I'm looking to get a slimport adapter to connect to a TV via HDMI. Has anyone had good luck with one? I've been looking for an "official" one and not a knockoff but can't seem to find it. I don't want to have to buy a bunch of them to get one that works. Thanks in advance.

yeah I have one it works well I got mines from microcenter
You can find the genuine, official SlimPort-branded one on Amazon here. It's a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion. I bought mine last month and it works great without any issues.
As long as you buy from the Demandport seller, you're guaranteed to get a legitimate one since that's SlimPort's official reseller.
A little off-topic, but just a heads-up since I've got this adapter: at least in my experience, the convenient integrated charging port doesn't seem to charge the G3 as quickly as it uses power (when it's actively mirroring your screen), even on a higher-amp wall wart. It's possible it might be an issue with my cable or something, but I can't be sure. Not really too much of a problem for most people, but worth mentioning.
Also, YMMV when it comes to using it on 720p TVs. It works totally fine with the ones I've tested, but as the Amazon description states, it's only really guaranteed to work on 1080p.

Well with mine i have a 2 amp charger it could be the adapter that does not output 2 amps
so I bought this slimport adapter which works.

now If I remember correctly some adapters which were compatible with older phones had lower refresh rates. although they still work on lg g3 you phone is capable of higher refresh rates. If it meets your needs, I would suggest using an amazon firetv stick. This device is miracast compatible which uses wifi-direct for wireless connectivity and the phone in your hand rather than attached to the TV. just saying.

Hey guys I found this mhl adapter on monoprice and it's $10.20. By far one of the cheapest out there. Also monoprice has great build quality on their products! Here's the product link http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2, and here's their video on it! They use it on our evo 3d's! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=P5tJl_a_wcc
Yep - that's already been discussed many times under the MHL adapter threads. There have been many reviews about that particular adapter - including mine.
Honestly - I have no complaints about my MHL adapter.

Really!? I've never seen it haha thanks! Do you like it?
I do - it works well. You just have to make sure you're using the right app - beause they don't all look equally as sharp.
For example - Diceplayer looks better when playing video than the stock gallery app in my opinion.
All that said, I just decided to order this adapter since it was so cheap:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110821533138
I was looking for a 2nd MHL adapter to throw in my car, and this price ($6) was about right. I'll report back how it works when I get it.

I bought it when it went on sale a couple weeks ago for something like 9 bucks shipped. I wouldn't recommend it. The battery drains even when plugged in (which has to be plugged in to work). If you read the reviews monoprice actually responded that it only can input of 500mA which is only half of what the stock charger puts out but standard for USB ports on a PC. Don't know if its an MHL flaw or a monoprice adapter flaw but a 720p movie with the phone in airplane mode still managed to drain the battery in under 2 hours. You also can't manually change resolution although that's a limitation on the phone. This really isn't a problem as it defaults to 720p for most TVs but I did have it go to a really low resolution in a monitor.
Don't blame the monoprice adapter, that's a weakness with all mhl adapters. There was a guy who claimed his was charging, but checking the system settings showed he was limited to USB charging and not AC.
The key is not having other apps running or services you don't need. On an airplane, you should have gotten a much better discharge rate! The last time I used mine at a friends house to watch a 720p MKV, I had over 90% of my battery left. I figured I could have watched over 10 hours of video. If you're streaming, you will burn more battery obviously.

That's crazy ill have to try with a clean install. Also wish I could turnoff the backlight wwithout turning off the LCD. That would save some power. I though it might have been an MHL limitation but I have seen 1amp MHL adapters. That could just be the reseller making up specs they don't know. Really huge design flaw in my og Evo I could stream any content and it would still charge even with Bluetooth enabled. Shame you have to cripple the phone so much so it doesn't die on you.

Yeah, buy you had two connections into your phone with the OG Evo. The MHL adaptor will eventually (when tv's come with it) only need the HDMI cable and hopefully charge more than the USB does.

