Micro USB to HDMI (new link) - HTC Wildfire S

Hi,
Is this item will work with our phones?
Link changed:
http://www.macrozon.com/products/113-micro-usb-b-male-to-hdmi-adapter-mhl-adapter.aspx

That's from a Mac to a TV

Yep. As far as I can see, this is a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI cable. This will NOT work on your phone. The cable simply won't fit in your device.

Wrong link
Sorry wrong link i copied ,this one i'm talking about.
http://www.macrozon.com/products/113-micro-usb-b-male-to-hdmi-adapter-mhl-adapter.aspx

A quick Google and YouTube search showed me that there are more people who use such a device and that you can indeed use it to connect your phone (HTC WildFire S) to a TV. So it should work. But before you buy it, make sure to check if your TV has an HDMI jack and make sure you have an HDMI to HDMI cable, else you should buy one.

As they say in the thread, the Desire S does not have the right port for that... Sorry, but you can't!

Hehe man i already know its not working for desire s.
I am asking for wildfire s

I checked out the ends from the pics and they are indeed micro usb. So theoretically it will work. But in practice... You'll probably have to be the guinea pig to try it. But if you succeed, it may just make you a legend 'round here.

In my opinion you might need to code a it in a rom so that it recognises and gives you something "out" on the TV

BUMP. Rom makers!

A quick call to the HTC Helpdesk taught me that the usage of (MHL) MicroUSB to HDMI cable is only possible on the HTC Sensation or the HTC EVO 3D. Sorry, but it's not for the HTC Wildfire S...

I'm sure they are talking about there own MHL cables. Which they product for few htc devies. ( like this one http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=209996 )
They didnt make cable for wildfire s its why they are telling only for few device.
What about RCA cable, did you ask them? ( actually they are not making RCA cable so answer will be no again (RCA cable is for IPOD anyway ,but working with android devices))

I don't think it'll work. I asked them about the MHL functionality of the MicroUSB port of the HTC Wildfire S and the guy said that it can't be done. Sure, you can try, but I don't think it's possible... It would most likely be a waste of money. But then again, if you feel like you have too much money, go for it.
EDIT: If you do go for it, I cannot take responsibility when it doesn't work or when it damages your phone, bank account balance or whatever. It will be YOUR responsibility..

I does the wfs have DLNA? If so HTC media link adapter, if not well its usb to hdmi. Before you get a cable make sure your tv has a hdmi port

I really have no idea what you're trying to say, but ehhm, the guy I spoke to at the HTC Helpdesk told me it is possible to link your phone to your TV with DLNA, if you have the proper equipment for it (he said you could then share your phone's screen via WiFi).

I know DLNA thing. my tv have dlna. but i want to play game or use apps /web browser on my tv (+bluetooth keyboard etc)( LIVE STREAM). I searched on google and saw wildfire s using 5 pins micro usb and this cable is 5 pins to 19 pins . I think im going to order a cheap cable from ebay.
But still maybe i will need tv out app (few android devices have settings for tv out) so rom makers please go for it
BTW i loled .

You can try, but I doubt it'll succeed. Once you did try, tell us if you succeeded or not. At least that'll give us some definitive answer.

Htc Desire Tv Output, isit possible?

Hi there,
im very new to this forum so i apoligise if i sound about naive with my question.
What it is was very set on buying a Desire for my upgrade on orange but was very put off by the fact there is no tv output capability. This is something i really want and i was wondering is there any roms or tricks i could apply to a htc desire to allow it to connect to a tv. As i really want a phone that will allow me to play movies that iv downloaded on my tv set.
if not then im going to have to get the samsung galaxy s.
any help with this problem would be great :-D
your post is a little confusing, you said you want a phone you can connect to the tv to play movies downloaded on your tv? you mean movies you have downloaded you would like to play on your phone and output to TV?
This is not possible on the desire there is no tv out.
lol sorry thats what i meant.
yes i would like to connect phone to tv so i can broswe internet and play movies on a bigger screen.
so does that mean i will defonatly need to get the samsung galaxy s :-(
shame i really liked the sense ui interface!

