Does anyone know if the Transformer will come with a mini HDMI cable packed in?
I was checking over at Amazon and found an Amazon branded 6' high-speed cable for $7 and a 9' cable for $10. It had 4.5 stars so it seems solid.
Has anyone ever used any of the Amazon branded cables? http://amzn.to/hlQSOp
Is $7 a decent price for a 6' mini HDMI these days?
I use monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10242&cs_id=1024201&p_id=3645&seq=1&format=2
Works from my video card to HDTV.
Check this out: 15' micro USB to normal USB for $1.12...
Wait that was earlier today - NOW it is $2.18.

So how do you connect HDMIs with a USB cable?
thanks, ordered the 15ft one from monoprice for $8 to go to the back of tv
Thats all i use is Amazon Basics 1.4 cable. I got 6 (Google TV, PS3, Xbox 360 HD DVD , Cable Box, 3D PC) going to my receiver and one going to my 3D LCD. Everything works well from the 3D blurays to the ARC to the Ethernet. I also have an Amazon Basics mico HDMI to HDMI for my Evo 4G and i bought 2 (one to travel with)mini HDMI to HDMI for my Transformer when i get it Tuesday So like i said its all i buy.

Thanks for the feedback!
I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon: http://amzn.to/hlQSOp
Being a Prime member it came in a couple of bucks cheaper than Monoprice.
NOW if i can just get Amazon to ship me a tablet, I'll be in business!
For every accessories/cables on my part i always use ebay, for this price you could get 2 6' mini hdmi to hdmi and they are also covered with nylon...
just my .02 cents
Edit: of course it is cheap (for the price, been using those cables a while and it is A1) only thing is shipping time, you definately have to be patient.... But i find the nylon mesh design definately great!
Does anyone know if it's the same cable as the Atrix?
There's also these
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-female-to-mini-hdmi-male-adapter-converter-58158
cheap and then you can just use any old hdmi cable you have lying around, rather than a special cable just for this device.
What do you guys think of this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Qualit...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2c5fa2c9da
i got one for 3 bucks on amazon, free 2 day shipping....
Ya they all work the same got one for 2$ at dealsEXtreme free shipping
Thanks i will just check dealextreme then

I have tried 3 different brands of USB 2.0 cables and come to the conclusion that only true USB 3.0 would work with the TF (though I would LOVE to be proven wrong).
Where are people getting their extension cables? I refuse to believe that people are living with this horribly short charging cable. It doesn't even reach from my outlet to my desk without an extension cord.
Normally I buy cables like this from Monoprice or DealExtreme or dollar stores, but in this case i would rather find one that someone knows works. I have checked in The Source and Future Shop and could not find any USB 3.0 extension cables.
There is a thread about it called "Short Cable".
Some have bought from amazon.com. Some from Monoprice.
Since I'm in Canada as well, I saw some at Canada Computers and are $10 for 3ft and 13 for 6ft.
I'm taking a chance with Dealextreme for $5.80.

Good to know, might get that one.
Bought the 6 ft at Canada Computers ican brand and it works for me.
I ordered one from Dealextreme so I'll let you know if that works as well.
I wish they come in black.
I ended up ordering one from monoprice... I'll report back after getting it.
Just bought a HDMI to mini HDMI cable works great on my large screen tv, means I can now use the Asus pad as a media streamer..it works really well with Plex. if your in the UK and want one I got it from www.iCompinkCartridges.co.uk and was a 2mtr cable for £2.32 with free postage. Also have a case on order hoping it will fit the Transformer it bends open and becomes a support for the pad, update if its any good when it comes (it was only £4.99)
Link doesn't seem to work? Quite a bargain you got there.
Anyway I got my one from Amazon.co.uk for about £7.00:
Neet® FLX - Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable - (1.5m) - 1080p Full HD - v1.3b - Type C (mini 19 pin) to Type A (std 19 pin) - Professional HDMI Lead
(Can't post outside links yet)
Interested with the case though, got link for that? =D
Only £1.96 with free delivery http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wired--up-H...UO88/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306514460&sr=8-1
How about using a mini HDMI adapter with the HDMI cable of your choice?

(EDIT: haven't ordered it yet, but for $2, I might try it.)

Hi
I lied about the case price (well my memory did) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250818946312&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Still a good price though.
The link for the HDMI cable I took from the reciept, it seems to be an Ebay (sorry) shop thingy ..do a search on Ebay with the name and it should turn up.
If you're in the U.S., Amazon has a great cable, cheap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ES5ZR8.

The coupon ends July 31st
The best thing you could get with this would be a screen protector for the Sensation, since theirs and ours are the exact same size screen. Anything else we could really get from this? I guess chargers as well but you're still getting gypped at half-off a $20 micro-usb charger. Amazon has good ones for way cheap.

i was thinking more in line with getting the mhl adapter, like you said everything else is readily available on amazon and ebay for cheap.

I was thinking the same too. Screen protectors are $2 a dozen.
is the tmobile mhl the best adapter to get to display the evo on tv?
do you also need a power adapter plugged in / does it allow a power adapter to be plugged in?
What category is the MHL adapter under, I don't see it on the Sensation page?

