So after realizing that my MHL adapter doesn't work on the G2, I picked up a slimport adapter. It is hit or miss with it working. Here is what my results are:
Bedroom TV: Element (cheap Target brand) - video works at 480p but no audio
Livingroom TV: Relatively new Vizio from Costco - Nothing. No video/audio just like nothing is plugged in.
Son's Room TV: Unknown cheap brand from Amazon - Works perfectly 1080p with audio
Work Samsung computer monitor: Works perfectly 1080p with audio
I have tried a different brand of slimport adaptor and different HDMI cables. All witth he exact same results on all the TVs. So this leads me to think that there might be something wrong with the way the phone is talking to the TVs. Anyone else experience any problems with slimport or have any solutions?

I updated my B60 U.S. Transformer with the Android 3.2 OTA update and decided to do some HDMI-output compatibility testing.
I used the following:
15-foot HDMI cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10240&cs_id=1024009&p_id=4959&seq=1&format=2
Mini-HDMI-to-HDMI adapter: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10419&cs_id=1041909&p_id=3653&seq=1&format=2
Here are my results:
Sony BRAVIA KDL-46Z4100 (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p set. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the BRAVIA picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the HDTV side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Sony BRAVIA KDL-40S300 (720p) - there is a an overscan display issue with this BRAVIA where a bit of each side is cut off on the HDTV. This BRAVIA doesn't have detailed enough controls to scale back the output display to make everything fit properly. It's not terrible, but it's not ideal looking either. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Westinghouse TX-42F430S (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p set. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the Westinghouse picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the HDTV side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Acer H233H (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p LCD computer monitor. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the Acer picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the monitor side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the monitor's built-in speakers.
Sony VAIO VGC-RT150Y - this is actually a desktop all-in-one computer system that happens to have an HDMI input. The Transformer changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the VAIO picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output centered on its 1920x1200 LCD panel. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the computer's speakers.
I hope this is of use for some of you out there.
why would you use a hdmi cable then an adapter and instead a actual mini hdmi cable
heres what im using http://www.monoprice.com/products/p..._id=1024201&p_id=3645&seq=1&format=4#feedback

I bought my 15-foot cable and the adapter some time ago before Monoprice started selling the straight cables that don't need adapters.
Anyway, I rarely connect anything with a mini- or micro-HDMI output, so it makes more sense for me to use standard HDMI (A) cables and then have adapters for when I need them.
More TV's
Thank you for this thread!
Now, are you guys going with your mini-HDMI cable to TV stores to try out HDMI-out compatibility? Thinking I could do that
I have a Samsung LE37xxx, hope it will work, would be kinky!
On another note, you may have to upgrade the TV's firmware because the newer ones (from few years back already) with USB etc. should be upgradeable...
I had a HDMI to mini HDMI adaptor that I bought off ebay however it did not work. I tried it on several different TV's and different cables and a receiver. Due to time constraints I bought a new replacement adaptor from Jaycar - tried it out and worked on two different Panasonic TV's. There were some overscan issues but I didn't have time to confirm if that was just a setting on the TV. I travel a lot for work hence the adaptor is better - don't want to carry the whole cable. If I am in a hotel with a TV with HDMI there is a good chance it will have a HDMI cable plugged into it that I can use.
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.
Simon
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?
I have a Tegra Note 7 and I cannot get the sound to work through HDMI. I connect the tablet to the TV using a micro HDMI cable and the video is fine, but there is no audio. Any solutions for this? Tablet is stock and rooted.

That's weird since mine has always worked fine, and there weren't any special settings to change or anything. I will say that the micro-HDMI port is kinda awful, and if the cable is wiggled at all, the signal cuts out, sometimes just the audio. You may want to troubleshoot by trying another cable and seeing if you have the same problem as well as trying this cable on another device with a micro-HDMI output, if any of that is an option.
I gather the Zenfone 2 has MHL capability - high definition video and audio (up to 7 channels) output to HDMI via a USB MHL cable/adapter. Has anyone tried connecting to a TV by this method?