most lcds and plasmas come with a usb . so can easily view videos and photos .
like myself on bravia 40ex500
As seen here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dude-with-an-oscilloscope/, someone uses his N1 as an USB-host.
With the DisplayLink USB-to-DVI adapter it is possible to connect your phone to the monitor, although I don't think it will support a high bandwidth (for movies).
if you pick away at the plastic on the right side of the phone there is a hdmi port under there
Yes my TV has USB too and it can be viewed if you attach as usb storage but that is not what the original question is asking. They are asking for TV output as i am sure your TV cannot play xvid or other codec files on the fly via mounted usb.
are you joking right??

Don't know about your tv, but my samsung 40b630 could decode xvid and mkv on the fly from a usb storage device.
Not many tvs have usb input, but loads of devices that are plugged into your tv do.
For example, my ps3, xbox, and freeview box all have usb input and are capable of playing divx from usb mass storage.

It was supposed to be sarcastic lol!
Still would be a cool but pointless feature if it existed!
HTC's Windows phones, at least most of them, have the ability to output video using the 3.5mm -> TV-Out adapter. The Incredible uses the same CPU as the Desire and can output using the USB port. My guess would be that the Desire maybe has the hardware support, but most likely not software (missing option in settings for one). Obviously, this is a big maybe.
I wouldn't incline towards the "Because it's not on the website it doesn't have it". Looking at the specifics of the Snapdragon chip would definitely help, as if the feature exists it should be there, and I doubt that the hardware would specifically be removed from the chip because HTC 'requested' it. It would be too expensive I imagine (or maybe I'm wrong). Could be that it might not be wired into USB/3.5mm on the phone's board, who knows... (For example they never noted that we have 802.11n, but seems like we do. Among other devices that could be used as other examples.)
End point; someone with the relevant knowledge and skills would need to have a good poke around the device...
@mercianary In that photo, it showsta that device dont have HTC Sense. So its some else phone like Droid X

[Q] Micro USB to HDMI does it work on XPlay

I have updated to 2.3.4 and i was in the service menu (press *#*#7378423#*#* ) and it has an option to turn on/off HDMI and also it gives a few setting to mess around with.
So my question is has anybody tried this? or if you have a Micro USB to HDMI cable hanging around can you try it and see if it works.

there is a HDMI port just below the left touchpad, but they concealed it and marketed it as no-HDMI device to avoid further competition with the Arc.. only expo PLAYs have the HDMI port.. besides, if you added HDMI to the Play, it would be the all-around phone overshadowing the arc, which i suppose, is marketing strategy at its best..

In which sense is asking for proof being a prick? You need not to tear up your Play yourself, you can show us someone else doing it with his own retail model.
And about why there is an HDMI menu under that code, given that the whole 2011 Xperia range comes with the same architecture, it would be fully unsurprising to find that menu in Xperia Ray, mini, Mango (mini pro), and Active, which are the phones without HDMI capability.
So Sony Ericsson is hiding HDMI and an FM Radio from us? I have seen the FM Radio app and tried to install it, but it failed.

The FM-Radio app won't ever work as it's disabled at hardware level, though it supports it. You'll need some dev to enable it, prob in a kernel, but don't think it's high on the to do dev/modding list
SE should've had the HDMI on our devices at release, but they chose not to, nothing to do about that really, though it defo would've been nice with that feature

Probably not, not sure why you'd want it to either, HD audio from a movie is going to be 1.5 - 2 GB alone, unless you use loads of compression for the picture it isn't going to fit on your SD card.

