It looks like it comes with an HDMI cable as well. It doesn't say so in the description, but after examining the picture, it looks like the empty port is micro usb, and that is an HDMI cable that comes with the adapter. At least I hope so for that price.
I still don't think it's a good deal, cause I don't need an HDMI cable, and if I did, I wouldn't pay an extra $20 for it. Plus I all ready bought the $20 T-Mobile MHL Adapter

I think the discription is a little repetitive as to what it is for.

That is disappointing to hear, Sprint & HTC must really be high on something. $40 f-ing dollars for something that the competition is selling for half that, come on guys! You can do better!

Yeah, now I can't find it either. I checked a few hours ago and it was there. Sometimes it wouldn't show and you would have to go back and re-pick HTC, the Sensation, then scroll down to data. But that doesn't seem to do the trick anymore, so I dunno wtf.

I just searched the part number on their site, supa37117

expansys carries both, the official HtC one, but its not in till august, and the other one like the one on the tmob site (they had both, too at one point) but thats like a 2 week wait, too.

Amazon has one listed, but won't actually ship until sometime later in the month....

Thanks for the link. It seems this little thing is a hot commodity. It told me they were unable to take my order online and I would need to call it in. I'm guessing their out of stock. It sounds like you were smart to order yours before the release date of the Evo 3D.

I'll be waiting for Monoprice.com to come out with one. My guess it could probably be under $10 shipped with an HDMI cable.

but can you charge your phone at the same time with the TMO one like it appears you can with the HTC one? I'm just assuming that's a microusb port next to the HDMI port as seen in the picture.

Just bought this for less than five dollars. Not sure if it will work though. What do you all think?

Short cable!

Being the type of person who doesn't like to put charge cycles on a battery if I don't need to, I like keeping things plugged in when I use them. PLEASE ASUS, sell me a cable that is longer then two feet. i can barely put my tablet on my side table because it pulls the cord. Now, my "hidden" needs to be way out in the open for things to reach... I will pay good money for a LONG cable

Doesnt specify which usb type that cable is in the listing. Just says 30inches long. So I would say that was USB 2.0 as well. Theyre usually blue tipped if they are usb 3 btw and theyre new so theyre not cheap.

Did you preorder the dock yet?
I went the other way round... instead of getting a USB extension cable, I assembled a power cord extension cable
I had all the spare parts lying around, so it cost me exactly $0, and maybe 5 minutes of my time...
Has anyone confirmed the 3.0 extension cable works? I I just tried and tested transformer doesn't charge through it. What is worse though is that I breaks the normal charger. I had to unplug everything for 20 minutes to get it to charge again.

Yes, from visions. Amazon had my first order, but I cancelled after seeing visions price on the dock. I think everyone will be gerting the dock in at the same time, so I went on price instead of shipping speed.

bobcatuk said:
I purchased a USB 3 Cable that has the correct amount of pins needed to be used as an extension cable (Male to Female) with the Asus charger, so with a 2 meter cable i can now sit on the sofa with it plugged into the charger to get full charge whilst using the transformer.
Saves having to put it down close to a power point to charge it with the silly short cable that it came with.

From this post HERE.
I'm sure it will charge fine, but pretty sure you won't be able to use it as a data cable to your pc. I've seen a lot of people confusing usb 2.0 with usb 3.0 cables. Be careful as they are very different.

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.

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

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.

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!

[Q] HTC MHL Adapter

I just got my HTC MHL adapter for my 3d, and my phone doesn't even recognize it. Has anyone else had this issue?
did you make sure you connected your charger to a power outlet? I made the same mistake when I got the one from T-Mobile!
Yes, I did attach the charger to it. The phone is charging, but doesn't output anything and the hdmi logo doesn't show up in the notification bar. I don't have to change any settings do I?
I didn't have to, I connected the charger that came with the phone, connected the HDMI to the tv, and then connected the adapter to the phone, changed the input settings on my tv, and my home screen showed up on the tv..... Maybe you got a defective one, but I can't say for sure. I know some people were having issues with not using the charger that came with the phone...
Thanks for your help. I will try it again.
My Tmobile MHL didn't recognize either at first, even with the power plugged in. I left everything plugged in, then just did a reboot. Worked fine after that.
Reboot worked like a charm, thanks!

Wow! Good eye. If you have time, I would love to test some USB devices on that. namely, I wanted to see if standard USB controllers would work with it. If you have an Xbox controller, try that. If not, you can pick up a USB controller from Radio Shack just to test, and then return it for a full refund.
I know it's asking a lot, but it's one of the things holding me back from buying this.

I work next to a Radio Shack in the mall and I know the manager, I'll ask to try it out in store lol.
Here is a picture of the dock. yea, i know my TV stand is dusty. the dock works, but i messed up my webtop installation so i'm working on getting that up lol. it mirrors fine.
30 bucks? That's honestly it? Lol, I feel ripped off now. Sprint charged me 70 for mine. I'm not sure about xbox controllers working but I know usb mice do. (Played Quake with usb keyboard and mouse)

PC USB controller works. i didn't have time to try an xbox controller.
nice. think ill pick that one up today. thanks for the info
That's a great price. I think I'll pick one up for my Dad.
i noticed that deal yesterday. i did the google shopper search for the dock lol. i just cant see myself paying $100 for a piece of plastic that just holds my phone and extends my usb options. 30 is a lot more reasonable. i was hoping to find someone who actually bought it and tested it before i did. i have never heard of that site before and was a little unsure about sending them my money...
*in short. thanks for posting this info!
Wow great! Thanks! I'm going to buy one and try it out!

Dude that's awesome! I have one on the way now. Thanks for being the guinea pig for all of us.
Do you know if you have to remove the "webtop over HDMI" hack for this dock to work?
Beware - Only Sent Wall Charger
Buyer Beware. I ordered one of these and only the wall charger arrived in a bubble envelope. They charge 9.99 for shipping and sent it in a $2.48 cent envelope.

did you contact them? If so what was their response?
Yes I did - Still Waiting
Yes, I contacted them via email on their website and called the phone number. I got a recording of some dude talking about he is busy. The website ask to wait forty eight hours for a representative. If I don't here back from them I'm going to charge the sale back.
The name on the envelope saids MyTechSolution. But his voice mail saids something else. Thats three different names so far.
Hopefully this is a mistake they can straighten out. All seems rather un-professional at this point. I have seen this before. They have about thousand items, which is enough for people to get their item and then spread the word via forum. They soon take in orders for 10,000 and run off with the money. In this case the wall charger creates a tracking number and buys more time.
I ordered both the hd dock and the car dock on 2/1 and received them both on 2/7. No problems. Genuine Motorola. Both work as expected. I do prefer the car dock over the hd dock and i think the remote is a joke

cuejunky,
Did your car dock come with the special cable that combines USB and Audio connectors?
No. Just the dock

Got an Email Response
Updating failed shipment:
Their representative emailed me apologizing and said they would send the dock out right away and that I can keep the wall charger, even though the right item will include a wall charger.
Wish me luck.
