Micro HDMI

Amazon has the micro HDMI cable for 5.99 with 5.00 shipping

link please?

I think he means one of these. But I would rather get a tiny little HDMI>microHDMI adapter, similar to this one I have for my camcorder, so that I could just unplug my xbox's (or Zune HD dock) cable and throw the adapter on whenever I want to hook it up. Unfortunately my TV only has 2 HDMI ports so I'm stuck with either that or plopping down like $25 for a dumb and annoying HDMI hub. I'll probably buy the cable anyways, throw it in my car or something, have a portable movie hub for when friends want to see a movie, I'll just get the cable and hook it up to their tv's. But most of my friends TV's don't even have HDMI lol

**** IF IT DOESNT SAY "TYPE D" IT WONT WORK *****
Those links are "mini" connectors, not to be confused with "micro"

O I see so there aren't any on amazon that I haven't found

Aren't all those type C? I thought the Evo 4G used a Type D connector.

yes, as mentioned above, those are Type C, or Mini-HDMI.
Evo needs Type D, or Micro-HDMI.
If you look around, you can find Type D for around $8~, I know because I ordered one already.

I believe this is what you will want:

Ordered! Shipping is expensive though and what is a Energy Surcharge. Anyway it's done.

at the above link the cost is $12.20 after shipping. Good quality cable also. Obviously remove the spaces and change the "dot" to "." from the link as I cant yet post url's

I paid $16 in total for mines. I ended up ordering one because I will just share it with my GF and it'll stay at home anyway. I have to buy a mounting dock for the car and a good car charger.

seen that site, but not sure if it's shipped from US. Got a feeling it's form Hong Kong or something..
Typically ships in 4 to 7 days* (7 to 10 during new year season) Worldwide Free Shipping on Everything Worldwide Free Shipping

i think i will wait till monoprice gets this cable in i can't bring my self to pay no more than 10 bucks for a cable that site has spoiled me rotten

I love monoprice but I plan to load my Evo with movies and shows so I had to jump on it. I'm going to put all the seasons of Family Guy on it.

If anyone finds something like this post it here or PM me, I'm not wasting money on a cable I'll have to reach the back of my TV every time to plug in. Nor will I spend a lot for an HDMI hub. I might buy one cable to throw in my car for on the go but thats about it.

HDMI Type D male to Type A Female

No it does what I need, I just unhook my hdmi cable from my xbox or zune hd dock and put the adaptor in, and the other end of the adaptor in my phone. It's that simple.

[Q] eBay OTG cable not working.

I bought one of these: HERE
It doesn't work, so I'm wondering if any one has experience with this cable, it says it's an OTG but I get no power from it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I tried to plug in several things like my PS3 controller and a HDD but nothing.
I'm wondering if the pin that is supposed to be shorted to ground is on the mini end and not the micro end like we want it to be.
Otherwise I wonder if I I can modify it work rather than send it back?

I lol'd at these two getting owned
But anyway I built my own usingthis and a usb extension. Followed this instructions. So my guess is that the cable you have doesn't have the 5th pin (brown wire) grounded. I butchered a regular micro usb cable just to find out it didn't have the brown wire at all.
Hope this helps!

This is my guess also, but the eBay guy as you can see clearly sells it as an OTG cable. I have been in touch and he says his supplier says it's an OTG but he doesn't have the technical expertise to understand, let alone advise.
I guess the solution is as you say, I went to the workshop, and even tried the local electronics store and it seems you can't buy the micro-usb plug as an individual component so butchering other stuff seems to be the solution.
As for the tutorial, thanks, but I shouldn't need it, otherwise I should probably send back the certificate for my degree in Electronic Engineering that's on my wall, cause I really wouldn't have earned it

Yeh, It does look nice and neat, that's why I ordered that one, if I get the time I'll make some myself and just give them out to people I like on XDA. Just need to find the micro plug, mini plug is easy to get hold of.

Well, the iGo is no good, because they probably don't have the data lines connected, as it's for charging.
The one in your next post on eBay won't fit if it's an CA-157 substitute, I got hte real Nokia CA-157 and the connector is squared off at the end, picture: HERE
however, I did get a file to the end of my CA-157 and filed it to fit, and YES it works (taking a picture now)..... attached.

The cable you linked to on ebay is just a micro usb to a mini usb, an OTG cable is a Micro male to USB female.
4 bucks free shipping: Ebay

Spend 4 more dollars and get one with a cool blinky LED in it:

This ist a very good information and now I have the same cable as you working perfectly for me! In the first place I ordered the cable in the believe it would fit anyways but after receiving it yesterday I had to face the fact that there is an A and B standard of the micro usb plug. Your tip has saved me money, thanks for that!

No problem. I have this and the cable from my OP now working too. I opened it up and found the ID pin was not connected so I soldered it to ground and that works now. SO I have a direct cable for my HDD and a female USB (the filed Ca-157) for other stuff.

there is one that will work: the OEM one, and then the others are a crapshoot.
spend the bucks, or take your chances.

anything that is compatible with anything OTHER than the s3, is not compatible with the s3... without an adapter.

I bought the official samsung 5-to-11 pin adapter, and wish I didn't: IT'S TOO FAT to fit most cases. Just a FYI.

Sure. Then it looks like crap. (and there's no telling how far you can cut into the mhl adapter; they would've made it thinner if they could've)

Buy the real deal, unless you have an old MHL cable then I would just buy the 5-11 adapter.

The adapter
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15087773755...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The problem is that the adapter is too large to connect it with a case. It's a pain to remove the case every time i connect it to the TV. They made the adapter very large (it's the original adapter from samsung tough).
I'm thinking to cut the case and someane in this post said that it's possible to cut a little of the adapter. Anyone as experience with it?

Was it just a piece of double sided tape and a cap from a water bottle (dasani, evian, etc..)? Cause that's what I used.

Looks Awesome. But I would be afraid the charging pins would not line up.

Theres some discussions about the shield tv power connector in these two threads that might hold some information that might help you in your search
But if im not mistaken, i think the power connector on the back of the shield is a micro usb, the same type that are used in many phones, so if you have a phone charger, you MIGHT, i stress might be able to power it up using this method, but i would double check this first, read up on it, disconnect the plug and test to see if the phone charger even fits first, assuming you have one........if they are indeed compatible, might want to check what amps/power supply the shield needs (think its mentioned on one of the threads up there) and try to get that one, maybe avoid future issues
