[Q] HDMI adapter issue (MHL)

Hi,
I just received an OEM Micro USB to HDMI adapter today.
I connected my Note to the adapter and then to the HDMI cable of my TV.
Unfortunately there is no HDMI signal on the TV side.
Now, I don't know howto activate TV output on the Note. I don't even know if that's possible.
Can anyone guide me on how to activate HDMI output on the Galaxy Note ?
Should I make any settings ?
Should I play a video ? (or would it give out video from HDMI even at home screen ?)
Should I power the phone and/or the HDMI adapter through USB ?
Thanks.

Connect HDMI cable to MHL adapter, and other end into TV. (duh...)
Plug your charger cable into the MHL adapter. (output won't work without this)
Plug your MHL adapter into Note. (no configuring required!)
Everything you do on your Note will be mirrored on your TV/Screen, at the Note's native 1280x800 resolution. Plain and simple!
Video's that are played via the MHL adapter will be played at their own native resolution, up to and including 1080p.
Enjoy!

thank you.
it doesn't work unfortunately.
maybe my adapter is not working but it passes power through USB.
how can I understand if it really doesn't pass HDMI ?

It's possible that you have a faulty adapter. It should just be plug and play, but you have to make sure that the adapter is receiving external USB power in order for it to work.

ok; it works now.
the micro USB connector was not fully connected...
thanks.

Similar issue
Hi, me to facing similar issue. The MHL adapter when connected does not show any notification on the screen. The only thing it does is charging the phone. Does it mean its a faulty adapter?
i hope i am answering my own question but still if there is anything which i may be missing here

and what rom and kernel are you on ?

I'm on stock running ICS and I get funky results, sometimes it works for a minute or two sometimes just a few seconds. The problem seems to be on the TV, a Sony Bravia, the HDMI setting has to be Wide for picture quality (it has zoom, smart zoom, wide, 16:9 and 4:3) but as soon as there is some glitch in receiving data from the phone the TV begins to scroll through those settings to regain a signal and I can't force a setting on wide for the HDMI connector, only for one of the SCART connectors.
The frustrating part is that it works flawlessly when I connect an Asus Transformer. Could it be the MHL's USB connector? If that is the case how can I check it?

Just in case anyone relooks this up.
Connect everything. Then REBOOT PHONE/NOTE. The TV will then detect it auto.
Hope this helps someone !!

It didnt help me... my sony bravia 32" tv just wont show the gnote's video. the same adapter works fine on my samsung 32" tv but not on the sony. I have even upgarded the sony tv's firmware too. tried changing to "Wide Zoom" settings and other things but still no video showing, although the tv does know there is something plugged in to HDMI port 1.
Anyone else got ideas?

lol, just don't try that any sony device to work together with another samsung device, this is a general rule for electronic trademarks.
*Frankly my friend, I lost a complete day trying my sony ericcson bt handset to work with my note, no success at all, so, I just bought a samsung one and everything gone well.

that sux, bluetooth is a standard and im sure there are no variants... they are cheap, so i will buy another one from ebay and see if it is bcos of the adpater and not the TV.

[Q]Howto connect the i9000 to the pc screen?

Hi guys,
been a passive viewer in the xda forums for a long time but never posted anything, so be easy on me - It's my first.
I would like to connect my galaxy s i9000 to the pc screen.
I know there's the TV out option, but it involves a 3.5" to RCA cable, and pc screens don't have RCA jacks.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? and if you know what kind of cable is required that will be great.
I'm using the CM9 rom, build 17 from theam hacksung.
Just to clarify, I want to connect to phone to the PC so I can view the phone on the PC screen.
Thanks in advance

Short answer is you can't.
Longer answer is you might.
Your monitor doesn't have RCA connectors but if you have a tuner installed inside your PC, you might be able to connect it to that and then use the software that came with the tuner to display it onto your monitor.
Another method would be to use a RCA to whatever input your display has converter but they are are usually pricey and after a search for RCA to HDMI/VGA/DVI I don't think they really exist.
Even if there was a 3.5mm to HDMI/VGA/DVI cable, it wouldn't work unless the display was designed to take a PAL or NTSC signal through those types of connections.
With cm9, you need to have 3.5mm to RCA cable plugged in then go into System Settings>Advanced>TV Out. The option is greyed out when no 3.5mm to RCA cable is plugged in and the option has to be checked every time you plug the cable in.

Thanks for the reply,
I knew about the tv-out option, but didn't think about using a tuner - that might work!
Another question, do you think that a micro usb - hdmi cable might work?
I saw a while back that samsung offered such a cable that was designed for that purpose exactly.
I've searched a lot of forums but havn't got a clear answer if this actually works, not have I seen a youtube video demonstrating this.
Does anyone know if using a micro usb - hdmi cable wokrs?

