Only thing you can do with this piece of wire is play baseline-h264/MP4 and view a photo slideshow and even that works only when it wants. Where's the cyanogen's promise of full UI output to HDMI (his ROM doesnt even *support* HDMI, lol)? Why advertise watching videos on your big TV if you can't play anything (AVI/MKV/etc) besides crappy baseline mp4 even though they all play perfectly fine on-screen using vPlayer/RockPlayer... the only good thing I can say about this cable is it was just $5, shipping included
Supports HDMI:
Stock Video Player
Stock Gallery (slideshow only)
Youtube
NHL
Jetflicks (uses stock video player?)
...
So is this with all ROMs? It seems from what I've been reading the HDMI is pretty much useless, is this correct? I was thinking of picking up a cable just to test it out but what's the point if I can't play other types of videos?
And where might I ask did you get your cable from?

Cyanogen doesn't claim that CM supports HDMI output, but that it's a future goal, as is full WiMax support. Learn to read. The biggest problem facing jeagoss (the guy who's doing the dev work on HDMI) is that the EVO's GPU sucks, and overheats whenever he gets mirroring to work.
As for other ROMs? Well, like you saw, just the stock ones have selective video output. The CM team is/will be/has been working on HDMI, it's only a matter of time until they get mirroring and/or a wide selection of video output via HDMI.
With rumbaed post like the OP's is probably the reason cm team hasn't put a rush on it. Why is their name even coming up in this post unless you were asking info about his rom, which the OP clearly was not.
I have a feeling wewon't be seeing a release until the Evo has a successor. They are going to have their hands full with all the new, more powerful phones. We aren't that far away from the next big Sprint launch if there is one.

until CM or maybe some other ROM gets full UI mirroring and/or any-video-format playback on HDMI my cable will be just sitting there collecting dust... until then, i have my fingers crossed that this happens sooner than later

Another ROM won't get it because nobody else is working on it. Everyone else is either satisfied with it not working, or the limited output that Sense has. Jeagoss is pretty much the only person working on this right now, and he just got out of the hospital from what I hear, which is why there hasn't been any updates in a while on the subject.
Besides, like I said before, the EVO's GPU is crap, and the last time Jeagoss got mirroring to work, the phone literally COOKED. If you want an example, plug in your phone, turn on wifi, GPS, bluetooth, WiMax, maximum screen brightness, and run Wardrive while connected to WiMax for about say... 30-60 minutes. You'll feel what "cooking" is like.
Myn's 2.2 RLS5 ROM
I'm using the Sense based Myn's ROM. I have my EVO connected now via a cheap Ebay HDMI cable (like $5 or $6) on my 47" LCD watching videos I downloaded and the video and audio are perfect. In fact the video is even better than basic cable signals coming in through my HDMI connected Tivo.
CM ROMs have never yet been able to support 4G or HDMI. They are in the works so hopefully soon. If you check the Android Development section there is a new Alpha WiMax mod available but is very unstable.
MIUI ROMs are nice but they too do not support 4G or HDMI.
I got a cable for $3 from monoprice

So what type of video files are you watching and what app are you using to watch them? I thought you could only use the stock video player which doesn't support Avi files

You need to use a site that plays the media using the stock HTC media player, and HDMI out will work. Mediamp4.com streams using the stock media player. Depending on the quality of the upload and your internet speed, some of the movies look really good with the HDMI out. It's a matter of finding which sites work with the stock media player and which don't. I'm sure there are plenty more out there.
P.S. Xshare.com works with HDMI out. Nothing shows off how cool your phone is like streaming porn and HDMI-ing that out to the fellas. lol
I believe Youtube videos, the stock media player and the streaming player all output vie the hdmi. It's actually kind of neat at parties to play music videos and watching full length movies that are being streamed from sites like iphonemoviez.
edited OP with a list of known apps that utilize HDMI on our phones. so far i know and have tested 3 (stock video player, gallery's slideshow, and youtube)... are there any apps/functions that can make use of HDMI out?

Updated the OP? Well, there's something you don't see everyday. I had forgotten to mention that the YouTube app works, too. I think that's it, though. I can tell you the Slingplayer app doesn't work. I still love my SlingBox, but I wish the HDMI would work. That would be awesome at work! lol
RockPlayer plays avi and many other files while allowing hdmi output. I think it might be the app you are looking for.

