[Q] Phones with HDMI out & USB OTG? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA,
Does anyone know of any phone(s) that have both:
-HDMI out (preferably micro HDMI port and not MHL)
-USB OTG/Host capability
The reason I ask is because I would like to use a wired 360 controller with the OnLive gaming app while outputting to an HDTV.
Thanks.

Hi,
did you look on Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro?
I have it and it surely has HDMI port - probably the micro HDMI as I got a cable with normal HDMI on one side and some mini connector on the other one.
According to some sources it should also have usb host, but I have it only few days and did not have time to test it yet.

[Q] USB To HDMI Adapter Possibility?

Hello Everyone,
So I've been seeking ways to do video out on the Thunderbolt besides DLNA. I came across a device called "Sewell HDdeck USB to HDMI Converter". I would post a link but I cannot do so yet.
It's an adapter that has a port for standard USB and the other port is HDMI. Does anyone know if something like this would work?

Think this would work
I don't believe this will work - If you notice it indicates it only works with the Samsung Galaxy S, which has a special multi function port - it is an enhanced USB that has additional connectors for the HDMI.

Which HDMI cable?

Hey,
Is this the right hdmi cable for the xperia s?

Or this one?

You'll need the Micro HDMI to HDMI cable, so the first one won't do.
Mini HDMI is larger than Micro HDMI. You could also Google for the phone's specifications to see what kind of HDMI port the phone has.

[Q] MHL Cable

Hi,
I understand that the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is one of the first to have MHL 3.0 (Along with the Z2 Phone) however is there any adapter out at the moment to put this onto to your TV yet?
Is this something that a universal adapter will sort? Is it something I need to wait for Sony to release?
Cheers.

For me, the Samsung MHL does Not Work physically. A third party Adapter From HAMA does Not Work on the Sony, but on the SGS4
I'm Waiting for the Sony MHL to become available now...
I bought this one and it works with my z2 tablet: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...o-mhl-adapter-rf-g1171-rf-g1171/10214468.aspx

So, seeing I get my Z2 tomorrow, also ask if anybody has tried the MHL to HDMI adapters. Seems a limited choice here where I live, so asking for some additional input.
Seems I can get the official Sony IM750 MHL Adapter, however it doesn't mention the Tablet compatibility, only phones.
I bought a cheap mhl v1 cable that works fine. It just crops the bottom of the screen off on the TV http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281294982152
It has to have a micro usb to power it, but most tvs or dvd players have a spare usb port to power the adapter.

Thanks for the link. I suppose it would come down to whether the TV USB would transmit power via USB, but in the worst case, one could carry a USB charger (seeings I have several of those laying around )
All usb ports supply 5v at 0.3amps min as long as the TV etc is on. Even if it's a diagnostic only usb port it's still enough current.

[Q] Xperia Z2 MHL and USB OTG at the same time?

As the title says, will the Xperia Z2 D6503 output MHL to HDMI whilst also having USB OTG support?
I'd love to be able to plug a usb hard drive and output to a tv at the same time.
MHL 3.0 states it has "Simultaneous high-speed data channel" and "HID support for peripherals such as a touch screen, keyboard and mouse".
Does this mean the phone should support USB OTG and MHL, or is it down to the adapter? I don't have an MHL integrated TV...

Mhl 3.0 and USB OTG together?

I've got a Lindy MHL 3.0 adapter and it works flawlessly. However I'd like to hook up my wireless xbox 360 controller adapter (which also works flawlessly) - at the same time.
Obviously I can't plug anything into the micro usb whilst the mhl adapter is plugged in.
So, is there a 'y' cable that can be made or is there a dock allowing usb input along with mhl output?
According to the mhl 3.0 spec, there's support added for hid input (such as game controllers?) but I've no idea how they envisioned the physical setup with only a single micro usb port.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
i have already thought about that...
won`t work in my optionion unless you have a specific microhdmi output like to old XPERIA S....
