You'll need the Micro HDMI to HDMI cable, so the first one won't do.
Mini HDMI is larger than Micro HDMI. You could also Google for the phone's specifications to see what kind of HDMI port the phone has.

I just found a MHL cable for the SGS2 on Amazon with Micro-USB to HDMI.
I have a Samsung HDTV bought about a year ago. Now i know that MHL means you can charge as well as view the phone stuff on the screen but MHL TVs have not released yet (i think, and even if they have i wont be getting one anytime soon).
So my question is can i still see the TV out if i use the MHL cable on my older TV? I know it definitely wont charge.
Anyone?? :S
yes you can.
all you need is the adapter from MHL (micro-USB) to HDMI, connect the HDMI to the TV and you are good to go.
the advantage of the original samsung adapter is the ability to connect a power cable to the adaptor and charge the phone while it transmits the picture to the TV.
hope i helped
Thanks mate
For anyone confused, an MHL cable is a Micro USB to HDMI cable - no ifs, no buts, this will transmit HDMI from a compatible MHL port. Nothing else needed (except I believe it must also be connected to power)
Your micro USB port on the bottom of your SGS2 is an MHL/USB port, and will therefore work.
Important to note is that not all micro USB ports are also MHL ports, therefore will not necessarily work on some other micro USB port on a different phone.
Hello all,
Today my micro HDMI to HDMI cable and HDMI to DVI adapter arrived. I put the lot together and attached it to my monitor, but it doesn't work... The Prime says that micro HDMI is connected when the cable with adapter is attached to the screen, but the screen doesn't pick up the signal.
I haven't tried putting the HDMI cable into a TV or so, because I have none...
btw. I'm on the latest update (.15?)
My panasonic tv didn't recognize the connection until i plugged it in to the extra hdmi port on the side of the tv. I don't know what the deal was, but I am glad it worked eventually.
Try another tv or monitor, it could be a compatibility issue.
Hi XDA,
Does anyone know of any phone(s) that have both:
-HDMI out (preferably micro HDMI port and not MHL)
-USB OTG/Host capability
The reason I ask is because I would like to use a wired 360 controller with the OnLive gaming app while outputting to an HDTV.
Thanks.
Hi,
did you look on Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro?
I have it and it surely has HDMI port - probably the micro HDMI as I got a cable with normal HDMI on one side and some mini connector on the other one.
According to some sources it should also have usb host, but I have it only few days and did not have time to test it yet.
Does ICS not support DIV-I/D out? When I ran a different tablet with HoneyComb, HDMI out to a DIV-D projector, it worked just fine.
I've been running an assortment of cables and adaptors with confusing results.
The base line was my original tablet (no longer available for testing) which had Honeycomb and a full HDMI out. I have an HDMI to DIV-D cable that ran to my BenQ W100 Projector and worked fine.
Introduce the Prime with it's Micro HDMI and I've tried the following...
Micro HDMI to Standard HDMI adapter - HDMI to DIV-D cable - *Fail*
Micro HDMI to DIV-D adapter - DIV-D to DIV-D cable *Fail*
Micro HDMI to VGA Adapter - VGA to VGA (to a different projector) *Works*
My W100 doesn't have VGA, but the work projector does (but no DIV-D connection).
I don't have a wide enough assortment (or consistent enough) to eliminate variables and pin down the exact point of failure.
I also spent a fair amount of time searching the forum and google, but not finding this exact issue.
Thoughts?
Nil success for me as well.
Tried micro hdmi to hdmi to hdmi coupler to hdmi to dvi; and,
Micro hdmi to hdmi to hdmi/dvi converter.
Hi,
I understand that the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is one of the first to have MHL 3.0 (Along with the Z2 Phone) however is there any adapter out at the moment to put this onto to your TV yet?
Is this something that a universal adapter will sort? Is it something I need to wait for Sony to release?
Cheers.

For me, the Samsung MHL does Not Work physically. A third party Adapter From HAMA does Not Work on the Sony, but on the SGS4
I'm Waiting for the Sony MHL to become available now...
I bought this one and it works with my z2 tablet: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...o-mhl-adapter-rf-g1171-rf-g1171/10214468.aspx

So, seeing I get my Z2 tomorrow, also ask if anybody has tried the MHL to HDMI adapters. Seems a limited choice here where I live, so asking for some additional input.
Seems I can get the official Sony IM750 MHL Adapter, however it doesn't mention the Tablet compatibility, only phones.
I bought a cheap mhl v1 cable that works fine. It just crops the bottom of the screen off on the TV http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281294982152
It has to have a micro usb to power it, but most tvs or dvd players have a spare usb port to power the adapter.

Thanks for the link. I suppose it would come down to whether the TV USB would transmit power via USB, but in the worst case, one could carry a USB charger (seeings I have several of those laying around )
All usb ports supply 5v at 0.3amps min as long as the TV etc is on. Even if it's a diagnostic only usb port it's still enough current.
