Finally, Micro HDMI Adapters!!

Its also avl. Drom telesales(sprint)
*This was posted from my Evo 4G*

Kinda pricey.

Since I already have a micro HDMI to standard HDMI male, I went with a pass thru standard female HDMI to standard female HDMI for $1.50 shipped.

nice find! i'll bite from the seller with no feedback, eBay protection has us covered anyway

don't forget 8% off with bing cashback if you pay with paypal. take advantage of it while you can, it ends at the end of the month.

Great find! Def going to grab one!

I'm in for one as well, altho I ordered from the seller that had some feedback (40-something), so if I don't get it soon I'll be back ASAP to find out if you guys got yours. I'll let ya know how it goes either way, I hadn't even seen the thread when I jumped on it, I saw the link on one of the older threads about HDMI cables.

I really wanted this for traveling, even tho chances are I won't use it much, at 'least I'll have the option of using the EVO's HDMI-out without having to carry another HDMI cable. I already carry a standard HDMI cable that I can use for my laptop and for my camera (with an adapter as well). I don't mind the 90 degree angle as much as the size, looks pretty big, we'll see.

Does the Evo have a micro hdmi or a mini hdmi connector........never mind

Micro HDMI, otherwise known as Type D (mini is Type C)... Hence why we need this, and why finding the proper cable was such a pain initially (unless you wanted to pay 3-4x what it's worth at the Sprint store or Best Buy).

There was a third seller with these adapters at some point on Ebay btw, the link in the thread I alluded to before pointed to that seller... Apparently he's out, and the seller I got it from has sold at 'least one of 'em (it's in his feedback), so there's already a few people out there that has tried it out, heh. FWIW

Hard to tell from that pic, but think that we'll be able to use the micro-usb to charge the phone at the same time? That device looks bulky to me

^^^^

Exactly what I was thinking.

I would get the cable. That bulky thing will probably snap off your HDMI port.

is there enuff room to plug in the power cable too? cuz u will need it fo sho!

I got the angled one today, have you guys gotten yours? I think we ordered from different sellers... I'm surprised I got it this quick, must've made it from HK to Puerto Rico in just over a week! I briefly tested it this afternoon, the pics in the gallery and videos shot with the phone itself displayed perfectly on my Vizio HDTV using some cheap HDMI cable I had lying around.

It seemed like it wasn't gonna work when I first got into the gallery, but once you click on slideshow or playback the output comes up on the TV and you get some controls on the EVO. A notification also shows up on your EVO's notification shade when you hook up the cable btw, and an HDMI icon stays up there until the cable's unplugged.

I forgot to test it with YouTube, I'll get to it later and report...

I can hook up the angled HDMI adapter at the same time as a retractable USB cable that has a pretty slim plug btw, but the fit is really really snug, I wouldn't wanna use it like that all the time, YMMV. I actually went ahead and ordered the non-angled one you posted too, I figure I'll toss that one on my travel bag and I'll leave the other one at home.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

The angled one plugs in securely and it doesn't feel like it's gonna damage the port at all unless you yank on it like a savage, but the angle w/the cable coming at you is pretty awkward, if it was angled in the opposite direction it'd be more natural... You could hold the EVO parallel to the ground and have the cable go straight down. I guess if you were gonna lay it down on it's screen this would be fine but then you have no access to playback controls.

Oh and I can plug in the angled adapter with a TPU case just fine, the TPU cases have a pretty minor edge/lip around the ports tho. I can try it later w/the Sprint silicon gel if anyone's interested, or I can post a pic of the small plug on my retractable USB cable. I'm pretty sure the OEM cable wouldn't fit alongside it, since it has a much wider edge around the plug.

Alright, here's some of the retractable USB cable I mentioned that I was able to plug in a the same time as the adapter... If you want to see a pic of both of 'em plugged into my EVO simultaneously lemme know and I'll get my camera and take one later (I took these w/the EVO itself).

The original EBay listings have been updated w/more pics of the angled adapter than what they had when I originally ordered it, but at this point I'd just go w/the straight one, even tho I don't think it has any less of an edge than the angled one.

They both look pretty thick, if you're gonna be playing full length movies off your EVO you might just wanna charge it beforehand.

If anyone is looking to sell their angled one to replace with a straight one, shoot me a PM .

Yikes, I'd be scared to hold it like that! I'll have to try the OEM cord at some point, maybe I had the wrong impression and it's actually got less of a border than the retractable one I was testing with. Just bought an extra 6-ft red HDMI cable off MonoPrice for like $5 shipped, cheapest I could find it locally was $20, can't believe they still sell for that much, sigh.
