[HTC EVO 3D] R32_Rocky:
FYI, if in the Irving/Las Colinas Texas area, the T-Mobile store off MacArthur by the 635 has a bunch left.

And also an FYI if you want the 3VO dock, here is what I posted over there that might help save you some time & frustration:

Finally found one yesterday at another local BB than the one I normally go to. If you are in the Irving, Texas area, the South Irving BB, by the 183 (Airport Freeway) has about 3, and Lewisville BB has maybe 1 left, as I bought the other. I also bought that T-Mobile MHL adapter for their HTC Sensation. Using the 50% off coupon, link in the MHL post, I got it for only $10!

As I had a number of spare HDMI cables laying around, but not long enough individually, I also bought 2 Rocketfish HDMI couplers for about $29 each.

Sooooo, put it all together, pressed the button to enable docking mode and,.... and, .... NOTHING! The TV screen was blank! You would think that the HDMI out would work in dock mode, right? WRONG! I then tested the MHL direct into the phone, and I did get picture and sound on the TV. So was the dock defective in some way???!!!

Turned out, after near 30 minutes of futzing around and pulling hairs out, that by accident I found out it only worked in non-dock mode. Duh! How counter intuitive can you be?! So now it works, and fairly decently too.

Now those of you who might think the dock not worth the extra buckaroos, I personally love it! And those worried that the adapter in the dock might screw up your port on the phone? DON'T WORRY. It is an extremely smooth insert. Require zero pressure to put it in. You can darn near just lay the phone on the dock, and if positioned properly, gravity does the rest.

Now of course, my Platinum case won't fit on the dock. But it only takes a few seconds to remove or place it back on. So no biggy for me, unless you are someone THAT anal about things???
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
I got mine today... Went into the biggest T-mobile store in my area and they didn't have it, and once again an employee tried to tell me their micro HDMI cable would work, heh. He even went as far as taking it out to try and plug it into his personal Sensation. So I went to a smaller T-mobile store inside the very SAME mall (it's pretty big), lo and behold, they finally had the MHL adapter. Same one that someone else posted a photo of, T-mobile packaging but generic branding on the adapter itself.

Unfortunately it seems the 50% off coupon isn't valid in Puerto Rico... :( So I had to pay full price ($20), but I figured, what the heck... Expansys is only $3 cheaper and still filling backorders, at this rate it might be another three months before they're commonly available (let alone cheaper). I do think HTC jumped the gun a bit on adopting MHL, but I might feel different in a year when I inspect the lint filled micro-HDMI port on my sister's Atrix.
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
I got my mhl adapter from expansys on Saturday. I had ordered it at the beginning of July. It works great. I was watching Netflix from my phone on my tv. Nothing to it but to plug it into the phone and then plug the phones charger into the adapter.
[HTC EVO 3D] clockstopper123:
T-mobile MHL adapter gives full mirroring..

I was able to pick one up from a tMobile store in my areas using a 50% off coupon. Does anyone know where i can find HDMI settings to change resolution because it doesnt seem 720p.. I attached pictures if you want to see it in action.:)
[HTC EVO 3D] 510jungleboy:
I got the cable. Does it suppose to charge the battery also?

It's plugged in to the wall, it's showing the red charging LED , but the battery indicator that shows the charging status is not moving. The phone prompt me to charge the battery cause it's low, but it's plugged up to the wall already. Is there something wrong with the adaptor? Can you guys test if you have the mhl cable from tmobile.

Thanks

Edited: I found the answer to why it does not charge. The reason why it does not charge the battery at the same time is because the battery is really really low. I think that it gives more power to HDMI portion than to the charging portion of the phone when plugged up. Other than that, it charges the battery fine if it is not too low.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
So you can NOT use the 50% if ordering from TMO's website, correct?

EDIT: Nevermind, just ordered from T-Mo's website for full price. The nearest store to me that had it in stock was 45 minutes away.
[HTC EVO 3D] migarg11:
I have the adapter from Sprint, not knowing that T-mobile had it..anyways..mine works ok, I tried netflix and HBO go, but the image quality is bad. When I get the source on my TV from the cell, it says 1080 but looking at the quality is not even near to 720, do I need to make change on the phone or TV?

