Is it possible to connect OTG and MHL together ?

[Tomalony]

Hello,
i'v just ordered myself a brand new 32GB MI2 and i want to know if its possible to conect OTG and MHL cables at the same time (and if its possible what is the right way/order)

my goal is to use my phone as a computer (keyboard&mouse) while connected to a tv screen.


Thank you !

Tom

I don't think it's possible as of right now. Might not even be possible at all. It would require a MHL cable that also has a OTG port built in. But I'm not sure if it possible since the MHL cable probably uses all the port on the Mi2 can handle...

Not sure whether it'll work since maybe the s3 has a different pinout.
You could try a cheap MHL adapter which has a charging micro-usb port though, just put in the otg cable.

(Or use a bluetooth mouse & keyboard)(or WIFI Display)

most bluetooth mouse & keyboard only connect to their own bluetooth dongle, but the wifi display is a good option ! i'l check it out thank you

No they don't, that's the beauty of blue-tooth. When pheripherals need dongles it's most likely radio-wave or infrared hardware.

i'l look for a good bluet00th keyboard + mouse from a known brand & check it out.
if the MHL + bluetooth keyboard&mouse work i'l upload a video of it.

thanks !

I connect my mi2s with an MHL adaptor to my tv and a bt mouse to use it
Dead easy to connect both devices, no setup at all. Just plug n play.
Only notice that the adaptor must be Galaxy SII compatible, since S3 will not work.

I have bought an mhl cable, it is 4meters long so i can use my device to handle the menu navigation. The only matter for me is the keyboard, because virtual keyboard hides most of the available display.

Go for a bt keyboard. I cannot see a reason why it will not work...
My bt mouse is a cheap one from eBay and works like a charm

btw Έλληνας είσαι?
