Still learning about this myself but from what I've read with mhl v.1.0 you can't, it doesn't support it. I don't know if the port will eventually be able to support it with later versions of the standard. Also, if you buy a cable when they're first available it's possible they'll only support 1.0 and you might need a new cable when later revisions of the standard are finalized to support the new features (similar to HDMI).

Kind of disappointed that I'll have to buy an adapter for my phone to charge while using HDMI out, this technology is cool, but the downside is that no TVs support it (yet). And I just bought a 42" like two weeks ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
Am I mistaken or will all the 3D pics/vids essentially will only be viewable on EVO 3Ds? Like you'll see them but they won't be in 3D, regardless of TV or monitor claiming 3D functionality.
[HTC EVO 3D] unkellsam:
So now that the phone is out, has anyone tried out a generic micro usb to HDMI on the EVO 3D?

I can't seem to find any tv-out cables specific to the EVO 3D, so I want to be sure any micro usb to HDMI cable will work.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Micro usb won't work. You need.an MHL adapter. Then a regular hdmi cable plugs into the MHL adapter, and you plug your charging cable into the MHL adapter so it charges while its mirroring hdmi.

Does anyone even make a micro USB to HDMI cable? I have the adapter dongle thingy, but I'm curious what would happen if it was just a cable instead of a dongle.
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
lol.....dongle
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
This is a real disapointment. I bought a micro Genie cable for my EVO 4G. Now it sits there wasting away. I can't understand why they couldn't keep the mini Genie port on the 3D. Now I got to spend another 40-50$ if i want to hook my 3D up to hdmi.

I grabbed an MHL adapter over at T-Mobile for $20. Works like a charm. Search their site for the Sensation data accessories.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Interesting - does that adapter also give you a port to charge while you do TV Out? It's impossible to tell from the small picture on t-mobile site and for some reason the "details" link doesn't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] todah09:
Yes it has a charging port on the side of the adapter.....like someone else said, the tmobile one only cost $20.you can find a 50% of coupon on there Facebook page. I paid like $11.00....
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
Has anybody tried mirroring netflix with the cable? Is it even possible??

I'm really curious...

Thanks..
[HTC EVO 3D] Dees_Troy:
I used the 50% off coupon at a T-Mobile store. The coupon doesn't specify that you have to be a T-Mobile customer to use it, but they will ask you for a phone number when you go to pay. You'll have to tell them that you don't have T-Mo service. The guy in my store seemed a bit upset that I was using the 50% off coupon and didn't have their service, but whatever.

Call the store before you go up there. A lot of stores don't carry the MHL adapter. Call and ask for the HDMI adapter for the Sensation. The adapter has a regular HDMI port on it and a port for you to plug in your charger. It works great with the EVO 3D and should work with future MHL devices. It also works with a case on the phone unlike the dock and it costs less too. It's a much better investment IMHO.
[HTC EVO 3D] fearbasel04:
The best is the mhl from tmobile just 20 bucks only down side u need the adapter to also be pluged into a outlet but heck it chargers the phone too
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Now will this work on Non MHL hdmi ports as far as mirroring goes? I am not concerned with the charging while mirroring. I just don't want to buy a new hdmi accesory only to find out that I cannot mirror because my tv is not MHL.

Haven't tried Netflix yet, but I used HBO Go and it worked. It looked like crap though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Was your signal strong? I think quality relies on bandwidth. If you're in a weak signal area, you may be streaming 240p and it'll look horrible on a huge TV screen, because everything stretched. If you've got great bandwidth (such as wifi or 4G, even full signal on 3G) you can stream up to 1080p and it'll look beautiful. There's a chance it's the HDMI cable, but it's unlikely.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
I was on WiFi using my home 12 meg connection.

It worked, it just looked like crap. I watched about 10 minutes of The Transporter just to test it out. After that 10 minutes, I used Directv On Demand using my Directv receiver and watched the rest. It looked much better.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
I've had a heck of a time trying to find one locally. I've called two stores, and showed up at a third - coming up empty. If I don't find the adapter at another store near home, I'm going to give up.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Got mine today with the coupon. Just under $11.00

The guy acted like he wasn't going to sell it to me unless I gave him a tmobile number. I told him I had sprint and he just stood there like he couldn't believe I was trying to buy something from him. I just gave him my buddy at work tmobile phone number. I would have argued with him over it if I wasn't in my work uniform. It doesn't say anywhere on it that u have to be a current tmobile customer in order to receive the discount.

Haven't had the chance to get to radio shack. I did call them up and asked them to hold one for me. Even though my new Aria is on 2.2.2 and I am stuck with an un-rooted sense, it's less painful being able to use the trick to allow installing apps from unknown sources, so I still have some decisions to make---be cheap and go for the amazing deal of the $29 Inspire--or future-proof myself and wait for the SGS II.

That thing blows the iphone 4 away as far as specs go. Its screen is an inch bigger than the ip4, twice as much ram, and a dual core faster processor. And a much better camera. Sounds more like this phone is going to be direct competition to the sgs2 and iphone5.

