Funny, that thread was the first suggestion in the "Here are similar threads we found:" dialog when I created this thread.
Anyways, my question is pertaining to the last couple posts in that thread. They were talking about the official HTC AC M500 12-pin MHL adapter. I know it's the official MHL adapter for the Amaze, but what I'm wondering is why I'd spring for that adapter, when for just a bit less, I can get the official HTC AC M490, which is the 5-pin version? Not only is it cheaper, but it'll work with any phone that has a standard 5-pin USB/MHL port.
If you've tried the 5pin then you know that it disconnects almost all the time. Plus the charging while plugged in doesn't work too well. I have the 12pin and I don't have to sit there with a steady hand while connected to the tv and don't have to worry about the battery discharging while watching a movie from my sdcard. I prefer quality over quantity.

Yeah, I haven't tried any of them. I guess I've not had any problems with standard 5-pin usb charges staying in place, but perhaps the MHL adapter causes more strain on the connector. If I get the 5-pin it'd also work for my girlfriend's evo3d.... choices
It will work if the EVO 3D uses mhl. Don't get me wrong the 5pin will work but you will start to get really frustrated if the plug or phone or table is slightly moved and you lose connection. Lol

Yeah, the evo3d has MHL, but only the standard 5pin plug.
I use a 5 pin your right about the charging watched a movie plugged in the whole time batt was at %20 at the end. Wrong about the connection though you must of had a bad one. I can pick up the phone wiggle it around and never loose the picture.

What I have found out regarding which is the proper adapter, and you are correct it's the HTC AC500 12-pin Ext-USB to HDMI MHL adapter (its the same MHL adapter that the HTC Flyer tablet uses).The micro "Ext-USB" connection and the fact that its twelve pins instead of a 5 pin connector do indeed make a difference in terms of functionality, quality, and performance. Although, that not to say that other MHL adapters with 5-pin connectors like the HTC AC490 adapter won't work on the Amaze, cause they do in terms of displaying video on your TV. However, the 5-pin adapter wont charge the unit while its plugged in, even if you have an MHL adapter that has its own AC power source. According to HTC that is the case at least, and from reading other comments, I assume that HTC isnt bullshitting.
I was also told by the HTC rep via email, that when you use the HTC AC500 12-pin Ext-usb MHL adapter, it actually allows the Amaze 4G to open up or enable a feature where the phone acts more like a playback remote for viewing videos and photos, and so basically it doesnt only just mirror image the display you see on the devices screen on the TV (in other words, it enables an app where you can select the file you wanna view from the app on the Amaze, and then you can use your phone to control the playback of the videos/files etc). I also found out, not only does using the correct MHL adapter enable some pretty cool functionality & features, it also will greatly improve the HD image and sound quality being sent to your TV. All the while, the 12-pin adapter will charge your phone in the process ...
For some people, I guess, those additional features and the improved image & sound quality won't be a deciding factor for them, and will go for the cheapest adapter they can find on eBay. For me however, I'd personally rather spend the additional $20-30 for the official HTC AC500 12-pin adapter.
... Only problem now though is, I can't for the life of me seem to find them anywhere, but you can get them direct from HTCs webstore. Only problem is HTC doesn't operate their official online Accessories Store in Canada ... and neither the US or nor the UK stores will ship items here. Poo

Sorry, I don't browse the accessories to often. But to answer your question. It does have a different feature...only on stock. It seems some roms remove the feature. But its no biggie. It still plays really good HD.

Which ROMs Support?
couldnt ever get the 5-pin to work with my Sensation before & now on either my Amaze or Flyer (but i know it works cuz it does on my bros One V) so im selling it....picked-up a 12-pin from fleabay for $15
my ? is, which ROMs will support this feature (or which ones do not)? im using EnergyROM with the Amaze & OneXXL with the Flyer
update: 12-pin working great without the need for power to be plugged-in. sold the 5-pin OEM Adapter [73H00394-00M] for the same $20 i bought it for so ended up making $5 out of the whole thing

