I've got a whole bunch of adapters, so it's not a big deal to me... Plenty of micro and mini USB tips for regular USB cables, as well as a couple of mini USB to micro USB adapters/converters (and vice versa).

I'm hoping a retractable micro USB cable I have is strong enough to carge the phone when I travel, probably use the included cable to charge it at home, and I already got other cables to leave at the desk to sync music. I did buy a 3" microUSB cable to charge the phone in my car tho, since hooking up a tip/adapter at the end of one of my other short USB cables would've made it unwieldy and hard to put the phone down with while connected.

Cables are cheap, don't be such a baby, the micro USB connector isn't much smaller than mini USB end to end (H/L), but it's a lot slimmer (W)... And micro HDMI is a lot smaller than mini HDMI, it just seems it has barely been used by any other devices so far so adapters and cheap cables are still scarce. Give it a month or two and they'll be all over the place for under $5.
[EVO 4G Accessories] rockstar1o9:
Micro-usb is HALF the thickness of mini-usb. That makes a significant difference as devices get thinner and smaller. The last 3 phones I've purchased for family (Palm Pre, Nokia flip, LG slider), as well my Motorola bluetooth headset have all been micro usb so at least it seems like it's an industry wide thing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Oh yeah, I think there's even an official alliance or movement behind that to make it the standard, even holdouts like Samsung are on board (w/their feature phones even, which is the last thing they tend to migrate).
[EVO 4G Accessories] widjit:
search Ebay i found one for $12.95 shipped from TX, I will let you know how it is when i get mine...
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
I received mines from Arrow yesterday! Took about a week since I ordered it before Memorial day.
[EVO 4G Accessories] blkswanpres:
I also received mine yesterday, nice cables and unbeatable price.
[EVO 4G Accessories] catpunt:
damn i ordered from dealextreme.com a month ago, when they said it was in stock, and i just checked the order status and it says awaiting more stock. canceled.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Did Arrow sell out of the cable? An earlier poster said it was listed as 300-some available but it's showing no stock for me now... lol Did 300 eager EVO users really order this thing in a couple of days? Edit: Heh, looks like (based on the above post) DealExtreme's cable is also sold out, the Ebay one is still there tho, it's like $12. I'm still holding out for an adapter, I don't wanna have to carry an extra cable just for the EVO, hopefully Monoprice or someone comes thru before July (would like to have the cable when I travel to my sister's place then).
[EVO 4G Accessories] finebrian224:
It appears Arrow has sold out of them. (I am a new user so I had to remove the links)
[EVO 4G Accessories] widjit:
update, ebay seller sent me an e-mail today saying mine shipped hopefully it will get here on monday...
[EVO 4G Accessories] omnay:
arrow is still out and the others are too expensive after shipping. but i think i'll skip the $12 ebay cable for the $22 one since it's molex and a foot and a half longer. never know that might be the extra 18 inches i need when i buy a new plasma :D and it's still better than the $30 sprint wants
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
I only bought one since that's all I'll need. It'll be plugged into my flat screen the whole time. The cable is very good quality and thick and comes very well packaged. If you really want the cable I'll sell mines for $39.99 lol. J/P
[EVO 4G Accessories] catpunt:
did anyone receive their $12 hdmi type-d cable from ebay? did it work?
[EVO 4G Accessories] tricknasty:
i just bought mine off ebay from the guy in texas. looks like a decent deal with free shipping

Update:

This is the cable: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Micro-H..._1_7?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1275765398&sr=8-7

It is a micro HDMI not Mini HDMI.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
I bought mine today from Ebay and within a few hours I received tracking. Will post results and pictures when it gets here.
[EVO 4G Accessories] coursevector:
Got mine from Arrow last week, tested it with the phone today and it works perfect!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] iijyanaika:
anyone else experienceing problems with the micro hdmi from sprint? i bought one, and hooked it up to my flat screen, both hdmi ports, and i still can't see or hear anything, it's saying that it's not supported. i tried every source channel, an both hdmi ports on the tv, no go for me
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
I'm pretty sure its the LCD thats the problem, not the Evo. Btw, can anyone actually see the whole screen of the Evo when plugged to the TV? I'm waiting for my cable to arrive.
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
any impressions? What displays on the screen and what doesnt?

thx
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
The Phandroid EVO review linked a video from another site (I forget which) that stated that the only things they could get to play over the HDMI-out were the Gallery app (so photos, and presumably any video you load in the correct format) and videos recorded on the phone itself. YouTube, SprintTV etc didn't work.

