Video out?

Does it have it?
Some sites say the specs do, some don't mention it!
Can't get a definitive answer on that one!
Also, if it does : where can I get a cable?
Thanks guys!

I haven't tried myself, but the iPhone and iPod video do it through the headphones socket. you can get a cable that takes this and makes it a yellow RCA cable. you could try one of them?

Interesting question.
But where are settings for video output?

I'd be interested if anyone can prove this? Re-settings...if this is possible then there could be 2 options.. 1. you will only see the settings when it's in "video out" mode.. or it's auto detected and there are no additional settings (as per audio output... )!

i'm really hoping for this but i'm guessing SE would advertise it to their benefit, and afaik they didn't so my hopes are kept rather low...

I've had a guy telling me that he can use TV out on his X10, using a microUSB-3.5mm adapter and the TV out cable from an N900.
i haven't been able to find an adapter that has the extra connector for TV out to try it.

I've got a 3.5mm jack going to red/white audio connectors. If I put one into the video part of the tv wil it play video or is it down to how its wired in?

For video there should be red, white and yellow.

I think X2 uses the 3.5 mm port for video out, and they didn't advertise that.

Yeah, they did. There's a button for it on the keyboard too.
I'm wondering if it has the hardware, but the options aren't there yet, and they might be added along with the HD video recording update.

well it definitely doesn't work at the moment.. just tested it. I have a video and mono audio cable (Yellow and Black).. and also a video with stereo audio cable (Red, white and Yellow)

did you try via the jack or with a 3.5mm adapter?

directly via the jack.. cable was 3.5mm "headphone" style at one end.. and phono at the other.

I tried that with a cable from an N900, doesnt work.
Still trying to find a micro usb to 3.5mm with video.
It seems there are some out there for LG and HTC, it's just getting hold of one to test it!

Hmmm this is interesting..

Just in case... Did you try testing with the Red or White as the video? Some companies have their own way of wiring things so that you have to buy their cables. Most people don't think of just swapping the colours around to get it to work and just fork out for the new cable.

There is a tv-out cable for the droid incredible:
droiddog .com /android-blog /2010 /04 /incredible-tv-out-video-demo
I wonder if this would also work on the X10 and when it will be available.

Mod edit: not (yet) accessories related, moved to general

I just tried my Sony Mini-DV Camcorder cable, and it does not work, the camcorder cable goes from 3.5mm to red/white/yellow

The u8800+ Support TV-OUT,can our U8800 support TV-OUT,anyone can make it work?

here it said the u8800+ Support TV-OUT,can our u8800 support TV-OUT,stockwell or dzo ,You will enable our u8800 to support TV-OUT?

I remember seeing some tv-out stuff in the kernel. So this is achieved using a cable connected to the audio jack?

yes，can you have a try？

Where is that rom you are developing?

Is this really possible? It would be seriously cool to get a rgb out to tv.

I wish stockwell will take a look and see if he can do something..

And how should the video signal be transferred? The Ideos X5 doesn't have HDMI out or anything, just an audio jack and a micro USB port.

Through the audio jack. It will give audio R L and video. I remember my old Nokia 5800 had this type for video output.

My Galaxy S has the exact same feature. It's much better plugging the phone into a TV to show pics and vids, rather than have 10 people peeking over my shoulder to get a glimpse.
I have a feeling the Galaxy S audio jack has an extra pin that allows this feature though, I'm not sure the X5 has it.
This is all you need http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECC1TX1BBEGSTA
Picked mine up from Ebay along with all sorts of goodies in a pack that cost less than AU$20

Well, the X5 has support for 4 pin headsets (stereo + mic + ground). It will be interesting if the "mic" pin can also put out video then...

In order to support it, the motherboard has to be designed to enable the mic pin for the composite video (and the software to be enabled).
It would be cool but nowadays most TVs have USB / uPNP so it´s easier to connect the USB cable to the TV than to carry a composite (arrgghhh composite...) cable. Also through USB pics are processed as they are, no losses. Through a composite TV-out the signal is converted to a very bad quality analog 576i/480i

I don't think that you can show phone's screen thru USB. But you can with the composite video out

Actually you can. The tv takes your phone as a memory stick

Yes, it's possible to view pictures/video when plugging to TV using USB connection. But my task sometimes need to show some demo. Now, I can only do it with PC, not a LCD TV.

How do you do it in a PC?

