Has anybody tried to do get their X1 talking to a PS3? After all Sony appears in both products names
Well, I was fiddling today and when the phone is in "ActiveSync" mode, the PS3 just says "Unrecognized device" LOL! Windows talking to a PS3, I guess had my hopes set high!
However when you put the phone into "Disk Drive" mode, the PS3 picks up the 8 gig memory card in my phone. From there I could browse / copy all the movies / music / pictures that are on the card with ease straight from the PS3 menu. What's even better is if you have set your phone to save your pictures on your card, the PS3 sees those pictures and lets you browse and copy them to the PS3 hard drive. Nice!
The cable that's supplied with the PS3 for charging of the wireless controllers, works with the phone. So the phone charges off the PS3, and the same cable works on my PC in "ActiveSync" mode. Bonus!
I haven't had time to fiddle with the bluetooth options of the X1 / PS3. I doubt I will be able to get anything out of that anyway!
BT doesn't work.
With ps3 works only HID device and headset.
Lol
As far as the PS3 is concerned, the Xperia is not a brother, infact it's an adopted, outcast, half cousin. They Won't communicate in any meaningful way.
youll need something like the new w995 from sonyericsson which has ps3 support etc
Heh, no way! I am not letting go of my X1 : )
You can do the same things with the Xbox 360 and the 'Disk Drive' mode, also charges from the 360 using the PS3 cable!
just wondering.... how to set X1 to "disc mode"?
where do i go for the settings?
haha
I think they some kind of cousins.
there is one panel in xperia which reminds me of the playstation xmb.
the become closer when you start the usb mode of xperia, then you can your media from your card ^^

Heya
The setting you are looking for is in Start -> Settings -> Connections (tab) -> USB to PC
You will get a screen there that will let you chose between the two connection modes. Be advised however that when in "Disk Drive" mode you will only be able to browse the files on your memory card, and not your phone.
well i connected my X1i to my PS3 in disk drive, and my X1i said it would be recharged but it didin't, so be careful, only connect your X1i to transfer some files to the PS3, anything else isn't going to work out

Has anyone looked into this? With the audio now being output there, is there another pin carrying video that's yet undiscovered? Thanks.
nope no video out from what ive researched. even if there were, its qvga resolution so you are fairly limited.
you could your soti pocket controller to control your pda from your PC, you get a real time feed of you ppc on your pc.
hope this helps.
adios...
It is definitely possible to do it (even that I have no idea how).
Ateksoft has a program called WebCamera Plus which let you use your PDA as real-time webcam.
http://www.ateksoft.com/webcamplus.html
I'm using it on my TyTN and it works great.
using a pda or symbian smart phone as a webcam is possible as the software captures the straming video and transmits its as data packetrs via usb or BT to a PC, in which it is then decoded on the PC and the image/video stream from the camera is formed.
Actual video out (such as that accomplished with notebooks) via usb on the TYTN is another thing - from what I have read it might not be possible.
Anyone seen or tried the MicroSD version of this http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdv.htm ?
its really funny u askd this cus just last night b4 I went to bed, I wondered the same thing
I googled video out via usb and found a 60 dollar cable that converted from standard usb to s-video and audio and I'm sure theres mini-usb to usb converter
=) so hope that helps. I'd look it up but I have no 3g here at my parents lake house =/ I'm connectd over gsm, just got here. I get no umts at all and barely any gsm signal. this craps slow
I looked on the net for the Spectec Video-To-Go microSD Card and found it here
http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=139433&partner=froogle
It's $171.95. this would be great if I was still doing customer presentations.
Please note: This product does not convert the screen’s image into a VGA video signal. ... then what exactly does this do .. has me confused since some time ...
Also, these things require SDIO support .. not sure if TyTN got one ..
It'd be easy enough to emulate VGA on your device and use that for presentations, but your limitation is lack of an I/O to the graphic chip. As such, you're stuck with streaming the display data, which will be slow (for games), but perhaps perfectly fine for a slideshow.
Next prob though is the hardware - you can stream from device to device, but not stream from device to a (mini-usb) wire to a projector etc - at least the hardware issues are well beyond my experience.
A streaming projector might be a good solution. But all in, I think you're generally stuck for a cheap solution to outputing video over USB without a surrogate device in the middle. And if you're gonna have a surrogate, you might as well use that as the display device.
Check out nyditot for a VGA emulator.