Menotek MHL adapter
I'm late to the thread but I thought I'd add my experience with a similar MHL adapter. I got one by Menotek from Amazon [sorry, can't post links yet]. Short story is that it works, but far for perfectly:
- it does not charge the Amaze while it is connected to my TV via HDMI
- if you unplug it and plug it back, it will not detect the phone and TV connection anymore. I need to restart the phone in order to re-establish the link
- it works great for low res graphics such as youtube, fpse (PSX emulator)
- it sucks for hi res such as netflix movies
While my main use for this MHL adapter is to play PSX games on my phone on by big screen TV, I am disappointed that it doesn't give high quality video from my netflix app.
I wonder if I should buy the aforementioned 12-pin MHL adapter which is also available from Amazon. Does anyone have personal experience with this adapter on their Amaze?
I got mine off ebay for about 8 dollars and its never disconnected on me, I can even play games on it... works great!

Dont remember which seller they were one of the top rated sellers though and the mhl adapter supports 25-75hz. It was just one of the many 8 dollar ones on ebay... Idk how many pins it is, its just a regular micro usb port that plugs into the phone and it charges. Never acted up on me on stock on and still works fine on Speed Rom 7.8. These new postings for mhl adapters on ebay for 8 dollars claim to be capable of outputting 3D but in reality that is a requirement of 120hz. I don't know if I can believe that (well maybe it can output 3D but not good 3D video)
I havent tried netflix on my phone to the tv yet, last I remembered the quality wasn't that great even streaming to a phone and watching family guy... Is there anyway to adjust or even trick net flix into streaming higher quality for tv use?
I just got a Sanoxy MHL cable and it works great I have a USB to micro USB from my computer plugged into it and the phone charges faster than it drains. I tested disconnecting the phone from it and then reconnecting to see if the TV would pick it back up and it did. I had Bluetooth GPS and WiFi going while running a linux rom over the TV browsing the internet for about a half an hour and my battery percentage was even higher when I was done.

How well does the battery hold up with local video, streaming, gaming?
I haven't been doing much gaming lately and I don't have netflix anymore and the only videos I have on the phone are short clips for showing friends, so I'm not sure but if I get Netflix back or decide to game out on this thing I'll let you know.

When I get my Verizon sgs3, I would like to hook it to my car DVD player. My player has component inputs. Yellow red white. What would I need to make this happen?
Also. When hooking these phones up to a screen what are your output options? Can you clone screen? Can you extend an app to the second screen ?
It would be nice to have navigation on my DVD player and have the phone do other things like calls or texts. I'm not sure what's possible with this technology, what are your experiences ?

Should be able to get a HDMI to Composite Converter box and use the AUX input on your deck. Or check out the Poineer AppRadio2.
I've got the AppRadio 2 and love it, but make sure if you go looking for an mhl adapter it's compatible with the s3.

Cable Matters 6 Feet Micro USB to HDMI MHL Cable in Black for Samsung, HTC Smartphones and Tablets
Connected to an inverter and everything works on my stock unit.
(Oh yeah, didn't use the Samsung, had an old LG Nitro HD; I leave it permanently in the car and tether to my Samsung)

That looks promising, but I'll need to find some shorter cables.
I did this on my Kenwood DNX7190hd. Make sure you have the MHL adapter specifically made for the sg3.
1. Use SG3 specific MHL adapter - "Adapter HDMI EPL-3FHU" - Amazon
2. Connect a HDMI cable to "HDMI to Composite /S-Video Converter 3RCA CRT TV CVBS" Amazon (requires inverter power)
3. From converter, use RCA composite cables to Car Receiver composite input. Mine required "Female to Female 3-RCA Coupler"
Hope this helps....
Hi,
I am looking to buy a MHL adaptor for my GS3. But I want to display this on a TV with only RCA. If I brought a HDMI to RCA then plugged that into the MHL adaptor would I be able to show my phone screen on the TV?
Thanks in advance
i did this with vga. vga and rca are both analogue signals so you will need . in addition to an adaptor , a converter box to convert the signal from digtal to analogue. also sound will not travel at least not with vga. make sure to get adaptors and converters that have power supplies so your phone can charge while using external monitor. also dont go for the cheapest components they usually dont work or stop working after a very short time. good luck
Ahah thanks but thats quite alot to do then if I have to get a digital to analgue converter. Might not be worth it then :/ any more ideas
Just get an hdmi output it would be easier

his television only has rca.(analog} input .
At some point between phone mhl out and tv rca in.
The signal needs to be converted from digital to analog
there may be an all in one adaptor/converter somewhere. But the standard samsung mhl to hdmi adaptor will not work by itself as it does not convert but merely transfers the digital signal that the analog television can not display..

