Is it possible to connect an htc hd2 to a tv?

not at present, no.

it is possible for other HTC devices however the usb on te hd2 is different (much smaller) thats why you cant.

tv out

i'm pretty sure the answer's gonna be 'no' but;
can this touch pro tv out cable be used on the touch cruise, i'm assuming not but anyone know if this be hardware and drivers/software or just drivers/software, in which case can we get the appropriate software/drivers from a dumped rom and adapt?

cheers
(sorry for posting accessory query here, but there's hardly any viewers in there!)
YES
Well the Pro has the same Input as TC, so it should be not a Problem to use.
You dont need any special Software, but the Device you want to connect should have Plug&Play Support to recognize the TC.
And if no Plug & Play Support on the TV, you will defitly need a Driver for that, but every new TV has the P&P Support. I dont think that you use a 10 Years old TV

Erm... you've got UDK r9??
are you sure, only you're saying that because the connectors are the same it will, but the touch pro has the same mini usb connector as many devices/predecessors such as TC P3650 and ARTEMIS P3300 but only the latest edition - the pro - is shown on the htc site as having tv out. also
you don't sound as though you're speaking from having tried it first hand.
sorry it's just the cable costs 15-20GBP which is a fair whack if it doesn't

TC has same input as PRO?
We are talking about output here and just about every HTC phone I have used has the 11 pin mini usb plug, so does that mean every HTC has TV out?
If that is the case why has HTC not release the cable before?

Not too mention modern Motorola phones as well as many peripherials, and I don't think it would be smart to assume they have TV out as well when paired with this cable.
anyone with an excess of cash (i.e. rich) - buy a cable and try it please!

usb internet dongle to htc touch is is possible

is it possible to connect a usb internet dongle via an adapter to htc touch to browse the internet . my htc is not unlocked so i cant put the three network sim card into the phone so i just wondered if it possible ?
thanks
I'm a bit of a newb, but if you flash your ROM I think you'll lose all mobile locks - try Dutty's or Miri's as I can vouch they're both stable and feature-packed, but there's a lot of choice out there
no currently it don't support usb host which is required to use other usb devices
only 2 htc devices support usb host don't seem to be a priority for htc
cheeers for the replies . it cleared that up for me
you dont lose all mobile locks when you flash your rom?

I am also interested by that.
Any ideas?
Basically, I would like to know if TV out is possible to connect it to my car entertainment device that I am planning to buy :
Din 1, 7 inch with DVD, GPS, Bluetoth, USB.
This will transform this device to a mobile device with a large screen from where I can surf, chat, play games etc...(launch all apps from the HTC HD2)
Any ideas?
It's not possible. Sorry, but it really is that simple.
Thanks for the answer.
Is this because of the harware that does not support it or is it because there is no driver developped by HTC?
i really think thats a driver problem only Maybe there is a way to stream video signal over wifi or bluetooth? it's kinda strange thing to do but i think it's possible using a software?
I read in a forum that via the 3,5mm jack it might be possible to video out (it was for another phone).
If Hardware does not support it via micro USB, we are stuck I guess,
If it is a driver issue, xda gurus might develep one,
If micro USB does not support it, what about the 3,5 mm jack?
I am not an expert at all, but I am just brainstorming...
Any thoughts?
This is the message I got rom HTC Support
Thank you for your enquiry about HTC HD2
To answer question 1 and 2, the HD2 does not support video out as it does not have a built in video out socket nor would you be able to achieve this via the 3,5mm jack.
It is not a built in function to handle this via bluetooth I could only suggest you try to look up some 3rd party program, but I could not provide support for this.
Best regards,
Dennis

Well actually, the HD2 does support video out! Using myMobiler you can display in full screen on your PC what's going on on your HD2. And if in turn, you connect your PC to your TV you could also watch your HD2 on your 50'' Full HD TV screen
OK, I'm joking here, the quality would be terrible, but still, it goes to show that it's possible to have video come out from the micro USB port and be displayed on a much larger screen, so maybe someone will go one step further!

I basically wanted to connect my HD2 to a Car Entertaniement device which has a 7 inch touch-screen, 'genre auto-radio', (7 ' Din1, DVD, GPS, Bluetooth, USB) in order to take advantage of all features/applications from the HTC (Google maps, dictionnaires, enclyclopedia, 3G, opera, chat etc).
Mymobiler will not help at all.
The HTC Touch Pro supports the video-out; The HTC DH2 does not support it as it is now. I have seen on http://wmpoweruser.com/ a guy making a video out cable for this LG eXpo. Check the video. Why can't we do it?
It shouldn't be difficult to make a video out cable...
Via a redfly?
If you were really committed, you could grab a Celiocorp Redfly, wait until they release the HD2 driver, then use the media cable to output to video...
Then, for the transmission of the video, you could use either bluetooth or micro-USB.
So it's technically possible with the right hardware...
The closest thing you'll get to TV out on the HD2 is the ability to set it as a media server, but that will require some kind of media browser client. I've done this with my PS3 and a Nokia N95, but the software is currently under development for the WM platform.
See here...
http://mobileosgi.blogspot.com/2009/08/dlna-media-server-for-smart-phones.html
Incidentally, they use a PS3 on the demo video, but that is not required. Also, you can use this to stream video, not just pictures.
problem is
phones that output through the 3.5 jack have an extra connector inside the socket to carry the image channel so there is no way to adapt a standard 3.5 output to carry video regardless of software. (not taking mine apart to look if its 2 or 3 chanel of course hehe)
as for through the usb im less sure but i'd guess it would only be able to send to host devices and not client peripherals. course, I'd be more than happy to be told otherwise.

