Question [Q]HDMI?

Maybe it's stupid, but I was wondering if there is a cable that starts with our mini usb port and ends with the HDMI port so I can connect it to my new TV? Thank you in advance.

Yes, there is such a cable (see This) but it would be useless, since the HD2 does not currently support it (both software and hardware).

You can probably find one on eBay or Amazon

The HD2 would need to support MHA to send HDM over micro-USB whick requires hardware and software. I've got an MHA cable on its way so will check it on the HD2 anyway and update.

No MHL in HD2. The HD2 still fights as a near-perfect device but a lack of any easy video output is indeed a missed feature. No cable in android or WM will work, many of us have tried. As jianC said above, it's both a hardware and software problem.

There are 2 ways I know of to output video from the HD2:
  1. The Kensington Displaylink USB adapter, used with a compatible Linux desktop OS install on our HD2 (Ubuntu or Debian).
  2. The Windows Phone 7.8 USB video out software on PC (check the WP7 forum).

There are likely some networked screen mirroring tools that I'm not familiar with as well.

I keep an eye on the Debian/Ubuntu forums regularly for progress on the USB video out they got working on our HD2. If a DisplayLink USB Linux driver can be written to work on Android we all will be quite fortunate.
