    If so, how has your experience been with it?

    I bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005F9W6DU/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details and it's supposed to be pretty good. I hook up the usb end of the adapter to the phone, hdmi end + cable to the hdmi slot on the tv, hook up the external power source to the other usb slot on the adapter. Yet, whenever I play videos (tried several players from the market) the video keeps going in and out. My phone keeps playing the whole time this is happening, but it's like the signal to my TV is disrupted somehow either via the adapter, phone itself, or the HDMI cable.

    I'm using just a 6' cable, so signal degradation shouldn't be a problem. Also, the TV is only 24'' so it's not as if I'm trying to port the video to a 55'' plasma.

    Anyone else try these adapters and/or experience this? Frustrating.

    yeah, that's the problem. it seems to be working for quite a few people. I can't quite figure it out. :(

    actually, i just read through all the pages in the thread. I saw another person with the same issue.
    It might be the cable brand? Sorry, unfortunately I didn't order one so I can't test for you but I do plan on getting one so I will then

    my bad late on being late to the party, haven't heard anything about the adapter/cable. Kinda feel dumb that I actually didn't realize it didn't have an HDMI port until I go the device.

    No worries man. Appreciate the reply. Technically it doesn't right? It has the micro USB port and this voodoo black magic MHL technology :)

    The HTC one at t-mobile is confirmed to work. There is a 30% off accessories coupon floating around to. I might just pick it up since this device can play 1080p mkvs with ease.
