USB-C Type C to HDMI HDTV TV Cable Adapter Compatible for Samsung Galaxy S8 S9 Plus Note 8 9 Lenovo Yoga 910 Dell XPS 13/15 MacBook/Pro iMac 2017 Chromebook Pixel Dell XPS 13 and More

I wanted this cable to output video from my Samsung S4 to my lcd TV, but the problem is that I only got video and no audio. I contacted the seller and they immediately sent me another cable. The result was the same: video yes, audio not. I followed another reviewer suggestion (worked for him) and I downloaed an app. for android which would let me change the audio output of my phone to HDMI, but id didn't work for me. Try another one from a different company? I don't know. I fell I waste more money. I gave up. Too bad because the video was pretty good. So I would caution anyone that it may not work for you. I don't understand why it work for some and not others. If anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate to know. My TV is a six years old Philips 720P with 2 HDMI ports ( I tried both ). I appreciate the responsiveness of the company (CNUS) for sending quickly a new cable.UPDATE on 9/15/13just a few days ago I bought a new 3D TV and I tried this cable again and this time it worked without any problem. As the commentator on my post stated, the problem was with my OLD TV HDMI port not being MHL compatible. His comment makes me understand that problems can be caused by other factors, including TVs, Cellphones and anything else in the chain, not just the cable itself, and of course remember even the best product that we buy can come out of the assembly line defective. I'll raise this cable rating to five stars. I'm satisfied.

Full story. I bought one of these these cables but never saw it show up at the correct address. So I was not around to receive it. Guessing one of the local kids stole it by the time I got to location it was mailed to, which was about a week. The good news is that the company sent another one to the correct address. Back to the bad news, it did not work with my phone. The good news is that it did work perfect on a friends phone, I think it's a Samsung 5?. All and all, my friend loves this cable. Cable lengths are great and charges his phone while he stream movies to his tv. I was also told that he added a blue tooth mouse/key pad so he could leave the phone by the tv [charging] and control everything from his armchair...!

My rating only describes this product not the company behind it. What i mean by this is that when i first ordered this product, it did not work. this is because I purchased the Galaxy S2 and S3 version, which does not work with other micro USB smart phones because it is a 12 pin connector as opposed to a regular 5 pin. I contacted the company who promptly sent me the 5pin that my Galaxy nexus required. I was very impressed with them for this, even though it was completely my fault for not purchasing the correct cable, they sent me the replacement one for free! However.. when I did get the correct cord, it worked.. sort of. If nothing on the screen is moving, it flashes black, then to the phone then black again. It does this every other second, which is extremely irritating. However if you are watching a movie or video, it works 100%! So if you are buying this for watching netflix from your phone or something, it works just fine; but i wouldn't get it if you want it to be able to browse facebook, text, or email on a bigger screen. Product is unstable and flaky, company is very prompt pleasurable.

Not only does this cable cost less, but works just as well. I have a Samsung S4 and have not had any problems so far. I did realize that my Sony Bravia TV HDMI plug in was not MHL ready so I had to plug in the USB into the charger that came with the phone. The phone does not get charged when plugged in, but it does seem to slow down the battery drain. I can typically watch 5 hours on a full charge and still have about 50 % battery. Sometimes I have to wiggle the connection into the phone to get it to connect, but once again for the price I can live with that.

This cable was a fake, it didn't work so I cut it open and the pin out is not functional and never was functional

I admit to buying this on impulse with a fist full of other accessories for a brand new Galaxy S4 without reading threw the complete description. While I waited for it to drop on my door step I had a foreboding fear that it wasn't going to work at all with my device and it was a very real possibility. These simple MHL cables all say they are not compatible with my device but its not entirely true.I'm not sure if its because of the ROM I'm using (I am running CyanogenMod 10.1.2 instead of the factory Samsung TouchWiz) and it works! I use this as a cludgy pseudo dock for my phone and I'm pretty happy with it. The down side is that its only 720p. Its good enough to watch movies and browse the web at a decent resolution, but 1080p it is not.On a 5' phone screen I also have a problem with UI scaling that I need to address, text and UI take up a lot of screen real-estate despite the change in display size but this is an Android problem rather than an issue with the cable. Being a simple solution to the problem of docking, necessary settings do not exist for either the device or peripheral (cable) so that will have to be managed by either apps or future updates to the OS software.<obsolete>This cable also charges your device while its in use (if you plug it into your charger or an active PC USB port) it douse not support data over USB though. Since the connection is pushing HDMI out there isn't enough bandwidth to handle that kind of connection so plugging the device into a PC will likely not even recognize that the state of the port has changed unless your computer is configured to monitor port voltages.I did have a problem with charging the first time I used it. I was not prepared for the cable to provide a bear minimum voltage (3v, standby- as in waiting for a device) from USB and over the coarse of a night left on the cable to charge my battery only trickle charged 15-30%. The instructions for the device explicitly say to use your factory charger but a PC is an option if you can configure your voltage to constantly push 5v though most motherboards and expansion cards do not have this feature prior to USB 3.0 and even those that do might have occluded it to keep the price down.</obsolete><EDIT>After using this for about a week I discovered that on an S4 it doesn't actually charge your device. one reason why Samsung pushes their 30 pin adapter so hard for HDMI-out is because of the power required to generate a video signal your TV/monitor can use. as far as I understand it, this is caused by the signal coming from the Devices GPU and requiring extra voltage to make it the "last mile" to your TV/Monitor. the Samsung adapter acts as an amplifier for the power, a feature a basic cable lacks.on other MHL devices this means your device may charge when the monitor is off but, like with Samsung's proprietary adapter, you more or less break even on power consumption (so it won't drain your battery when its on) this means that for S4 owners, it will work but only as long as your battery holds up.</EDIT>The quality of the cable is surprisingly high too. The plastic shielding on the outside is firm and thick compared to some of the thing wires inside (also based off my experience with some remarkably cheap cables in the past) it should be somewhat capable of resisting crimp/crushing damage as well as repeated coiling if you use it on the road. Though I haven't owned it long enough to test the theory it douse seem a little brittle though so a pinch might result in permanent damage to either the wire inside or the shielding outside (the plastic feels a bit dry and not as grippy as some of the higher quality cables you can buy)Pro's - the cable works like you expect it to, it mirrors your device screen on your TV/HDMI compatible monitor, pushes sound with fast and responsive video from your compatible device. This opens up a realm of cludgy pseudo docking options to you if you are prepared to use wireless accessories (keyboard, Mouse and NAS) rather than an official dock. The quality of the component is pretty good and seems like it will last a few years even if its tossed in your travel bagCon's - The cable only supports 720p in compatible devices. No data over USB and you need to use your factory charger to POWER your device, though it will function connected to a PC monitor (service) USB port for power they only provide enough power to run your device and maybe enough to trickle charge while in constant use.caveat emptor - if you are buying this for a Samsung Galaxy S4, or similar (recent) incompatible device, it MAY not work if Samsung has blocked generic MHL in the ROM. for Android power users with after market ROMS installed it may also require adjustments to system settings to function correctly. this is not an issue of hardware (i.e. the cable) but one of software on your handset
