Our OB not support HDMI....Sorry
Wanted it too
Some people say this is the optimus black, but it's 2x.

Create an app to do what ?
There is no HDMI port on the phone, the only solution i see is to use the USB port, but then you would also need some hardware that connects on the USB and reinterprets that data sent to it and export that on a HDMI port.
I for one haven't seen any such devices (USB-to-HDMI for phones).

It is called MHL adapter
It does exactly that- micro usb to HDMI and is being use in galaxy nexus and galaxy note etc
Unfortunately not the case for our blacky
So, finally end with smart share..USB mass storage only...
NO HDMI...:banghead:

Hi,
I found this update driver and libs for our black ,and i think that we can use mhl cable ,
Just we have to waite for dev to update the kernel.

Cant tell you how much i hope you are wright and we get to use mhl
are you sure you cant use an micro usb-hdmi cable, parhaps with an app that interprates the signal and send it through usb

As said before it is nothing to do with an app. It has to be supported by the kernel. So far not possible for the black. Also possible issue is the output electricity. It needs to be 5v 500mA.
Technically speaking the OBs chipset supports usb-otg and hdmi .
Just matter of incorporating mhl in the kernel now or on ICS.
P.s. In an optimistic mood i bought the before mentioned adapter, and it has optional external power supply ( the phone charger or battery pack) .Waiting for it to come, and either there will be some change in near future or there will be new phone which supports mhl out of the box.
opti_black lacks HDMI connectivity..
thats sad but true .
It is not OB that lacks it.
The SOC can do it. It is LG that ain't interested in giving us the option.
i certainly wouldn't use it
i did not use it at all in my optimus 3D
As like the members say it certainly depends upon the taste of droidser.. some of them take its advantage while other rarely..
However its overall use by droidser is least.

So guys are you sure there is nothing to do in order to connect OB to TV by hdmi cable?
I just bought a LED TV a week ago and I want to connect the ob to it..
Afraid not a lot to be done. I have usb to hdmi adapter and it works fine with Galaxy Note , but as mentioned before not with the OB.
Following closely the development for the galaxy sl. They are still in a lock down and no luck.
But still hope is there.
ow about on screen phone??can use it for make an app for hdmi?
done some searching around for this too but no real solution. If you want to see your phone screen on the TV, connect it to you computer, use some remote screen software and connect the computer screen output to the TV

Is there any attachment available, through which we can connect pendrive to our OB directly.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
As far as I know: NO. It is not a matter of connector but USB port on OB. It should have USB Host feature in order to connet to pendrive ( or HDD ).
So it is not possible to incorporate tgat trough CM? Or is there a fisical issue ?
I have asked few times but nobody seens to know.
There were older phones where that function was enabled through custom kernel.
Even if it means having to flash kernel every time to use it it would be nice to have the choice .
One should read specification of P970 chipset as it is surely explained there
Additionaly I doubt that in any case there is possibbility to have + 5V out on P970 USB socket to power up pendrive

As i haven't found confirmation of either positive or negative answears the question stays open.
If lower end phones have it why not the OB?
If you have the data sheet of the chip would you shine some light on please.
Any chance of USB host with ICS for our OB ?
Greetings,
People seem to be comparing the S3 mini to the S2, which i find to be a little bit strange, I seem to have found out that it support much less Bluetooth profiles than the S2 I9100 phone. But I have a few questions for you guys, on gsmarena it is indicated that it will NOT support USB Host or USB OTG which is a requirement for me, can anyone confirm this or not? Also, if it does support USB OTG, will it use the old MHL connector or the new one that permits to use HDMI and USB at the same time?
Thanks for the help!
Carl
i do believe you can use hdmi and usb at the same time

Can anyone confirm this? Want to use hdmi with my S III mini.
Actually it's not very clear, someone says the old one,some others the new one ( 5 pin /11 pin if i don't get wrong). You need to find someone who already tried
i tried usb otg, and it didnt work but i saw somebody say its just a software limitation.. somebody also said he tried tv out and it worked but he didnt mention which cables he used...

Im looking for a really good dock with HDMI out, and if its possible multiple usb ports out.
Just like the Galaxy note 2 dock:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origina...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item27d1b98c76
If anybody knows a similar dock(s) share with me please.
You will be unable to use it, i think that O4X has "old" mhl which does not supports simoultaneous data and video transfer plus no native host support

