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
there's a thread in accessories about this. it seems most of the accessories are only available in europe.

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.

Thanks guys, just got mine ordered from monoprice.
I was at Walmart today looking at the HDMI cables....I plan on hooking my TF up to my HDTV...and all that WM had was normal sized HD cables...
What cable do I need? Is it called "Mini-HDMI" to HDMI?
HDMI Mini to HDMI Male...
Get one from Amazon, I bought the cheapest one I could find on Amazon which was £1.90 (around $3) and it works fine...don't believe any of that BS that 'you get what you pay for'...
Thanks Bigmo!
Just to make sure...
Is this it?
http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-P570-006-mini-HDMI-Digital/dp/B000TT80DG/ref=pd_sim_e_3
OR this?
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Speed-Mini-HDMI-Ethernet-Meters/dp/B003ES5ZR8/ref=pd_cp_e_1
Both of those will work, but I suggest ordering from Monoprice over Walmart or Amazon. Here is a list of cables that will work for the TF: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10242 (the last one here won't work unless your TV supports mini HDMI, and I doubt it does).
Ethernet is nice to have but is currently not supported by (m)any devices. It's only pennies or so on monoprice, so I always pick it up for when hdmi w/ ethernet devices start coming out.
thanks very much, I appreciate the help.
Is there an HDMI output cable for the sensation to watch HTC watch on the big screen?
You need an MHL adapter which will convert your Micro USB out to HDMI. Then you can use whatever HDMI cable you want.

also, MHL adaptors are hard to find retail, best bet is to buy online...theyre cheaper and easier to get
I bought one from Expansys, here in the UK.
Got the 'unbranded' one - cheap, and works perfectly.
Just, whatever you buy, make sure it's 'MHL' - there are plenty of things out there which have the right plugs on each end - they won't work, unless they're MHL!!

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

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(

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.

Question: I just bought a converter, but neither the S22U nor S8+ recognizes it.
Granted, it said for xiaomi but I thought they're all the same.
Is this because of the latest USB-C 3.2 format? or am I missing something ?
It needs to have a built in DAC.

I bought mine from Walmart and it works just fine. It even works with microphones or headsets. It's Walmart's cheap "onn" brand. I bought three or four of them because I always lose them. As far as quality goes, they feel and sound as good as any other one does, and they're only like five bucks.

To be honest. You would probably be better off just getting a new set of USB-C headphones. They cost from around $9 to $30 with the average around $15 or so. The amount of money you are going to spend on a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor will be about the same as you would spend on a pair of USB-C headphones.
Use the one from Apple. It works fine and cheap.
I'm using the one from Google (bought at BestBuy for $13) and it works great!
I bought a cheap one and work just fine after the last USB-C audio update via Galaxy Store. My problem is that when I am using on a phone call the micro doesn't work! Any solution?

I'm not sure. It should, but the OP stated the one he had was Xiaomi and it didn't work with his S22U.
I do know the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter works. My daughter has one. I tested it on my S22U, Tab S7, and her S22 and it worked with no problems. It cost $9.99 at Best Buy and around $8.27 at Amazon.
You don't need to worry if it includes a DAC since that is handled in the phone. If it wasn't the speakers and microphones wouldn't work.

I gave up on buying a converter/ adapter and already ordered earbuds. But I still want to have headphones around, and obviously they have to be USB-C.
So I was looking at some (USB-C) headphones today, some of them were quite cheap, some were labeled "Xiaomi compatible". Was wondering if they'd work with the S22U.
Do those (cheap) USB-C headphones work with the S22U or do they have a DAC problem as well?

I don't think it's a DAC problem. I think it's a wiring problem. Xiaomi may not be implementing the USB-C specification fully or properly. USB-C is a connector standard, not a protocol standard. Just because a device has a USB-C port doesn't mean it fully supports USB 3.x protocols. For example, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a USB-C port, but uses USB 2.0 standard.
As far as cheap USB-C headphones, as long as the manufacturer adheres to the proper USB-C pin-outs then they should work. I ordered these for my daughter's S22. They are the exact same headphones I use on my S22U and Tab S7.
Skull Candy and manufacturers also make USB-C headphones that are under $30.

DACs for these aren't expensive but the headphones will not work without one.
Output from the C port is in the digital not analog realm thus the need for a DAC.
It's easier to use the Buds+ or similar Samsung bt ear bud. Otherwise use the Samsung 3.5 mm audio dongle, it's $15.