Video output options

As most people have probably already heard, the "MHL" port on the SGS3 isn't compatible with existing MHL accessories or displays (so it isn't really an MHL port then is it). See this site for more on that.
Sammie has released some over-priced accessories for it, but buying those would reward and re-inforce this move (the only nasty thing the've done on an otherwise brilliant phone) and they would probably become landfill when you get your next phone. Besides, Sammie recently indicated that this port can do more, so I guess that means they will release a second round of video accessories for this phone, making the first round landfill even before you move on to your next phone.
So, if someone really needs video output for their SGS3, what are their options?
Samsung makes a wireless (Wi-Fi) streaming video dongle for the GSIII, but this too appears to be proprietary and possibly just for the GS3. It looks like there are standards coming for wireless streaming, but they aren't here yet (e.g. Miracast).
Are there other wireless video streaming devices that work with the SGS3?
Even better, though, has any other company created accessories that are compatible with the fake MHL port on the SGS3? The best would be something that worked with the SGS3 and with standards compliant MHL devices and displays (of which there are now > 100), but I don't know if that is possible.
Actually, for some users, something a bit different might work...
DLNA for example, which allows you to play content from your phone on any smart TV. It's not the same as 'video out' for your phone, but I think some poeple are just looking for a way to get media from their phone to their display. And DLNA is very widely supported standard now.
Also, these are low cost Android 4 devices in the form of an HDMI dongle - you plug them directly into your TV:
Infinitec Pocket TV
The Kogan Smart TV HDMI dongle
:meh: For $10 you can get the adapter from Samsung to use the old MHL adapters. The new adapter allows USB OTG, if I understand correctly, that is added functionality over what the old MHL offered. I don't think they changed just to make users buy new MHL adapters.

First problem is that would mean you need an adapter for an adapter, which is a cumbersome solution.
More importantly, I believe that what you are saying is not true: I have reviewed the info from Samsung so far and it appears to me that the new adapter adapter does not support any of the additional capabilities (USB org) that Samsung has recently suggested that the 11pin port is capable of.
That means that there will be new accessories soon to enable that capability, so you will have 3 accessories for that one port, just to do one thing.

Apparently that is an implementation of the Wi-Fi alliances Miracast standard, which sounds great, but for now (i.e. until Android ships with it) it requires root access.
I have bought a few products and have been successful at hooking my note 2 up to a tv with excellent results. I want to also hook up usb hub. I have had SO much bad luck even trying to find out a solution. It seems something is wrong here... oh I see now since I read all of galaxymhl.com. If there was any chance of me paying for the Samsung dock its NOT going to happen now. Dont ever mess with a standard!

MHL cable not working

I have a T-Mobile HTC one m8 and just bought a cheap Westinghouse TV. I'm trying to hook my phone up so I can watch videos and live tv on my tv from my phone. I just bought a MHL cable from radio shack for like 40$ and when I hook it up nothing happens. It doesn't even seem to recognize my phone. I switched the tv source to hdmi where it's plugged in and it says no source. I don't have WiFi where I'm at so this is the only way I can connect. I don't understand why it's not working. Is there a certain setting on my phone I should change or did I not buy the right cable? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks

Not all cables work with all devices. The best for the M8 are those made by HTC or LG. The adapter needs to be the standard 5 pin configuration. If you got one made for, let's say Samsung, it would have a non-standard 11 pin setup.
I've never used them myself, so I don't know about any settings for them, but you may have to mount it in setting > storage
The one I got was from Radio shack and it wasn't cheap it cost me 40$. I just looked in storage and I didn't see anything for mounting as far as connections go. But I should be able to do what I asked right? Just mirror the screen on my tv via micro usb to hdmi

It doesn't matter how much it costs if it isn't meant for your phone. What brand and model? Does it have a standard 5 pin configuration? Also, what version of MHL does it use? I believe the M8 is v1.0.
I have a tmobile HTC m8. Damm I didn't know there were different types. I just thought there was a standard. I'm not sure how many pins it has. It doesn't say it anywhere in the instructions. I'm not sure which cable to buy that would work

I'd take it back and search online for one that is confirmed to work with the M8. You can almost certainly find one that costs less as well.
