Does anybody know if the old touch pro tv cables can work on the EVO? I know the EVO has HDMI out, but with the old cables and maybe some adapters can it work on either the HDMI or the Micro? This might allow you to hook it up to a projector with no HDMI for presentations.
well, for starters, the touch pro had a mini USB port and the Evo has a micro usb port, so no, the will not work
You need an HDMI port to use the HDMI video out. The Incredible's video out cable could possibly work, but I highly doubt it. You're looking at HDMI only.

Hello,
I'd like to connect my EVO to my desktop LCD monitor to watch video on bigger screen. Has anyone tried it yet? Anyone know of a micro HDMI (type D) to DVI cable or an adapter? thanks.

you might be able to make your own... just get an DVI to HDMI cable and splice on a type D end to it, not sure if it will go backwards though...
thanks, but I am interested in making sure I am going about the right way. I want make sure all the HDMI 1.4 features are supported in this solution and its fully compatible. Has anyone tried it yet?
Not really sure what HDMI 1.4 features you expect to get when your end connector is a DVI port. If you cant find a cable that goes from the Evo to DVI then you should be able to just go to HDMI then use an adapter to go to DVI. I used have my computer hooked up to my Home Theater via a DVI <> HDMI cable. Worked great, Full HD and all.
thanks. I read there a bunch of new features in hdmi 1.4 and wanted to make sure I go with an optimal option. Seems like an hdmi cable and a DVI adapter is the way to go. This way I can connect to hdtv and lcd monitor.
Yes, its true that HDMI 1.4 is great and has a lot of new things, including 3D support. But keep in mind, this is a phone. It doesn't even output 1080p video, so you'll be fine with the adapter.
Yeah, it can only to 720p output to a monitor/TV.
Something else to consider, HDMI integrates video and audio over 1 connection. If you use a DVI converter, you will lose the audio. I don't know if the EVO will allow you to output the audio out via the headphone jack at the same time or not, but I very much doubt it. So in other words, by converting the signal, you're going to lose all the audio and kinda makes it useless.
hmm.. well that sucks. any ideas on how to get around this problem?

Sure, you can get an HDMI to DVI With Audio converter..but then again, you might as well buy a new monitor with DVI inputs for the price..

Hi, as you know SGS2 doesn't support video via 3.5mm jack like SGS does, and I was wondering if there's any way of converting HDMI to RCA?
I found this cable:
www .amazon .com/HDMI-RCA-VGA-Cable-1-8ft/dp/B002ZUI68G/ref=pd_cp_e_3
(remove spaces from the link)
but I doubt it would work as you need digital to analog conversion and the cable doesn't seem to have any "black box" that could do it.
Can anyone reccommend any (cheap) ways of connecting SGS2 to TV via RCA using phones USB port?
BTW if Samsung did it same way like they did with SGS it would make peoples lifes so much easier!!!

This is something I have tried and did not work. I bought an MHL adaptor for Samsung S2 and also HDMI to RCA cable with black box. The video and audio did not work with HDMI to RCA cable. Need help here.

From my understanding you need the micro usb mhl to scart then a scart cable going into a hdmi to composite downgrader and then you can hook up the rca cable - I haven't done this as would work out quite expensive but quite sure it would work as your problem is the hdmi to rca cable they never work as don't downgrade signal.
If anyone finds a cheaper way please let me know.
Also wondering if there is anyway to use allshare with apple tv box as I have one of these - if anyone cam help that would be great.
Apologies for highjacking thread a little bit but as a new user I'm unable to post my own thread yet!
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a HDMI to VGA converter to use with the Xoom? Every so often I'll invite over a few people and play movies in the backyard. I've been using a laptop and projector, but after getting the Xoom I've been thinking about getting rid of that laptop.
Related question. Are there any HDMI/VGA converters that split off the audio? Should I even bother with that or just plug speakers into the headphone jack?
Kramer Electronic has 1, a VP-422
is it not possible to convert to vga without digital scalers ?
Not without a transcoder. VGA is analog, HDMI is digitial, they send a completely different kind of signal. DVI-D and HDMI are the same however (aside from the lack of audio, of course), so if your monitor or TV has DVI-D, then you can just get an adapter on eBay or monoprice for a couple bucks.
from what i've read micro hdmi doesnt have the right pins for a DVI connection.

Perhaps that's why it didn't work for me when I tried... I just ended up buying a different monitor with HDMI.
Xoom does not have the required +5V out that is needed for DVI. That's why it won't work.

Has anyone gotten hdmi mirroring or any hdmi output on the epic 4g touch? I bought the micro usb to hdmi adapter plugged it in and it did nothing, also searched for mirroring apps with no luck. Samsung mentions hdmi output for it in there specs on the e4gt. Does anyone know anything about it or gotten it to work?

Did you plug power into the adapter??
Yeah, it works great for me. Does need AC power to drive the high def.
I ordered the adapter that was recommended on these forums; can't recall the name but I can find out.
Which adapter do you have?
As long as you use TouchWiz it will just work. It NEEDS an AC adapter to power it, I don't think USB port on a computer will work. If it's plugged into the wall, the TV, and the phone, then you may need to try a different TV or monitor.

I have a cable
I have a HDMI to MicroUSB that I bought at Target.
When I plug it in, it doesn't work. This is a scam considering it was $20 and my phone needs to be plugged in for anything to work... LOL so learn from my mistake and don't buy a single cable. You need to buy the thing where you can plug your phone into the HDMI and power all at once. Kinda like this one (I think. I'm not responsible if you buy it and its total crap)

I can not seem to find a dock that includes HDMI out and a USB hub for my Nexus 5. I have a few ideas but none of them seem very feasible. Does anybody have any docks or docking solutions that they can recommend? I found a 2 way micro usb splitter, and I was going to plug a small usb hub and a slimport hdmi out adapter in to the 2 available ports. but I feel like that will not work. I found a little MHL plug with a media card reader, single usb port, and an hdmi port, but from what I have seen the Nexus 5 doesn't support MHL. Would any roms support MHL, or is it a hardware thing? Any answers or recommendations would be much appreciated!
