So I bought myself a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and was excited to use it with my Prime. But at first nothing showed up on my TV! I then tried moving the cable around in the micro HDMI port and the cable can move around pretty much when it's plugged in! Mainly up and down, and only if the cable is at a certain angle a signal is made.
Is the cable supposed to move up and down freely? If I plug my full sized HDMI into my laptop, it's not moving in any direction (except out of course )! I kind of expected the micro HDMI to do the same thing.
When the micro HDMI cable is placed at the right angle, my Prime notifies me that an HDMI cable has connected and the image goes through to the TV. If the cable is at the wrong angle both the notification and image goes away.
Is my Prime strange or is this normal?
I have exact same looking cable(hama) and its sits very tight in hdmi port
on my prime,no movement at all.
Try to use some other cables
depends on the brand cable you use. some are tighter fitting than others. I used the one that came with my atrix phone. not the tightest fix but works until I find another one.
I have the same adapter and I noticed some up/down wiggle as well. However, even though there is a little bit of wiggle, my HDMI connection always stays connected.
I actually just received the adapter in the mail this weekend and when I first plugged it in to my TV I didn't see any thing at all. So I was thinking, "is there something I need to enable on the Prime to tell it to send video to HDMI out?". After a little dinking around I discovered my TV was on the wrong HDMI input. After switching to the right one, all was good.
I am using Accel micro hdmi to hdmi bought from Frys. It is working fine without any issue. It fits perfectly.

yes but its like with memory cards n other things. some might be slightly longer or thicker than others, etc...there are variances within the standard.
So it could be me being paranoid, but I just returned my TFP because my HDMI out port wasn't working. I've heard of other people with TFPs having bad HDMI ports as well. Now it could be just a coincidence but I wonder if the HDMI port is not as sturdy as it should be. You might want to return your TFP if your still in the window. If not try the cable on another device or try a different cable.

I have never heard that the size of data/display ports can 'vary'. Even the smallest amount of size variance can make a cable (especially small ones like micro HDMI) not fit properly which is why there is a standard that is followed when manufacturing these things.
My guess is that the 'wiggle' that the OP is referring to (and the wiggle that I notice with my adapter) is most likely due to the female micro HDMI port on the tablet not being solidly attached to the main board. The female port may also be bent on the inside, causing a bad connection. I highly doubt that the 'wiggle' is occurring because of the male micro HDMI port being too small or something. I suppose one thing that would prove my theory wrong would be to buy a different adapter and try it, but my guess is you are going to have the same result.
My HDMI worked for a while until one day when video wasn't displaying on my TV with the HDMI chord in. So I unplugged it and my TFP froze. From then on, I haven't been able to get get my TFP to see the HDMI cable when it's plugged in. Basically I think the hdmi port might have died. Tried on several TV's and still no dice. I might eventually try another HDMI cable, we'll see. I'm not in a hurry.

I always want to use my flyer to connect with projector to support my presentation . Now I already have official Flyer hdmi connecter (with this cable you can use hdmi cable to connect with your HDTV see attachment for the picture)
and i found this cable on Ebay which is convert hdmi male to vga female (see another attachment for the picture)
Can i use this 2 cable together to connect with VGA male from the projecter?
Anyone have idea about this?
Thank

I think you need more than a cable. You are having to convert from digital to analog. I use this http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Compon...XVBC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1317658374&sr=8-2 and have been able to connect my Acer Iconia W500 and my Archos 70 to my computer monitor through a KVM switch using this converter. There are some cheaper ones out there, but I know this one works (using it right now, in fact).
There are some unknowns in there: I don't know if the Flyer supports HDCP over HDMI. If that's the case, protected content probably won't play over the VGA adapter.
The bigger question is: does your projector have a DVI connector? If it does, you're best off using an HDMI-DVI cable.

Most of the projector in my meeting room never have DVI port It always have only vga(It be like this every meeting room in Thailand)
It sounds like it ought to work, but you really can't know until you try it. Assuming the adapters work individually, I don't see a reason this can't work. The only thing I'd be concerned about is trying to play copy-protected videos, but if you're just using it for PowerPoint type of stuff, I'm guessing this will work... but you really won't know until you try it.
I know that's not very helpful, but it sounds like not a lot of people are doing what you want to do.
If you do get that adapter, please let us know what happens. If nothing else, someone may be searching for an htc flyer vga adapter and stumble across this post. Letting the world know how this solution works will be a nice gift to the future.

