Ok, so I am sure a new thread is probably not the best way to put this out there, but wanted to get the word out in case it hasn't yet...
Just got confirmation that monoprice will be shipping MHL adapters that work with the EVO 3D and other phones shortly. I had sent a request about 2 months ago and they just sent me an email back today that they are going to be shipping them and to look at PID 8675.
Hope that helps everyone as monoprice has been my place for cables for many years now. Absolute top quality cables, top customer service and their prices are unmatched.
I can't wait

Shows as $16.71, so after shipping it will be around the same as buying the one T-Mobile sells...was hoping for cheaper

That's disappointing. I was hoping for a bargain by comparison with T-Mobile.
I am happy with my T-Mo branded mhl adaptor. Even if didn't have one yet, and Monoprice had them available, I'd still buy the T-Mo brand just for piece of mind knowing that it isn't some cheap no-name knock-off .....

I've never had an issue with the cables I purchased from them, I'm sure the adapter will be fine too.
I think that I'm going to have to pick one of these up, much better deal than everyone else besides Tmobile

I agree with you. I've had good luck with micro, mini, and regular usb. Also my hdmi to micro hdmi worked well. Just with quite a few people reporting issues with their mhl adaptor, I'd rather spend 3 or 4 dollars more and get a name-brand one. I'll always use Monoprice for generic cables though, their price is just unbeatable!!
Anyway, Monoprice mhl may work perfect, and I hope they do. That's just my thoughts and opinion on it....

I may have to look into this. I need to order 4 usb cables from them but I was thinking that I should get more stuff (it seems silly to place a whole order for $2.80)

"Name Brand" one?
Dude, these are all made in China...it only depends on how bad each company wants to rape us, as to what they charge for it..
These things don't cost more than a dollar or 2 to make...
For those that can't for some reason or another order from T-Mobile, expansys is also selling them for $20 shipped:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/
I'm still waiting for a better bargain. I would have bought one from T-Mobile with the 50% coupon from last week - but I called 5 stores (showed up at 2) and couldn't find it. The coupon appeared to only apply in-store.

Yeah, me too..Eventually, these will be 10 bucks or less, so its just a matter of waiting a bit.
The phone manufacturers should have included these with the phones....
Monoprice finally got theirs in. Was $22 after S&H and tax. Ships today if ordered before 2pm Pacific.

The T-mobile one isn't from any recognizable brand anyway, it looks exactly like the one Expansys is selling, comes in an unsealed bag, and just says MHL & made in China on it... Works fine though. What I'd like is one that doesn't require an extra power cable, could it somehow draw power from the phone for short viewings? There's probably no spec for that, I understand eventually MHL equipped TVs will obviate the need for these powered adapters but it'll literally be years before they're commonplace.

Hey guys, I saw this posted over on SlickDeals and didn't see it posted on XDA. Figured I'd post it here in case anyone is interested.
Buy.com has the 16GB Flyer for $199.99 with free shipping. It is a refurbished unit, so hopefully everything works properly. I'm not sure about international shipping charges, I imagine it is only free to the US (could be wrong though).
I jumped on the View 4G sale a month ago for $230~ so this seems like a pretty good deal. Maybe we'll see a surge in the forums with these recent firesales.
I'm really considering getting one. Not really sure how long the sale is for. I might return my galaxy tab 7 plus and pick this baby up. I am just worried we won't get ICS for it.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
I got one
I bought one of these yesterday at 6pm, paid for 2 day shipping and it arrived today at 2pm - 20 hours!!!
It looks great, like I just took it out of the original wrapper. I tried it for a few minutes, then upgraded (I guess that's debatable) to honeycomb. It's leedroid version, so I suppose it should be pretty good.
Now this is the first thread I read in the general section... what ever happened to the days when I would read for days on how to root a new system
I ordered one also. Should be here today with the "cheap" shipping option. Glad to hear the refurbished ones look like new.
So I've been thinking of buying one, do you guys think it's worth it or wait for the Asus 7" tab to come out?
Sent from my GT-P7510
Never know when the Asus tab will come out.
If you want something now, grab this. I played with the wimax version of the flyer in the sprint store, it's really nice.
I'm not banking on the flyer/view getting ICS at all though. I'm just going to use it for what it is.
Will the Asus Tab have an active digitizer? I have read conflicting versions about this.
$10 off Coupon for flyer buy.com purchase!
All, here's a $10 off coupon to use towards that flyer purchase, if you're new to buy.com. it's valid til 3.31.12: http://www.dealigg.com/out.php?id=33516

Purchased $199 Flyer Arrived Today - NO PEN
Did you all get the pen that comes with the tablet from buy.com? Mine did not and I wanted to check to see if it was not included or just missing?! Thanks
I also picked one up for 189. I really hope to get some use out of this at work. I want to replace a ton of paper I generate travelling around from mtg to mtg. I really don't understand why there aren't more pen based tablets out there. If this doesn't work, for 189, I'll just give it to one of my kids to draw on /watch videos.
Based on slick deals advice I got a pen at b&h for $30 shipped. Its a one button model (I have ho idea what that means yet) arrived in a day. Item number FUFPCPN36AP

