I've been using mine for about a week now. Pretty cool bt there's no settings for it tho , it just outputs w/e the video is. Bt rest assured that videos that were meant for a small screen look like ass on a 55" tv, bt a lil better on a 28. Most of the time I just end up watching da movie from tha fone itself.
[HTC Sensation] danwic:
That just sounds like you only have VGA resolution or something, if it was 1080p or 720p it wouldn't matter how big the screen of the phone is.

What cable do you use?
[HTC Sensation] dfwm27:
I need to start posting more and helping the fellow HTC people out...

Here is a link to the adapter I am using that works fine.

amazon .com/gp/product/B005E5MPBS/ref=ox_ya_os_product

(I am not at eight post yet, so I can give you a real link)

Take Care all.
[HTC Sensation] nikatnight:
yes, you're missing something

you have to plug your charger into it. I've confirmed that the adapter from the infuse package works with a sensation and a gs2. just plug it in then plug in a charger that works on your phone and bam. game on.
[HTC Sensation] xwing_5:
When you say "bam game on" does this mean that you see on the big screen exactly everything what you see on the phone?

For example the start screen on the phone is now on the big screen?

Or do you actually have to go to a certain application like YouTube or Video player to see somEthing on the big screen?

I ask because I have tried 2 different tv's and none work with the cable that I bought from the T-Mobil Store.

Part # SUPA37109

[HTC Sensation] gravedohl:
don't know if anyone still reads this thread, but I thought I'd share my (short) experience with it:

got the official HTC MHL adapter w/ HDMI cable yesterday and it works like a charm!

plug in the HDMI, power on with USB cable and plug in your phone et voilá - hello big screen. whatever's on your screen's phone shows up on your HDTV and in HD. put on a game or a flick that's landscape / widescreen - your TV will follow suit and pretty quickly too, though I don't know if that's brand-related. all in all very nice.
[HTC Sensation] asteele3:
Try this method?

You might have to change (if you can) some setting with the screen refresh rate e.g. 50mhz, 60 mhz etc...

If you know the refresh rate of your TV then you can match that to the same as your phone and then they should both play in sync?

I might be wrong but I remember something like this happening before and the method above solved the problem!

Tell me if it works?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] 007xi:
Thank You!!! You helped me resolve my viewing problem. I have a Sony Bravia TV. In the settings on the TV there is an option to turn off HDMI Control. Once I turned this feature off, it worked like a charm.

HDMI Working Great on HTC Sensation with micro USB MHL to HDMI converter

Hi all!

Just want to share my experience concerning HDMI with HTC Sensation. It works great :p

First of all I bought the following generic converter (made in china) :

>>> Micro USB MHL to HDMI Converter <<<

This adapter is not the official one from HTC (half the price but you might probably found less expensive on ebay).

My first tries were unsuccessful and I thought maybe my device (HTC Sensation) was not compatible or the adapter was damaged. So here is what you need to know:

:o The generic converter has a micro usb female connector on which

you absolutely need to plug the adapter shipped with your sensation

(this is also the case for orginal HTC converter). This connector is the supply input for the converter and needs high current supply. It will probably not work if you use your computer (or the USB connector of your TV if you have one). I tried both with my TV and my computer and I have no HDMI signal on my TV so be careful.

:) Sound is working fine through HDMI and volume can be controlled with senstation.

:o Fullscreen on your TV is only available when your sensation is in landscape mode.

:) Whatever you're in landscape or portrait mode, my TV always receive a full HD signal (1920x1080) at 24 Hz.

:( It seems that you always need to have sensation switched on to have HDMI signal (when I standby the sensation, no more signal).

:confused: Sensation luminosity has no effect on TV.

:mad: I tried watching movies (I'm using MX Video Player available on the market) and it's a bit laggy wereas it isn't on sensation screen. This is a bit annoying but acceptable.

:confused: You do not need third application on sensation to make it work, and there is no configuration available. Only HDMI icon is dispayed on the top left corner of the sensation.

:) I'm using a custom rom (Pyramid3D XE) and no problem.

Hope you'll appreciate my experience and advices... If you have any questions, I'm here.

