Hi All
I have a problem which I need some advice. I have a LG g2 and I am using a Slimport adapter.
If I start GPS without plugging into HDMI it works and finds sat quite quick.
Once I plug in HDMI after 10-30 seconds I loose GPS and it wont find it at all.
I have tried a cheap and expensive Slimport and have tried powering the Slimport as well but no difference.
I use my slimport to use with Appradio on my pioneer avh-8500bt. But I have tried it both in the car and at home on my tv i get the same problem. When using at home on my tv I do not need to power the Slimport but in car I have to otherwise i get no video.
Its like the slimport is causing some kind of interfernce or it turns off gps. I am using oem rom and phone is rooted. On android 4.4.2.
Any help is great as I am now stuck and would love to use GPS in the car!
Thanks

If you're wondering if it's possible to use a Micro-USB extension cable with a Slimport adapter the answer is yes! I have successfully used one to connect my Nexus 4 to a Slimport SP1002 adapter, then connect that via HDMI to my Pioneer SPH-DA100 car stereo.The bulky adapter with its myriad of connections and super short cable to connect to my phone is now hidden under the center console.
I can't post links yet, to find the cable I used Google "angledcables" micro-b usb extension
Just curious, why do you use MyDP to connect to your car's headunit? movies for the kids? GPS?

GPS, and as a workaround for the poor audio output of the Nexus 4. Although the ability to watch Netflix while waiting in the car is nice, too.

hmmm... this didnt work for me with
Black 3 Foot USB 2.0 USB Micro B Male 5 Pin to USB Micro B Female 5 Pin Cable
by YCS basics
from amazon
but I'll order the other one and try it because it would be so much better if i could extend the slimport rather than hang that whole thing from my phone
it works!!!!!!
The cable from amazon did not work but the cable from angledcables.com worked! Even though the envelope says usbfirewire.com, they have different models of micro usb cables
I got the 12 inch version of :
Item #: RR-MCB-EXT-XXG5
and i can CONFIRM it is WORKING for AppRadio 3 as an extension between the phone and Slimport adapter.
I suppose it's a hit or miss depending on if the company wired the 4th pin through (Which is usually used for OTG) or not. Slimport uses all 5 pins.

After a few days I had to disconnect the extension because it makes things way too unstable. The slightest bump stops the video signal. You have to totally remove it and plug it back in before it works again. I might try a few things to fasten the connectors together but I might just go without it.

Sorry to revive an old thread. Did you get this sorted out?
I'm in same situation. I just got Pioneer AVH-x8500BHS and SlimPort adapter to mirror from my N5 to the x8500 HU.
But the Slimport is in my glovebox, I want to move it to my center console for easier access and better GPS signal.
I'm afraid all this plugging/unplugging of the SlimPort will eventually wear out the cable or the N5 port.
Anyone ever figure out a way to get the extension to work without it cutting in and out all the time?