I almost freaked out when it shot up to $229 on the 16th but then I checked about 3 hours later and it was back to $199. Ordered it immediately after, just in case. Wondered if there was a glitch on their site.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $150, max.
I'm not sure what the average going prices are, however.
Bought a Min condition for 130 in CL
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note - please forgive if typos
$170 is a fair price.
I got mine for 170 from someone i know, a bit of pothead though. ( probably looking for a quick buck for some weed). Anyway, he also gave it to me in mint condition with the touchstone dock. There was a problem with the adapter and the retards at hp thought it was the touchpad. They sent me a refurbished one free of charge in replace of the old one. If you dont trust the seller, id do that but ymmv
just purchased a 32gb for $175. Could probably get a second one too. Both on CL.

if you're in the austin area, i just checked out of curiosity, but i see a few in the $150-160 range for the 16gb model, you could talk them down to close to $100 since it's craigslist lol

So I'm curious, am I the only one nuts enough to considering selling his GS3(probably on ebay) for the 4-500 price to get Note 2?
I've recently gotten an itch for a tablet but don't see the need of one when I've got my phone and really think this would be a nice in between for the two.
Lots of people have just look through the other threads and you'll see a ton.

I'm actually a salesman for a VZW Retailer, I'm waiting to see how the rest of this week goes before I make the decision.
sold my s3 yesterday for $400 - gnote on the way. UR not crazy
Definitely the right choice. The pen changes everything…if you like retouching and doodling
Gs3 sold last month and have been using this stupid iPhone ever since preordering.
I am also definitely selling my s3 for the Note 2. My only problem is i don't have a back up phone and have to buy the Note first before I can sell my s3. How are you guys selling it for $400. Mine is absolutely mint and everyone on CL low balls at around $300. If i can get $350 i would be happy since i bought mine at full retail.

Price it for $395 with many CLEAR pics. Mine sold in 15 minutes with the guy coming to me. Also, if you need an interim phone, buy a thunderbolt and a sim adapter. I paid $50 for my thunderbolt on CL. Many are going for $80 - $120. You can just resell it when done and lose your $3.00 sim adapter investment
If you sell on ebay be sure to make it known that you are verifying the condition of the device with photos and video before shipment. That will discourage the scammers from trying to swap with a busted device and then sticking you for the money. Or even better when they break it within the first day and try to claim you sent a a damaged item.
Otherwise you can get burned because ebay will usually side with the buyer on any dispute. I learned the hard way with a previous smart phone sale. Took a month to get my money back along with a busted phone.

Just know that on eBay you have a lot more in fees, even if it sells for $50 more on eBay most of that will end up being paid to eBay/PayPal anyways.

I sold a Nexus 7 16gig for $120 and a iPhone 4 for $120 yesterday but I was impatient. If I was smart I would have off loaded that Nexus 7 a few months ago. Still a nice tablet hands down but I want to focus on one device and that's the Note 2.
My digitizer broke a while ago and now that I got a job I was looking to buy a new one, but I can't spend a lot of money on it, yet I have the feeling the ones I'm seeing on ebay for $30 will be pretty cheap and will break easily. Does anyone know how much an official digitizer, or at least a good OEM one is selling for nowadays? A friend of mine is going to the US next month so I will ask her to buy me one there as it will be much more cheaper than buying one on my country. I'm looking to spend less than 100 dollars on it, I wouldn't be able to afford anything more than that.
Thanks!
I've heard there are some quite reputable sellers on Amazon. You should be able to get a decent one for $30-$40. Plus, Amazon has a free shipping option for orders of $25 or more (at least in the US).
I bought a cheap one of ebay from China or Hong kong and its been fine for over 6 months
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Buy one new with a frame (not just the glass). I've done a few. Also, follow a guide that also removes the LCD. Do not fall pray to trying to thread the digitizer ribbon through the whole as you risk ripping it. Figure up to $40 is normal. I had new last week where the new digitizer was no good, so be prepared to do the work more than once and take your time.

I got one on Amazon 33.00 it didn't work after 3 it works great only played for 1 and they refunded me on the one I have installed now and working they honor the Warranty the ribbons are not genuine tear easy have to be very careful.and remove the LCD makes it easy to prevent damage to digitizer ribbon.

I have found that it can be hit or miss and have had both good and bad product from the same supplier. They are all untested digitizers.

I'm based in India, and the seller was "India" based on the ebay address, but when I got the product, it was shipped from HongKong. I can send the details of the supplier who had send the digitizer to me. I do not know about the authenticity of this HongKong Based supplier though!!
And as said above, it can be a hit or miss from the same supplier too.
i just installed a new digitizer on my atrix, it is a little hesitant at times but it works great. got it on ebay from a seller in New Orleans. I can dig up seller store info if ya want!

Seriously I can't emphasis on this enough but don't do business with Daily Steals. They take forever in shipping stuff for one. Then you might get a product that will work or won't work. And if it doesn't work expect things to take forever with any refunds/exchanges/etc. It's simply not worth the stress of all these issues just to save a few dollars. I don't get why sites like this and Droid Life keep on plugging Daily Steals either. Seriously don't buy from them.
Just get it from AT&T. They have it for $24.50 and free shipping or just go to one of their stores. I'd rather get it from AT&T than some site that apparently takes forever to ship their items.
