Hi Guys,
I have an Imito MX2 and have been trying to hook it up to my monitor that has an HDMI input, but it doesn't "boot" up (Screen doesn't display anything). I have played with the monitor settings and still nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I know people have said they were able to hook it to a monitor but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance!

your tv has probably multiple hdmi ports, you need to have a close look at your remote control for a button that switches between all ports (like hdmi1, hdmi2, vga,....)
try all hdmi ports
if this doesn't work, make sure your stick is well connected to the hdmi port, if yes, make sure also that the power usb cable is connected
when the stick is on, you'd normally see a led light on it
if still not working, contact the person/website you got this stick from.
good luck

Thanks For your Help, but I forgot to clarify a problem. The monitor I'm using isn't a TV (It's a computer monitor). Before I purchased the Imito, I've read that people were able to get it displaying on their monitor. The second thing is, the monitor doesn't have an HDMI in Port, instead it has a Display port. I am using a Female HDMI to Male Display Port and that doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm stupid, but, shouldn't that work? Thanks in advance again!

Hello!
Just got my Nexus 10 and I tried to connect the Mirco-HDMI out to my LG 42LD420 tv.
However, screen is all black and nothing happens. When I connect to my new PC screen HDMI port the image is mirrored instantly and it just works...
So I guess theres some new standards in Micro-HDMI that my TV doesn't support?
Just wanna clear this problem by making sure its my tv. And btw, other devices works just fine on the tv HDMI port...
Thanks for any info.

Whenever HDMI has problems it's usually HDCP that is the culprit.
Thanks! Googled some about it and I realize the problem New TV then I guess or try with some adapters to analog input...
I just ran into this the other day myself with a Samsung TV. I thought maybe it was the TV was only capable of 720p or something...
I'd get sound through from the N10, no picture though.
Also tried an MHL cable with my GNex and nothing as well.
Both devices work no problem on either of my PC monitors, and the PS3 has no problem with that cable/port on the TV.
Are there any workarounds?
My quick search indicates that it's possible that it can be cable specific? ie. Will work for some devices but not others? Does that even make sense?
Hay all,
I got one of these recently to connect to one of my monitors.
My monitor has a display port not HDMI and I have an adaptor for it this one.
It fits well and all, but my device will not power on when plug in via this adapter, I've seen a few issues with this but cant find a answer if there is one.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Has anyone fixed it or has an idea?
Any help would be appreciated

Re: HDMI to DisplayPort gives no signal on monitor

From displayport.org;
Q: I just purchased a monitor that only has a DisplayPort connection. How can I hook this up to my computer that only has VGA, DVI or HDMI?
A: There is not a cost effective way to do this. The adaptors that are available only work from a DP computer to a VGA, DVI or HDMI monitor and not the other way around. If you have a desktop you can purchase a graphics card with DisplayPort. Our best advice: Before you purchase a DP only monitor make sure you have DP on your computer.
Basically, you can't use the DisplayPort connection on your monitor with ANY device that only has VGA, DVI, or HDMI outputs, without the use of an expensive converter that may not produce acceptable results. Please follow Dave's advice and try to use a HDMI-to-DVI adapter.
Please send KUDOs

Solution was used a HDMI to DVI... or anything else really not a display port
These phones apparently support MHL, but I can't get it to work. I've got a mini USB to HDMI lead, but don't get any output at all. How do I make it work, is it supposed to just show my screen as soon as I plug it in, or do I have to use an app? Does it have to be powered or something?

What kind of MHL cable is it? It needs to be an 11-pin one (made for S3/Note 2/S4).

What device are you trying to use it with? Does it itself support MHL?
I just thought any tv would display it through HDMI as an input, didn't realise the device I connected my phone to mattered. Coincidentally though it is a Samsung. And aren't mhl cables all the same then? Samsung made their own to be arkward?
Think you need mhl 2 for the s4 and for it to display 60hz
Hi all,
I've just ordered this gorgeous phone and am waiting for it to be delivered. In the meantime I've been wondering given that it's capable of HDMI output and serve as USB host whether it is possible of it doing both at the same time, if say I hooked up the HDMI output along with other usb devices, like a USB drive and a keyboard via a usb HUB. I would be practically creating a bespoke docking station of sorts..
I know it's pushing the technology a little... and there are other alternatives to USB devices (NAS drives, wireless mouse/keyboards...), but my question is more about what the device is capable of.
Thanks.
Update:
So far I've successfully managed to plug in an old USB hub via a cheap micro-usb to USB adapter bought off e-bay. From there I hooked up a USB keyboard, Mouse, pen drive and also USB speakers.
I'm amazed it actually managed to power all of these devices without any problems (imagine battery drain is massive given that the usb hub is unpowered).
I would like to know if anyone has tried hooking up HDMI output while the USB is hosting other devices. Has anyone tried this already? I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question.
As a side note, does anyone know of a docking station for the G2, similar to what you get with laptops?
Did you figure out the answer to this?

No, I have not yet tried this out. I had bought an HDMI cable/device thing but never got it to work on my TV.. apparently it had something to do with the technology that the phone uses for HDMI not being compatible with older Samsung TVs.
Would be great if anyone else has tried this out could post here, whatever the outcome
Hi guys, is there a way to mirror the phone's screen to other display (let it be a monitor or TV) using USB-C->HDMI cable? Does it matter what cable to buy? Can you recommend one? Are there any caveats to this? Do I need to set the phone somehow or install some app?
Thanks a lot
It will just work from my experience...
I've also bought this thing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078X9N26D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works as dex station if connected to power supply and as hdmi if not.
The only bug for this is that it slowly discharges your phone even if it's connected to power...
it works, you don't need a Dex pad anymore.
I believe any usb c to HDMI will work, but I would recommend using a wireless charger with it.
Probably better off just getting the dex station cause either way you go it would be the same amount of money cause I wouldn't recommend going cheap
I know it's ridiculous to ask; but would a NIntendo Switch Dock actually work? Considering it's similar, and the board can be taken to a Very small case, essentially, a mini dock

In Android Q beta, you can get DEX by using your regular USB cable with the PC