I imagine a lot of that stuff may never work due to DRM/broadcast restrictions, but many of us would use it for pre-recorded side-loaded stuff as much as anything else... Taking movies to a friend's house or playing back short clips & photos in a pinch for instance.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Shidell:
Yes and no. There's an HDMI-out API call in Android, in time I (or other devs) will hack/enable you to output all sorts of different content, including possibly the OS itself, via HDMI.
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
i could of sworn when the phone was being showed off a few months ago.. they specifically showed youtube hd streaming via hdmi
[EVO 4G Accessories] rljetsetradio:
Has anyone been able to find a female type A to malde type d adapter yet?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Not me, I've been looking but I haven't had much luck. It's hard enough trying to find the cables... Altho you'd think the adapter would be cheaper (or as cheap) to produce. I really want an adapter too, for practical reasons, less crap to carry...
[EVO 4G Accessories] th3b055:
For those holding out and waiting for a Type D to Type A HDMI adapter might want to reconsider it's flaw.

Reason being, a Type D to Type A HDMI adapter will be really bulky. People are going to want to hook up their Evo to their TVs to watch a movie right? Well the adapter being bulky may not allow access to the micro usb port for charging purposes.

I really hope developers take that into consideration when making them
[EVO 4G Accessories] wmfg:
I watched a video earlier for the HDMI cable and Youtube did work for streaming out the HDMI.
[EVO 4G Accessories] catpunt:
has anyone received the ebay $12 micro hdmi cable yet and tried it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
whats the difference between Type D and Type C??
[EVO 4G Accessories] 48548:
I ordered one, last week if it is here today (tuesday), I will let you know how it works. Also does someone make a type c to type d adapter?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
This is what i was thinking:

http://www.dcables.net/Premium-Mini-HDMI-Converter-Cable-0_7-Feet.aspx
[EVO 4G Accessories] catpunt:
the type d connector is smaller than the type c connector, it's part of the newer hdmi 1.4 spec

sweet
[EVO 4G Accessories] 48548:
Well the cable just shipped.... So by the end of the week I can test the cable from ebay, I guess that is what free shipping does, makes it get to you slow.....
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Meh, it's a valid concern but I'll use mine for short clips or photos, not to output full length movies (can just use my laptop for that in most cases). I still want an adapter even if it blocks the USB port tho, it's less crap to stuff in my travel bag... One HDMI cable (that I can use w/the digital camera, laptop, and EVO) plus one tiny adapter beats out two cables when it comes to bulk. :p

I already need to carry other tiny adapters for other things so I just put 'em all in the same pouch, not worried about losing it or w/e... In fact I need to carry an adapter to use an HDMI cable at all w/my digital camera, Sony and their proprietary ports, in a way it works out. Otherwise I'd need three different types of HDMI cables! (mini for camera since that's what most use, regular for laptop, micro for EVO)
[EVO 4G Accessories] liquidkernel:
I'm pretty upset at the seller. Bought on the 28th, label created on the 4th, unsure when it was shipped (tracking # does not show any changes).

I sell about 300-400 items a month on eBay and offer free shipping, all my items ship within 24 hours (sometimes same day) and go via USPS Priority which takes 2-3 days.

This seller is just being lazy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ajbrickyard:
I did, the cable worked fine at my house on 2 LCD TVs, both bought this year both same model tried at my mom's house and my sister's house both have the same lcd tv bought last year, both made my EVO reboot EVERYTIME i tried to hook it up on the tv. I guess it just likes new TVs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] donatom3:
USPS is horrible at updating, but it's also possible the seller doesn't have anymore in stock but is taking orders anyway.
[EVO 4G Accessories] liquidkernel:
That's true, they are horrible in some cases. I've had packages arrive and the tracking/confirmation was still not updated.

However, the seller is just plain being lazy.. or ran out of stock.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
My cable just arrived from Ebay. Costed me 17.99 with shipping. And it works just WOW. I downloaded my digital copy of Iron Man and then ran it through DobleTwist and it looks just AMAZING.

Awesome, I'm getting one then. Which one did you get, the Texas one?

Your sprint store will order you a micro hdmi for $29.99 and you can get your 25% premier discount. I think its a better option than that one on eBay
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
No. Its 29.99 with the discount. I already asked.
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
thanks....
[EVO 4G Accessories] coojoe1000:
Not true bro. It's $29.99 normal price, then you take an additional 25% off. I ordered one on Sunday last week and paid $22 something out the door. Free shipping and is supposed to arrive tomorrow. ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] 48548:
I got the one from texas.... I was always told that there wasn't much difference in cables from the digital end, they either work or they don't (digital not analog)... Can't prove this, but I have bought 150$ hdmi cables and I can't say they work any better or the picture looks better. Seeing as the source is the phone and that will be the quality limiter, I am fine with the ~12 cable. If someone can prove the Sprint cable looks better please let me know....
[EVO 4G Accessories] donatom3:
When buying HDMI you are correct as long as it makes the connection you're getting a good signal. Digital is either on or off, there is no in between like you get with analog. Hence why on your cell phones you don't get static, you just get cutting out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fixter:
I have a premier account with Sprint and I was told I don't get discount from buying accessories.
[EVO 4G Accessories] liquidkernel:
That's correct. Spending $150 on an HDMI cable is such a waste of money. People get suckered into thinking it makes better images. Now for analog on composite cables, sure.. but digital.. not a chance. Digital only has a "digital cliff," which is why things get cut off instead of fade out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zikronix:
im tyring to figure out a non convoluted way to go from micro hdmi to my deck. in my truck so i can pipe gps dispay to that.

