Has anyone with a Revolution 3.6.13 rooted Sensation 4G (T-Mobile USA) tried this MHL adapter for $10.20 from monoprice.com and how is the quality? I'm in need of an MHL hookup but not exactly sure which to get.

Tried it on the resound, and would lose internet when connected. I keep meaning to pick up the official 15 pin HTC unit. Costs more, but you get what you pay for. If this is useless, please ignore..

Yeah those are the kinds of glitches I'm hoping to avoid, as having wifi dropout while it's connected would partly defeat the purpose. I found this one also on ebay which has the HDMI cable connected, so it only requires two separate pieces/cables, though I'm not sure if using my own HDMI cable might get better results.
Be careful. For example I'm in need of one too but I don't have HDMI, only DVI.
When using MHL with DVI, you only get a picture on the screen when it updates the screen. It's black the rest of the time unless scrolling, playing a movie, live wallpapers, etc.
So I'm a little SoL.
xhigh, not sure I get the point of your post.. are you saying your tv/monitor only has DVI input? I did mention HDMI specifically in my post, not DVI, so whatever DVI issues there may be aren't an issue.

HTC Sensation / Revolution 3.6.13 via XDA app
So what is a recommended MHL adapter? Or are we really to spend $30+ on the HTC one?
Looking to be able to play videos (x264) over dlna / samba or whatever to hdmi. Preferably outputting sound through the analog jack still for now.
I took a chance on the Monoprice one, and just received it this morning.. I haven't had time to test it extensively yet, but here's my experience so far...
Pros:
I was able to connect to my 1080P hidef tv without any problems.. connected to HDMI-4, plugged the usb into the side of the tv, and was up and running in literally under 60 seconds. No reboot was needed.
Picture quality is not 100% perfect, but it's nearly so... much more than adequate for viewing movies, previewing photos from the camera, etc. Audio quality via HDMI was also extremely good.
I did *not* lose wifi while connected, as some others have reported. Wifi signal remained strong. I was able to connect via SMB and CIFS and stream music and video, though I haven't tested this extensively yet.
Cons:
I'm not sure if this is normal with MHL connectors, but while the adapter was powered via USB on the side of the tv, the 500mA coming out of the tv was not enough to provide a charge.. During the 30 minutes I played with it, there was a gradual discharge of the phone, so it's not able to keep up with the rate of discharge of the phone, though technically it should prolong the battery life since it is providing some power to the phone. (Technically, the USB power connection to the MHL is to power the HDMI signal, so maybe what I observed is perfectly normal). While plugged in via USB, Minimalistic Text showed a status of 'USB Charging' which was to be expected...
Next I tried plugging the power directly into AC and not the television's USB port.. Interestingly enough, Minimalistic Text again showed a status of 'USB Charging' even though it was plugged into mains power, so it must have something to do with the fact that the mini-USB end of the AC charger isn't being plugged directly into the phone, but through the MHL dongle instead. In any case, and also interesting, the phone was again discharging faster than it accepted charge from AC, but it seemed to be a slower discharge than when plugged into the tv's USB port...
So, all in all, given my intended use which for now is mainly going to be for previewing photos, working with some documents via bluetooth keyboard, and playing P90 and Tapout workout videos, I think it's well worth the price.
If anyone can comment on the USB charging and discharge rates on OEM MHL adapters, that would be helpful.. Is it normal that the phone discharges while connected to MHL, even though it's in a charging state? If so, then I'm more than happy with the one I got from monoprice.. If, however, OEM units do actually build charge while connected, then I might consider one down the road if I find I have more elaborate requirements than I do now...
Offtopic, can anyone recommend good affordable bluetooth keyboards for our phones?
Thanks. That definitely helps! My goal is to play hours of video through CIFS/SMB/DLNA (x264), so it sounds like power will definitely be an issue.
Is MHL/HDMI purely a clone of the phone's screen or what? Wondering if there's any apps out there that can have the phone function as a remote / file navigator, and have video output only go through hdmi.
MHL is a clone of the phone's screen, so you can use ES File Explorer to navigate your CIFS shares, touch your video file, select the appropriate viewer, and it will stream and clone to the tv..
I tried it and it works great
but, buy it in dx
Wasn't able to find confirmation elsewhere, so I thought I'd post here to let folks know: the HDMI to VGA dongle for the TF300 does, indeed, work with the Infinity. I haven't been able to test it with my projector, but it works with the monitor just fine. The dongle disables speaker output, but the headphone jack still works.
Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006AR1QAA/
FYI, the less expensive CableMatters adapter does NOT work. Save your time and money.
I can confirmed that i ordered this product (from amazon too) and it worked on my Asus Zenbook UX31E & my Asus Infinity tablet
Can you confirm if it worked with your projector, and more details pls

Hi - I bought the same one, but it is not working with my TF700 I tried connecting it to a lenovo external desktop monitor, a VGA projector, and even a plasma tv with a VGA in - and none of them worked !
What configuration did you carry out? Are any tweaks to be done on the tablet itself?
Any details you can share will be appreciated !

