I assume you are joking since the Evo uses microHDMI for TV out. That's a port that does not exist on the Epic.
Bro, go to cellup.com look up hdmi cables samsung epic n guess what you will find..... don't speak before you know

Um, yeah, that would be a microUSB to hdmi and DOESN'T currently work on the Epic. The Evo's cable is microHDMI to HDMI. Please read before posting things you clearly don't know about. The feature of video out was disabled by Sprint.
That bites I was told by the guy I bought my epic.that that cord would work good thing I hhavnt bought it yet

Now that we're on the tv out issues... I wanted know, the allshare application does not find my tv. Now, I have a Sony XBR9so this cannot be my tv, I'm already equipped for hulu plus! Aside from the not finding, I am pretty impressed still how the tv finds the device and can play songs and picture from it, just not videos? Hmm... I wonder what this all may be about. I don't mind, as I could simply place it on the usb stick and plug it to the tv, but, I actually wanted to do it off the device, anyone else have this same issue?

This guy claims TV-OUT on Epic's hardware is disabled. Dunno how reliable of a source he is, but I guess we'll be closer to knowing for sure once we get froyo 2.2 on our Epics.

Okay, if the Verizon Fascinate has Tv-out his argument will be invalid. I guess we'll just have to wait for that or froyo to learn more unless someone else has anything to offer.
I've also heard that the epic has a different 3.5mm controller, so that may be one clue

What video format is on the phone? Your TV might not have the right codec.

i know my new sharp aquos quattron or whatever it is has a similar issue. i can play files via usb. i can send the tv pics/music.. but no video. ive decided to just have it link up with my ps3 instead as it can handle video streaming.
Verizon's Fascinate does not currently support TV out either.
Just for kicks.. has anyone tried hooking it up and see if the option appears?? i dont have a cable to test with
I got one on ebay and tried so without another compatible device, I'm not sure if I just got a bad cable or not. I even tried using white and red as the video just in case cable was funky, but didn't work. I swear I read somewhere that the option would appear after plugged in, but no tv out option appeared in sound/ display settings.

Edit: read in a bunch of different places today that an update killed TV-out... People had the option and then it was gone after update. This gives me hope that some of the pros here can give it back
There is a cable that is made by cygnet, that has the epic usb to hdmi, works with epic. Retails for $24.99, you can find them at Fry's Electronics.

I have tried working cables from my captivate and the epic tv out did not work. I looked in the 3.5 mm jack and the design looks different. I think it has different hardware but I am not 100% sure.
searched and did not find.
anyone using the plex app and got it to work on the a500?
i have it working on my evo 4g but can't get it to work on the a500. i tried the plex forums and got a response from the moderater/employee but no real help. basicly he said it should not even work on the evo or a500, but then said someone on his forum has got it working on th a500.
he offered a refund but it is only $5 so i am not concerewd. i would just rather have it working to stream movies from my computer to save space until they get the sd card isssue worked out.
I have it installed on both my Evo4g and my A500. I was able to install directly from the market and ran the app with out issue on both devices.
Sorry I know that doesn't help...
Oh, I am rooted on both devices, not sure if that matters at all.

Thanks,
I am rooted also on the Evo but not the A500. I was going to root the A500 after the 3.1 comes out in June.
Rooting the A500 takes just a couple of minutes, well worth the time to do it. If for no other reason than to be able to run adfree
Using it on my rooted A500 and Samsung Fascinate. I had an issue last night where my A500 would not see any folders on the server. I removed the server on the A500, restarted A500, re-added server in Plex and problem solved.
Did any one tried to watch something?
Has anyone? Yes almost daily I watch stuff on Megavideo and just as of last night it was fine.

I have never used it... on PC as well - can you tell me how, what do I need?

First heard about tonight and checked it out, works great, just got done watching Easy A, only thing that sux is the sound is so quiet on the already quiet speakers but I used volume+ to help that while watching.
megavideo works but i seem to be having problems with HD movies as they are too jerky

First, the transformer is amaing! second I dont go to Megavidoe directly but through other sites that find my videos for me. To watch you dont need anything but flash. There is nothing special that youneed other than flash, just go through your browser. There are ways to be able to us it unlimited without having to pay.

Alright im thinking of buying my wife a Iconia cause i hate to get her a iPad cause after going from iphone to my atrix i now belive iOS is crap. A few questions i got is 1. Does it have market support? 2. Does it have a unlocked bootloader 3. Is there root options or anything of that nature. Is there a better product out there for the money any insight will be greatly appreciated thank you
Yes to pretty much everything you just asked. All Honeycomb tabs right now are pretty unlocked and completely easy to root.

