Usb to hdmi - Xperia Play General

Hi, I was just wondering if you guys think sony will release software to enable us to use a microusb to hdmi lead or maybe even a devoloper on xda could make a program.
Also would it even be possible?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a hardware limitation. Is it not?

The USB port is not capable of video output on the Xperia Play from everything I have seen and read which is a hardware limitation.

Thats sad news, was really hoping to be able to connect to my tv. kinda wish I bought a Samsung gs2 now, not that im disappointed with my play I love it lol

Apparently there's a dock out/coming out that gives it a hdmi port.

If theres a dock that includes HDMI support, I dont see why you couldent just use a microUSB to HDMI adapter.

Apparently the dock is for the other xperias and not the play. Besides the dock would be ok for watching stuff but hopeless if you wanted to play games.

The dock itself doesn't support hdmi.

I believe it is a hardware limitation if there is no way for the video/audio out to get sent to the usb then there wouldnt be a way period

Hdmi output for the xperia play

Hey guys while I was browsing the web I just came across this
http://blog.gsmarena.com/watch-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-connect-to-hdtv-through-its-mhl-port-video/
Will it be possible that the connector can work with our phone also? It can be really fûň to play games on the "big" screen

Would be cool but I don't think it will. I have seen reviews where they claim it can but they had no clue.
This is an official Samsung release nd they have a vid it works

Would need software on the handset. Guess if SE really wanted to they could develop something and then release a SW update along with cable.
Personally not fussed about sending image to TV but I can see why others would like it.
but the play has a USB port not an hml port.
Even the galaxy s 2 has a usb port

There are Plays with HDMI out but they are development units. They used them for E3 last year.
i saw some photos from the sony booth at E3 and they are using the Xplay through the big screens. i hope they make something for retail, would be kinda neat...
I very much doubt this'll happen - the retail Xperia Play only has a micro-USB port - nothing useful for video-out... Better wait for the NGP. Even then, that's no guarantee
Someone should make a screen streaming app.
Use Bluetooth or wifi. That would be cool. Stream my x play to my iPad 2.

Use original samsung data cable other data cable does not connect samsung device
If you have wifi at home and a ps3 or some other media player that can see a network media server than the allshare app can stream stuff off your phone to ur tv, wirelessly.. I have tried pictures on the ps3 but vids dont work..
I want output like everything on phone is being displayed on tv

Nope others too work(nokia/sony tested)
Topic is not about which brand cable works I think a app for this would work...and who told you hardware not there earlier we don't have flash because "hardware was not supporting"now we have modded app for it and it works please guys n devs think if some app
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA Premium App
Having flash supported hasn't got anything to do with this.
Forget it. Ditch the idea. It's technically impossible - our phone doesn't support tv out. This is a budget phone made for consumers, you can't put TV out hardware in something this cheap.
Your best bet is to do as the guy somewhere above me - stream pictures over wifi.

TV-Out?

Hello I currently have a Vibrant and the phone has TV out with a touchwiz rom but switching to cm7 or miui it doesn't....I was thinking about the evo and how it also has tv out with a SENSE ROM and was wondering if you can use tv in cm7 or miui?

If you want to use hdmi mirroring, that is completely possible on any froyo roms such as mynswarm2.2
Our gingerbread kernel source code, which is needed for hdmi out, was just released, so devs are working on getting full hdmi out working on custom gingerbread roms.

I mean is it possible in CM7?

Yes, with the right kernal and the right hdmi mirroring app. And the right cable.
The only thing I can get my HDMI cable to do is display youtube. lol. stupid phone. HOWEVER, NICE LITTLE FACT! what's the point if the phones can't even play back video in the MOST COMMON FORMATS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 10 YEARS!
This would be sortof on the same subject. what is the best program to use?
Wow!
I wish we could have an app ...
We use the headphone Jack and so far there isn't any tv out!

There is, its called an hdmi mirroring app.
CM7 has certain kernels with hardware acceleration enabled for hdmi mirroring.
The app in the market is called "Full HDMI Mirroring for Evo 4G."
yxplayer2 in the market plays almost any format.

Samsung Galaxy Micro USB To IPOD Dock Cable

found a cable on indiegogo called sam-ple
check out the videos allows you to use ipod dock remote to skip tracks play pause charges and does audio through micro USB neat.
Does this work for all docks???
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Would be great if they made it open source, don’t see why it wouldn’t be compatible with any dock. Indiegogo is a crowd funding site so i guess you can ask for features to be added?
Found the link

Great find, something I've been looking for..
Anyone aware of a similar cable available for order ??

This only passes audio through the 3.5mm jack.
That's fine with me. I can get a $100 clock radio for $20.00.
I am going to order one of these next week.
