Anyone get the HDMI out to work on the Galaxy S4? I have my Samsung branded MHL to HDMI cable, and I am unable to get HDMI output working... any ideas?
I just tired it a second ago, im having the same issue, at least you know your not alone <3
I was only able to get it to work on my Infuse4G... but have traded it in for my S4, they said it would work... may that is my out to get another one? Maybe one with MDL? can someone confirm if it works or not on MDL?

Yes it works perfectly on both MDL & again on custom version of MF3. I'm using the new Samsung MHL 2.0 cable, which works without needing to be plugged into a power source. There are quite a few comments about people getting fakes out there. The most common way to test for the 2.0 version is if it works without having to use a power source and your TV running at 1080p 60hz.
MHL to MHL 2.0 adapter
I bought this on ebay [HDMI MHL Adapter Tip for Samsung Galaxy Notes 2 S4 S3 (Micro USB 5 to 11 Pin)]. Using it, I can use the MHL adapter that I used with my S2 with no problems. It needs USB power, but it works fine.
For those that are having problems and are on aosp roms, these adaptors only work on stock and Stock-based roms
Yeah, mine is a stock adapter (reqs power, originally came with my Samsung Infuse4G) and I am on a stock rom but no joy. I will order a new v2 model and see if it works then...
Thanks guys.

I also have the Infuse4G adapter. If anyone know of a way to make that work, it would be great.
I read that the S4 should be backwards compatible with standard adapters that use the addtl power source. I'm not sure if the Infuse4G one would qualify as "standard".
Thanks!

Dang it... is there no standards of survivability on hardware anymore?

Hi
I'm guessing the answer is no, but is there a way of connecting the N7 to HDMI? Maybe using an OTG cable. I've searched, but couldn't find anything, so as I said, I suspect the answer is no.
Am aware of the HTC MediaLinkHD method, but was just wondering if there was a more direct route.
Thanks!
Otg is not possible. The device you use from micro usb is called an mhl adapter but I'm afraid the n7 will not work with an mhl cable

I know it doesn't, but BLOODY WHY?
Google have done this on purpose !
The only hope is Miracast.
The N7 has not been officially certified yet but Nvidia are signed up to it so its only a matter of time before it is.
You will have to buy a dongle for your TV or if you have a new TV it might get Miracast certification itself
Then the next step is a software update to enable the functionality

Lets hope they pull it out their arse real quick, but looking at the dock and case they will take bloody ages !
On one hand we all know that Nexus4 does not have the microSD card slot, on other hand I did not see explicitly somewhere stated that OTG is actually supported..
If anyone came across this matter please share it here..
Thank you.
I'm pretty much in the same position. I've been looking around the web to see how OTG is handled by the Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Nexus. Both support OTG out of the box, but what I have seen is that OTG works mainly for input peripherals (mouse, game controler, etc). For storage (flash drives and card readers) it seems you either have to get an app to read the storage device or root the N7/GNex in order to use it without an app.
It will probably be the same process as it was with the Nexus 7. Root, app, done.
Ok, giving this thread a bump. I asked Phil at Android Central (did the review of the N4, if you haven't read it I recommend that you do) about USB OTG with flash drives and card readers. Here's his answer (pretty much what theoneofgod said):

Ah, too bad. Seems like a pretty obvious thing to leave out. Thanks for the info, though.
I am very curious about slimport hdmi and otg at the same time... while charging. Possible?

Yes, thats what I think, but I havent seen anything yet.

And reading this: "The same connector on the device can be used for USB when a SlimPort® receiver is not connected" makes me think that the usb will only work as slimport or usb.
Check out the press release associated with this article:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/nexus-4-boasts-slimport-support/
However the more I read the less I see a difference with MHL

Same here. I am almost sure we will have otg and video out, but not both at the same time.
You don't need Root for OTG on Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7. etc...

This is read-only access to the flash drive, as far as I understand. If you want to copy something from the phone to the flash drive, I believe you'll need root and a driver, something like Stickmount.
What do you all think of the below items I'm getting.
iMito MX1 MiniPC
RC12 Air Mouse/Keyboard
Logitech C310 webcam
Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra-Mini Hub
Anyone suggest other accessories?
You may want to consider a USB Ethernet adapter unless you are pretty sure you will have an optimal WiFi signal.
Something like this would be a great USB Stick accessory:
3 port USB hub and 10/100 ethernet
http://dx.com/p/usb-1-1-10-100mbps-ethernet-3-usb-2-0-ports-hub-adapter-white-10cm-125259
(I know I keep linking to dx.com, but I am not a plant. I have no relation with DX, except that I have ordered from them in the past.)
I have the mx2. Will the hubs work to add more devices to this? I'd like to run a HDD as well as the rc12 remote from the same USB port. For some reason my mini USB port is very delicate and I have to wiggle the wire for the mx2 to.pick it up

Thanks for the recommendation, but I will have the MX2 within 3 feet of the router. However I may need something like this when I move to a new place.

I'm assuming it will. My Transformer prime detects multiple devices through an unpowered USB hub.

Whats the main different between the iMoto vs. the MK series. and for the usb hub/splitter, is there any specific brand I should be aware of? Or will they all work regardless? I am asking because my nearby dollarstore have spliiter for like $2, and dx selling for $11.90

I was too confused with all the versions of the MK that I just went with the iMito.

I just used a usb hub I had lying around. When I get home I check out the model name. I'm buying an extra USB hub for my iMito form a different manufacturer and I'm just assuming that it will work.

Yeah exactly. These brands and models are wayyyyy too confusing. I am surprise no one stands out and give newbies a clear explanation.
Hey, I was wondering if its possible to connect my phone to a tv or something using a HDMI cable? I have a mini hdmi cable but obviously the G2 doesnt have any ports, is it possible through maybe an adapter or something? Thanks
I've heard that the G2 uses Slimport to output video. If that's not the case, then it uses MHL. Either way, you'll need an adapter. I'd look into it and find out for sure which one it is, then do a little more digging to find out what you'll need. Personally I've never used either.

Thank you, just realised at the back of the box it says slimport, and online it say MHL isn't supported by G2, so I guess Slimport it is.
Hi Guys,
I've unfortunately spent quite a bit of money on purchasing a Pioneer Z150bh and a Samsung Galaxy S5.
Does anyone know if I can use app radio unchained to have my pioneer z150bh mirror and give me full control of my Samsung GS5?
All I can find are Pioneer App radios (not my z150) and/or Samsung GS4... *not GS5)
I have done hours of online research and have not found anything specific to this. If I cannot accomplish this, I'm going to just return everything and try to get my money back
All I want to know is
1. Is it currently able to do this?
2. Which cable is required?
3. A link to how to accomplish this?
4. Where do I send this box of chocolate cookies too if you answered the above questions?
Thank you people who are smarter than me.....
Cheers,
Sam
Yes you can! I've done it with my LG Optimus g pro. You need an MHL adapter along with a Samsung 5 pin to 11 pin adapter, HDMI cable, micro USB cable, and ARUNchained installed on your phone. Message me back and we can exchange phone numbers and I'll walk you through it.