I did it with my little adaper for my tpro and an ipod video cable and that worked for the hero....now htc has F'd me. LOL
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
That's interesting. I didn't realize the hdmi port would output the gps screen, good to know.

Also, have we found a way to output everhing displayed on the eve and not just video and images?
[EVO 4G Accessories] zikronix:
Im not sure it will with HDMI...

on the touchpro it came with a little video/headphone adapter you could pair that with an Ipod video cable which would convert it to composite video with stereo audio. Well that same adapter also worked for the hero...great right, now that I have an evo....now what...HDMI to composite cable... afaik there is no way to easily do it with out converters that require power, etc simply because hdmi is digital and the deck only accepts analog.....dammit LOL

Also Im not sure why all you people want HMI cables to output to your tv...I was just gonna pick up a tv wall mount from monoprice and mount the evo to the wall....its screen is damn near large enough to replace my sammy 55" LOL
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
got my cable in today... will test it shortly
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
Wow.. well that sucked..

First off it did not work on my Samsung 40 in lcd 1080p 120hz tv. This set is fairly new..maybe a year or two old. Mode not supported is what appeared on my tv screen.

It did work on my 1080p 24in Dell Monitor. I think the problem is that the resolution output is 480p.

Hopefully this can be fixed.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tommy96814:
the cable only allows to output slide show and video to the tv and not anything else. pity.
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
yea in mycase its pretty much useless.. cant the evo output 720p atleast?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wazzy:
Will Sprint TV out work with the Micro HDMI?

It would be very cool to have this working through the sprint tv app.. can anyone confirm that it does work?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
ok. so its extremely hit or miss..

Gallery pic slideshow seems to work.

Most videos in my gallery bring up the mode not supported. Got it to work on ONE video and that did output in 720p. (maybe thats why it worked).

Everything else was not 720p and therefore did not work for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
Sprint TV does not seem to use the HDMI connection.

Seems limited to only gallery slideshow and youtube. Youtube wont output video to tv for me since its 480p.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wazzy:
Thank you guyver2077 for confirming that Sprint TV doesn't work with HDMI.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mast3rpyr0:

I really need to not post late at night. It just doesn't do me well...

I think I need to bug monoprice and see if they are going to carry any hdmi to micro hdmi cables. They normally have great prices on cables.
[EVO 4G Accessories] diomark:
Hmm.. My HDMI cable came in today (It's the amzer brand) - but it causes the evo to go to the boot screen - evo's basically frozen there until I take out the battery:(

Anyone else see this behavior?

[EVO 4G Accessories] Minjin:
I just want an adapter, preferably something I can put on my keychain. I'm not interested in using this at home (normally). I want to be able to show a movie or a slideshow when I'm out and about and most TVs nowadays have an HDMI port with an HDMI cable plugged into it. And I'm certainly not going to carry a cable with me at all times.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bubbajoeee:
I was trying to purchase this cable and went to go pick it up (Amzer is in town) they siad they were out of stock due to the previous batch having quality issues, new batch comes in on the 29th. I canceled my order and went with the ebay Molex one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] roshambo:
I ordered mine from this seller on eBay and they accepted my offer of $15 immediately. Save a couple bucks! =)
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
I usually get cables on monoprice.com or directly from China via Ebay. Considering most of these cables are made there anyways. Doing a little search yields this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-HDMI-Male...ccessories&hash=item4aa219c829#ht_1141wt_1137

Type D to Regular for $6.80/shipped. Will take about 2-3 weeks (from my experience) once shipped.

Also, for those coming from a phone with a MiniUSB connector, instead of buying all new MicroUSB accessories, consider buying the Mini-to-Micro USB adapters. I got four with BIN for $3.96/shipped. Again, 2-3 weeks wait probably. But well worth it. Saves me from having to buy a bunch of AC, USB, and DC adapters.

The main difference in my experience between the China ones on EBay and the retail ones stateside is simply price. You're paying for that retailer's storefront (web or physical).
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
I need an adapter.. normal hdmi female to evo 4g type D hdmi male.

