I noticed there isn't a micro hdmi cable included with the phone so I found a sweet deal for a 5ft cable for those of you who will mirror your phone on your tv..

got a 15 foot for like 8 bucks off ebay... will also test and post link if its good!
Yea at that price it isn't a big deal. Sucks it didn't come with one. I hate products that brag about these features but can't work out of the box because you need X-Product and Y-Product.
Fortunately my 1080p Toshiba S60 camcorder came with one. It came with everything I needed (8gb SD, Tripod, HDMI cable, case, cloth).

I agree, I have ordered many cables & adapters from monoprice over the years. from home theater to PC. prices are always great,fast shipping and great quality.
the HDMI cables are especially great
I can third Monoprice, every cable I've gotten form them has been really high quality (gold plated and so on).
Ordered thanks.
Are there any restrictions on the HDMI out?
Ordered 3 At that price a good gift for the buddies!
Thanks

The only restriction i think is when you play a video, it will only show on the HDTV and not the device, other then that it's full mirroring. what i want to know is if the youtube player can tap into the 1080p feeds on youtube....?
Monoprice FTW
I purchased from monoprice 3 things so that i can watch w/ other people existing hdmi cables, my own hdmi cables and 2 new cables i bought,
3872 / 1.5ft 28AWG High Speed HDMI Cable w/Ferrite Cores - Black $1.84
4032 / 25ft 24AWG CL2 Standard Speed HDMI Cable - White $18.24
7703 / Micro-HDMI Male (Type D) to HDMI Female (Type A) Port Saver Adapter $3.94
I plan on using it to watch youtube and games and web surfing from my couch so i got a 25 foot one to run along the wall, and the 1.5 i can take it with me in my coat jacket, friends house / hotels / vacation to relatives, everybodys got hdmi but not an easy solution to get avi movies on the big screen..w/ my phone we do! I love it! and I watch tons of youtube so now i can have a big screen to watch it and a couch...not my computer chair....hurray! ooo and music videos on my tv again...surround sound put into use for music once again...i have an HTPC but i can't read it, and when i turn the DPI up it gets cramped...so i'm loving the HDMI out and the Port Saver will make things alot easier and make the cables cheaper so everybody get the port saver..then the cables.......okay long comment..over....
Anyone figured out a cheap and easy way to get this mini-HDMI to a D-SUB VGA? There are two places I'd like to use this feature that have projectors and no HDMI interface (though DVI is an option at one).
I have a micro HDMI cable grandfathered from XT720 (can be used with HTC EVO too) and it fits 100%, but I don't have chance to test.
Monoprice is cheaper.
10ft Micro HDMI at monoprice for $5
Spend an extra 80cents for 15ft hdmi cable.

Can't unfortunately. HDMI is digital only (unlike DVI which carries both digital and analog signals), so the only way to output to an analog connection like VGA is with a converter, which are $90 and up.

There's no cheap way to go from digital to analog.
Thanks guys, just got mine ordered from monoprice.
What HDMI cable are you using and where did you get it for your Charge?
I bought a cable from amazon. Works perfectly.

That's awesomely cheap. Ordered.
Monoprice adapter
I went and just ordered a short adapter with a cord so I can use my super long HDMI cables with it and not have to worry about an adapter putting all that stress on the port. Also it is dirt cheap.

not bad i just ordered mine.
I was when i found out the phone didn't include one.
thnks!
Monoprice is awesome! I get all my cables from them, they are top quality, cheap and shipped quickly, what more can you ask for? Monster Cable should be shot for what they charge for their stuff
Wow that is cheap, just ordered mine I can't wait for it to come

I got that one, I leave it hooked up to one my my Sony Bravia's HDMI ports (it has 4).
I can't get audio to play via HDMI for the life of me. I tried two different HDMI cables/adapters, multiple HDMI ports, reboots, etc.
Halp.
Selective HDMI sound
Is there a way to control where the HDMI sound goes to. Because sometime I have monitors i hook my phone up to and would like to be able to control the sound to come out of the speaker on the phone?
.... Swypo... Delete
This is sort of on and off topic. Anyway, to these users, what kind of things can be displayed with the HDMI cable? Can you stream things like netflix, youtube, slingplayer, ETC? I currently a TB owner, but so far I have had a lot of issues and we will leave it at that.
Using the cable I had gotten for my X2. The X2 starter kit was on sale for $20 on release week
Nevermind, found the answer.
Cheap Chinese one from eBay. Works fine, but build quality is questionable to say the least.

Wow, 80 cents??? I just ordered one, but should have ordered two or three at that price.
I just received my cable from monoprice.com today. hooked it up to the TV and everything worked great. I would suggest buying the cable from there if you are looking for one. Video and sound worked flawlessly.
Can anyone confirm that the very cheap one off Amazon in the 2nd post has working audio? If not i'll just go with Monoprice,
Thanks,
I got one from walmart belkin 6 footer for 30$ and it works great.

I've been looking around and still can't find anyone who has found or tried a USB to VGA adapter on the transformer. I've heard of the hdmi to vga but thats digital and I don't beleive that would work without an expensive converter.
Anybody tried one and verified that we actually have drivers to run this? Any other ideas?

