can u plz give me a link 2 tmo mhl adapter????

When I ordered my MHL adapter from T-mobile it was in the accessory section for the HTC Sensation under "Data" but I went there to get the link for you and it isn't there anymore. I would guess to just keep looking every so often.

It's probably sold out on the tmo site.

i Bought a Samsung MHL cable, wich says that it should be comatble with Sensation!
But to begin with so i have to restart the sensation to get it working
+ No sound !
Picture Suckssss. Really dissapointed.. My old nokia N95 could delivere a better picture than this!
Why no sound?

I have a Samsung one, works great with my Sensation - only problem is small glitches in the Sense homescreens and app drawer, but within apps its perfect and sound is good.

Thats the one I have - you do know that you MUST have a power source plugged into the adapter to make it work right? So far I've seen someone else with the same problem, and that was the bit of information he was missing.

You should see the same video I did with the SGSII - bluetooth mouse support makes it even better! If only the Sensation had proper bluetooth mouse support, its extra screen resolution via MHL would make it amazing for VNC/RDP applications!

Sure i had power on! Orelse i didint work..
now i have retuerned the cable and will wate for the HTC cable!
For some strange reason the HTC cable is about 300 Swedish Kr in here and the samsung is 200 kr!!!

[Q] TV out

Has anyone been able to get the 3.5 mm to RCA adapter to work with the infuse because I have 2 and not all of my TVs are HDMI capable and the TV out settings menu is gone so is it possible
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I'm pretty sure it is gone, due to MHL support (HDMI over USB) but if anybody could make it happen, I would love to see it. I don't own a single TV with HDMI, but have 1 component hdtv & composite/s-video sdtv. I would love to be able to use my infuse with them. I used the HDMI for the first time over at my girlfriends grandparents, and it was amazing. Would this be something possible to port over from the captivate once GB arrives, or would it require a too extreme of a sorcery to port over?

We may not have the hardware for it at all. If I ever get the time I'll look to see if there's hint of it in the kernel sources, but just to warn you, this particular item is very low priority for me. I haven't owned an analog-only TV in years.

it would also need a program to tell it it is connected to a tv. the phone whouldnt be able to tell if a tv or a microphone was connected.

is there any update on this yet?
anyone tried something already?
Thanks!

[Q] Sensation USB Host Feature

I know that USB Host is a Honeycomb feature, but it seems that Samsung has somehow ported it to Gingerbread for the GS2. Does anyone know if any of the Sensation ROMs will ever be able to support USB host?
Btw, this is taken from the DSLR Controller post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16497326&postcount=257), but the package we would need is android.hardware.usb.host.

I'm interested in getting USB Host mode too for that very purpose. Hope it happens soon.

Hello,
any progres with USB host on HTC sensation?
I probably must kill my self becouse i bought sensationg betwean Samsung S2 with default USB support
Stupid nokia N8 support usb HOST....
I try google some posibilites but i didnt find anything
Thx alot Martin

If the t-mobile version of the galaxy s2(aka Hercules) can do it, then we should for we share the same class of SoC(the MSM8260 vs the APQ8060), the only difference being the APQ is without a Qualcom modem. Also they both support USB OTG according to the Qualcomm specs for the Gen 3 Snapdragons. Now we just need someone to port it over.

I found arcticle when Somebody aply usb host support tu HTC DHD
Included:
new kernel
2 new modules
and probably some new "software" for using it.

Could someone be interested in developing the usb host features?? If I had the technical competences, I would develop it...but I don't know how to do it!!
If someone it's interested in it, I could donate something
Thank you

would be very nice to have such option. just perfect to copy something from one's flash stick.

When i had xperia neo, a person(a gr8 person) ported the modules into xperia 2011 series- Doomlord
Some developer should contact him
Sent from my htc Sensation 4G using XDA App

this would be of interest to me, I'm guessing we just need one or two kernel modules, and an app to load/unload them

i'm intrested too, is there news ?

USB Host mode would actually the one feature missing to make ICS perfect

I am very interested in this feature too, but can't find any solutions :/

And there is any progress? The USB Host Diagnostics v1.2 says me only NO

works on ICS?

