There is a micro HDMI port for micro HDMI to HDMI cable for outputting to the TV.
There is also a micro USB port for micro USB to USB for charging and data transfer to computer.
Two different ports for two different purposes.

I know about the ports.. But which cable do i need to buy really. I want to buy the rite cable.

OKay, all I want to do is connect my phone to tv. Now to do that, my phone needs to be connected to HDMI on tv. Now after knowning all that, I am just simply asking which cable do i need to buy.

Because when i checked, some places they are selling - Micro usb to hdmi for g2x. so i got confused. Why is it being called Micro USB when it's supposed to have be micro hdmi

Look at this following link

I get what you are saying cricketics. I was wondering same thing. I have seen that to see a cellphone screen on a tv I need a micro usb to female hdmi adapter and then a male hdmi to male hdmi lead. However if I can fit a micro hdmi directly into the phone's micro usb port then all I would need is a micro hdmi male to standard hdmi cable (and no need for an adapter). In other words the micro hdmi would have to be same shape and do same job as a micro usb. Which of the 2 options is correct?...1..use a micro usb to standard hdmi female adapter plus normal hdmi male to male high speed extension lead or 2.. just use a micro hdmi to normal hdmi high speed lead.

I've got a LG Optimus dynamic 2 (l39) I bought a micro usb-hdmi cable, and it doesn't work, it's a 5 pin which I was told was correct, but nothing. is this locked on the phone? is their an app I can download to get around this?

Stop now.

Micro HDMI is a separate kind of port, popular back in 2010.

If your phone has an MHL port (looks like a microUSB port, is called a microUSB port by most, but isn't, it's an MHL port) - then you use a standard MHL adapter and you're done.

If you don't have an MHL port, you're done.

I've got a LG Optimus dynamic 2 (l39) I bought a micro usb-hdmi cable, and it doesn't work, it's a 5 pin which I was told was correct, but nothing. is this locked on the phone? is their an app I can download to get around this?

You're cross-posting - don't do that.

I'll answer a second time and that's it - your phone does not have an MHL port, return the cable for a refund, it's never going to work.
