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.

i wish some one finds out how to do this.. but i just did a quick search on google and what i found out was that none of the snap dragon processor based winmo devices do video out
guess ill be keeping my iphone 3gs (cos i need video out )
i just played with the hd2 today and boy im gonna miss not having it

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.
This could be due to the ROM I'm using (Primee-P9 David's mod), but I tried using Rockplayer Lite to watch a video on my TV through HDMI and there was no Audio. Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps there is a setting you are missing (I found rockplayer to be the most problematic player possible for the a500 with the exception of the crappy Acer apps that are preinstalled) - but HDMI carries audio and video only on receivers called HDMI switching or HDMI repeater, from my experience.
Try MX player, and if that fails, try a alternative receiver so we can figure out the source of your problem.

Thanks, I should've tried different apps to see if it was my tablet or the app. It won't be the problem of the receiver, as I'm plugging it straight into a TV :-D. Hoping its not an HDMI cable problem, I just got this cable from monoprice and I don't have another micro HDMI device to check it with. Thanks!

But it might be the problem of the receiver - your TV is acting as a decoder/receiver and depending on what company produced it and what standards it supports......
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
Don't just assume a bad cable before trying a alternative receiver (TV) - plug it into a friends system with known good HDMI and see if that works.
Best of luck, hope you get it working
Well, I've used this HDMI port many times before and it works fine, which is why I was saying that the cable has a possibility of it being bad, but I'll try it on another TV as well just in case.

Always a good idea - that way you know for sure if you have a bad cable.
Hello,
can anyone give me a link (amazon/e-bay) where I can buy audio cables to connect my Q to the hi-fi at home?
I have the hdmi set for the TV but when I am listening to music, I don't want to turn the TV on.
Thanks.
Did anybody have any success with these? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA

do you have your audio routed through your receiver?
Just leave the tv off and turn on the reciever, HDMI will still do audio if there is no target for video.
In fact the Q won't recognize it as a target for video until hdmi shows a target,
I use this method all the time.
Will a usb to optical cable work? If not any other way? Thanks
I have an old samsung surround receiver that only offers 5.1 optical out
Like this
http://www.amazon.com/HiFimeDIY-Sabre-U2-Asynchronous-optical/dp/B00EDHC5YU
or this?

Yes will the Nvidia shield pass the audio through USB?
It's full android. I saw reviews of same using it on android, and I use a DAC (Digital to Analog Convertor) on my shield. I personally have one that's micro usb male to 3.5mm and it works flawlessly. Imediately recoganized, no configuration. I got that edition as I only have 2.1 audio and it was a free extra usb port, plus it works on my phone too. Should work just fine.
What I am looking to do is use one of the usb ports with a converter to analog.

Like a headphone jack? You originally said optical, so I wasn't sure. What type of sound system connector do you need specifically. I'll find one one that's perfect.
Optical
Both of those do optical and should work fine with android.
Thank you very much. I will look for a cheaper option but at least I know what to look for. Thx. These will pass through 5.1 right?
Here is the easiest way to ask. Ok Here is the reciever I have:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/HT-C550/XAA
The only inputs I have are either RCA or optical out from the receiver. Is there any way to connect the shield tv to get 5.1 surround sound? Sorry for not being clear. I am curious to know if the usb port from the nvidia shield will output 5.1. Thank you
Upon further inspection of options, you'll probably be best with something like this. It strips the 5.1 audio from the HDMI, then makes it optical. It's probably the most cost effective solution for true 5.1.

I think the best will be a HDMI to optical box...
Or hope your tv has a sound pass through. and use the tv optical out.

Unfortunately mine does not. I have an old 46" Sammy with excellent colors I don't want to give up. It has an optical port but you only get 2.1 that way.

So with this option I would:
Surround receiver optical into this box optical
Nvidia shield hdmi into box
then box hdmi to tv?

Yep. That just strips the sound from the HDMI, so you can just use the out ports on that for sound and video. It's full 5.1 sound out, and normal HDMI passthrough so you won't lose any quality on video or audio.

It can add some small sound delay still, but less than a USB thing.
But I guess most content on android are in stereo so if you want some 5.1 effect all the time make sure your receiver does some dolby pro logic 2 for a 2.0 to 5.1 effect.

Things like Kodi will, or soon will, do 5.1 on the shield. I'm going to assume that's why this is being asked. That' and the only thing their reciever can accept is 5.1 optical, so either way, it's what they want.
EDIT: Checked up on it. It does support 5.1 audio with the lastest version.

Yes kodi, vlc,and most local video player support 5.1 and 7.1 content, but apps like YouTube,daily motion,some streaming tv/anime/movies apps and maybe popcorn time and Netflix,or some games and music streaming apps like spotify only use 2.0 sound.
In this case a dolby pro logic 2 mode is cool for a "all time" 5.1 sound mode if you see what I mean :laugh:
I use a HDMI pioneer receiver and it is really good one because it can switch from full Dolby digital 5.1 mode to Dolby pro logic 2 by itself if it detect 2.0 output.
Shield TV update 2.0 added support for USB to optical dongles.
"Supports USB-S/PDIF dongles and enables users to connect SHIELD to older sound bars and audio receivers."
Hello All,
I bought a nexus player hoping to setup Kodi and watch through BenQ projector and Yamaha V667 receiver but have run into issues. I apologize if this has been asked and answered before but could not find anything that helped.
When i connect my nexus player to HDMI port (tried different ports and cables) if wont detect it and Benq keeps saying Source searching. Using the same ports in the receiver, i am able to connect Roku, Blu ray player as well as my laptop. If i connect NP directly to HDMI port in BenQ projector it works as well.
Can anyone please help in resolving this issue for me...really appreciate any help i can get.
Update 1: So i did one last test that i forgot to do earlier. I played a video and then tried to play around with switching HDMI ports. So it seems like that that audio is passing through receiver just fine, but no picture. Anyone know why yamaha won't show picture ...i read that earlier (last year) there was an issue but read reports that they were fixed. Any thoughts ???
Please close this thread, i found the solution. Had to update firmware on my receiver.