OTG USB on HTC MAGIC
I found this (Sorry i cannot post a link so you have to search for >> USB Host Mode on HTC Dream << on Blogspot) It is a step by step howto recompile a kernel with USB Host Support. Iwill try it on my old G1. But first I need a adapter or better a schematic for diy, so i can test if it works.
Greetings Hubert

tried today bricked kernel, which is supposed to have usb host... usb host diagnostics said no... and the device wasnt recognised...

Yesterday i got a USB cable with OTG.
Is this cable will be good?

The cable does not work at all. I can not even install the program USB Host Controller (e.g.). I ask because in HD2 had to connect the external power supply.

the cable itself is ok, but since we don't have otg working yet it won't work. If we ever get otg working i don't know if you have to power every device, a lot of devices will need power like external hdd's.

google nexus one & desire
Hey guys,
wasn't there news that ICS would have quite a few usb drives implemented.
Anyway, I know there was a big fuss about usb host mode in the google nexus one section and since they were one of the first to get ics working, maybe somebody from there could help out. Like from the top of my head leedroid, or somebody like him.
Can't post any links sorry.

OTG usb host on desire s???

maybe there is something about this on forum that i can't find so i need to ask, how to make usb hosting - OTG to work?
i am using CM7.1 with stock kernel. can i make it work if i put Tiamat-Saga kernel? is there something else that i have to do?

Hope you get an answer, but please try to post in the correct places, this it's for development hence the name not general questions, I've asked that it's moved
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

does someone know answer to my question?

I'm not sure if its a kernel thing but from what I've read cyanogenmod 7 supports it. I don't know how it works though
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

I'm interested in this too.

I've bought Nokia CA-157 OTG Cable. After little sawing it's compatible with phones other than Nokia. It's confirmed, that it's working with Samsung Galaxy SII. But I'm worried, because it's doesn't seems to work properly. After i plug cable in, Car Home app is opening. On Sense-based ROM-s it's Location. Tell me, this is normal? When I plug in pendrive, his diode does not light. I'm worried about this, too.

Look at this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742
They can do it for desire. So I think there are no problems for desire S.
But we need an external power because I've never seen any HTC devices support power for usb otg.
With sony xperia 2011 or samsung galaxy S2, we don't need an external power. These devices support output power for micro usb port.

How to turn your Android device into a veritable gaming console

This epic 17-minute video below can teach you a trick or two on how to use your Android smartphone as a gaming console, complete with installing emulators, hooking it up to a TV, as well as using various accessories like gamepads and Wiimotes with it.
For those of you who are big fans of the retro big box gaming, installing emulators and loading games up, although controversial in terms of copyright and such, is also demonstrated.
The good thing about Android emulators is that you don't need to hack or root your device in any way, so Google's mobile OS is quickly becoming a gamer's lust, as hinted by the record-breaking donations to the Kickstarter project for Ouya - the open source Android gaming console.

AFAIK, tegra2 boards dont supports HDMI over USB, all the phones based on tegra2 chipset are having separate HDMI port.

they have specified that tegra apx, tegra 6xx series having output over HDMI, but havent specified that its over native HDMI port or over MHL.
all the devices running on tegra2 SoC dont have MHL functionality and those handsets who have HDMI output (like g2x) are having separate HDMI port. (i m not techy guy and havent researched on board, correct me if i m wrong here)

Do you want to know the funny part buddy ?
Check this out: Captivate Glide specs (GSM Arena)
It has a HDMI port listed in the features which was the reason I thought it also provides the functionality through a separate HDMI port but it turns out it doesn't have a HDMI port, some Captivate user should have notified them & helped them correct it. :silly:
They should have represented it in the way it has been written for SGS2: TV-out (via MHL A/V link) Source (GSMArena)
Anyways we can hope to get MHL !

How about this:
- Take the stock kernel & ROM for Captivate Glide.
- Take the relevant drivers from the ROM and merge them into our ROM & do the same for the kernel.
Possible / Impossible ?

ardatdat can help in that, he have made kernels for glide and galaxy r both so he must be having good knowledge of both device's kernels.
