Any micro usb to HDMI adapter cable that work?

I've seen some being sold on amazon but a lot of them don't work properly according to reviews. Anyone know if they have used a cable that will definitely let me hook my nexus 7 up to the TV via HDMI?

If you do a search through the various XDA Nexus 7 forums including this one for HDMI or MHL you will see that the Nexus 7 does not support HDMI or MHL.

That said, wait for miracast in the fall, it should solve the mirroring problem, and similar apps should start making the rounds soon.-Ara

Are you sure you bought the correct one?
Youll need the one for the galaxy s3 because it is 11pins i believe and there are mhl ones with 5 or 7 pins which is what most sell. So you might just need the 11pin adapter
so if you do buy it make sure its the galaxy s3 one as it is already 11 pin usb connector

You need a 5pin to 11 pin adapter to make what you have work, the adapter can be found for $3 shipped

The Samsung kit I got has the 5pin to 11pin adapter included but I have no signal on TV with or without the adapter . The Note does make a tone when I plug the adapter in. Do I have to enable something on the phone?? Thanks, Mike

Do you have your USB power connected to the MHL adapter while connected to the Note?
There's another MHL thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014441

Yup. Everything connected and just tried a different USB cable and also the 2amp Note wall charger. Giving up for tonite. Would appreciate more hints or advice-did look at some of those other posts. Thanks!

I got nothing to add. I just plug my Note into the MHL adapter, select my source on my TV and boom, I see my phone screen on the big screen. There's nothing to set on the phone AFAIK.

The resolution when using MHL is just 1920x1080 30Hz only, the screen quality is very bad, I'm disappointed

No, all stock for now..

Update:
My Amazon Basics 3 meter HDMI cable was no good. Different cable fixed my issue.

I use the Samsung MHL and Samsung 11 pin adapter and the picture quality is amazing. Even on my projector the resolution comes up as 1080 and it looks awesome.

How many pins does a note 2 have?

Are you running a custom ROM?

I bought this cable for my note2. it works great and the image out on my tv is pretty awesome. for this to work you just need hdmi to hdmi cable and your charger and baam it works. this product at times needs to be moved around so it can show on the tv but other then that it works and its cheap.

I have 1. It works but it is a little laggy for watching videos.

Yea you might have the wrong adapter. I have the Orealo C1 MHL Slim Pico Projector that i use with mine. It the projector came with two cables and I tested them both separately one was the HDMI and other was MHL. They have to be used together for the Samsung to have a video output. Not that its a bad thing because it extends the cable length. LOL. But check that you have the right one.

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151158410612 this work for me perfectly fine. Came in 2 Days work for my s4 and note 2 .

I only have 2 hdmi ports in my vizio tv with 2 hdmi cables. I'm thinking of getting the above. Would a female to female hdmi adapter take away from the quality of the image?
Does anyone have a link to an mhl adapter with a female port which works for you?
Thx!

How about via to hdmi or dvi t hdmi? Do they both work?
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium

I don't think you can go HDMI to displayport with a cheap passive adapter. You need an expensive active adapter. HDMI to DVI may work as long as it is single and not dual link dvi.

Sorry, I wasn't understanding your question earlier...
What I would try is to use a known working mhl adaptor for the Note 2 first then plug that to the HDMI to DVI adaptor. In their theory it should work. There's some DVI adaptors on Amazon you can try workout breaking the bank.

Setting up chromecast

So what kind of a adaptor, etc do I need to get chromecast to work on my "32 Lg hd t.v. with my Gs4.thanks in advance!!!

Nothing. Everything comes in the box. As long as your TV has a HDMI port, you will be fine. USB port is needed for power, but you can use regular adapter for that.

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.
