I know this is not a popular feature these days, but I figure I would ask. Does this support any sort of video output via a cable? MHL dongle, USB-C to HDMI dongle, etc.
I would love to hook it up to a TV to play emulator games with no input lag.
Sorry I can not answer your question but I got to say that usb-c video out is criminally underrated. It is such an amazing and hassle free feature. I really hope it catches on. If you ask me its because for some reason its not advertised. I only know about it because I Googled it out of curiosity. 2 days and $15 later I had one of my own.

I would love to have this feature too. Would love to run something like Sentio Desktop or better still MIUI Desktop Mode (once they implement it). I would even buy this phone solely for this purpose.
I have the same question, can we use a cable usb c to hdmi in order to connect poco f1 to a tv.
The snapdragon 845 doas support it so it should work
But it doesn't work on some Sony smartphones with the supported soc
bro to clarify, actually usb type c is 3.0 port, and it does support reverse charging, dex, audio peripherals etc (according to USB corporation). but midrange and budget flagships like poco, oneplus does not provide 3.0 connectivity via those ports. they put a c type look-a-like port but it is micro usb wiring done on board. you can charge using any type c branded cable and transfer data but at 2.0 speed and the features you asked may not work. only limited manufacturers like lg, sony, samsung only provide real type c 3.0 or 3.1 port connectivity.
hope this clarifies something.

Does it work on Poco?
USB C video doesn't work. Already tested. There's already a thread and few users like me tested with such accessories. MHL also doesn't work (not tested by me but some other user) search general section.
I wonder if it can be enabled by software, though. There are much older phones without USB-C that can do it. Shouldn't USB 2 provide enough bandwidth?

As far as I understand it's a hardware issue, as in the hardware doesn't support it. I'm sure the USB type C port is just for charging and file transfer at USB 2.0 speeds

The title says it all:
Does the new I9100 Galaxy S2 have analogic TV-Out, via 3.5 jack ? Apart from MHL.
My I9000 Galaxy S has, and it works well with a Nokia CA-75U cable.
On gsmarena they only mention TV-out (via MHL A/V link) (and i'm not even sure what that means - a HDMI-out ?). Anyway, all i want is to connect the phone to a TV that only has RCA or SCART inputs.
Thank you.
I have report from an owner who is reliable that his Nokia 3.5mm TV Out cable is not working with the SGSII. I can confirm this tomorrow when I get my phone also.
If I'm not mistaken TV out is only supported via the miniUSB plug to a HDMI socket, with a 1080p maximum resolution. The cable doesn't come supplied with the phone though.
not working with the cable from my old n95. SGS1 did support this. Might be due to the cable being half broken, but I think it just doesn't support it.
I was hoping both methods were simultaneously available, like with Nokia N8.
Just to confirm does not work for me either (on the plus side my cheap Ebay USB OTG cable does work).
Damn. So it's either HDMI out (when they get around to releasing the adapter...) or nothing?
For full mirroring, yes. There is the option to share media via DLNA of course, but I suspect that like me you really need mirroring...

Is mirroring via MHL confirmed?
I have not seen a single video or post confirming this.
You're quite right, mirroring isn't confirmed.

I think that it is also representative of the new technology. Honestly, I think RCA connectors are outdated and doesn't really make sense.
RCA uses analog, and most TVs now-a-days are digital. Almost no technology runs on analog anymore, so for phones like Nokia to output RCA, it has to have a chip inside to convert from Digital to an Analog output... Then when it reaches your TV, if it is a digital tv, then it has to convert the analog back to digital. At this point - not only is the resolution decreased, but the signal starts to artifact from converting from digital -> analog -> digital again.
I guess this means that people have to upgrade from their CRT/legacy LCD tvs that only accept RCA/AV inputs.
And for the even older CRT TVs, too bad for them because there's no support for coaxial out.
Now that would be cool -- a coaxial out cable for old TVs, in case we ever discover time travel, and want to show the future to people from the 80s on a nice big 19" color CRT TV.