See you!

Tried to Flash a Gingerbread rom, and now when I go into recovery mode, it says Can't open /cache/update.zip and that's all I'm able to do with it. I can't factory reset it or wipe it or use rom manager to flash a different rom. Any ideas of what I can do? Appreciate it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
How did you install CWM recovery? Did you use rom manager or did you do it the proper way with NVFlash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sjared23:
I used Rom Manager. I wasn't sure how to set up the NVFlash.. Or I couldn't understand it properly. Which I knew was my mistake. And a horrible one.

With Duel Core Phones (EVO 3d, Within) will we Epic 4g Owners feel down?

after all we where the top dog

our phones got us all the ladies

and now we are yesterdays news....

will our epics get us the ladies still or just the older ladies in their 80's?
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
I wont, by the time Android gets optimized for dual core phones and release, pretty much anyone left with their Epics or Evos will be eligible for upgrade. :D.
[Epic 4G General] cds0699:
Its not that big of a deal for me, I still love my phone and it does what I want it to do. I'm gonna be getting a tablet next week anyway, so that'll have my dual core if I need it for certain games, etc.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
What are you a shrink or something? LOL
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
No. I seriously cannot put myself in the place of people who become unhappy with advanced technology so fast. If you have the money and motivation to constantly get the newest thing, great, more power to you. But each subsequent phone I get is better than the one before and the Epic is so good it's even made me want a new notebook computer less than I did because it does so many things so well. And its software is still improving.

DUAL CORE
[Epic 4G General] daddy_droid:
well what i am getting at is that its like being top dog... then you are knocked down a peg or two....

will the newer duel core phones like the evo 3d and within makes us feel like an old geezer who need viagra?
[Epic 4G General] josh33_unc:
bump :D good post
[Epic 4G General] Ron_91:
Not really. The only thing that betters the epic are DUAL core phones (not duel). Android is not yet optimized for DUAL core phones and there are not a lot of apps optimized for DUAL cores yet so the only advantage of saying you have a DUAL core phone is having the newest thing. You're forgetting the other hundred or so phones under the epic that carriers offer for free to $50.

The epic is no where near being an "old geezer".

...... DUAL.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Wow....We need a BASIC ENGLISH GRAMMAR class that should include the handful of basic words that this country can't seem to grasp. :mad:

As stated, IT'S DUAL, as in two. They're not fighting cores, has nothing to do with a duel!!! WTF people........Seriously. I could understand if you haven't been through the 6th grade, but I HIGHLY doubt that's the problem....

I could also understand one mess up, but repeating it? Maybe some leeway could be given.....you know...... if one hand't been reading about the DUAL core phones on sites.....BUT YOU HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT DUAL COREs ON SITES.....IT'S LITERALLY SPELLED OUT FOR YOU :eek:
[Epic 4G General] cds0699:

[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
No....your an A$$|-|@t...

The SPHD700 was rumored two have come with dueling cores (as in too), but fortunately the 1.0GHz core rained supreme in a rather Epic battle over the 800MHz core leaving our phone the fastest of the sprint lineup.

I hope my EVO 3D has DUAL cores instead of DUELING cores.....I'd hate to only be stuck with one in operation. Besides, how could you explain that to people??

...."I had dual cores initially, but they started to duel it out, and now I only have one. I wish they would get on the ball and make the cores less aggressive. I would like to be able to have both live in harmony! Seriously, what good does it do someone to have duel cores, all they do is fight. At times I have great performance, while at others my phone doesn't respond at all. It's as if the cores are so entwined in their duel that they can't do anything else but duel! If core 1 had not dueled core 2 to death, my phone would be virtually unusable today"...
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
It's all in good fun. It's hard not to fugg w/ the OP when his posting was all but intentional. Besides, I doubt he'll make the same mistake again, and for that I give myself credit.

[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
Reviews of the evo 3d are lackluster at best. Plus, despite the frustration with getting updates on the epic, samsung makes amazing phones. I love this phone more and more every day, and I'll probably stick with it for a while longer. I want to see what happens with sprint adopting LTE. But with the problem lightsquared is having... who knows?