I think it may take around 2 week for shipping. I will review it as soon as possible after I get it.
Are there any good news from your experimentation, Hellogop?
The Flyer outputs digital HDMI only (as most devices do) so you must use a adapter that converts from digital to analog VGA. For example looking on ebay...
This cable @ $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-hdmi-m...264?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b609b180
will not work.
However this adapter @$28 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HDMI-Ma...ultDomain_0&hash=item1e66dc4db9#ht_2223wt_952
Probably will, but I caveat this because I have not personally tried this adapter.
You could also use this single adapter @~ $35 to go from the micro USB on the Flyer to a VGA port, http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapter-Galaxy-Tablet-Sensation/dp/B005K9XEP4
Note that some of these conversions to analog will only work at 480P resolution SD TV not at HD 720P.
Yeahhh Hope This picture can tell all ^ ^
So this 2 cable can work that the good news.
But actually the Singature is not 100% clear but i think it OK to use for your presentation.
When you connect the HTC cable your Flyer's speaker will not work so you need to use other speaker to connect with aux port on the HTC cable.
If you have any question please ask. Now I happy with the result http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

MHL is not compatible with HDMI. Unless you have one of the 3 TVs on the market with built-in MHL, you need the box. blame Apple.

There is no such thing AFAIK.
All microUSB ports require MHL adapter for HDMI.
I'd be happy to learn that I am wrong on this issue.
I just got my MHL adapter from monoprice.com in the mail today and I have to say this setup is pretty nice. They have the adapter for $10 and you can also get the external battery that I have pictured here for another $13. It goes nicely with the adapter since it does need to be powered and of course is a nice extra micro usb charger to have when away from home.

The external battery is nice. I did plug it into my View to make sure it would work and it does, but I have yet to actually try to transfer all of the battery life over to the View. Given it is 2800 mAh it should charge the View to about 70% power. The main reason I got it was just so when you hook up the MHL adapter I wouldn't have to have another wire running out of it for a charger and I can also use it with my battery sucking 4g Droid Charge. I will say I watched 3movies yesterday before it died so it will power the MHL for around 5-6 hours.
I've got this one when it was selling for $13.75. Now he raised the price to$19.

It works, but WARNING:
it is listed as compatible for View. However, View power adapter doesn't fit. I had to buy a car adapter for View (well, I wanted it anyway), then use AC/DC converter and standard microUSB to USB cord.
I purchased the HTC M500 MHL HDMI ADAPTER today and it comes with 3 plugs. One for power and the second for the HDMI cable. The third is round like an ear phone plug but not marked. Anyone know what it is
Does anyone know of a compatible Micro USB AC power adapter to use with an MHL/HDMI adapter? I don't have any Micro USB power adapters around and need to order one. Does the voltage/current output matter for this?

Any USB power adapter will work . 5V @ 500ma minimum which is most.
You can power it from your PC with a micro USB cable also.

not possible (without a lot of equiomnt)
RCA = analog
HDMI = digital
so you would have to use a converter

MHL was designed as a alternative to HDMI and USB. There are actually two TVs on the market that can take a direct MHL cable. LOL

I am looking for a Micro USB Charger cable that actually fits. I have numerous charger cables but the head on all the cables I have are a little too fat. The door that protects the port is constantly in the way. I have included a picture of it.

I think you're unlucky. I've got a number of usb to micro usb leads that came with various phones (Galaxy S2, S3, Google nexus 4) and they all fit with no problem.

One of them is a logitech. The other is just a generic cable. I will check out monoprice and a few others. I had a bunch of leftover cables and I may need to shop around to find one.
EDIT: Found a Monoprice one that fits. I believe that most from monoprice will fit easily. Going to order a couple.
The hats wrong with the one that came bundled with the tablet? No issues here.
I had tryout 4 USB cable, 3 out of it fit nicely. The only not fit is newer Samsung cable which too fat in general.

I am using a kindle white cable and the sony supplid plug to charge my Tablet Z, but the cable end is about 1mm too wide. I too will be looking for another cable ideally 1.5 metres long, any ideas? (UK)
Does it matter what brand of cable you use to get the best charge, is the plug amperage the only important factor?
I also find the supplied micro usb cable to be way too short. Would a USB extension cable work?

