You're right about it charging as well. I meant that it won't charge through the HDMI cable...in case it wasn't obvious (it wasn't to me when I first looked at it). But it does look like it supports having the charging cable plugged in, just like Sprint's adapater, but this one is cheaper.

I think it'll work with just an HDMI cable, but will use the phone's battery for power, thus draining it. Just a guess based off what I've read/seems likely though...
