Micro usb->HDMI - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I recently purchased a micro usb to HDMI cable. It says it was compatible with the galaxy s3 but I figured it'd work with the One too. Now I'm having trouble figuring out if it is compatible at all. I have my phone plugged into the t.v. via this cable, and the usb to a power source. Is there any way to output to the t.v. through it? Or is the HTC WiFi media link they only way to do this?
Thanks for any help.
Attached some pictures of it.

Yes, it keeps scanning for the WiFi, and there seems to be no option for cable output.

i think you need a MHL adapter as well as the cabels, if the cable you already have doesn't have the adapter make sure you get one with HDMI out....................sudeki300

Box states that this cable is a MHL adapter.

not sure then why it will not work, if you have connected the phone to the tv and using an external power supply for the adapter and selected the correct channel on your tv it should in theory work. unless the cable is not compatible with the htc one, try running a vid from your phone......................sudeki300

I thought the galaxy s3 n htc, had different size micro usb ports? Which would make that adaptor not compatible with the htc one. If it fits, its just plug n play. Once plugged in, it says hdmi in notification bar and turn everything into landscape mode and as long as your tv is on the right input. You should see your phone screen. My friend has galaxy s3 and iirc she couldnt use my mhl adaptor because it wouldnt fit in the micro usb port.

Thank you for this. I have noticed the micro usb was particularly long. I thought it was just a design thing. Hmmm. I bought this at a market. Chances of getting my money back?! Slim.

Your cable should say MHL. Once you connect it to your One, an HDMI logo should appear in your status bar.
Particulary Galaxy S3 cables are mostly not compatible with other devices because they use an 11 pin (proprietary) micro usb connector vs. the standard 5 pin connectors on most other devices such as your One.

That's what it is then. The box definitely says mhl, but the micro usb is certainly different. Oh well.

The S3 has a different connection setup. My MHL adapter from my Galaxy S2 doesnt work with my S3, but turns out it does work with my HTC one so "bonus".

USB OTG Cable host mode while charging anyone try this accessory?

I've searched and never seen an actual 'buyable' product linked on the forums so if this is a dup, I apologize.
Anyone try one of these and see if you can have your Nexus in host mode and charge at the same time?
Is the only option for the female Micro USB port to bring more charge to a usb device plugged in and not to bring charge
to the Nexus itself?
Two scenarios would make this ideal for me:
1.) using my usb xbox controller to play games yet still keeping my tablet charged
2.) using a usb thumb drive to play a movie while still keeping my table charged
I think this would be pretty cool if it worked but I don't know the technical details on if it can be done with our Nexus 7's:

Looks like it's meant for providing power to the USB device you connect (e.g.. external hard drive) instead of to the Nexus7...
The eBay description says it provides charging the the micro-USB port. Only way to know is to buy it and try it out

I have a OK Galaxy Tab in the dash of my car, and use the headset port for music, didn't want to upgrade without seeing one in person.
Hopefully some sort of dock solution will make Otg and charging possible and I can upgrade. Thanks!

OTG and Charging is mutually exclusive, the OTG cable triggers the USB controller to send power out to a device, not receive power.
the pogo docks on the bottom of the device are also impossible to charge from as the nexus 7 has only been given one charging circuit, and that is the same one that OTG disables.
The only way to achieve something like this would be a physical battery hack where you splice in a charging circuit direct to the battery, without frying the phone maybe some unidirectional resistors, so that it can be simultaneously charged whilst powering the device.
I'm 99% certain of this information, and this is not to say someone might hack a kernel together one day
you might be able to install one of them batteries you can just set it on a charging pad and it will charge

Wrong. https://github.com/teamhacksung/and...mmit/4c1c965b168bc4488ef66889e1c8933bc1b3de46 for an example on Galaxy S2/Note
As to whether the adapter linked is a proper OTG ACA (they're VERY hard to find) and whether the grouper supports OTG ACA is unknown. It's something a kernel developer can probably implement.
Thanks Entropy512, I can see it working on other devices, that gives me hope... I might rig something up myself now, I've wanted to take a cheap usb keyboard plastic leather cover, and build in an extra battery, card reader and usb hub, now this might be theoretically possible