Analog to digital has some loss, while the hdmi-vga adapter (digital-digital) from Asus is $30 USD.
It has a mini-hdmi for the TF101. You can get an adapter on ebay to micro-hdmi and use on your phone, too.
The digital adapter quality varies, but the Asus hdmi-vga works on 1280x800 so it likely supports WXGA. It might work or might not work with WUXGA 1920x1080 but I have not tested. Other hdmi-vga adapters, with 10 bit d/a converters, usually do support WUXGA, but they also do not usually have micro-hdmi plugs so you need more adapters.
Good luck.

Do you know a good place to find the adapter? I've been wanting to pick up the Asus HDMI->VGA adapter, but I can't find it anywhere. The official webstore doesn't seem to have it, nor does Amazon.
your question title looks like 'USB to vagina'
clicked it, was totally dissapointed
haha

Here is an update in my accessories thread, IN STOCK hdmi to vga adapters.
Also, Excaliber has ETA but that not reliable. I would not preorder with them again.
I bought an HDMI cable from Ebay and hook it up to my HD TV using the Droid Charge, but nothing shows... do I need any special program to make this work, or is it just my cable might be bad, i got it cheap, like $5.
It's the cable. I brought 2 and they're no good. I then paid $3 for HDMI to mini HDMI converter and used my regular HDMI cable. You don't need any special app to watch Netflix on TV. Remember, the quality will be OK only since Netflix resolution for phone is not same as netflix from computer or xbox.
I've had some luck with the cheap Chinese ones on Ebay. My first one was bad, but then the seller was nice enough to ship me a new one at no charge. The second one works just fine and I have been using it for a while now.

I did the same thing. Bought the adaptor. Works well.
Charge, stock-rooted.. XDA Premium
Like above posters I too went on the cheap side (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UH0Z9Q). The price is 2.50 for the cable. The first one didn't last to long (that's cause the toddlers were using it as a jump rope). I bought another one cause its 2 bux and that one has worked fine for the past 3 months. The ones at best buy is 30 bux!!! Ill spend 2 bux and take my chances. So far luck has been on my side.
Here is my goal: We purchased the gameklip for our phones, and I want to run emulators, and play some games with the video streaming to our mitsubishi 82" 82742 tv. (We'll also do various video mirroring to the tv, for things like ebook/ecomic reading, android based games, or other apps.)
Plans are to use the wireless version of the gameklip so the hdmi port is freed up for hdmi out/charging, so I'm looking to buy an hdmi out adapter/cable for our S3 1535 phones, but every product advert I see for them lists the 9300, not the 1535.
What are the difference between the phones, and should I be looking for something specific to the 1535? (I couldn't find any online comparisons between the verizon 1535 and the 9300.)
It looks like the hdmi adapters can be had for about $10 shipped on ebay or amazon.
We were running our old droidx phone's hdmi out to the tv before our new phones. It looks like the old droidx hdmi cable has a micro hdmi port for the phone, and the S3 adapters give you a full sized hdmi out.
I think I need the latest jellybean leak, the 9300 hdmi adapter, and a new 12' hdmi cable, or do those adapters also have a micro hdmi on them as well?
Also it sounds like to use the home theater, I'll also need to add a audio cable to plug into the home theater (or does the s3 hdmi out also pass through audio to the tv speakers? using the tv speakers would be fine.) Worse case I can use my bt stereo headset, but audio coming from the tv or home theater would be nice.
(Sorry for all the questions, but we are still on a learning curve coming from the DX.)
You want a 9305 quad core with 2gig of ram. i535 is only a dual core and the 9300 only has 1gig of ram.

I think you misunderstood my question. We already have the Verizon Galaxy S3 phones. we are looking to what we need to hook them up properly to our bigscreen tv to mirror video/audio out.
I'd Say go to Verizon buy an mhl adapter around$40 don't buy the cheap ones doesn't work well . it
allows you to mirror, games and all
Sent from my s3 using xda premium
Mhl is a service key piece that let's mhl compatible tvs to control the device remotely with the channel changer. Since most hdmi tvs don't have this (mhl) they make an adapter for basic hdmi out usage since it is different protocols.

I can confirm that the Samsung HDMI adapter that is specific for the S3 works for the I-535.
$20 on Amazon.

Thanks for the info, and relocating this to the proper location, Mod.
I also looked into wirelessly sending video/audio via the samsung allshare dongle for our tv, but it sounds like it still does not receive 1080p, and some people have all sorts of connect/frame dropout issues with that.
It sounds like the newest jellybean leaks improve the situation, but spending $80 hoping it gets resolved doesn't sound very practical to me.
I think we'll go with the mhl adapter. I checked my droidx cable, and it does have a full sized at one end, and a micro hdmi at the other end. 8(
Is monoprice still the best place for low prices on hi speed hdmi cables? I'll need a 12 footer to stretch from the couch to the phone.
I've heard good things about Monoprice, but haven't used them personally.

Holy crap are they expensive! $10.50 plus shipping for a 1 foot long cable? Are they smoking crack?
I purchased 3 6 foot long hi speed hdmi cables off ebay just a few weeks ago for less than $10 shipped.
I haven't seen any validation for premium expensive hdmi cables anywhere... every time you read reviews, unless you are running extremely long distances (20 feet or more) everyone says all hi speed rated cables are pretty much the same regardless of price.

Not sure which cables you were looking at.......

I might have looked at the wrong cables then. Thanks for that info again!
I have a feeling we'll just go with the hdmi adapter and the cable.. it sounds like the samsung allshare dongle just is not ready for prime time yet.