Do you know what tuner you have? I'm not sure if yours will have it but there will be a yellow plug like the ones you find on a TV.
I'm %99.9 sure that the I9000 doesn't have HDMI out through USB. It would seem a bit excessive to have two video out ports. Although you did spark an interesting subject, if someone could whip together drivers to work with something like this we could potentially have HDMI through USB but I don't see it happening any time soon.
Here's another way to view your phone through your PC: http://mymobiler.com/

OnePlus 3T out video to monitor via hdmi

I want to connect a 27 inch monitor or projector.
From the official support says (ticket #770598, from Sky) that phone 3T supports out video via HDMI
I understand that you wanted to know if OnePlus 3T supporte USB to HDMI. I can provide you with the information that you needed.
I would like to inform you that OnePlus 3T supports HDMI as long as it is connected to the OTG cable/ converter.

Phone have usb type c version 2.
My questions:
1. This phone is really support hdmi alt mode? I don't see the image HDMI (or DisplayPort or Thunderbolt) alternat mode on the box.
2. If (1) is true. Any cable good for me? Ex. usb type c multiport adapter from apple store or necessarily with OTG?
3. How big is the latency video of through miracast (ex. ezcast)? If connect mouse and watch on cursor movement.

I tried this yesterday with a USB C to Hdmi adapter I got off Amazon and I had no luck connecting to the monitor.

Thans for the reply
I think they sold me a dud
Phone not supports MHL and other alt. mode

II wonder if a driver could be put into a ROM to support it via USB OTG since it doesn't support MHL?
I have an old external sound card, a Creative Xmod, that works perfectly with my roommates USB C, OTG adaptor.

I think because it is not implemented in hardware in the phone

If I'm correct Display Port alternate output requires USB Type-C 3.1 since the phone supports only 2.0 it shouldn't work. However not many phones utilise this feature even Google Pixel doesn't use this mode

Video out works fine on the 3T but only with Displaylink adapters. (So far anyway)
I have one and can confirm it definitely works either via HDMI or HDMI to DVI (I've tried both)
I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N40RQV4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but any displaylink adapter or dock will work. (Make sure it very specifically says dispaylink, check the displaylink website if you aren't sure)
The only note is that displaylink says the Ethernet ports on the docks do not work with android.
(I suspect they might work on devices that support a regular Ethernet adapter though, I haven't been able to get a normal Ethernet adapter working on my oneplus 3t though for what that's worth.)
you will also need the displaylink app from the playstore though it does not have to be running.
if any of you have experience using an external Audio DAC with USB Audioplayer pro the process is very similar.
Once you plug the monitor in, a pop up will ask if you want to let the displaylink app control the adapter and if you hit "ok" it does the rest automatically.

Does the phone charge while connected to the DisplayLink adapter?

Just try with Chromecast or anything else with Mirascreen option

Does it work with Anker Premium USB-C Mini-Dock
Hi there everybody:
Have anyone tried to connect a dock like the Anker Premium USB-C Mini-Dock, Does OP3T work for charge and to view the USB ports of the dock? May be HDMI and Ethernet doesn't work but for me the matter is the chargue and the USB ports to connect an external DAC, a microsd and a pendrive. Regards.

HDMI Output over USB Type C

Hey folks,
has anyone tested a USB Type C to HDMI-cable to project the Screen on a TV or monitor? On my Samsung S8 and LG G5 it works flawlessly, but on the P10 it only show the charging option for the cable
Is the cable the problem or does Huawei not support this? i couldn´t find any official info from Huawei about it.

Hello,
I don't think you can project from USB to HDMI BBY default. Unless there is some kind on emulation driver on your phone (which would require root). My advise, to achieve what you looking for, get a Google Chromecast and your good to go.

After trying multiple hdmi to type c adapters by now i came to the same conclusion. Unfornuately lg und samsung have that functionalty.
Chromecast is only good for certain things, if you watch videos it´s too delayed or might not even function depending on the size and format of the videofile.
As i travel much, it would have been nice to plugin the cable into the tv of the hotel to watch some movies on my phone and not all tv´s in hotels have chromecast functionality.
I hope huawei will implent this functions in next firmwareupdates or so, cause the mate 10 has that function exclusively (for now).

The difference is that G5 and S8 has USB 3.0/3.1 standard with USB type-C connector while P10 has old USB 2.0 with USB type-C connector.
You can check the specifications at gsmarena.com
BTW, Galaxy S5 has USB 3.0 with microUSB connector
Such a pity :/

USB-C to HDMI?

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.

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.

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.

LUHCCAS-X10
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).

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

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.
