[EDIT] HDMI out 8 pounds, ok? - It does not work, forget it

I found this cable in deal extreme for HDMI. There is a comment saying that it works in evo 4g, so it should work in our Sensation, right? Any one has bought this article? It is pretty cheap, I am just not sure because I cant find any reference to "MHL" in the specifications

Don't buy it, it won't work, I did this mistake the day I got my Sensation....before reading a little more about its HDMI out function.

i got mine i bought for my evo. lemme see if it works
*edit* different size man no dice, wouldn't even fit

Thank you, you saved me 8 bucks, I was about to buy it.

no problem man. lemme kno if u find one for the sensation at a good price id like to pick one up too

For the Sensation it's not "just a cable", the cable includes an "MHL module" (kind of a plastic small box) in which HDMI cable is plugged
Like this one, for example:

A bit late to the party..
Would this one work? Both phones have micro USB.

Quite impressed. Using a cheap generic mHDMI to VGA adaptor, works like a charm...

Could you share a link to the one you bought or tell me where you got it?

EBay or amazon - any standard micro HDMI to VGA adapter will work. Or a mHDMI to full size HDMI if your tv or monitor has one.
Fun fact - the official mHDMI spec requires a flat surface where it plugs in. It's angled on the Surface so they can't officially call it one...!

Ha! I was wondering why they said it wasn't actually a compatible uHDMI. That's silly...
Not entirely sure that this topic was worth its own thread - people have already shown it elsewhere on the forum - but your "fun fact" is both amusing and informative, as I had held off buying a microHDMI adapter until I knew why they said it wasn't a standard one despite appearing the same.

[Q] Nexus 5 Included OEM USB Cable

Hi, I was wondering if someone can post a few pictures of the USB cable that was included with your nexus 5. Reason I am asking is because I need to return the device for warranty since it was defective and they require all original accessories. I think I have the original usb cables but I have like 7 different micro usb cables, so I need to make sure which one is which. If you can send me pics of both sides of the male and female ends of the cable and a general image of what the cable looks like. Also, if you can measure the cable for me and tell me how long it is that would be great. Thank you in advance, I realize it takes time to do this but it would help me a lot!

Nexus 6p Docking Station

I'm posting this thread to get some advice or direction as to which Docking stations would be fully compatible with the nexus 6p. I know when buying cables we have to be careful cause a lot of the cheaper ones tend to ruin our devices. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!!

I'm very curious about this too

Beson Leung (a Google engineer that's checking/reviewing Type C accessories) has an Amazon list of everything that he approves of: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/KF89JCHI0KT4/
There's only one dock on the list so far: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017K46T1M/
He also reviewed another dock but it didn't make the cut.

I bought this dock : Sarvi Dock
This particular dock allows you to use the charger that came with the 6p. I love it. No issues whatsoever.

There is an extensive thread about this already, including the dock shown above (I ordered 2, got one, it was missing parts/instructions and was obviously used, and it took a month to get a refund).
Should check out the other threads on this.

Compact USB-C to MicroUSB adapter. Solving the compatibility problem.

I have several popular amazon brand adapters but the problem is they're too thick. I carry one in my wallet but some how I lost it after just a few days. I've been on a mission to find the adapter that I can easily carry in my wallet but not easily disappear. I don't want to keep paying for something that I only use once in a while. Most adapters on Amazon go for $3-$5, not cheap for a tiny adapter. We know those have the pull up resistor and are safe to use.
Someone left a good review for this ebay adapter from seller goodtops165 (IDK about the similar adapter from other sellers, they all look the same) so I give it a shot. It costs $1.38, 2 weeks to ship.
The adapter passes CheckR test and it behaves like other USB-C to MicroUSB adapters that I have. It comes with a sleeve and it's is slimmer than others. :good:

Very much reminds me of the OnePlus adapter with the red case and all.
Does this one allow OTG adapters to work?

I got one!

For a couple of bucks worth it to keep 1 or 2 of these on hand.