Alright thank you i was reading where some tabs dont have market support and cant download from the market and it being my wifes i dont know if shes going to want me to root it and rom it and so fourth thank you
I haven't changed the rom on my a500, nor do I plan to but so far I love my tablet. The market works just fine although you may have to find alternatives for some Apps like Facebook. The annoying thing to me about the a500 is that sometimes the screen turns on by itself when not powered off and it kills the battery quickly. Also I don't like the short length of the charger cable. The use of a usb keyboard is great but I haven't tested out a mouse yet.
Like I said before, I love it (4.5 out of 5).

Full market support, full connectivity (SD, USB, HDMI), can be rooted as easily as downloading an app and clicking once with your pinky. For the money, there's not a tablet put that comes close. Transformer needs $150.00 docking station for connectivity, GTab has no connectivity, Thrive is as big and heavy as your house, xoom has no connectivity either.
They can be had for under $400.00!
Edit: more cooked ROMs than you can shake your d!k at!

Sorry, I was curious about your comment. I'm planning on borrowing my stepfather's Iconia to play around with it, which is why I'm on the Acer forum, but when you say that the Gtablet (which I own) has no connectivity, what are you referring to? Everything you have in parenthesis exists on the Gtab, well, HDMI via the $42 dock. We have standard USB and mini USB, a micro SD slot and as mentioned, HDMI from the dock...
just curious, thanks!
EDIT: Don't take this as indication that I think that the Gtab is superior in any way. In fact, I'll never recommend one to anybody due to the poor customer support.

I think you answered the question yourself. It needs a dock for connectivity, whereas the Iconia doesn't need the dock. That's my take on it anyway?

And circle gets the square.
I don't think you have to worry about accessing the market with any of the newer tablets. That would appear to have been a problem with the older ones. My first Android device was the Archos 5 IT(which is still going strong with my sister) and you had to do a market hack to access the real market on it. My brother's horrible Gentouch78(seriously made the A5IT seem wonderful) also has to be hacked to access the market which is something I've still not gotten around to doing. Hmmm, compared to those 2 tablets, I love the Iconia despite my wifi issues.
Market.google market. Amazon app store. Gameloft.nook app and books.
Do a web search you will find alot of alternative solutions to not only Google's market.but of course they are not all equal.
What is ios again.oops its a caged child should be illegal
Edit:
So it seems the consensus is that this will probably not have HDMI out (through a cable)
But obviously it can stream it's video over wifi (or bluetooth?)
So I want to know if anyone knows of a cheap solution. Like using Apple TV or Nexus Q (But MUCH cheaper)
Also, would wifi streaming, say Netflix, AND wifi streaming to the TV destroy the streaming quality of Netflix?
Let's figure this out!
So I don't think this has an HDMI port (Maybe micro to Hdmi?)
But does anyone know cheap wifi HDMI out solutions? Like Apple TV, but CHEAP.
This is one thing worrying me about this tablet. ($300 for the Q is horrible)

The one used on stage may have been one of those with that mysterious 3rd port that we won't have.
It's a great tablet, still planning to get one, but they probably left it out the spec for a reason.

That's may not the same model that's shipping though. We may not get this feature on the consumer version.
Check out around the 9:00 mark of the keynote. Whether it makes it to production is to be seen but obviously they are putting video out.. also on the Google Play Store under tech specs they don't mention the Galaxy Nexus has MHL.. but it does
Once MHL is confirmed I'll probably have to order up another Nexus 7 to use as a media server. I'd just mount it to my stereo cabinet and run it through my receiver. Too bad the HP Touchpad never had MHL support, it'd give new life to my soon to be retired device.
The Q would upset and confuse anyone who didn't already know what it was if they saw it in my living room. I'm not very impressed with the amplifier on it either.
Yeah If they confirm MHL I'm in. It does look like they had special versons with hdmi though. I'd be saddened to learn that I can't hook it to a tv. It was a deffinate buy for me before but without hdmi I'm out.

So prbly no HDMI, and if it has MHL we won't know until it comes out. So we may as well prepare for it not having MHL.
If it has it, well then this thread could be useful for a different device.
If it doesn't, then this thread is important
Either way. This will help people feel better about their purchase if they know there is an HDMI alternative.
I agree. I hope there is MHL but if there is another HDMI alternative I'm all ears.

Actually I re-watched the videos, and the only cord they are using is plugged into the Micro USB SO:
A) There is MHL (at least on the display, but why not all of them?)
B) They were just keeping it charged while they streamed the video through the Nexus Q (more likely)
If only we could ask someone that just got one free at the event!
Edit: Just tweeted to Aaron Baker of PhoneDog.com who received a free Nexus 7 at the I/O to let us know in his full review if it has MHL/HDMI and Tablet support. We will see what happens.
Engadget has posted their review and says that you can use an MHL adapter. Can we take this as gospel? Hmmm...

Read the bottom
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/
Update: We received some bogus information on the MHL. We've now confirmed that the Nexus 7 does not support MHL, meaning there's no way to connect this over HDMI to get video output.
