Sent from my LG-P880

I've tried Samsung and HTC cable but the quality is not top notch. The television says the signal is 720p but it looks kind of blurry... anyone have any information on the video quality outputted from the phone?

Search on google for: 3m 10 Ft MHL Micro USB HDMI 1080P 3D Cable fr Samsung Galaxy i9100 HTC Sensation
This one works over here.

I tryed my old MHL cable adaptor (bought some months ago for my old SGS2) and the video quality it's great but no digital audio from device. :'(
Some other people tryed other adaptor?

Samsung works great
I bought the one from Samsung original, amazing 1080p quality, best I ever saw on my 40 inch television.
It's the one that samsung offers for S2 and S3 and it works really perfect, no lag, no glitches and it gives amazing high quality.

But Samsung has different cables for S2 and S3... I have MHL adaptor for S2 and it works perfectly with P880. With sound of course...

Is there a way to wirelessly mirror content? I think the SGS3 can do this with a special apparatus or something.

I retried it and great video and audio. Sorry. But only in 720P. My TV it's HD-Ready and not FULL-HD.
My MHL adapter it's a simple model compatible with GS2 and I bought on eBay one year ago. I payed it only 10 euros.

I can see some of you having success in display it on the TV
but I have try two different MHL adapter (I dont know if it is for S2 or S3 but I can;t seem to get it work on a computer monitor with HDMI
are there any sitting I need to change or apps that I need to install???

Maybe some settings in the hidden menu will do the trick for those where it doesn't work (not tested, since I don't own a MHL-Adapter)
Type: 3845#*880# in the phone app and the hidden menu will open. Scroll to the end and choose "HDMI Resolution Test"
There are some Settings, maybe something will make the Adapter work

will try

Hey,
I am occurring the same problem, and its annoying, but credit to Hidden92 in the "resolution" menu under "HDMI Resolution Test" , i have changed resolution to any of them and only once the email on my Samsung TV appeared.
Also i have noticed that the settings that i am selecting doesnt saved and each time i am getting into "HDMI Resolution Test" menu , the settings rolled back to default.
Well...
Anyway , you should try to do this , the less it will work for you
=====EDIT======
I have managed to Play movies using MHL cable.
it has been some connector problem, i have moved the cable abit left to right and it begin to work.

Hey MrWunderbaum,
I own 4X and using Generic MHL cable 1080p that was bough for 15$.
Everything works fine.
You should try.
In Addition, LG owns their own MHL cables , but they are abit more expensive.

I tried and mhl 3M cable that is supposed to charge the cell phone while you project, but the problem is that it must be connected to energy to work. the cable is supposed to be designed for samsung SIII and SII

Sorry for hijacking this thread a little bit and pardon my rant.
Not too long ago i bought a mini HDMI to HDMI cable for my Optimus 3D. But now im using 4X, I can't help but feel i've been f**king trolled by LG somewhat cause that cable i had is now utterly useless. Instead they are using this MHL cable.
i mean, why can't they put a mini HDMI port for the good of saving the planet and our wallets like what they are doing for microUSB?
I've got few questions in mind. Are they going to introduce another cable for their next line-up? Is this MHL port here to stay? Nobody wants to spend 30 bucks buying a cable and to have it put out of the picture by the time he change phone next year.

MHL will stay I guess. Mini-HDMI is actually quite useless, it is necessary to add an additional port to the phone for something that can be done using the already existing one (less places where dust can get into the device). The only problem is the high price for MHL cables (The mini-HDMI adapter for my O2X was about 3€).

Cheap and good
I use this: http://goo.gl/13LEr
Play 1080p and Netflix for HD TV very well.

I have ordered myself S2 mhl adapter that also has seperate charging port. I dont need long wire as i already have long hdmi cable connected to tv, so i just needed smaller adapter to connect to tv hdmi cable. Hope it works - mhl + charging
Check out the 1 i ordered (already shipped ) :

[INFO] HDMI adapter

Anyone have any luck with HDMI adapters to hook up to tv's for the S4? Which ones? I'd rather not get the official adapter if possible but I bought a cheap $11 one from newegg thinking I'd save $30 or so and it didn't work out too well.
So I'm curious to hear what works for others and where you got them.
I'd like to start a list of sorts in this thread to maybe help others out when looking for an adapter.
Info on type, price and where it can be purchased would be great.
Thanks

You may need this http://goo.gl/tOcYq to make the non samsung mhl adapters work. Samsung uses a 11 pin micro usb plug instead of the standard 5 pin.

My son's SIII adaptor works great with mine.

Yeah S III/Note 2 MHL to HDMI cable works

Maybe the one I originally bought was a dud.

This one works.

It can be used plugged with or without being plugged into power source (MHL2.0 spec perhaps?).

I think it was Samsung's site that some of the reviews were less than favorable for the adapter.

I used my Galaxy S2 hdmi/mhl adapter and added a 5 to 11 pin adapter for $3 from monoprice (the same website as in post #2).

MHL HDMI adapter doesn't charge

Hi there,
So I bought a generic MHL adapter from ebay so I could hook up my phone to my TV through HDMI but the adapter does not charge while being used therefore it drains battery. It does charge BEFORE I hook up the hdmi to the TV, but as soon as it's connected, it stops charging. I know buying a cheap one from ebay is probably the reason in the first place, but if anyone knows a good brand of MHL adapter, feel free to share here so I can buy one that charges while I watch it on TV. FYI, I can't get media link from HTC because I have no wifi internet at home and its required, so I can only use MHL HDMI cable. Thanks for your help, let me know if there are any good brands and if you could post a link that would be great.

Did your MHL cable work for the M8?

I have a cheap one I got for my Samsung s3, and it has an adapter that goes between the phone and the cable and if I don't use that adapter it works fine. I think the Samsung interface has a switched wire that's why it needs it. So not all cables are the same but if the universal one had a removable adapter it will probably work.

How did you guys got it to work? I bought two different MHL 5pin adapters and none worked. The MHL symbol does appear on the phone but there is no image on the TV. I dont undestand and I am getting desperate, does someone has any tips?
Cheers

A "cheap" MHL cable will probably be MHL 1.0, which won't support 1080p (1080i @ 30Hz max rather than the 1080p @ 60Hz that MHL 2.0 supports)
Most MHL cables are also designed for use with recent Samsung devices, which use a proprietary MHL implementation, which is NOT compatible with non-Samsung devices.
The MHL "standard" is almost totally useless, mostly thanks to Samsung creating this confusion, plus the fact that almost no-one ever categorically states what version of the format (1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0) their devices are.
The new Sony devices support MHL 3.0, if they use a standard implementation then their adapters might be the way to go, assuming they eventually turn up and don't cost an arm and a leg.

Anyone with T-Mobile firmware can please confirm if MHL works?

MHL 3.0 adapters, what works?

So, I'm about to leave for a holiday for a couple of weeks, and a MHL adapter for my Z2 tablet would be nice. I see Sony has a cable, but that's like 38$ in the local story, and I can find MHL 3.0 adapter for 4-5$ on Ebay. Would any MHL 3.0 adapter work, or does it have to be the Sony cable? I see many of the brands on Ebay mention Samsung, any reason why this would not work?

If you find one that works, can you let us know either way? I am also interested in this!

I bought one from the local accessories store - works out of the box on my Z2 tab. Just ensure that it has USB power

I got a Belkin hml adapter with input for power, worked on my Philips TV atleast

It'll be MHL 1.0 most probably, not 3.0 and probably not even 2.0.

the cheap ones work...
See my response on another thread

but this one worked for me for a GBP 'fiver'
