need help tv mirroring??

I too see there is code that suggests we have hdmi/mhl compatibility because its set to true by default (even if theres a # in front of it)

On every other device I've had the build prop always said hdmi false by default.

I dont have an mhl cable to test but someone who is rooted and has a mhl cable should at least try.

Its possible that is can support hdmi and for all we know they decided to disable it due to stability issues? Who knows.

I feel more hopeful than with other devices though.

So I was going to buy a mhl adapter but I was reading the package and luckily it stated "Scan this bar code to see if your phone is mhl capable. So I did, and LG Stylo, model LGMS631 G Stylo to be exact, DOES NOT SUPPORT MHL...I just ordered a slimport MyDp adapter to HDMI 1.4 HDTV and when I say I HAVE IT PLUGGED IN MY PHONE RIGHT NOW, that stuff does not work. The eBay ad SAID it was compatible...IT'S NOT...And I have a brand new HDMI cord and a LG ultra4k TV...it seems like everything is made for Samsung these days so I'm switching..Selling this LG Stylo MIGHT cover the cost of these two adapters I bought that don't work lol...

I think metropcs does too...S.O.B.S

Try getting an ifo. App and check if you guys have the driver installed; framework u guys can download a compatible hml, hdmi framework.apk n push iy plus you guys need to tweak your persist.sys.(properties) so it can function. Now know you I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SH'€π. YOU CAN DAMAGE YOU DEVICES IF DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

PLEASE HELP
Hey guys. I'm kind of late to this whole discussion, but I really need some help. Single mom/divorcee here, and looking to cut the cable and internet bill b/c I have to.
I have unlimited data on my phone with an 8 gig hot spot and subscriptions to hulu, sling, etc. The phone is a LG G Stylo 2 and I am purchasing the TV to suit my needs.
So... What kind of tv do I need? And with what device or by what means do I stream the data from my phone to the tv? I do not see a screen mirroring option in the settings. It does say (on phone under settings) to share content with a computer to download LG AirDrive.
This is all I know. But I'm thinking there has to be way to monopolize on the unlimited data on my phone and watch on tv. Need your guys' help.
Thank you! Btw I'm moderately tech savvy, but I do not know tech acronyms.
