I just want to see if it would be possible to use the HDMI cable so you can see the internet bowser on the TV. Messages, pics, or NES and SNES would be nice to. I just spent 30 bucks for this cable and the only thing I can do with it is watch my videos I made or watch youtube. Does anyone have any Ideas to maybe make this work?

Yes, cyanogen is supposed to try and put it in his rom, hopefully he can. Question too, did everyone buy their cord online? I can't seem to find it in any store.
I went to a sprint store to buy my HDMI cable. I guess it wasnt a good idea since I could of saved 20 bucks by buying it online
I got mine at sprint too but oh well lol

That's the wrong cable. You need a type D/Micro HDMI.

That is a mini, not micro HDMI cable.
get your hdmi cables from www.monoprice.com, by far the cheapest place you'll find on the net and they're in the USA.

monoprice doesn't have micro-HDMI yet. They have MINI, but not MICRO.
Also, haha... bowser.
Ok just in case anybody cares, got one of these on order from Overstock. Decent deal I'd say, 6.72 including shipping.

There's nothing to correct. The evo uses a micro (type d) connector. The cable on overstock is a mini (type c).

If you already bought a mini cable, why not get a mini-to-micro adapter?
Nevermind...that was a usb adapter. Why can't I delete my own posts? wtf.
Add the w w w .monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=6973[/url] $4 and change. In stock now
I found out that the Sprint store has the hdmi cord for the video out feature on the evo!!

Lots of places online sell them for a lot cheaper than Sprint. I know ebay has them for very cheap. I bought a 10 foot HDMI-microHDMI cable on ebay for less than $15....

It wasn't available for like..a month.
Monoprice has the best prices on them.
Sprint price for their relabeled Chinese crap: $500
MONSTER Cable: $250
Sprint cable, from eBay and without the Sprint/HTC label: $15
Better cable from eBay: $10
Have fun wasting your money.
(In case you can't tell, yes, this is an exageration, but the point remains the same.)

my monoprice cable has a flaky connection which causes my video output to be intermittent. I'm not sure if its the cable or my 2 week old evo.. please let me know if you get one from monoprice.

i had the same problem with my monoprice cable. Went to their site and did an rma, they send me a new one for free and told me to keep the old one. the new one works much better. With a connector that small, if its off my a few micrometers it could make it loose.

Thanks... i just submitted an RMA. I tried the cable on another EVO and had the same issue, so I'm pretty sure it's the cable...
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.

Anyone know where I can find the OEM usb cable that comes with our phones? I can find various OEM Samsung cables but not the ones that are exactly the same as ours...
OEM cable is ****
i dont mean to be a d***k bout your post but was it really that usefull? regardless if its **** or not, thats what im looking for and im asking where i can find it because ive looked through ebay, amazon etc and no go...
Hard to say where you can find that OEM cable. Have you tired Samsung Cellular Accessories on their home page?

lol yea it is a robbery... but ive seen that one cheaper at ebay, im looking for the one that comes with the phone... you know, the one that has a squared box around the micro and has a white "usb" icon.... my dog chewed mine so id just like to replace it and keep an original
Good luck with that cable my friend. I don't think you'll ever be able to get one unless you've got a friend in a cell store that will do a B & E for ya on a new box. BTW, if you ever do find one, never use it to ROOT or transfer data. I use it strickly as a charging cable.
Sorry!
lol theres gotta be an online store where i can buy it, i mean i know i can buy any other usb cable but i want one like the one that it came with... and why do you say that? thats the cable i used to do everything to my phone!
Read the forum about rooting your phone, almost everyone who knows anything about rooting will advise you not to use the stock Samsung cable.
Do as you please, its your phone my friend. Just saying.....
It seems a little thin, but I've used the OEM Samsung cable that came with the phone to flash many hundreds of times during testing of ODIN tar packages and Auto Root features. Never had an issue.
I get the picture my friend, you've been lucky from what I have heard but if its not broken, don't fix it. Good Luck in your search and give the dog some food, maybe he won't eat your phone next. jking........

Well if you give up monoprice.com might be a good place to not get robbed for a cable. I mean paying 5 bucks for Amazon's much longer, much stronger cable is a rip as well but thats the main one I use I also use the OEM one I just cant find it half the time.
