HDMI cable

Folks

Can you recommend a cable that charges the phone and connects to HDMI at the same time. Sort of a two in one cable. My relative plays the phone video all day long connected to the TV

Thx

It's my understanding you can't get and HDMI cable to work on a Nexus 6.

That technology is called MHL and N6 does not support it.

Keep in mind too, if you have a tablet (like I have galaxy tab pro), it supports MHL. But if you use custom ROM, you will likely lose the MHL function.

Does it support SlimPorts?

Nope

MHL and SLIMPORT is supported according to this ^

It is incorrect. Google wanted people to buy the Chromecast, so they did not put in support for either MHL or SlimPort.

Correct. I own all types of mhl cable(powered/un-powered) and none work or not detected by TV when used with Nexus 6.

Neither actually function, and I've seen Motorola/Google Engineers respond to a question about this on the AOSP bug-tracker saying that they disabled it on the SoC of the Nexus 6.

Sorry, no, they disabled it on the SoC they shipped in the Nexus 6.

Per slimport employees at CES 2015, Google removed support at the last minute before release to manufacturing. They said it was a very big surprise because support had been included during development.
