Can I just buy a normal micro USB on one end and a HDMI on the other or is the slip port a requirement on the nexus 4 for video out? I can't seem to find anything about it. Thanks

I tried using the Samsung mhl cable that I used worth my gnexus but it would not work. When I plugged in the gnex it worked, but not nexus 4. I then tried my wife's nexus 4 and same thing. Do you think I need a diffident cable. Can anyone confirm if they got it to work

It uses a new standard called slim port. Its like having a display port. There is only one cable out that I have found on amazon but its $30. Sucks they changed that standard but it is what lg is doing. Do seem to have a few advantages over mhl.

Eww, I was hoping it is backward compatible with MHL
Now connection to my Pioneer AppRadio will have to be reworked.
Not really much of an availability of these slim port HDMI adapters either... that one from Amazon doesn't seem to ship outside US :banghead:

I have a rocket fish micro USB to hdmi cable. But it doesn't work.
Just wanted to know if there are only certain cables that work, is it a rom issue or what?
Thanks in advance.

Nexus 4 doesn't use normal mhl cables, only slimport

I'm assuming this a hardware issue then. No way to use what I already own

Two different technologies. You have to buy a slimport adapter.
Wich cable do i need to use my nexus 4 on Hdmi screen??
Can someone recommend a cable on ebay??
Thanks
I believe its called an MHL adapter, although i could be mistaken. Maybe someone else can chime in?

This works as well.

Unfortunately from what I have read, the N4 isn't compatible with MHL which really sucks because I have the stuff left over from my HTC Sensation.
The Nexus 4 utilizes Slimport which is based on the DisplayPort technology

Link to adapter on Amazon, works well with Stock and Paranoid from what I remember reading, not sure why others haven't merged it. I use it on CM10.1 despite not cloning the display properly, hopefully it will be fixed in one of the nightlies at some point.

I ordered today the slim port. Will be here tomorrow and I'll let you know how it works.

The auxiliary ports on all phones are crap, does the Nexus 4 support exerting music through USB? If not, is there a kernel that has the capability of enabled that function? Thanks.

Probably yes, but you would need a Y cable splitter for the USB power. In the end you'd get a really bulky setup. Not worth it IMHO.

I don't need the power I just want to send info to my car audio.

That is called USB audio out. The Nexus 7 supports OTG of of the box, but even then it cannot support USB audio out.

So the chances of it working on a Nexus 4 is slim.
Did anyone manage to use a usb thumb drive with the regular OTG? I have one laying around in my room and AFAIK I need a custom rom to make the OTG feature to work. Since I am waiting for the official CM 10.2, I still run stock, I just wanna know if I have to buy the Y type...

The Nexus 4 cannot output 5v through the micro USB port.
The Y cable is your only way.
Look for the one with a male and female micro USB also with a female USB.

You should be able to use the cable you have but you would need to run it through a powered USB hub

Can someone tell me if this could work with OTG on nexus 4?? http://viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/I9500-I...B-Host-OTG-HUB--CARD-READER/161105862553/item

Look at post #795. If your linked device is like marhensa's, it should work. However, it's hard to determine exactly.
Of course you need to flash ziddey's kernel for any OTG to work.
