Is there an adapter to connect my Hero to a TV? I found an HTC adapter (ACT100) that works with a lot of phones, but it doesn't list the Hero.
I believe that someone has tried this before but the Hero does not support video out. I might be wrong.
I have a hero and sadly it does not support tv out. It has all of the requirements but HTC excluded that feature for some un-known reason.

Is there any cables like for other phones to connect HD2 to a TV ?
No
(cause the HD2 doesn't support TV-Out)
this has been asked before...
that thread didnt come to any usefull conclusion..
do a search for it... the end result i think was something like the usb port on the HD2 isnt capable of video/audio throughput...
I don't know why you want to do it, but if your tv has a usb port you can connect it that way and use it as a media gallery.
The other option is if you have an htpc, output the video to the tv via the pc and My Mobile.
I've searched the HD2 accessories forum and found some inklings of the question I'm asking, but none that quite hit at the heart of the matter. So, my question is this:
Does the HD2 (TMO US) send line audio out through the micro-USB port? I would assume it does, since the dock HTC sells for the HD2 has a 3.5mm jack in back, and it only plugs into the phone via micro-USB.
And my follow-on question would be, if the HD2 does indeed have line audio in the micro-USB port, does anyone know of an actual splitter accessory that splits out line audio and USB charging? I saw this device at AndroidCentral.com's store (sorry, my new account doesn't allow external links) (htc-3-in-1-usb-adapter/5A18A3571.htm) in another thread. But since it's mini-USB and HTC claims it only works for the phones specified, does that mean a gender changer (Daydeal.com, Product ID 31355) wouldn't work with it? Thanks for any info/experiences you folks have!
No one has any info for me?
I browsed around to see if i found anything on this also but i don't think it's possible since it's not a A/V port of any sort. as far as your second Q: The splitter would only be that; something to add additional port's on the device. ie: Since it's connected thru the Micro-sub and the splitter has a mini(assuming)-usb port, it can therefore be charged, Also add's an extra audio jack. (just examples)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks for the response. It may be that the HD2 by itself may not have line audio or any video out signal tied to the micro-USB port, but just the fact that that splitter exists for earlier HTC phones' mini-USB ports gives me hope that the line audio pin out is there. I mean, I'm not an electronics wiz by any stretch, but I think mini and micro USB only require 2 pins for power, right? And there's at least 4 pins there on a micro port.
The older HTC phones used the mini-USB compatible extUSB interface-where the top portion of the connector did the duty as the USB interface and the bottom portion of the connector was the audio interface. Between everyone hating to have a dongle to the emergence of microUSB as the industry standard put extUSB on the road to extinction.

Thanks for that. Makes sense, since they decided (for some stupid reason) to not add a 3.5 mm headphone jack to those phones. But what doesn't make sense is how they can give these newer phones great hardware, and tout their multimedia capabilities, and yet not add a functionality that Apple has had built in since their first iPhone. That's the main reason I still use it: because I don't want to carry two devices around.
I have a car pc with a 7" touch screen. I was wondering if the HTC Sensation HDMI mirroring...will I be able to use the touch screen of the car pc instead of the phone?
Thanks...
HDMI doesn't work like that.
[email protected]!!! That would be sweet if it did.
The Sensation doesn't have an HDMI port but MHL (USB) for HDMI quality output. May need an adapter or dongle
Google it and there is a demo somewhere, forgot where I saw it at
Connected htc One to TV via mhl to HDMI. Video works fine but audio still from phone speakers. Does the phone support audio out via MHL?
If I connect Galaxy S2 to the same TV with the same cable both audio and video a transmitted to TV.
Possibly you need the 11 pin MHL(Note 2, and S4 I believe), and not the 5 pin(which the S2 uses). I am unsure though as I don't use MHL.
Anyone else care to weigh in on this?
I don't think the One uses 11 pin MHL.... I have had experience with HDMI and linux... My guess is it's the TV or an android setting. lol >.> I know that's not very helpful.
Guess it was an occasual bug. The next day everything worked fine. Hope it wont happen again.
Thanks everyone for support.
So, the phone is faster than towers have had in the past. I know that with the right cable I can get HDMI out to a monitor, but I also want to use a USB card reader and speakers at the some time. Has anyone made a dock that would work for this or have an idea about how to hack one together. I want to make sure the adaptors will pass the signal. Micro USB port replicators? Searching google didn't give me any results.
Also, can you use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the HTC one?
Anyone's 2 cents on this project?
If no one knows I'll start trying to figure it out and update the thread with what works and what doesn't