What about using a Micro USB to HDMI cable?
Like this one:

Hi,
Was anybody able to get the tv-out working? I have the 4 pin jack to 3 rca cable but it doesn't work. I searched google but I didn't find the answer. In one chinese site I have read (using google translate) that u8800 pro has the mini usb to hdmi tv-out but an adapter is required. Can anybody confirm this?

3,5mm jack you can use only with audio equipment. micro usb to hdmi sounds possible.

Many camcorders have 3,5mm plug for audio and video. So it could be possible.

HDMI to VGA/DVI

Hey does anyone know of a HDMI to VGA/dvi adpater that works and can be used to connect the device to a computer monitor.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

any hdmi/dvi adapter SHOULD work just fine....
no clue about vga tho.

It will depend on the capabilities of your display as well though. I have two monitors with DVI inputs (no HDMI in my house yet, sadly) and from what I can gather the reason I can't get a picture on them is that neither of them are new enough to support HDCP. When I hook it up to either, the displays and the A500 detect a connection, but I never get a picture. Using cables recommended from other threads on this forum, and tried three different HDMI-to-DVI adapters, and no success. Just an FYI. If anyone knows any differently by all means correct me

well a friend of mine had an old hdtv and didnt want to unplug any of his hdmi devices, but i tried an hdmi-dvi adaptor, and it didnt work at first, but then he changed the refresh rate on his tv and it worked. I dont know how helpful that will be to you

Plug into the tv first then plug into the Acer. I tried this and it worked. Having cable plugged into Acer A501 first just meant a blank screen. Idid have it Hdmi to Hdmi though...
Took me a go or two to work out....

If you don't mind spending some money (ca. 50 euro here in Germany) you can also try a HDMI to VGA converter. These devices do more than just giving you a dead analog and patched-through digital signal (which is what HDMI/DVI adapters do) and need their own power supply; however, they give you a genuine analog signal and separate audio, both with reasonable quality.
If your monitor is an older model, the problem may well be that it relies on the analog signal to be present... if that's the case, you'll need a converter anyway.

I have investigated VGA compatibility at length and unfortunately there is no way, other than using a converter with a power supply, that you can go from HDMI to VGA i.e. digital to analogue.
Someone told me HDMI to DVI to VGA - but that would never work.

[q] usb to av?

Is it possible to display video and audio to a television that does not have an HDMI output? Please help, I been looking for cables to buy online however, I do not want to order the wrong cable and be out of luck. I am looking to stream videos from the tablet to a television through the use of an AV cable

Micro HDMI type d I believe to AV cables would most likely work if such a cable exists

Do an amazon search for either Micro-HDMI to component/RCA for an SD TV or to VGA to a computer monitor. If you can't get a male VGA/RCA to a female HDMI or male micro HDMI then you'll need a double female HDMI adapter.

[Q] TV adaptor for nexus 10

What kind of an adaptor do I need to connect my nexus 10 to my TV (it's an older TV, not flat screen, not HD. I don't care about losing the HD, just the size.)
Thanks!

Micro HDMI to HDMI, DVI, or maybe even Component (not 100% sure on that). If the TV doesn't have any of that, then you'll likely need an Analog converter to go from HDMI to VGA, Composite, or RCA.

Check your TV. If it has HDMI, you want micro-HDMI to HDMI. If it doesn't have HDMI, but does have DVI, you'll want that.
If it has neither HDMI nor DVI, you'll need a new TV Or an HDMI to analog converter.

Nexus 10 to CRT TV connection
I have a nexus 10 tablet running stock 4.4.2. I bought an hdmi to rca converter from amazon.com and a micro hdmi to hdmi cable so that I could hook up the tablet to my old sharp crt tv. When I plug in the connections I am seeing a stripe coloured screen that says 'no signal ntsc'. when i turn the switch on the converter to pal it says 'no signal pal'. Could you tell me why this is happening and if anything could be done so that I can see the content from my tablet on my tv? Do I need any software/app installed to make this work? The only ports on the tv are the composite rca ones. I know the tv is old but its its 55 inches and in perfect working condition so I really don't want to purchase another so please if there is anything you know that would help I would be more than greatful.
My setup: the microhdmi to hdmi cable plugged into the micro hdmi port on the tablet, then the rca cable connects to the back of the tv and the rca ports on the converter. Should work?? Help me please. Thanks in advance.