I was still happy with my slow-ass Touch Pro 2 running XDAndroid before it died a few weeks ago, so.....no.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
I had the TP and the TP2, I thought the TP original was the ****. I still have it......a very cool phone. Doesn't really have **** on the newer ones, but it was still ahead of its time, and blew the iphone out of the water.
[Epic 4G General] imakul8:
Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2..two bad-ass phones that I loved, but never had. I think they should go back to the look of the Touch Pro. That look and Android would be great.
[Epic 4G General] bondosho:
where's ice cream sandwich????

:D
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
The TP offers a lot of features in a small package. I don't think there is any substitue for a keyboard, or large screen for that matter, but the TP is still amazing when put against anything of today. It's not the fastest, but was fast enough. The keyboard, though small, was well done and is extremely easy to use. The stylus made up for the smaller screen as it's actually easier to hit tight links on the TP than it is the Epic. Unlike the epic, when you hit a key on the TP, it registers. It was my first phone on Sprint after switching from the i870, and it did everything I needed it to. Having Roam control and tether just by installing apps was awesome. I miss being able to edit the registry at will.........Not sure there will ever be a replacement for such an easy way to do hacks. No root needed......just simple editing, or adding keys.

It would have been nice if Msoft did more with WinMo 6.5....I don't really give a **** about WinMo7. I think it's horrible.....but they're not out of the race and there is still much to come. I'd take the TP original over any iphone, though it'd be a close race between the CURRENT iphone, of which I refer to as the iphone 3.5. NOTHING about the current iphone makes it the iphone 4, except for apples marketing department wanting to mislead all of their sheep into thinking they're getting an actual 4G product (you poor poor suckers).
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
The Epic will still hold its own for a while even against dual cores. Look how long it took the gaming industry to take advantage of multi-cores in Windows software. We got at least another year at the top of the heap. :D

[Epic 4G General] sevenvt:
Nothing the dual cores are doing is really that spectacular that I would feel the urge to pay up. I figure by the time I care to buy a new phone (sometime in 2012 at this rate) it will probably be a quad core phone that catches my eye, or at least a very nice dual core probably in the 2ghz range.

These first gen dual cores are, imho, a waste of upgrades. Most people should realize that its just a gimmick at the moment, as much as 3D is.

I've got 2 Galaxy S phones (epic and captivate), they do everything I want, and do them to sweet satisfaction, and rarely do I even bother with an OC'd rom.
[Epic 4G General] imakul8:
Yeah, I used to edit my registry on my HD2. Before that I was a Nokia man. Iphones are nice..I almost talked myself into buying one before.;)
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Epic still pwns. Running phone comfortably at 600mhz. Can't really tell a difference between 1ghz and 6. Cantankerous wait to get the sgs2 to run those cores at 500mhz and witness epic battery life. :)

[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I am perfectly happy with my Epic..by the time there are apps and optimization for multiple cores we will already have Quad cores...and I don't know about you but Quad cores sounds a lot more awesome then dual cores :/

But most importantly..if sprint wants me to even consider upgrading they need to put out a keyboard phone!

So far the Evo3d is a yawn...3d is a gimmick (Don't get me wrong I like 3D in theaters but even on screens like 55" TVs it look crappy), not ot menton its crappy camera and washed out screen...

Ths SGS2 has me somewhat impressed but to me keyboard is too important...
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
Physical keyboard FTW. I do remote administration of various systems (via ssh and logmein) and virtual keyboards A) take up screen real-estate, B) are a pain to find special characters on compared to the physical, C) swapping to/from symbol screen, or long clicking keys to get numbers is a pain in the ass when dealing with IP's.

Give me QWERTY just like it is on my computer (5 rows with special keys in roughly similar places) and I'm a happy camper. I stuck it out with a sidekick for years before even considering anything else on the market for exactly this reason.

[Epic 4G General] hmiem81:
Well considering...

Hey, I'm not thinking I'm an old geezer! I have had my Epic for almost a month now. Got it the week that Lady Gaga's record company decided to pay the rest of the subsidized price of my phone to make it free. I was shocked that a flagship Sprint phone was actually being listed for free and I had an upgrade. No brainer!