i think we are talking mostly software here because OTG Host works on LG and hdmi out too ,but i really dont know about simoultaneous actions
i really don't know if we can use MHL and USB hub at the same time, but i use the MHL cable from my HTC Sensation and it works using external power, also, the thing that i do is putting my Sensation on a normal Dock, in the dock i connect the MHL, the HDMI to my 42 inch monitor, and a Keyboard with mouse like whis http://www.amazon.com/QQ-Tech®-Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Handheld/dp/B00BALK9CM/ref=pd_cp_pc_0...
i have do the same with my LG 4X HD, but without the dock, deffenitly faster and better!
i have my eyes on this
http://www.amazon.com/iBolt-Streame...=UTF8&qid=1373153894&sr=8-1&keywords=mhl+dock
first versions of mhl were 5 pin, second is 11 pin. first CANNOT transfer at the same time, second CAN.
MHL was being developed by the MHL Consortium, a Consortium made up of leading companies in the mobile and CE space that includes Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba.
Say thank you to that idiots that decided to made MHL. I prefer micro USB + micro HDMI, but this is probably easier to do.
11 pin MHL was introduces i think with SGS3
5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle
The first implementations use the most popular mobile connection (micro USB) and the most popular TV connection (HDMI). Other than the physical connectors, USB and HDMI technology are not being used. It is exclusively MHL signaling through the connectors and over the cable.
11-pin "samsungs MHL"-HDMI adapter/dongle
The Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S4 use a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously. (Note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB On-The-Go port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III/ Note 2 can power the MHL-HDMI adapter (when used with a non-MHL-compatible-TV). Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.
The Galaxy S III was the first MHL device to use a different connector - one that is not compatible with all other MHL devices and accessories. [9][10]
sources are form wiki
EDIT: and yet, i have googled a little, seems that 11pin does not do host and video at the same time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741583
so... samsung is being idiot by forcing their standards. Thats why I hate big companies, they are like spoiled children. Idiotic, in 2010/2011 when MHL was not installed in mobiel phones you could use hdmi independent on usb. but now you cant. point of using mhl???
its a bit of a shame, i wanted this phone to be as viable as possible for Ubuntu touch's desktop environment. But its not that much of an issue, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse works fine in that regard

Are you using stock rom? I think that MHL video output is bugged in CM10.1.

Hey guys,
I was looking at the Samsung smart dock :
( can't insert link as I am a new Member)
And was wondering if it would work on the Xperia z1?
I know that the z1 supports MHL and OTG so I'm guessing it could work..
Also, I realise that the actual phone won't fit onto the dock properly but I really want hdmi out with at least 2 usb inputs, so I'm fine with using a micro usb male to female cable to run from the phone onto the dock.
This is my first post so let me know if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks in advance

It's a hardware issue actually, Samsung uses special usb connectors which can active both mhl and usb at the same time, not sure Sony does too...

I use something like this and it works fine to have HDMI out, but never tried using the USB in at the same time.
You can use the usb as storage or only for charging while using hdmi?

I heard that the USB input on that could only be used for power and nothing else.. :/
I think that's correct, as the HDMI output does not work unless there is AC power going to the Micro USB in.

Theres a cheaper version of the dock on ebay for $11 which has HDMI and USB (both full size) ports. I might buy it and try that one first.
A stupid question, how can I use the MHL cable and charge the Z1 in the same time? It is possible?

Hello guys,
I made some researches before asking but couldn't find...
I got the Mi 8 recently, not really used a lot yet and I'm asking me if sending signals via HDMI to USB C is possible. I know the opposite is of course possible.
Let say I wanna view my raspberry desktop on my Mi 8 using this cable/adaptator, could it work?
I'm also aware that there is some other possibilities to see my desktop via apps like vnc etc so not need a cable but I'm curious to know if both directions are possible.
If so, what app should I use or you recommand to make my raspberry desktop appears on my phone?
I'm lack of knowledge so perhaps its a stupid question to ask. Sorry about that.
Thx in advance!
Cheers
Mi8 can't stream over USB.

With apps like ApowerMirror, you can stream over USB to a PC and plug the PC to a TV or try a DisplayLink adapter (don't know if it will work). Other than that it's just wireless display to the TV, if the TV have an Ethernet port connect it and have the Mi 8 connect using 5GHz to a router to reduce lag (or it might be lag free). USB C to HDMI doesn't work because the phone doesn't support it.

So I got one of these:
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2uu1qfWs
It works with it, but... It's lagging, sluggish, and slow.
When there is a video playing on the screen, horizontal, it's okay, because only part of the screen is getting refreshed.
But when I switch to vertical playback, it's only around 5-17 fps, depending how much of the screen have to refresh.
BUT probably only lagging, because it's 1080p.
Whe n I tried with a portable USB screen (this one : https://www.amazon.com/MIMO-TOUCH2-7-inch-Touchscreen-Monitor/dp/B0052Z996E) it was fine. But the resolution os only 720p (or less?).
So.... Still better to have a chrome cast ultra... Maybe? I didn't tried it yet, only chrome cast, and it was okay (except the audio... It was bad.)
If you are searching for duplicate phone screen (usb c to hdmi), you can always buy a displaylink adapter like this and a usb otg: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B076SX73LY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It duplicates your phone screen easily with the displaylink presenter app.
No lag, no blurry, no glitches, tested by myself, awesome results. It works with any pc also through usb (for example having two hdmi out with two screens on a single pc).
The only cons on this model is that it uses your phone battery to power the adapter, you cannot charge your phone when you're using it...
The other direction, hdmi to usb c has no options I think, only usb to usb comunication
