Dear Thunderbolt Owners,
Please tell me that the USB video/audio cable works on the TB... this would strongly influence my decision on buying it.
Question if it does work:
Does this show everything not just audio/video like the crappy moto X I have?
I am sure many of us want to know this
The official video out cable I have for my old Incredible does NOT fit/work on my Thunderbolt.
I got to thinking about this after the thread in the gen discussion board, and really the AV cable shouldn't work anyway. It's an analog signal instead of a digital one. So I don't know why I thought it would work to begin with. I would like to see this USB to HDMI materialize for us. My luck it will never exist. But it is listed as a accessory, so hopefully they aren't referring to the DNLA adapter that HTC just released.
Maybe something like this...

I don't know, sorry I need posts for downloading something special
If this was sold direct though amazon I would buy and test. I'm not willing to just throw away 50 in case it doesn't though.
USB to RCA would have been dreamy

They should fit, it's the same Micro-usb connector, now work it's another story.
Nope doesn't fit. Tried.

As I stated before... it does NOT fit and it is not a standard micro USB.
The Dinc actually has contacts on the top back that make it a hybrid proprietary mix of micro USB and video out signals. I should know, when HTC took forever to release it I was attempting to build my own as were others on XDA using pinout diagrams.

I can only hope for your sakes they release one. I can tell you when I had my iPhone hooking it up in my car and viewing everything on the screen I have in there was amazing. Esp for navigation, music videos, or reading email. OH, and lets not forget geeky bragging rights.
I had my DINC setup that way too. I was actually just looking at the specs on the DNLA adapter HTC put out. I figured at worst I could hide that unit and use the HDMI and run it to all the screens in my Tahoe.

No they are different, the Inc has connectors in the to.of the USB for video. If u look at the Inc USB port it is oddly shaped

Here is what may be a fix
Type the text below in google and you will get the link to the needed cable. I have not tried it. Please post if you have any experiences with this cable
HTC ADR6400 Thunderbolt Original SKN6377A Micro HDMI Video Cable
micro usb to hdmi for the TB
I really do hope we can hook up a micro to HDMI to the TB. Now that hulu is working on my TB I think I might cancel my TV and internet and just use my phone.

Very interesting, I would like to know the outcome. Thanks for the post Joshsun.
Also if anyone else tries it and it works can you describe what comes up: E.g.: Homescreen, media hub, dlna media transfer screen, etc.....
I will buy that cable when I get paid Wednesday and see how it works, though it is made by Motorola.

Hey guys that SKU for the cable is a Droid X HDMI cable. SKN6377A
Dont think it'll help us.
Yea after further review, don't waste your money. It is micro hdmi type D to hdmi. It will not work. We have standard micro usb ports.
I very much doubt this will work for our phones, but this is the cable you are looking for.

Will a Micro-HDMI to regular HDMI fit the Incredible? If not what do I use to display my phone on my TV?
The Incredible uses a mirco-USB to compsite tv-out cable.
Actually its a custom cable by htc. i dont believe just any micro to composite will work, since the video isnt actually output through the usb but through 7? more seperate pins that are a little tougher to spot. You may be a able to find a third party built one but your best bet would be from htc or verizon.
heres a thread dedicated to it. It even explains how to build one.
another thing to keep in mind is currently no AOSP roms(such as CM7) support tv-out
One great ROM that does support TV out is Warm Z TwoPointTwo
I got my cable through overstock.com for 16.99 just Google tv-out for incredible and it'll pop up

Does the HTC One use a standard Micro-USB (5-pin) to MHL adapter?
If so, does HTC make any official adapters?
I've found an older model called MTC AC M490 (for HTC Evo) but it's discontinued. I'm surprised because it has fantastic reviews and I'm guessing it would still work on the HTC One...
If not, can anybody recommend me a good adapter that can also charge the phone?
I ordered this one 3 weeks ago when it was in stock for less than £2.
Works with my HOX and One

Why settle for mhl when it supports miracast? This is wireless screen mirroring. You need supported hardware but HTC sells one, media hub I think?

MediaLink HD
Only problem is, it does nor support 1080p output while our phone does.
So other option is Panasonic box or LG box either are out in Europe yet.