Assuming you got the one I linked in my post, complete with the "Asus" logo, there are no settings: it's just plug-and-play. Could be you got stuck with a faulty adapter or (worse yet) a tablet with a faulty HDMI port. I'd try to RMA the adapter through Amazon and try a different one. If you get the same problem, sounds like your tablet might be the source of the difficulty.
I'm using this one ^ too and it's working fine for producing the right output on external monitor, but I'm not happy with it overall, as for some reason it LAGS the device, so the lagged output on a bigger screen is what I get with it...
Got a response from Asus and its more complicated now

Got a reply from Asus "Unlike a PC, Android on the tablet doesn't allow any resolution adjustments. So it'll be outputting 1920x1200. You didn't mention the make/model of the projector but you should check the available input range and check how this is handled, especially if it's not a full hd projector. Also check the projector settings and see what options are allowed for zoom/scaling the input."
So what they are saying is that this will only work with devices that support 1920x1200 as a resolution on VGA input. Can you confirm if your device does that, or does it have a max resolution which is less than this?
I checked my devices and both the plasma tv and the LCD projector are only capable upto SXGA (1280x1024) on the VGA interface. Now my questions revolve around the Asus MicroHD to VGA converter - does this only provide as an output what is the input? I noted that this works with the TF300 and TF200 as well - both of them are at 1280x800 - which means that this cable should be capable of outputting that signal... is there a way to make the cable downconvert to a static output of 1280x800? Or is it hardwired to output only what it receives as an input?
Asus is feeding you false information. It will not output the full resolution of the tablet no matter what you do.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879564
I have never seen the crop or scale options on my tf700... not sure how any of you have seen that with a stock ROM. Here is the kick with a 1920x1200 monitor.... it will output 1920x1080! It will not allow you to output the entire desktop unless the monitor scales the image itself. Once it is scaling and you can see the system bar, now go into settings hdmi.. then hit back. You will see the image fill the horizontal resolution properly, but vertical is cropped and cuts off the system bar. In either mode, you will get 1080 on the vertical res.
I WISH it would output the full res with ANY HDMI monitor!! I have several monitors that are at the native res and none of them will allow you to display the screen properly. If anyone has any ideas how to force the hdmi res to the native res of the tablet, please let me know! This would solve an issue that I have been trying to fix or find a workaround to ever since the release of this tab.
The acer branded mini hdmi to vga adapter also works with the tf700

HI Guys,
I have a T428 from GeekBuying.com, I am having issues setting it up
1) I am unable to get my T428 to work using my nexus 4 as a wireless remote / keyboard have anyone managed to do it? (I tried a few applications but no luck)
2) Some movie playback is stuttering / buffering a lot, do anyone get this issue? (mainly 720p MKV's over 3GB)
3) I am looking for a 5 volt / 2amp UK plug... (My last android device shorted out when the 2pin plug got knocked while in the adapter) Nokia and Samsung phone ones are 5V but only 0.5amp causing the T428 to reboot at random
4) I noticed you cannot just use any micro usb cable to power the device, some seem 0.5ml too small and it it slips out (Stock cable is too short) best one that fits I have found so far was in Poundland but that is also quite short, it add about 6" and I need 18 - 24"
Thanks !

it is hard getting a 2amp power supply i feel you there i couldnt even boot my mk808 for the first 2 days due to not having
a. power capable cable
b. power capable plug adaptor
in the end i had to Frankenstein a power source using a nexus 7 plug and a sony camera usb cable.
the easiest option may be to go to argos or whatever store you have near you and get one of those multi-voltage chargers with mutil-point adaptors, at least then you can power any future device to whatever power it needs.
or just go amazon or a 2amp usb plug http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Suitable-Smartphones-Portable-consoles/dp/B00270GAMS
thinking of getting one soon because im likely to buy more tv sticks in the future.
im still stumped that the mk808 came with jellybean but was flash compatible out of the box .
Thanks for the reply.... ordered the Amazon plug for £12
Tronsmart T428 does not start
Hey guys,
I ordered and received the Tronsmart T428 through geekbuying.com. I have problems getting it to work however. Can you please suggest a resolution?
Below are the steps I followed:
1. Connected the micro-usb to the wall-adapter, and the adapter to an electric socket. So, I see a red-light on the Tronsmart.
2. Connected the Tronsmart to a HDMI input on my TV (Sharp Aquos 42" 720p HDTV) and selected the appropriate input from the TV settings.
However, nothing shows up on my TV besides a message "An incompatible video signal has been received. Check the output device settings." and the whole screen is blank. I confirmed that the HDMI input on my TV works if my laptop is project on it... so the TV port works.
Then I connected the Tronsmart to my laptop (Windows 7) via the USB, it finds the drivers and shows 5.66 GB free out of 5.76 GB. Also, I see that it only contains 13 empty folders! Is it because the device is not rooted, and that there isn't sufficient permissions to view the files? Or is it that it shipped with nothing installed on the device?
At this point, I don't know if the device is defective or I am missing some step. I have emailed the customer-service and am yet to receive an answer. Has anyone come across this issue? Could anyone please guide me?
Thanks much!
Adi
Hmmm......Sounds like a defective power supply may have corrupted to stcik.....I would send back ASAP.......

