Hey, for those of you who have yet to buy the MHL cable, I got a link to a coupon from the xda forums for 50% off at t-mobile stores. You can get the cable there.

Coupon link:

I'm not sure if the coupon HAS to be in-store, but here is a link to an adapter (won't allow charging at the same time like the one available from Sprint, linked earlier in this thread, will)

I am pretty sure the Tmobile adapter will also charge the phone when using (when charger is hooked up), I think it has to be plugged in to a charger to even work in the first place?

T-Mobile, 20 bucks for the adapter if you hate shipping.

Ok, now I am confused. I thought the fact that it is a MHL adapter would mean that it will charge from the tv (when available)? I don't see ever using this phone with a tv that actually does this, but if I buy an adapter, I would like it to do what it is supposed to.

Be sure to use the instore coupon I linked in this thread!! Print it out and go in store to get it for around $10 at T-Mobile. Before 7/31.



The adapter is so you can use a regular HDMI cable with a TV that isn't MHL capable; it is just going to send out regular HDMI signals. Then you plug your charger into the side of the adapter (however the adapter is set up for this) so the phone receives power + sends out HDMI signal via the single MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) port. The goal of creating MHL was so mobile devices wouldn't be draining their batteries completely while outputting quality video to a TV/receiver/etc.

With an MHL capable TV, you just need a single MHL cable (micro-USB port to regular HDMI) without any adapter. That cable is made to carry power from the TV to power/charge the phone while the phone sends HDMI signals to the TV. Since the TV will supply the power, no charging cable etc. is needed.

At this point in time, almost everyone will need an adapter to get the signal from the EVO 3D (and SGSII and all phones with an MHL port) to the Hi-Def TV. I believe you could just use a single MHL cable, but the phone won't be receiving power while it is sending out video.

There's a lot of information on the internets, but you can read from the wiki, which reiterates what I said :/

Hope this helps.