Yes. Maximum length for a USB 2.0 cable is 16 feet (5 meters); however, for reliability, I would not use a cable length over 10 feet (3 meters).

The brand doesn't really matter so much as knowing it is a good quality cable, you don't want some el cheapo half-assed cable that burns your charging port up.
The stock charger fits perfectly as do my Note 2 and old Moto RAZR cords.
I've recently ordered some Fosmon cords that are 6 feet long and should be here in the next couple of days, hopefully they'll work with the XTZ. I'll post some feedback when I get a chance to test them.

So I got upgraded from my Note2 to Note 3 and discover that the charging/data connector is the type that looks like the end that goes into a USB 3 hard drive.
I previously purchased some right-angled Micro-USB adapters for my Note 2 - they look like this, but I'm not sure if this is the actual product I bought.

What I'm looking for is the equivalent type of right-angle adapter but for the USB-3 type of connector used for the Note 3.This way the connection is safer and easier to handle as the cable is not sticking straight out of the bottom, but running parallel to the device's bottom edge - even in landscape mode. If you're using it while you're lying in bed while it's charging you can rest the phone on your belly and not risk tweaking the connection.

Hey - that's it! I followed the link and found some black ones that i purchased. Only thing I'm worried about is the Samsung detecting the different cable and throwing up the nag message or not even charging at full speed. It did this with a different cable I took from one of my portable hard drives. I'll report back if there are problems.
Thanks for tracking that down!
Doh!
If anyone else missed it - if you just need charging, it's totally unecessary. My old micro-usb connectors work just fine plugged into the right-most side of the Note 3's USB3 connector - I discovered this by just plugging one of them in by force of habit and realizing it worked!

The only "nag" is a warning about USB3 file transfers affecting your signal, which happens with the stock cable too. In my Alienware m11x r3 it doesn't charge any faster in the USB3 ports according to the app that reads the charging rate (450mA). The USB2 port that remains powered with the system off actually charges at 1,200mA when not in host mode (off or asleep). It'll do that with a standard microUSB 2.0 B cable too.
Anyway, I prefer the full microUSB 3.0 B connector because it is stronger (distributes force), so I also bought some right-angle adapters from eBay. Mine are black and seem intended for mounting in a dock of some kind due to screw posts. I ordered a left and a right angle one, even though the pics are the same for both. They'll be here soon!
Has anyone tried this adapter: http://shop.brando.com/Micro-USB-to-VGA-Audio-Output-Cable_p10586c0312d002.html
to show presentations or such on a VGA screen/projector from the Note Pro 12.2?
Keep in mind that our mini usb connector is not normal. It's not clear what the connector looks like on that link but I suspect it's the wrong one. But you could always get an adapter to make it work.

It's a micro USB 2 connector but should work in the USB 3 port we have
Have you actually tried a micro usb connector Rider? It will not work.

Not sure what type of adapter you're referring to but I use a microusb 2.0 OTA adapter to connect flash drives and card readers all the time.
With regards to the OP I'm not sure if the note pro supports mhl.

I got Samsung's USB-HDMI MHL adapter and that works just fine.

Micro USB 2 connectors work fine for me.

You're confusing MicroUSB with MiniUSB... The NotePro has, just like all Android device, a MicroUSB.
From left to right: NormalUSB, MiniUSB, MicroUSB.

I have tried the micro usb that came with my logitech keyboard and it doesn't seem to fit in the 12.2 usb slot. There is resistance and I don't want to force it for fear of bending the pins. That's the reason I have said that the normal micro usb doesn't fit.
All of my micro-USB accessories fit just fine in mine (mhl, OTG, chargers)

Hm, the one that came with my Logitech K801 fits perfectly.
There are pins on the USB plug's bottom side that ensure the cable remains in place. It's possible those were not quite as flexible as the ones on the Samsung cable.
(I'll not ask if you're using the right side of the slot, I'm assuming that much was obvious )
Thanks Shadow...I tried again, forcing it this time and you are correct. It fits. I apologize to all for my misleading comments I said before in this thread about the Micro USB not working. It just required a little harder push.
