Is this HDMI to Micro HMDI or USB to Micro USB? Surely HDMI to Micro Usb would be as useful as trying to connect the two ports with a string of spaghetti?

I'm assuming it's hdmi to micro hdmi.... Good deal if so.

The description is right, these are like slim port adapters to allow you to output your Android phone etc to the TV

good point well made, forgot about that. Is it an mhl cable?

Just had a look never seen one before. You cant charge your phone at same time as you do with an mhl adapter, so it could be a pain in the ass when your batterys running low.

I bought one months ago to see if they were any use for either an LG G2 or HTC One X. Worked on neither. What is the purpose of the cable as I couldn't find one on google.

Not sure its MHL as MHL requires an external power source to power the internal components.

I bought this and found it useless. I've got one device that supports MHL and another that is slimport. This cable didn't work with either device.

It's HDMI to Micro HDMI (people here are confusing this with Mini HDMI)

It's not hdmi to micro hdmi. The pack is wrongly labelled

So has anybody managed to get THIS cable (not a different one bought elsewhere) to do anything useful?
And if so, connecting what model phone or tablet to what tv?
Showing at +305 hot now, and that seems kinda flattering for a piece of junk, even a £1 piece of junk - if that is what it is.

Aware of that. And HOX is MHL. That was the point. I was trying to ascertain if it was a slimport or an MHL port. It appears to be neither.

Poundland buy up end of lines and cheap stock which very often does not work, relying on most people do not bother to take it back, or lost the receipts, myself included.
Has anyone bought this item from Poundland and found it actually works? Or is it more money making duff stock?
