Video OUT

Is there any way to see my EVO on my HDTV through the HDMI output besides just watching videos or viewing pics from my phone> Meaning , can I surf the net and watch streaming videos and see it on my HDTV? I have the adapter but it only lets me view videos I have stored on the phone. I want to see everything my phone is doing on the TV screen with the HDMI out if it's possible. Thanks

Re: Video OUT

From what I've read, no, there is no program on the market or 'hack' that allows a HDMI cable from your phone to your TV to emulate whatever is on your phone. There is a program for the Droidx, if I remember correctly, that does do just that. For some reason I can't remember the name of it, but I'm sure a quick google search would find it rather quickly.

Re: Video OUT

I find this puzzling as well. Is the problem with Android? Seeing as how that is a feature even my Touch Pro2 has, though not HDMI.

Re: Video OUT

No its not an issue with android, if I remember correctly its got to do with the Evo's internal make-up. Devs are working on a complete overhaul to allow the Evo to output any screen to a TV via the HDMI port. If it were an android issue the Droidx wouldn't have a app out for it.

Re: Video OUT

the program for the droidx is called RealHDMI, I tried it out on my Evo and it didn't work. Upon further research, the developer of the program said he looked into porting it for the Evo but HTC handles the HDMI output differently than Motorola does and it needs a total redo. He said he doesnt have an Evo and probably won't invest the time to work on it. We need someone to step up!

FWIW, I got a hold of certain apps that were ported from some other carrier's android phones (hockey and football) and these programs worked using the HDMI output when viewing condensed games or live streaming tv networks.

Re: Video OUT

I know this is old but I am wondering if there is a fix or program to make this work?

Re: Video OUT

Its kind of strange why HTC would go backwards with their technology. Why would they make the TP2 capable of this ability{even though it wasnt hdmi} and not think that we would want the same for our evo's. Its obviously able to be done seeing that it works for the droidx. Some department for HTC dropped the ball....

Program being worked on right now on XDA. Should happen at some point. He has a video playing Angry Birds on it on page 10 or 11 of the thread. Its XDA>EVO>Development don't feel like looking for it.

Re: Video OUT

I don't know anything really... but the reason we have issues with HDMI is probably because of DRM! Which is the reason blu-ray players don't play on certain TV's using HDMI because of updated standards... That's the ONLY reason I can think of because you're right, even the touch pro had tv out!... but that wasn't HD right? :P
