I've seen some being sold on amazon but a lot of them don't work properly according to reviews. Anyone know if they have used a cable that will definitely let me hook my nexus 7 up to the TV via HDMI?

If you do a search through the various XDA Nexus 7 forums including this one for HDMI or MHL you will see that the Nexus 7 does not support HDMI or MHL.
That said, wait for miracast in the fall, it should solve the mirroring problem, and similar apps should start making the rounds soon.-Ara

Any suggestions on this? It seems my nexus is very picky about only using the stock cord. I couldn't even get it to charge with my galaxy S2 cord. Charge icon was on but didn't charge.
Thoughts?

I use a USB 3.0 Cable extender that I got for like $3 off eBay. Charge time is the same and the cord is 6ft longer
Search and you will find a great thread on cables and chargers and what works and doesn't and why.
I picked up a couple of these when they were on discount ($9.95 at the time). LONG 6ft cables and they work great for not only the Nexus 7 but other devices as well (Raspberry Pi)...

Even at the current price of $16.31 I would not hesitate to buy one.
Thanks guys, I will try that. I hate this little cord.

I used $random cable in the house, works fine. Just make sure you use the OEM charger, unless the cable is super crap it should just work.
Im using my old charger from my blackberry curve 8300 with a mini usb to micro usb adapter on it because it was the longest charger I have. It worked to charge my original evo 4g, it charges my evo lte, and it charges my nexus 7 as well.

I paid $3.94 total. Should have been smart and ordered two (other half wants one) but I wanted to be sure it works. It's great and plenty long enough.

I've got a couple of 2mtr cables with right angle micro usb plugs, cheap as chips off eBay and they work fine.

Are you sure you bought the correct one?
Youll need the one for the galaxy s3 because it is 11pins i believe and there are mhl ones with 5 or 7 pins which is what most sell. So you might just need the 11pin adapter
so if you do buy it make sure its the galaxy s3 one as it is already 11 pin usb connector
You need a 5pin to 11 pin adapter to make what you have work, the adapter can be found for $3 shipped
The Samsung kit I got has the 5pin to 11pin adapter included but I have no signal on TV with or without the adapter . The Note does make a tone when I plug the adapter in. Do I have to enable something on the phone?? Thanks, Mike

Do you have your USB power connected to the MHL adapter while connected to the Note?
There's another MHL thread here:

Yup. Everything connected and just tried a different USB cable and also the 2amp Note wall charger. Giving up for tonite. Would appreciate more hints or advice-did look at some of those other posts. Thanks!

I got nothing to add. I just plug my Note into the MHL adapter, select my source on my TV and boom, I see my phone screen on the big screen. There's nothing to set on the phone AFAIK.
The resolution when using MHL is just 1920x1080 30Hz only, the screen quality is very bad, I'm disappointed
No, all stock for now..

Update:
My Amazon Basics 3 meter HDMI cable was no good. Different cable fixed my issue.

I use the Samsung MHL and Samsung 11 pin adapter and the picture quality is amazing. Even on my projector the resolution comes up as 1080 and it looks awesome.

How many pins does a note 2 have?

Are you running a custom ROM?

I bought this cable for my note2. it works great and the image out on my tv is pretty awesome. for this to work you just need hdmi to hdmi cable and your charger and baam it works. this product at times needs to be moved around so it can show on the tv but other then that it works and its cheap.
I have 1. It works but it is a little laggy for watching videos.

Yea you might have the wrong adapter. I have the Orealo C1 MHL Slim Pico Projector that i use with mine. It the projector came with two cables and I tested them both separately one was the HDMI and other was MHL. They have to be used together for the Samsung to have a video output. Not that its a bad thing because it extends the cable length. LOL. But check that you have the right one.
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151158410612 this work for me perfectly fine. Came in 2 Days work for my s4 and note 2 .

I only have 2 hdmi ports in my vizio tv with 2 hdmi cables. I'm thinking of getting the above. Would a female to female hdmi adapter take away from the quality of the image?
Does anyone have a link to an mhl adapter with a female port which works for you?
Thx!
hey droids!
just thought id share my set up atm incase anyone is keen to do something along the same lines.
Currently running Ubuntu 13.04 raring ringtail on the nexus 7, sitting on an adjustable stand i salavage from a desklamp.
when running the device i use a wireless mouse and wired keyboard via an otg cable and a 4 port usb hub, then a 1tb desktop HDD then to finish it off it an extra usb charger i wired up from the pogo pins
so far so good. it doesnt really charge while using it, it more sits at the same voltage lol so thats fine. when the screen is off it charges fine.
pics tomorrow
Sounds interesting, how do you charge it, using a pogo dock?
You should post pictures of your setup

Maybe because the S3 used a proprietary adapter that was 9 or 10 pins for Samsung devices only.
A standard MHL adapter is a normal 5 pin micro usb plug.
But i could be wrong.
