MHL Adapter

Just wondering which MHL adapters everyone is using with there Vivid...just a FYI i bought this one...
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0380508
and it does not work with our phones. Just wanting to get a list of ones that for sure work and dont. Would save time for others later. Thanks

My job (I sell cellphones at Fry's Electronics) carries a similar item... not sure if it'll work. If I end up buying it then i'll confirm it here.
Item: http://www.frys.com/product/6716385?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

There are several on Amazon that work pretty well. You're better off sticking with an official HTC mhl adapter. I tried an mhl with a power pass through earlier this week and it was a no go. Its trial and error

I know. I would just like to make a list of known ones that work, to keep people from having to purchase multiple $15 adapters. It adds up fast

I bought the one from fry's a week or so ago. Works great.

I guess I'll let ya know after Christmas since it's all sold out since I put the link. Wasn't when I originally put it up. Oh well. maybe I'll spend the extra 10 to get the other one from fry's. The monoprice one was tested on evo 3d in the video I think.. can't rem for sure tho.

quality was decent, i didnt really do any extensive testing.. i downloaded a $.99 SD quality movie from the market and watched it, i wanted to make sure it worked. It was good enough to satisfy my needs. I will probably try one of the HD movies soon. Overall i am satisfied with it.

This is what I got, works flawlessly on the Vivid, quality is great.

So did you had chance to try to HD video? How did it trun out when you play the 1080p?

I can only tell the playback of what I recorded with the phone's camera (1280x720) settings, the output is very clear and good quality.

It works great with HD content!

Is there a trick to getting the HDMI output to work or is it just really picky about the adapters. I purchased an Accell MHL to HDMI at Fry's (link in beginning of thread) and I'm not seeing anything.

It has the same processor as the GNex, with an open source operating system. Full Android will probably be running on it within a month. Sounds better than a smart tv in a much more aesthetically pleasing device with nfc.

It is aesthetically pleasing. Why would I need Android in a tv box when I have it in my hand? Short of a DVR function, the only thing I need it to do is wirelessly stream media from my hand to the TV. $99 is the price point for that, not $299. And I was never sold on the "everybody can use it" thing either, unless I'm coming to your house and jacking your stereo lol.

Yeah the everybody can use it thing is bs. I just like the idea of a Pseudo android device that I can use my phone and tablet as a wireless control for without having to use proprietary apps.

The Q is on my list. Its pretty neat but with my mhL adapter and mk802 android mini PC I'm not needing it just yet.

I think the price will drop when it released, most companys list the price high before it get released and in mine country it's listed for 60$.
Think that will be normal price all around, since mine country are known for high price on everything and specially compared to US. Except if order direct from Samsung website and it will cost 99$. Since Samsung have a promote code for 50% and Im sure teh dock will cost around 45$ at store when it released.

The correct question is: Does it include Ubuntu?

I don't have one but am very interested in one. Where did you get yours for 35% off?

I have it. Sometimes the hdmi doesn't work. I have to take off and put back on. Otherwise its great. Not $100 worth so im glad I didn't pay full price, but very handy at work and home.

What does this dock do differently? I got a cheap dock on Amazon that works great for me.

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.
