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.

How to watch movies from your DHD on TV

I couldnt find this posted anywhere else so here you go
I watched a movie on my plasma last night through my DHD via. USB cable, Im sure it would would work for most new TV's as they all seem to have a USB port in the back.
All i did was plugin the DHD to the TV via. USB cable and set the phone to "Disk Drive Mode" and a box came up on my TV saying that it had found a "Android Device" and i could watch a movie straight off it, It just had a "explorer" type menu and you can select movies, pictures or music Which i thought was pretty awesum!
Give it a go if you have a USB port on your TV, mines a Samsung Plasma about 1.5 years old. I tried to take a pic if it but of course i forgot that i cant use the camera when storage mode is on lol
NOTE: It worked fine for me but im not sure about voltages etc... it charged my phone at the same time, but i guess if you TV knows its an Android Phone like it did in my case, its probably made to be able to do it.

Nice one! I need to test this one with my Samsung tv

It's not a feature of your DHD but of your TV 'cause it has media player. Then you switch your DHD to disk mode it works like just a card or usb drive.

Yea I realize that I never said it was a feature of the phone. But is it not good to know?

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.

Usb to hdmi

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?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a hardware limitation. Is it not?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

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.

Use tab as a monitor for flip cam, possible?

My sister just game me her flip cam minohd M2120M and i was wondering if it would be possible to connect it to the tab via hdmi. I would like to use my tab as an external monitor while recording. I know video can be sent out from the tab, but can it be used in reverse? It would be a nice feature but i think i am wishing too much . Any ideas or suggestions welcomed.

Fairly confident the HDMI is out only.
Edit: Only way I could think of to make it work is the tablet as a DLNA renderer and the camera hooked up to broadcast it's HDMI output as a DLNA stream.

Well i fugured as much, i just wanted to keep it simple if it was possible.