This happened to me too I'm so sad. The microphone on my old aria decided to crap out and now I'm stuck with a refurb 2.2.2 aria. I hope someone can figure this out soon...
[HTC Aria General] wantabe:
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones as far as warranty goes. After having WM phones for a few years I got my Aria in Feb. Actually wanted a 4" phone but decided to get this (happy now that I did) and wait to see what comes out. Almost 30 days to the day I noticed that the antenna on the back cover was coming loose on one of the corners. This is after I was already rooted and flashed a couple different roms! So, I'm thinking the chances of getting a replacement back cover are slim to none and I'm going to end up with a phone that can't be rooted or have to live with possible antenna issues. I call AT&T, they have someone call me. After a couple phone conversations and an email update I get a new back cover in the mail a week later. Amazing!!! Maybe the fact that I've been with AT&T about 12 years helped!;)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Hi all, it's been a long time since I've been around here! As the title says, I'm attempting to move from the iPad 2 to the transformer. I'll miss the thinness and the weight, but there are several reasons why.

I've been thinking of a switch to android for a while, and I think it may be mature enough now. Of course we will see what apple has going tomorrow. Maybe a wow, maybe not. If this move goes well, I'll be passing my iPhone 4 down to my gf and getting a sgs2

This was getting too long so let me cut to the chase:

Which browser? I use atomic and icab now, the former is faster the latter is more full featured. I need web form upload.

Does the android marketplace designate which apps are made for honeycomb? I looked but didn't see anything that stuck out.

What about photo management and development. I'm using filterstorm pro on iPad 2 but I'm guessing there's nothing like that for android?

Any good video editing, simple like iMovie but preferably support avhcd lite?

How's the native rss reader? I use reeder at present and I love it. I don't care for pulse and flipboard newspaper readers.

Native rdp any good? Better solutions?

I use mynzb (I can still use on iPhone but I prefer not just hitting web interface if possible for sabnzbd)

At the end of this I'm really wanting to give it a solid go, but have limited time to see if it works out (and ensure I don't have any potential build issues) so I appreciate your bearing with me and the help!

Anyone else switch from iPad to transformer? Tips?

Thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xun3:
Hello, hope this helps:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
I'll have to look up side loading! Thanks for the advice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unquick:
I also just moved from an Ipad 2 to transformer.

Right away, I noticed a few things:

1. There is no native honeycomb ebook reader.

2. You cannot play video in full screen because the status bar is always sticking out there. Seriously????

3. 16:10 is terrible for read books. however, I admit that it has some advantages for viewing wider webpages.

4. Zinio. I used to have zinio on my ipad 2... man... that thing was smooth...However, it is not the case on the transformer.

5. Newspapers: where is my businessweek on honeycomb? or the daily?

6. No home button. No lock rotation button. Everytime I try to unlock it I have to make sure it's not upside down so I can find the damn power button. Don't tell me that apple has patented the home button and rotation button.

7. Market: I was astonished when I open the market and found out the main page apps are actually not made for tablet.

8. Porn: now works. still not in full screen though (God, I hate that status bar)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
So are you sticking with it?

Seems really odd that status bar won't hide! I thought kindle for android existed?

Porn...well..there was always that one or three sites that worked with iPad :) - don't know the site policy so I'll refrain from specifying Heh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
If you are used to some apps in iOS, you'll find that a lot of those unfortunately have no Android counterpart. However, given you have decided to try Honeycomb for a drive, I'd recommend you to have a look at the nearest alternatives.

For an E-reader, try Google Books, Amazon Kindle or Zinio for it. Zinio is still new to Android so definitely expect lag and bugs. There's no capable video editor sadly, but RSS readers are aplenty; there's Minimal Reader widget right here at XDA, and there's also Feedly as someone already said. Best browsers to go for that combine speed and features are Skyfire, Dolphin HD and Opera, though Opera has no Flash yet due to lack of source code.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unquick:
I wanna add that is there a way to skip the lock screen at all? seems quite odd to me that you have to go for an extra step because the power button is already really really..really...really hard to press. There is no way I am pressing it on accident!!

Btw, thanks for the all the app suggestions. I am trying them out as right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
As far as I can tell, the default lockscreen cannot be disabled, sorry. If you have any more questions regarding Honeycomb or the Transformer, just ask us.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
OP, here's the thread with all the compatible apps so far for our tablet:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032381
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Itaintrite:
1. What do you mean by Native? Aldiko works perfectly in high resolution. Asus even included their own book reader.

2. I'll give you this. But only because I haven't tried all the video players on the market.

3. I think its fine. And its actually perfect for comic and magazine reading unlike the ipad.

4. Zinio works well enough for me.

6. Eh, there's a soft home button obviously. No hard button because... this is honeycomb and not gingerbread or any older flavor. And you can lock orientation. Click on the clock then again. I've always found the ipad's hardware lock switch redundant and dumb.