[EVO 4G Accessories] vedavin:
yeah...that would be great accessory.....
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
There has to be one somewhere. Anyone? I paid 30 bucks for a good hdmi cord. Why buy another when i can convert the signal?

supposedly there is a section to set the output resolution..

[EVO 4G Accessories] gmelchert:
yeah when you plug it in you get the choice of 720p, automatic and 480p
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
Yes. Check sounds & display for the hdmi settings.

There should be a huge market.

that is great freaking news.
[EVO 4G Accessories] spyngamerman:
sounds stupid but i cant get my microhdmi to work it reboots my pphone how would i go about using it i have stock 003 and latest ota updates
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mast3rpyr0:
My amzer cable just came and nothing works at all.. did i miss a step somewhere?
[EVO 4G Accessories] guyver2077:
Working perfectly for me on latest DC rom.

With the ablility to set output resolution at 720p, now youtube displays videos on my Samsung LCD tv.

The only thing is that "HQ" mode in youtube is only 480p so the image on the TV does not take up the entire screen.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
So how about this as an adapter? It's an angled Micro HDMI to HDMI Female adapter so you can use your standard HDMI cables you already have (or anywhere you go will likely already have, so just carry the adapter.)

It's only $6.88 shipped. I'm going to pick one up and see how well it works.

Edit:

Ha, link might help a little huh?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-HDMI-HDMI...ltDomain_0&hash=item1c13842e16#ht_3622wt_1137
[EVO 4G Accessories] Minjin:
I saw that but I'm not really liking the angled connector. Let us know how it works. Since the Droid X has the same micro hdmi connector, I'm sure we'll see more of these on the market soon.

I still want one of these that is made as small as possible and has a keychain adapter so I can carry it around with me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gmelchert:
I saw someone earlier had a problem with the phone freezing. I did too until I removed my usb cable. HTC is dumb and you shouldnt have to do that but it fixed it for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Thanks for that, I ordered one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TambourineMan:
I can appreciate that a small number of cables are defective, but there seems to be more afoot than that in that many people are having problems.

Are HDMI cables strictly a bunch of wires, or are there converter chips in the end plugs? I should think not as there doesn't seem to be room.

Is the problem that some cables are just version 1.3 versus 1.4 (although some 1.3 cables have been reported to work)?

Is the problem that some TV's HDMI in is old or non-standard? how can the stupid cable companies produce set top boxes and DVRs that don't have any problems and HTC cannot?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sprockethead:
Nobody knows. It is a mystery for the ages. All I know is that mine does not work. I guess it could either be 1) the phone is ****ed, 2) the tv is too old or incompatible somehow, or 3) the hdmi cable is ****ed.

So I need to try it on another tv to rule it out. I'm going to try it on a tv with 1:1 pixel mapping, as my theory is that only tv's with 1:1 pixel mapping will work. Well, it's my hypothesis at least.

Then I need to try a second cable on my tv, so I bought another cable and am waiting for it.

If none of the above works, I guess I'll have to try a new phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] psych2l:
Has anybody tried outputting to a computer monitor? I bought one of these from ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/HDTV-24K-Gold-Adapter-DVI-I-Male-Convert-HDMI-Female-/280526733509?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Electronics_Accessories_Wires_Cables&hash=item4150b240c5#ht_1152wt_692

but when I connected it to my monitor or projector my phone freezes. Sometimes if I jiggle the connection I get the hdmi notification but then it disappears. Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rasterX:
Yes, I've done so a few times, video works fine but no audio if the monitor does not support HDMI audio (the EVO does not give you the option to re-direct the movie audio to the analog headphone jack, at the least the current driver doesn't).

Type D HDMI male - Type A HDMI male (cable, Molex 687860003)

-> Type A HDMI female - DVI-D male (adapter, MonoPrice generic)

I'm connecting to a Dell 2407WFP via DVI-D, not DVI-I as described in that eBay listing (though the adaptor pictured is actually a DVI-D, since it does not have the extra RGB pins next to the blade pin).

Is the cable working connected to a HDMI display, but not when used in conjunction with a DVI adapter? If you haven't checked, I'd fault the cable first, there seems to be a lot of bad Micro HDMI cables going around.
[EVO 4G Accessories] psych2l:
Hmm actually I've heard about bad cable's too. Both the cable and converter that I got were from cheap ebay sellers, I'll go check at best buy tomorrow to see if the cable itself is at fault. Thanks for confirming for me :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
I got one of those and it works perfectly with a cheap HDMI cable I had laying around. I have also ordered a straight adapter, the angled one is kind of awkward. If only the angle was in the opposite direction, it'd be pretty natural, but it has the cable coming off the EVO perpendicular and towards you... There's another thread w/links to the straight adapter, or search for it on EBay.