I can confirm that simply splicing a standard OTG cable into the port and plugging in a power cord will not work. I thought I'd utilize the empty socket from where the rear camera was supposed to go, and try to fit the OTG-to-microSD set-up inside of the Nexus. I bought a salvaged USB/headphone port from a damaged Nexus off of Ebay for $1 and the smallest microSD adapter I could find. With the use of a ribbon cable from an old laptop, some trimming, and some REALLY careful soldering I was able to make it work... sorta. Stickmount sees the card and everything runs great, until you plug in a power cord. Then, it disables the microSD adapter, and even though Stickmount says it's there, no files are visible. Also, the Nexus won't charge with this arrangement.
It might work with a different set up, but simply mimicking the OTG cable will not allow a Stickmounted volume and when the charger is plugged in.
(BTW - To make everything fit, I had to use a Dremel to grind away some of the mid-frame area around the rear camera space. It's a tight fit, but keep in mind that until you have a spare mid-frame, like I do, you'll obviously void your warranty.)

Same here, only I went a step further and added a 36k resistor from the ID line to ground and that didn't do anything either.
Hope all your work ends in success.
I would like to put this device as a car Entertainment system later. But charging and USB otg is a must.

this is the 4 port usb charger that charges the samsung galaxy note 10.1 without any adapters, only one port will charge it properly but that is all you need and you can charge your phone (mine is a note II) with the other and have 2 more ports for ???
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CCYZ0FM/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it does need some superglue on the sides, as the case split a little on me, but for what it does and is and for the price, I'll glue it.
I'm using the Apple 10W USB AC wall charger. What I like about it is the USB receptacle - it doesn't connect on the sides, which is very annoying when you're charging from an power extension board. It also has a lot less electrical noise, so using it to charge an unmodded stock Galaxy SII doesn't affect the touchscreen sensitivity. And because the AC head is detachable, I can switch it with other heads or use an AC cable.

I'm using the original cable that came with my Note 2, sometimes the Galaxy S2 stock cable. There's no difference in time taken charging when using either cable.
It's like they're made for each other

Yup, it comes with a 3.0 cable. It looks similar to the 2.0 cable, but if you look closely, there is a difference.

quick question 3.0 only affects transfer speeds when connected to a computer right? for charging it's always going to be the adapter's output (2A)

If connected to a computer that has a USB3 port, it'll be a faster charge than if you were to use USB2. USB2 has a max of about 500mA, theoretically. USB3 has a max of 900mA. When using a wall charger, it'll be the same as USB2, since the adapters output (most commonly 2A) remains the same. That also goes without saying: Using the wall charger will always be faster than using a computer, since the output is considerably higher.

Thats the standard USB 3.0 Micro connector. Its basically the standard USB micro connector we are all used to with an additional set of pins on the side. The nice thing is the ports are backwards compatible but with slower speeds.
If it's been upgraded to 2.5A then that explains the super fast charging speed.
Just got my S5
And nah, the wall adapter is still 2A...at least the one that came with mine is:

I think the fast charging is because of "Quick Charge 2.0" from Qualcomm's 801 chip.
My wife got her shimmery white phone yesterday that came with a white cord and charger and I was hoping my black on would come with a black cord and charger, no such luck, looks like they are all white.

Yup, you sure can. The USB3 port is backward-compatible so any of the old USB2 microUSB cables will work just fine.
the 2.0 cables seem to charge extraordinarily slow for me. The 3.0 cable from the same 2A source seems real fast.
Not sure if it is just the first impressions or an indicator that you should probably plan to use the 3.0 cables from now on...

[Review] Tronsmart USB C - USB A 6ft cable & USB C - Micro USB adapter

For almost two weeks now I have been testing out a USB C - USB A 6 foot cable and USB C - Micro USB adapter from Tronsmart. They sent me these products in return for an honest review.
To get links out of the way, here they are.
The cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018S348RG
The adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018S827GU
First off, we're going to test and see if the products are compliant to the USB C standard and include the 56k resistor that it is advertised to have.
For the Nexus 5X from an adb shell we run the command "cat /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/fusb301/*/fclientcur".
These are the results we are looking for.
0 - standard USB charging (good)
1500 - 1.5 amp type C charging (good)
3000 - 3 amp type C charging (bad)
I am testing these with my laptop and not from a terminal on the phone itself, so we will be looking for an output of 0.
Adapter:

Cord:
OnePlus cable (not using the correct resistor):
Testing is good! These cables and adapters do adhere to the USB C standard, so you can use them without worry.
I won't include images of the cables, because they're just long cables. I will show, however, the size and fit of the adapter.
As you can see, it is just a little bit bigger than the end of most micro-USB cables. The male micro end does not plug all the way into the adapter, but I am sure it was designed that way in order to keep the overall footprint of the adapter as small as possible (and in my opinion was the way to go here). Most of you I imagine wouldn't care but some of you might not like the aesthetics of it.
Both the cables and adapters (which both come in packs of two by the way) are built very well. They all feel like they will last a long time as long as you don't abuse them. The actual feel of the cables themselves are identical to the cable that is bundled with the phone, but without the soft touch finish. The cables come as either 3.3 or 6 feet in length. I decided to pick the 6 footer as it is perfect to use if you charge your phone right next to you in bed like I do. They all charge quickly and and properly at whatever current your charger is rated to put out.
Overall, I would give the cords a solid 10/10 and the adapters a 9/10. I would recommend them to everybody, especially at their price. Buy!

All in One USB Type C Hub

Hello guys,
I recently bought a Galaxy Tab S6 so I am wondering if there's any good all in one hub for this pretty device. I need to connect HDMI, keyboard, mouse aswell wireless controller and my headphones. Also if it's possible to charge the tab aswell. Thanks!
I've been eyeing this one, but haven't purchased it yet. Will probably do so next payday.

I had my eye on that, but it lists itself as being incompatible with Original Samsun adapters. I want a hub that'll let me properly charge the tablet whilst it's connected to a monitor, otherwise as soon as you plug it in, you're on borrowed time which stops it being nearly as useful.

Yeah, the hub needs at least 12w of power, plus the 15w you'll need for fast charging the tablet, so it'd need a stronger charging adapter than the original Samsung provided one. I'm looking at Anker's 30w or 60w charging adapter to go along with it. Thinking 60w so the adapter and the hub can pull double duty for my laptop as well. That way I'm only carrying one charging method with me when I travel.

Good Idea, i've tried a 30W (Huawei) charger and although it shows that it's charging, the charge drops steadily so that clearly doesn't work. Probably just cough up for both the PD charger and the adapter so I can be relatively confident that it'll keep it charged :good:
Maybe that way I'll be able to get the wired Xbox controller to work as well., might be there wasn't enough available power to run it...
I bought this much cheaper (I know it's not Anker) Type C hub from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-in-1-Typ...?pageci=04b0c239-e4f0-425c-ab87-419beb5be354&
It works perfectly fine, the only thing I noticed is that there is no fast charging available through it (at least with genuine Samsung charger), but it still supplies enough power so that it's not only holding level but slowly charging.
I repurposed my Hyperdrive when I changed from an iPad Pro to the Tab S6. There's a couple of small screws holding the plastic lip on it, but once I took those off, it fit great. Not completely flush with the tablet, but supports everything perfectly. Not the cheapest dock, but I already had it.

I bought this hub and love it as it is as slim as the Tab S6. It supports upwards to 60w fast charging with any pd charger and across my Huawei mate 20 pro, Nintendo switch and laptop.

I have just bought this Unisynk hub. A few USB-A ports. HDMI. LAN. Memory card reader. Feels great, good quality.
Tried here with HDMI to TV and Logitech radio keyboard with that small dongle. Works like a charm.

Looking to purchase a Ugreen
9-in-1 HDMI and VGA Model(40873): HDMI+VGA+RJ45+SD/TF+3*USB3.0+PD
Query is will the RJ45 LAN connected through this HUB work with this Tablet
Ugreen comment HUB supports Samsung DEX Samsung devices viz Samsung Galaxy S10/S9/S8/Note9/8, it is compatible with Dex Mode through hub, phone system version requires Android 9.0 or above.
Appreciate forum help on whether this type of HUB device will work and/or suggestions of any alternatives that perform same function
Looking to purchase through Aliexpress Official Ugreen Store (cannot post link as I don’t have sufficient posts)
Hi. Anyone can help me. Is there any multi adaptor/splitter that can support data transfer to laptop and use audio same time? Or data transfer to laptop and hdmi out to monitor. I am using Huawei MatePad Pro and only got 1 type c. And I want to control tablet by laptop such as a power mirror but no audio. I can use Bluetooh headphone but got latency that can not play FPS game.
