No issue with the cable. Moving my phone around while it playing didn't cause any video or audio issue. Sorry to hear that you have an defective one.
[HTC EVO 3D] popoxe:
Hi, I bought a cable MHL but I think the picture quality on my LCD TV is really not good Philipps.

Are there settings to make the EVO 3D or télévision ? Or is it that comes from the quality of the cable MHL?

Thank you in advance for your response

cordially

Popoxe
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Much of the final quality depends on your source material. Are you playing a HD video file or game from your SD card, streaming video from the internet, or playing a video from a service like Netflix? I get excellent quality when playing HD video's from my SD card and when streaming from Netflix (provided the movie I am watching is HD on Netflix). Some other sources can be pretty bad.

What are you using as a source?
[HTC EVO 3D] MeanEYE:
To contribute to discussion. I bought FOSCON MHL adapter for 15$(ish)... AVOID AT ALL COST. They advertise as "up to 60fps at 1080p". That might be true if I was able to get it work long enough to check. Connection breaks every 10 seconds or so. Terrible device.

Hello guys&gals

I'm late on this but wanted to share this info

I just bought the Accell 6" MHL to HDMI Adapter from Fry's

and they priced matched monoprice!!

out the door after tax $15.25 in hand

It works great! I used the stock wall charger to MHL adp

a cheap 2 dollar hdmi and my Vizo 42" 120hz LCD TV

sent over a 1080 HD video I found from you tube and it looks and sounds great!

my 2 cents on HDMI cables... If you spend over 5 bucks u got robbed.

HDMI is a digital signal you cannot buy a better cable and get better signal

it either works or it doesn't. monster HDMI cable for 26 bucks is a complete rip off!
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Hey guys can anyone else confirm that you need the charger connected to the MHL for it to output correctly? I don't really wanna deal with having to plug in the charger to it. That kinda makes not so portable and playing games that uses gyroscope cumbersome.
[HTC EVO 3D] tsbrewers:
yes you need the power hooked up. You can use a small battery backup device from what I hear though.

Shucks thats what I was afraid off. Thank you.

HTC AC M490 3D/Sensation HDMI Adaptor for Sale

Ordered this adapter hoping it would work on my Flyer - no such love, wrong plug. Brand new/never used, and for sale. $30 shipped in the US. PM me if interested. Paypal preferred. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
How doesnt it fit? I thought all MHL connectors are the same?
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Just bought one of these. One end plugs to tv and charger and the other mhl end just on the phone so it's much easier to handle the phone this way. However it wont be as pocketable. Received it in 3 days. I'm in California.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Micro-U...239?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2569857287

Just as everyone points out the output isnt as great considering its only outputting 960x540 res for the most part. I haven't tried a HD source yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Clever design, let us know how it works out! I might get it if I find it cheaper...
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Its a pretty good idea so far. I just have to worry about 1 wire on the phone side so playing games that require gyroscope works better.

Quality wise I'm not sure if its the cable but output isn't that great. Output is choppy and pixelated. Reminds me of HDMwIn on the evo 4g. It also makes the phone itself choppy. I assumed since I have dualcore that it would be super smooth. But I don't think the phone can handle it well. Even when the phone is over clocked. 1080p images looks decent enough but not enough to write home about. Overall I'm a bit disappointed. Maybe once we get ICS on it or even AOSP with full working mirroring on this phone it will be better. I assume on the SGS2 this isn't an issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] Budge72:
What about MHL to composite adaptors? Anyone find one without needing to convert from hdmi to composite?
[HTC EVO 3D] shanxac:
Guys need help!!! Does MHL adapter work with non-HD TV (HD-ready TV with support upto 1080i)? Mine does not work with Panasonic Plasma 42" with HDMI port, but works with HD-LED projector! Kindly Clarify?!?
[HTC EVO 3D] vari9:

I've read some people having problems outputting some apps through hdmi.

Has anyone had any issue with ESPN?
[HTC EVO 3D] sudhirkhanger:
Can you hook these adapters to a dock?
[HTC EVO 3D] sudhirkhanger:
I didn't know that I would have to keep screen awake to use MHL adapter to play music.

Sound quality is way better when phone is connected to music system directly though MHL adapter and HDMI.

The picture quality on you tube 1080p video is grainy.
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
Yes you can, at least you can with the htc oem dock

Has any one found a MHL adapter that is actually available?

Thanks,
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
I got the one from Monoprice, but now I just have to wait and see if it actually works with the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] sfin54:
what? Monoprice told me they do not have any MHL adapters yet, and are still working on one?