Just some warning - I'm not sure if that will work since it's not an MHL USB-HDMI cable.
If it works at all, it won't be able to charge your phone and display HDMI at the same time because of the way it's designed.
If you don't want to buy the real cable, I saw a generic version here:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/
If you wait another month (I believe June is the month that the supply is supposedly being produced), I think China will have some copies made soon. For complete functionality and compatibility, make sure the cable meets and complies with MHL standards.

HML tv-out adapter for sgs2. $78 on ebay.
The official Samsung HDMI adapter doesn't look to be out for quite a while yet but there's one by BizLite over at Mobile Fun that should be in over the next fortnight (website says 9-14 days)
Cheaper than the official one too. Agreed that it's quite annoying having no TV-out on the 3.5mm jack!
There is maybe a hope.
Exynos 4210 supports composite output. If SGS2 has connected jack 3.5 to Exynos Composite Video Output soldered, there is a hope.
Hi all I need composite video out to connect phone to car video system - so it`s my only hope to get it from 3.5 jack somehow... or is it possible to convert hdmi to composite or component?
Do you guys think if I hook a microusb to hdmi adaptar it would connect to the tv. Think it would show a picture?also along those lines....whatabout a microusb to usb adapter for wireless 360 controller? think it would work?
Wired 360 controller works. Wireless does not.
thanks! i wondered about that. i know sony tablet doesnt have hdmi support. i just want my tablet to show up on my tv. anyone know a way to do it. and i dont mean dnla. i want to run my emulators on the tablet through the tv
I'm pretty certain that this is not possible. The HDMI-out used in microUSB adapters requires hardware in the device. As far as I am aware, the Sony doesn't include this capability. The USb port would need to be wired to the display output which the Sony doesn't have. Sony doesn't include a hardware display output since Sony's plan for their mobile devices (the same thing that lead to quite a few of the Sony's unique features) includes more support for future technologies like DLNA.
Have you seen the vscreens app? Am pretty sure that if you had an android powered tv device (a google tv box perhaps), you might be able to see the tablet on the tv by pairing the 2 screens. Though I dont have a google box, so cant test this theory!
For replacement of the HDMI port I am waiting for a stick called "Xbounds".
Just use Google and you will find some very interesting videos. The developer dreamchip is on a fair end of April, maybe there he will offer some news
To have output video from the micro usb the port must be a MHL port, and the Tablet S port isn't. So I think it's impossible to have video out with this tablet.
Hey there, i have tried gathering information about this subject and it seems all threads always lead to this announcement:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/29/galaxy-s-iii-new-mhl-connector-also-enables-usb-on-go/
Short: Samsung have changed to an 11 Pin-out to enable USB OTG and MHL Hdmi out at the same time. I purchased an original HDTV Adapter (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) which as far as i can reliably count indeed has about 11 connectors inside the USB connector that goes into the phone.
Now, i can get HDMI out just fine, but ONLY when i also connect the MHL adapter to a power source (a PC USB Port will do fine), however i have also read, that the phone is able to power the MHL adapter itself but obviously would not be charged then (no surprises there). This does not work however.
Further, connecting a USB OTG cable to the micro usb port on the MHL adapter does nothing. No notification and no devices connecting. No power either, since the LED on my USB Hub does not light up as it should. Connecting any devices to the hub does nothing to change that situation. If i leave out the MHL adapter and connect the USB OTG cable directly to the phone, everything works perfectly. I have tried this with 2 different OTG cables so they are not the problem.
This is an original genuine HDTV Adapter for our phones, which according to that post should be working fine with USB OTG.
AFAIK, this topic --does-- come up more frequently now as i can find a few more discussions about it, albeit none really helpful:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...-of-11-pin-mhl-connector-in-samsung-galaxy-s3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743128