The processor has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the device can output video. It needs specific hardware to do this and it is not included in this device, neither through the USB port or the 3.5mm jack socket.
It is 100% impossible to implement a "fix" for this with software because the device simply does not have the hardware required.
Actually, Snapdragon processors DO support TV-Out. The Acer s200 (neo touch) and Toshiba TG01 both run on Snapdragon and support TV-Out. What I think the problem is, is that the hardware is there, but HTC just haven't implemented it. Meaning that they simply have not connected the function. Which is actually a shame as this was the only thing the pushed me away from this spectacular device and choose the Omnia B7610 instead, because it is a better all round device.

You need a lot more than just processor support for TV out functionality, so the hardware is not there. Some of it is, but only 1 small part.
Exactly! That's why I was disappointed with the HD2. Seeing as Acer and Tosh both implemented the tv out functionality from the core, why didn't HTC do the same? Surely it wouldn't cost them THAT much more would it?
As far as I understand, this is a hardware related issue and not driver related? If it is driver related, I am sure one day this driver would be coded and made available in this forum.
I was palnning to video out to my car DVD entertainment touch screen device in order to be able to use google maps, opera, dictionnaries etc..
This plan will ne be feasible then...
You can use the hd2 as an usb-stick. With that function i can view movies and listen to music on my Alpine touchscreen radio.

[Q] USB cabel for magic

i have an old HTC magic ( 32a ) with a custom rom on it. Because i got my self an iphone 3gs i want to sell my magic now.
but before i want to put the original rom from HTC on it again.
my little problem is that i can find the usb cabel that came with the phone.
but i have an usb cabel i used for an usb hub that fits the mini usb in the phone.
Should i not be able to use this cabel to connect and sync my magic ( when i connect it to the pc, it finds the phone but only to be used as a storage device ) in HTC sync it´s not registered
Hope you can help me. and sorry if i put this in the wrong forum
any mini usb cable will work. i lost my cable that came with my phone months ago, been using a standard mini usb fine. although i dont use HTC sync, im fairly sure any mini usb will work, do you have another you can try?
i got an mini usb i use for to charge my headset for my ps3 could try that.
but dont understand why i can´t get htc sync to see my phone.
I have the newest htc sync installed so it should run fine on windows 7 x64 with out doing anything special or iam i wrong ?
hmm it should be fine.. but again ive never used htc sync... maybe look at there FAQ and see if there is no issues with win7 and sync.
talk to there customer support?? i really cant see it being the cable..
EDIT: ahh.. just read you are running a custom rom
i heard that people who run cyanogenmod cannot use htc sync, i believe it relies heavily on the htc framework which is pulled out of most custom roms.
sense roms appear to work fine however
my guess is thats your issue...
just gonna try a couple of things first and doing some research before i contact thier support
Will try the other cabel tommorow.
Standard USB cables have always worked in the HTC port. The exta side has pins for some kind of add-on (probably headphones or video) that current phones I don't even think use.
I've used the cable for charging my PS3 controller several times for my phone. Did you install HTC Sync after you plugged the phone into your computer the first time? If so you probably need to uninstall the drivers and plug the phone back in to let them reinstall with the HTC Sync provided driver.

from what you guys say it should work then.
I just have to kick my pc then and see if that works
well since your running a custom rom it will be hit or miss
i know on CM6 htc sync does NOT work as it requires the HTC framework which is stripped from the rom
your best bet would be using a rom built off of a legit carrier rom, like one of the rogers rooted roms, or a sense rom as they will have the HTC framework in the rom
so it may work, it may not.... depending on what rom you are on.... so its not your cable...
atm iam running CM 4.2.14.1 ( it says so in about phone ) i know it´s an old rom.

Using a phone as input device

I know you are able to use it as mouse or keyboard replacement for a PC (I assume this covers Mac as well), but how about another Android device?
Here is the thing, I bought an Android-on-a-stick device. You plug it into your TV's HDMI port and have ICS on the screen. Off course, this device doesn't come with any input options, but relies on USB, BT or WiFi for input. Since I have a HTC Desire that I no longer use except as music player, I thought it would be nice if I could incorporate something like GRemote but for another Android device, I suppose primary setup has to through USB, but after that it would be so much easier to use the screen of the Desire. Has anyone accomplished something like this, or are someone working on it and in need of Beta testers?