... when playing using Hardware Decoder (aka, stock video player's engine). does it do HDMI when using Software Decoder?
I watch NHL games via hdmi out and the NHL app on 4g.
Not HD, but on par with SD.
Nice, ill test, verify, and add it to the list once I get back home... D

For everyone that wants to play movies with HDMI out go to the market and check out a app called jetflicks the app is 1.99 and you do have to pay 50 a year but its worth the money . You get alot of great shows just go check it out !
I recently acquired an Arc from a friend at a good price but also managed to order the Xperia Play from Chitter Chatter for £149.
I had a HTC HD2 and a PSP Go (loved both of them) but thought 'time for an upgrade' and to minimise the gear I carried ordered the Play from Expansys.
Long story cut short, the Play was delayed then cancelled and I bought the Arc to put me on until the Play arrived from CC.
Now, I can't play games properly without the game pad (and miss the PSP GO) but I am loving the quality of the Arc's screen and camera. It's nice and light too.
So, anyone with experience of them both can advise me if I should stick with the Arc? I am hearing a few bad things about the Play's build quality. I cannot see a reasonably priced (or stylish) bluetooth gamepad which would solve my dilemma.
I heard that the Arc will support any USB gamepad/controller via the LiveDock after the update to Android 2.3.4...
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Build quality on the play is great. There was issues with the back button. But that had been solved in latest update so it was software fault not hardware. Nothing wrong with the screen too. The arcs may be better, but the play screen is just as good as the one on my Desire HD. And with our dual channel ddr2 ram its faster than the arc. As for the camera. It takes pictures, 3mp/5mp/8mp whatever, either way all sonys camera's are solid

all i know or read it in xplay thread, that only xplay uses dual channel 333mhz, but all of MSM8255 is capable of dual channel ram but that depends on the manufacturer if it will include it, because it will have an effect to the price.

officially they aren't supporting it but they had a survey in africa and china where they found that most phones are arm6 so they have decided to try to work on it and here comes a version.

Hey guys! I want to buy Xperia S. I like specs, but I have few questions about hardware.
Its dual core processor, is it powerful enough? Is Xperia S UI smooth on latest Sony's firmware and latest Cyanogenmod? Is complete operating system smooth on both? Do you have any issues?
Its GPU - Adreno 225, is it powerful enough? Are you able to run latest games smoothly, without hiccups?
Is phone big? Am I able to use it like daily phone in my school and so?
Are you able to play 1080p 9GB MKV files smoothly?
Please do not answer like fanboys, tell me the truth.

IMO my stock Xperia S is not especially smooth. It lags scrolling on the home screen, the camera 'quick-launch' takes forever, apps like messaging and contacts take a frustrating number of seconds to open. I tried out an Xperia T in store the other day and it was just generally smoother - Galaxy S3 and HTC One X seem in a different world. I'm sure the S is great on CM9 and CM10 but I've got a locked bootloader so can't install those. If you want the smoothest stock phone, look at the Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3 at the moment.
It's not terrible, and it'll do the job just fine, but if you want buttery smooth I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Yeah, well I have Xperia Miro now (official ICS, 800 Mhz single core), it lags but does the job. And when I tried HTC phone in store (ICS, 600 Mhz) it was like very smooth, really slow processor but smoother than mine. So I am not satisfied with Sony's software at all.
But I tried Xperia P in store and it seemed smooth. Also do you have touchscreen issues like I have on Miro?
But considering Miro is low end, I thought Xperia S is way smoother.
Anybody else, cyanogenmod?
all lags its because a lot of blotware is preinstalled on phone...
i have stock .55 rom with RooT (locked BL), via TB deleted unused system apps and LOW of blotware ( TB backup have 220MB) and phone runs really smoth... + another launcher (im using apex), and its best of...
Well yes. But can somebody answer me other questions please?
About playing 1080p MKV movies : Yes, but you will face with a big problem that any file which has over 4Gb can not be transfered to the phone.

Go for ACRO S. It's little better than Xperia S in-case of battery back up. Rest is same. And some MKV files of 1080p may face trouble while syncing between sound and video.

latest cyanogenmod (cm10): very smooth. latest sony's fw: havent tried. my current rom (miui based on stock (kinda old version) sony's fw: smooth, with a little tweak (it's miui, so, appearance matters most ). havent got any issues on both rom. there are something that dont work in cm10, but it's ignorable
the gpu is adreno - 220, not 225. but the difference (afaik) only bit mhz, and support with dx9.3, which has nothing to do with android, so the performance wont be to far from xperia t. it can play games smoothly. what is the latest games anyway? my latest "big" games are wild blood and nfs: mw. dont have any hiccups in those two.
is phone big?: it's 4.3 inch. how big is your hand. the phone is fit nicely in my hand while i think htc one x (4.7) and gs3 (4.8) doesnt fit well, but it's just matter of preference and once you got to use to your phone (any phone) it'll feel nicely fit in your hand.
Am I able to use it like daily phone in my school and so?: well of course.. except you're in elementary school
Are you able to play 1080p 9GB MKV files smoothly?: havent tried 9 gB mkv. but i have tried with 5 gB mkv 1080p, i use ufd with otg, slap the hdmi cable to my hdtv, and playing it smoothly with mxplayer.

