I ordered mine from verizon with free shipping , I think the part is VZW6300TVOUT , the tv out app is included with the incredible. Most DI ROMS include it. I hear no Aosp rom will work with tv out.

Is HDMwIn broken?

Mirroring doesn't work. I tried it 2 days ago at my mom's house and it worked. I disbanded update to the app yesterday and it doesn't work. The cable I have is new.

So are you saying you did update?
I updated and it doesn't work. It was working before the update. I tried it on 3 different tv's and my cable is brand new. My port isn't corroded or loose.
I use full HDMI for evo (the green one) on many TVs and several roms and haven't had a problem.

More information is needed. What ROM? What exactly happened? Have you tried another HDMI cable? Captured a logcat so we can see whats going on? This post would be better suited for the HDMwIn thread.

I used FullHDMI + Slingbox to mirror an entire Heat game on Friday when I was out of town. Followed that up with some Pandora. Today I mirrored some ESPN on the TV at work during lunch, too. As a matter of fact, I got most people going to lunch at the same time that I do so they can watch ESPN, too. lol (We don't get ESPN with the TV subscription package we have at work)
You get what you for, I guess. Well worth price of pizza, IMO.
I'm running UD and then I flashed CM7 to see if it would happen it still does the same. The cable I have is new and is the correct one. I tried it on two Phillips TVs and a Samsung. The phone doesn't do anything when I plug it in. It comes up with cable undetected.

Is he paying you to come in and try to persuade people to buy his app? Anyway, don't you have better things to do than troll xda looking for threads to crap up?

Can you get a kmsg and/or logcat while you try to mirror? Any information would help in figuring it out.
I don't know how to logcat. Great job on the app by the way.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
are you familiar with adb. go into shell and type logcat. there is a way to output it into a .txt file but I can't remember the way you set it up. ctrl+c will stop the output.
Just got my micro Hdmi cable. I had hdmwin working but it seems the cable can be flaky and not keep its connection. Anyone have this issue? Cable was bought from monoprice.com
Edit: I have it working now. Just have to keep the phone in place. Works well now

[Q] HTC Sense.com

Wasn't htcsense.com supposed to work for the DINC2 after we received the Gingerbread OTA update?
If so, it's not working for me...any ideas?
So I guess that's a no? I've looked, looked, and looked some more and can't find a way to make HTC sense.com work on the DINC2.
Any ideas/solutions would be helpful.
Thanks!

I think I read somewhere or saw in a video review from phonedog.com that Verizon had that option removed, so you can't download more skins, etc.

Will micro usb to hdmi work

I'm considering picking up one but not sure if it's worth it
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
I don't have the link off hand, but there's a thread in the accessories section that discuses this. IIRC, there isn't any confirmed way to use tv-out yet.

HTC apparently said our phones support mhl so its definitely worth a shot, I'm looking forward to your feedback
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
We have been trying to figure tv out for a month in the tv out thread. Let us know if it works. I wrote to HTC and they told me that the phone has mhl but they don't make the proper cable yet. I guess micro usb hdmi is worth a shot, let us know if it works.

[Off Topic] Netflix vs. Hulu Plus

Which is better and why?

Pick up an apple TV 2 for 99 bones. Jailbreak it add xbmc and there are plugins which will give you access to more than either can offer at $0 per month. Google is your friend.

Only for 2nd generation? Not the newest ones?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I believe #2 is the newest. The 3rd Gen not out yet. Seas0npass the the jb to use. iOS 4.3 is what you want. Got mine off amazon and came with 4.3 installed. Another option is search eBay. They are selling them pre set up for around 139. Best part is they did all the work for you.

I can do the jailbreak stuff myself assuming I can downgrade if it comes with a higher version. So I'd be able to stream hulu and movies off the internet with plugins for free? Count me in

Hulu is ad central. I'm going to say Netflix wins here.
Netflix runs in every room in my house
Hmmm interesting
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'd say netflix as hulu is too jam packed with ads for the same amount cost of netflix. Wish I could get the two combined into one minus the ads.
I have hulu but cant stand paying for adds plus their website is a jungle going with netflix all the way
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I had to make a choise the other day because I never used both before....
For me it came down to which has the most device support including our phone which has HDMI out to a TV and of course...
Netflix wins in this area....
So long story short....
Netflix...
I have both, when hulu plus works it works great! But the problem is getting it to work (outside of the computer, the LG tv app of Hulu plus has never worked and whenever my ps3 gets an update Hulu plus never seems to work).
Try Hulu plus out, google free month trial hulu plus and they will let you test it for a month free of charge (currently that's where I'm at and I probably won't renew it because of all the issues on ps3/LG tv).

For those looking for other options. This option would require an apple TV in each room you wanted the service but it is a small investment considering you would be able to get rid of all other services including cable or dtv. This would also include getting rid of services like vudu. Enjoy my fellow xda members.
If life was like a box of chocolates wouldn't there be a layout on the inside of the box telling you which are the good ones? Until then use Google.

I use both. Netflix, if it has it, is ad free. But hulu has all the new stuff. If you want first run programming, Hulu is the way to go. If you want movies and archived shows, Netflix.
anyone wanna share a login for my birthday? haha jk. thanks for the input guys but cash flow is not permanent for me

Roku supports plug ins out of the box. Plus it is cheaper for lower models. Also there seems to be sales on Roku on a regular basis. Lower models are not bad though.

Still doesn't allow payments via "tapping your phone" with NFC. Just lets you send money to people who have a email address and a bank account linked to it, it's basically PayPal.

How bout you take out your debit card or cash and pay like a normal person. I would never trust my bank info to a cell phone app.

Anyone that buys something off of the play store already puts that info on their phone to be fair.

That solves it. I've never bought anything from the store to be honest. Well I did have to enter it in when I bought my nexus 4 last year. BTW I wasn't trying to be harsh. I've just seen threads with frustrated people asking why g wallet doesn't work on their device. Even when I had it on my gnex i used it a few times. When I had it on my n 4 I never used it. I think I tried at at almost every place to see if I could get used to it. Most retailers don't even have that activated at their pos system. I found it faster to pull out my card.

I'm holding out hope that this will make nfc work any skeptics go read latest info for Google wallet in play store all you haters and paranoid im not putting my credit card on internet lol
You sound like my dad
That's what credit cards are for purchasing things and not being liable of you didn't make transaction lol.
Sorry for being optimistic.
We will know more by end of week
Read this and tell me what you get from it. Maybe our device won't be one of them but what I read and posted earlier today said all phones android 2.3 and higher.
I just dont see why they would do this just so we can send money to people in gmail ? And it says nfc
Nfc would have nothing to do with sending money to people threw email.
Who knows just something I'll keep my eye on ans thought you all might want to also. No one is forcing you to use it

Well there's a reason they don't let you use it if you're rooted. Security issues.

After reading a few posts I went to the store to check out some more info and it let me install. This wasn't the case this morning, I just did a clean Rom flash and looked for ****s and giggles and at that time it said not compatible.
I'm at home, so won't be able to test much in store till tomorrow.

Hmm the app installs fine on mine per the article link above. Went to Play Store directly without some mod app. Haven't tried to use it to pay. Oh the article said NFC payment still requires a supported phone to do so. Not sure about the One.