This phone will carry me until the end of my contract, hands down. It is still a fast phone with plenty of storage for apps and 720p video playback look awesome! The fact that the hardware specs are lined up almost exactly with the Nexus S (a phone that will have a upgrade cycle that will far exceed anyone's contract) I believe that this phone will be a great investment for years to come.

BTW, all of the people that have been having spelling errors in there posts, especially if you are posting from a computer and not your phone. Use a spelling aware browser. I am a horrible speller but Chrome helps me where I am weak. It makes your point get across a lot easier and the pages of this forum thread would be easily cut in half.

P.S. Anyone looking to jump ship to the Nexus S should look at Best Buy's latest ad. The Nexus S 4G is $149.99 on contract this week, as is our faithful Epic.

Trying to measure one's maturity level by one's phone (beit old or new) is like trying to measure one's intelligence by the size of their e-peen and vise versa. :p

I'm only 10 months into the epic and will likely ride out the 24 months. I sold my laptop and only use my wife's lappy when I need to edit or print a doc, etc.

Unfortunately I will have to get a decent lappy soon for a new job, so between that and the Epic, I'm good for a long time.

Now, off with his head! Duel....
[Epic 4G General] NEXUS 4G:
Nexus 3? What happened to the nexus 2? As the Nexus s certainly wasn't cutting edge when it was released as the Nexus 1 was... it was my impression that the NS was just Google's way of saying "good job selling 3million plus phones Samsung". Hence the reason it was called the NS and not N2... just my humble opinion.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
note to self: from now on, use Duel for Dual, and Kernal for Kernel

Have to keep the spelling trolls busy after all ;)

IMO, anyone that has time to post up complaining about some one else's spelling, has WAY to much time on their hands.

ROFL!!!

That said, I can already, in some apps, push my epic to the max, even at 1.3 GHz, as such, the idea that there is little need for duel cores at this time, is kinda naive

I might feel differently if I was unable to bring my Epic to a slowdown via apps, but as I have already used apps that have caused the Epic to lag, the extra power would be a great addition

Also, does anyone know if you run ubuntu, if would be able to take advantage of the duel cores?

[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I jumped to the Nexus S and while it's REALLY nice it's missing many of the things that make the Epic....well...Epic. I'm looking to later this year when the Tegra moves to quad core and actually starts to rival many notebook computers.

Aside from that the within is pretty bada$$ and will blow the doors off of the Evo 3D
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Like OTA software updates that break more things than they fix? Or maybe it's samsung being in charge of the update releases? You know, the ones that come out after the next update has released, making the current OS 2 versions behind? Nothing like having one of the most expensive sprint phones on the market come out with an OS that's older than the one the EVO was already updated to.

When ever I search for a new product to buy, most especially a cell phone, the search always includes -samsung.

The only thing that gets me down is the decline of intelligence in society in general... A quick skim through this thread shows more alternate (read: incorrect) spellings of "dual" - "dool," which I had to manually type so I know that wasn't a swypo, and the OP's "duel" which indicates that the single core is designed to fight...
[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
I preordered my fiance an evo 3d. Then played with one at bestbuy. Having my epic side by side with it is still no comparison with the screen. The EPIC whomps all over it, the evo has a higher resolution but the quality still has a ways to go. I had a hero before I got my epic and it was alright but I grew to hate htc sense as well and that feeling came crashing back when I was messing with it. I was glad I checked it out before I bought it, kinda neat I guess and I bet whenever they figure out how to root it it will be sweet, but for now I cancelled the evo 3d order and just got her a nexus s. I'm happy, my phone is still sweet. She's happy, the Nexus S commercial has cats. The end.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Oh come on, you are citing my spelling of "dool" as a decline in intelligence in society? Sensationalist much?
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
At the pace that Android phones are released, each phone is only going to enjoy the top dog position for a few months, if even that. The Epic got its moment. Arguably the best of the Galaxy S phones, which in turn were arguably the best Android phones of 2010. It is remarkable that the Epic held its title for so long.

Come late this late this year, early next year, quad core or even higher clocked dual cores come out and the current batch of flagships becomes second class.
