So you do get video out from the flyer through the usb port using a mhl cable but it flickers? That is an interesting find.

Possible soluton to fix flicker using MHL cable...

Hi Kirbo,

Have you considered going into your advanced monitor/graphics settings? I don't know if this will work for the Flyer, but for my set up, I have dual 23" monitors, one hooked up to my laptop via HDMI and the other via VGA. Once in a while, my left monitor, the one with the HDMI flickers.

The reason it flickers is that it somehow reverts to 30hz instead of 60hz. I can fix in a few seconds by changing it back to 60hz. You may want to try that... Just a suggestion.

I am curious now about either finding an HDMI docking station or one of those MHL cables you speak of.

Take care!

the adapter from the infuse should work just fine. there was a YouTube review showing that they used the infuse MHL adapter with the flyer and it worked just fine.

I have tested it with the adapter from the Infuse and it worked just fine for me. The adapter requires power, which is provided by the charger that came with the Infuse. The Flyer projects better video than the Infuse, at least for the apps. Angry Birds looked real nice on a large screen TV. I have not messed with any of the video settings.

The MHL adapter for the Sensation from TMobile works great.

You need to have a micro usb charger plugged in though.

No flickering. Woohoo

Would this work? Only $25 on Amazon... (Not in stock right now.)

http://www.amazon.com/Accell-J135-0...N9NA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310077697&sr=8-1

(EDIT: Apparently it will not... MicroUSB vs ExtMicroUSB on the Flyer.)

I'm a little frustrated with accessory availability for my Flyer... Can't find the white dock, can't find the MHL adapter... (And if you can, the prices are kind of a rip-off.)

I ended up ordering the Fujitsu pen for $27 shipped from B&H. Screw $60+.

(P.S. Where is my Honeycomb update that is coming "shortly after launch.")

/rant :)

damn, I could not see any video signal. I know that it need a power, but plugging in a microsb cable from a pc or a power adapter (I used a motorola one) his led does not power on, but on the flyer "blink" the sign "hdmi connected".

Expansys told me that this adapter is NOT compatible with my Flyer.
I'm really sad, I don't know if I can try to find a proper power adapter to make it work.

I found something similar to this on Amazon yesterday... It was black, and HTC branded. Oddly, I can't find it now, but I can't remember the verbage I used in my search. If I find it again, I'll post it.

    Did you step back and try it direct to an HDMI TV first?
    Did you try the Strock HC ROM?

    That's the problem, i have not hdmi tv. But somehow the monitor receive some signal as but it's blank screen.

    Does the mhl connector work like plug and play? Or do i need to set it some where?

    I had a similar problem. Apparently, some MHL adapters (or it may be the device, i dunno) require you to have some power running to the device before the output will work. Try running your power cable into the adapter and see if it starts working.

    @indiziert ... i've always understood you need to have the htc power supply powering any MHL device otherwise it won't work due to lack of power funnily enough. i guess it's a safeguard to stop the tablet/phone running out of juice half-way through a show/whatever since it's clearly a drain. i've a generic mhl device (amazon £10) which simply doesnt work until the power cord is attached. i've used both htc & generic usb power sources successfully. hope that helps.

    I disagree with your conjecture. Either the adapter accepts MHL and converts to HDMI or it doesn't. There is no half-way or partial conversion. Its a digital signal, there is no in between. So it will generate a 720P HDMI digital signal. If your VGA converter can handle that, then it will work. If you tried to view the Flyer on a HD HDMI TV and it works, it works. I think your problem is more likely the HDMI to VGA conversion. 720P HDMI is not exactly compatible with Analog VGA and even less likely compatible with a converter. Where PCs can change resolution and go to a lower VGA compatible screen resolution to match a VGA projector, the Flyer cannot change screen resolution or size. If your projector expects standard VGA or 480I signals, then the Flyer cannot generate such a signal without a down-converting box. My generic MHL adapter works with all 6 of my HD TVs , 4 different brands and my LCD computer monitor (HDMI) and my companies projector (HDMI). I just tried it with Coolext's latest HC ROM on the Flyer and its plug and play. Hook it up and it works, no setting changes, no hassle.
