The LG G3 doesn't use MHL they use another adapter called slimport. I don't know the technical differences, but I know they are not inter-changeable.

Samsung's MHL adapters don't usually work for other devices. I bought what turned out to be a Samsung only cable a while back, when I plugged it into my HTC DNA it would not fit. I ended up grinding down the connector so I could get it plugged in and it still didn't work. Traded it to my boss for a regular MHL cable and that worked fine. I have not tried it in my G3 however, with the Chromecast and Miracast options I just haven't needed to.
that's ridiculous, there should be a universal mhl adapter. The reason I want one is so I could play emulators that are on the phone. If I did that wirelessly with miracast and chromecast, I get bad latency issues

I know it's definitely ridiculous, Samsung is getting just as bad as Apple about proprietary connections. If I get a chance when I get home I will try the adapter I have for my HTC and see if it works. I have a WD TV Live box that supports Miracast and it's terrible, but the Chromecast seems to work a lot better. I can see latency being and issue with games for sure though.

I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website yesterday, so I should get it today (yeah, I paid the extra $6 for overnight shipping).
Does this phone support FULL mirroring (i.e., when plugged in to TV, TV screen mirrors whatever is on the phone's screen)? I used the full HDMI app on my Evo 4G, and it was great for watching shows from HBO GO on my TV.
Has anyone tried it yet? If not, is there a review out there somewhere that specifically demonstrates this feature?
I guess I'll know tonight when I get home from work!
Thanks,
Rob
I haven't seen it specifically on this phone, but I've seen the Qualcomm MSM8660 demos showing full mirroring. We should be capable of it, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I'm surprised nobody's tried it yet!
Can you use the normal micro HDMI or do you have to buy the adapter to use HDMI? Lol kinda confused how this works with the new port? Could anyone explain? Thanks
You need to buy an adaptor. Basically, it's a dongle that plugs into the USB (charger) on the E3D. The dongle/adaptor has a HDMI port on it, along with a USB port. You plug an HDMI cable into the HDMI port, and into the TV. You plug a charger into the USB port and into the wall.
So no, the HDMI cable from the EVO 4G (I have one too) won't work.
Does that help?

According to this demo from CTIA it appears it can, but this is unfinished testing hardware/firmware so it's still not a confirmation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g
This doesn't exactly give you an answer with the level of certainty you are looking for but it's a good sign. We should see some end users with feedback on HDMI features on the production phone streaming in any time now that hopefully confirms that it can do this across any application without problems or limitations.

hey rtmeikle . I also got the mhl from tmobile. I hooked it up last night to sadly find out that hdmi mirroring is not supported at all. It was all a big hype it appears. Were you able to get it working? I'm hoping that you were so maybe its just my device....if not, then this phone is going back.
Yep, I got mine yesterday and tested it. It works fine.
You have to have the adaptor plugged in to the phone, a charger plugged to the adaptor, and the HDMI cable running from the phone to the TV.
I got full HDMI mirroring which automatically switched to landscape when I tested Netflix and HBO Go.

interesting. thanks for the quick respond. When i connect it to my hd tv all i get on the phone is a message that says *HDMI play a video or slideshow to display via hdmi* on the notifications bar. When I click that, nothing happens...

Strange. The image of my home screen just popped up on my TV; I didn't have to do anything.
I tested it on the TV in my bedroom, a 3-yr-old Samsung 42" Plasma, nothing fancy.
Maybe tonight I'll test it on my other two TVs and see if it works on all of them.
did you allow the latest OTA upgrade or did you cancel it? I allowed it as soon as I turned the phone on. I also tried it on my 58 samsung plasma hdtv. Its not that old but also not that new.
I'm going to try it tonight on my smaller 32 inch lcd hd tv to see if that makes a difference. It shouldn't though.
Not like it matters since all MHL cables are the same but here is the MHL adapter I'm using: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4ec1-a08e-e133fa772d53&inCart=True&catCode=23

Yep, I've accepted the OTAs. And I'm using the exact same adaptor. Did you plug power into the adaptor too? I didnt' try without plugging it in, but I've heard that it needs to be plugged in to work.
Ok, i finaly got it to work. It wasn't a problem with the phone but a problem with the tv. I had to change some resolution settings on the tv and presto! Hdmi mirroring on its full glory
Now, do you know if I can pair up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Thats next for me.

