I hear you. I bought the Nokia cable before I found out TV out was missing from the menu. Doesn't any of these ROMs bring it back. I have yet to flash but I was going to do

There is another thread about this I found. Search for it. Anyway, it seems that the issue is Touchwiz 2.5. SO...we have to wait until Froyo comes out with TW3.0 and THEN see if the TV out is available. All of the other SGS phones that have it are TW 3.0.
But I'm with you man.

This is partially true, but not totally true.
When people talk about TV out, it's helpful if they define how they wish to get TV out.
All four US Galaxy S series phones support DLNA, which is why Samsung claims TV out features for their phones. But that's now what most folks would consider TV out...
Only the GSM phones have TV out via the 3.5mm output.
So to say that this is a TW 3.0 issue, would be inaccurate. The Fascinate has TW3.0 and does not support TV out via the 3.5mm port. I read a post somewhere that described the CDMA chip not being able to work with the 3.5mm out port, but I haven't been able to find it. I thought it was BS at the time so I ignored it, but now that the Fascinate is out and the 3.5mm port does not support TV out, I'm trying desperately to find it to double check the specs.
That leaves TV out via the microUSB port. Samsung's website was offering (they still might be) an HDMI cable that worked via the microUSB port and specifically listed the Galaxy S series (including the Fascinate, Captivate, Vibrant and Epic by name) however, nobody has been able to get it to work.
And thuse we're left with the speculation that TV out via the MicroUSB might be a Froyo addition, but not necessarily something that might be part of TW3.0 independently.

Hi, I'm a Sprint employee and Epic owner. Having worked with the Samsung developers a little I can tell you with assurance that the TV Out option was not "disabled" by Sprint's choice. It's a h/w limitation. When you first boot the phone you get an auto update which appears to disable the TV Out option, but I think that's a mandatory because the shipping ROM is universal to domestic carriers from Samsung. The TV Out limitation is due to the CDMA SOC (system on chip), which will be true for the Verizon model coming soon. The Galaxy S devices based on the GSM SOC do have the TV Out option.
DLNA is the only option for displaying multimedia on a remote display, but keep in mind you are limited to self-created content. You can't broadcast YouTube or SprintTV across DLNA as the DRM encryption is not supported on either the Epic or any remote device.
We're glad you're a Sprint customer and hope you remain happy with your Epic!

WTF! Are you kidding me? This is absolutely terrible news. I'm really disappointing if this is true.
Why are people so mad about this? No one ever said it would have tv out via cable only through dlna.

Because composite out allows anything on the screen to appear on tv.....any tv. Every tv has rca's. Not every one has hdmi. And I don't want hdcp and hdmi drm restrictions. Good enough reason?
I'm sad and my dreams are dashed.

Because you cannot share your self-recorded Movies through every DLNA device. PS3 and the Xbox both do not support our 3gp HD movie format.
I would like to visit my mother's house and be able to plug into her TV and show her the recordings of her granddaughters and other self-recorded video but I will be unable to do so without expensive extra hardware.
Well, don't shoot the messenger - I simply pay attention.
And second, RCA jacks are so 1990's I don't really care if they don't support them. This is a top of the line phone, so I'm glad if they sacrificed somewhere that they sacrificed 1990s technology.
That being said, don't give me HDMI out with the Froyo update and, well I'll have a CDMI issue. Good thing I'm on Sprint with 4G and not Verizon where I'd be really screwed. No 4G, no TV out, nothing to justify my costs, really...

"Posted in SDX by Zeinzu.
Idk if this brings hope for anyone but one of my own customers hooked up his epic to our hdtv and streamed micro usb to hdmi both video and sound, i watched this with my own 2 eyes, he "claims" his epic was stock, I've yet to try mine cause we don't carry the cable and he had brought his own"
Given that last post, I'm almost tempted to gamble with $40. If anyone else has seen this done, just 1 more person to verify and I'm in. Now that I've heard a physical 'my own 2 eyes' confirmation, I'm feeling a bit optomistic (although probably setting myself up for disappointment). Anyone else tried or know someone who's tried?

Just trying to understand this thread. Before this phone came out a lot of threads were talking about the fact the phone had no tv-out. Many said that was a deal breaker. I get that. Everyone know weeks before the phone came out it had no tv-out. I just understand the "tv-out" threads. Sorry

Well, I agree that people shouldn't be upset if it ISN'T there. However, if people are mearly asking for alternatives/workarounds, or possibly finding unadvertised features (ie 3.5 jack on gsm models) I believe that's exactly what this forum is for. However I also believe people should not be starting a ton of threads. Search for those that exist, and continue that thread (or make this one 'the thread')

This is an attempt to get some information about HDMI.
For a long time I hear people saying somebody from the CM already got it working but so far the only thing I see is rumors like nobody knows for sure. Some people don’t live in a 4g are so like me they don’t worry about 4g, so for people like us the only thing keeping us for going in to cyanogen or any other none sense rom is the HDMI.
So here is my big questions, does anybody know for sure if this rumor is true or not about the HDMI?
Anybody from cyanogen did something with the HDMI or not?
Would that be any hope for CM7?
I know somebody already got the 4g working on the CM rom, I just hope someday soon we can have HDMI as well.
If anybody out there from CM see this thread I will really appreciated if you give us any hope.
For those people that check every little misspell sorry if I misspelled anything.
Hope to hear something from you guys

Who know what _would_ be doable and cool though? use the bluetooth on your phone as an authenticator for various things in the house like your xbox or even google tv.
Fire up the XBOX and during its controller scan it picks up my phone and knows which account to log in as and to unlock the parental controls .... when watching TV it could toggle the parental filters ... my computer could know to always browse in porn mode ...
As soon as I leave the room BAM! My bos are kicked out of Live, Google TV turns off skinimax, and google safe search filter is turned back on.

$35 is $35. But that doesn't seem so interesting. I understand it doesn't need a computer since it's a computer itself. But why not just get a flashable boot drive?
Same thing as Cotton Candy I feel. This is just more cost effective.

In this instance, you could carry it as a HTPC. It has HDMI, micro USB charging; make a simple case and hide it on the back of my TV.

This could so use a android port.
So I realize this is an old topic. I bumped the previous post, its not showing so...here we go.
This is the cherry on top for the ns4g, the one true feature we lack is HDMI out. I know its a developer phone, I'm 100% cool with that, we have things others don't and vice versa. But, I've read a lot on the subject, it seems possible. Back when the ns4g hit best buy, they had a ns4g with HDMI out to a 52" life like ns4g.
I've purchased a Samsung mhl adapter and gave it a shot. No picture or sound as I assumed, though the phone registered the mhl and immediately went to dock mode. So its trying... what's missing? Must be software. If so, how do we wake her up?
I have much love for all the devs around here, i mean no disrespect with offering funds to anyone who takes on this project. I happily donate to devs when using their work, its just that this subject was so popular and then it disappeared completely. I wonder if I missed something.
Thanks for looking and please don't hate, if this is possible. It would be worth it..

It may be possible, we would have to research what hardware controls the mhl, and see if our nexus has it.. then we would have to find out what software controls it, and port it.
Doesn't seem to hard, as long as our nexus has the correct hardware. I have no clue about hml, never saw it until now. If any dev was willing to take a crack at finding out how to get it on nexus s, i'd be willing to help.