Hey dude, I got my MHL cable off eBay for like £3, and it works great. Its red, and has the micro USB and a full size USB which both need to be plugged in, the full size one goes in the TV to power the cable to something. Either way its cheap and works great. You'd save money this way

You're probably talking about this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1080P-MHL-M..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item20d65187fb
I could also buy this one as it seems to be the same as the first one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Micro-U...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item4d11e5d6b6
It seems to be a fake - no Samsung logo on front of box. But it wouldn't surprise me if it were the same on the inside. Without the massive price tag on the outside. The same box sells for 30 pounds on Amnazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Sam...F8&qid=1415559901&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+mhl
And since I already have all the longer cables I only really need the box. Just need someone to cofirm that this fake version fits the Note Pro.
Okay... So it appears that the one I already have, works... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Micro...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1e9393940d
Any idea why I get black bars left and right? Is this because this is an older MHL standard or is it because of the tablet?
EDIT: Or is this because the tablet is in 16:10 and the TV is in 16:9? Meanin there is absolutely nothing wrong with my MHL adapter.

I get black bars too, they go away when I play certain video files because the aspect ratio matches the TV and the tablets screen doesn't, there's nothing wrong with the cable.

Check Amazon or eBay. Someone might be reselling theirs. You probably will have to buy it from a regular person, though.

But there are many adapters usb-c > jack 3.5 on Amazon, but not the official one. Only the official one works ?

Yes, because it has a DAC/AMP built in apparently. I just bought a spare from the UK store, it works on other devices. Works on OP3 and my Dell tablet PC.
I hope others make something as small and compact, when you output to DAC via UAPP the listening experience is much better!
When I have some cash to burn I'll be buying some nicer in ears.
Anybody find a place in the US that sells the adapters besides htc.com? They've been out of stock for a while now.
holy moly, HTC charges 21,60€ shipping fee. WTF?
With the release of the Pixel 2, looks like google is selling a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter as an accessory:
https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_headphone_adapter
Maybe this will work with the u11? Anyone want to take one for the team and see if it works? =D
Hello I just bought an HTC U11 secondhand and it didn't have the USB C adapter. I need one where in the heck can I get one? HTC needs to step up their game why take away the 3.5mm jjack and not ever have stock of the adapters. Please anyone point me in the direction where I can find one thanks!

Actually I'm gonna hold off because I went to order and it said delivery November 17...thats a while.
Well the good news is the Google ones are only $9 now with free shipping, they were listed as $20 originally!! I'll definitely order once they are availible and let everyone know. I can't believe HTC doesn't keep stock in the US of something so important to their phone.
Works with HTC 10, so probably should work with u11
NewBee Headphone 3.5mm Jack To Type-C adapter converter
Newbee HIFI Audio Adapter Type-C to 3.5mm AUX Jack Audio AUX Type C USB C Cable Covertor
About US$20 though
Seems that the audio standard is called CDLA
What Phones Work with USB Type-C base CDLA Digital Earphones
I asked HTC directly and this was their answer:
We understand you are looking to buy a USB Type-C Adapter and it's currently unavailable from the HTC website. Regrettably, we don't have an ETA for it to give out.
Have you tried checking with your local network provider store?
As for the recommended adapters, we are very sorry but we can't recommend any third-party adapters as these are non-HTC products and we can't guarantee it'll work 100%.
Pretty pathetic by HTC considering they're about to release more phones without headphone jack. Only thing saving me is the little Bluetooth adapters off Amazon. And another hope is the Google pixel jack that supposedly has a DAC built-in. They're not available yet though.
I ordered the Moshi adapter yesterday that also allows usb c charging. Hopefully it works!