You have a item #?
[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
I ordered

this one

earlier today. It shows as in stock but who knows for sure. I figured for $17 shipped, it wasn't too big of a risk.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
Ordered the same one, their tracking page tells me:

Order Status: We are currently awaiting the stock required to fulfil your order.

Sadface. I'm ordering my phone through Amazon though, so fingers crossed that I'll have the adapter by the 28th

Damn, I never noticed that. Oh well, it will arrive when it arrives.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vertig0:
This is the company http://www.av-cables.net/index.htm I use for all my cable needs. I just called to ask for a microusb to HDMI 3' cable and they have it for $15. Part# 40080, the part# is not on the website yet, but he told me it will be up by this afternoon.
[HTC EVO 3D] sfin54:
Awesome! I will look for it this afternoon.

BTW, I emailed expansis on the availability of the adapter, and this was the response:

These have just been released our next shipment is due in about a week.

[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
I don't believe a micro-usb to HDMI cable is the same as the MHL cable. MHL is a newer specification which allows charging via the TV.

LINK
[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
Agreed. That cable MIGHT work for HDMI-out, but unless you have an MHL-compatible TV, the phone won't charge while it's connected. The adapter has a provision for plugging in your charger to keep the battery topped off.
[HTC EVO 3D] sfin54:
Agreed, but with so few (if any) TVs that are MHL compliant, this may work for the HDMI (video and audio) out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nezzy76:
It might but it definitely won't charge.

I just talked to exspansys and the CS rep said they will be in to their warehouse on Mon or Tues and will ship after that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Curb71:
so will the micro hdmi cable I bought for my EVO still work on this phone? I know my 52" LCD is 2 years old so it probably is not MHL compatible. I don't "need" it to charge, I just need video/audio via hdmi to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] everyday17:
I asked in the Monoprice chat if they have plans on making one available, and they said to use the product suggestion link.

monoprice.com/scripts/opinion.html
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapSilicon:
pretty much that is a negative ..the mhl adapter takes microusb(3vo aka evo3d ) out to regular hdmi (not micro hdmi but regular sized hdmi cables)
[HTC EVO 3D] Curb71:
I see what you mean but thats one end of that MHL adapter. the other end is the small end which looks like it goes into either a micro usb or a micro hdmi port on the phone. did they remove the micro hdmi port on the E3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nezzy76:
My understanding was that a micro hdmi cable will work, it just won't charge.
[HTC EVO 3D] squick:
Yea, they removed the HDMI port. Now it's one micro usb port. You have to have the adapter for it to work. One end plugs into the micro usb and the other out to HDMI.

Sent from my pimped out Evo!
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
Just ordered one from T-Mobile's website (search for Sensation accessories). I paid $6 extra for overnight shipping, so I should have it tomorrow. I'll let you know how it works once I get it.

I think the total, including $11 shipping, $19.99 price, and tax, was about $35.
[HTC EVO 3D] nunyabiziz:
Do you know if this item would be in stock at a local t-mobile?
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
I didn't check to see if it was in stock. Now that you mention it, I probably should have! I think shipping (overnight) waas $11.99, so I could've saved that and had it yesterday!

I'll update this thread tonight or tomorrow to let everyone know how the mirroring works, unless someone else fills us in beforehand.

Thanks!

Rob
[HTC EVO 3D] nunyabiziz:
Just called my local t-mobile and they do have the adapter in stock($19). I'll pick one up at lunch today.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
Has anyone tested this yet? Does the mirroring work? How does it look?
[HTC EVO 3D] JTNiggle:
I'll have one to test when I get home tonight. I also ordered the one from T-Mobile, so I'll be sure to let everybody know hoe it works.

Sent from my 3D rEvolution
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
I ordered mine yesterday from T-Mo, and paid extra for overnight shipping. I just checked the tracking, and it's not due until tomorrow!

I called T-Mo, and they're refunding the shipping. I'm happy with that, but it still sucks that I won't be ablet to test out the mirroring over the weekend.

Let us know how it works!

Thanks!

no 3d

so I heard that the mhl port will not do 3d, so, kinda dumb to put on a 3d phone.

Well it did at CTIA when someone demoed it I believe.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
T-Mobile link in the OP doesn't work

Correct link is:

For some reason the link in the OP actually has the /... part that shortens it on the forum as an actual part of the link, so it leads to nowhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
The expansys one looks exactly the same as the TMobile one.

