Hi has anyone.
seen such adapter on sale? seems like only Mhl version 1 is to be found
I was wondering the same, so yesterday I've send Sony an e-mail. As soon as I have an answer I'll post it here.
I have the rocketfish RF-G1171 MHL Adapter and it works really well for me. I can play games on HD on my TV
I got a reply from Sony Mobile.
Sony has this MHL cable which should work with the Tablet Z3 compact: DLC-MC30 I paid 26 euros for it... I don't have it yet but I'll come back to confirm if it really works.
edit:
It does not work on my Samsung tv. I guess because a normal HDMI port does not give power to the phone. Too bad it doesn't work

Has anyone found a compatible mhl cable to order?
Sent from my LG-P880
I've tried Samsung and HTC cable but the quality is not top notch. The television says the signal is 720p but it looks kind of blurry... anyone have any information on the video quality outputted from the phone?

i didn't try it for myself, ebay has a lot ....
ebay {2]
Search on google for: 3m 10 Ft MHL Micro USB HDMI 1080P 3D Cable fr Samsung Galaxy i9100 HTC Sensation
This one works over here.
I tryed my old MHL cable adaptor (bought some months ago for my old SGS2) and the video quality it's great but no digital audio from device. :'(
Some other people tryed other adaptor?
Samsung works great
I bought the one from Samsung original, amazing 1080p quality, best I ever saw on my 40 inch television.
It's the one that samsung offers for S2 and S3 and it works really perfect, no lag, no glitches and it gives amazing high quality.

But Samsung has different cables for S2 and S3... I have MHL adaptor for S2 and it works perfectly with P880. With sound of course...
Is there a way to wirelessly mirror content? I think the SGS3 can do this with a special apparatus or something.

I retried it and great video and audio. Sorry. But only in 720P. My TV it's HD-Ready and not FULL-HD.
My MHL adapter it's a simple model compatible with GS2 and I bought on eBay one year ago. I payed it only 10 euros.
I can see some of you having success in display it on the TV
but I have try two different MHL adapter (I dont know if it is for S2 or S3 but I can;t seem to get it work on a computer monitor with HDMI
are there any sitting I need to change or apps that I need to install???
Maybe some settings in the hidden menu will do the trick for those where it doesn't work (not tested, since I don't own a MHL-Adapter)
Type: 3845#*880# in the phone app and the hidden menu will open. Scroll to the end and choose "HDMI Resolution Test"
There are some Settings, maybe something will make the Adapter work
will try
Hey,
I am occurring the same problem, and its annoying, but credit to Hidden92 in the "resolution" menu under "HDMI Resolution Test" , i have changed resolution to any of them and only once the email on my Samsung TV appeared.
Also i have noticed that the settings that i am selecting doesnt saved and each time i am getting into "HDMI Resolution Test" menu , the settings rolled back to default.
Well...
Anyway , you should try to do this , the less it will work for you
=====EDIT======
I have managed to Play movies using MHL cable.
it has been some connector problem, i have moved the cable abit left to right and it begin to work.
Hey MrWunderbaum,
I own 4X and using Generic MHL cable 1080p that was bough for 15$.
Everything works fine.
You should try.
In Addition, LG owns their own MHL cables , but they are abit more expensive.
I tried and mhl 3M cable that is supposed to charge the cell phone while you project, but the problem is that it must be connected to energy to work. the cable is supposed to be designed for samsung SIII and SII
Sorry for hijacking this thread a little bit and pardon my rant.
Not too long ago i bought a mini HDMI to HDMI cable for my Optimus 3D. But now im using 4X, I can't help but feel i've been f**king trolled by LG somewhat cause that cable i had is now utterly useless. Instead they are using this MHL cable.
i mean, why can't they put a mini HDMI port for the good of saving the planet and our wallets like what they are doing for microUSB?
I've got few questions in mind. Are they going to introduce another cable for their next line-up? Is this MHL port here to stay? Nobody wants to spend 30 bucks buying a cable and to have it put out of the picture by the time he change phone next year.

