It seams that the change to the MHL cable is to allow USB on Go with the same cable

there is a MHL adapter that gives you a male 11 pin micro USB to female HDMI so you can just plug a standard male to male HDMI cable from adapter to TV.
see:
Samsung Galaxy S III MHL to HDMI adapter
Does anyone know if this new adapter will work with the Galaxy Nexus, as well? Also, does it charge the phone--or at least keep it from being drained--when USB OTG is being used? I've been looking for a way to use USB OTG with a flash drive on my GN while also charging/powering the phone. USB OTG is a real power hog.
It should, but on mine it doesn't.
I've got a new MHL cable and a USB OTG cable in the hope I could plug my MHL into the SGS3, use a powered USB hub connected to the Micro USB on the MHL and then connect a keyboard and mouse into the USB hub, then connect the HDMI to the TV.
For me it doesn't work. I thought this was the whole reason they changed the MHL cable to the new type. Can anyone else confirm?
Logicalstep
can we get an update on this situation here? How
can we get MHL AND USB OTG?
My reading of the link is that the micro USB port has been repinned to provide USB on the go and not that the cable allows for this.On the mhl cable there is a female HDMI port and a micro USB ( both female) which must be used by the charger.
If the usb connection is also female type, we have to use a usb otg cable to get it work. But at the moment my phone also wont recognize any devices -.-' only mhl and nothing else.
I bought this adapter for 25 euros and want to have it working.
I also asked samsung on facebook 'bout this problem, and everything the told me:
Go support site...
very helpful.
I hope the will enable this feature in a future update.
Hello,
my screen supports MHL out of the box - a cable followed along with it.
Do I really have to buy the S4 MHL Adapter for getting it to work?
EDIT:
Thanks for answers! Looks like it requires 11PIN MHL

You will need a MHL MicroUSB to HDMI Adapter

That's what followed along with my screen, a MHL cable (microusb to HDMI)

Then it should work, you should try, if it's going through the micro usb then theres not high chance it will brick your phone

Well, it's a 5-pin MHL to HDMI, is that the problem?
Wikipedia said:
Connectors
As noted in the 'Features' section, the MHL standard is connector agnostic. The different types of connections, include:
5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle
The first implementations use the most popular mobile connection (micro USB) and the most popular TV connection (HDMI). Other than the physical connectors, USB and HDMI technology are not being used. It is exclusively MHL signaling through the connectors and over the cable.
11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle
The Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S4 use a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously. (Note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB On-The-Go port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III/ Note 2 can power the MHL-HDMI adapter (when used with a non-MHL-compatible-TV). Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.
The Galaxy S III was the first MHL device to use a different connector - one that is not compatible with all other MHL devices and accessories.[9]
MHL cable [edit]
Passive cables are also available at retail that allows consumers to connect an MHL-enabled device directly to an MHL TV.

If your 5 pin doesn't work then it will require any 11 pin version (I think)
Has anyone tried using OTG and SlimPort (HDMI/DP/VGA-Output) at the same time? Does it work?

I'm a little confused. Won't the Slimport cable and OTG cable need a seperate mini-USB connection? Unless there is an OTG cable that has some sort of Y-port I'm not aware of or there is a Slimport with similar Y-port I can't see how they could work at the same time with the LG. The connections just aren't... oh...
If you do get some converters of USB male on one end and mini-USB female on the other you could get them to connect but I have no idea if that would work since I don't know nearly enough about the electronics of these devices.
Good luck on your project.

Slimport isnt a cable as much as an adapter. Slimport is like mhl adapter, has a mail microusb to plug into phone, then a female microusb out the side, and female HDMI out the end.... pretty standard fair ... but no op, haven't tried it...
The slimport I've seen online had the electronic guts section with a cable attached. I know what you mean in that it's a device that functions as an adapter, but there are at least some versions that have a flexible cable on the USB end of it.
Your point is made however.
So, OP (or anybody else) did slimport + usb-otg work for you?
Hi, what do you think about this -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-LG-G3...448165?hash=item1a0294aea5:g:u~IAAOSw-vlVlj7V ?
Would love to know if anyone has solved this in the last four years. Will generic hdmi/usb to micro-usb work? Do MHL hdmi/usb hubs work at all? Is there anyway to get that Ebay item listed above that is long-since unlisted?
Hi.
I'm reading contradicting information regarding MHL for the Note 4.
Can I get HDMI out without external power?
Some adapter say S4 and above can power the adapter (11 pin) without external power other say external USB power is required.
Also I'm not interested in paying $70 for an official Samsung Adapter, I want an ebay special... I just need 720p out but I can supply 5v.
Thanks.
why dont you just get a netgear ptv3000. works great and is completely wireless.
Bcos that's TOTALLY useless for my application.

If you're connecting to a TV, I found out a while ago that it depends on the TV and the adapter.
Some adapters have to have external USB power to work.
Other adapters can be powered directly through the HDMI cable but that depends on if the TV supports that feature, if it doesn't then you have to use the external USB power (You can use a spare USB port on the TV).
I hope this Helps
It's for a mobile solution, Video Transmitter which only accepts HDMI v1.4.
Do you know which MHL adapters don't require external power, or is it a cable/phone thing? I could get external 5v, but then I'd need a BEC or another battery.

The Note 4 has MHL v3; has anyone successfully connected it to an HDMI source without external 5v with an ebay cable? If so which one?
Thanks.
When I search if Samsung Galaxy S8 supports MHL or not, I am getting crazy.
50% of online articles say S8 does not support MHL including mhltech.org link and technipages
Another 50% of online articles say S8 supports MHL.
It obviously supports USB-C to HDMI Adapter which is only one side with Type-C port and another side with HDMI port cable.
If S8 does NOT support MHL, what is the difference between "USB-C to HDMI Adapter" and "MHL"?
Does "USB-C to HDMI Adapter" have worse video output than "MHL"?
Thanks a lot.
The Galaxy S8 uses Displayport alternate mode for video signal.
This is a "standard" feature of the USB-C standard.
You can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter, but you can directly connect USB-C screens to the phone.
Another advantage is that it supports charging the phone in the meantime (using USB power delivery).
USB-C supports ultra-HD screens and several monitors (but not with the S8).
MHL was used on older Samsung devices which sent video signal over a micro-USB connector.
This is somewhat of a hack, as micro-USB wasn't indended for video signal.
So yes, USB-C is much better than the old MHL standard.