This is what I am currently doing. I have hooked up the following.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard
The keyboard works great. I can type in the applications and setup my keys in the emulators just fine (snesoid etc)
Mouse functionality though is different then you may expect. You don't get a mouse cursor, it just "highlights" selections then you "left click" to go forward. According to my research the right mouse button is supposed to "go back" but is not working for me.
I put up a thread asking others for help with it, so if I find an answer I will let you know.
Updating you on what I found out about the mouse.
"Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access "

the adapter has a USB plug that you use to hook up to a charger, and will charge your phone. Newer TVs are coming that will support charging over HDMI via the MHL adapter, there may be some out but I think will be a standard in 2012 TVs.

Hey guys.
Long time G1/G2 user here...just cashed in on the Valentines Deal from T-Mobile and picked up the Amaze.
The associate @ the store here in Wilmington informed me that the Amaze has video out via micro HDMI...and same battery charger as the G2...?
My G2 charger seemed to work in the car, but after opening the one that came with the phone when i got home, I saw it looked a little different.
This was after I was all excited to hook up the phone to my Vizio LCD tv via a micro hdmi cable from newegg, but it didn't seem to want to fit properly. Is there a special cable I need or adapter require to hook up to a TV?
Thanks
You need a mhl adaptor

As stated, you need an mhl adapter for hdmi output.
As for the charger, it's a proprietary port on the phone, but it will also work with a traditional microusb cable.

Anyone have any first-hand experience using a proper MHL adapter for the Amaze? I'm very interested in buying one but have seen mixed reviews from this one: http://www.amazon.com/iKross-Jetstre.../dp/B005JZX5LC
I've seen other results on Google but no one really comments on having tested it with their Amaze. I've read reports of people using the HTC MHL adapter on their Evo 3D, saying the video looked pixelated. Has anyone found or used an adapter that worked well?
you can be the guinnea pig.
Hehehe, I'm hoping other guinea pigs who have tested will share!
Thank you guys for responding....appreciate it
I have used an MHL adapter
The one I have is from Tmobile. It works, but I just don't see the practicality of it. I used to have the G2X that required that micro HDMI to HDMI. That just required one cable. This time with the MHL adapter you need to not only have to have the MHL adapter, but you also need a normal HDMI cable and a MicroUSB plug to power the device. Without either you wont get any picture. It works like normal and honestly I don't see any difference between the picture of the Amaze with their MHL adapter and the picture of the G2X with their microHDMI. It works great, but the only set back now is the amount of cables needed for this feature now.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the adapter. Could you comment on the picture quality? Does a 1080p movie look 1080p on the TV?
Based on threads here and elsewhere, I found the HTC AC-M500 12-pin adapter (the correct one according to HTC), featuring their proprietary ExtMicro USB plug. I'd tried a generic 5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter from Overstock.com, and sometimes it would work, sometimes not. (I later determined that this was probably the fault of the Dell 24" monitor I have at work.)
There are 7 extra pins in the connector that I frankly don't know if they do anything; in prior threads someone identified them as supporting composite video (yes you read that correctly), stereo audio and a MIC. But the plug fits great, and on a Samsung 27" LED HDTV, the video looks as crisp as you'd expect. Is it worth $30+? Depends upon how often you want to use it. I hope to do presentations and playback with it.
If you want some detailed pics, look to my images posted to WikiCommons.

I'm not sure if it's the player of the Amaze that makes it less appealing or if I just encoded it wrong or if it's the limitations of the picture transfer itself, but it doesn't look "perfect" so to speak. Sometimes there's even a little audio delay that for some reason is more visible on the TV than it is on the phone. It still looks good and I imagine that if the right settings for video encoding come out it will look great, but don't expect BluRay quality from the phone.
I found that my Amaze has trouble playing 1080p without a stutter ... but it does that on the device as well as the external display. I guess those of us who want to do this regularly need to upgrade to the Edge/Endeavor this summer.
The MHL cable I had for my Sensation 4G works for the Amaze, I tried it out last night it worked with no problem.
Important question, when using a typical 5 pin MHL adapter, does the phone transmit audio over HDMI as well?
Along with that, if not, does the 12 pin adapter transmit audio? Thanks guys.

Check Wikipedia for references on MHL ... my reading was that it was just mobile high-definition link ... that is, a way of getting hi-def video and audio OUT of the device, not networking IN some peripherals.

