Does the Moto G 2014 dual SIM have the USB MHL output for watching things off the phone via MHL to HDMI to a TV?

Can't seem to find it in the specs if it has. This will be a UK model XT1068 think it's called.

Thanks

?

All I was wondering was to see if I could get this lead for when in a hotel etc to pay a movie from my phone to TV'S the cable I believe is cheap, don't want to have to buy a Google cast or whatever for limited use.

Thanks

Bought allcast premium and so far working on for some stuff. Great that it's found my smart TV for displaying to
 
Allcast is working great.... but....

I now want a solution for when I'm in a hotel room, on holiday etc.

Add I don't think the Moto G 2G supports HDMI out what can I do? Can I buy an Amazon fire stick, or chromecast? Do these allow video out from the phone streamed to the TV?

Chromecast will do screen casting away from home but you'll to also carry a travel router for that.

Fire TV Stick also supports screen casting using the Miracast protocol (not Google Cast) - not sure if you need a separate router, and sorry, don't know what app you'll need to add. (I knew, I forgot.)
 
Ah ok, I want direct from my phone to the dongle, not using a WiFi, just direct, is this not possible?

It might be possible with a Fire TV Stick. Not possible with Chromecast.

Fire TV Stick uses the Miracast protocol for screen casting - and that's wifi direct.

However, Miracast is kind of a loose specification - so some users report perfection when screen casting, others report that it doesn't work and is garbage.

If anything is going to work wifi direct for you, it'll be the Fire TV Stick.

I've got both a Chromecast and a Fire TV Stick.

The message I tried to give is that it may or may not work with your phone.

You either want to talk to someone with a Fire TV Stick *AND* your phone (and you're in the forum for that, but please be sure before believing anyone ok), or you're going to need to consider getting the Fire TV Stick, trying it, and returning for a refund if it won't work out.

To test - get your phone and Fire TV Stick setup, see if screen casting works - you will probably have to add a Miracast app to your phone.

If it works, verify wifi direct - turn off wifi router, reboot phone and Fire TV Stick, see if it still screen casts.
 
Could you test please, with you already having a fire stick please?

I know you may not have the same phone, but I'm sure if one works with an app another may?

What I hope is no router for WiFi, start video on an app, play using Allcast, and it "sees" the fire stick to play via that.

Would appreciate your help if can.

If I can't, what option do I have for video out to a TV on my moto g 2G.

Thanks