MHL will stay I guess. Mini-HDMI is actually quite useless, it is necessary to add an additional port to the phone for something that can be done using the already existing one (less places where dust can get into the device). The only problem is the high price for MHL cables (The mini-HDMI adapter for my O2X was about 3€).
Cheap and good
I use this: http://goo.gl/13LEr
Play 1080p and Netflix for HD TV very well.
I have ordered myself S2 mhl adapter that also has seperate charging port. I dont need long wire as i already have long hdmi cable connected to tv, so i just needed smaller adapter to connect to tv hdmi cable. Hope it works - mhl + charging
Check out the 1 i ordered (already shipped ) :

I bought the MHL cable shown in pic,but I am not able to use,I tried connecting the usb part to my charger,still no use:crying:
The mhl cable for the s3 does not work with the Xperia Z.
You need to get the s2 cable as pictured below.
Here is a brief review by me posted earlier today in other threads
"Ok so tried the Samsung mhl cable (for the s2)
And Works with the Xperia z.
Tv launcher loads Works fine, so does the home screen. BUT it somewhat lags scrolling through them.
Where as the Xperia s with micro hdmi Works great and smoothly.
I've tried full hd/ 1080p videos; they all run smoothly on the Xperia z via mhl
Also you must plug it into a usb port (for charging) or plug the usb into your tv for the mhl to work
Refer to pic below.
I think there is an issue with the mhl cable (compatibility maybe) or it could be an issue with tv launcher/Home screen app
Who knows maybe Sonys mhl will work better."

I tried s3 mhl usb cable on my XZ and it worked fine.

Really!?
Hmm seems odd.
I'll just wait for the official Sony one.
Any lag with the s3 one?
You root the xZ?

when I reported the issue ,the vendor gave the one below,it works great.It seems the one for S2 and note 1
i've seen a few shops that state the original "Samsung Galaxy S2 and Note 1 MHL Cable Adapter" should work BEST for the xperia z, although others will work too with it.
i don't know if there really is a difference in tech specs in these MHL Adapters, but the Samsung thing costs the same i guess, about 20 Euro.
The difference in the Galaxy S3 compatible MHL Adapter is the pin order from the Micro USB cable and it's said to be not workin with the Xperia Phones because of that.
So, I'm about to leave for a holiday for a couple of weeks, and a MHL adapter for my Z2 tablet would be nice. I see Sony has a cable, but that's like 38$ in the local story, and I can find MHL 3.0 adapter for 4-5$ on Ebay. Would any MHL 3.0 adapter work, or does it have to be the Sony cable? I see many of the brands on Ebay mention Samsung, any reason why this would not work?
If you find one that works, can you let us know either way? I am also interested in this!
I bought one from the local accessories store - works out of the box on my Z2 tab. Just ensure that it has USB power
I got a Belkin hml adapter with input for power, worked on my Philips TV atleast

It'll be MHL 1.0 most probably, not 3.0 and probably not even 2.0.
the cheap ones work...
See my response on another thread

Good morning, mhl Clable know of any, other than the original sony functioning ??
Thank you
Yeah I would like to know this as well ? I'm struggling to find MHL cables that are announced as 3.0 ones. Most of the time, they don't specify anything.
Any way to be sure to get a compatible 3.0 cable ?
I bought a cheap one on ebay
1080P-Micro-USB-MHL-to-HDMI-HDTV-CABLE-ADAPTER-For-HTC-One-M8-LG-Sony-Xperia-Z1item27e2c0cb36
cost me a fiver (GBP) and works with my Z1 Compact and my Z2 Tablet.
plugs into my older Panasonic (non-smart) HD TV.
You have to power it with micro-usb, tho'

Hello guys I'd like to share my experience, I've sold my xperia Z but left MHL adapter.
I've just bought my second Huawei P7 and without any expectation I connected it via HDMI MHL to my HD Toshiba TV and that's it, works straight away, also you need micro usb charger to plug in to mhl adapter and HDMI-HDMI cable to make it works (I used my wife's pink portable charger )
My Huawei P7 is running official kitkat B123 Emotion UI 2.3, no root, no mods at all.
MHL bought from PCWorld store UK £13.99 including 11-pin and 5-pin connector

You can stream through DLNA (P7 and all new phones support it ... evem my old Huawei G700 supports it).
No need to hurry an buy a MHL adapter
Yes, you right but my TV doesn't support DLNA, and wired connection has usually no delays too.
Do you know which version of mhl is supported??
I have a 1.0 mhl cable and it works!

Thanks for also sharing your experiences. What kind of mhl-adapter do you have? Does it have an extern energy supply?
It is a cable with 2 wires: one of them connects to the phone and the other one to an USB power supply (my TV)
