Is there a TV out function on the Dinc2? Phonearena states that it has TV out function (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-Droid-Incredible-2_id5173), yet I don't see the TV out cable online. Does the Dinc2 do full mirroring to a TV via the micro usb, like the Dinc1 did?
I just emailed HTC. I will see what they say.
Use the same cable? I have that cable running through my car dash so I can listen to (and watch) Pandora on my Alpine touch screen.
So the incredible2 can be output to a tv then?

I was asking too. I can verify 100% tomorrow

Ok. Thank you.
Htc emailed me back with this: "The HTC Incredible 2 supports a feature called Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL). You can find out more about this technology here: http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link. At this time, HTC does not manufacture the appropriate cable to support this; however, the option is available."

No way. Seriously? My Inc 2 supports mhl?
I just almost did a backflip.
This makes my phone worth 3 times as much personally.
Off to buy a cable/adapter haha
Its like a hidden feature or something...its not listed on the box nor in the manual.
Ill give this a try in just a few

I don't think there are any mhl cables out in stores yet. I don't think it works with inc1 tv out cable.

There are MHL microUSB to HDMI cables in existence for other devices. I've started searching for one. Supposedly there's one available for Samsung Galaxy S devices that I might try to procure.
How pricey are these cables? I'd try one out we're not sure on if it's not horribly expensive.
Here's one just for proof:

Also found this, but out of stock:

Good deal. Thanks for the links. Let me know if anyone tries these out. Might have to get this phone if it does. TV out is a great plus.

Same here, if anyone gets the cable, would they be kind enough to tell us if it works or not? I'm just really looking forward to using emulators on my TV
OG Inc cable does not even fit in the INC2 port. No worky

We aren't talking about the og inc cables, we are talking about the new mhl cables that are used in such devices as the galaxy s2 and evo 3d. The inc2 has the mhl tech just no cable as of now.

Hey guys - Just wanted to let you know that I ordered one of these:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/
It should arrive in about 2 weeks so I will be sure to let you all know if/how it works out as soon as I get it.

Thanks! It would be awesome if the Dinc2 could do full TV mirroring. Hope it works.

Hi fellow Xoomers!
I need your help finding a keyboard for my Xoom that comes with USB and HDMI ports.
I actually don't know if such thing exists, but if yes then I need it!
I've almost deserted my PC and my Xoom is doing all the work I need but still there's the need to connect flash drives, use HDMI...etc.
I'd really appreciate it if someone had a link for this.
Thank you in advance!
I use a dell bluetooth keyboard if I need a real keyboard. It is nice since bluetooth is wireless. I'm wondering if this little hub might be something that would work for you. Personally I don't have one. For HDMI, I have a separate cable.

This is not what I wanted but certainly was helpful.
Thanks!
I use the bluetooth motorola keyboard, but if you want a laptop style one this one is surely for you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTOROLA-BL...ccessories&hash=item337768b411#ht_2286wt_1185
For HDMI I use a cable as well, but you can buy a dock station also
I need a laptop-like keyboard for xoom 2, but I didn't find anything

Just get one off eBay. Theyre like 1 dollar. Every OTG Cable will work. You wont need a specific one for the Note.

Now that the source code has dropped, are any developers considering adding USB OTG/Host Mode anytime soon? I'd be willing to donate if someone got it working or was actively working on it.
For anyone wondering what this is: USB OTG/Host Mode allows you to connect other devices to your E4GT (IE: Flash Drive, HDD, Keyboard, Monitor, DLSR Camera, etc.) and use/access them. It is supported by the International SGS2 and the US Carriers, but for some reason Sprint disabled this functionality in the kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802740 credit for this link goes to dberend! It's a usb otg helper link, but our phone are missing some modules if I understand correctly. They end in the file extension ".ko"
Last I heard Agats kernel was recognizing that a OTG device was connected! I'm not sure if it is working completely yet though.
Responses are appreciated!

USB OTG/Host Mode lets you connect a USB device to your E4GT, like a Thumb Drive, External Hard Drive, Keyboard, xBox Controller, etc. It's useful for a variety of reasons.
If this is in the wrong section, will a mod move it? Thanks in advance!

Although I wouldn't use this, I can see why people would want this. I use it on my tablet all the time so people without a tab can benefit from this.

Yeah its a very useful feature. I heard a few people mention the E4GT supports it, but that it was disabled in the kernel
It doesn't appear that very many people are interested in this, should I let this thread die?
i am still interested in this
I would use this function for sure.. even though you can already make these by combining a power cord with some kind of microUSB-to-USB adapter.. basically a "powered" mUSB-to-sUSB adapter..
Before I read about them, I bought an adapter that I thought would work, but not the right one.. then I read about making them yourself is possible.. but I never tried it yet..
If they were an already built accessory, I would use it to mount a multi-port USB hub, then connect a keyboard and mouse.. I of course would need to figure out how to use both the HDMI out AND the USB hub.. it would be seriously sick to use your phone literally like a mini PC!

The SGS2 International and SGS2 from other carriers supports it, but for some reason Sprint disabled it in the Kernel? I'm not 100% why its not yet supported..... all I know is that its possible, and I want to be able to mount my Flash Drive, HDD, and plug my phone into an HDMI converter for my HDTV and bluetooth a mouse/keyboard combo.... mini-PC, like you said
I added a poll to see what level of interest people have about this

Very interested, there is an app for controlling Canon DSLRs that I want to use which requires this.
Thanks for not flaming guys. I'm moving this to general as it looks like it could become more of a discussion thread.

I am also interested. I bought a few of these usb cables on ebay- but none worked. I would like to use a usb keyboard...which right now I am considering buying another bluetooth keyboard.
I'm also extremely interested. Would be very awesome.

Quick question how do I get what's on my phone to my tv do I use the same cable I used with the 3d or do I use Bluetooth or all play ??

Anyone have a idea on this one?

You can use a MHL adapter but you have to use the one for the S3...the previous MHL adapters were 5 pin...and i believe the MHL our phone requires is a 13 pin...dont quote me but i think thats the numbers.
If you want to show videos or pictures from the phone to the tv you could use all share or Twonky beam. If you want to mirror what's on the phone then you probably have to buy the wireless dongle.

What about mirror could I use my old mhl one from my 3d or do I need to buy a new one?
Sent From My Rooted SG3
Post #3 you have to use a new one OR get an adapter for your old one.
the new phone is 11pin I believe so the old mhl will work "directly"

The most simple solution in my opinion is go to best buy and buy a blue tooth tv adapter. All you would have to do is set it up and then connect via wifi from your phone.
