I've searched Amazon for the HDMI out cable (mini-usb to HDMI) and it came up with a lot of EVO 4G compatible ones, will that one work or not? I recall viewing a video review saying the hdmi cable for the EVO 4G isn't compatible with the 3D Evo, but I could be mistaken.
You NEED a micro-usb to hdmi cable. the ones for the evo 4g are JUST mini-HDMI to regular HDMI. Check the HTC website or wait until after the 3D comes out; there should be plenty coming out (it might even be included when you buy the phone?)

I have a Micro-HDMI for my EVO. I haven't read what size the port on the 3D is so I can't say for sure. From Monoprice you could buy both and still pay less than you would buying from Sprint or HTC.
Edit: Apparently according to this it doesn't have one, it uses some different method of USB to HDMI

It's a Micro USB to HDMI connection. The biggest benefit is that it charges your phone while connected. Biggest drawback, your TV has to have compatibility built into it.

This is correct, I didn't read this post before responding the first time
Whoa whoa, how do I know what tvs support it?

All TVs that have HDMI input (basically all of them now) support it.
Actually, no tv's support mhl right now, but they will be able to do hdmi out with the cable, but just not charge at the same time, but htc also said they have an adapter to charge while doing hdmi out

Sorry, I should have clarified. You're right. I was just talking about video out from the phone to the TV. The charging stuff, I'm not sure about.
Your tv will support it, you will have a dongle that attaches to from the micro usb to the mini HDMI port that provides function to the TV. Its called MHL technology and its very exciting. Charging your phone while you watch movies on your phone on your LCD or LED television is awesome. There are many, many functions for this technology and they are just starting to test what it is we really need to get this working without the dongle that is required without the TV or monitor needing the technology. Youtube MHL Technology and you will find your answer.
Just read in one of the links in this post that mhl does not support 3d...so how do u output 3d video to a 3d tv?

Still learning about this myself but from what I've read with mhl v.1.0 you can't, it doesn't support it. I don't know if the port will eventually be able to support it with later versions of the standard. Also, if you buy a cable when they're first available it's possible they'll only support 1.0 and you might need a new cable when later revisions of the standard are finalized to support the new features (similar to HDMI).

Kind of disappointed that I'll have to buy an adapter for my phone to charge while using HDMI out, this technology is cool, but the downside is that no TVs support it (yet). And I just bought a 42" like two weeks ago.
Am I mistaken or will all the 3D pics/vids essentially will only be viewable on EVO 3Ds? Like you'll see them but they won't be in 3D, regardless of TV or monitor claiming 3D functionality.
So now that the phone is out, has anyone tried out a generic micro usb to HDMI on the EVO 3D?
I can't seem to find any tv-out cables specific to the EVO 3D, so I want to be sure any micro usb to HDMI cable will work.

Micro usb won't work. You need.an MHL adapter. Then a regular hdmi cable plugs into the MHL adapter, and you plug your charging cable into the MHL adapter so it charges while its mirroring hdmi.

Does anyone even make a micro USB to HDMI cable? I have the adapter dongle thingy, but I'm curious what would happen if it was just a cable instead of a dongle.
lol.....dongle
This is a real disapointment. I bought a micro Genie cable for my EVO 4G. Now it sits there wasting away. I can't understand why they couldn't keep the mini Genie port on the 3D. Now I got to spend another 40-50$ if i want to hook my 3D up to hdmi.

I grabbed an MHL adapter over at T-Mobile for $20. Works like a charm. Search their site for the Sensation data accessories.

Interesting - does that adapter also give you a port to charge while you do TV Out? It's impossible to tell from the small picture on t-mobile site and for some reason the "details" link doesn't work.
Here's the correct hdmi adapter for the flyer.

Yeah, it should work the same. The one the OP linked to is the OEM version. OEM accessories are usually a little better made (not always), and are almost always more expensive than generic ones like in your link.
If its MHL to HDMI , it will work with the Flyer and View, its nothing special same as most tablets.
I bought a cheap mhl cable but the micro usb didn't fit. The flyer usb plug is not industry standard. It's sort of bent and won't accept a standard micro usb plug. Look closely.

Actually, it will accept a standard micro USB plug, and it will function just fine. It doesn't charge as quickly with one, but it still works, and a standard MHL cable will definitely work. Maybe yours had a bad plug or something.

Correct me if I am wrong but these cables require that the Flyer/View also be connected to/powered by a USB port - so that's a problem if your TV or monitor does not have a USB port

I am completely new to this topic. But, I think we can connect the USB plug to USB based chargers. I have a samsung focus phone as well and one very low end phone and both phones have USB based chargers.

you are right,it needs power supply
This cable will NOT work without a power source. Power charger is not included in packaging. The MHL cable features an USB Micro-B (female) power input. Connect the charger supplied with your mobile device to the Micro USB input MHL cable Micro USB input to power your mobile device while it is in use.

I purchased the HTC MHL to HDMI adapter. Probably a little over priced at $29 but it works perfectly. Yes it requires a charge adapter to be plugged in for it to work. It does not have the specialized plug but fits fin in the port
Guys, how do these work MHL adapters work for DVI adapters. I'm sure video will work but can of you guys check to see if it is possible to get audio out of the headphone jack while video is going to the TV. DVI does not handle audio.
Anyone ever find and MHL adapter with an audio out port?
Thanks.

I ended up getting this along with a HDMI cable. can't wait to get it and try it out on the Flyer. Thanks for the link.
I'm still running unrooted, stock GB, but am planning on doing globatron's upgrade. has anyone identified any issues with moving to HC and using the adapter?
I can not speak to that particular adapter but I am on HC and can hook up to my tv using an adapter without issue
When you use the appropriate MHL to HDMI cable and plug into monitor - does your HTC desktop screen fill the whole monitor?
Because when I tried - I only saw an HTC desktop screen fill about 1/4 of the monitor display

I just tested the one Im using with my galaxy nexus and it is not working with my S3
same problem
I can not get my mhl cable for sgs2 to work with my s3
I've got a new MHL cable and a USB OTG cable in the hope I could plug my MHL into the SGS3, use a powered USB hub connected to the Micro USB(as this requires independent power) on the MHL and then connect a keyboard and mouse into the USB hub, then connect the HDMI to the TV.
For me it doesn't work. I thought this was the whole reason they changed the MHL cable to the new type. Can anyone else confirm?

I dont think Hub will work on the phone, I am not sure....
Anyway GS2 MHL no longer will work on SGS3, Samsung has released seperate MHL for SGS3, which are available in the Market,
I bought it and tested, working fine for me...

Afaik the S3's MHL-Adapter is self-powered and does no longer rely on an external power source to operate. (Hooray!)

No, that's a pure HDMI adapter and thus Plug&Pray
Make sure to get a MHL adapter for the S3, the adapters for the S2 and other devices are not compatible to the new pin layout.
Does anyone know if I can hook this phone up to a non HD TV? Does a microUSB to Composite cables work? Would like to watch YouTube vids on my TV.

You would need an MHL/HDMI adapter (HTC OEM or third party) and an HDMI to composite converter similar to this one. The MHL/HDMI adapter needs power from the phone's A/C charger to work properly.
BTW, the Evo 3D has microUSB not miniUSB connector.

I have an MHL/HDMI adapter but have never used it on AOSP based ROM. It would be best to ask in the ROM thread if TV-out is supported or not.