Didn't think they would.wrap it into a TV but if 500mA is an MHL limitation then it really wouldn't make a difference since the stock charger already outputs more than that and what the adaptot itself consumes.
Nice find! I was looking on Amazon for an MHL adapter, but glad I checked here before purchasing one.

Can you point me to any 1 AMP advertised MHL adapters?
Even if they work for other phones, this phone's funny. I have quite a few 2.1A chargers, both car and AC - and not all of them charge beyond USB charging rate. It seems one or two of the micro usb pins need to be shorted to charge our phone at a rate higher than 0.5A.

I just got this EBAY adapter - and I haven't had a chance to fully test it. It wouldn't work for HDMI out - so I thought it was defective, but I realized I haven't used MHL since I rooted my phone (olympus rom). I used my monoprice adapter and also wasn't able to get it to work, though it ran very well when the phone was stock. So I'll wait to review until I flash a new rom that actally lets me use the MHL adapter properly.
One thing that shows promise is that when I charge through the EBAY $6 MHL adapter, it shows up as AC charging on my phone. The monoprice shows up as USB charging. I've also confirmed that it definitely charges faster.
I'll still have to test whether or not it actually works - and if it'll actually charge faster IN USE. I'll let you guys know. If it does work and charge faster than the mono price adapter, I'll post here and start a new thread. Otherwise, I'll report back and apologize.
I updated to a kernel which allowed HDMI out and tested the new HDMI adapter. Visually, back to back with the monoprice adapter - the EBAY $6 adapter worked just as good. That is to say that the picture looked idetically sharp.
I then played a 42 minute 720P MKV through diceplayer - and my phone's charge increased from 66% to 70%. It's the first time I've seen that with an MHL adapter.
With this new kernel (Anthrax R13) - this MHL adapter now shows charging my phone as being via USB instead of AC. But next, I plan to play an identical video with the monoprice adapter - to see if my charge level increases or drains in use.
I'll start a new thread when I have the results, but regardless, at $6 - this EBAY cheapie has to be the best value yet.
Are there any other kernel/rom options that would support hdmi out to tv? Thanks
One thing you might want to consider if using this with the HTC dock, is that the Monoprice adapter won't fit well. You have to force the micro usb in. To use it in the dock, you need a micro usb adapter that has the micro end with a less bulky plastic enclosure. The curved side of the tip needs to be closer to the plastic edge. The adapter I got from eBay fits better, without forcing or bending. You could also try carving away excess material.

I've got a 10£ ebay special and lovin it no probs.
THISIS50 if its hot its here
I've never gotten one before.
Are all of them the same, i.e. if I buy one that's for an SGS2 it will still work on this device right? They're all just microUSB to HDMI I'm thinking. Cuz I see some cheap ones for like $7 and I'd rather just get that than spend like $30 on a "good" one that's the same exact ****.
brand means nothing on these. the only thing you need to know to use it is you will have to power the mhl adaptor with your micro usb cable
I've had mixed results with these adapters.
I ordered 2 different cheap adapters from ebay (2 because I read that some dont work with the note) The first one to arrive just didn't want to work tried everything but gave up on it. The second one also didn't work the first couple of times but then suddenly worked. It was ok for about 2 weeks of heavy use then it gave up on me aswel.
Now I have the original Samsung MHL adapter and works every time with no problems. So to answer your question - it's a game of luck unless you pay.
Anyone here using a tested and verified working mhl? I would love to get one myself too.
i was skeptical so i bought one off ebay for like 8 bucks... plugged it in the day i got it and was playing Tekken 3 on my TV via Galaxy note .... works pretty well. There may or may not be a little lag though... (might have been my tv)

It's to be noted though, if you're playing a youtube video outside the web browser the annotations wont show up on the tv, nor will subtitles on a mkv file, unless the subtitles are hardcoded into the video itself.

