The adapter itself has a micro usb port too, so you can charge and watch.
[HTC Sensation] ScottC:
Got my dongle today from T-Mobile -- works as it should. Simply plug it in, plug in a power adapter and it works. As said earlier, there are no settings. You get a small HDMI logo in the notification bar.

Netflix works, vplayer crashed, but the built in player worked fine. Just keep in mind that video encoded for the small screen looks like ass on a 55" LCD.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
So is it worth the $20 or should I wait for the ebay version lol

Might as well order it if you want it quickly.

anybody knows if the hdmi for the htc evo 4g will work in our sensation ?
[HTC Sensation] NZtechfreak:
I think the Evo 4G one is mini or micro HDMI, not MHL, so I don't think it will work. The Infuse 4G one will, since thats the official Samsung one that I'm using with my Sensation.

Demo video of MHL going up to Clove Blog soon, lots of stuff in there with emulators and the Phonejoy controller, bluetooth keyboard and browser, HD video playback. will post a link when its available.

MHL demo video is up, working just like it does in the SGSII (with some pros and cons of course).

[HTC Sensation] Sanka31:
For those who want the official one, your can pre-order it on amazon, the seller is HTC (don't know if it's the official seller behind the name), it's the same price on HTC official site, but the shipping is free ;) (at least in France, don't know if it's the same in the rest of the world...)

On HTC official site, it's written that they have an arrival on saturday 30th july.

[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Mine came today. So far I must admit I'm pretty impressed.
[HTC Sensation] unixman2000:
Just a heads up...

The MHL/HDMI cable that was sold on the T-Mobile store for $19 is no longer listed. They only list a standard HDMI cable for $24.

Sprint has a HTC MHL/HDMI cable listed in their store but it costs $39.

So is I guess T-Mo is sold out and will they get more in and at what price? :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
That sucks.
[HTC Sensation] tjdouble07:
It's back for sale on T-Mobiles site as of today...
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I'll wait. I feel some type of way about paying $30 for a adapter. Sorry.
[HTC Sensation] Nickedynick:
Got the Expansys MHL through the post the other day, it works really well. Seems to slow down some 3D games slightly, but that's to be expected I guess. Having said that, Cordy doesn't slow down at all so hopefully it's just an optimisation thing.

Flash could work better too, hoping there'll be an update from Adobe on that one though.

My MHL adaptor

Hi Guys. I bought this adaptor from ebay and also a 3M HDMI cable. It works a treat but you do have to have a power adaptor plugged into the dongle to make it work. Its really handy for watching films in bed. Copy to SD, plug and play.

[HTC Sensation] ginosergio:
Hi !

I hope this thread is still alive and old posters subscribed it....

I also bought an Ebay-no-brand MHL adapter for my Sensation. It works like other owners say. I have to keep a microUSB plugged into it to provide power.

Audio works and I hear it from the TV.

I write here to share my problems, and hope to understand if they come from my specific adapter, or they are common to others.

1) Sometime I lose the image. It seems that the microUSB/MHL plug of my cable moves a little, into the socket, and maybe some contact do not touch perfectly when it moves. In this case ,moving the cable, I get my TV image again.

2) Sometime I lose the audio. Same as above, sometime moving the cable does the trick, sometime I have to exit the game / sofware I'm using and relaunch.

3) The worst: using MHL cable the phone become really really really hot, in 15-20 minutes, and after this time it often hangs and I have to remove the battery. I also use my Sensation to watch TV-series in the bed, reading from a NAS via Wifi, and it never reach this temperature, even after 2 hours.

Other things to share:

My TV is a Philips 37PFL7603, and I do not had to set anything on it, just choose the right HDMI input.

Someone was asking for this: my TV has an info page where it tells the type of incoming signal. This is always 1080p.

Quality: I should still try some Full-HD-High-Bitrate MKV video to tell the truth. TV image has a little lag and it seem less smooth compared to the Sensation screen, but you know, the area and the resolution

of the 2 display have huge differences, so (just an example) if I have a "jump" in a moving thing in the video, of 0.5 mm on the Sensation, I can miss it, but the jump become 1 cm on the TV, and I see it. Again, I

was using middle-low quality 1280x720 trailers, I want to try with a huge-bitrate-high-quality 1920x1080 video.

Image format: the output on the TV is "fixed", and pixel are mapped 1:1. If your TV is 1920x1080 and your video is 1920x1080 you will have full coverage. If video has lower resolution in horizontal or vertical you will have black bands. If using your player (I use MOBO and and MX Video) you change the aspect (4:3, 16:9, fit, full, etc) the image change on the Sensation, but NOT on the TV.

Cheers

Has anyone had issues with the cable frying the phone? Only reason I ask is because I had a g2x and some people had problems with the hdmi cable killing the phone.

