MHL/HDMI? - Moto X Q&A

has motorola confirmed or denied MHL support for the Moto X? i was just about to get an HDMI compatible car stereo to replace my god awful mirror link unit, but i realized that the X might night support it.. now i may have to wait another year for a miracast unit :: sigh ::

i would like to know this also. i dont own a mhl adapter other wise i would test it myself.

The GSM Arena review stated that MHL works on it, but I haven't heard from anywhere else.

I saw this too, but I have a hard time believing it.

still no verification of this working or not. i know that review said it would but i would rather see users here say it does lol.

I attempted to use it, and it didn't work.
However, the MHL cable I'm using is a cheap eBay one I bought a year or so ago, and it was always spotty anyway. I might buy a proper cable and try again, because I am also very interested in it.

I have an MHL adapter that I've been using with my Rezound since day one, and I can't get it to work with my Moto X. Not sure if there's an option or a config I'm missing, but I've been over every inch of the settings dialogues and can't get HDMI output from this Moto X. VZW, for the record.

The moto x has wireless display, I guess no HDMI but you can view movies & pictures through the wireless display settings, my guess

The X doesn't support MHL or Slimport, but as Flash mentioned, it does wireless display via Mracast. Miracast mirrors your entire screen, but with slight latency, so don't expect to game on the big screen with it. Browsing the web, videos and music are fine though.

Working at the Samsung store, I have lots of access to MHL cables and compatible TVs. Something interesting happens when I plug the phone into the television. It shuts off. I turn it back on, and before it can finish boot it shuts off again. I unplug it from the TV, power on and it boots normally.
This leads me to believe that there was at least an intention for MHL at some point but it was never fully implemented.

No MHL support for the Moto X. You'll need a miracast adapter.

(Here's a ) USB to Tab charging cable that actually works!

I have been sent a USB to USB cable to try by PowerTraveller as i was having trouble charging my Tab from their eXtreme battery pack. I have now tried it on the battery pack and just as importantly from regular USB ports (on my work PC).
It actually works!
Go here for the cable:

My pic of it as it's so new they haven't put one on the site yet:

I bought a bunch of these:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-power-adapter-for-samsung-p1000-81753
And these work great. Works with any USB port.
Only thing it's charging only no data.
I have one of these little adapters, can use andy micro usb cable to charge, again no data, but can also use micro usb car chargers, and those for other phones, blackberries etc.
The connection's a little precarious, but that could just be mine, that and it was like $3 or something..
Thought i might drill a hole in it, make a keyring..
Superb !
Great to her about this accessories I just hope soon I will be able to get some kind of video connection for my GT-P1010, along with a kernel/rom that can send power as well as video signal to the usb connector that comes with the tab !
Am I asking to much here?, well dont know yet, time will tell, for now I just keep searching. Cheers to you all
And on top of all these, Im looking to buy another tablet (dont know which one yet!) and will give the P1010 to my mom who is fascinated with the device

Can someone confirm whether or not these adapters allow other usb devices besides the Tab to charge in AC mode?

just ordered one of these, we'll see how well it works in a couple weeks I guess.. Thanks!
i think i'll order one of each (in the posts above), you never can have too many chargers! (it'll be nice to have both charging and data in the same cable.) I bought a few diff ones from amazon that were for charging, but they only charge if you use the wall charger, won't charge off the laptop no matter what i try.
yeah, i like to have at least 3 cables.. 1 for home, 1 for work, and 1 to carry around/travel with..

no we need it then say why iphone doesn't have wireless charger and I read it in many articles
You can get wireless chargers for the iPhone but not built in, you need to buy a case that has wireless charging capabilities. The only reason NFC would be used would be for proximity reasons so it doesn't sit there trying to charge thin air but NFC is not used to charge the phone.

But what about induction process and thanks
No wirles charger exists?
Not possible on this Phone?
Possible, but requires a bit of dexterity... video
Okay guys,
If you want a wireless charger, you can make it by yourself with only $2
Wireless charging is a simple technology, I know it because I'm working for a research institute
However, you must pay more money for "good-looking" accessories, with only $2, your accessories will be very "ugly" (they look "ugly" in my eyes)
Maybe wireless charging is not done via NFC
Hi,
I just Qi-enabled my gt-i8190n with an "Universal Wireless Charger Receiver for Micro-USB Cellphone" from dx.com (SKU 312818). It doesn't fit all that well. The cord is a bit long and the receiver unit blocks the flash... But it charges. Wirelessly.
Today I also noticed that they have an Qi charger made for SGS3 mini (SKU 337290). I'll order that too to se how it fits...
Then you just need to add a protective case of your choice.
Sorry for advertising dx, but that is the only store I have found to sell Qi-receiver for SGS3 mini. :/ (okay, sometimes you can find these in ebay too)

[Q] Usb OTG and MHL?

