I brought a MHL to HDMI adapter and I do not get a picture from it with my i9305 LTE
When I connect/disconnect I get a toast message to say HDMI connected/disconnected. and the phone charges.
When I connect a i9300 phone to the HDMI adapter it works OK.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Some early ones (9300) are wired differently and our 9305 will not work
Is there a specific adapter for the i9305 or have they removed the functionality

11-pin MHL-HDMI Adapter/Dongle
The Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II use a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously. (Note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB On-The-Go port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III/ Note 2 can power the MHL-HDMI adapter (when used with a non-MHL-compatible-TV). Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

OK so I checked and the model I have is 11 pin
EPL-3FHUBEGSTD
Which is the one you linked too.
Have you checked the USB debugging in advanced settings
I just checked mine today for the first time since I bought it from Amazon about 2 weeks ago. Cost me £9 - works fine. Although sometimes, it does lag a bit.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A2OBO6S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I have tried with USB debugging on and off. Its usually on for dev purposes.
I spoke to Samsung who suggested I have a faulty MHL.
I have just had another thought though. I am running Nova Launcher, maybe touchwiz is required. I will give it another try tomorrow.
I was right, change back to touchwiz and the HDMI adapter works.
Thanks for the help
Do hdmi works on aosp custom rom?
no Samsung mhl is proprietary the 11 pins make it unique compared to standard mhl ports. as far as I know I have not heard of any aosp rom that has mhl enabled or working
Any luck?
Can anyone recommend a cheap mhl hdmi adapter from eBay?
Hi all.
I have used a MHL cable with my Xperia T ever since I got it.
With the original firmware, it would work fine with a basic HDMI cable and pretty much any TV with a HDMI input.
I've just been on holiday for 2 wks and discovered on day 2 that the latest firmware had a different MHL driver that requires HDCP. Apart from needing a newer spec cable, I also need a TV which supports HDCP - which the one at the holiday home didn't. My 5 year old was not impressed with not being able to watch any of his films for 2 wks!
So, anyone know of a way of getting back to a state where MHL is more user friendly? (Without having to rip back to earlier firmware.)
Seems mad Sony would force the feature since a lot of TVs don't support HDCP.
After no responses and my own continuing investigations I've solved my own problem and thought I'd post the outcome in case anybody else has a similar issue...
The MHL functionality works fine if both the TV and the cable are pre-HDCP. The problem I must've actually had was that the TV was HDCP compliant but my cable isn't HDMI v1.3+ (so didn't support HDCP.)
Basically, the solution to the problem I was experiencing is to use a HDCP compliant cable in all cases. That way it'll work on HDCP compliant and older spec TVs regardless. My confusion was caused by the message the phone prompted, which said the TV had to support HDCP - when in fact it did and the cable was the problem!
I've been unable to make it work.) the phone enters MHL mode but the TV (tried several different tvs and protectors) doesn't show any image.
I'm I the only one?
Cheers
Worked for me with a HP MHL Enabled monitor. Just be sure the input is marked MHL ready. Not all HDMIs on a device are MHL Enabled. THere was some scanning, manual for my monitor as i kept the connection to the workstation alive while connecting another device (the phone). You can try a different ROM from XDA. I see it mostly as a software issue. The phone needs to start some services when connecting.

Thanks for your answer.
My old galaxy S4 and S3 worked flawlessly. With the M8 I've tried 3 different adapters on 2 tvs and one projector and it just doesn't work. I didn't know that the TV had to be MHL compatible, never heard about that before, are you absolutely sure? Isn't hdmi a universal thing? I've tried custom ROMs, same thing. I don't get it.
Cheers
I think the adapters for Samsung and HTC are different. There are 5-pin adapters for the HTC and 11-pin for the Samsung and there isn't backward compatibility I think. You should check this first.

Has anyone tried a USB-C to HDMI lead on the Nokia 8?
Does it work? And if it does which lead are you using.

So glad that it is supported on this device. Many vendors are killing this feature for some reason.
It's a pain in the a** to check if a new device has it nowdays.
Thank you!! :good:

Well, we don't all have Macbook Pro docks so does it work without that?
I bought a USB-C to HDMI cable today but I can't get it to work – are there any settings (or apps?) that I'd need to change/install to get this to work?
I just want to be able to plug my phone into a TV and play videos when I'm in hotels or away from home etc.
I'm new to both Android and the Nokia 8 so maybe I'm just missing something that's obvious?
(The most annoying thing is that it works perfectly on my old Nokia Lumia 950XL Windows Phone.)

Still didn't get the phone yet...
From what I know the native support works with USB-C portable adapters with a HDMI port. Don't know about the cable ones.
I have this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZTRI42/, and it's working well with the native support of the HTC U11, still don't know about Nokia 8 though
I've contacted Nokia customer care and that's their official answer regarding this matter:
"Thank you for contacting Nokia Mobile Care!
We would like to inform you that the Nokia 8 does not support video out through the USB type C neither the HDMI. If you want to connect the phone to the TV please try to buy the chromecast to cast the device to the TV.
We hope that the above information is useful for you! If not, or if you have another question, please feel free to contact us again.
Best regards,
Nokia Mobile Care "
Are you sure that the Nokia 8 can cast its screen though a macbook pro dock to an external display through HDMI @Luhccas-X10 ?
I have a dodcool usb c hub and hdmi does not work on 8.1
I got my Nokia 8 today and tried a USB-C to HDMI cable I used on my old HTC U11 and unfortunately it does not work.
I'm very much doubting that the Nokia 8 has this ability.
Well today I tried a macbook dock and no joy, seems pretty conclusive that it doesnt work
I'm pleased to confirm that Displaylink works with Nokia 8! I used this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01B5RN9ZY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In theory any Displaylink hub or cable should work, note that you need to connect to the phone via a USB host cable e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01GKS2HCE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This should work on most devices with a USB port, for me it works on my Kindle HD and Laptop too should its a useful thing to have anyway.
I got the info from a thread for the OnePlus 5T so more info in there:

Well, very odd!
I tried a Displaylink-based hub myself with a Nokia 8 and it didn't work for me just like the regular adapters (which all of them, including the Displaylink one, worked with my HTC U11).
So, please elaborate about what you did. Is it a plug & play process? Did you do anything special to make it work for you?
By the way, I tried it with this Dell hub (which is Displaylink based on http://www.displaylink.com/products/find?vid_hdmi=1):
http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/acce...note_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=1&~ck=dellSearch
So firstly you need to have the displaylink app installed on your phone, apart from that you should just have to plug it in - the app will then prompt you to start showing your screen which you say OK to and that's it.
However... I found that the vast majority of the time it just simply doesn't work. Every time the device has a notification to say a device it connected and drawing power but very rarely will the displaylink actually work. I literally had to connect and disconnect the device around 100 times on some attempts before it works, sometimes fewer but the weird thing is once its connected and working, I can remove it and plug it back in and it will work straight away.
Its a really strange issue which I don't understand, it cant be the cable as it works consistently but only after getting it to work that first time. I'm thinking there may be a bug with the 8.1 firmware as another forum mentioned the maximum charge amp is reduced in 8.1. Another forum mentioned that on the Xperia XZ Premium display link only works with external power to the displaylink hub so perhaps its drawing to draw too much power and its just a fluke that it occasionally will work. Unfortunately I tried to connect external power to my hub and blew it so I can't test any further
I've tried the same setup on a Galaxy S7 Edge and that worked every time, no issue so it must be something strange with the device OR the adaptor used to convert the displaylink hub from USB to USB C.

You fraud. I bought my Nokia 8 on the basis of your post. Because you decided to post this BS, and then made a prompt exit from this thread.
Now I am stuck with it. With this phone and with no ability to hook it up to my projector without unacceptable levels of latency through Chromecast or some such.
I even wasted money on this USB-C to HDMI cable (Thunderbolt 3 compatible), that doesn't work.
My only hope now is this DisplayLink setup. Any more news on it?
I messaged LUHCCAS and they said this is what they used: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...a741666&transAbTest=ae803_4&priceBeautifyAB=0
Although they didn't specify which. None of them say they use displayport but I guess its possible, if so then perhaps they are not a fraud.
I have ordered a new displaylink hub so I will let you know if that works more consistently than the other one I tried.
Sounds good, please update the thread if you get the Hub. I want to use the Nokia with my Car Radio via HDMI (Appradio Unchained)
Displaylink adapter support
I'm happy to confirm that I managed to get the Nokia 8 connected to a TV using a DisplayLink adapter. :victory:
It's working pretty good (both image and sound) as long as the DisplayLink presenter app is installed.
From the first couple of minutes with it I didn't experience any issues that @jamhtcman mentioned and it's working very well at any time that I plug in the adapter to the phone (without an external power source).
Link to the adapter that I'm using:
- Link is broken -
Side note: You'll need to buy a separated USB 3.0 to USB-C OTG cable because the adapter in the box is too thick for most of the cases

Oh, and by the way, the hub that I've tested on my quoted post from before wasn't a DisplayLink hub after all. Hence, it didn't work.

Awesome news, awesome :good:
BTW does it charge your phone while your phone is plugged in?
Also this is probably a bit of a specific question to pose; but by any chance have you checked whether the phone outputs just 2-channels of sound (stereo) through the displaylink adapter, or does it output however many are in the source material (e.g. 5.1 channels if you play a video file with a 5.1. surround sound audio track).

No option to charge the phone while casting I'm afraid.
Moreover, I can't tell about the sound cause I don't have any TV and AVR that supports 5.1 channels sound though an hdmi port.
As the M5 Lite uses a USB C port (with USB 2 speeds according to reviews) I'm curious as to whether there is a USB C OTG dongle/hub/dock that works with this device? Has anyone tested this?
If not - I have ordered 3 dongles and a hub to test and will report back. Thought it might be useful for the wider community to be informed, whilst also inquiring myself.

To answer my own question - USB hub works fine, usb dongles also work - it seems the USB C connector is standard from this side of things. I've not tested HDMI out as don't have a HDMI adaptor.

Hi. Which adapter works for you? I bought one on Amazon usb/sd/hdmi to USB-C and it didn't worked for my Huawei M5 lite 10 but it worked on a Samsung A 2018. Also does the hdmi adapter work, have you tried it? Thanks
Hello.
I just bought the M5 Lite, seems to work great. For the USB interface, I have a usb hub which works fine with the tablet: it has 3 USB ports, and I am able to simultaneously access a USB drive, as well as use a logitech wireless keyboard dongle allowing use of BOTH wireless keyboard and mouse. However the newest hub which I bought specifically to use with this tablet, a "FitFort" type-C hub pro, does NOT work with this tablet(although it does work with my Xiaomi telephone.) Therefore it seems that this tablet and hub are incompatible... The Fitfort hub power light does not even light up when plugged into the M5 Lite...This is dissapointing since the Fitfort Hub has an HDMI port which was the main feature I wanted to try out. I have researched HDMI output for the M5 Lite but have not yet found anyone claiming the HDMI output will work from the M5 Lite. By the way, although this Fitfort hub works fine with my Xiaomi phone(for UDB drives and dongles), the HDMI port does not work for this Xiaomi phone.
As for M5 Lite HDMI output, anyone having success with this please post info. Thanks