Thanks for the help.
[HTC EVO 3D] everyday17:
The streams provided from Netflix and HBO Go probably aren't 1080p to begin with. You can try something like a 1080p video file or an HD Youtube clip and see if the quality is still bad. That may just be a limitation of the Netflix and HBO mobile apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] EvoSideHustlAZ:
I just bought the mhl adapter from tmobile and I hook it up hdmi to tv adapter to 3vo usb to wall,but there no signal..what am i doing wrong? Any help thanks in advance.......Nvm I got it wait to connett usb last
[HTC EVO 3D] clockstopper123:
I agree...quality on my gallery videos is 720p and looks great via DLNA...but using mhl its no where near 720p...and there is no way to access hdmi settings on EVO 3D

Sent from xda app on EVO 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] migarg11:
I tried it with youtube hd also, and the quality is not that great either. It's very disappointing. I bought mainly to watch HBO Go and Netflix when I'm not at home, but with poor quality I prefer to watch on my phone. To me the MHL adapter is a waste of money, unless you are able to apply some kind of setting on the phone. I don't know how some people are saying that the quality is good. Am I missing something?
[HTC EVO 3D] aquakevem:
Watch YouTube videos through the Mobile Browser. You'd be able to watch 1080p videos, just as you would on your PC.
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
What will the difference be with mhl compatibile tv's?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
But if he's saying that the MHL adaptor is killing the quality when the signal passes through it then it doesnt matter what he tries.... Not taking sides with either just according to what he is saying, or how I am taking it, the MHL adaptor is the issue, not a app, browser, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] migarg11:
As soon as I get home I'll try the web browser and keep you guys posted. Im guessing the mhl adapter is not letting the high resolution to pass through. When I connect the phone to the TV, the TV recognize the input of 1080 @ 24hz. Looking at any video (Netflix, HBO Go, Youtube) it looks blurry, low resolution. I haven't tried any videos from the phone's/sd memory (ie: the green hornet). I also tried different hdmi cables (cheap and expensive) it doesn't make a difference whatsoever. It is just disappointing :(
[HTC EVO 3D] navymoss35:
I have the samsung MHL adapter and my videos are all HD high quality, even YouTube and i can do 3D. Awsome!
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Can I borrow it? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] navymoss35:
Sorry. Haha. My supervisor bought the infuse 4G and it comes with the adapter. He gave it to me, awsome. Best feature hands down is when u open the 3D camera while on 3D t.v. makes real life live 3D. Crazy good.
[HTC EVO 3D] adelaney:
Bought mine from tmo, works awesome. I love full mirroring out of the box.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Its too bad HTC/Sprint didnt include the MHL adaptor in the box with the Evo 3D.... Guess they wanted to be able to make more money off of us :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] orlandojumpoff:
i have the HTC MHL adapter... video shows up, but I don't get any sound. Before plugging it in the phone plays sound through its speaker and after plugging it in the sound cuts out like it's going to output through the TV but nothing... Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] FelonyInc:
I have the HTC MHL adapter but the quality is horrible, the sound is great though. It looks like the images and movies have a texture on top of them. Guess ill have to return it and try the samsung MHL adapter mentioned.
[HTC EVO 3D] navymoss35:
The Samsung one is sleek and the quality is great, I love playing my gameloft games on my Tv. If anyone has a 3D tv, the 3D photos look amazing when mirrored on the tv.
[HTC EVO 3D] migarg11:
Have you tried Netflix or HBO Go apps? if you had, does it look 1080?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website on Tuesday and got it in the mail today. I am very very impressed with how crystal clear my movies play and how great the sound is through my surround sound!! The picture and sound quality is much better than it was on my Evo 4G. It looks and sounds exactly like I'm playing a DVD. Well worth the 27 dollars and change I spent on it. I would have payed twice as much for it if that was the price now that I know how well or works!!