[HTC EVO 3D] subliminal609:
mhl

according to Expansys link, the MHL to HDMI does simultanious charging along with HDMi output so that makes me glad that the evo 3d doesn't have an hdmi port! who needs 2 ports plugged in simultaniously? then agian, I'm not rushing out to buy one of these adapters, I'm just glad i finally gave up the ns4g and got the evo 3d, out of box linpack scores around 124-245 when the atrix and galaxy s II are hitting like 78 ..... couldn't be happier sprint!!! thank you! oh and quadrant is hitting 1900-2360 out of box! ha!
[HTC EVO 3D] mrazzino:
Just in case anyone is curious, I emailed Monoprice to see if/when they will be getting MHL adapters. Here's the response:

So no definitive answer, but hopefully we'll see something soon. I did say in my email to them that I didn't want to pay $20, so hopefully this response means they won't be that pricey (I am sure they will be cheap... it's monoprice.
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:

Thanks for the updating dude! At the risk of bumping this, I got an email reply from Expansys about their MHL cable:

So, good news for anyone who ordered from Expansys a long time ago.

[HTC EVO 3D] dmireles03:
Screw all those other companys selling the same thing for 2x the price! Just go to Tmobile, $19.95, no waiting or any other BS to deal with. Sorry Sprint, you can't offer me what I want in store, at a amazing price.
[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
I got mine from tmo and nothing happens. Did I just get a bad cable or am I doing something wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
Is your charger plugged into the cable as well?

Tried with n without usb, nothing happens. Guess the adapter is bad. I'll try exchanging it

[HTC EVO 3D] weidnerj:
Hopefully tomorrow I will get my adapter that was ordered from T-Mobile. Think it came to $28.05 with shipping and taxes.

Can't imagine it not working since MHL is a standard, and the Sensation and the EVO 3d are sister phones for the most part. (Note: Unless defective that is)

Only nice thing is that it was $20 less than what Sprint charges.
[HTC EVO 3D] cemzie:
Received mine from T-Mobile yesterday. Works great! I love how I can charge and push video/audio thru one port. 19.99 plus 5 or so for shipping.

[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
I called my local TMo store again tonight and lo and behold they had the cable in stock. I printed off the 50% off coupon that is good thru 7/31 and drove over and picked one up. Why? I don't know. I guess because I got it at such a good price. Now I better try it out to make sure it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] jes24cap:
Got mine from the tmobile store. $20 and I had a 50% off coupon so it was only $10. Works great

[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
For those that ordered from Expansys around the 20th of last month, mine was shipped today (Ordered 6-20). Just letting people know they're finally getting around to their orders.

Took em long enough! Haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] inoskedu8o8:
Help me decide

I ordered an MHL adapter from the Tmobile website on the 16th and I just received the package today. The total cost me about $27. When I opened the package, there wasn't an MHL adaptor. Instead there was a Kingston 16GB Class 4 Micro SD card. According to their website, it costs $49.99.

So I guess my question is should I return it and get the MHL adaptor, or just keep the 16GB micro sd card since it seems I got a good deal on it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
That card isn't worth anywhere near $50, you can easily find it elsewhere for $20-24, you can even step up to a Class 6 for $25, tops... Altho the class rating really isn't worth a whole lot, as they're often underrated, it's more like a minimum performance guarantee.

Anyway, if you can return it at no expense (thru a paid return envelope or whatever) then I'd go for it... No big deal if not, particularly if you actually want the 16GB card, you're paying a reasonable price for it. You could just try and find the MHL cable at a local T-Mobile store, with the 50% coupon linked before (in-store only) the MHL cable would actually be $10+tax, cheapest option by far.
[HTC EVO 3D] inoskedu8o8:
Thanks for the input bro. I think I'll keep the card since I kind of wanted one and they didn't give a return envelope. I'll check out that coupon.

[HTC EVO 3D] hypersonicx:
I got mine from T-mobile store today.

It does work but I had to plug and unplug it a couple times to get it to work. Also had to reset the phone. Not sure if its a software bug or hardware. I know some tv are picky with hdmi signal for security and copyright reasons.
[HTC EVO 3D] jvs60:
Got it working, I had to unroot by rebooting.
[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
A note to anyone having issues with tmo adapter...

I thought mine was defective, but a few things i didnt consider.

I was using my old Evo 4G cable (idk if it matters), and my usb cable was plugged into a usb hub (powered), not AC.

Once i used the Evo 3D cable and plugged it into AC, it worked. Go figure
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Anybody wanna buy me one from the T-Mobile store and I'll pay for it? None around me have this adapter in stock!

Oh man, you mind sharing what store had it in stock? I've been waiting/hoping the Puerto Rico stores would start carrying it before the 30th but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen...