It is possible that the resolution is set to 1080p. Try connecting your device to a TV with Full HD display (1080p). Then change the resolution in the settings to 720p. Had the same issue with my MK808B.

Yep, that did it. Thanks a bunch!
May be it should be pre-configured by the manufacturers for 720p out of the box, so it will work for everyone.. and then those with 1080p can change the settings.. just a thought. Thanks regardless.

True!
I had UG007II found this:
Pro:
Great video colors and resolution, looks like bluray when play video files from MicroSD card
Easily rooted
Custom firmware available
Two OTG ports (one for power)
Cons:
Doesn't recognize external HDD
Awful WiFi signal
Only one USB port and one OTG port available, so you can connect a controller and one thing else, I connected a USB to RJ45 ethernet port (10/100 Mbps) but it only gives 4-6 Mbps so there is lot of lags when playing HD videos.
So if you want to stream videos from network this is not good for HD or even 720p videos because of the weak and unstable WiFi signal and slow speed via USB to Ethernet converter, and it is not good either for fast web surfing.
Then I upgraded to UG008 and found this:
Pro:
Good WiFi signal reception, just like any laptops signal
Has Ethernet RJ45 port
One power port, one OTG port, one USB port
Detects Transdent external HDD
Cons:
Via WiFi signal (4/5 bars) or Ethernet port the web surfing speed or file streaming still very slow, must be something with the Network integration
No custom firmware available. IF SOMEONE FOUND ONE after this review was written PLEASE post it! THANK YOU!
Doesn't detect other brand of external HDDs but Transdent
Conclusion:
UG008 may have better WiFi signal and RJ45 ethernet port but the network performance is as bad as the UG007.
So if you was thinking to get a UG008 as an upgrade from UG007, DON'T DO IT, it is as bad as UG007 with a symbolic better WiFi signal.

