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!

How much did you pay for the HTC branded one an where did you buy it? I've heard the HTC one is around $40. I think that's crazy as I paid $27 shipped for the T-Mo brand one and it works amazingly perfect! It's the exact same quality as watching a DVD!

Kaomie,
Would you mind measuring the square part of the mhl cable? measure LxWxH please.. I'm trying to see if the size is feasible for me to mode and integration into a dock..thanks..
I also have an htc mhl adapter bought it off amazon for $30 works amazing.
EDIT: Don't know if this allowed here, but if anybody lives in So Cal in here I have an extra mhl adapter for sale not Htc. Its the Tmobile model.

I can't seem to find one of these for the Flyer. I have one that came with my Samsung Infuse but it doesn't work....the video never stope flickering. Has anyone been able to get an HTC one?
So you do get video out from the flyer through the usb port using a mhl cable but it flickers? That is an interesting find.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
wow...so do we have a video out through the usb port????? didn't know that!
Possible soluton to fix flicker using MHL cable...
Hi Kirbo,
Have you considered going into your advanced monitor/graphics settings? I don't know if this will work for the Flyer, but for my set up, I have dual 23" monitors, one hooked up to my laptop via HDMI and the other via VGA. Once in a while, my left monitor, the one with the HDMI flickers.
The reason it flickers is that it somehow reverts to 30hz instead of 60hz. I can fix in a few seconds by changing it back to 60hz. You may want to try that... Just a suggestion.
I am curious now about either finding an HDMI docking station or one of those MHL cables you speak of.
Take care!
My old.incredible.tv out cables fit the usb port perfectly but don't work. My guess.is there will be some cable.HTC will sell
the adapter from the infuse should work just fine. there was a YouTube review showing that they used the infuse MHL adapter with the flyer and it worked just fine.
Where can you get one of these adapters?
I have tested it with the adapter from the Infuse and it worked just fine for me. The adapter requires power, which is provided by the charger that came with the Infuse. The Flyer projects better video than the Infuse, at least for the apps. Angry Birds looked real nice on a large screen TV. I have not messed with any of the video settings.
The MHL adapter for the Sensation from TMobile works great.
You need to have a micro usb charger plugged in though.
No flickering. Woohoo
please, have you a link from ebay or other sites? I cannot find it
Will this work?

I ordered it just now hoping that you're right about compatibility, anyway...the official HTC adapter will be not available till august.
Would this work? Only $25 on Amazon... (Not in stock right now.)

(EDIT: Apparently it will not... MicroUSB vs ExtMicroUSB on the Flyer.)
I'm a little frustrated with accessory availability for my Flyer... Can't find the white dock, can't find the MHL adapter... (And if you can, the prices are kind of a rip-off.)
I ended up ordering the Fujitsu pen for $27 shipped from B&H. Screw $60+.
(P.S. Where is my Honeycomb update that is coming "shortly after launch.")

damn, I could not see any video signal. I know that it need a power, but plugging in a microsb cable from a pc or a power adapter (I used a motorola one) his led does not power on, but on the flyer "blink" the sign "hdmi connected".
Expansys told me that this adapter is NOT compatible with my Flyer.
I'm really sad, I don't know if I can try to find a proper power adapter to make it work.

Sprint has the HTC branded MHL adapter available on their website or in the stores through their Direct Ship process. $40 with a 1 year warranty.
I found something similar to this on Amazon yesterday... It was black, and HTC branded. Oddly, I can't find it now, but I can't remember the verbage I used in my search. If I find it again, I'll post it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

YES.
According to the description on the monoprice site, the adapter has a micro-USB charging port on the side of the adapter.
I bought this one from Amazon since I have prime:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006V7F380/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I have to have the regular usb power cable plugged into it for it to work with my TV and that charges my phone.
So it can also function as a 6ft power extender for charging if you don't use the HDMI part.
Happy with it for the price.
I have the HTC MHL adapter and I'm getting CRAZY lag when I play video games. I'm thinking it's sense, but I'm hoping it's the adapter.
Can any of the guys who bought an MHL cable try playing an nes/snes/genesis emulator while plugged in to the TV?
ya I'm getting a bunch of lag while playing HD video and audio cutting out with the Monoprice
update: seems that was a player issue? Was using MX player. Now I'm using Dice and and no lag.
monoprice....got that and a bright yellow hdmi cord for dirt cheap.
Anyone knows if those cables work on AOSP roms (cm10)?
