The coupon ends July 31st
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.

i was thinking more in line with getting the mhl adapter, like you said everything else is readily available on amazon and ebay for cheap.

I was thinking the same too. Screen protectors are $2 a dozen.
is the tmobile mhl the best adapter to get to display the evo on tv?
do you also need a power adapter plugged in / does it allow a power adapter to be plugged in?
What category is the MHL adapter under, I don't see it on the Sensation page?

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
Wait, isn't this the MHL Adapter?

It looks like there's a USB port on the side of the adapter...
Thnx I just got a micro dual USB charger for 10 bucks

Does it not make more sense to buy the most expensive accessory they carry and pay full price for a 20 dollar accessory? Why not get a $100 dollar bluetooth headset for 50 bucks right?

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.
To the above poster, you are correct about getting what you need, I just was saying....... Never mind ignore me.

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!
NOW ON SALE AT BEST BUY $39.99

Mine broke the day before yesterday aswell ...
I got lucky that regard. Picked up a brand new touchstone at staples from the clearance bin...$9.99. Also grabbed 3 HP chargers with cables for $7.99 each....should be set for the life of this tab and then some ;-)
Someone mentioned a fix whereby you use a pair of small pliers to crimp the silver connector (the smaller end I guess?) very slightly so that it gives it a little extra pressure against the connectors when inserting into the touchpad. Dont crimp it too much though or else you wont be able to insert it.
I guess you could open it back up a little with a screwdriver if you crimp too much.

Damn that's a good deal. We use the touchstone a ton and it's nice but we use the normal cable to charge our phones, works great.

Amazon has cheap charging cables from 3rd party sellers:
Sorry I can't post a link. Here is the description
KHOMO Super Long 6ft (SIX Feet!) USB Data Charging Cable for Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF101 TF201 (High Quality Rubberized Cable, not cheap Plastic)
$6 for 1 and $8 for 2
Actually they are in a two pack for $5.15+shipping
StevieJ
Just ordered the 2 pack and the 2 dollar case for 10 bucks, hope all works well!
Sent from my Tranny
Purchased.
Buy em’ before the seller knows how sought after these are. lol
8.14!!! Hell yeah, it's hella cheap for 2 packs.
Woo! Prime eligible!
The only ones I can find on Amazon are now $23 for two cables or $12 for one.
Damnit, they raised the freaking prices already! Wish I could have known about this sooner!
didn't take long, mine on the way.
I'm impressed!
I ordered on Tuesday and they arrived in today's (Thursday) mail.
The cables are almost twice as long as the stock Asus cable and are slightly stiffer.
The one I tested works fine for both data transfer and battery charging.
The TF connector looks identical to one on the ASUS cable and fits snugly.
Pretty good deal for a little over $8.00 delivered. It's a shame that they tripled the price, but it's still an OK deal.
Could someone PM me the link? Or is the deal over? I only see them for 10$ now...
I too received mine today as well. Pretty good as far as I can tell. I also ordered the 2 dollar case and must say the case looks every bit worth the 2 bucks and not a dime more. Oh well, good charger cables though.

Ordered 2-pack on Tuesday. Just got them. Both are good, charging or connecting to PCs.

Is yours stock, or ROM'd?
I am running ARHD 3.1.0, and mistakenly ran the 3G enabler script to use a 3G modem, not knowing it won't work right now.
Apparently, one of the side effects is it kills the USB connection to the tablet. I re-flashed ARHD 3.1.0 right over top, and it cleared right up.
Hope that helps
Just got mine. Running stock updated ICS.
USB recognized on computer.
Cable charges fine (not through usb of course).
Good pickup.

My stock cable dos fine, this one dos not. I'm not worried about it, as long as it charges, I'm good.
Got mine on Friday. Charging and data transfer with no problems. Best $8.14 I have ever spent. Love the length too.

So if I just use a USB male to female cord to extend the stock cable, wont that work ?
Now, I say BUYER BEWARE because I just bought this POS from Best Buy brand new in the box, and it works like complete crap. I don't want you to make the same mistake I did. I will be promptly returning this tomorrow.
The connection cable you plug into the phone's charger input from the Rocketfish is so shotty (and that's an understatement) it really only worked for 2 minutes after I held it with my thumb a certain way. (It's like holding a TV antenna the right way to get a picture to show up)
I'm giving this product 0 out of 5 stars. BUYER BEWARE! DON'T SUPPORT ROCKETFISH'S OVERPRICED GARBAGE!
---
Also, can anyone suggest a high quality one that will allow me to view everything that's on my phone on my HDTV? (Not one that only lets you play movies or look at pictures) - I mainly want to use this to play video games and surf the web.
Thanks in advance, zmag
I bought a cheap one on amazon for under 10 bucks like 6 months ago and it works great use it atleast once a week

Pretty sure you just got unlucky on that one, the MHL you are talking about is the exact one i used for my LTE...never had a single issue.. and if you didn't already know....thats not based on the cable... its based on if the rom you flashed supports that..
Thanks for the heads up I been looking for one I won't mess
with this
If you plan on moving the phone around at all... Arliberator,,, then don't buy this one.
Op. I can't remember the name but the red one on amazon works great.

I sell the Official HTC one for the EVo 3d etc. cost 29.99. at work atleast
bought mine off ebay for 5 bucks almost a yr ago. works fine.
I bought the one from T-Mobile for my Evo 3D, over a year ago. Think it cost me around $20 but worked perfect on my 3D, and worked the one time I tried it on my Evo LTE. I bought the Media Link HD though over half a year ago, and just use it now. The Media Link HD is awesome and has never have me a single issue!! Being wire free is awesome!! I highly recommend it!!

anyone tried the onn mhl adaptor from walmart? I've used a couple of their products (a mouse and usb cord). I can't really say to much about the mouse since to me a mouse is a mouse. But I've used alot of different usb cords (I've flashed alot of phones) and theirs was really good. I'm wondering if it has the same quality?
What about trying the Samsung Galaxy S4 MHL/HDTV Adapter since it does not require a power source?
A buddy of mine gave me his RocketFish MHL adapter a while back cause he didn't need it any more; I use it with my HTC EVO 4G LTE all the time. Doesn't seem to have any issues, as far as I've seen.
Though MHL/HDMI hasn't worked for me since I flashed CM10.1 "cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2". Hopefully that'll be fixed soon, though.
No I got two from best buy within weeks n both messed up where the charger go so yes rocketfish is some bs
