Has anyone used an hdmi adapter yet? I was wondering if I should purchase the usb c to hdmi adapter from Google or if it's okay to purchase a cheaper adapter on Amazon. Also, what type of adapter is the pixel compatible with? Slimport, mhl, or DP alt mode? Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Amazon.com or newegg preferred)

I believe there was an article about how the Pixels don't have a specific USB C capability needed to output video, so there's no point in getting the C->HDMI adapter cause it won't work.
EDIT: Found it.

Someone in the comments said to have used a slimport hdmi adapter. I am not sure if he meant the Pixel phone. I can't use my chromecast at my work since they use enterprise encryption.

It might not be much of a consolation, but if you get the new CC (gen3) at least it will have an ethernet port. Assuming your enterprise wifi and corporate wired networks can talk, that might be a solution.
Display link adapters work as well.

Someone mentioned a compatible dock with hdmi on Amazon
For the HP Elite USB C Docking Station someone wrote in the Review section on Amazon: "The only docking station I found, that can charge the new Google Pixel while connecting usb devices (like hdds, keyboard) and an external montitor. " So I guess this dock supports hdmi for the Pixel.
I just got my Pixel yesterday and haven't tried anything but I have several USB C accessories for my Desk XPS 13. I'll try them out tomorrow to see what happens - can't get to it today, sorry.

On the t-moibile site, under features for the phone, it lists:
MHL adaptor for HDMI capability
Does it come with such an adapter out of the box? I'm interested in using it to connect a usb card-reader to it so I can easily copy photos from my camera.

No, I it doesn't come with one in the box. In fact, I it was publicized that no other adapters aside from the official Samsung one would be compatible with the phone because Samsung changed the pin layout for the GSiii.
No, but I found one on Ebay that works great and a lot cheaper to boot!
Edit : Wait...I bought one for my SGSII...I assumed it would work with the SGSIII, but perhaps I'm wrong! I'll have to test it and report back!
I wish. I checked then out online and they are like $40. It seems like way to much to just hook it up to my tv, and then the samsung car mount/charger is another $50. it seems like samsung is going the way of apple. at least apple gives you a dock when you buy a phone.
Don't worry. Third party accessories will catch up soon enough. That is lousy of them to charge so much for such a piddly little adapter.

just buy a USB OTG (on the go, or host usb) adapter if your just looking to transfer files from a card reader, the MHL adapter is primarily for video output, not input
I just got 2 USB host adapters from the link below for less than $3 shipped....also below is a video from android.NZ that shows all the crap we can plug into this beast of a phone
As for MHL Adapter compatibility, it will ONLY work with 11-pin MHL adapters, Most are 5-pin
USB OTG adapter
Apparently, Samsung is going to block third-party accessories.... The chip may be in our phone

It's not just lower cost that third party products provide, it's features that Samsung are unable or unwilling to provide. Their MHL 2.0 adapter, which they fraudulently advertise as being for use with your 'Home Theater' in fact explicitly prevents you connecting to anything other than a TV directly, so if you want to run through your receiver and get output from your speakers you're out of luck. The only hope now is a third party adapter that works properly (or go back to the old MHL 1.0 adapter and 24Hz frame rates).

We should be asking you that question.
(1) Does it work if you plug it into something other than a monitor or HDTV (i.e. the HDMI or MHL port of an AV receiver?)
(2) What frame rate are you seeing. MHL 1.0 gives 1080p/24 while MHL 2.0 gives 1080p/60. The specification for the Kanex of 75MHz doesn't seem fast enough to support 60Hz at 1080p
(3) When you plug in external power while watching TV does the phone charge and if so at what current (Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free&hl=en to find out).
I assume you're talking about one of these ...
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1001326-REG/kanex_s3hdtv_mhl_2_0_to_hdtv.html
In a perfect world it would work the way it's supposed to. Plug a single micro-usb to HDMI MHL cable into the phone and the other end into the MHL port of a receiver, and the video/audio goes through the receiver while the phone charges from the MHL port, no external adapter required.
It's beyond me how we've been promised this for years but no-one seems to be able to make a cable that can do it.
Hi,
Does anyone on this forum use their Z2 over MHL?
I was wondering what MHL Cable / Adaptor you would recomend.
I have seen a Sony one, but is is very expensive (£30).
I was wondering what the thoughts on the cheaper ones were.
Thanks
in Advance.
Anyone got any recommendations for this? I too am interested.
Bought this from Maplin today ( for us with my HTC one. Tablet Z and Z2 ) so will report back when I've had time to test

I bought two adapters now and will test, but how new does a television have to be to be mhl compatible? Leaving on holiday tomorrow and would like to use my Xperia2 on the TV in the room, any good guesses on if that's a longshot?

