I would recommend taking a look at the Nexus 4 Slim Port HDMI adapter (http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/12/11/nexus-4-slimport-adapter-review-micro-usb-to-hdmi/). The adapter allows you to connect your Nexus 4 to a monitor through a Micro USB to HDMI adapter.

MHL question

Just wondering if all MHL adapters are the same. Meaning, can I use a generic non-HTC adapter on my Rezound?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I believe so. Someone posted that a monoprice one worked on his GSII. I know that is a different phone but it is likely that HTC hasn't blocked generic ones if samsung didn't.

The monoprice adapter works for my Rezound.
Thx for the help, just order a 10$ mhl adapter. After this bad boy set me back 600$ i'm trying to squeeze all the accessories I can outta this weeks paycheck.
I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get it.
The thunderbolt/EVO 3D htc mhl adapter works.
How can I control my phone with out touching it?
(Watching netflix and don't want to get up every time)

The Monoprice MHL adapter works like a charm. You can't use your HTC cable in the adapter though. So pick up a long enough 5 pin micro usb cable( I am using a 6' wish I would have bought bigger) and long enough HDMI cable for your set up so you don't have to stand next to your TV operate the phone and watch it on the TV.
to further add to the question, if you're going through the MHL->HDMI to your telie, will it also keep your phone charged?
Yes you plug the adapter to the phone and the wall

crikey !!...
Yeah its a lot going on for our phone to display on a TV. My wife's Bionic has hdmi out, that is so easy! Just bought a hdmi to micro hdmi cable from monoprice for 3 bucks for my wife's phone. The Rezound looks like a octopus just to display to the TV!
Where u guys getting the monoprice MHL? Amazon? I haven't connected any phone to my tv since my original EVO days. Would love to do it with this one. Thanks fellas

Does anyone know if NFL mobile app will work through the mhl adapter? I'm thinking of picking one up for that and some emulator gaming.

No, the video parts of the NFL app will not work. I have tried it and when you try to access video content, the screen you are connected to view blank.
Thats weird. I thought u can view anything that's on your phone... Even the home screen!? Is there anything else that doesn't work through the mhl?

I recieved mine from Monoprice, works great. But it HAS to be connected to power (charger or USB both work) to function, not just if you want the phone to charge while using the adapter.
What I did was use a short HDMI cable, short micro USB cable plugged into one of my TVs USB ports for power, and then mounted the adapter to the back of my TV with velco. I then use a micro usb extension cable to connect the adapter to my phone, cutting down a TON on the octopus effect. And I can always disconnect the adapter to take it with me somewhere.
Is this the adapter everyone is buying, its $14 not $10 so want to make sure I'm not missing anothr one on their site. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=2

Dual device for USB-MHL port

Hey forum, I'm just windering if theres some sort of supported double adapter for the usb port.
I love the idea of being able to connect my flash drive to watvh movies but using the usb host cable takes up the only port for charging.
Does anyone have a good fix or.have found a good product?

Unfortunately you cant use mhl and USB otg at the same time, I wanted todo the same thing and play videos of a flash drive but found out that its impossible
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Damn, cause I tried vlc but pc bein a ***** and Flex just wont play the videos.
Ah well, this is where an external usb slit would have been slightly better than hiding it under the covers...

Display Note on HDTV.

So I plugged my note in to my Samsung plasma tv. I used the mhl adapter that came with my infuse which I used with my infuse and it worked all the time. But it is not working with the note. Am I missing a setting or something? I am rooted with da g OC kernel but I haven't seen anything in that thread about this. So anyone have the same issue or could help me out?
Will gladly hit the thanks button fer ya!

Did not work for me until I plugged in the power into MHL. Then everything worked but the quality on the big 42" screen was not that good.
I have not ordered one yet, but I've seen other Note users say this PNY cable works good. It's the one I intend to order soon.

just need to plug the power into it too.
Thank you for responses but I did that as well. Just forgot to mention it. As far as I know mhl will never work without direct power supply. As I said this worked on my infuse and I have set it up the same way but no worky. Can anyone confirm they have it working?

The screen only supports slightly above 720p so I wouldn't count on it handling 1080 externally.

I think it will output 1080p video files just like Samsung's larger tablets and play them in true HD on a capable TV.
From what I've seen, MHL adapters are a bit of a crapshoot for the Note. I have one made by CableMatters that seems to work well, but sometimes it inexplicably doesn't.
I don't need it for YouTube or anything but I use my phone to dl californication from demonoid. Be nice and easy to just plug the note in and fly but what I've been doing is using es file exp to drop the video file on my network HDD and then stream from there to my ps3. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? (Besides paying for showtime of course...LOL)

I saw somewhere there was a process. I think it was to plug in the hdmi, plug in the power, then plug into device. I saw it worked for the poster but i may have the order off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I agree, try it using the following steps.. HDMI from TV into MHL Adapter / Power from Wall into MHL / MHL Adapter into phone. if you hear the beep that the phone is charging, does not mean it made a connection with the HDMI side. if you get it connected there will be a 2 / 3 second delay between the beep and you will see something on your TV, also I have USB debugging OFF, seems to work better with MHL.
Edit: With my Adapter, I do not have to reboot the phone with the adapter in for it to work, it will auto detect whenever I hotplug it. I do have to mess with the connector plugging into the phone, seems it can be plugged in / detect power, but not HDMI, (Wiggle it

Ethernet adapter?

Is anyone using one? Just wondering how it works.

Yes I have one. I purchased from Amazon along with a micro usb to usb otg w/ micro usb input to charge at same time. It allows you to plug your tablet directly into the router and get the higher Internet speeds.

I don't think you can use a cable. Early on, there was talk about a build.prop edit that could enable Miracast. I never looked into it as Chromecast works for me. Kodi can be installed on unrooted Chromecast. My mistake. I have it installed on Fire Stick.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't work. I have that set-up for my old Galaxy Nexus (the HDMI adapter isn't with me atm), but I would be using it with my N9 if it had worked. I can test it out next week. We use hubby's iPad mini 2 to connect directly to TV when traveling and can't use Chromecast.

I brought back the connector (https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Supported-Samsung-Sensation-Rezound/dp/B006FTKM12) last night but will try it on my old GNex (which is currently charging) to make sure connector is still functional. Then I'll test N9. I'll post back by 8pm edt.
I'm sure all of this is pointless. I finally located the info re HDMI and Nexus 9 (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/tAmu4gd8S0U;context-place=topicsearchin/nexus/Nexus$209$20and$20hdmi). It's hardware--not a matter of no software connect (like N4 and usb otg) for an included component. On N9, the hardware isn't included.
MHL absolutely does not work. I'm certain slimport does not work, but I'd never purchased a slimport adapter to actually try it.

Can you clarify this comment. I have the original Chromecast, and I see no way of installing apps on it. Was that added to the 2nd gen Chromecast?

After trying to locate the info I used, I realized that I had installed it on my Fire Stick, not on my Chromecast--which is also a 1st gen. I edited that post to show my misinformation. However, I did locate some YouTubes that might help you stream your Kodi to Chromecast. Maybe you already can do that.. This might work, but also read the responses from users. This is another.
