[IDEA]Inernet bowser with the HDMI cable - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Good online reputable/cheap store for accessories?

So I went to my a local electronic store (that shall remain nameless) and wanted to get a few accessories. When I asked for a USB mini to micro adapter and they wanted $14 for it (should be around $5). I decided I need good place to get a all those little cell phone accessories online. Anyone know of any good ones? Looking for things like a hard case for it (body glove or other), the usb adapter mentioned above, retractable cable, 16 gig micro usb, things like that. I want to be able to get them all in one place. I could use some sound advice... going a simple google search gives me some sketchy places, and newegg does not carry it all.
Thanks
www.cellularfactory.com
Don't know if they are good, but going to give them a shot
I always use eBay for most of my accessories, they're usually the cheapest.
My friend works for www.wirelessemporium.com But they still have a very limited selection of accessories for the EVO.
For misc. cables and stuff, I always use www.monoprice.com
Seconded for Monoprice. If you don't mind waiting, you can find some stuff on dealextreme.com
Another vote for monoprice on any cables. I picked up two 3' micro usb cables, two 10' micro usb cables and two mini hdmi to hdmi cables for ~$20 after shipping. They got it to me faster than expected as well.
No offense, but if you are wanting the best price on all of the accessories, you need to be a little more realistic and not expect to get them all from one place.
I tried looking for the HDMI cable that works on our phone, but I couldn't find it on monoprice...
Can anyone post a link or point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Anyone??????????????

You have got to be kidding me. I already fricken ordered the above one....
HDMI
The post about the HDMI from monoprice is wrong type. That is a MINI HDMI, the EVO's take type D MICRO Hdmi as of right now I don't see them on Monoprice
AVOID this company (Amzer) at all costs. The slimiest customer service of them all.

HDMI to MINI HDMI $6.72 but who cares we need micro .... sheesh im an idiot

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).

monoprice will have more in stock in the first couple days of september, cheapest around. I'll probably pick up a micro usb cable while I'm at it.

Monoprice rocks. Looks like they aim to have the micro HDMI -> HDMI cables in stock in just under a week. Excitement, I has it.

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.

Hdmi cord for evo

I found out that the Sprint store has the hdmi cord for the video out feature on the evo!!
sent from my HTC 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....

Was there a time they didn't have it? It's an accessory for their phone, it's always been there.

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...

Cheap hdmi cable on amazon

Hey guys since the new kernels coming out with full hdmi, I think I might finally bite the bullet and buy a cable. Anyone know of a.good cheap one on amazon? Or anyone have any suggestions for some? I know mono price normally has good cheap cables. Any help is appreciated.
I was going to suggest mono price.. they have mini hdmi to hdmi for about 3 bucks...
I also would suggest just getting the mini hdmi adaptor piece... http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=iIKDTcqmMoGqsAPepvX_AQ&ved=0CEoQ8gIwAg#

Why get the mini adapter when monoprice has the Full Size HDMI to Mini HDMI in stock?
If this is for the HTC Evo 4g, then the correct plug is Micro Hdmi and not mini.

Pick your size. Got mine 2 days later. Works great.

This is correct, I wasn't paying attention when I quoted above. Either way it's still dirt cheap at Monoprice.com and a waste of money to buy an adapter.
I just ordered mine. Hope they dont break too easily

Monoprice cables are great quality, plus they have a lifetime warranty.
do you need to get the high speed cable, or will the standard speed work ok?
my couch is 10 feet from my tv, so I need a longer cable, which only comes in standard speed..
thanks
This one works for me:

ok, so the adapter doesnt fit snug.....it works but,its wiggely. i would say go with the cable.igot one of those two.works like a champ.both with two day shipping for;$16.
Hope it works best!

15 ft away from the TV or LCD will be nice.

You don't need a new cable. Just a 5pin to 11pin adapter. Cost like 99p

you could do that way too, itll probably end up saving you $10 in the looong run. Or you can just buy the right, one cable, and not have as much hardware to connect and hiding. Not sure if that even matters for you but the wire mess can get out of control quickly.
Hit up monoprice for the 11-to-5. Theirs work just fine for cheap.

I've got the official Samsung S3 MHL adapter and the video is laggy while watching it on tv. I've tried everything from freezing every single unneeded app + putting the device in airplane mode + overclocking + doing a dance with dead goats and virgins during a full moon (make sure your blinds are closed you don't want a neighbor freaking out like mine did) and nothing helps.
Any suggestions?

That's just the way it is. Makes it a bit useless for games. Sorry about your goats, cheers for the virgins.
