So I found this on amazon, and though I don't need the VGA. I'm actually thinking of a car audio solution and using this as a single cable for charging and audio. Has anyone tried them? Instead of waiting for an official dock which I assume is essentially doing the same thing.

Would like to know if this adapter can drive audio and video from the N7 micro-USB port.
The Nexus 7 doesn't support mhl. This won't work.
I actually bought a MHL-HDMI this afternoon to give it a shot. Turned out Google Nexus 7 doesn't support MHL. Lmao for not searching before buying. Got it returned right away. Hahaha

Is there such a thing? I was given an iPhone dock/stereo as a present a while back but no longer use my touch, I still use the dock a lot though via AUX out to laptop/ phone/Nex7 but was wondering if anyone knows of a converter so I can make use of the dock as a place to keep my phone/ Nex 7 to charge (obviously not expecting it to work as a player, just to charge). A device that has a male micro USB one of side with a female iPhone port on the other.
Cheers.

Never seen that type. They make micro usb -> iPhone adapters, but I have never seen the reverse. Somebody out there must make something though. I'd try a google or ebay search.
Hello, if I understand correctly, it is that, but I still can not post the link, did a google search with "dockBossplus"
Yeah that's the sort of thing I'm thinking, I as hoping for more of a one unit device, ie, without an cable so it would more or less sit on the dock as an iDevice would.

Hi there, looking on Amazon there are hundreds of micro HDMI cables, and plenty with mixed reviews. Can anyone link me to where they bought theirs from please? Looking for cheapest available that works, also I live in the UK so shipping may be an issue from international stores. Thanks

Bought this one from Mediabridge and it works fine on my Sharp Aquos.
http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-M...671313&sr=1-2&keywords=mediabridge+micro+hdmi
I did read that if you want to unplug the tablet, you should turn off the TV first then put the tablet to sleep or else you might corrupt the storage on the N10. Can't find the link right now though.
Did this cable work okay for you?
Died it need to be any specific cable for the N10? I don't want to damage the port with an incorrect cable.
Will any of the mini to HDMI cables on eBay work?
Cheers

They all should work fine. This is the cable I purchased. Worked fine back then with my Transformer 300 and now the Nexus 10, as well. Monoprice is one of my go-to places for cables.

I got a short micro HDMI to HDMI female adapter at monoprice, then I just plug the correct length HDMI cable, or unplug the one from the TV... Easier to carry around.

The question is... do all of you people who are reporting success with your HDMI cable actually have audio playback too? Could of sworn I recall seeing a good bit of people reporting video working, but not audio.

Yes/no. On one television my hdmi has no sound and on another it does. If I use my son's cable the sound work on both set's but not on his. I've read it is the combination. It's hit and miss with particular cables. But I have been sending the sound to the stereo with blue tooth, so I don't use it anyhow.
I read the original post and was going to recommend purchasing locally so it could be exchanged if you ran into this situation.
I also like the idea of purchasing a short conversion cable to attach any hdmi! Great idea!

This is a panasonic issue. Not a cable issue from what I can tell. I have 2 cables (Dynex and Motorola) Both work the exact same. Fine on my Sony, no sound on Panny.
when you buy a regular hdmi cable you need to look for the version of the protocol that the cable supports (for features) and for gold connectors, with this small connector cables are there other considerations?
Just got a Fosmon Micro HDMI to HDMI (M/M) High-Speed Cable with Ethernet and Gold-Plated Connectors for Asus Transformer TF300 Prime - (6FT)
Video works, but audio doesn't work on my TV (some older VIERA TV). Judging by that Panasonic note mentioned earlier in the thread, that might explain the lack of audio :/
In any case, it's a very nice cable It's out of stock on Newegg currently though, but I paid like $3 for it.
I got a 5m on eBay in the end. It only came to £6.50 and video and audio work great!

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.

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).

Has anybody tried the official Samsung MHL adapter with the Note 3 yet? I picked one up and it is laggy. The tv displays exactly what is on the phone but when hooked up to MHL the phone seems to lag. As in, if I look at the phone's screen it is lagging behind too. When I unplug the MHL cable, it stops lagging. Tried with some games and even the line that follows your fingers using swype lags. Anybody else try this and have this issue?
Note 3 has MHL?
I plugged it in with my MHL cable that came with my home theater receiver and nothing came up on screen.
On my Optimus G I just plug the cable in to the micro USB and bam it works.
Do we really need a special adapter?

If it is a normal MHL cable you need the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter Samsung sells. I think I may have figured out my issue. Looks like I purchased the universal MHL 1 adapter from Samsung. Last night I ordered the MHL 2.0 adapter which hopefully will work out better as I've seen videos of people playing games without lag.

How'd the new one work out? I am using a Chinese one I used with my gs3 and its perfect for videos but with games there is a fraction of a second lag that makes playing Mario impossible.
If better mhl cable fixed ur issue let us know thanks.

The newer MHL 2.0 adapter has a higher refresh rate so that should resolve your problem.
i paid $11 for the 3 plug red wired mhl 2.0 setup on ebay ... works like a charm.

Our phones are pretty picky when it comes to which adapter they work with. I've tested a couple actually and I can vouch for the one made by analogix. I would post a direct link to the amazon listing, but as a new user I need to rack up 10 posts...
But if you search "SlimPort HDMI Adapter - Connect MyDP enabled mobile devices to any TV" it'll come up as $29 Prime.
This adapter, while expensive, works very well and has not cut out on me during hours of straight use. It has a charging port to provide power to the phone while in use, but i should tell you that while i had this connected my phone still discharged very slowly. Maybe 1% every 5-10 minutes. But that's with wi-fi, blutooth connected to a keyboard and mouse, and an aux cable hooked up to my speakers. So... not bad.
I got this one:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/161112913690?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Works great. With Wifi & BT on, battery got discharged about 4%. Not too bad considering that even the screen remains on.
The "slow charging" message is always there.
Anyone knows how to turn the screen off while connected to a big screen?
EDIT:
Oh cool.. found an app which does that!
http://www.screenstandby.com/
I've yet to see if it works on Slimport, but I don't think it'll be a problem..
Hey guys, I'm thinking about using a slimport adapter with my charging dock. Could you please tell me if they will work together?
Here are they:

I've tried this trick before on an official Samsung dock and official Samsung MHL adapter on an S4.
Didn't work.
MHL/Slimport utilizes alot more pins for it to work and I strongly doubt the charging dock will carry all the signals. Most probably it just carries the 2 power lines over.

I tested the slimport; worked with a few HDTVs but there is a 1080p Samsung TV made a few years ago that doesn't work with it. Could be HDMI port compatibility problem. I was able to get the same TV display the screen of a moto photon phone just using a microHDMI to HDMI cable.
Anyone tried miracast with 1080p video?

I'm using the Cable Matters slimport adapter. It's a little glitchy.
It needs to be disconnected and re-connected once in a while, but more importantly you cannot connect the power or it cuts out completely. The G2 battery holds out ok and charges quickly so I'm just rolling with it but you may want to try another one before going to this.
My adapter only displays the camera in portrait mode. Is that a problem for anyone else or just my adapter?
Sorry to bump this thread after a while, but I was wondering the same thing. What is the best value for money Slimport on the market?
Just bought this one from monoprice
http://www.monoprice.com/mobile/product/details/10252
Reviews say it works well with the G2
& it's $11.50 during Black Friday weekend!!!
