How does video out work on the Galaxy Tab? Basically, I'm torn between the Xoom and the Tab 10.1. I'm leaning towards the Tab due to the video format support.
I understand the 10.1 isn't out yet, but I'm assuming the video out will work similarly since the new Tab will still not have HDMI out.
What connector would I need to connect my Tab's output to my TV? Would there be a way of getting audio and video out to HDMI through an adapter? Or would I need to use the headphone jack as well?
Thanks.

The 7" Tab has analog video out via cable, and digital video out via an HDMI port on the multimedia dock - I'd imagine the larger Tabs would be about the same.
I bought an HTC Media Link today, ostensibly for my Desire HD, but I checked that it does work with the Tab, so that is likely another option on the larger Tabs.

The part I hate the most about docking is u can't watch movie that u rent from mediahub tru your big screen. It is not allowed thanks to drm
Streaming using dlna is good enough so u might skip buying anything

This is the mini usb connection, right? From where did you buy it? Cost?
Thanks.

No, HTC Media Link is DLNA client that plugs into your TV.

I tried an old Nokia 3.5mm composite video/stereo lead and it worked well....ish, it's composite after all.
in what aspect? was the image shakey?
if it does not do it well i will get the iphone. thanks for replying btw :-D

Not shaky, just the usual 'poor' quality composite image, nothing wrong with the 'phone.
The aspect is based on how you use the phone. If you hold it vertically, it will have a weird portrait resolution.
If you hold it landscape, it looks perfect on a widescreen TV.
I'm going to have a full Galaxy S Review up hopefully tonight, I document the feature.
I'm using some old Nokia TV Out cables at home, composite picture quality, but works just fine (no jitters or anything).
Definitely a welcome feature for me!
Why do you need to use some old cables?
Isn't there one provided in the box?

Because it isn't the recommended external video output. Obviously with the SGS being a HD phone outputting to composite isn't exactly going to be the best way of demonstrating the video features, hence the preferred DLNA option.
How is the DLNA feature?
Have any of you tried the DLNA feature with say a PS3 or XBOX? how does it work? is it smooth?
Since our milestones 2 are capable of play 720p video, is there any way to display the video being played on the phone on the external lcd screen via some kind of cable?
I think, DLNA is the only way. But I am not sure... It hasn't even tv out in 3,5 jack
I think it is not possible. Milestone XT720 has support for HDMI. Probably ATRIX could also be somehow connected to bigger display.

DLNA works quite well in my experience.
LOL, I think he didn't mean 3,5 mm jack but MicroUSB TV Out ...
Whats so funny about that, my Nokia 5800 used the 3,5 Jack aswell and it worked Fine. But i tryed the Cable on this Phone it doesnt work, it works on the GalaxyS.. but not on the MS2

Hey mate! Just read what I wrote... It hasn't EVEN tv out in jack, much less in microUSB and so on
so, typically, there's no way? you know, not all device support DLNA
Probably a noob question, but i dont know so i thought id ask.
Do we have any way at all to output the Xperia Play picture to a TV yet?
Would be great to plug it into the TV while i am in bed and control iplayer and youtube and play some games etc.
the only 2 things that ive seen is
1. theres a new prototype play with a hdmi out on it and there is a video on youtube of someone using it.
2. ive seen a S.E docking station thats coming out that has a hdmi output
on it but its unclear if this adds hdmi to our plays, or just for the new plays that have hdmi out on already?

That 'prototype' is for development use only.
Someone said he used a usb to hdmi adapter but then he was uncontactable...

The plays with HDMI out, are development models, its not a new version

Man, better not to answer if you don't know something well. That can confuse a lot of people.
1- The prototype you talk about it's just the device that the developers buy to make games for the Xperia Play and test them.
2- The LiveDock Multimedia Station (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImnhFtmyHNA) uses the USB port of some Xperia phones and outputs the image through the HDMI output that the dock has. The bad new is that the Xperia Play is not one of the compatible phones, although it has USB port.
And if there would be that new Xperia Play with HDMI output, why the heck would you need this dock if the mobile already would have HDMI output???
Someone said you can use a micro
Hdmi cable to connect it why not try? ;P

I have a feeling they may release a USB - HDMI adapter for the Xperia Play but will also need software on the phone like Bravia Sync to allow for the phone display to be pushed to HDTV.