May I suggest a better way? Simply install PC-based Powerpoint viewer on storage card. That way you merely need to drop your card into an USB SD reader, connect the reader to any host PC, and run your presentation. I do this often and avoid traveling with my laptop.

One reason I've always disliked the Ateksoft solution is that it requires installation of Ateksoft magicry on the PC. A true webcam solution should simply make the PPC act like a dumb webcam, piping the audio and video to the USB. We've all experienced those cheap webcams which you just plug in to your USB port, and MSN or Yahoo or whatever can pick up the device as an audio/video webcam, no installation of drivers required.
Software which does for webcam what Softick does for USB mass storage is what I'm after...
You didn't say what you wanted by 'video out'.. but I can tell you there aren't any 'unused' pins in the USB pinout. They're all audio or usb data. If the TYTN supported usb on the go (which it doesn't seem to) then you might see it turn into a mass storage device or webcam easily..
But for the moment, no, theres no pins to tap a composite or vga signal off of. I highly doubt the device has such a chip on board.
eh, I wanted to output video to my car A/V system. since I can sync the video on my device to my media center, that would be the easiest way to take shows to my car. so the streaming or flash solutions really don't address the problem for me...thanks for all of the thinking on it, though
ditto here

That's the kinda stuff i've always wanted e.i. connecting my PDA to the SVideo Input of my car screen.
Seems "easy" to do with activesync, but seems to cause trouble because of the lack of video stream on usb pinout.
I'm just letting out an idea : Might be possible to emulate an activesync connection and capture the sreeen of the PDA and broadcast it out on svideo.
(don't ask, I don't even have a clue of how to do that)
SOTI Pocket controler and My Mobiler can do that, any chance someone find out a way ?
TY Guys, have fun
I tried and nothing either active sync nor Internal Storage.
Thats kind o sucks.
Other experiences?
huh? What exactly are you trying to do by connecting your diamond to ur 360? if u use it as a storage drive it should work(obviously for storage).
So the question is what are you wanting to do?
You should bought a PS3
You can connect it, save your games in your phones, transfer music, photos, videos, movies, etc
I use it this way and I love it, just as simple to plug and have fun
My Diamond works perfectly on my 360, for videos, music and picture when you set it to "Internal Storage" for the connection.

I cant live with out Gear of War and Forza2.
I don't know if this will help, but try different USB ports. The first time I connected my diamond, the Diamond didn't recognize it was connected to a device. After that, the popup for ActiveSync/Internal Storge/Internet Share comes up and you should choose Internal Storage. It should show up in the as a media source immediately after that.
Good luck!
most car stereos today have a USB in for connecting an IPod, Zune, whatever.
do these work with the TP2?

