Question 1

is this fully compatible for android phones & tablets. What MHL standard does it support (MHL 1 & 2) for 5 pins? Can it also support MHL3 standard for Samsung phones?

Accepted Answer

I bought this for use with my Samsung Galaxy S3 but the micro usb was not compatible (the pin's were mot matching up, preventing a proper connection of the usb cable). S3's use 11-pin which leads me to conclude this is the 5-pin. Apparently most Samsung MHL capable devices after Galaxy2 use this 11-pin standard.

How and if this cable supports android phones & tablets really depends on the manufacturer.  Look into spec data of the device you have before you buy, or you will be making my mistake.

Question 2

I need a i.LINK cable from the mini dv deck to HDMI. Is this cable the same as an i.LINK as it just states micro?

Accepted Answer

No, this is not an i.LINK connector.  A quick search found that i.LINK is (was) a Sony name for the IEEE 1394 Firewire connector.  This is an HDMI cable, not a Firewire cable.
