Connect TV through HDMI cable to play games! - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Hi! I got my new OP5 and I'm on the last version of FreedomOS.
I'd like to play some emulated games on my TV through HDMI cable in order to have the lowest lag possible.
I tried to put a USB - C / HDMI USB-A USB-C (charger) but it doesn't work...
Can you help me?
Thanks!

I don't know, I just want to be able to join the phone to my TV through cable connection.
It's my second OP since the 3T and at the time I didn't need that feature

It's not possible, use chromecast

Negative. I asked customer support. The only way to connect is wirelessly. 1+ doesn't have MHL support.

[Q] Connecting the device to a TV

Hi everyone,
I've searched this forum and on Google but didn't really find the answers to my questions.
If I want to connect my Nexus to a TV (that has a USB port of course) what cables and adapters do I need to use?
By searching I found out I need this adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UZBLSG
But what other cable/s do I need?
Thank you.

Just a heads up, there are cheaper ones that work better...
You screen will flicker with the SlimPort... at least mine did.

Thanks, how are they called?
Can someone help? Do I need to buy a cable that has a male HDMI connector and a male USB connector so that it connects to my TV?
And along with it I need the slimport adapter (or any other adapter)?
Thanks.

Just a normal male to male hdmi cable, slimport goes to the hdmi input on your tv
It's easiest to just get a Miracast adapter since that's what the Nexus uses for Wireless Display. Just connect that little box to your TV via said HDMI cable and the nexus will connect to it directly, wirelessly.

Micro-USB Extention Cable + Slimport = Success!

If you're wondering if it's possible to use a Micro-USB extension cable with a Slimport adapter the answer is yes! I have successfully used one to connect my Nexus 4 to a Slimport SP1002 adapter, then connect that via HDMI to my Pioneer SPH-DA100 car stereo.The bulky adapter with its myriad of connections and super short cable to connect to my phone is now hidden under the center console.
I can't post links yet, to find the cable I used Google "angledcables" micro-b usb extension
Just curious, why do you use MyDP to connect to your car's headunit? movies for the kids? GPS?

GPS, and as a workaround for the poor audio output of the Nexus 4. Although the ability to watch Netflix while waiting in the car is nice, too.

hmmm... this didnt work for me with
Black 3 Foot USB 2.0 USB Micro B Male 5 Pin to USB Micro B Female 5 Pin Cable
by YCS basics
from amazon
but I'll order the other one and try it because it would be so much better if i could extend the slimport rather than hang that whole thing from my phone
it works!!!!!!
The cable from amazon did not work but the cable from angledcables.com worked! Even though the envelope says usbfirewire.com, they have different models of micro usb cables
I got the 12 inch version of :
Item #: RR-MCB-EXT-XXG5
and i can CONFIRM it is WORKING for AppRadio 3 as an extension between the phone and Slimport adapter.
I suppose it's a hit or miss depending on if the company wired the 4th pin through (Which is usually used for OTG) or not. Slimport uses all 5 pins.

After a few days I had to disconnect the extension because it makes things way too unstable. The slightest bump stops the video signal. You have to totally remove it and plug it back in before it works again. I might try a few things to fasten the connectors together but I might just go without it.

Sorry to revive an old thread. Did you get this sorted out?
I'm in same situation. I just got Pioneer AVH-x8500BHS and SlimPort adapter to mirror from my N5 to the x8500 HU.
But the Slimport is in my glovebox, I want to move it to my center console for easier access and better GPS signal.
I'm afraid all this plugging/unplugging of the SlimPort will eventually wear out the cable or the N5 port.
Anyone ever figure out a way to get the extension to work without it cutting in and out all the time?

[Q] MHL Adapter with OTG

Hey guys,
I received today my MHL adpater
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171436891054?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The signal to the TV is working fine.
My problem is when I'm connecting devices to the USB host port, there is a power over there but my phone not responding, while those devices are working with a simple OTG cable.
Some help over here?

I have been looking for the same thing, an MHL - OTG - charging dock/adapter/dongle, I have not found anything that people report as working reliably on the S5 (I am also looking for one to work with a Note 10.1 2014).
Have you tried to connect a power supply on the micrUSB port? I have a MHL adapter and it needs external power.

I even tried connecting a USB hub and I saw there is a power from the USB Host.
Please give me a link for what you're using a direct link to eBay item.

I was under the impression you can either use mhl or otg. Not both at the same time. You tried just using the thumb drive by itself without the hdmi plugged in?
anyone had luck finding an adapter allowing you to use hdmi alongside otg?
anyone found an adapter than can do hdmi and usb host at the same time??? there seem to have plenty for s4 but nothing for s5?? although s5 is using a newer and more capable mhl if i am not wrong

i meant the image quality,to just watch and control your device its ok,to watch a 720p movie its not ok,video will be blur sometimes and it will be a little delay at sound.
few days ago i used a friends standalone hdmi adapter was performing amazing even at 1080p.
it is very nice thank you very much

I got that hdmi connection kit and it works great with my S3 doing hdmi 1080p and otg simultaneous + charging. But with my S5 it will only do hdmi 720p or otg not both. Image quality is poor on the monitor but great on the HD TV.
Maybe "Display Link" is the way to go to get wired screen mirroring and otg at the same time on the S5?

Using SlimPort to connect V20 via HDMI to monitor

I don't know if anybody else does it that way but I actually use my LG V20 like a computer. I did the same with my LG G4 using SlimPort.
The V20 needed USB-C so I got that.
However, I have a pet peeve.. both of them would initially show 2K resolution (2560x1440) on my monitor. Then it would downscale to 640x480 and everything got fuzzy on the screen.
I would have to take it to the Samsung television (1080p) and it would "reset" then I'd go back to my 2K monitor and hook it up and it'd show beautifully until I turn it off then it goes back to 640x480.
Anybody having that problem?

The adapter is XtremPro.. I also have a Mokin.. both are the same in terms of performance. All the cables are the good ones but phone doesn't seem to charge with any of the cables I have including the factory, but I still have to have cable otherwise it won't run.
I've got this working on my V20 currently with this adapter

I think all you really need is a USB-C to HDMI adapter. I don't think slimport would work since its based on a micro USB connector.

It charges, but doesn't fast charge

USB-C to HDMi

Has anyone tried to use a usb-c to hdmi adapter to connect the S5E to a smart tv or other video device?
I know you can buy them, but not sure if they would work with this tablet.
They should work fine. However your device may boot into Dex when you first connect your device to a TV using a USB Type-C to HDMI cable,

I bought this adapter on Amazon and it works fine, it does launch DEX but if you don't want that just hit the home button and it goes back to normal mode. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXMNF1X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