For any one having sound or picture issues from the T-MOBILE version, get it replaced because it should work perfect....
[HTC EVO 3D] TheSeanR:
Has anybody seen them in Sprint stores yet? I have a $50 gift card, that I have to use towards accessories... I already have a case, not much else I need for this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] f1nzup:
I was told August 1st in the Sprint stores, but it's hard to trust their sales people. You can order it off the website, IF you can use your gift card there obviously.
[HTC EVO 3D] f1nzup:
How do you order through their website if you don't have an account? Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
No trick or anything special. I Googled T-Mobile, went to accessories, then HTC, then Sensation, then data, then hdmi adaptor, added to cart, then checkout
[HTC EVO 3D] TheSeanR:
It doesn't seem that I can do that unfortunately. I had pre-ordered the Evo3D at the store through that $50 gift card type deal, but then realized I was a premiere customer so i ended up ordering on the site and getting it earlier than usual think i could just use the stupid gift card towards the phone still since I had it billed to the account. They told me I "have" to use it on something in the store :/
[HTC EVO 3D] flipcap22:
Thanks - I was beginning to think that all the T-Mobile MHL connectors were bad. I just tried mine last night and the home screens and icons and general UI look great but then I went to play some home videos, as well as some 1080p YouTube clips and they looked pretty bad. The picture on my 55" LED was definitely not outputting the higher res video. The sound came through just fine. I tried multiple monitors and hdmi cables. I'll go switch it out with another one. Hopefully they have more in stock!
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
I'm guessing our phone is just outputting the resolution of the screen. I'd be surprised if the phone was able to output the native resolution of the original file. Can anyone confirm?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I am also using a 55" LED tv. Mine is a new Sony, 1080P, 120Hz, and has a bunch of apps built in like YouTube, Pandora, Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, etc. Don't remember the model number, and not at home now. Just thought there was a slim chance that we might be using the same tv, or atleast to give everyone an idea of what I had since my mhl adaptor is working flawlessly on it...
[HTC EVO 3D] flipcap22:
Mine is a Vizio XVT553SV. I also tried it on a Sony 32XBR6 with the same results. I plan to go back to T-Mobile this weekend sometime so I'll report back once I switch it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Cool man. Hope you get one that works good for you. My ex came over post night and I was showing her. She was also blown away at how good it looks she sounds. She has a Evo 4G and we were talking about how movies on her and my Evo 4G were sometimes barely watchable, and that it looks/sounds just like a DVD with the 3D. She wants to get a 3D even more now!

Also meant to note, I can play movies in 3D on my phone and they also show crystal clear on the tv. They're not 3D on the tv obviously, but I expected them to look funny since they are playing in 3D on the phone. Another pleasant surprise!
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Does your TV tell you what resolution the input is coming in at when you're playing a 720P video for instance? I suspect that all output, regardless of source is going to be 960x540 (or whatever the resolution of our screen is).

My LG LCD TV would tell me the exact resolution of input - but I don't have an MHL adapter yet. A good test would be to see what the reported output is - when playing a 720P video recorded by the Evo3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] loud3:
Or perhaps it was done like that to keep costs down for consumers...
[HTC EVO 3D] migarg11:
Do you stream videos (Netflix, HBO Go)? or you are just watching videos that are stored on you sd/phone? If you stream, do they look 1080?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I got my HTC MHL adapter in the mail and the videos that I recorded with the phone look pretty good, but Netflix movies are pixelated and the audio is out of sync with the video. Any games i play are laggy. Needles to say, i'm pretty pissed. Is there a software fix for this or did I just waste my money on this piece of junk? My phone is already overclocked to 1.7ghz
[HTC EVO 3D] clockstopper123:
I went to tmobile store and exchange my first MHL adapter with a new one...now media quality looks just fine. I think it was just a bad adapter...

Sent from xda app on EVO 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] Craysh:
Anybody else seem to have a problem with extremely low framerate with the MHL adapter?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Usually just movies I download for my phone. Netflix app is built in to the tv, but I just tried it through the phone to see how it looks for every one asking. Up close I can see some pixelation, but it is not bad at all! About 10-15 feet away, where my bed is, the pixelation is barely even noticeable
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
I'm guessing the samsung is the best? or the tmobile one?
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I too would like to know which one seems to be the best for this phone.

