hello to all
being that the mhl cable won't work on s7 edge does anybody knows if this would work before i buy one=

From my understanding mhl is not enabled in s7. Mirrorcasting should work though to stream video and audio.

I hate that it seems like current Android OS doesn't support MHL. This is one of the reason I kept my iPhone. Its a bad idea to have to use WIFI to stream a video and then have to use it to cast a video at the same time.
What are you looking to do?

Would the Samsung micro usb to hdmi adapter do the job?
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
nope it is not supported on the edge 7 i still have my old one from the galaxy s5 no go
well the Belkin Miracast Video Adapter HDMI For Android or Windows came today works fine with my s7 edge and my dell laptop and tablet so i guess no need for a mhl cable adapter. very happy camper today
Chromecast is a nice cheap option as well.

I have an Acer iconia a500, a rca television, and a micro hdmi cable. After many failures i took my iconia to bestbuy, where they successfully connected my tablet to a lg tv with full mirroring. My tv's hdmi input is working properly, (tested by a xbox connected with an hdmi cable). After conencting the cable from my iconia to the rca tv the message unusable signal remains on the screen. Whats the problem?
Thanks for your help!
I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that the RCA unit didn't support the a500 native resolution. I wonder if there is a build.prop resolution hack for this.
Are you rommed and rooted?

Did the bestbuy guys used your cable? Try different cable or your original cable to another tv.

I tried to have both the iconia and the tv off, connect the cord to both ends, and turn both on . is that what was supposed to work?
Yes that's what is suggested from vendors.

rca and nvidia
This is going to sound stupid.but I had a 42 inch RCA LCD TV.when i would try to connect my nvidia graphics laptop to the TV same issue.even tried a desktop.using the VGA port.would not work.I added a old sis.video adaptor to the computer.it connected right away.there was a web site I found back then about this.
I still do not understand why it was such a issue.but you are having the same as I had forget about it.I did send a report to nvidia and RCA.but no response.
My tab connects to both my TVs now I gave the RCA to my mother and got a Sanyo.its a OK 47 inch.my other is a 40 inch Samsung led and it Rocks can connect anything play videos on the tab to TV across wifi.as well as HDMI my tab will also use a Samsung wifi remote app to control the TV.
Sorry for your luck if you figure it out I would love to know what I was doing wrong.
Thanks good luck erica
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a video out option for PCs, Ive only been able to find mhl hdmi adapters for the nexus 7.. would it be possible to modify the hardware of an mhl adapter and/or develop an app that allows a PC video in connection via microUSB for use as a dual monitor?

dont think so
The 10 hasn't been set up with miracast yet. So I believe the answer is no. You gotta have Google TV also for miracast to work. So the only idea I can think of is micro HDMI to HDMI to TV.

Miracast has nothing to do with Google TV however, HDMI will work.
Does the android tablets act as stupid as the ipad does when you connect it to the tv? I dont want the screen of my tablet to stay on and waste battery while its playing in the tv thru HDMI.

The Infinity when connected to TV through HDMI when playing a movie the screen on the Infinity will shut off or go on a screen saver mode. I'm not sure about the N10.
Edit:Now that I have my N10. Hdmi works flawless. Mirrors everything even on bootscreen. Netflix runs just fine through hdmi cord to tv.

How doesn't it? Doesn't the tablet need the Google TV WiFi connection to "miracast" on to the TV?

Miracast is not a google invention, it's a wifi alliance standard using wifi direct to connect any two devices, not necessarily a tv
Hi guys,
I recently bought a google nexus 4 running android 4.2.1 stock.
I have been trying to connect it to my tv using a HML adapter however when i connect it all up and set the tv to the appropriate setting (HDMI 1)
the screen just remains blank and there is no sound.
I have been unable to find a tv out option anywhere in settings, and i am wondering if it should just work when connected automatically or is there a setting somewhere i have been unable to find?
Thanks for the help!
The nexus 4 does not have a MHL chip in it. You will have to get a miracast wireless display adapter or slimport cable

Thanks. .I have one of those that I used with the Og Evo!!! It's nor working with this phone. Is there any differences between mhl adaptes or r they all the Same? ?

Yup u need the one designated for the s4. I sent u that link as an example of what they are. Personally I would get it from samsung. I've bought 3 that said they work with s4 and they didnt. I have a friend who got the one from Samsung and his works fine.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
a lot of them DO work with the S4 still that are "older" mhl adapters, but you also need the 5 to 11 pin adapter for those to work like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0089...qid=1388224095&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
Otherwise, just get one line what was noted a couple of posts up, as it's already utilizing the 11pins and saves you the trouble. (make sure you're getting a legit one & check the reviews!)
Alternately, you can get the allshare cast hub (by Samsung) which also mirrors via hdmi.
It is also possible without an mhl dongle or allshare cast hub to push things (pics, movies & youtube) directly if you have tv/home theater/blu ray that's dlna enabled to push to.
I've done it from the older mhl w/ 11 pin adapter, newer 11 pin, allshare hub & by dlna enabled device without issue. I mainly use the latter nowawdays, but still use the other methods on occasion because of the screen mirroring.
As a side note, both mhl adapters are OEM.
Its sad I didn't know this thing had HDMI out capabilities
