Micro USB to HDMI Adapter

The razr i has only got a micro usb port you probably know...
Somewhere i heard it would be possible via an adapter to get hdmi signal out of this port...
Can soneone guide me to one of those adapters or is one already shipped with the device?
Thanks

One is not shipped with the device, but if the USB does support HDMI out that would be fun to try for inclusion in other mods.
You'll need to know if the razr i is MHL compliant. If not you should not be able to have HMDI output on the microUSB.
If so, you'll just need a MHL adaptator, something like this:

EDIT: Cancelled.
Apparently it doesn't work on the M, so I'd be surprised if it worked on the i. It will be cool if it does, though.
it does haves a dock app do ,and somewhere in manual and info papers that comes with the phone, you can read several statements that point to a dock port

Hi Robert,
Do you own a PS3, XBox or Apple Tv????
The reason I ask is because if you download app called 'DoubleTwist' from google play store this consolidates all of your music and videos into one application instead of having seperate apps for each.... Once you have this downloaded and all your content on you can download there paid app called 'AirTwist' for double Twist.
once you have these 2 seetings you can wirelessly send your videos and music over any wifi network to a Playstation 3, Apple Tv or Xbox and no need to have cables lying round and probably costs the same if not less than buying the cable!
Hope this helps and if so please don't forget to press the Thanks Button on the left under my user name

HDMI Connection Kit

Does anyone have one of these that can tell me more about it?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Micro-U..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item3cd4db7fb9
Looks like from the bottom of the listing it states:
"Attention: The MHL, OTG,Card reader and Charge function only can be used one at the same time. cannot use it together
all functions can be used only when the adapter is being charged"
Not a bad price, but if I can't at least use HDMI + another function like SD card or USB peripherals it seems a little redundant
Thoughts?

Hi.
Have you received your HDMI kit yet? Does it work?
I received mine today but unfortunately, the HDMI function does not work at all, I don't know if it is my TV or the device is defective.
The OTG function works only if external power is plugged in which makes this device almost useless. There is no way to plug in the external power and SD card at the same time.
My phone is running Jedi X16.
Update:
I read the instruction manual and confirmed that external power supply is required for all functions of this device. So we can forget about using it as a portable OTG doggle.
I also connected a USB keyboard and a USB mouse to it and both worked at the same time.
So the remaining question is whether the HDMI works with Jedi X. I tried it on two Panasonic TVs and both didn't work.
2nd Update
Read the forum and found that I have to turn on Airplane Mode for HDMI to work. My phone did detected the HDMI cable but no video out. Used my other cheap MHL cable and video was displayed on my TV. So it seems that my device is defective.

Any updates?
It works as an OTG adapter but you have to plug in power first to make it works so it is not too convenient.
It didn't work as an HDMI adapter no matter how I connected it to my TV.
Initially I thought it was defective, the seller had sent me an replacement but with same result.

I have the official mhl adapter from Samsung. Bought it on Amazon uk at a great price. Must buy from Amazon and not from of the other sellers from Hong Kong
Anyhow just mentioning that it too needs to have power supplied for it to work. I just plug a cheap usb cable into a usb port on either the satellite decoder box or the tv and that works fine.
Btw the Samsung mhl adopter works amazingly well. I've had absolutely no problems using it to watch Netflix, streaming tv, YouTube, or playing videos from the sd card. Everything I've thrown at it works really well.

My $5 made in China MHL adapter with a 11-5 pin adapter works well too. Only the HDMI connection kit is not working.

One of these hdmi/usb/card reader devices?
I already have a cheapo MHL adapter which works fine (yes, you need power plugged in). But I wanted to add USB OTG, and this seems the only device that will give it to me on the cheap. So I'd really like to know if anyone has one that works with HDMI and USB at the same time.
I also find it hard to believe how so many sellers out there can be selling these when it's physically impossible to plug in an SD card at the same time as the micro USB plugged in for power. That's obviously a massive design fault.
Once the connection kit and the power are plugged in and the phone detected the existence of the adapter, you can remove the power and insert the USB drive or SD card.

OTG support for Desire C?

I'm running CM 10.1 and was wondering if it's possible to get OTG working with it.
I was on the verge of flashing a specific kernel on my Nexus 4 for the same reason before I sold it, and was wondering if there's anything similar for the Desire C

Ah I understand I'm not sure but you'd obviously need an adapter
Sent from my HTC Desire C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, I've got a couple of different adaptors, as well as an external USB microphone I'd like to use, it's just that there seems to be no kernel with the correct drivers built in.
Maybe I'll learn how to build kernels. Maybe not
Have you thried?
Sent from my HTC Desire C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Nah, not even close. I had a look at a few tutorials, and the work the guys did using Franco kernel on the Nexus 4, but it's well out of my league,.
I also bought the cable, the female USB, just to find out that this phone doesn't support USB OTG. Please guys if anyone could find a solution that would be great! I need to be able to connect USB sticks directly to my phone!

Hello to all, as the title says I would like to know what USB OTG cable everyone is using and if you like or have any issues with it. I have googled my hands out and have not found any direct info with the M8 and USB OTG cables and Amazon was overwelming with cables from China. Any help or advice would be awesome, and as always many thanks in advance.
Any otg cable with a seperate way to be powered other then the phone is good