Not at the 2 tmo retail stores I went to today w/coupon in hand. At one the rep was demoing his Sensation so I went to the car and grabbed my tmo mhl adapter and showed him what it was and he said where did I get it and I pointed at their webpage saying it was under Sensation accessories but it had been pulled off their website. He was a bit disappointed about that and tried to push the microusb hdmi to hdmi full-size cable but I pointed out to him that neither his Sensation nor my 3vo had that port and then he realized what the mhl adapter really was about at that point.
Thanks for the coupon. I'll be using it if they put the MHL adapter back up before the 31st. Or if I could find one in a store.
EVERY store I've called thinks the microHDMI to HDMI one works for the Sensation. Some training goes a long way.
Coupon worked perfectly... got my wire and works perfectly on the E3D ... playing games on the 55'LCD in 720p with perfect color and no lag ... WOW!! Ok ,, Cable only cost 10.81 with tax ... Thanks again OP
Wait, isn't this the MHL Adapter?

It looks like there's a USB port on the side of the adapter...

Does it not make more sense to buy the most expensive accessory they carry and pay full price for a 20 dollar accessory? Why not get a $100 dollar bluetooth headset for 50 bucks right?

to start with, many people dont need a bluetooth or other expensive accessory. secondly, why not print off two or three or ten coupons and just purchase things at different stores, or on different days if you want more than one thing.
To the above poster, you are correct about getting what you need, I just was saying....... Never mind ignore me.

I just went to a tmobile by me used coupon and got the mhl adapter for $10.81. They had it I. stock and had plenty and it works great. Just ask for the hdmi adapter for the HTC sensation. They knew what I was talking about. It says universal hdmi adapter on the package.
Just got my mhl for $10. 70

I just got mine from my local best buy. I looked all over the store and couldn't find it. They had them where they normally store their new phones at. Love the sleek design but not worth 50 bucks IMO.
Does it come with an MHL adapter? Or do you have to buy that over and above the $50 cost?
And I have been checking my local Best Buy stores, but they never have had them in stock. Out of frustration, I went into my local Sprint store to see if maybe they had them first. Nope. But the guy checked on it for me, and he found there was like 150 of them just sitting in a warehouse, with no ETA on when they will be shipped!!! And they had been just sitting in that warehouse for weeks!!!
Weird. My Sprint store had this in stock on day 1. Maybe it was a Evo 4G one.
In either case, does this work with the MHL adapter?
Saw the dock at Best Buy and was allowed to open up the box to check out the dock. It does NOT come bundled with a MHL adapter. The only items in the box were the dock, a wall usb adapter, and a micro usb cable to charge it. IMO it is definitely NOT worth $49.99

It does work with my tmobile MHL adapter, there is a video button that needs to be push to activate the hdmi output.
I got mine today as well. I am having problems with it though.
I will be playing a game, or an emulator and every 15-45 seconds the screen will flicker off then back on, and the sound will flicker back to the phone, then back to the TV once the screen comes back.
It does not seem to have this issue on the "main" phone screens or when I am in lesser video/sound intensive apps like mail clients etc.
If I disconnect the video dock and directly use the MHL Adaptor I have zero issues so I doubt the MHL adaptor is at fault.
Anyone else experiencing this who owns one? or did I get a dud?

Finally found one yesterday at another local BB than the one I normally go to. If you are in the Irving, Texas area, the South Irving BB, by the 183 (Airport Freeway) has about 3, and Lewisville BB has maybe 1 left, as I bought the other. I also bought that T-Mobile MHL adapter for their HTC Sensation. Using the 50% off coupon, link in the MHL post, I got it for only $10!
As I had a number of spare HDMI cables laying around, but not long enough individually, I also bought 2 Rocketfish HDMI couplers for about $29 each.
Sooooo, put it all together, pressed the button to enable docking mode and,.... and, .... NOTHING! The TV screen was blank! You would think that the HDMI out would work in dock mode, right? WRONG! I then tested the MHL direct into the phone, and I did get picture and sound on the TV. So was the dock defective in some way???!!!
Turned out, after near 30 minutes of futzing around and pulling hairs out, that by accident I found out it only worked in non-dock mode. Duh! How counter intuitive can you be?! So now it works, and fairly decently too.
Now those of you who might think the dock not worth the extra buckaroos, I personally love it! And those worried that the adapter in the dock might screw up your port on the phone? DON'T WORRY. It is an extremely smooth insert. Require zero pressure to put it in. You can darn near just lay the phone on the dock, and if positioned properly, gravity does the rest.
Now of course, my Platinum case won't fit on the dock. But it only takes a few seconds to remove or place it back on. So no biggy for me, unless you are someone THAT anal about things???
We just got some in at the Radioshack I work at and I definitely will never spend $50 on this. It's cool if you want your phone at an angle connected to a computer... big deal... and you still have to get the MHL adapter and an HDMI cable to get it on a tv. So, $50 for the dock, $30 for the adapter, $20 for the HDMI cable. $100!!!! Wasted!!!
Whatever you can do my E3D can do better!

Will this work with TF101. I have the standard HDMI cable laying around in my house and thought using this mini HDMI adaptor might work..
It will work, but I don't recommend that type since it puts a lot of stress on the connector and may cause it to fail earlier.
So which one do you recommend? There's some micro HDMI and some mini HDMI and there's type-d and so on.. kind of confuse!! Thanks!
I'm not into the super expensive type... a working one should be sufficient..
Use a cable that goes from the mini HDMI to the normal HDMI.

Do you have a picture of it? So I can buy the correct one..
The correct one should look just like a normal HDMI cable, except it would have a mini HDMI on one end.