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link#11-pin_MHL-USB_Connector
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811435
That wiki entry is the most interesting link as it definitely states that using MHL and USB OTG simultaneously is possible and is also the reason why the 5 pin layout was changed to an 11 Pin layout.
Looking forward to reading your replies!
the ability to use MHL and OTG simultaneously would give the S3 so much more purpose. It is powerful enough to replace a desktop computer used only for light stuff like browsing and watching videos, and even simple gaming. If samsung made a dock like the one for the motorola atrix I'm convinced they will broaden their target group. The atrix got everything right with this but is inferior hardware wise. I love the idea of a one device for everything concept. Unfortunately it doesn't rhyme very well with the growth society.
Love the MHL and the OTG is even better only after I got the correct cables as the cables changed on S3 to the S2 version, unlimited space for watching films on my phone is now awesome and even better connecting it to to the TV just need a good dock,
is there perhaps any expert advise on this? According to multiple sources it should work but really doesnt. Did i buy the wrong mhl adapter?
I think they will only both work together when being used with an MHL enabled tv. That way the power comes from the tv and the usb on the adapter can be used for the usb-otg cable.

But if i connected the MHL with the s3. Would sound come out of my phone AND my TV or just my TV. If it justs comes out of my TV, then can i hook up my bluetooth headphones and listen to my video or it would not allow me?

Ah ok sorry! Afaik you should be able to choose your headphones as primary audio source in the bluetooth settings. I know I can choose what I want to be output to my bluetooth headset, but I don't own an MHL adapter so I don't know about that. Someone with one should be able to try it, and if they don't own a bluetooth headset/pair of headphones they could try with wired ones and see what happens.

I have recently received an MHL connector (5 pin type) and the samsung 11 to 5 pin adapter for it. I can confirm that if I plug my OTG cable into it, and then into my powered USB hub, I can get the MHL to work just fine, both video and audio. The OTG cable powers it just fine, but does NOT allow me to use other devices attached to the USB hub.
I am still researching. I suspect you need to bring all 11 pins off the phone with a splitter of some sort, or possibly wire data lines through the MHL. Probably not with the 5 pin MHL connector and 11 to 5 pin adapter, but with the full 11 pin MHL adapter. I am not up to that level of hardware hacking. I suspect whoever does it first can sell a BUNCH of them!
Oh, and I have a Moto Lapdock for my Raspberry Pi, and would love to hook my S3 to it too!

Okay I have asked around everywhere I can, and I can not get a straight answer from anyone. I would really like to get to the bottom of this if possible. It is my final deciding factor on if I buy this device or the Galaxy Note 2.
I want to know how many pins the HTC Droid DNA has in the MicroUSB Port. I am asking because I want the phone to be able to handle both HDMI out + OTG at the same time. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has an 11-pin port which when used with the Samsung Smart Dock allows simultaneous HDMI + OTG. If it does ill buy the DNA + the Smart Dock and get the best of both!

As there is no mention of HDMI support of any kind (and the USB port comes covered, as they want you to use wireless charging) my inclination is no. That it'll only support pure USB (5-pin)
yes it does...
According to this line on phonearena.com... phonearena.com/phones/HTC-DROID-DNA_id7498_ (sorry not sure if we're allowed to post specific links or not), yes, the Droid DNA micro USB is capable of sending an HDMI out signal.

Very fast processor (1500 MHz)
Lots of RAM (2048 MB RAM)
Very big display (5 inches)
Extremely high pixel density screen, over 300ppi (441 ppi)

Wow why can no one answer my question. Of course it handles HDMI out I knew that like a week ago. How does no on care about the phone being able to do both HDMI + OTG at the SAME TIME. What the hell do I have to do to get a straight answer? I want to know, how many pins the MicroUSB port has in it, 5 ? or 11? 11 Means that you can use the phone essentially as a portable computer and not only hook it up to your flatscreen but also run an external flash/hard drive, charge, use a usb hub, use mouse & keyboard, ETC. Out of this many people with Android smartphones how is it that only like 10 care if a device has this capability.

While we're on the subject of wireless, we should note that the Droid DNA also features dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n, NFC and compatibility with HTC's Media Link HD for wireless HDMI mirroring.
If you don't mind going the wired route, a MHL adapter will easily work here in its place. Sadly, USB OTG isn't officially supported.

Not sure that answers your question specifically, but maybe indirectly?
I believe the HTC Droid DNA has a 5 pin layout. I just bought it today, and I can see that it has 5 pins on the center piece, just like my Samsung Galaxy S2, which I know is a 5 pin layout for MHL.