If he's like me and owns the Pioneer appradio 2, the MHL adapter is practically a must with arliberator. It's not the only way to go, but works the best hands down.
Just saying.
Has anyone found an adapter that isn't laggy?
Managed to sort it out, i had to turn off game mode as the tv was trying to draw extra frames.
All running sweet now with no lag.
Pipeline makes a very nice MHL adapter. I say because I have for the LTE and it's a solid piece of tech
Shifted from the bottom of the rabbit hole
Mhl 1.0 supports 1080p at 30fps
mhl 2.0 supports 1080p at 60fps
Our phone is 2.0 capable. If you already bought an mhl adapter for your phone prior to owning this phone chances are it's 1.0. I am using the adapter I used for my Evo LTE and it looks great.

got a link for an mhl 2.0 adapter on amazon?
The only one I know of that is 2.0 is the one offered by htc only because it's labeled as such. No one else seems to list 1.0 or 2.0.

Can anyone recommend an MHL adapter on Amazon? Also, I didn't see an MHL cable as an accessory for the One on the HTC website.
Also, I haven't had a phone that supports MHL before - does it require a power cord for the adapter? I've read mixed stories about some devices requiring the adapter to be connected to a power source as well versus other devices not requiring the extra power source/cable.
Is the TV remote able to send signals to the HTC One, as described in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link#Features said:
The TV remote will control the connected device with guaranteed mixed manufacturer interoperability (CEC).[7] (Also see Silicon Image's press release about MHL on December 14, 2010). Note: The built-in Remote Control Protocol(RCP) function allows you to use the remote control of the TV to operate the MHL mobile device through TV’s Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) function.

Also... I sometimes use an HDMI to DVI adapter to use a computer monitor as a display for some devices that output HDMI (like say for instance my PS3). Would this have any chance of working or is the signaling just entirely different? (ie connecting HTC One to a DVI computer monitor)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link#5-pin_MHL-HDMI_adapter.2Fdongle said:
The first implementations use the most popular mobile connection (micro USB) and the most popular TV connection (HDMI). Other than the physical connectors, USB and HDMI technology are not being used. It is exclusively MHL signaling through the connectors and over the cable.

I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/161009409501
It is NOT mhl 2.0, tested the mhl adapter with epic citadel. When not connected, I get get an average of 57 fps on the benchmark. When connected to TV @ 1080p, its locked at 30fps max.
I can confirm that the HTC One does NOT require a power source connected to the MHL adapter to work. Older phones needed a power source
Does anyone know if there are any MHL 2.0 Adapters? Cause I can't seem to find them online or on eBay
I,m also searching an MHL 2.0 cable, i found this one :
http://alturl.com/vtu4r
it says MHL 2.0 Adapter, but : Samsung Galaxy S4 / S3 / Note 2 ONLY !
I think i will buy this one :

Where is there information on the One being MHL 2.0 capable? As far as I know the MHL consortium have confirmed the S4 as the first (and presently only) MHL 2.0 spec device on their twitter feed. Not the sort of news they would ordinarily omit.
On wikipedia both MHL and HTC One pages list the device specifically as MHL 2.0. HTC's site say MHL capable but doesn't say 1.0 or 2.0. I guess I can't find an official source of it saying that it is 2.0. If this is 2.0 then of course the One was the first phone released with MHL 2.0.

Yeah, the Wikipedia page is all I could find. Personally I find the MHL Consortium a much more credible source, and they say the S4 is the first MHL 2.0 spec device. I don't think the One has it.

I think I'd rather spend less than $10 on an MHL 1.0 cable :/
Are there any affordable MHL 2.0?? Lol

You need to buy a MHL adapter. It's less than five dollars on ebay.

If you do indeed have an mhl adaptor already and it's not working then double check the hdmi cable your plugging into it is good. I was pulling my hair out trying to get mine to work, even tired different roms. Turned out it didn't like the hdmi cable I was using (which did work on other equipment weirdly). On viper for info and working well.

I have a 1.4 HDMI 3 meters cable that doesn't work, while 1.3 smaller cables work. Might be because of that.
MHL adapter is a good option.

it's a micro HDMI cable for Moto's DROID line. The X doesn't have an HDMI port on the device. The cable would do you no good.
