HDMI-cable and joypad for LG G2

alexsoin · Jan 19, 2014

I wonder if someone thought to connect their G2 to TV or monitor using microUSB-HDMI adaptor? I couldn't find anything designed specially for G2 (only G2x). I tried with my old SGS3 microUSB-HDMI adaptor and it didn't work. I know some of you guys can send a link for compatible/tested model.

Another concern about PS3 bluetooth joypad as a control for some games on G2. Any chance this combination cam work? I saw only posts about SGS3 and SGN2 combined with these joysticks.

I'd think the normal MHL adapter would work. Samsung changed their MHL adapters so that might be the source of your issues

Lg G2 uses slimport

And yes u can use a ps3 controller om your phone if u are rooted and bye the app sixaxis controller.

OP, you need to use Slimport compatible cable or Miracast receiver (it's more expensive, but wireless). If your TV have DLNA/Miracast feature built-in, you don't need anything more to hook phone up to TV wirelessly

Personally I have ordered this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MYDP...-7-2013-E960-Supports-Full-HD/1389515555.html

I've ordered also iPega PG-9025: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/IPEGA-PG-9025-Multimedia-Bluetooth-Controller-Black/1611803835.html

If you will have some questions, I'll answer after end of the month, because package will be delivered in this time

AliExpress is good but shipping time is ridiculous. Had to whate 39days for a USB cable. Quality is often realy pore but u get what u pay for so win win.

My Nillkin Fresh (QuickWindow) case was delivered in 14 days, I'm living in Poland. It depends how long it takes in repacking/airport.

I have very simple 37 inch JVC so it doesn't have fancy things like MHL and Miracast. SGS3 worked perfect 1080p with2$ adaptor microUSB to HDMI + USB (for charging). I'll try slimport, thanks for suggestion.

And special thanks for the good news about PS3 controller.

MHL is the USB connection on your phone. Basically it's usb to Hdmi

But there are two standards MHL and slimport

Think apple Use a third one.

Something like this should work:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slimport-My...695?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e77502af
I bought one that looks exactly like this, I don't have the exact link but this is the same thing. You have to plug in the USB to a wall charger or PC USB port, and you need to be on a stock rom because slimport doesn't work with any of the CM or AOSP based roms I tried.

Using this cable, the G2 actually outputs a pretty good video feed at 1080P. The colors look a bit washed out on my PC monitor but the speed is good and games can run at around 40+ FPS (as opposed to 60 FPS when not using slimport and just running on the phone). I also use the Moga Pro controller, it's Bluetooth and has very little input lag, I don't have a PS3 controller.

I just wish CM would fix slimport, it is a huge feature for me.

I just bought recently G2, came from S3, very good phone

Im happy with it and its quiet interesting to connect it to TV and gamepad... I think I will try buy one of those EBAY slimports to test it, but Im thinking about cheap chinese ps3 controller, anyone tried it on this phone for gaming? And is it worth to play games like this? Because alot of games uses alot of touches

Hmm, I have a question, what about to connect Xbox controller via USB to phone ? The external power is demanding ?

So, basically :

* MHL cable => to connect USB port of LG G2 to HDMI of the TV ( only for CM & AOSP based rom )

* SLIMPORT cable => to connect USB port of LG G2 to HDMI of the TV ( only for STOCK based rom )

It's correct ?

Would love to know this as well

Strange, on ebay I can see always cable with "MHL" and "SLIMPORT", both...

G2

I tried using a star tech slimport adapter to be able to view my g2 on my TV but it doesn't work. The TV is a LG from 2005. Is the TV too old?

Nope. G2 uses Slimport, not MHL. It's a hardware difference (basically, DisplayPort vs HDMI), even if the adapter looks similar.
