Tv out?

Has anyone tried to use tv out on the fascinate? Its the main reason I got the phone only to find out it may not have this function like the other galaxy s phones. Does anyone have a cord to try it with?

I would but damn, 50 bucks for the Micro USB to HDMI cable from samsung.

I'm more interested in the rca out from the headphone jack actually

Tried earlier with a Zune video cable but no luck. May be the cable however, can't ring it out to confirm until Monday.
Any links to confirm pinout of the headphone connector on the Fascinate in the meantime?

I saw a video earlier today showing a prevew of the 3.5mm jack to rca on the international galaxy s, and it was enabled through settings > sound & display, but looking at my phone, I do not see tv out and sub menu that the person navigated in order to enable tv out.
Hmm.

sorry double post

I was looking for this function too and can confirm it is not listed under the settings. How likely is it that the hardware was changed to remove this feature?

It looks like there are still four contacts inside the 3.5mm jack on the phone. I'm hoping that means the hardware hasn't been changed and only the software so that someone can potentially get the tv out function working on the fascinate

I hope so, was really looking forward to playing NES/SNES via a bluetooth controller (Wii Remote, anyone?) on a TV from my Fascinate!

Itll work just swap the red n yellow cables

i ordered a 3.5mm jack to rca cable, will see if it works when it gets here.
It was tested on a captivate and worked, so we will see, it was cheap so no big deal.
All I have at my disposal right now is a 3.5mm Stereo Plug To Dual RCA Jack Adapter but all it has is red and white. Will testing that lead to anything while I wait for the other cable?

Plug the red where the yellow go n the white in its right place. Make sure you have tv out selected in settings first. It should show on your tv.

Some of you proabably already know this, but for those of you who don't, check this out. If you have a PS3, and it's connected to your home network, you can stream movies off your phone, through the PS, onto your TV, using the AllShare app. It's not the greatest quality, but certainly ups the wow factor of this phone when you demonstrate it for your friends. Also, if your TV is networked as well, you can use your phone as a remote to stream the movies on your computer to your TV, and these play in excellent quality.

Unless samsung removed that feature, it should be in. They claimed the galaxy S line did t.v. out. I know i tested on the vibrant and it worked for all but copy protected movies.

I think for whatever reason, some settings that come with other galaxy s phones, do not come with the fascinate. The obvious one is tv out, then I also read about being able to change the font to a few different preset options, but also cannot locate that feature. There are probably more left out features that I don't know about, due to never playing with any of the other galaxy s variants.

It is definetly not in the software options, however I would not be suprised if Samsung left it out (it is not on the Epic 4g either) until 2.2 so as to help promote the HDMI output option as well. (Why buy RCA for $10 when you can get HDMI for $50 mentality)
Just speculation on my part, I have no idea why the option does not appear. However I would really like to see someone compare the dumps from on of the other US models and compare to see if we can add it in

look in the sounds and display options. it's the last option in that menu on Vibrant.

As said previously the option is not there on the samsung fascinates menu.

I have the cable and it worked on my Captivate, but I dont have a Fascinate in front of me (yet). I would assume with no setting to turn on, you (we, since I have two on order) are out of luck. I know with my Captivates, it worked only when enabled. Mine should be here the 22nd and then I can check.

Download a app called Twonky, it's free. start the Twonky app, while your connected to Wifi, once it's on fire up the ole PS3. you can stream stuff from your phone to your TV via the PS3. I do it frequently.

Lol wtf. The G2x uses a separate microHDMI port, not its microUSB port. This cord would likely be what will be used for the Sensation when it is released. I am not 100% sure, but I believe video out via this method (called MHL) requires slightly different internals than the standard microUSB port, thus would not work on phones lacking these internal differences.

I really want a phone with a Hdmi out port but it seems not to many Htc phones have this I been considering trading my phone for a G2X but I really love this phone but I would love to be able to watch movies from my phone on a TV. Being I travel from N.Y to Pa. a lot and I don't own a Ps3. I just don't think the G2x is better and they don't have to many Roms over there.

lol look at the dates.

[q] mhl hdmi

Has anyone seen definitive proof that an MHL hdmi adapter will work with the Razr M? I guess I'll know for sure when my girlfriend picks hers up but thought I'd go ahead and ask becuase I'm bored as hell at work.