Hi,
I've read about these before on the same forum etc... but looked for that individual one and could not find the same thread so I started this one.
They ran out before and have had some good reviews for the evo 3D and just recently received an email stating that they were restocked.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2
From what I've heard they have been very good so far and well I did just finally order mine. I know that there are other ref. to this product ( sorry I didn't find it in search) but to anyone that missed out there is the link. Also not bad for a little under 13.00....
Just wanted to put it out there for you all

Yeah, I posted a thread about the monoprice ones. I got it and it works perfectly.
This is very useful for US users, I bought a MHL adapter from Dealextreme. I know they have some issues with delivery at the moment, they are still struggling to deliver all the goods. I live in Eastern Europe and this was the only way to get one (well, I bought 2, one for me and one for a friend). It costs at least 29 USD plus another 5 USD for transportation in Romania. Delivery is free, I recommend to add a tracking number for 1,2 USD on Dealextreme. Build quality is very good, it comes in its own package, I am very satisfied with it.
Edit: I have just tested it with a 23 inches monitor. It works like a charm. I don't own a TV, so I could see if sound is sent through the adapter.
thanks OP, just ordered
This was the first MHL adapter I received, and it works well. But it may not be the best. If you have, or want to buy the HTC dock in the future - the monoprice adapter will not fit well with it. You would have to carve away some plastic to get them to work together.
One reason you might want to use a dock as much as possible - is that after 9 months, my HDMI signal started going out. I got a replacement phone - and it restored MHL output. I believe that after much monkeying around, the port got physically damaged. The first replacement phone I got from Sprint - also had the same problem.
Besides that - I have 2 no-name adapters that charge faster, with no visible loss in quality. I just picked up the official Samsung adapter out of curiousity - but don't see any advantage with it yet.
In a couple of days - I was going to post a review thread to comment on the 4 adapters I have right now. Though I think I'm going to return the Samsung adapter.
received mine in the mail last week. It works well, not the best and vidz that you do have really have to be high quality.
( phone to my 55" plasma) but as long as they are worthy quality it is not bad at all. Well worth the money! I should have bought a couple but oh well, I did notice a small glitch here and there but I would assume that is because running a custom rom and custom kernel would add to that issue. Can anyone else confirm glitches w/ stock or is it bc i have the set up I do have that is making it that way?
thanx again for any input on that topic,
Z
Dumb questions. Any special apps required to output to TV using the MHL adapter? Or is it just plug and play? Can you adjust the orientation of the screen on the TV?

I have a Evo V 4G; it's basically a 3D for Virgin Mobile. On Evo V 4G, it's running ICS and Sense 3.6, but identical hardware. Anyhow, I bought this adapter from Monoprice, and it seems to output to 720p by default. Not sure how to switch to different resolution. It is plug and play. Plug everything in, and TV screen shows the same contents. Played a movie via MX Player and it looks pretty good.
Thanks its pretty good price!
Hi,
Just wanted to let you guys know about this dock that I picked up from aliexpress.
The build quality is awesome, it is all metal. Feels really solid and it works in the same way the the actual DeX stations do.
I've attached a couple of images of the product and one of my review.
The current cost is USD $13.71 GBP £10.26 and that includes postage from China, mine turned up in a week and a half, really happy with it.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EAS...893.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6d9f4c4d3EQZa8
It works in the same way as the original DeX does, you cannot use your screen as a trackpad and must connect a wireless/usb mouse and keyboard. I haven't tried it with a USB hub yet but I imagine it would work as it is powered via your USB-C phone charger. Using my GS9 original charger it allows passthrough fast charging whilst using the dock. You can also use it for standard screen mirroring rather than DeX mode.
With the experimental labs mode enabled (in DeX settings, which appears when connected) to allow you to scale most windows up to full screen. The only one I have found which doesn't go fullscreen is netflix. Things like PUBG mobile (only opened app to see if it works, you would need an app to remap keyboard keys to play a match), Youtube, Terrarium TV etc all work fine. The option for sound output via phone/connected hdmi device works.
If you have any questions or need me to try something out on it for you, please let me know.
There are some more expensive versions with more USB ports and 3.5mm audio out - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EAS...-9e13-2ca171f3bfbb,scm-url:1007.13339.90158.0 - These are £29.91 (USD $39.98)
Nice. Do you need to remove the phone from the case or is the usb-c connector long enough? Just curious.