That will be awesome (if SE decide to go with this idea).
Where do I have to sign to get one ?
I just want to be able to connect my first smartphone (the PLAY) with my 55" LED screen ... even my former, former, former dumb phone (Samsung D900) was capable of it... after that the replacements a Samsung F480 and a Samsung S8000 (the famous "Jet") weren't able.
anyway... I'm loving the Play... just hope SE don't leave us unsupported.
I bought an micro usb to HDMI cable and I plug it to the tv with hdmi and the TV doesn't gets a single, is there a app that i need to use with? (Im rooted)
You need the right cable. I bet you've bought MHL when you need SlimPort.

You could also get a miracast compatible receiver (I have the ptv3000 myself) so you can wirelessly display your screen to the TV (though it is NOT 1:1 and while audio and video is in sync it it doesn't have excellent video quality and gaming doesn't work well at all - check the Wireless display thread in nexus 4 accessories)

Is this going to work with the S4? I saw a "Screen Mirroring" option on settings but I'm not sure if it's the same thing as Allshare Cast. Did Samsung change the name or is this a completely different feature?

any news on this?, i also have the dongle and might ne upgrading to the S4 soon.
Tested last night and works fine!
In fact with my rooted S4 it even works without having to use "Triangle Away" whereas on my S3 it would just bomb out.
But still only at 720p!
EDIT: and yes it is now called "Screen Mirroring"

Cheers all, although has anyone found out why Samsung are selling this as a 1080p unit where there is nothing 1080p about it.
Allshare Cast hub from S3 is working like a charm on S4. Far Far better then S3. I'm playing games without any lag or pixels on TV screen.
I'm uploading now a prove of it

It does output in 1080p for Galaxy S4. The resolution will be the same of the phone resolution.
If I were to use the dongle with my Galaxy S2 it would output to 480p on the TV.

No it does not! This thread is about the Wireless Cast Dongle, not the hdmi adapter. I have it in front of me now and the TV states the signal is 720p.

i did wonder when he said "the galaxy S2...." - the Galaxy S2 doesnt have widi and so no allsharecast. I'm going to log a call with samsung to find out why they are miss selling this, it appears to have no 1080p connectivity at all.
Here is my video showing Allshare cast on S4
Two questions
1.Does this feature work with the mobile connected directly to the WIFI network(Got a 2012 E8000 TV)? I bought an S4,and I`waiting for it to ship, but I didnt see anything about this dongle being sold with the phone.
2.Does this app allow for the screen mirror to go the opposite direction. Ie I want what the TV is showing, to be sent to the phone. Being in the kitche, or while taking a dump

I know the S2 doesn't have miracast support, that's why I said: "if I WERE to use it on my S2".
Regarding 1080p in this video the guy said it was outputting in Full HD on his TV, so I don't know for sure what's happening.
I ordered my dongle on Amazon and it should arrive in a few days so I can test it.

For those of you using the stock video app and allshare dongle - the default output in the video app is 720p. You can change this to 1080p in the settings

Are you referring to the wireless dongle? If so then, from memory, it does not matter what you set the output to in the video app the cast will still only output at 720p unless things have changed.

With you there! But even the 3S outputs at 1080p with the wired dongle so it is capable of doing it, just perhaps not over the air.
Hello there...
I bought the allshare cast hub a few days ago. The connection between the my Galaxy S4 and the hub works well, but it's a bit laggy. Now I've found an APP (AllShare Cast Hub APP), which allows to update the firmware from LF21 to LJ01. The problem is that this APP doesn't work with the Galaxy S4. It seems that it's only available for the S3.
How can I update the firmware without a S3?
Thanks...