I have a UE46C6500 Samsung tv, either I plug it in via the usb cable (from charger) or I just stream it through DLNA. Works superb for me. The DLNA is fuqin amazing, full HD on both without any remarks
[HTC Sensation] delboy98:
Does anyone know if I can use an ordinary micro HDMI extension cable between the phone and the adapter? Just so that the adapter isn't flapping around when I'm playing games.

Having said that, I'm struggling to find a male micro HDMI - female micro HDMI extension cable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to posting, had a G2 before but mostly read the forums.

So I've got a G2x that works pretty well so far, no major issues, just some screen bleed in one corner. The only complaint I have is the reception on the phone. It seems that it drops several bars whenever I hold my phone, and in my house, it drops to zero bars where my G2 would hold 1-2 bars.

So I'm starting to use wifi calling so that I can disable the radio through the hidden menu to save some battery power when I'm at home. The problem is, wifi calling only works for a few minutes before it realizes that I'm not on the T-mo network. Basically, I think it needs the cell radio to remain on for wifi calling to work.

I went on T-mo's chat support to enable the free unlimited wifi calling feature on my phone, which, according to the support, will enable me to keep the cell radio off and make calls with the app, just like the UMA wifi calling feature that blackberry phones have. The rep told me to wait a few hours before trying the free wifi calling, which I did, but it still works the same as it did before I got free wifi calling added.

Has anyone else activated the free wifi calling feature? Does it work like the UMA wifi calling feature that blackberry phones have? It's possible it will take longer for the feature to kick in, so I'll keep checking.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
It is not UMA. If you are in the middle of a wifi call and you move out of wifi range, the call will drop. That said, you do not need cell tower access, that beats the entire purpose of wifi calling. I use it when I work in the server room at my office. The room is in the center of the building surrounded by concrete so nobody gets any signal in there and I turn wifi calling on all the time.

You'll need a certain amount of bandwidth though. I have at home comcast cable with 22mbps and if I'm streaming Netflix in HD, the wifi calling call quality goes to ****. I haven't captured packets yet but I'm sure it's just that the router can't cope with all those QoS packets. So try not to stream anything while you use wifi calling and you'll be fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
So do you keep your cell radio on in that deadzone? Wouldn't that drain the battery quickly since it is constantly looking for a signal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
When you turn on wifi calling it turns off cell tower polling automatically. You'll see that your cellphone reception goes from whatever many bars you had, to zero bars because it turns off the cell radio automatically. So once you see the wifi calling icon in the notification bar, you're set. You stop polling celltowers and you save battery :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
The wifi calling apps automatically turns the radio off after it connects to the network and switches it to GSM only. You'll notice that the bars will go to none once it is connected. You're actually interferring with thd app by trying to do things yourself.

And yes, I use the app whenever I am at home since I get poor signal. Get great battery life just letting it do what it does.

Edit: above poster basically said everything I said while I was typing lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Camille68:
I use the WIFI calling feature when I'm at work since I don't get a cell signal in the building. I never changed my account to activate the WIFI calling feature because I already have unlimited minutes on my account, so it doesn't make a difference that WIFI calling uses my plan minutes. Plus, when I tried to do it online, the online system wanted to change my account to one of the plans with a 2GB cap (I'm on the original EM+ family plan, with the 5GB cap). Didn't think it was that important.

Once I get to work, I connect to WIFI, then turn on WIFI calling. I never disable my cell radio. I also set my WIFI calling to connect through WIFI only, not WIFI preferred. At times, my calls are pretty clear. But, there are times when my calls are so choppy that I have to have the person hang up, so that I can call them back from an office line (or go outside and use the T-Mobile tower on my cell).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
Oh wow that makes sense, thanks for the responses, I didn't think that it would stop searching for a signal when wifi calling is enabled. I'm curious though, do you guys put connection preferences to "Wifi only?" Seems that if you do wifi or cell preferred it would need a connection to a cell tower so that it could switch to GSM if it provides better call quality.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
I haven't tested this in a while but I think if you do wifi only, once you move out of wifi range you have to remember to disable wifi calling or you get no calls.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
@Memnoch30 and kangxi

Did you both activate the unlimited free wifi calling feature introduced in May?

