No mhl Support but shure you can use USB Otg on your Nexus 7.

Someday, hopefully sooner than later, there will be some wireless options available to do that type of thing. There are some demo videos showing those types of things and they are coming... wires are going away... right this sec, not avail yet.

MHL Mirroring

Hey, could someone with the fone in hand confirm if Mirroring is possible through MHL as well as general video/picture sharing?
Cheers
Nobody knows, no one have a mhl cable atm
I'm hoping to be able to test this soon, as the MHL consortium are trying to source an MHL cable/adapter for me, if they are able to get one (they seem to be having some difficulty at present) then I will upload videos etc to demo this functionality. Barring them being able to supply me one then we'll be waiting until June, when the Samsung adapters are scheduled for release (listed at Clove).
Hey there NZtechfreak, I've seen your video of the SGS with bluetooth keyboard/mouse will full mirroring over rca.
Thats exactly what i want to be able to do , and I assume you are in the same boat.
I'm getting my SGS2 either today or tomorrow, so if i can somehow source a cable, i'll try it and report back here as well.
Thanks
Burko, I'll wait for your tests!!! I want to do the same thing. galaxy s II, mhl mirroring, bluetooth keyboard/mouse: a little netbook.
Thanks!!!

MHL USB Adapter Support?

Hello everyone. Within a month of receiving my tablet last year, I (or someone else using the tablet) somehow managed to damage one of the pins in the USB port and it no longer works. However, while researching the GNExus (I intend to purchase it soon) I began to wonder if the MHL Adapters for USB OTG will work with the Iconia? If anyone can confirm if it works or not I will greatly appreciate it. Here's a link to one that I intend to buy for the GNExus.

Thanks in advance!
Did you ever figure this out? I've had the a500 for awhile, just got the Nexus, picked up mhl adapter at same time. Would be slick if it works for a500 as-is, though I wouldn't be surprised if the micro-hdmi is much better to use...
Need to just get a micro-hdmi cable...
I think you misunderstood. I was referring to the USB OTG adapters. I did take the risk and buy one and unfortunately it doesn't work with the A500. Nothing I plug into it gets any power. Tried it with a friends HTC One X and it didn't seem to work there either. Not sure if it was supposed to work on the One X though.
Basically, it could just be a faulty cable, but it could also mean that it just isn't supported. Couldn't hurt to try if you already have one though
I already have a Micro-HDMI cable that I bought on Amazon a while ago. Works great and at $5 its a worthwhile investment
I'm running ****'s ICS ROM v158 based on Android 4.0.4 if it makes any difference.

HDMI out and OTG support?

So, I know it just came out today, but damn this device sounds amazingly superior.
So does anyone know if it has HDMI out or Micro-USB to HDMI out? Anything about OTG so we can use usb keyboards, mice, flash drives, etc?
I am seriously considering selling my iPods for this thing. I already have a Kindle Fire, but I might sell that too for this thing...

That is what i am thinking, since it is a nexus product the developers should be able to rape the nexus7 with alot of goodies.
If it does not have the innards to support it, MHL support might not be so easy to add in. I'm just hoping they're not holding back for the sake of Nexus Q sales. But I suspect, that may be exactly what is happening.
We'll see, I hope it has the support built right in.
USB keyboards, mice and "other devices" are supported.

Other things may be supported, however, Engadget has confirmed the Nexus 7 does not support MHL. It has no way to connect an HDMI cable and get video output to a TV/monitor. Ah yes, it appears they are holding back for sales of that Nexus Q...

Where in that article does it confirm no MHL support? They even suggest using an MHL adapter if you want HDMI out...
[Edit] I see at the very end of the post they updated. I missed it the first time[/Edit]

[Q] MHL Cable for Grand Prime ?

HI Guys
I want to buy a MHL cable, but I want to make sure that it works. Did someone tried a MHL Cable on Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime ?

NO. MHL cable will not work with this device. Here is a quote from "GSM Arena" review:
Wired connectivity is handled by a microUSB 2.0 port, which lacks MHL, leaving wireless mirroring as the only TV-out option.

You can read the full review on the following link:
Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime review: Mirror shot
The issue of MHL is addressed on page 3 under the heading "connectivity".
Hope this answers your question. Best of luck :good:
So this means there is not mhl that will work with grand prime? Or is there a specific one?
Grand Prime does not have MHL capability or technology. So no, no cable will work, try a different "newer" phone.
Or you can purchase a gentrification mirroring dongle with no proprietary software. It allows you to connect to the same wifi and mirror with the help of miracast or airplay app from google playstore. I got mine from wish for around $10, shipping included.

USB type C to HDMI out?

I was browsing Amazon and noticed some USB-C hubs that had HDMI out. Would those work with this phone or do they only work with devices like newer Apple laptops?
Edit: So I went to the MHL website to see if that much was supported at least, and the Axon 7 is not currently listed as an MHL supported device. I'm not sure how often they update the list though.
I'm also interested in wired video-out solution, I hate laggy wireless in games! We have to wait for any owner to report if MHL or any other adapter works or not.

manu7irl Thank you for your post. The Axon 7 doesn't support MHL from USB-C to HDMI. You can always cast wirelessly to a chromecast or another supported device. Hope this helps.

Just wanted to say that all hope for wired video output is not lost, yet.
There's a fairly new Technology called DisplayLink.
It uses USB 3.0 for video output. The only downside being you would need to use a DisplayLink Certified USB docking station in conjunction with the DisplayLink app.

This is me asking!
There is still a possibility to use AOA 2.0 protocol it is kernel supported natively.
there a docking station working on that good old protocol and it is a really clever docking station,
also it is CES 2k16 AWARD WINNING.
You can check my own investigation in that post:

Does any phone even support MHL anymore. That was such a great thing with my LG OG and then all of the sudden none of the new phones support it just some BS ass mircast.