GSMArena says that it did have MHL, but everyone who has tried had not gotten it to work, so I'd say it doesn't have it.

Good job I didn't buy an HML adapter I saw yesterday then
I tried to compile in Moorefield's HDMI into my kernel for fun the other day; not so great.
Phone booted up, but said that there was an hdmi connection ( without connecting anything ) and started overheating fast.
I'm guessing that there might be an hdmi connection on the board somewhere that connects to the microUSB bus, but it's soldered/jumpered over.

I think, it's full-featured HDMI connector reserved on SoC (in case if used in Android TV dongle), not MHL.
There is Intel WiDi wifi display service integrated in the Rom. How can we use that for wireless display to a pc or android/smart tv?
Mhl didn't work, tested and asked in zentalk, online chat support and in xda..
But i seen an apk with name hdmi don't know what it is for
I thought it can make sense to list here alternative options to use the continuum feature. Here is what I use:
- Aukey USB-C to HDMI adapter
- Supremery BT Keyboard within Touchpad
Good to see alternatives are working fine
Monoprice USB-C to HDMI adapter: works for video, but flaky connection. I also don't get any audio output.
Aukey USB-C to VGA adapter: the phone recognizes a USB device is connected, but doesn't work.
Microsoft Display Dock: Works well without issue of course. However, a few comments - it doesn't work without a power connection. It also doesn't like the Google dual-port USB-C charger and refuses to power up from that (despite the Google charger being capable of 5V / 3A just like the Microsoft one).
Works without issues with Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter for Macbook 12 Retina. And does not need necessarily current.
Continuum works great with the "Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter" too, sound and vision go to the TV/Monitor and phone turns into Trackpad. Just like using the dock but less hassle and wires.
I also tried my Roku3, it works but can be a little flaky
It dosn't work with XCSOURCE USB-C 56k ohm to HDMI /USB 3.1 Multiport Adapter for MacBook LT11
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311536382296
USB port works great...flash drive and keyboard works smooth...BUT HDMI dosn't work at all
Everytime when HDMI cable is inserted phone throw an error with dosn't recognized USB...
Hello,
I also bought the Aukey -C USB to HDMI adapter.
But on 2 Samsung tv , I have problems of disconnection and resolution.
If anyone can help me ....
Thank you in advance
i bought vtin vs1-vvc9h from amazon. Video works.. But i could not make audio to work.
I also bought vicTsing mx-vs1-PCL005B from amazon too. And video worked but audio did not.
I know audio works on ms hd500 with same monitor and cables
The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor v2 works well in continuum mode unless you use 5GHz wifi, in which case it is extremely poor, sound and display stutters like there is no tomorrow.
My Surface pro 2 (normal extended display) has the same issues connecting to it with 5GHz wifi used.
So in short, connect to your internet with a 2.4GHz wifi AP if you intend to use The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor.
I'm quite tempted to get the dock now as one of my office PCs is about to have a catastrophic HHD fail and continuum will kill several birds with a single stone.

Some people on reddit used this and it worked. Can someone confirm?
I have a LG 42LA660s Smart TV, with Miracast enabled. I just connected my phone to a wireless display, and the Continuum works. It is not flawless but I am satisfied with it.

With the coming of the new Macbook with USB-C, there are now quite a few new and cost effective alternatives on the market. I recently bought an unbranded dongle/dock thing which is advertised as to be used with the new Macbooks. It has a USB-C connector on one end, with a USB-A port, HDMI-out port, and USB-C charging port on the other. Works really well, got it for about 1100 INR / 17.50 USD
My display dock HD 500 with a lumia 950 does only view 720p on my full HD TV. Is there any chance to force 1080p output?
I'm gonna check this tomorrow on work where mine Lumia950 and HD500 are and a Dell 24" FHD screen.
Works fine with my Surface Go tablet and LG FHD 55" television. Surface Go with USB-C kabel and LG-tv with HDMI.
And also my Lumia950 works with it on my LG-tv or at work on HP 24".
