Hi,
Does anyone know if I can use this cable on amazon.com:
/HTC-Cable-ADR6300-Vision-Composite/dp/B003Z6Q1DG
with the HTC Sensation?
I know that the Sensation has MHL and the adapter that I am supposed to buy is this one:
/OEM-HTC-HDMI-Adapter-Sensation/dp/B005E5MPBS
but I want to connect this to the headrest mounted TV's in my car and they don't have HDMI inputs. I am trying to avoid buying an HDMI to composite converter, and a power inverter as well...
Any other ideas/ suggestions?
I'm bumping this because I would like to know the same.
Dude check out the 1 start comments... There are 3 HTC Sensation users who have clearly mentioned that it doesn't work with Sensation.. So don't but it..

I heard that if i root my HTC inspire i can view videos and photos on tv using micro usb to hdmi cable ??? is this true??
also is there any apps that can help duplicate the HTC screen on tv using hdmi or regular RCA cable???? i used to have this option on my captivate.
I'm willing to pay $20 for such an app .
I had a similar question a while back when I wanted to know if there was a way to get a cradle that had speakers from the charging port and d was told that there was no way to get any audio or video out of the micro USB port. Only charging/syncing. If you find out different, that would be good news. But I wouldn't expect it.
i have a burning question for all of you android/HTC experts out there....please help me
i intend to buy the sensation but i want to know:will i be able to connect it to a tv ?
the problem in my case is that my tv (and in fact none of those i could have access to) has a hdmi (or usb) port.
Therefore the only remaining option would be through a RCA cable.
I found on ebay a rca- usb cable... no boxes no nothing ...just the wire and the connectors...price about 5 $.. (i'm sorry i cant post the link.....)
will it work?
why not? i know rca is analog and usb is digital... hence my dilemma
i also know the sensation can do TV-out via MHL A/V link,but MHL is only going to work on the latest types of tvs....right?

It will work on any lcd or led tv which has a hdmi port(and as u stated ur tv has one),so it will definately work,normal hdmi cable or the cable which u have mentioned will not work,the official hdmi cable including mhl adaptor is available here:

Regards....
sorry i meant to say my tv does not have hdmi or usb...
so i guess i'll have to do without....
thanks though....
So there is absolutely nothing i could do to connect the sensation to a tv using rca conectors????
nothing money could buy??
Since HDMI is digital and RCA is analog, you would need a converter box. Something like this could do it:

thank you very much.....
Can anyone tell me if this is the HDMI cable for Sensation...? I want to plug it in Sony Bravia...

No, don't buy it will not work.
yeah, you need a MHL adapter like bonesy posted
Hey thanks guys... I thought its a simple way...lol..
Why didn't they make mini hdmi like the one in Sony Eric phones... ?
Btw... I don't understand the USB power port in mhl adapter. do we need to plug in our USB power adapter charger in that mhl adapter? Its a power source necessary for this mhl?
I bought an MHL adapter off ebay.
I have found that I need to plug in the charger to the cable but that might just be because I am using the HDMI through an auto switcher that doesn't have it's own power (gets the power from HDMI input). I haven't tried with the HDMI straight into the TV.
I watched a film over HDMI last night and the quality was really good even though it wasn't even a HD movie.
Just get the cheapest one you can find on ebay... they all use the same standard (MHL).

HD doesn't really mean **** if you know what you are doing.
It's all about using high bitrates, low-artifact, low noise, etc when encoding videos. I'd rather have a 25Mbps 720p than a 10MBps 1080p.

Just read this:
The power cable must be connected to the adapter while using it to send video and audio through HDMI. Power charger is not included in packaging. The MHL adapter features an USB Micro-B (female) power input. Connect the charger supplied with your mobile device to the MHL adapter to power your mobile device while it is in use.

I guess we have to connect a power adapter.. I think Sony Ericsson phones dont need this ****... i dont know why would they come out with adding annoying technology...
oN second thought, I believe it can also take power from a USB port. so If ur TV has a USB port then u can simply plugin the adapter with it to supply power and use HDMI cable to connect...

Correct!
Just tried with the side HDMI port on my TV which is next to the USB port and it worked.
Most TV's even cheap ones have a USB on them these days.
And yes... completely agree about the HD video comment. It was a very good DVD rip I had done with a decent bit rate.
Phil
can we access TV-OUT feature by 3.5mm jack of sensation..??
on gsm arena, they had wrote that sensation does MHL+3.5mm AVout, but i've never heard of it by any user
Can anyone confirm it ??
BTW : i should go for a sensation or Xperia arC ??
It does HDMI out if you use an MHL adapter.
Phil
I had a quick peek on ebay... Just so I get it right (not very fluent with this) - signal goes out through USB? I take it that sound goes with it, or do we have to plug in to jack too?
Nope you do not need to plug it audio out from headphone. The micro usb to full size hdmi will carry video and audio together. I bought the cable at local electronic store.
Correct. You get video and audio through the usb socket to HDMI.
You can, however, plug in to the headphone socket and sound will come through there instead while it is still plugged into HDMI.
You also need to plug it into power for it to work.
Phil
hey phil, but how do you connect power while the mhl adapter is being used (through the same charge port)
It has a connector on the MHL adapter (a micro usb) to plug in the power.
Phil
Groovy, thanks chaps...
I think I just might get myself on of these toys, seems a handy gadget to have...
Is there any way that we can get Tv-out function ntsc/pal in our Sensation,instead of HDMI/Mhl out?

I believe Elegancia Blitz sense 3.6 ROM included that option... But don't know if there's the appropriate cable or not
The Revelation™ ushered in a revolution... Right on, SebastianFM!
tried with nokia 5800 xpress music tv-out cable,doesn't seamed to be work.my tv doesn't support hdmi or any mhl cable.mine is samsung flat tv.
any way to be workable ? :'(
Buy some sort of conversion cable. Like VGA to HDMI and vice versa. They're not unheard of, but you'll still need a MHL adapter.

Thanks.Will try to see any converter of MHL adapter.if its works or not.
Good luck & post back with news please!

Hey guys i am back in this thread,
Mhl cable/converter doesn't seamed to be available in market,so any work out with "S-video" or Nokia TV-out function cables on device ?
PS:
Galaxy S i9000 supports Ntsc/pal tv-output.So no on sensation.
Also,RGB-to-3.5mm jack tv-out cable doesn't work,It shows me as "Headphone" icon.

This requires special 3.5mm jack, which the Sensation most probably lacks (only device I know has it (from the android devices) is the i9000 and it's variants). The adapter should not be from MHL but from HDMI, such as these:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...o+rca&_nkw=hdmi+to+rca&_sacat=32852&_from=R40
however, I tend to doubt if a normal cable would work, as HDMI is a digital standard while RCA is analog.

So i guess This One cable should work but it requires a HDMI-To-sensation cable converter in order to connect to my device(which our device don't have HDMI plug).

Yes, it's called MHL adapter (make sure it's compatible with sensation/i9100 (galaxy S2), as there are devices which have a different pin layout or even a different tech for HDMI via USB (Nexus 4 uses SlimPort and not MHL). Do NOT buy the one for Galaxy S3 or Note 2, as they are incompatible.
