HDMI Cable?

What HDMI cable are you using and where did you get it for your Charge?

I bought a cable from amazon. Works perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UH0Z9Q

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.

wow 4bux
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?

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.

hdmi out cable?

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.

wow, this has to be the 5th time ive seen this question in the accessories thread :/
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!!

I bought the same one from Expansys UK and it works perfect. Hell of a lot cheaper too than official one's!

HDMI cable

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.

[Q] Wireless charger that will work for both Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?

I just recently got a Nexus 4, and my girlfriend got a Galaxy S3 for christmas. I know the S3 doesn't have native wireless charging (requires some sort of adapter to the pinout under the back cover, I think?), but I was wondering if there's either: A) a way I can add wireless charging to the S3 that would be compatible with the recently released charging orb through the play store, or B) an option that would somehow work for both, if the S3 can't be made compatible with the orb.
I made an effort to search through other questions to make sure this hadn't been asked before, so forgive me if it has and I missed it!

Rumors have it that Samsung is developing a kit, if its Qi compatible then all Qi chargers will work with it.
The real place to ask the question is in the S3 forums. If they make it Qi youre good, if not then its on them.

I got the adapter from fast tech for the S3 (cheapest I could find it at $15 including shipping) for my Boyfriend's S3. I have a Nexus 4. Once the adapter and my Qi chargers arrive I will report back and let you know. I did not order the orb, but I did get the cheap $35 one from fast tech, and the double Duracell one from amazon.
I think I should get at least the adapter and the double duracell one next week. We also have a variety of cases for the s3 to test with.

I'm hoping that orb will work for galaxy s3. Not only I'm getting useless nexus 4i also ordered the orb. My wife might kill me. Lol. We got Verizon and at least a year and a half on contract left.

I'm using the cheapo uniden qi charger for the iPhone with my nexus 4. Got it at walgreens drug store for like 12$ and hacked for the n4 it works perfectly.

I'm using the Energizer dual charger (Qi certified) to charge both my N4 and my wife's GS3. I bought an after market Qi receiver for the GS3 from eBay. It fits under the stock back cover. Works great.
I like the energizer unit since I can do both phones at the same time.

Do you have any problems with placing phones properly?

Had various wireless chargers, Nokia beats all, it just works, drop your phone and that's it, no fidling with correct placement or similar nosense.
Though there is a funny thing with Nexus 4 and wireless charging...

I, too, have an S3 and a N4, which are sharing one wireless charger (Power Qi). I had to buy a Qi receiver and apply it on top of the battery for S3. It makes the back of S3 hump a little bit, but the battery cover still snaps in. Of course, S3 feels heavier too.
That said, things work fine. Charging faster than computer usb 2.0 and slower than wall charger, but I can grab it an run whenever I want.

In Vietnam it's about 37 USD per unit and the receiver is about 10 USD.

MHL to HDMI with OTG cable? and video output modes?

Hi, is it possible to use a cable like that? http://www.everychina.com/f-z51ede7e/p-91338529/showimage.html
Where can be buyed? other web ... of course.
If it works, may select between dual mode or extended mode?
In dual mode, may i turn off the screen's tablet and works only with the hdmi output?

hdmi adapter with more
Anyone have an Idea if this would work ---
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261258976905?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

This item can be connected MHL Phone or Tablet to HDTV. One cable and two usages. If you wanna get one for your note 8.0, you can search it at ebay.com or amazon.com with keyword "mhl cable for samsung Note 8.0".

Make sure it is compatible with Samsung devices. MHL adapters that worked with HTC devices are not compatible with Samsung devices.

If I were you I wouldn't trust the price !!!
I'am sure they'll send you either a fake (which is not as performant as the real deal !!!) or worse an old mhl (the S3's for example which may also be a fake)
That being said, if you have the spare money to give it a try feel freed to give us a feedback on the case you will fill in ^^

no it doesnt work just i tried on my note and it didnt work

I bought this one at BestBuy . A but pricey but it works. Don't want to risk on cheap ones not working so I got it.
