anyone know of any hdmi out docks for the thunderbolt ?
or any hardwired video out?
i'll give you a friendly bump as im also interested in some info on this
The official HTC one was supposed to have HDMI... but that did not happen.
Yes it's very disappointing that this cannot be accomplished.
You were wondering about the availability of a multimedia dock for your HTC ThunderBolt. I understand that this accessory is important to you but you should be aware that this item is third party. I would recommend you check with Verizon and find out when they plan to make this accessory available again. I apologize for any inconvenience that you have experienced.
If you need any further assistance, you are welcome to send another inquiry through the HTC website by going through the Support page (http://www.htc.com/us/support) then tapping ‘send us an email’. You should input all the necessary information requested on the page.

There is no HDMI port on the TB. You knew this when you bought it. How can you put an HDMI port on a dock for a phone with no HDMI port?
three letters - MHL
If the usb port was set up for it then it should work. And, in some of the pre release documents I linked in another thread, HTC was supposed to be coming out with a cable for our phones. But, like everything else, sadly it never appeared.

Check the above link, If they can make a adapter for this they can implement this into a dock. I'm sure it will be pricy, If money is no problem and looks isn't also Buy a dock, buy the adapter tape them together woola. Now this is for the inpatient person.
Or you can always plug the phone into the dock, set the adapter beside it and plug the wire(comes with adapter) into the adapter, plug the wire(comes with the adapter) coming out of the adapter to TV. Magic aye ?
If you have a xbox just use it

Well the title says it all, did any of you guys/gals tried to use a micro-USB to HDMI cable to try and get tv-out of higher quality than current component cables?
I know some Samsung phones had that option(usb to HDMI) and I know android OS supports it, but many companies have been known for blocking this option however. Samsung themselves even offered the cable, but it is now out of stock.
Also, does anyone know where to get this cable for less than $30+? I would try it out but that price just seems like a rip-off!
Plus does anyone know where the restriction the manufacturer puts on usb to hdmi video output is lcoated at? (in the anroid OS parameters)
Thnx!
I believe the Captivate can only do TV out through the Headphone jack, not the micro USB prot. But don't quote me on that. Check out this video.
i read a review that said the phone could do tv out through micro usb to hdmi but the cable from samsung is too expensive and sold out to boot.

The Captivate can in fact produce TVout via a MicroUSB - to - HDMI cable. You just need the cable and your good to go.
However some DRM Protected files may not play correctly on your TV
Samsung released a page with it on it. Its out of stock, but will be priced at $50! I think that's way too much, hopefully there will be cheaper options out there.
The samsung item is Product ID: ECC1HU0BBEBSTD
Does anybody know if the HDMI cable will power the phone at the same time as using it? I have read that the HDMI spec provides a 5V power supply and was wondering if that carried over with this cable (or correct me if I'm wrong on that). It doesn't sound like anybody has been able to find these cables anywhere yet, but I was just curious if I should be excited at the prospect or dismiss it entirely knowing that it'll kill the phone's battery...
gonna hafta pick up this cable sooon when its available...
I'll buy it if it works like the 3.5mm headphone jack video. IE, it displays anything, rather than just a few supported things.
Cheap deal
Found this while searching for that cable. Looks like you can get a replica cable for $3.60. Out of stock of course.

The pictures of the cable show a port of some sort, on the HDMI end. It looks like there is a picture of a power plug just above the port. I'm guessing you can plug your micro-usb charger into the HDMI end, and charge your phone that way.
Quick thought on this guys. There's no proprietary magic going on so someone should try the micro to standard usb then get a usb to hdmi cable. I hate to string cables together but data is data and in lieu of waiting or paying 50 bucks, I'm gonna try a two adapter method. Probably cost 20 or less not 50.