Probably yes (haven't tried it myself), but when you connect your TP2 to an USB-host (which the car stereo is), the TP2 asks you which mode you want (Active Sync, Disk Drive or Internet Sharing). If you select Disk Drive, the microSD card shows up as a diskdrive in windows (or your car stereo...)
Yup, what andrehj says.
All devices that show up as Mass Storage will definately work on car stereo's. Worked on mine. But I never use it. Because mine has Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP support (stereo streaming). It works flawlessly.
No wires for me. Except the charger itself. xD
Simultaneous program access?
I can confirm that the TP2 works in drive mode as an input for a car stereo. However it appears the phone restricts access to the storage card in this mode and programs cannot access it, which means things like TomTom cannot access maps.
Does anyone know a way around this? Is it a WinMo restriction or something else?
Please specify "drive mode"?
I've used mine playing music through A2DP in combination with Tomtom Navigator 7 + Benelux maps.
The only downside I experienced was that the Tomtom voice was much louder than the music I played. Thus when adjusting the music volume to a much louder level, that Tomtom woman scares the heck outta me. Like when needed to take a turn, it's more like "GO LEFT!!!!!! W$E%T#@$%[email protected](#%|(!# ". In between the music.
No problem with tomtom reading the maps though.
'Drive mode' via USB
Thanks Crix84. By 'drive mode' I meant the Disk Drive mode that you can select when connecting via USB. I expect accessing via the BT profile is quite different which is why things work for your setup.
That TT girl would be scary at high volume!
Ohhh okay now I understand. You mean't the mass storage function I was talking about in a previous post of mine.
Well for what I've found and experienced. That mode makes the phone really function like a USB stick aka Mass Storage Device. At that moment only the MicroSD card is blocked from access within the phone. For what I know, the driver used for Mass Storage (any windows system or other) is a standardized universal driver. Wich means it must be as illogic to access the card both from within the phone and the computer/car-radio through USB at the same time. Like using 1 usb stick on 2 pc's by using a usb splitter. Device in use means in use.
Active Sync in the other hand uses a different kind of USB connection. It accesses the phone itself, through that, the card. Mass Storage is a direct function to the microsd card. Kind of a bypass. For compatibility issues. When you just want to put something on your card without the hassle of installing drivers (on old pc's) etc. Wich would really mean that the maps on the card for Tomtom are inaccessible. That would really be indeed a problem. The only solution for that is either use the phone as I do. Bluetooth A2DP not available? Then the car-audio system should change the access mode to the phone. Maybe an active sync like solution/connection. Problem is most manufacturers do that. Thinking of only using a USB stick on the radio. Mine does that too. Only mass storage devices are accepted through my radio's usb.
I have a rooted mytouch 3g that I am trying to get my xbox to recognize through the USB on the xbox. The phone recognizes the USB and offers to Mount. The X-box does nothing. Even in the dashboard where you would normaly play music from a phone it doesnt show the USB as being connected. What do I need to make this work?????
Mytouch 3g
rooted
ROM: CyanogenMod-4.2.8
wait im confused... u want to install drivers on an xbox 360?
haha no......
I want to hook mytouch to the xbox 360 and play my music.
Simply put you cant.
The xbox is supose to see your mem card as a mass storage device, but M$ is kinda strict about what can be showed as a Mass Storage Device on the xbox.
I did the same thing to my xbox and no luck. I tried it again with my PS3 and worked perfectly. I was even able to get my video to play on the PS3 and even copy the music/mp3 to the system.
It a problem on M$ end.
The GNote is dlna compliant is it not?
So I'm wondering why when I connect to my dlna samsung tv, the only drive I can see browsing via the tv is the 2.8 gb phone root.
I have no access to the 11gb extended phone memory or the sd card.
Has anyone managed to connect to their dlna tv and access all their memory locations?
And if so can you please explain how you did it?
Heres hoping.
I'm bumping this topic back to the front page to keep it current.
I was honestly expecting to find all the phones drives by simply connecting to my dlna tv with usb.
This is such a handy feature of dlna that I feel it must be do'able with the GNote, what with it being dlna certified, that I can't help but feel that it must be something that I am not doing or doing wrong.
I could browse and play all the media files, including the sd card on my old HD2 through my tv simply by attaching the phone to the tv via a usb cable.
I cant however with the sammy.
Here is hoping that some Guru can pin this down.
Regards.
DLNA is wireless media streaming there is no USB connection involved
Try the Allshare app included

What no direct cable connection? I clearly need to brush up on my wifi.
Was looking for the functionality of simply plugging my device into the tv then accessing the memory of the phone and playing the media while charging the unit. Seems to me that there is a trick there that's been missed.
Dank U wel for your response wonderwout, I'll investigate this further.

For getting media on your tv quick Allshare over wifi is pretty good. Start a media file on your phone when in the player hit "share" from the menu and select Allshare. It will ask you to select a target device, select your tv and your set. You need to have it all on same network off course.
can anyone post dlna.apk from stock rom, please?

Yes sir, you are right DLNA isnt wifi specific though. DLNA only means media over network, be it cable or wireless doent matter. But it doesnt cover usb/mass storage mode file access.
But plugging in the note and chosing to allow usb access should put up two drives, one being the internal 16gig flash memory and a second one representing the sd card. I reckon your TV is not able to access two drives and instead just mounts the first one available with no way to switch.
If possible, update TV firmware and also, if possible, use DLNA. The TV needs network cspabilities for thst to work though...

When I connect my note to my PS3 using ALL SHARE, I am able to see the note on the PS3 menu. I am even able to play videos on the PS3 wirelessly. But I am not able to see the PS3 on the ALL SHARE app in the note. All it shows is No Device.
What am I doing wrong?

I think that PS3 is only a dlna client and not a server.
