Help Zte Awe n800 hdmi adapter?

I have started looking into connecting my zte awe n800 to my tv. I did research and figured out I need a micro-USB to micro-hdmi adapter + micro-hdmi to hdmi. Or easier I suppose, just a micro-USB to hdmi. My problem is, I also keep seeing the term "MHL" with these adapters. I don't believe the zte awe n800 is MHL compatible. Can somebody offer me another option to connect my phone to my tv (for things like watching movies from a movie app I have on my phone and projecting it onto the tv screen)? Or will the micro-USB to hdmi work for this phone anyway? Or... is there an adapter that is not MHL? As a side note, I also have a kindle fire (not HD or HDX, just a first gen kindle fire) that I am interested in doing the same thing for. Anybody know a way I can project either one of my tablet or phone's screen onto my tv via an adapter cable type thing? Much thanks!
 
I don't know much about the hdmi but in another thread it said otg isn't supported which meant the awe wont support flash drives, I'm interpreting it as hdmi wont work either but idk for sure.

you can try chromecast but your movie app might not support it. I read you can run android apps on a computer in Chrome browser and you can mirror your browser onto chromecast so you can try that, again, I don't know how though.
 
I'm sure you figured it out but in case someone stumbles upon this and has the same question here's some good information...

MHL supported ZTE hardware:

ZTE
Era
Grand Era LTE
Grand Memo
Grand S
Grand S LTE
Nubia Z5
PF120
PF200
U970

The Kindle isn't supported either but if you Google around the the Amazon forums "supposedly" there is a VGA to MHL converter box but I can't confirm or deny it. Samsung and HTC seem to have most supported devices. Maybe something to keep in mind when you upgrade next time. Sorry I couldn't be more help. [emoji20]

No, it's a wireless option. I gave up on going the cable route. It just connects to my TV via Wi-Fi (both TV and phone need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi router) and the app recognizes my TV (DLNA certified) and will cast videos onto the TV. It's in the play store (:
