I think you need more than a cable. You are having to convert from digital to analog. I use this http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Compon...XVBC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1317658374&sr=8-2 and have been able to connect my Acer Iconia W500 and my Archos 70 to my computer monitor through a KVM switch using this converter. There are some cheaper ones out there, but I know this one works (using it right now, in fact).

There are some unknowns in there: I don't know if the Flyer supports HDCP over HDMI. If that's the case, protected content probably won't play over the VGA adapter.
The bigger question is: does your projector have a DVI connector? If it does, you're best off using an HDMI-DVI cable.

Most of the projector in my meeting room never have DVI port It always have only vga(It be like this every meeting room in Thailand)

It sounds like it ought to work, but you really can't know until you try it. Assuming the adapters work individually, I don't see a reason this can't work. The only thing I'd be concerned about is trying to play copy-protected videos, but if you're just using it for PowerPoint type of stuff, I'm guessing this will work... but you really won't know until you try it.
I know that's not very helpful, but it sounds like not a lot of people are doing what you want to do.
If you do get that adapter, please let us know what happens. If nothing else, someone may be searching for an htc flyer vga adapter and stumble across this post. Letting the world know how this solution works will be a nice gift to the future.

I can't post outside link now you can found this cable by search
Hdmi male to vga female
I think it may take around 2 week for shipping. I will review it as soon as possible after I get it.

Are there any good news from your experimentation, Hellogop?

The Flyer outputs digital HDMI only (as most devices do) so you must use a adapter that converts from digital to analog VGA. For example looking on ebay...
This cable @ $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-hdmi-m...264?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b609b180
will not work.
However this adapter @$28 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HDMI-Ma...ultDomain_0&hash=item1e66dc4db9#ht_2223wt_952
Probably will, but I caveat this because I have not personally tried this adapter.
You could also use this single adapter @~ $35 to go from the micro USB on the Flyer to a VGA port, http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapter-Galaxy-Tablet-Sensation/dp/B005K9XEP4
Note that some of these conversions to analog will only work at 480P resolution SD TV not at HD 720P.

Yeahhh Hope This picture can tell all ^ ^
So this 2 cable can work that the good news.
But actually the Singature is not 100% clear but i think it OK to use for your presentation.
When you connect the HTC cable your Flyer's speaker will not work so you need to use other speaker to connect with aux port on the HTC cable.
If you have any question please ask. Now I happy with the result http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

TV-Out via 3,5mm?

to his HTC Touch Pro 2
and this Iphone cable in the 3,5mm of the 4in1
He then started an application on his phone and he had video output.
Are these the right cables and where can I find this cab?
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=7112
Thanks! Very fast response! So will this work with the touch pro 2 too or should I get the normal tv out cable?
yeh。I can help you 。and
http://www.htc.com/tw/ or http://www.htc.com/tw/product/accessory/cable_ac-t110.html
there are two webs that i can give you
I dont think the iPhone cable will work because HTC extUSB has double sided terminal for differ function. And the 3.5mm jack maybe is for audio-in for external sound system.
(Here is unboxed, as free gift + canon selphy CP760 + 4gb class6 mSD when i bought this device -kind of promotion )

No need to brake off the 4th pin
So after about an hour of searching, I came to the conclusion that the only way possible at the moment, unless I missed something, was to buy a video out cable or the whole removing the 4th pin from the mini-usb scenario which I was not ready to do. So after reading many... many post I figured , if the only thing stopping me from using a 3.5mm video out cable is fact that the 4th pin is making contact than why can't I just put something in there to stop it from making contact instead of removing it. Long story short I stuck a piece of duck tape on top of the 4th pin and vuale it worked!!!!! I included some pictures .

I cut the blue wire and it worked on my TP2 also. This trick should be stickied in the Rhodium section/.
I bought the OEM tv out cable from ebay for around $16, shipping included.
non-OEM ones are even cheaper, but I did not want to plug in a non-oem one and risk shorting the pins. Normally I don't care about these kind of stuff and buy the aftermarket one but somehow this time I didn't have the courage

Bad Micro HDMI Out Port?

So I bought myself a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and was excited to use it with my Prime. But at first nothing showed up on my TV! I then tried moving the cable around in the micro HDMI port and the cable can move around pretty much when it's plugged in! Mainly up and down, and only if the cable is at a certain angle a signal is made.
Is the cable supposed to move up and down freely? If I plug my full sized HDMI into my laptop, it's not moving in any direction (except out of course )! I kind of expected the micro HDMI to do the same thing.
When the micro HDMI cable is placed at the right angle, my Prime notifies me that an HDMI cable has connected and the image goes through to the TV. If the cable is at the wrong angle both the notification and image goes away.
Is my Prime strange or is this normal?
I have exact same looking cable(hama) and its sits very tight in hdmi port
on my prime,no movement at all.
Try to use some other cables
depends on the brand cable you use. some are tighter fitting than others. I used the one that came with my atrix phone. not the tightest fix but works until I find another one.
I have the same adapter and I noticed some up/down wiggle as well. However, even though there is a little bit of wiggle, my HDMI connection always stays connected.
I actually just received the adapter in the mail this weekend and when I first plugged it in to my TV I didn't see any thing at all. So I was thinking, "is there something I need to enable on the Prime to tell it to send video to HDMI out?". After a little dinking around I discovered my TV was on the wrong HDMI input. After switching to the right one, all was good.
I am using Accel micro hdmi to hdmi bought from Frys. It is working fine without any issue. It fits perfectly.

yes but its like with memory cards n other things. some might be slightly longer or thicker than others, etc...there are variances within the standard.
So it could be me being paranoid, but I just returned my TFP because my HDMI out port wasn't working. I've heard of other people with TFPs having bad HDMI ports as well. Now it could be just a coincidence but I wonder if the HDMI port is not as sturdy as it should be. You might want to return your TFP if your still in the window. If not try the cable on another device or try a different cable.

I have never heard that the size of data/display ports can 'vary'. Even the smallest amount of size variance can make a cable (especially small ones like micro HDMI) not fit properly which is why there is a standard that is followed when manufacturing these things.
My guess is that the 'wiggle' that the OP is referring to (and the wiggle that I notice with my adapter) is most likely due to the female micro HDMI port on the tablet not being solidly attached to the main board. The female port may also be bent on the inside, causing a bad connection. I highly doubt that the 'wiggle' is occurring because of the male micro HDMI port being too small or something. I suppose one thing that would prove my theory wrong would be to buy a different adapter and try it, but my guess is you are going to have the same result.
My HDMI worked for a while until one day when video wasn't displaying on my TV with the HDMI chord in. So I unplugged it and my TFP froze. From then on, I haven't been able to get get my TFP to see the HDMI cable when it's plugged in. Basically I think the hdmi port might have died. Tried on several TV's and still no dice. I might eventually try another HDMI cable, we'll see. I'm not in a hurry.

MHL to HDMI adapter

I haven't seen anyone post about the MHL capabilities of the DNA yet so I figured I'd try my adapter from my Nexus... it works fine with the cheap 5 to 10 dollar ones you can buy on amazon... you just need to be sure that you power the adapter it wont work without external power

I also have a mhl adapter from pny but I did not connect power to the adapter and the external display worked. Was your display on the phone and tv laggy or smooth after you connected the adapter? Were your videos in sync with the image produced on the phone itself?
MHL adapter kit
The MHL adapter for HTC DNA from iBOLT features a 2 meter (6ft) extension cable so you can stand in front of the TV and play Angry Bird, racing or whatever other games you prefer. With licensed MHL technology it is a real 30 frames per second so there's no delay and the sound quality is great when playing even advanced games. My kids love MHL, they only want to watch Netflix kids programs now without painful commercial interruptions.
The only thing to be aware of with Android MHL is that some sites block the HDMI port out. Two examples are Hulu+ and HBO (they don't block it from iOS). Most others, like Netflix and almost all web streaming sites works perfect. Google Play has an amazing picture quality on the newer videos when you rent them, absolutely clear 1080p resolution if you have enough WiFi bandwidth. The best use of MHL is to show photos and videos though on the big screen TV. The quality with good adapter is near perfect and the phone is charging while you are doing it too.
The "cyber Monday" price for an iBOLT complete MHL adapter kit with 6ft HDMI cable and the required 1 amp microUSB wall charger is only $24.95. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll check back daily here. Here's a YouTube video showing the technology and the kit I was referring to. The Samsung OEM has a very good reputation if you don't like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmaKIJ90Xz4&feature=plcp
The image and everything was in sync... Sounds were good I watched a little but of transformers... The picture looked like crap but that is because it's compressed over Google play... You tube looked great

I bought one and it works well, but the framerate seems a little slower. It is usable, but certain apps seem to not allow being shown via the HDMI such as NFL Mobile and Hulu Plus.
The Samsung adapter for GSIII works on the DNA.
I have experienced issues with hardware accelerated subtitles using the MHL cable. Viki shows video but no words and that is kind of useless for me. Fortunately downloaded subtitles play in MXplayer with the software subtitle option.

I think I know the answer to this question but I will ask anyway...lol
Is there any MHL to HDMI adapter cables that do NOT need an external power source for the adapter? Seems kinda crappy to have to plug power into the adapter,
If so, a link to one would be greatly appreciated
Just put my order in to upgrade from my Thunderbolt to the DNA. Figure I will want to get a wireless charging pad, the MHL to HDMI adapter, and a micro USB to USB to mount external storgae.
As an aside...I cannot believe no company has actually created a micro USB to Micro SD adpater cable! I saw some links to threads here where people actually built their own...pretty cool...but hard to believe no company has stepped up for this. With the form factor fo phones moving more towards the DNA, One X, etc, I would think those would sell like hotckaes!
While browsing this thread I came to wonder about the DNA's mirroring. So when the right cable is connected, mirroring becomes available? Makes me wonder if a cable exists that might be micros USB on one side and (don't laugh) RCA on the other. My car's head unit had an add-on that allows RCA video inputs to display on the nav screen. It worked back when I used an iPad occassionally.

[Q] HTC One (M8) mhl connection

Has anyone gotten their M8 to connect to a TV or monitor using a mhl adapter or cable? Ive tried two so far and have gotten little success. If so what are you using? do i need to find a certain brand of cable or adapter to mirror my One M8 on my TV screen?
the two I used were an auvio mhl adapter which i got to work mabey 10% of the time with a ton of unplugging and reconecting cables, I returned that one for a radioshack mhl to hdmi cable which i couldnt get to mirror at all but when plugged into the phone it allowed the phone to go into landscape but no video

I've had decent luck with the 'Rocketfish' MHL adapters that are available at BestBuy. I'll have it work fine for a while and then all of a sudden I'll loose video but keep audio. I've since ordered a MHL adapter of Monoprice that had good reviews. I'll update if I get anywhere.

Samsung S3 uses a 12 pin connection (I also bought it) and that's not the one, from looking at the photo. Are you sure that's not the adapter from the S2 or something?
I still haven't found any info regarding if the HTC One m8 uses mhl 2.0 or 1.0
Any news regarding this matter?

it might be an S2, that is why I post a pic with the model number so people can search by it.
If you have an AV receiver that supports MHL, the best thing to use is a passive MHL cable. Fortunately my Onkyo TX-NR5010 supports MHL & it works perfectly using this Pipeline passive MHL cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZ2KL76/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have never lost video or audio with it. *Please Note: If you do NOT have a receiver or a TV that supports MHL natively, then this will not work for you. It is a PASSIVE cable that transmits the raw MHL signal to the receiver or TV for native processing/decoding. If you DO have a TV or receiver that supports MHL though, then this is the way to go. Those little adapters will never match the reliability & quality of native decoding via an AVR or high-end TV.
I am also having trouble getting mhl adapter to work with my HTC One_M8. Tried two different ones already. The mhl symbol appears on the phone but no image on the TV. Anyone has any tips? I'm getting desperate
Thanks
MHL Works on HTC One (M8)
I bought 2 cheap cords on Amazon which took about 2 weeks to get to me because they came from China. In the beginning the order I plugged in the cords mattered. However, now I just plug them in, in any order and they work just fine. I am sorry you paid top dollar at radio shack for the cord. I almost did too. Here is a link to the one I bought. I was thinking about buying a few more to give to friends. I paid $3.78 with shipping each. Now they are even cheaper. They only utilize MHL 1.0 technology and our phone has 3.0 technology. Here is the link to the one I am currently using on a daily basis to watch movies I have downloaded in HD on my TV from my phone.
New user, so it won't let me post the link but add (amazon dot com forward slash) to the following : eForCity®-Compatible-Micro-HDMI-Adapter/dp/B00827EGG2/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_qp_10_0FRY?ie=UTF8&refRID=05W5ENJ6B2ZNZ2A6AR2Y
This is exactly the same one I found knocking around my house. Same serial number and everything it didn't work at first but after a few tries different hdmi ports and a cleaning of the ports got the adapter working. Took a bit of time to get connected but stuck with it and now I can view my phone on my TV to the post above showing the Samsung adapter

Our phone dosent use mhl 3.0. It uses 1.0
And I quit trying to make it work, after 4 different adapters, 2 HDMI cables and 2 TVs I just gave up
A Generic MHL HDMI adapter will work.

Samsung S3 uses a 12 pin connection (I also bought it) and that's not the one, from looking at the photo. Are you sure that's not the adapter from the S2 or something?
I still haven't found any info regarding if the HTC One m8 uses mhl 2.0 or 1.0
Any news regarding this matter?

I've been using a general MHL adapter that came with the 5 to11 pin Galaxy add-on (which I don't use of course for my HTC). This has worked flawlessly for me no problem for years now. Make sure you have a good power source, the only problems I have had is my phone will say "slow charging", and the Media Device output will not work. Mine is pretty old, over a year & a half I've been using it, so I'm looking for a new one. They have one with a remote which is what led me to the review on here (a diff thread). However, they have the same one I have on Amazon or Walmart for a few bucks, you shouldn't have a problem. I'll add the links below...

Also, I'm on this thread beaise I plan to unlock & root my phone and am concerned that once I do that an adapter will no longer work Any suggestions or experience with this would be appreciated? Thx:fingers-crossed:
M8 mhl cable
I have the m8. I bought a Skiva mhl cable from Amazon. I believe it's hd-x2 cable. Works flawlessly only problem ive encountered is it will not play in 5.1 surround. It only transmits a 2.0 audio feed. Which I don't understand. If I use like all cast to cast the stream to my Xbox it transmits in 5.1. So if anyone knows how to get the cable to do 5.1 let me know.

Can someone try a USB-C to HDMI adapter with Motorola One Zoom ?

Hello, can someone try a USB-C to HDMI adapter with Motorola One Zoom please ?
It should work because its USB-C port is a USB 3.1 like Motorola Z4 (which has HDMI out over USB-C confirmed) and they nearly have same specs but still no proof for One Zoom

Yes!
Hello, I am happy to report that the Motorola One Zoom indeed has HDMI out over USB-C, just tried to connect it via USB-C to a portable projector (Viewsonic M1) and it works! :good:

Thank you @PrimosuTech it's very helpful ! I didn't know there were projectors with USB-C video input, so you used a USB-C to USB-C cable ?
But again, thank you PrimosuTech ! :good:

You're welcome booldega! Yes, I used an USB-C to USB-C cable for it, the Viewsonic M1 is a pretty cool portable projector I must say...
Anyway to clear you out any doubts today I have also tried an actual USB-C to HDMI cable to connect the Motorola One Zoom to a Monitor and again it worked perfectly so 100% there is HDMI over USB for our phone, yay!
Ciao from Italy!
I tried usb-c to hdmi (via Microsoft dongle) did not work.
I used a Dell docking station with USB C, it is made for laptops, but it worked without any problem. It outputs video to both plugged monitors at the same time, as well as sound. I don't know if you can use double monitors for anything else than mirroring in Android, or if in makes sense otherwise. Usb mouse and keyboard work, as well as fast charging.
But it works.
does it has a desktop mode like dex?emui?
Today I've tested usb-c connection to monitor.
Android 10 works very well. It's possible to split apps, basically do everything - screen will be mirrored to a monitor.
If they're speakers built-in in, you'll also hear sound from monitor. Watching videos from camera becomes even easier.

No it doesn't. It's just a screen mirroring, not a screen extension or a particular mode.
I tried a micro USB to HDMI (with a usb C adaptor) and didn't work
I just tested USB-C to HDMI hub and it works. To be exact its ABASK adapter. Also charging while child USBs are connected is working, so this makes a nice work station. I'm surprised why Lenovo isn't adverising this feature.
I wonder what are the requirements for the cable to make it work.
I hesitate to buy Motorola One Zoom, because official Motorola support told me by e-mail, that none of Motorola smartphones have HDMI-out compatibility. That seems odd, as it's not the only model that users confirmed to make it work. HDMI-out is the only requirement for a new smartphone for me.
Did you use standard USB-C>HDMI cable or some adapter / docking station that has female HDMI on the way?
Is there a list of smartphones with HDMI-out feature somewhere on XDA forums?
Sorry for double-post, but I wanted to update this thread with my experiences.
I finally bought Motorola Zoom and it works with HDMI-out. I used multi-port solution from Natec (has female HDMI and male USB-C).
I had some problems with disappearing screen on the monitor, that is connection was sometimes broken and then came back, again and again. After many tries of trial-and-error I found out that the source of my problem is LTE Internet. Everytime my phone started to use LTE, it disconnected active HDMI link. Switching Internet to 3G (or using airplane mode) solves the problem permanently.
I wanted to share it, if anyone happens to have the same issue in the future.
