Just what the title says.
Since mhl 3 is connector agnostic, it should theoretically work right?
i am using a samsung mhl adaptor like this one on my z2 with no problems:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MHL-HDMI-Adapter-Packaging/dp/B005LGUDKK
it's an older version mhl but i guess the new one should work fine too.
If it's micro USB then it should do. The z2 supports mhl 3.0 so if the cable is correct it should work, beware of fakes which only support 2.0, found out the I hard way!
I believe 3.0 supports 4k but I may be wrong. On a side note my Z2 didn't come with the nice headphones or the cheap ones but some decent in ear sony ones (not DNC).
From the technical specs phone supports USB OTG and MHL.
Anyone managed to get this working? I tried USB OTG in several ROMs, but did not work for me. Anyone had success with that? What ROM and Hardware you used?
MHL i did not try so far, because i do not have any adapter. But maybe anyone can share experience with that.
Thx and best regards

Yeah I couldn't get MHL to work either. Very disappointed.
I confirm that USB OTG is working, tried on 3 ROMs (all stock ROMs) and worked with 2 adapters. Tried MHL too but with my adapter for LeTv x600 not worked maybe need another adapter or ROM not supporting but CPU (I thinking) support MHL.

I also tried a standard USB-C to HDMI - MHL cable but I didn't get any signal on my HDMI monitor. Just asked Elephone for help but did not get a reply yet.
I have an OTG adapter that is USB C to read sdcards. It works with my 16gb card, but not my 64gb one. The adapter works fine in my Oneplus 2 with the 64gb card, so I'm assuming the p9000 is having issues somewhere along the line.
Maybe your OTG issue is a similar one.

According to the result of the QR code at
http://www.mhltech.org/experience.aspx
the P9000 is not MHL enabled. I just got negative results with an Aukey USB-C to HDMI dongle with a Sony Bravia TV. The P9000 non-official specs mention MHL capability. Can't know if it's the P9000, the dongle or the TV leading to no display.
Hi,
I bought LG G5 for its modular design, slimport output, large SDXC card support and mostly importantly an unlockable bootloader on H850.
For slimport, when I search for USB-C HDMI adapter, a lot of them come out as "macbook usb-c hdmi". The dealers say they do not know whether it will work on LG G5.
I am wonder if the a usb-c to hdmi cable protocols are different for LG G5 and macbook. What's your experience?
I have both a MacBook 12" and an LG G5 and I just tried plugging my HooToo USB-C hub into my G5 and it works prefectly! Didn't get a chance to try out the HDMI port yet but I tried the SD slot, USB drives, and a mouse/keyboard and all work perfectly simultaneously!
One of the things I’m really amazed by with the modern PDAs is the USB OTG. So just as I found out that my Galaxy has it, I got myself an adapter (for less than $3) and tested it with several devices. Here’re my results:
USB flash drives: every single one I tried worked perfectly except a 1 GB drive of unknown vendor, which wasn't even recognized by the Galaxy, works okay with PCs thought.
External HDDs: the Toshiba 500 GB USB 3.0 drive wasn't recognized and didn't show any signs of life. Surprisingly, a 320 GB SATA WD Blue in a USB bay was detected and spinned up, but the Galaxy didn't recognize the file system and asked if I want to format it. I didn't, since the disk had some data I needed, but there's definitely a potential.
Input devices: all the mice and keyboards I tried worked as they should, both wired and wireless, which was expected. Which wasn't, is that DualShock3 controller from my PS3 was immediately recognized too without any additional drivers or software, it even let me control the menus. Sadly, that wasn't the case with my Logitech Freedom 2.4 wireless joystick. I guess the power wasn't enough.
Output devices: Sennheiser wired USB headset (basically, the USB sound adapter with the headset attached) worked as it should. HP LaserJet P1102 printer didn't work even with USB printing service installed.
Overally, I got much more then I dreamed of, especially since I heard that the OTG is very poor on a modern devices. DualShock3 success is especially cool.
This is quite weird as I have tried the original Samsung Micro USB OTG adapter, with the little white USB-C adapter and it did not work. This is on A3 2017.
There were rumors that USB OTG was disabled. Which adapter do you have?

The rumors aren't true. The thing is, Type-C uses a different pinout for OTG, so it shouldn't be a combo of Type-C to Micro and Micro to Type-A OTG, it should be a special Type-C to Type-A OTG adapter. The adapter that comes with the device is good for charging only, or so I heard. I’ll photo my adapter, but I got it for almost nothing in a local computers store.

Very interesting. A different pinout for OTG. Yeah I thought it was the combo that shoud have worked.
The little adapter comes with the device is said to be charge and sync. Because when connected to my PC it works. for data transfer.

Here’s the one I got. The site is in Russian, but the pictures are self-explanatory.
I have an OTG now from Aliexpress. It works for my A3 2017. 90 degree angle connector.
Now onto an USB-C to HDMI. The official Samsung EE-HG950 does not work.

So if i understand correctly the little "micro usb connector" that comes with the A5 2017 won't work for anything other than charging? I tried using it with a regular otg cable and it doesn't detect any flash drive, not even a ps3 controller, i don't even get the notification that a usb is plugged in.
But whats weird is if i use a male to male usb cable and connect to to a pc it works just fine. Any idea whats causing this?
Please help. I have the same problem. I have newly bought a5 2017. I already have otg usb drive sandisk. The adapter type c included in the box didn't work fine. Except only for charging when connected to usb 2.0.
My usb otg drive will become useless if it doesn't read by my device. What should i do? Or how to activate maybe my otg support? Tnx in advance.

The adapter from the box is just for charging and data transfer to compuer. If you want to use your flasdisk you can buy a new usb otg for type c slot.
I use a uGreen multi functional adapter for attaching usb memory sticks and HDMI cable for TV use with my G5. It works great apart from the picture breaks up on the TV from time to time mostly when playing video and curiously only when I have a sim inserted and active.
I'm wondering if the adaptor is somehow incompatible with my G5. I have 2 G5's and both have the same problem. When I use the adaptor with my V20 it works perfectly. Or maybe it's a kernel issue which might make it resolvable.
Has anyone had a similar issue and does anyone use any other brand of adaptor that doesn't have this issue?
edit: this is the one I use https://cf1.s3.souqcdn.com/item/2018/05/02/32/73/00/34/item_XL_32730034_131939745.jpg