I bought this:
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CI42C4S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which works perfectly but on my TV requires a separate power source for the MHL.
I've been using a Rocketfish MHL adapter for the appradio in the wifey's car until I can get an adequate mirrorcast dongle.
I haven't had any issues with it. It also comes with a 11 pin adapter for newer Samsung devices.
The Samsung branded 5 pin MHL adapters should also work and be found in stores(they had them at my local Bestbuy along with the Rocketfish I bought).
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking to do, but maybe some sort of cast dongle might be a better option.
For streaming I like using chromecast best(there's 3rd party ones that support chromecast/mirrorcast/DLNA/airplay in one unit). The user experience is much nicer with chromecast but you're limited to using apps with cast icons and a wireless network(mirrorcast/dnla don't require this).
For screen mirroring a straight HDMI cable works best but not even Motorola puts HDMI ports on their devices anymore. MHL adapters work for the most part just as well but can have more failure points and compatibility issues. I haven't tried mirrorlink yet(I do have a new appradio that supports mirrorlink as well as HDMI but it's still in the box) but from what I under stand it's not as fast as HDMI and may give noticeable lag.

got one from amazon (brand: Cable Matters),.... ordered a 11-pin by accident,... and obviously that didn't work,..
so i ordered the 5-pin version and it worked just find,.... but it does need to be powered with the micro USB for it to work

does anyone know if there's an MHL adapter that doesn't require to be plugged in the wall outlet????
Looked around but I can't find anything definite. Is there a usb-c dock that works with the Razer phone 2 that will mirror the screen via HDMI and supports USB for a keyboard and mouse? I want to use the Sentio desktop app and have this optional setup for short trips. I have been reading that the Lumina dock may work or the HP Elite X3 dock. Any thoughts or experience with this?
Dell WD15 docks work. I'm in IT and we have these at work. Plugged up a projector with the dock and it worked. I also tried a usb c da200 Dell adapter. It works too, just doesn't provide power.

This got me wondering, so I took the same set up I have for my Nintendo Switch. Much to my surprise, it worked.

That's the adapter I used. Charging and the USB worked.
I tested this device with the Microsoft Display Dock and it does work and even provides power.

this YCCTEAM USB-C multiport adaptor works
https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-Ninte...child=1&keywords=YAEYE&qid=1594149954&sr=8-11
Someone posted the US equivalent, I'm from Canada. I saw it said YCCTEAM on the product so why not give it a shot. Tested it out with a BlackBerry Key2 and the Razer Phone 2, charging, USB and HDMI work for this unit.
Tried it with Sentio Desktop and it works great.
Hi all,
For those who want to use their smartphone through HDMI, I am using a targus adapter, there are many brands but it must be "DisplayLink" certified.
It works great and lag-free in general use but apparently runs at 30FPS in games.
I bought the used ACA40US targus model for 6 dollars on eBay because it was the most compact and cheap I found, but it needs a USB-to-USB-C adapter, I use a usb-c hub that I had from a previous smartphone and so I can charge while use.
In summary, to use the HDMI output on the realme x2 pro, you only need a certified "DisplayLink" adapter, a USB to USB-C adapter and the display link App, and activate the USB OTG option.
Optionally you can also use the App "SecondScreen - better screen mirroring" from the play store, to change the resolution and choose the best setting for your TV.
Some Targus already bring the adapter to USB-C or are directly for use with USB-C, but they were more expensive.

Cable doubt
Hello,
I bought an Xtorm USB-C to HDMI cable model CX2111 but I wasn't aware it need to be a DisplayLink certified cable. I searched a lot of the cable but cant find any related info if its certified DisplayLink.
I installed the DisplayLink app that you suggest, also the SecondScreen app and no signal, and I have a doubt.. you rooted you Realme X2 Pro?
I'm asking because I dont have signal on my TV or Monitor from Realme X2 Pro with Xtorm CX2111 cable.
Best regards