There is a cut down ubuntu version available for the SD (the linux whose name is censored here). Its name is censored by the forum, so place "untu" after "Pic" and you'll see the name :laugh:. It has a number of useful Linux applications and runs fairly well, too. I'm glad you posted your review. It was really helpful. You've posted the only review I've seen on the ethernet performance. UGOOS says it's a 10/100 chip (UG008 spec). Could there maybe be a config issue?
Hey everybody,
I bought an Advent Tegra Note a couple of days ago. I always connect my devices to a TV at some point but there wasn't too much infomartion out there about the Tegra Note before I got my hands on it so I just wanted to put some info out there for people who might be interested.
The Note has both micro USB and Micro HDMI ports so I bought a micro HDMI to HDMI cable to test out a few things with it connected to a TV. I've used MHL a lot in the past so I'm not sure whether or not some of what follows is specific to the Tegra Note or applies to any tablet with both HDMI and USB ports.
HDMI to TV:
When you plug the HDMI cable into the Note it automatically kicks the display into landscape so you don't need to worry about the orreientation of the tablet itself.
Sound output seems to be at line-out level. It sounds great if you happen to have your TV plugged into a HiFi, but it does mean you can't alter the volume on the Note itself while it's plugged in.
In my experience, when you plug a phone into a TV via an MHL adapter it seems to really load the hardware which has a negative impact on performance. I don't know if it's because the Tegra 4 inside the Note is so powerful or if it's a feature of having a separate HDMI output, but there's no noticeable slow down at all. By way of example, when I ran Epic Citadel with ultra high settings in benchmark mode, it still achieved 59 fps. Web browsing was flawless too with very smooth performance.
I should probably point out that I was testing this on a 720p TV, not full HD.
USB On-the-Go
With a small OTG adapter plugged into the micro USB port I tried plugging in a wireless keyboard and mouse and it works perfectly (bear in mind if you have a UK QWERTY keyboard some symbols are in the 'wrong' place which is bit stupid for a device being sold in the UK). Next up I tried a bus powered 80GB hard drive and this also worked fine. Finally I tried a mains powered USB hub with the keyboard and hard drive plugged into it and that also works properly too. The tablet appeared to be drawing charge from the USB hub.
Simultaneous HDMI and USB OTG
At first this didn't work at all, but I found if I plugged the USB OTG adapter into the tablet first, then the HDMI cable, everything worked fine. In this setup it really is like a little media pc - it performs very well indeed.
I also tried using a small bluetooth keyboard with trackball mouse with it and that works too. I haven't tried a controller yet. I've read elsewhere that Six Axis Controller won't work with it which is a real shame, but there you go.
Apart from the rather creamy/yellow colour tint to the screen on the Tegra Note, it really is an awesome little device. 35,000 points in Antutu for $200? Awesome!
If you're in the UK and you're frustrated by the lack of UK QWERTY keyboard layout ( no £ symbol etc) you can use the Median External keyboard app from the Play store without root. This will add a UK layout under the hardware keyboard settings area under the 'Language and Input' menu. Hint, you have to connect the keyboard to get the hardware keyboard menu to appear in the input menu.
UPDATE: After the official OTA update to 4.3 I noticed a few things:
It is no longer necessary for users to download the Medion External keyboard app to get access to a UK QWERTY hardware layout. Under the input settings menu there is now an option to select a UK Android PC keyboard layout. On both my bluetooth and wireless desktop keyboards, the internet explorer shortcut key works as the Home button. Regrettably the auto correct options for hadware keyboards still don't work.
Unfortunately bluetooth is even worse than under the original or updated 4.2.2 ROM. When steaming via A2DP there are regular dropouts and reconnecting paired devices such a Moga Pro gamepad repeatedly fails at times. A factory reset didn't help.
When trying to disconnect an external HDD in the Settings/Storage menu, not only does the USB drive get unmounted, the MicroSD card stops working. The capacity and free space and of the MicroSD card will read as zero after the external drive has been disconnected. Restarting the Note (or remounting the SD card) will fix the problem, though for me the Gallery and Google Music apps became corrupted and I had to clear the data in Media Storage, Gallery and Music apps and reboot to get things working again. This bug was not present before.
I've also been playing with an Justop EZCast dongle that I bought from a reseller on Amazon. Results are very mixed. In EZCast mode pictures are streamed to the dongle very well. Videos are really hit and miss. Some stream flawlessly while others stutter to the point of being unwatchable. In EZMirror mode where the whole of the tablet's screen is mirrored on the TV results also vary. Music streaming sounds good but there are often dropouts and 'pops' and 'sqeaks' every so often that are really annoying. Also, altering the volume on the tablet does not change the volume on the dongle (whereas it does if you stream from a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0). Streaming films is also problematic in that there are periodic interruptions that are really annoying. Finally, if you connect to a wireless access point while in EZMirror mode you can mirror your browser etc to the TV which opens up a range of possibilities. You can even mirror writing on the screen to a TV so the Note would make an interesting presentation device in various scenarios. Gaming is not recommended as there is latency of about a quarter of a second. In short, when the dongle works it's great, but for now it is flawed and I wouldn't recommend one. I'm not sure whether future firmware updates will improve the dongle, but I suspect its internal hardware isn't powerful enough, especially for HD content.

I think maybe it's because I'm used to to Super LCD screens. If you put one beside the Note and look at the gmail and Play icons they look a little creamy and yellow. Next to a 2013 Nexus 7 it looks awful, but now Currys have dropped the price to £99, who cares?
You need an Micro HDMI plug not a Mini HDMI plug as I found out last week. I bought mine from an Amazon reseller for about £2. Asda sell them in store for £6-9 dependent upon brand from memory.
Make sure your headphone jack works properly, mine had an intermittent fault.
If you bought your Note in the last seven days you may be able to get Currys to refund the difference, especially if you ordered online.

I felt the same way but I found a non 0844 contact number and gave it a shot. Allegedly the difference has been refunded onto my card, though I haven't checked yet. The number is 01594 332592 and it answers as Currys Know How. I should add that I paid online and had the Note delivered to store rather than Click and Collect (or whatever it is where you reserve then pay in store).
I have picked a UK Tegra Note up for 99 quid. Really is very quick and have found that enabling 4xMSAA in developer options doesn't degrade performance in gaming.
I picked up a 30 quid miracast box from Curry's. Miracast works okay, image quality is good, but sound can fall out of sync. However with only one WiFi channel you cannot use streaming services. Although you could always set up another android device as a Bluetooth tether connected to WiFi.
Anyone got an Apps to SD solution?

Doh! I didn't realise Currys sold them - I just ordered one online from Amazon. Good point about the lack streaming services.
I only tried 4xMSAA in Modern Combat 3 and I couldn't see much difference in quality. Perhaps I'll try again. I'd love to be able to get rid of the colour banding in certain scenarios (colour crush) as it's very unattractive. Into the Dead is a good example.