Not saying that this is final, but I just picked up an M this morning and tried plugging it in to my MHL adapter. Unfortunately, the TV continued to show no signal

Right there with you no HDMI though MHL just tested it a few minutes ago.

Thats too bad, if this phone had HDMI even if I had to use MHL and ICS webtop it would be perfect. Its the first phone in a while with a pocketable size screen and decent specs.

I don't use my phone for HDMI output so I have no experience with it. There was a thread on the motorola forum saying the device does support DLNA in response to similar questions. Not sure if that helps. I looked through Target and BestBuy, just curious, but didn't see any TVs that listed DLNA support.

[Q] Can We use the jack output to video out?

Hy guys!
I just found a jack to compozit cable in my cabinet. It has a Jack father and an RCA (red-white-yellow) father. I have got a pic, but Im new in here, so I cant link...
So, I just wondering, can we use this cable to connect the N7 to a TV?
I know, at the moment we can't, but why? Because the hardware limitation, or the android doesn't support this feature?

As far as I know, you'd just be transporting the audio if you were to plug it into any device. You'd have to have an extra adapter to port the video through the yellow composite video cable.
Though people have been known to make some wicked little mods, so you never know these days.

Nexus 7 does not have the hardware capability.

You could always use an MHL adapter to output to a TV, that is if the Nexus 7 supports that method. I've never tried it.

Ah, well that's disappointing. I never looked into it before, but now I know. =P

Thats awkward. So If we want to connent the tablet to a television, we must use some wifi app, and the TV must be a smart one...
Or can We take advantage of pogo-jack? I never seen before this kind of plug, so I dont know, what it can do.

The pogo pins only do charging and audio.

Q: Best USB-C to 3.5mm + charger adaptor

I'm looking for an adaptor that I can use on my Tab S7+ with my existing 3.5mm headphones but still charge at the same time (thinking of long flights).
Having a look online, it looks like some USB-C to 3.5mmm adaptors don't work on all devices and not all charger adaptors are equal. Can anyone advise me on a suitable adaptor?

Apple usb-c to 3.5mm. it is best value for the cost. <$10 on amazon. It works like DAC, digital to audio converter that cost much more by any other company. If the sound matters, get it and then. If you want to charge, purchase a usb-c hub that gives you power and the other stuff you might want like hdmi out and additional usb c ports.

This looks like a good choice. It states that it works with the S20 and Note 20 Ultra. Does this mean that it will work with Tab S7+

CableCreation USB-C to 3.5mm adapter
I just ordered a CableCreation branded one that works and sounds great. It also has a passthrough for power. The fit and finish is pretty stellar as well.
Search Amazon for "CableCreation 2-in-1 USB C Type-C to Hi-Res 3.5mm Audio"

old school hyperdrive
if you want it all... check out the hyperdrive:
https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperdrive-6-in-1-hub-for-ipad?variant=19332717412414
i picked this up on the kickstarter campaign when it first came on the scene. i was using the ipad pro then.
i forgot i had this thing until the thread reminded me of it.
it has all you need. hdmi, SD card, microsd, hdmi, type c with pd charging, 3.5mm jack, usb... the who ball of wax. worth the coin.

It actually not really matters which adapter you buy - as long it includes a DAC.
I got these two (all < 15 €):
JSAUX USB-C Headphone Adapter and Charging
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08B3MY35T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ESR USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B089GVWNF2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
both work well. And the cable is rather good quality - so a bit hard to bend. That's fine, as some years a ago the first I bought failed after 1 month of usage due to the cable.
I bought them as they where the cheapest of all options and the review told they have solid cables.
Also a rather old one I bought 3 years ago works (do not know the brand, sorry).
But: you need one with a DAC - I bought some very cheap from china without, and: no audio.
The first one offers simultaneously charging, but is bigger in size. And I do not hear any white noise, though some user review report so. Might also depend on the head phones you are using? Also: a DAC requires battery. So: unplug them if not needed.
Now: I only need a cheap but worthy hub. The only I found interesting so far offers no headphone jack...
The other (link) below did the job but was not fitting.
Maxonar USB C Hub for iPad Pro 2018 Type C 6 in 1 Hub with USB 3.0 (5 Gbps)
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B07VMK7GTT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I liked the fact to have an usb-a, charging+data usb-c, audio, and hdmi port. However, all other option either are reported to wobble. So any suggestion is highly appreciated.
BTW: I own the tab s7, but this should not matter. Both should work with the s7+ as well.