Also, does anyone know where I can get one at a decent price here in Canada (or at least shipped for a modest fee) and actually has stock? Expansys seems to be out of stock until September, and the Rogers Plus store I bought the phone from doesn't know anything about MHL (they think that the connector on the phone is mini-HDMI).
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
So I ended up ordering an HTC adapter off a US vendor on eBay. Should get it in a week or two. Came out to $38 shipped... ugh.
[HTC EVO 3D] Excrucibo:
I stuck with Expansys for a number of weeks, but got tired of their "Oh, sorry, when we said "this week" we meant next week" emails, so I canceled my order, and went with Amazon. Found a Accell brand for $24.99 shipped, and it should be here today.

I will test it and report back.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Hopefully your TV can report back the resolution of the input. Since the Evo3D can record 720P video - it'd be interesting to see if it outputs 720P through the adapter on playback, or just the native resolution of the phone. I'm betting that the output will be 960x540.

My LED TV reports back the actual resolution of the input when you toggle through aspect ratio options. I'd love to test this myself - but I just haven't bought an MHL adapter yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] Pyro1284:
In my case My HTC mhl adapter turned out to be better than T-mobiles adapter. Just better over all picture. Plays my .mkv movie files perfect
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I was going to test this for you, and completely forgot. Sorry about that bro! I am going to set an alarm in my phone after posting this. I will test this and post my findings this evening.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I didn't forget tonight! Well I did, but my alarm reminded me, lol. Anyway, hooted up and it isn't working in Helicopter's rom. I'm gonna Nandroid back to TSMP rom an try again in a few. I WILL have you an answer tonight
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
No worries - take your time. I'm just glad to hear someone will get this answer.

BTW - concerns about losing the unique features of the EVO 3D like this, are a large part of the reason I haven't rooted and flashed yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Interesting - I'm guessing you had both? I wonder if you just had a defective T-mobile adapter, or if the quality is generally better.
[HTC EVO 3D] flipcap22:
Finally got around to exchanging the cable at T-Mobile tonight. Unfortunately I get the same results with the replacement. I guess I'll just return it and get my money back & save some money for another brand.
[HTC EVO 3D] thatlonedude:
Uh am I the only one who's evo doesn't charge while plugged into the adapter from tmobile?

shot from my double barreled shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Well I messed with it the night I posted, but feel asleep before posting results. I didn't see it showing the output resolution. It showed 1080p, but I think it we just showing the standard resolution... I will try and test more tonight
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
This isn't rocket science to test, I can check it out tonight if you want... I'm pretty sure I read on the Anandtech review that it outputs at 720p tho (1336x720). Regardless of whether it outputs at 1080p or 720p, that doesn't mean all or any content will run at that resolution. The OS isn't gonna be drawn at a more demanding resolution just to display it on a TV, in all likelihood it'll just be interpolated or stretched, just like incompatible apps on a Honeycomb tablet. What each individual app does will depend largely on it's own implementation, not the adapter.

My TV does display the resolution it's running at very clearly tho, so I can easily tell you what the base output resolution is... Figuring out what other individual apps are doing is trickier, I dropped Netflix so I can't test that but I'll try to transfer some video rips and/or test Youtube's higher res settings
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
SO the tmobile adapter sucks? Which is the best to get and for how much?
[HTC EVO 3D] migarg11:
I own both, T-mobile and HTC, and both sucks. If you are looking for streaming, like netflix, which is the main reason I bought for, it looks like crap and the sound is delay. If you are just looking to play videos already stored either in ur phone or sd then it would work fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I wouldnt say that at all! I have the T-Mo mhl adaptor. I ordered it from their website for under $30 shipped and it was delivered the same week. I absolutely love it!! The sound and picture quality is soooo much better than my Evo 4G with hdmi cable(had 3 different ones and they all looked/sounded the same). I have a new 55" Sony tv with Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, PAndora, etc. built in to it so I dont use my mhl for that. I download a lot of movies that just came out for rent or some that are still in theatre. That is what I use my mhl for and it works freaking perfect!! I have had multiple people ask me to show them the adaptor and phone because they thought it was a dvd playing and didnt believe me untill they saw it with their own eyes. I also occasionally play videos that I have recorded too. I like being able to go to a friends house and have 5-10 brand new movies on my phone that we can choose one to watch.