7. The top section of the market's main page clearly says featured tablet apps... thats right. It's there. Click on it and you'll see more. The ipad had quite a head start so obviously you can't compare the number of apps just yet.

8. Yes! Adobe Flesh!

So yeah, the ios is smoother because if obvious reasons. But HC is already very good and useable. I have both and I find myself using the TF a whole kit more often.

PS: the most reeder-ish reader is Newer. And its free!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
2) the ipad has the home button. the status bar in honeycomb is the equivalent of that to the ipad. without it, you can't go home. honeycomb doesn't have a hardware home button. it's not technically part the screen.

I don't need a signature.

Any additions welcome. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knx2:
Yes you can. Look under security. I disabled mine the first day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Zinio in market is great.

Kindle honeycomb version hides status bar buttons as dies the native YouTube and video buttons.

Other book readers work fine but status bar information shows.

As more apps get updated to work with 3.1 honeycomb which was just released more will use the lights out feature and dim out the status bar.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
I'm very disappointed with what the 3.1 updated did to the browser. It's basically unusable for me now because the keyboard lag is so bad. I'm using Opera Mini, I think it's a great browser, it's so fast. The only complaint is it doesn't let you change the user agent string, so you always get mobile versions of websites. Grrr. Hope Opera fixes this. Dolphin HD is pretty awesome too. Firefox should be beaten with a rubber hoses for what they released.

Android Market does a piss poor job identifying Tablet optimized applications. They have a "Featured Tablet Apps" section, however there are other apps that are tablet optimized that aren't include. And after seeing how crappy Zombies vs Plants looks on a tablet, I definitely want to know before hand which games are optimized for tablet screens. Android needs to fix this.

One other small complaint about the Market. Why does it only work in landscape mode? I do like holding my tablet in portrait mode a lot, and it sucks this Market doesn't work that way.

The status bar always showing up during most video play back doesn't bother me. The screen is 16:10 and the videos are usually 16:9, so there is still a little unused space at the top and bottom anyway. And the native Google video player does dim the status bar so you barely notice it. I'm fine with this, though would like to see other video players be able to dim the status bar like the native one does.

No home button doesn't bother me. Sure there are times I grab the tablet upside down and can't find the power button immediately. And as someone that has used an iPad for a year I sometimes even instinctively move my thumb towards where I think it should be. But overall I think I like the clean front glass with no buttons. Kinda wish it has no logo either, but oh well.

My main complaint about the Transformer vs iPad is the comfort. Holding my iPad just feels so much more comfortable and I imagine the iPad 2 is even more so with it being lighter and thinner. The Transformer has lots of edges, especially when held in portrait. While this makes it looks better aesthetically when docked with it's keyboard, it is a sacrifice to it's comfort as a tablet in hand.

But it's $100 cheaper, lighter than most other Android tablets, and I like Android more than iOS. So I think I'm happy. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Well it arrived today, here are a couple of tidbits and quick first impressions

Pros:

Not as heavy as I thought it would be

Screen is very nice. Comparing to iOS devices, it's more iPhone than iPad.

Battery seems to charge pretty quickly

I like some of the customization choices

It plays flash but (see below)

Love the gmail client

The font, once getting used to it, is more crisp than apple's offering on the iPad.

Cons:

wifi is a disaster, the radio power must be soooo low or drivers not optimized.. anything to do to boost it? Given I have numerous other devices connecting way better, I'm not tearing part my network because one can't power a radio or optimize drivers. I get virtually no connection in a room where my iPad connects at 100-130.

Opera, dolphin, stock browsers all feel incomplete and slow to do anything (maybe wifi related)

Steep learning curve for privacy options with the google auto sign in stuff, this is down to me.

Android marketplace is kind of a mess.

Fwiw, mine came shipped With 3.0.1. I don't notice any glaring issues in an hour's use..but havent checked for bleed, balance, etc. And I may not.

Right now, tbh, things are going to have to get a lot better for me to replace an iPad, or even a netbook with this device, but I just started...so I recognize these thoughts are premature and my have a lot to do with lack of familiarity. The wifi issue would be a huge deal breaker if I can't do anything other than reposition routers..it will go back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
2. Funny how in your 3rd point, you mentioned 16:10, but your 2nd point contradicts it. Since you know the screen is 16:10 (1280x800), you should know most videos are 16:9 or 4:3 right? So if the menu were to disappear and you get to "full screen" your video, it'll only stretch it and make the stuff look long and skinny.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
O, I'm feeling more optimistic. I had forgotten the update is to 3.1 not 3.0.1 and the slowness may have been the update DL in the bg... It's installing now, wish me luck :)

@frosty, I think he just doesn't want the distracting light, not necessarily the aspect.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unquick:
I am OK with 16:9 videos. However, the status bar actually shrinks 4:3 videos.

@ravizzle, where can I find this Nook app?

@knx2, thanks for info. I had it disabled. It made me a lot happier.