There is a way on LG G2 D802 to show screen on car screen?
Any cable or something? Thanx.
I had in my car usb connection that works with iphone, that sync music and contact. It can used with lg g2 too?
You need to do the investigation about what you car "screen" supports since you don't provide any info. In general the answer is no. Very few aftermarket radios have Mirrorlink built in. I am not aware of car radios with HDMI inputs, to be able to use a Slimport adaptor. If your radio has composite video input you can go Mirrorlink/Slimport to HDMI->composite adapter to radio but it's going to be rather clunky with all the cables and power adapters unless you can find a way to hide them behind the dash.
Hi Guys,
I've installed the USB/BT Joystick Center GOLD app and purchased a USB BT CSR4.0 dongle, which connects ok to my S4 on Android 4.4.2
I can pair the wii remote, and bind the keys perfectly (after some playing around).
I run the game ( Halls of Fear VR for instance ) and i can move around, do what I want, but after about 1 minute the wii remote flashes as if its lost connection and then turns off.
I go back into the Joystick center, but I am unable to pair the controller until I remove the dongle and re-attach it, when I do this, i can then repeat the orignal steps and get about 1 more minute of gameplay.
Is this a setting in android for making the dongle "sleep" after a certain amount of time?
Any help would be appreciated.. as im desperate to be scared out of my mind in the world of VR!
I had the same problem and the only way that I found to fix it was replacing my non-powered usb hub with an AC powered one.
Just be sure that AC Adapter must be 2A (2000mA) or higher.
hi all, can someone please help out there that might help me deal with my situation.
I have a Pionner AVH-4100 NEX and am trying to get the AppRadio working between my Samsung S4 (Virgin Mobile CA SGH-I337M) running Version 5.0.1
I have rooted the phone and downloaded ARUR from Google Playstore and briefly tried it out but nothing was working any differently (as in not at all) than the then stock Pioneer Appradio, so i de-installed it.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, not following the right steps or missing a piece. But I would thought that something would have changed on the HU with ARUR.
Connection settings are Other, HDMI. I am connected with HDMI cable to Samsung HDMI Adapter (et-h10fauwesta).
I have tried plugging the cable and adapter into my HDTV and get mirroring on the TV so I know the cable and adapter work.
I am in need of some ideas or steps I may have overlooked.
thanks
I've tried a couple of devices that claim to connect V20 to tv by wired usb c to HDMI connector. They work for a while then the picture is lost or the phone itself freezes up. About the longest play I've gotten successfully is an hour but usually something goes wrong within 15 minutes.*
The phone has been out over 6 months now so I thought someone may have found a really dependable HDMI connector? I don't mind the lack of power in because I can always change batteries but phone should be able to play through HDMI long enough to watch one movie. That's all I really need hut I don't want to have to screw around with it 10 times to watch one movie.
Thanks so much for your help!
I've been wanting to make use of this feature, but haven't extensively yet. I have though gotten to make fair use of a micro-USB to HDMI adapter. A few trouble spots come to mind here.
Sounds like you're powering the adapter/phone from an external power source? How good is that power source? My micro-USB to HDMI was distinctly less reliable when plugged in since I was merely powering it from a normal USB port. Try running it entirely from the phone's battery. If this works better then it could be you really need a higher power source when using the adapter.
How good is your HDMI cable? Depending on how strongly the phone/adapter drives the HDMI signal, a lower quality cable could break the camel's back.
I've been running into a different bit of trouble with USB-C to HDMI adapters. I've found several of these, but whenever they've got a USB-C pass-through, the pass-through is strictly for power and does not carry the USB signals. The MyDP specification allows for USB3 to be passed through if 1 or 2 pairs are used for the HDMI signal, but allows for USB2 to be passed through no matter how many pairs are used for the HDMI signal. There are adapters which also include USB-A port(s), yet none which include an external USB-C with the USB signals. Grr!
I use C to HDMI not micro usb. V20 doesn't use micro usb. It uses slimport. I have one adapter which allows simultaneous charging and one strictly slimport C to HDMI. Both behave the same way. I have a high quality 2.5 foot HDMI wire.
Power source was Samsung tv usb powered output 1 amp. Point is I have the same issue with pure slimport and no charging.
The one that allows simultaneous charging does in fact charge and work but always craps out but so does the slimport C to HDMI.
Hmm, entertaining what you find when you do research. I suspect the V20 is using the "MyDP" specification, which is the official specification name behind "Slimport". Seems there are at least two other video out methods for USB-C.
I haven't done enough with the video-out feature of my V20 to have much experience yet. With a V10 whenever an adapter was plugged in without external power there were no problems, but when an adapter with external power was plugged in video wasn't reliable.
I'm interested in reading if you find out anything.

Sorry I haven't tried, but its seems to connect smoother the a wifi dongle.
does anyone know if there's a compatible dongle for the V20 with not only hdmi but also power input and usb host?
Happening to me too - Any suggestions
Your situation's description fits my problem exactly. I have a USB C to HDMI that was vouched as working by several V20 owners. I plug it into my Dell monitor to play games on a bigger screen. It works well for a while, then disconnects and popup on my screen says something like, "LG Bridge has stopped working do you want to exit?". Once this happens, it's almost impossible to get the V20 to share the screen again. It's not a hub, just a USB C (male) to HDMI (female).
