Plug mhl into Xperia z micro usb port.
Plug hdmi into mhl adapter.
Then plug micro usb into mhl Then into a power point - as mhl requires additional power -.
Then plug hdmi into tv.
Tv launcher will launch automatically.
Keep in mind the menus lag slightly
But 1080,720 and 4k videos play smoothly :thumbup:

PS3 hdmi not working!

Well i have had my ps3 for about a month and i bought component cables for it because the hdmi wasnt working. But i have decided i want to use hdmi.
When i plug my high quality gold hdmi lead into the tv and ps3 i turn it on and no picture no sound. I read on the internet, hold the power button in and it will auto set the video, still no sound or picture. I plug the component back in and it works, i go to display settings and switch to hdmi, i switch channel on tv to hdmi it says no signal.
Hmmm...
The tvs im using:
Sony Bravia KDL-32EX403 1080p
Tesco Technika 22" 1080I
The ps3 is a phat 40gb f/w 3.50
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Make sure you are switched to the right HDMI port, I know my TV has a few of them
Then try a different cable.

my technika only has one and the sony tells you which one something is plugged into.
still no luck so i will ask some one for a hdmi lead to borrow.

HDMI is almost perfect

Plugged in the HDMI cable I use on my Prime and it just worked.
Tested fine:
- normal app/camera operation
- music playback from Google Play, Amazon MP3, built in camera app
- pictures / movies taken with camera
- Dish player
- Netflix
- Google Play Movies/TV
- portrait and landscape
Only minor gripe.
- when an app switches to portrait (like Dish and Netflix do before playback begins) then sometimes when you exit the app the display is stuck in portrait and I have to tilt the camera to get it to switch to landscape again
Overall it works very well.
I bought on ebay an HDMI cable compatible with GS2 and Note, but with gCam does not work. Does anyone know tell me a compatible model, tried in person? Thanks

Mm02 what you bought isn't an HDMI cable, but an mhl adapter.
Any HDMI cable with either a micro sized plug on one end, or with an HDMI micro adapter will work.
The cable needs to be plugged in next to the battery.

[Q] [xperia t] mhl+usb+charging

greetings,
i did a lot of googling around, but only found more and more confusion. i understand that the xperia t has a microusb port that can be used for charging, connect usb devices with an otg cable (tested), and connect an external monitor/tv with an mhl adapter (haven't tested yet).
i've also come across a dock (sony calls it the 'tv dock') which is supposed to charge provide charging *and* allow a monitor to be connected - some say it has a usb port for connecting accessories, but according to the pictures and videos i've seen, it's clearly only meant for charging.
so.. since most people here are a lot more knowledgeable than me, my question is:
is there any accessory/cable/hack that allows me to connect an external monitor, a keyboard, *and* charge the phone at the same time?
thanks,
bamdad
p.s. this is my first post, so hi xda folks.. ^^
On Xperia Arc S, this is possible, because he have Hdmi port and micro USB port for charge.
Here in Xperia T, we have only one port, micro USB. I use mhl to Hdmi cable with USB cable to charge and make possible to see picture on TV for example, and I use Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad like mouse.
For me, this is all that I want, to make this feature to work.
Edit: Another possibility is to use screen mirroring function from phone with HDMI mirroring dongle to TV.

meh, too bad. i'm not really a fan of bt keyboards, because most of them run on batteries. i read somewhere that in *some* phones it's possible to get both usb and hdmi on the same connector (iirc it has something to do with it having more pins).
what do you mean by that 'mirroring function'?
Yes, the USB and Hdmi are posible on one cable. I have this one:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/281051732741
Edit: for mirroring like this for example :
HDMI CHROMECAST Dlna stream.
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/897156534.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail
This is for free micro USB on the phone to charge it and plug your keyboard and mouse, with USB-Otg cable to the phone with USB hub or dock Dk10 for examples.

