MHL HDMI adapter doesn't charge - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
So I bought a generic MHL adapter from ebay so I could hook up my phone to my TV through HDMI but the adapter does not charge while being used therefore it drains battery. It does charge BEFORE I hook up the hdmi to the TV, but as soon as it's connected, it stops charging. I know buying a cheap one from ebay is probably the reason in the first place, but if anyone knows a good brand of MHL adapter, feel free to share here so I can buy one that charges while I watch it on TV. FYI, I can't get media link from HTC because I have no wifi internet at home and its required, so I can only use MHL HDMI cable. Thanks for your help, let me know if there are any good brands and if you could post a link that would be great.

[Q] MHL Adapter

Im looking to get a MHL adapter so I can pump netflex etc to the TV. Has anyone tried one yet? Any recommendations? I can eBay and Amazon them all day long but being new to HTC/Android, should I stick to name brand or is the cheaper stuff OK?
I used the Samsung MHL cable and it works fine.

Where to buy this OTG adapter for SNote2 N7105?

Hello Members
Where can I buy this adapter (photo attached) other than ebay, in the UK.
Will it work correctly with my Note 2, as I'm going to use it to run an external USB DAC convertor, and need the extra USB power plug to power the phone and the DAC.
Failing that can, I get one made? Or make it myself from best quality audio grade USB cable and connectors?
If it's possible to make it, is there a specific wiring diagram for this OTG adapter + USB power plug that works for current Samsung smartphones?
Any help, or links to traders, and directions would be great.
Regards
Livio

Thanks for the links, but it's a OTG adapter with an extra USB male plug just for supplying 5 v power, reading a lot about making something up, but in short these modded adapter cables don't work with any certainty (something about not finding the nominal resistor value across pin (ID) 4 & (Ground) 5, which means either the phone goes to charge mode, but doesn't see the USB item that's been connected, or the reverse).
I thought the new Samsung Note 2 Smartdock might work, but it's been found to not see USB audio DAC's when there plugged in, unless someone knows different but I'm guessing the dock already takes the audio signal from the phones USB and feeds it to a 3.5 mm headphone socket in the unit.

Thanks knight900, but I wanted to buy the item from anywhere other than ebay, the reason, well in the past whenever I made a purchase from this type of location/trader there was always fraud instigated on my PayPal account.
I might still consider buying from Ebay if other forum members have purchased the same item from a particular Ebay seller with no issues.

[Q] MicroUSB Pin

i was watching a review of an mhl cable on youtube and the guy said that the note2 uses a different type of cable (11 pins?), is this just for the mhl cable or does it apply to OTG and chargers aswell? because since i have seen the video i am only using my note 2 carger, cant even order from ebay because they will just ship the normal one..please can some one confirm this to me?
It's just the MHL, normal USB OTG cables/hubs works just fine.

ahan thats great, thank you for the answer!

Lenovo Z5S, does it support USB-C to HDMI output?

Looked everywhere and can't find the answer. Wanna buy the cable but don't wanna spend the money on the cable if it doesn't work. I know there's screen mirroring but it's always choppy.

Inexpensive ($5 shipped) USB C to HDMI adapter

I picked this $5 USB C to HDMI adapter for while I was traveling. I needed to be able to watch TV and charge at the same time.
All the functions work great on my 7t. I am running Linage OS, so YMMV if your kernel doesn't support USB C to HDMI/displayport.

So you're outputting your laptop through this. You are using the TV as a second monitor for your laptop and using another cord to charge your phone through this? you are not outputting anything from your phone to the TV, correct?

I have no idea where you got anything to do with a laptop from my post. I never mentioned a laptop anywhere.
Can you show your cable or other link why it is down​