Now I know a lot of people are complaining about quality with sound and/or video. I dont know if I just got lucky or what, but my mhl is simply awesome!! I would have payed double the price if need be now that I know how awesome it looks and sounds. It isnt that I just dont recognize bad quality either. I am somewhat of a electronic junkie/nerd and always have to have the best of the best and the latest and greatest (atleast as far as my wallet will allow :D ). Anyone who is 100% satisfied with theirs needs to exchange it for another. Again, I was not just satisfied, but shocked at how good it looks and sounds. My ex who still has the Evo 4G I bought her now wants a 3D and mhl adaptor after she came over to watch a movie with me. She couldnt believe how much better it was than the Evo 4G
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo3D21:
Thanks OP or putting all this information in one place. I was just about to go order HTC's Micro USB to HDMI cable accessory off their website but it looks like they pulled it!

I guess buying an adapter would be my best option!
[HTC EVO 3D] blane73:
I purchased the one from frys and it works perfect. Sound and video come out exactly how it is on the phone. If your Vids or games are pixelated that is how it will show up on the t.v. try to get the HD quality Vid and you will be fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheSeanR:
But the evo 4g can pretty much do the same as far as outputting video...
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Yes, but quality is better. Like comparing a Mercedes an Suzuki. Yes, they both get you to the store, but the Mercedes ha better ride quality
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Do you notice any quality difference between the two adapters?

I'm not expecting to play netflix. I'm just hoping to play 720 movie rips directly on my phone - and playing emulators over the MHL adapter.
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
Monoprice just got a few in for order

Monoprice just got some in.. $16 each.. I ordered two

[HTC EVO 3D] banzaiwolfe:
Just ordered one from monoprice, got an email that said they had 100 of them.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
I finally bit the bullet. I'll post back on my results when I get the monoprice MHL adapter.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScottSNX:
Has anyone gotten the HDMI to work with the Monoprice MHL adapter with a custom ROM? I use ViperRom 1.3. I just got my adapter in the mail yesterday and it won't work. The phone seems to recognize the adapter and the TV seems to think there's something going on because it starts searching for an HDMI signal, but I just get a blank screen.

I'm using the stock HTC charger plugged into a wall outlet, not the USB plug. I looked in the bloatware folder and can't find any app that would control this. I'm only trying to view Gallery images right now, not even trying to watch Youtube or Green Hornet.

Anybody know what files I should have and in what locations? Or do these monoprice cables not work with the Evo 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Thanks for the in depth review Impulses. I guess we now know that the EvO3D reports out 720P to TV's. The only remaining question is if it can output it's own video at 720P - or if it's just upscaling from the screen. They're so close that we may never know.

ScottSNX - I haven't yet received my monoprice adapter but will report back when I do. I'm running stock. I've heard from others that using custom roms - they've been unable to use MHL adapters of other brands. That's part of the reason I haven't rooted and flashed yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Quick pic of the 720p output as reported by an HDTV while watching Green Hornet... There's probably a technical way to verify what resolution the content runs at but nothing comes to mind just now. There's probably a game or benchmark out there that can report what res it's running at.

I did read that the Netflix app for tablets doesn't even do HD tho, its all SD, so the phone app is probably running at even less than that which will obviously look like ass on a large 1080p display... Just like the Youtuebe app.
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
got mine from frys today :) works great

tried a bunch of t-mobile stores, none had it (few even knew what it was)

thanks, i hadn't even thought frys would have it till i saw your post.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Just got my HTC MHL adapter in the mail (bought it on eBay out of the U.S). Seems to work well on my Sharp Aquos 37" LCD TV for the most part, though I'm finding the display on the TV can look very pixellated depending on the video I'm watching (no matter what display mode the TV is set to).

Anyone have any tips for video codec settings (or video players - I've tried both the stock one and MX Video Player) that work well with these MHL adapters?
[Desire Themes and Apps] shanifak:
Hi,

I am new to rooting. I want to root my phone and i found a lot of threads to help me in that.

I wish to reatain some apps on my phone, which I could not find in the market now. For some reason they disppeared from the market. Is there any way to back up this apps?

Thanks