The hardware is definitely powerful enough. In my daily usage it has never underperformed. Don't worry too much about benchmarks as they're really just a number. CM10 runs very, very smoothly. Games too.
The size of the phone is subjective! How big are your hands? It's quite bit bigger than an iPhone but slips easily into my pockets and the large screen makes it very easy to use. I wouldn't want it to be any bigger though. Try and get hold of one in a shop and see for yourself.
I can't comment on your video situation, but as others have said there are problems with files over 4GB.

Well, if u have the money and want better performance, go for T.and where do u live? Here in Indonesia T is more expensive, though the brand new xperia s is hard to find.
But if u want sexier phone, go for S..
Yes, as I stated I can even watch more than 4 gB 1080p. The codec (sound codec) matters though. If it's compatible with your video player,it'll play nicely, if not, it'll get out of sync. And if you root your phone, you can read ntfs (via flashdisk or even external harddisk), there is app for that, I use paragon ntfs/hs, and got no problem in any rom.

What?? Are you saying that you can not play 1080p videos with Software decoding. I believe most of my files will be unsupported with hardware decoding. I wanted to use software decoding and I don't want to convert files before I put them on phone.
Can somebody put some ts (example) file on BSPlayer and put on Software decoding?

PS4 and Xperia smartphone interactivity “completely happening” says Sony
Sony has confirmed that there will be increased interactivity between Xperia devices and the PS4 following the PS4 release date later this year.
Complementing the PS4 and PS Vita Remote Play connectivity, Sony has been working to increase the second screen compatibility of Xperia devices as well.
Part of the One Sony philosophy, President of Sony Mobile North West Europe Pierre Perron has confirmed that the PlayStation and Xperia team have been collaborating on the PS4 and Xperia relationship.
“This is absolutely not only in the agenda, but it is completely happening,” said Perron. “Our engineers that are working on the user interface that we put into our phones are also offering their services when it is necessary to ensure that the PlayStation 4 is fully compatible in certain scenarios to be connected [to Xperia devices].”
When the PS4 release date rolls around, those looking to purchase the console and a Sony Xperia device like the newly launched Sony Xperia Z1 or Sony Xperia Tablet Z will be able to enjoy new compatibility between devices.
“We have established a platform that is now compatible with our phone and we are offering as part of this ‘Play’ entertainment experience that we provide. The One Sony experience is happening behind the curtains, it’s not something that is just claimed on the stage by our president [Kazuo Hirai], it’s definitely happening.”
Arriving in the UK on November 29, the PS4 will be priced at £349 and comes complete with the all-new DualShock 4 controller. It will go head-to-head with the Xbox One which will hit the UK one week earlier on November 22.
“You can actually connect your phone to the DualShock controller so you can play games on your phone, using the DualShock controller to talk to your phone,” added Catherine Cherry, Marketing Director of Sony Mobile North West Europe. ”Ideally then you can connect your phone to your TV via the HDMI out port. There’s already things happening.”
With mobile gaming on the rise, Sony is looking to increase gamers’ options for playing different titles.
“PlayStation 4 is about bringing the best gaming experience for the core gamers. This is the future for them, a super powerful device like PS4 that will deliver the best class in every which way.”

This is a bad news. Are you sure there is no way to do this?

We should do a test. I think if you connect the phone via MHL to HDMI it's too much for him to processing the image because of high resolution. Maybe if we connect it via MHL cable to TV or any Screen via VGA connection will not have this behavior because VGA entrance do not request to much.

my old nokia N8 with a single 600 MHz cpu could deliver 720p on hdmi flawless.... including playing games, there is no hardware reason why Z1 beast should struggle... only bad software, hell, theres a good chance this phone has better cpu than my laptop!

Actually you are right, so I hope it's a bad software.

And the answer is.... It's cable's fault it's not the software that limits it, it's not a resolution as our screen already is full HD just as TV, the size of pixel doesnt matter, and hardware of our phone is capable of 1080p screen mirroring just like lots of less powerfull processors. And I'm 100% sure about it, as I had some chinesse mhl cable that was lagging a lot, I googled it and found lots of people saying that it's because of ****te mhl cable so I bought a better one and... I finished asphalt 8, NFS Most wanted, modern warfare 3,4 and played other games on my tv without any lag. Just pay a bit more and get getter mhl cable, that will solve the problem