Aun updates on this one?
I think OTG is supported but I really want to know if MHL works and if I need any special adapter or just any I get from eBay or DX should work.
I'm about to get one of these babes next week.
Noone's trying this?
The other day I used a OTG cable and connected a pendrive. It didn't work and I didn't have time to try some app
I've used OTG with the Meenova. Works great. Automounts as /storage/usbdisk_1.1.1 for some reason. It mounts READ ONLY by default. Root users can modify this (search for the thread about using Titanium Backup to backup to the Meenova for details).
I'll Try MHL tonight and let you know...
MHL is not supported on our Moto X - use Miracast instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425216
The "MHL Consortium" site doesn't list any Motorola products as compatible: http://www.mhltech.org/productlist/mobile-devices/
The PDF link is currently dated Oct-18-2013: http://www.mhltech.org/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=5055
Since I don't currently have any Miracast supported viewing devices, I can't answer to how well that works...
My TV supports WiFi direct "Screen share" but Miracast doesn't work. Believe it's on the TV's side as I can sen and recieve the invite either way, and connect. But the TV never shows up under the "Displays" screen. Working with LG (giving them a hard time) to release a firmware update since it's 99% there. Might have to get a dong though.....

Anyway, I was curious about this myself; I had a N4 before I got the moto x and was in the market for either a slimport or miracast adapter.

Lol...I had to! Yeah, I'm hoping they release a firmware update to fix it. LG has been pretty good with updates to fix some of the little issues. And the fact they are pushing it big on all their newer TV's. Gonna give it awhile, hopefully I won't be force to by a dong.:laugh:

Desktop mode?

Has anyone gotten desktop mode working? I haven't been able to with any adapter that worked with my mate 10 pro...
Yeah works using a cheap Amazon usb c to hdmi for me..
Yep, cheapest USB-HDMI that I could find on Amazon worked fine.
Yep £10 adapter from Amazon works a charm although one thing I've noticed is that Excel/Word will not work on there without a 365 licence which is a little annoying.
I got it working using an amazon adaptor but the quality of the picture is very suspect for me. Looking at some really nice photos I have taken on there doesn't do them any justice really.

It's most likely because you're viewing on a 1080/4K monitor and not the phones native resolution which is what it outputs at. (Pretty daft if you ask me) Also someone mentioned if viewing on a TV that changing the input settings of the HDMI to PC improves quality too.

Most of the apps including Microsoft excel mobile do not work in landscape mode in Huawei desktop mode. Not sure what is the plan from Huawei to close the gap of compatibility issue.

Allrighty... Guess I was trying to be too fancy by using USB C docks. Though they worked on the Mate.

I wanted to do something like this, so that the phone gets docked into an already setup dock (HDMI/USB Mouse Keyboard) rather than just plugged in to a wire. But couldn't see anything that would fit the bill. Considering making something myself to solve the problem
I'm using something similar to this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARKTEK-Cha...F8&qid=1525091973&sr=8-24&keywords=usb+c+hdmi
and thinking of modifying this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Youbeautif...=1525092036&sr=1-5&keywords=clear+phone+stand
So would be a case of mounting the USB C port through the bottom of the stand and then fixing the ports themselves to the bottom base of it.

Does Realme X2 Pro Support HDMI Out

Hi There,
Wanting to know if the Realme X2 Pro supports Video Output through the use of a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
Thanks
I just tested it, and it does not work.
From what I understand, it has USB 3.0 and not 3.1 needed for HDMI out.

I bought one from marktplaats, a Dutch platform where you can buy used products. I use a HP traveldock. It is sadly very bad, as it mirrors your screen and it has an awfull screen ratio. You will have really big black bars on your monitor, giant! Sorry for my late response, but I hope I helped
could you please share url for that specific display link product ?