[Q] MHL and screen mirroring

Hi, We all know that Xperia SP has screen mirroring feature and we can connect using MHL. It works fine on SONY Bravia TVs. My home has a full HD ONIDA LCD TV. It has 2 HDMI ports. If I connect, my phone to this TV using MHL to HDMI adapter, can I see phone screen on the TV? Give some more points about screen mirroring and MHL features of SONY phones with TVs other than SONY.

I have used MHL "TV Out" with MHL to HDMI adapter with Sharp and Samsung TV.
MHL it's not Screen Mirroring. Its two others features. First use MHL Adapter to send signal to TV. Second one. Use NO CABLE (wifi?) connection to display screen on other SONY devices (which support it).
No progblem with MHL at all, but....
First - My MHL adapter needs a little more power than standard SPs charger. With standard charger from SP my phone disconnects sometimes. Recconections after about 10 sec. With another charger (1A/5,1V) works perfect. Airplane mode on and I can play GTA:SA for hours
Second - phone charge veeeeery slow when connected to TV. About 5%/h :S

Hdmi - dp - vga - dvi - usb-c

Hello, here is the following testing I have done to the Motorola Z Play, I have plenty of resources to play with the USB-C and all kinds of Monitors and TV's.
This is the progress: USB-C to...
DP: Not Working
DP 1.2: Not working
DP 1.4: Not working
HDMI: Not Working
HDMI 1.4: Not Working
HDMI 2.0: Not tested yet
HDMI Yuv420 (UHD, HDR) : Not tested yet
HDMI MHL (UHD): Not tested yet
VGA and DVI are not working.
HDCP is working fine on my device. I'm using the latest version of Lineage OS.
Do you want me to test it more to another output?
Hi,
I'm using this adapter : M.Way Aluminium MHL Micro USB to HDMI Cable Digital AV Adapter Plug
It permits to mirror the screen on TV.
just no video with Apps which have "HDCP" video copyrights protection like Netflix
HEY
dont use the stock DATA cable since that is only USB 2.0, buy a USB 3.1 data cable and repeat those tests once again and then post it here. now those results are just ****.

Do you know the diferences between the standard of USB-C and USB, right? What do you mean???
The cables that I did used are USB-C, and the panels which I used are DP, HDMI, VGA, and DVI.
Your comment makes no sense, cause a "USB 2.0 and 3.1" are the standard USB but with different cables. Im using USB-C, which is A LOT BETTER than the "recommendation" you gave.
Really, what do you mean??

i know what is USB-C is i am talking about the other end of the data cable,
you see there are TWO end to a data cable one end is USB-C and the other end must be USB A type with USB 3.1 wiring style that means its base should be blue color and it has to have 4+5=9 pins in it please google USB 3.1 A type for more info
in india stock data cable is USB-C to USB 2.0 A type connector with only 4pins thats why lot of guys who tried to connect HDMI has been failed because HDMI needs USB 3.1 which has 9 pins.

I have never said that i'm using USB.
My dongles are USB-C to Video Television or Digital Video. There is no way my panels accepts video over USB. These are my dongles:
USB-C to HDMI 2.0
USB-C to HDMI
USB-C to eDP(Female)
USB-C to DP
Why would I need USB, while I have the actual dongle without needing another dongle for the USB you are menctioning? Can you see the photo I provided please?
The reason none of the adapters work is because the type C Port of the Z play doesn't have the HDMI/video out chipset/hardware. Hopefully this will become standard on type c phones but right now, it's wishful thinking. Maybe if this was a Mac book the type c would do video, Ethernet, charging, etc...
Let's not forget, this is midrange phone. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news on this one.

Do you use it with the moto Z ? surprising as moto has an usb-c port, not a micro-usb.
Did you manage to have hdmi screen output from a moto z [ /play/play2/force] ?
Yes, I have a Moto Z play.
I use an USB-C to normal USB cable (same cable to connect to my computer) to connect to the M Way MHL adapter (female USB input, the male USB input is for power)) . This cable is certified USB 3.1
I have another USB-C to normal USB cable but with this one it's not working (usb 2.0 only)
It's a kind of hdmi output, the adapter works as an usb screencast, usb debugging must be on on the smartphone
hope it helps