I did have to remove it from the case. I am using the Caseology Parallax which isn't overly thick (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Caseology-...-2&keywords=caseology+parallax+galaxy+s9&th=1 / https://www.caseologycases.com/products/galaxy-s9-parallax-case).
I don't see it as too much of an inconvenience, as when you are using the dock it is likely that you won't be leaving your desk/living/wherever for a while.
Thanks, I will keep it in mind. I bought one off Amazon that had a sale that I found on Slickdeals. It's the XF Times one and it was on sale for $8 so I took a gamble on it. It's working well at the moment but if it breaks, I will look at the one you posted. I already saved it to my Favorites.

Ah, that looks similar actually. I've never really looked on Amazon for them. I wasn't really looking to buy this one, I was just browsing Aliexpress and decided to actually order something on there rather than just browsing for ages and deciding against it. I picked up a couple of cases and watch straps too, it's too easy to buy things when they are so cheap!
My cheap DeX dock works fine
Only problem is, it doesn't charge the phone. The dock requires USB power also. Without power, it just mirrors the phone screen. So I just charge the phone in the morning and it would go all day on DeX if I wanted. However, I usually get up and go to meetings and such, so I end up taking the S9 with me. When I get back, I will typically top off the charge again before plugging back into DeX. I have a DeX setup at work with monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and I also have one at home. I just take the little dock with me and keep it in my backpack. They are so cheap, I really should just buy another one to keep one at both places.
If I don't plug in a mouse, I can use the phone as a touchpad. If I do plug in a mouse, the touchpad functionality doesn't work. Which is fine; just an observation.

Hi,
I hadn't even tried it without the wireless keyboard attached as I foolishly assumed it wouldn't work with this dock. I've just tried it and thanks for the tip it works great as a touchpad!
I just carry a spare USB-C lead with me when I need it, it even manages to fast charge.
One thing I will note is that the connection has become a bit hit and miss on this, I don't know whether that is build quality or because the dock USB-C connector has taken a knock when I have been carrying it around. I still think that I can't really complain for what it cost me.
Yeah, I figured the touchpad function wouldn't work because it is not a Samsung dock. But it still does if you don't use any other input devices.
Just to clarify this dock puts the S9 into the actual DEX mode, not some sort of "similar" app?

Hi Cookie,

Honestly maybe once a week. Hard to break the habit of just firing up a laptop.
Can this work with a non Samsung Android?
Is there/ shouldnt there be a generic/ stock Android alternative for the same?
This is nice but better connect a computer from other room to tv and bring cable through the wall for wireless mouse too there if it's for home.
I recommend this.

Has anyone been able to find an adapter that works with this tablet for charging and listening to music at the same time?
Interested in this as well. Were you able to find anything yet?
I too am interested. I see a bunch on Amazon but they all look cheap. Does anyone know of a high end micro usb-c to 3.5mm+usb-c charging?
I tried a non-charging adapter for the Moto Z2 force I had laying around and it works fine. However I still want to charge.

The following one from amazon, works fine on my mediapad M5.

Edit: Only one of the two adapters works and that one only with the original Huawei charger. It did not work when I used USB C chargers, unlike the Huawei USB A one. I have a different charger on the way and will post if it works.
This one works on type C chargers, but I'm discovering they all have an audio hum when plugged into power. Also be prepared for long ship times from Walmart.
It's a bit pricey @ $25 but this is what I've been using for the last couple weeks:

The build quality, specifically the outer shell, is excellent and the additional DAC makes for crisp sound output.

I've been playing with mine the last two days and would have to agree on the sound quality. I'm not getting the audio hum, I was getting with the cheaper ones, when plugged into power. Good find.

This one works fine, and you can charge at the same time, but it disables quick-charge (must only connect the + and - connections and not the ones used for data).
Here is a link from my previous order in France. Works perfectly well
