I currently have a Note edge and have been looking at edge+ and note 5. I've seen a few post on xda stating that neither phone supports MHL 3.0 is this true, also do they still support OTG? I can deal without MHL due to chomecast and screen mirroring but I have to have OTG support especially since they ditched micro SD. Can anyone confirm both for me thanks.
Otg works fine
Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about this phone, but my first priority is to be able to connect it via cable with my Pioneer AppRadio (I know there is miracast, chromecast etc - been there, tried both, sound quality with compression is really low).
As this device has USB 3.1 - would any adapter work?
I can't seem to find exact answers if all usb 3.1 type-c devices support hdmi out (or some sort of mhl).
Thanks
I'm also interested in this. Did anyone check if MHL or Slimport is working on Z2 pro?
Hi,
After looking in this site http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_zuk_z2-8125.php, i can see that this is a usb 2 adapter with a type-c connector.
They also don't mention mhl/hdmi so this means that it is probably not supported.
I don't think there is any relation between usb and mhl or hdmi.
Hope this helps.
I did read somewhere it only supports wifi direct as display output but I can not find my source
It can work, because we can have it with USB 3.1, but we need drivers/settings inside a kernel and custom rom.
I have a usb 3.1 type C module who give me charge, usb 3.0 port and hdmi port, actually, only USB 3.0 port work.
The point is , it's getting harder and harder to find a good phone with 4/4+ GB RAM with video out support. No one really knows why they're moving away from this tech even if it's cheap and easy to implement. Some people say they're trying to promote wireless connectivity, others say having those powerful phones support video out will eventually prevent people from buying entry-level laptops. Anyhow, it's weird. If you know of any device with 4 or more GB of RAM (Sony's devices excluded) that support video out, please let us know!
HTC 10 and LG G5 both support HDMI out.

I forgot to exclude LG too. After G2, their flagships are a disappointment, one way or another.
Anyway, thanx for the info, I didn't know HTC 10 supports it.

I'm looking for an MHL adapter for the Axon Pro that actually works.
There are too many around that are questionable that they even work.
The ZTE Axon Pro has so damn many nice options and features.
I would love to take this adapter to friends or relatives TV that have no Chromecast or Miracast, to show pictures or videos.
Has anyone gotten their Axon Pro to work with an MHL adapter?
If so, please provide a link for it.
Thanks in advance.
I bought Icy Box to USB C to HDMI adapter. Plugged it in but nothing happens. It says it works with alternate mode, whatever that is.
Is the Axon 7 MHL capable ?
Hello, can someone try a usb-c to HDMI adapter with the Oppo Reno please ?
Oppo has added USB-C to HDMI support on Oppo R17 Pro and RX17 Pro with ColorOS 5.2 so it should work with Oppo Reno but still no proof

Oppo Reno 10X works with USB-C to HDMI adapters (link below) so it should work also with Oppo Reno, can someone confirm ?

I did! But I have bad news... It doesn't do anything when connected to the TV via a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
I did some searching for you and it seems that in order for it to work, the device needs to have MHL hardware support which the Reno does not.
A full list of devices with MHL support can be found here:

Thank you for trying ! Which adapter did you use ? Isn't it faulty ? Does it work with another smartphone, tablet or laptop ?
MHL is dead because it use micro USB, not USB-C, the last device with MHL was Galaxy Note 4, now it's video out over USB-C, it's already integrated in Snapdragon SOCs but the smartphone need to have USB 3.0 not 2.0 and software support need to be added from the smartphone maker.
It's weird that it's not working on Oppo Reno with Snapdragon 710 because it works on Oppo RX17 Pro with same Snapdragon 710 https://www.facebook.com/opposingapore/videos/coloros-52-screen-streaming/345614832677862/ , also on Oppo Reno 10x Zoom with Snapdragon 855 https://forum.xda-developers.com/reno-10x-zoom/help/oppo-reno-10x-supports-hdmi-usb-3-1-t3936891

You clearly know more than I do on the topic! Ha. Nope, it's not faulty as I use it with my HP Spectre laptop and it works fine.
The adapter I'm using is this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DCQY25Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So not like it's some cheapo one.
Am I supposed to initiate the screen share within the phones OS do you know? I simply plugged it in like I do my laptop and nothing happened on either the phone or TV

I looked the customer reviews of your USB-C Hub on the amazon link and some people tried it with their smartphone (like the Mate 20 Pro) and it's working so it should work with all Android smartphones with USB-C to HDMI support. I don't understand why Oppo RX17 Pro with Snapdragon 710 and Android 8 is compatible with HDMI but Oppo Reno with Snapdragon 710 and Android 9 is not compatible. On many Android phones you simply have to plug it in and it mirrors on the TV instantly so it should be the same on Oppo, but if there is an option it should be called "Screen Streaming" on Oppo, can you see an option to activate this or any other "external display or mirroring" option maybe in the display settings ? I doubt about it but who knows ?

Yeah it's an odd one I'll give you that! And all the screen share options in the settings relate to wireless sharing and not wired.
I even tried my wife's Pixel 2 and while I can't work out how to get it to share the screen via the USB C to HDMI adapter, the TV does recognise it when I plug it in... Which isn't the case when I plug the Reno in.
Sooooo... Seems it's not supported in afraid

So there is a screen streaming option in the settings but only wireless settings ? It seems like Oppo didn't add USB-C to HDMI support or maybe it only has USB 2.0 unlike Oppo RX17 Pro and Oppo Reno 10x zoom, but USB version is'nt written anywhere even on the official Oppo Reno website page https://www.oppo.com/en/smartphone-reno/specs I will ask on Oppo's Facebook page and post here as they answer. The Pixel smartphones are nearly the only high-end Snapdragon 8xx smartphones with USB 3.0 that are not compatible with USB-C to HDMI adapters, Google disabled it on purpose because they want you to buy chromecast but they are wireless and so huge input lag in comparison to wired HDMI adapter and chromecast are even not usefull anymore on smart TVs because they already have built-in wireless smartphone screen streaming. Again, thank you for trying it @sheppy1 ! :good:

Yeah that's correct, here's what I see (screenshot attached).
DLNA and Multi Screen Interaction both onot allow wireless connectivity to supported TVs
Ah! That sounds right hence the TV detected the Pixel but didn't allow for anything to be streamed to it.
Let me know how you get on with your query to OPPO anyway and if you need anything else from me.
And you're welcome :laugh:
I tried it with the Reno 10x zoom. It works but doesn't support Netflix or some other apps. Looks geest works great except Netflix what really sucks. I tried everythimg there is to trie but cant het Netflix to work.
Hello, can someone try a usb-c to HDMI adapter with the Vivo Nex 3 please ?
This flagship has high-end specs like Snapdragon 855+, 4500mAh, 44W fast charging and even a jack port, so does it also work with USB-C to HDMI adapters ? Also it will get Android 10 update so it would be great if it has HDMI out for Android 10 desktop mode !
Thank you guys
Hi i tried...with Android 10....not working....shame... I don't understand why....it would be so cool... Miracast or others ways of connection without wires are getting down the quality.... So bad