Need to pay better attention, those cables will not work. You need a microUSB to HDMI not a microHDMI to HDMI cable.
Thnx for replies, I also posted this on another android forum and it seems there are just no shops that currently sell it. I called couple of big suppliers and they all say that it should be arriving soon.
So it seems we just going to have to wait this one out.
$50 for a 2 ft cable makes even the ever so expensive rip-off cables from Monster Cable co. cry. lol
I was hoping this would work, I emailed Samsung to see what they had to say. Their response was not what I was hoping....
Hopefully its a case of the customer service rep not knowing anything. But its looking like these cables are only for some pmp style devices Samsung makes. It would be nice if someone can confirm this.
The way it sounds is if you want anything better than composite video out, you will have to use DLNA.

Off this subject, but I noticed you are running the Clockwork Mod Recovery on a Rooted Captivate. Can you point me in the right direction for accomplishing this?

Samsung changed its tune about the cable working with the Vibrant and Captivate. So either they made a mistake and removed the cable from the page(s). Or they are going to announce the cable when they have the software to make it happen done.
They probably made a mistake, however on both captivate and vibrant seems slightly more unlikely.
Very fishy indeed, like always samsung is in some kind of a cover-up... in any way the guy I was talking to said they special ordered them and they have arrived now.
Here is the link...
www .cellularaccessory.com/ecc1hu0bbeb.html (remove spaces of course...)
Not much better than samsungs price but at least they have them in stock...
Someone should buy this and see if it works lol
Or you all can contribute a dollar or something and I wil lbuy it myself for testing.
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...
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECC1HU0BBEB-SCH-i500-Fascinate-Captivate/dp/B004H9XXZY
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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
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.
-Lil'
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.

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.

Hi, hope someone knows the answer to this:
The KiDiGi dock allows for data hot sync, does that mean I can hook up the MHL cable to it then to my TV? or that is not gonna work?

It says in the features on that page MHL supported so it would seem so. How much have you seen this dock for?

This one looks even better: http://kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1317
It's similar but this is a cradle with builtin MHL. It takes a USB connection for power (I don't know if a computer-connected USB cable would provide enough juice for MHL?) and has a regular HDMI output. So if you want to replicate your phone output on the TV, just dock it and off you go - no tangle of wires if it's setup correctly I'd guess.
These are also available here for £17.99
Does anybody know anything about these or the company that makes them? They are almost cheap enough to give it a punt ...

Still dunno about the product but I want to warn people about some uncomplimentary reviews being posted about the supplier - nicecans - I mention above: linky
Has anyont tried out HDMI/ USB adapter on this yet? Is it full mirroring?
Using an MHL adapter does give you mirror display output. There is not enough power from the phone to power the MHL adapter, so you must use a power adapter.
I used an HTC MHL adapter. Check with Monoprice, they just started carrying generic MHL's.
Did u guys gets an adapter with your phone? Wirefly said I wasn't supposed to get one.
Uhhhhh... Last time I looked, Samsung wasn't buying HTC branded accessories and including them with their products! LOL!!
No MHL included.

Nope. They are cheaping out on us. Just the phone and charger.
The European version at least got some decent looking headphones, and I have seen one set actually have a basic leather case. The case might have been a reviewers special or something.
Best place I would recommend getting an MHL would be Monoprice. You can get them cheaper at Amazon or Ebay, but you get what you pay for from those places.

Usb to HDMI with another USB port for power. I have an HTC version. Works great, must use power to usb port next to HDMI output. Some devices have enough power to drive the adapter. Unfortuntely, the E4GT does not.
What, not even headphones.

got my mhl adapter and mirroring is working good.
However wondering if there is any way to make the video quality playback better?
should one adjsut the screen density or any other settings?I have you tube and netflix playing well but not in that high of quality IMO
I noticed a lot of people are looking for a HDMI adapter but is boycotting Samsung's $40 adapter . I don't need an MHL adapter but for those looking for a cheaper alternative.

Yes, there is an adapter that will go from the 11 pin micro-USB on the SGS3, to 5 pin micro-USB, so you can plug in the micro-USB from an "old" MHL adapter.

It lets you connect your old MHL cable (or a $5 one from ebay) to a galaxy s3 and still work. I'm using it and it works perfect.
Even if you don't have an old cable, this is still the best deal since it's $5 for a 5-pin cable and $10 for the adapter.
