Mhl adaptors for the LG 4X - LG Optimus 4X HD

What are the brands that make compatible mhl adaptors for the 4X? Personally i would prefer it if there was a compatible mhl adaptor for dvi or even better, for displayport. Is there such a thing for the 4X?

Hi, I'm planning to buy an MHL adaptor, my question is that with CM10.1.2 ROM is there any issue, will that work? Or I have to revert to stock rom?

Mine which has CM10.1.2 freezes the second I plug the MHL cable and the only way to "unfreeze" is by hard rebooting it

Honestly... I dunno for other phones.. But P880 is not good on MHL... because it drain the battery really fast!! Even those MHL cable needed an extra USB port for supplying power. The battery goes down 10% about every 8 mins. I am only playing online video(youtube etc.) some games might drain more battery. I also tried to use a 2A power supply.. the result is still the same.. (I found our P880 will not take advantage on higher current supply, let me know if I am wrong on this. Maybe it is just the power supply lies on me)
OK.. for your questions.
CM does has an issue on rotation for P880. As I told before, CM said it is a problem of Nvidia drivers and they've announced it won't be be fix. CM10.2 is slightly better... but it still has problem because CM10.2 just lock everything in portrait mode on your output screen. If an apps need landscape mode. it will has rotation problem. Also, I still don't have a clue about how to make it displaying 1080p.
If you need really need MHL on P880.. stock rom is the only option.
For the cables that work, at the time I was buying a MHL cable, I asked the store about it. They said any MHL has USB power should work. The one I buy said it is for Galaxy S2 and some LG model on the box and it works like a charm. Running games and playing video smoothly on 720p or 1080p.
Hope it helps and Thanks
Mike

Create an app to do what ?
There is no HDMI port on the phone, the only solution i see is to use the USB port, but then you would also need some hardware that connects on the USB and reinterprets that data sent to it and export that on a HDMI port.
I for one haven't seen any such devices (USB-to-HDMI for phones).

It is called MHL adapter
It does exactly that- micro usb to HDMI and is being use in galaxy nexus and galaxy note etc
Unfortunately not the case for our blacky
So, finally end with smart share..USB mass storage only...
NO HDMI...:banghead:

Hi,
I found this update driver and libs for our black ,and i think that we can use mhl cable ,
Just we have to waite for dev to update the kernel.

As said before it is nothing to do with an app. It has to be supported by the kernel. So far not possible for the black. Also possible issue is the output electricity. It needs to be 5v 500mA.
Technically speaking the OBs chipset supports usb-otg and hdmi .
Just matter of incorporating mhl in the kernel now or on ICS.
P.s. In an optimistic mood i bought the before mentioned adapter, and it has optional external power supply ( the phone charger or battery pack) .Waiting for it to come, and either there will be some change in near future or there will be new phone which supports mhl out of the box.
opti_black lacks HDMI connectivity..
thats sad but true .
It is not OB that lacks it.
The SOC can do it. It is LG that ain't interested in giving us the option.
i certainly wouldn't use it
i did not use it at all in my optimus 3D
As like the members say it certainly depends upon the taste of droidser.. some of them take its advantage while other rarely..
However its overall use by droidser is least.

So guys are you sure there is nothing to do in order to connect OB to TV by hdmi cable?
I just bought a LED TV a week ago and I want to connect the ob to it..
Afraid not a lot to be done. I have usb to hdmi adapter and it works fine with Galaxy Note , but as mentioned before not with the OB.
Following closely the development for the galaxy sl. They are still in a lock down and no luck.
But still hope is there.
ow about on screen phone??can use it for make an app for hdmi?
done some searching around for this too but no real solution. If you want to see your phone screen on the TV, connect it to you computer, use some remote screen software and connect the computer screen output to the TV

[Q] MHL works on all ROMS?

