Huawei Mate 8 MHL Cable compatibility - Mate 8 Accessories

Imagine streaming youtube HD videos on your basic non-smart TV. I hope its possible with the Huawei Mate 8.
Has anyone successfully used an MHL cable to connect the Mate 8 with their HDMI TV port? If so, can you please share the cable brand as well?

that would be a nice info indeed. thus far, the only choice would be getting a chromecast i presume...

Was out of stock on MHL. When I get some in I'll test it.

Update: Tried the MHL I got in, didn't work. I'm not sure if its MHL 3.0 but it was a universal kit. I won't be able to try until a 3?0 cable until I get back.

hello , on ebay or amazon mhl to buy mlh adapter work ?

Mhl adapter

I tried the one I have from my s3, no luck. Any idea why?

Maybe because the S3 used a proprietary adapter that was 9 or 10 pins for Samsung devices only.
A standard MHL adapter is a normal 5 pin micro usb plug.
But i could be wrong.

Slimport Adapter

Has anyone used a slimport adapter to mirror the display to tv? If so what adapter are you using?
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
You can search it for amazon. May help you.
Are you able to mirror your screen without root?
I just tested my slimport adapter and it's not working at all. It charges fine with it connected, but no screen. It works fine on my nexus 5. So... I don't know what to say.

Dash Charge

Been reading it on the OPO forums that with custom roms dash charge dont work :crying:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/dash-charge-source-code-not-released.451070/
this is bad. If i cannot use dash charge with custom rom i will not buy this device.
Do you think that they will release the source code ?

Annoying, but hopefully if we get multirom, it won't be a huge issue.

They know that 99% of oneplus owners use roms. Why they take such a stupid decision?!

According to sultanxda (developer legend for OPO), implementing Dash charging would not be very hard on OP3 by utilizing driver from the similar OPPO device: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/co...ash_charging_source_code_not_released/d4ejg67
So even if OP does not eventually release this, we may not be totally screwed.
anyone compared charging current with ampere app on stock and custom?

Hopefully this isn't as difficult as it was to get fingerprint sensor working on OP2 ROMs. I read Sultan's note about Oppo headers for VOOC charging but still can't believe OnePlus push the 1+3 as being a developer friendly device and leave out the source code for one of their biggest features in dash charge. Hopefully this gets fixed soon and gets more traction from the community so OnePlus responds
Sidenote: @Grarak had dash charge working using private sources so is he simply not using that moving forward because they didn't end up releasing them/out of respect for their choice? Feel like if we have the sources once we should be good to go but I guess since it's private proprietary drivers it could be a licensing issue

I was referring specifically to the sources in the private kernel used in your first CM build which had dash charging working to my understanding and not moving forward. My question being if it is a licensing issue which has had you remove those sources or something to that effect?
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated as always and thank you for your continued efforts on OnePlus 2&3

Yes, of course it does, if you're using the stock ROM you shouldn't have a problem.

So if I do systemless root, will I still have Dash charging or will I lose it?

Not lose.

I think rather than "protecting" any sort of OPPO IP in regards to DASH/VOOC charging, it felt more like an attempt to make sure we buy their charger for fast charging. Since DASH charging does not really go up to 4A, but rather only peak around 3A at most, there really isn't any need for a special DASH charger and special cable. All you need is generic USB Type C 3A charger and regular cable... And by the secrecy around the code, I think what they fear is that we will just enable 3A fast charging whenever we see a normal USB type C with 10K resistor.

I have a tv dongle (generic, no brand) that I bought for my note 7 a year ago, functions well now with my note 8 using the samsung otg adaptor, and the " pad tv" apk from playstore
Make sure you don't have a case keeping the dongle from being fully plugged in. Other than that not sure. Guy above me has it working on his note 8.

I bought it a year ago in "mercado libre mexico", the model is: ATSC pad tv tuner pt681, by the way, make sure to connect the OTG adapter facing up, so the word "samsung" on it can be seen
Found this....