Also I just noticed that there is a setting in the app. Under advanced settings, there's an option with the description "UMA network controller address." Perhaps UMA can be enabled somehow?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
No I didn't. I have unlimited minutes so I don't really worry about any of that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
I did activate it since I don't have unlimited minutes. I don't know about enabling UMA though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
See, this is something I don't get. Using a cell phone with spotty reception. That is one issue I can say I've never had before this phone. One that is choronically losng it's cell connection.This is ultimately the ONLY reason I have one. Period. If the phone reception is not rock 100% freaking solid, why do I have the damn thing? I do not want a phone that doesn't put my call through every single time. Why should I stand for anything less?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
I agree, I think the android phone market is so packed that manufacturers have to put in a lot of time to bump up tech specs for their phone to stand out. They really should be at least implementing a cell radio and battery good enough for real world use though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Wifi calling is amazing. I use it at work. It also saves huge amounts of battery cause wifi < cellular.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
how do you get it enables unlimited?? i dont see anything on the tmobile site about it being free unlimited wifi calling just that it will use your plan minutes
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
You have to call customer service or do it through their online chat support service to have it enabled. I'm not sure why they make you do this, but you can't enable it yourself through the My T-mobile website.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
have to say anything special? or just tell them to enable unlimited wifi calling? might have to do this later then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
Well, you have to be the primary account holder, but you don't really say anything special, just ask to add "free unlimited wifi calling" to your phone line.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] squish099:
Funny thing happened to me I called tonight and, after doing some other changes, asked about the unlimited wifi calling. The agent said oh I see u have a g2x. I said yea? Then after a hold. He said as long as ur using the wifi calling App it doesn't use plan minute.. I said oh really plz note that on my account so when it uses my minutes I can get credit. He said sure no problem I noted it and tagged the support document I read it from on your account. This was the third time I tried adding it. So I have no idea what is going on..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
That's strange... maybe try adding it through the online chat support, that's how I got it added. They take a while to respond but they seemed to have added it to my account, can't say for sure though.

I tried it a couple of times. Lets put it this way it sounds so bad I consider it bloatware

G2x with faux AOSP and faux orange kernel. oc@1500 5107 quadrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
If it sounds bad, it's because there's a problem. Mine sounds just as clear except when I'm streaming Netflix HD at the same time. In my case, it could be bandwidth problems but I suspect the wifi router I have can't handle that many QoS packets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
Return your phone. If you got the phone for something that it doesn't do well enough to your standards, then like you said, why should you stand for anything less? Return it.

In my case I use wifi calling to save my minutes (it's free) and in places where there is no way I can get reception regardless of carrier. Like in a server room located in the center of building, surrounded by concrete and no windows.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
Ah so when I go to Canada, all I need to do is set it to WIFI only and I don't need to worry about international roaming?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Not sure but with 10 down and 6 up it shoulsnt be too bad.

G2x with faux AOSP and faux orange kernel. oc@1500 5107 quadrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Actually, I am.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
That's what it would seem like. Unfortunately, that's not all there is in networking. While your connection might be able to get those speeds, packets are not all the same. http packets are simple to process, ESP packets (encrypted packets, like the ones wifi calling uses so that your call can't be eavesdropped on) take a lot of processor cycles. So while your router might do 10mbps down in http, it will not do that using ESP.

In business firewalls for example, throughput is rated in two categories, firewall throughput and vpn throughput. A device that can do 100mbps in firewall throughput, can typically do about 1/4 of that (25mbps) in vpn throughput because it's so much more processor intensive. Once you hit peak vpn/esp throughput, your router can't do a single thing more. So throughput entirely depends on the type of packets being passed through it.

Hope that explains a bit. It sucks that there are so many variables to making things work, but such is technology for now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
Awesome. A lot more people should make sure they get what they want/expect.

I was having some signal issues and just replaced my sim card about 20 mins ago and so far 100% better and no data dropping!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tommiwan:
I've tried wifi calling on my G2X and MT4G. In both cases the call quality was so bad I had to turn it off. I tried it on two different wifi networks. Also, I had reports on my MT4G that people were calling me and I wasn't getting the call.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
Oh yeah I forgot to ask, does your wifi calling app still say that it will use plan minutes even though you have unlimited enabled?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] helixcardinal:
Yes it does, but when you check your account on-line, wifi-calling should fall under hotspot minutes, which do not use plan minutes.
[General Questions and Answers] riemann73:
Hi all,

I tried to both SD load CM7 and root with manual nooter as described in these threads but I cannot get past a black screen on the nook with the SD card in the nook. After I remove the SD card, I have to unplug, plug the nook back into the computer for it to come back to life.

I'm running Win7 Ultimate with a Kingston 8GB Mirco SD. My laptop has an SD reader/writer so I use that to write the image. WinDiskImageWrite32 seems to have trouble with Win7. Even after dl/ing the W7 patches on the Win... site and stripping it down to a command line exe I cant get it to work. I then wen to WinImage write which can write the image to a FAT 32 formatted SD Card. I follow the directions in the MN post and CM7 post and with both methods, the nook doesnt boot and shows a black screen. Upon removing the card, I see that the nook as written a bunch of standard BN stuff to the card... no boot though.

I received the nook w/ 1.0.1 then DL'd the 1.2 upgrade and put it on for email as I was not planning on rooting it. After reading more I decided to give it a try and am left with what seems like an unrootable, unmoddable, device. Not sure what to do next. Buy another SD Card? It works fine for music in my phone and works well in the computer....

None of the linux boxes I have have SD readers only my PC's so I'm stuck with PCs to use. I have access to XP boxes as well if that will do any good. It seems so easy from the posts and videos but I cant get further than the SD card...

Thanks in advance