I agree. The HDMI connection on my G2x was a lot more simpler. One cord. I am considering being a guinea pig when I get my pay check in a week....
I purchased one of these from amazon.com it works perfectly, but I do agree, microHDMI port would def. be preferable to the extra cord + adapter...
I wonder if someone thought to connect their G2 to TV or monitor using microUSB-HDMI adaptor? I couldn't find anything designed specially for G2 (only G2x). I tried with my old SGS3 microUSB-HDMI adaptor and it didn't work. I know some of you guys can send a link for compatible/tested model.
Another concern about PS3 bluetooth joypad as a control for some games on G2. Any chance this combination cam work? I saw only posts about SGS3 and SGN2 combined with these joysticks.

And yes u can use a ps3 controller om your phone if u are rooted and bye the app sixaxis controller.
OP, you need to use Slimport compatible cable or Miracast receiver (it's more expensive, but wireless). If your TV have DLNA/Miracast feature built-in, you don't need anything more to hook phone up to TV wirelessly

MHL is the USB connection on your phone. Basically it's usb to Hdmi
But there are two standards MHL and slimport
Think apple Use a third one.
Something like this should work:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slimport-My...695?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e77502af
I bought one that looks exactly like this, I don't have the exact link but this is the same thing. You have to plug in the USB to a wall charger or PC USB port, and you need to be on a stock rom because slimport doesn't work with any of the CM or AOSP based roms I tried.
Using this cable, the G2 actually outputs a pretty good video feed at 1080P. The colors look a bit washed out on my PC monitor but the speed is good and games can run at around 40+ FPS (as opposed to 60 FPS when not using slimport and just running on the phone). I also use the Moga Pro controller, it's Bluetooth and has very little input lag, I don't have a PS3 controller.
I just wish CM would fix slimport, it is a huge feature for me.
I just bought recently G2, came from S3, very good phone Im happy with it and its quiet interesting to connect it to TV and gamepad... I think I will try buy one of those EBAY slimports to test it, but Im thinking about cheap chinese ps3 controller, anyone tried it on this phone for gaming? And is it worth to play games like this? Because alot of games uses alot of touches
Hmm, I have a question, what about to connect Xbox controller via USB to phone ? The external power is demanding ?
Wysłane z mojego LG-D802 przy użyciu Tapatalka
So, basically :
* MHL cable => to connect USB port of LG G2 to HDMI of the TV ( only for CM & AOSP based rom )
* SLIMPORT cable => to connect USB port of LG G2 to HDMI of the TV ( only for STOCK based rom )
It's correct ?

Nope. G2 uses Slimport, not MHL. It's a hardware difference (basically, DisplayPort vs HDMI), even if the adapter looks similar.

I'm in for more information on this. I've had a little MHL adapter that has worked well to hook to hotel TV's but I discovered I can't even plug it into the the G3.
Such a disappointed they went with a disappointment (actually the real disappointment is that phones stopped including dedicated microHDMI ports).
Anyways, the cheapest SlimPort adapter I've found on amazon is still $30. Is it as small as the MHL adapter? And why so much more money? I got the official Samsung MHL adapter for $10 on Amazon... and some off-brand SlimPort is $30..... also, why is it not even an option to buy on LG's website or Verizons website? I would think they would list it for like $180 or something but nothing.
SlimPort adapters do work fine. This is the one I tried on my G3 last night, bought it last year for my Nexus 7 2013:

Both audio and video come through clean. It has a second, std usb, connector, that you need to plug into a regular usb port to get power.

Does anyone know what OTG HDMI adapter I need ot which one is correct?
I was order one before I was get the phone and now I see the plug was not compatible.
Sorry for bad english and hope you understand my question
The cable your looking for is called an mhl 3 cable but Samsung stopped supporting mhl starting with the s6 I believe. Casting is a much better option IMO anyway. The last mhl adapter I bought was for my note edge and it was around $60 for the Samsung branded version with back charge. You can pick up a chrome cast for half that and all newer smart tvs have native casting built in.
Ok thanks. But I think with chrome cast will be too much lag for playing games with phone and screen showed on tv?

With the new Chromecast and a decent router you should be good... I haven't really tried to play much but I showed off a few games that way.
thank you. I will buy chromecast and try this way. Hope my internet speed was fast enough with screen mirroring without lag.
If will my TV support screen mirroring I will try this way but its not.
What about if I try change the connector with right one? Plugin on adapter was not right, but attached was the right one.
Problem was only if Samsung was not support mhl cable anymore.
