables. I have one that works well with my XOOM and has been quite reliable (the official Motorola one I picked up off Amazon for 15 bucks or so) and a cheap one that is VERY flaky. It was okay the first few times, but after a few times in and out I think the solder connections inside got flaky. I've sold my XOOM to my mother (I'm very hesitant to sell my devices, but if they stay in the family I might get to see them again from time to time ) and I was going to give her the Motorola HDMI cable for her to use so I'm going to order one of those HDMI dongles right now and we'll see if it treats me well too.
I've been using an inexpensive cable from monoprice and it works great. I think I'm going to pick up one of those short mini-HDMI to HDMI dongles as I always seem to forget to bring the cable with me.

HDMI threw USB
Finally ordered a 1$ adapter (straight , no cable) and a micro usb to OTG wire !
I went with a 90 degree adapter from eBay, as the 90 OTG cable I have works so much better then a straight one ergonomically.
Just tried the adapter i picked up at monoprice and holy crap this thing is incredible on a 55 inch screen (UN55D7050). Played the Timescape clip and the results were jaw dropping. Also text was clear and crisp just like everything else. Love this tablet more everyday.

Checking the user comments on Amazon, only one port works at a time also the USB port cannot be used for charging. There are also issues if you have your tablet in a case. I could not find any comment about the upper limit for a memory card if there is one.
Upper limit would depend on device I'm guessing... I I'm using a 32gb class 10

The upper limit depends on the reader. There are plenty of "upto 16GB" SD card readers being sold. I would not buy any reader that I could not identify its upper limit.
It's also a mechanical nightmare. Any microUSB adapter like this is going to have to be built to grip the edge of the device, before I'll be interested. Otherwise, one accidental bump and bam, there goes your microUSB port!
It actually sits perfectly flush with the device... very sturdy... It does cover up the headphone jack though

You're right - zooming in on the female end, it does look like micro.
I guess it's a crapshoot whether the picture is correct, or the description is correct. Can't be both though!

Question Where can I buy originial xiaomi type C to 3.5 connector?

My type c to 3.5 connector broke, i want to buy a new one.. but I can't find the original xiaomi one on their website
Any USB C to 3.5mm will work with the phone mate. The only difference is whether you want to connect to DAC or not. All USB C to 3.5mm adapter works on the same principle.