I'm currently on the "Collective" Rom... it doesn't have TouchWiz...
Recently, i tried out a MHL cable at a store. But when i plugged in... nothing happend..
so i guess what i'm asking is... do I need to change the Rom to get MHL to work?
I think MHL does not work on any of the non tw roms.
Sent from my GT-N7000
I don't think it will work without additional power source, at least mine won't. It should be connected either to usb port on the tv/monitor or to electric socket (using for example Galaxy Note charger).
MHL isn't available on all custom ROMs. For example, CM9 and derivatives won't have it.
ROMs Based on stock firmware should have it for the most part, but it might depend on what the chef cooks in or leaves out.

OTG Cable for OB?

Hi, i recently saw a OTG cable in Amazon that it is like $.86 Dollars, and free shipping, but it says it is for samsung S2 and S3, I was wondering if there is a chance it will work on the OB.

They generally aren't cross-compatible since there are quite a few differences between different phones and manufacturers. You can take a chance if you wan't.
I have an OTG usb cable, and it doesn't work at all with the OB, I tried even the korean V30 and nothing.
What a pity.. OTG is very very useful, I had an android device with OTG and it's amazing, you can connect keyboard, mouse and even usb flash drive / external hard disc !

HDMI Cable

Will any Mini HDMI to HDMI cable work for the Nexus 10? What I mean is, are there different ones, the part you plug into the Nexus, I know there are like tons of different usb connections.
I want to play content on a TV. I found a nice cheap $7.99 cable from Walmart, but don't know if it will do what I want?

It is microHDMI. I bought this one from Monoprice for $7.50 and it outputs both audio and video just fine.
So Mini would be a different one then?
Alright, are there USB to HDMI cables available? Does that do everything, any benefits?
You need a micro hdmi cable for your nexus 10... There are micro Usb to hdmi cables but they are for phones/tabs that use MHL... The nexus 10 has a dedicated hdmi port

Ordered one of these. I tried another cable from another supplier and it was very flakey! Monoprice rocks!:good:
Hey guys.
So I bought one of these, only a 3 foot one, and it's absolutely wonderful.
Two questions though....
How long of a cable can I have before there becomes a streaming issue?
Also, how can I blank the tablet's screen while having it still continue to stream video content?
My device is rooted and I have Xposed framework installed.
Cheers.

Is there perhaps another method?
The reviews for that application are somewhat intimidating.
WTF! This g-d [email protected] thing ruined my tablet. I installed it, then it went to screen off mode, which disabled my HDMI out too. So I couldn't see anything, so I turned it off and back on, and when it came back ... it was all reset to factory! everything is gone! Piece of crap

Would definitely do a backup before installing then.

I have a micro HDMI I got from amazon and I use this app and works well after you learn how to set it up. Once you install you need to set your screen on regular settings to stay awake, I usually set it to 30 min, so the tablet won't turn the screen of while watching video, then I set the app in the settings to turn off screen with HDMI cable detection, then if you need to wake the screen after is off and you're watching something, it has a shake to wake feature, just shake the tab and will wake the screen up.
I have had it wake the screen up before while watching a vid but not often.

Did your MHL cable work for the M8?
I have a cheap one I got for my Samsung s3, and it has an adapter that goes between the phone and the cable and if I don't use that adapter it works fine. I think the Samsung interface has a switched wire that's why it needs it. So not all cables are the same but if the universal one had a removable adapter it will probably work.

How did you guys got it to work? I bought two different MHL 5pin adapters and none worked. The MHL symbol does appear on the phone but there is no image on the TV. I dont undestand and I am getting desperate, does someone has any tips?
Cheers
A "cheap" MHL cable will probably be MHL 1.0, which won't support 1080p (1080i @ 30Hz max rather than the 1080p @ 60Hz that MHL 2.0 supports)
Most MHL cables are also designed for use with recent Samsung devices, which use a proprietary MHL implementation, which is NOT compatible with non-Samsung devices.
The MHL "standard" is almost totally useless, mostly thanks to Samsung creating this confusion, plus the fact that almost no-one ever categorically states what version of the format (1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0) their devices are.
The new Sony devices support MHL 3.0, if they use a standard implementation then their adapters might be the way to go, assuming they eventually turn up and don't cost an arm and a leg.
Anyone with T-Mobile firmware can please confirm if MHL works?