Did you even read the OPs post before responding?? How 'bout his follow up questions??
He wants to know if the phone has USB OTG technology. As in 'can it read a flash drive?'
He's addressing the exact same question that you tried to offer to my comment in another thread, but it appears your reply to that thread was misinformed.
Do you actually put any thought into your replies, or are you simply trying to get the high score on post count??

Not the best pics, but does this help?
I am using a 4 port hub but built cable to otg and plug into HTC bb g600 for power so it doesn't drain power from the DNA. My first attempt is successful in powering usb device and transfering data rather quick compared to using the DNA for power. I have a cable on order that will allow me to otg and plug charger in to charge phone since the built one didn't come from HTC it won't charge it. Don't know if this is useful to anyone else but me, but it does resolve needing external power plugged to wall or laptop etc. Still not sure how many pins. It does power a thumb drive just with otg cable and 32 gig sd plugged to usb adapter but I don't like the draw it has on battery performance without battery pack.
Ps...hdmi adapter on way as well so will let know if otg plus hdmi work together.
Pss... I know the hdmi adapter works on DNA still haven't tested both at same time will post this evening.

I bought a USB-C to HDMI adapter through the Google Store, as I have a laptop with USB-C (and no HDMI Out or DIsplay Port) that I need to mirror to my 65" TV. Works great for that. (Miracast and Chromecast frequently drop the mirroring connection for me).
Just for sh*ts and giggles, I tried it on the 6P to see if it would work, even though I knew it wasn't supposed to. I can confirm that there is no video out on the 6P through the USB-C port. TV says there is no signal from the 6P.
Nothing earth shattering here. I just figured there are some people out there where in the back of their minds they were still wondering whether it might work. Put your minds at ease, it does not.

Bummer, why does your Chromecast drop signal, that sounds router related.
I know Google is really pushing Chromecast, but limiting people to 720p is just sad. I've tried the experimental 1080p ChromeCast from my laptop Chrome to my Sony KDL65W850C and it just produces a broken picture. The Nexus 5 had fantastic SlimPort that I used! It was amazing for movies or testing TV inputs. Heck, I even used it for VMware Horizon View and loved it! This is a feature that Google should put into all Nexus phones.

I'm doubting it. Google wants Cast to take over. I can see it from their POV. But the fact they want to call this PREMIUM and not having this feature...very disappointing.

It's not really HDMI that's supported. It's DisplayPort. And DisplayPort is already supported in the USB Type-C spec. Google just didn't implement it for whatever insane reason.
Check out this image. It shows that the USB Type-C ALTERNATE MODE uses pins A2, A3 and A10, A11. These can be for either high speed USB3, or for DisplayPort.

Thought type C was capable by default.
It is shocking to me that a 2015 flagship phone does not support video out via dongle to HDMI cable. My old S3 and HTC M7 do. All my iPhones did and still do. I believe the Samsung S6 does not support video out either.

Though I'm sure it won't help, I sent feedback to Google regarding why "Enable Wireless Display" isn't available under the "Cast" display setting. What a crock!
I guess it's Chromecast Dongle or bust. All smartphones today should have wireless display capabilities - smh.

Thought type C was capable by default.

The spec allows for it. However, it's up to the hardware designer to actually implement it. Google decided not to. Bad idea in my opinion.

From what I understand, it's a USB 3.1 feature. Though the device uses a USB C connector, the data path is still USB 2.0.

Its actually not a USB 3.1 feature. It's part of the USB Type C spec called "Alternate Mode". DisplayPort would use the same pins that could be used to enable USB 3.0 to push DisplayPort data instead of USB3.0 data. Its a one or the other deal with USB Type C. Either DisplayPort or USB 3.0/3.1. USB 2.0 is always present.
Crap, wish I saw this post before I purchased an USB-C to HDMI cable from newegg

I tether my phones data, so that I can watch Hulu. I just bought a cable thinking I'd be able to just run Hulu through my phone to my TV w/o tethering, but I guess I wasted my money buying that cable.
