3.5mm jack to video chinch possible? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
For SGS and many Nokias there's a cable that turns your 3.5mm jack into a video out, the cable has 3 chinch (l, r and v) and it can be connected to TV etc.
Is there anything like this for Defy, and is it even possible to share screen image from defy to a TV?

Our Defy lacks video functionality thru audiojack.

Damn, so we haven't got any screen video share functionality
We obviously have to wait for such an amazing app that will remotely share screen image in high fps through data connections.

PPC to TV?

I was wondering if there's any way to output the wizard's screen and video's onto a tv screen like an ipod video or an creative vision M? Obviously i need to buy a mini usb cord to rca if any are available... just wondering.

TV Out T2 question

i found that with a cab, the audio dongle, and an ipod/camcorder cable you can connect your device to an external monitor. Its been said to work with the touch pro and the Fuze, but for some reason I only get audio when i plug the correct cables in and run the cab....any suggestions...i have an ipod video cable and an camcrder video cable

-Your answer (ie, use the right cable for the job ) is already in the 'Accessories' forum

since the manufacturer did not have to abide by any iso standards for this proprietary tvout, they can cross the a/v cables any way they wish. It just turns out they went the Apple way, and so the iphone's 3.5mm av cable will work perfectly ($4-5 on amazon).
alternately, if you have the standard 3.5mm camcorder cable, you'll have to switch the colors of the rca plug order, works just fine on the Fuze. Plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input. From this Fuze post:

dont buy an ipod cable if you have a regular camcorder cable it will also work! then u can have Tv out for $0.
only thing you have to do is use the adapter that came with the Fuze plug in the cable to it and then instead of pluging in the Yellow to the Yellow and so on, you plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input.
=) tada.
also don't forget to download the EnableTvout.cab
you will need it.
Let me know if this works for anyone elso, it def. worked for me

I have a zune av cable that is identical to the ipod ones and it will not output video on my TP2 but it will do audio. i tried switching around the cables to see if it was outputing on the wrong color but it isnt. i downloaded the cab and from the programs it seems to be working but in reality it isnt doing anything other than audio. Any ideas on how to fix this other than getting the real htc cable?
same problem
i have an Ipod video out cable, and all i get is audio, even when i switch the wires around....heres the cable I have http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...cable&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1134703394661

Your Doing it WRONG!!
Please Explain
please explain to me what it is that I am doing wrong
are you using the Ext-USB converter? and plugging the 3.5mm AV cable to it?
sure am...im using the audio dongle thing that came with it and the cable posted in the link above + the cab file
Why go to all the hassle, just buy a TV out cable. Mine cost about £15 which is nothing. It's a fairly simple cable with Video on pin 6 & Video Screen on pin 8. Audio is on 7 & 11 with screen on 5 and 10. The only hassle I have now is antenna for the radio, pin 9. With this pin connected the Rhodium assumes a headset is plugged in and disables TV Out.
cable
Ya have the real deal coming in a few days. Wasnt worth waiting for a potential cab that would work.
I have a differnet question... I have the usb to rca video and 2 rca audio outputs.
When I plug it in it disables the internal speaker and I can not figure out how to get it working without unpluging the a/v cable but I do not want too..
I want to use the T2 with a 3com mini projector and use the speaker in the phone with it.. Anyway to do this, or is there a Video only cable, I looked and did not see on.

Video out?

Does it have it?
Some sites say the specs do, some don't mention it!
Can't get a definitive answer on that one!
Also, if it does : where can I get a cable?
Thanks guys!
I haven't tried myself, but the iPhone and iPod video do it through the headphones socket. you can get a cable that takes this and makes it a yellow RCA cable. you could try one of them?

Interesting question.
But where are settings for video output?
I'd be interested if anyone can prove this? Re-settings...if this is possible then there could be 2 options.. 1. you will only see the settings when it's in "video out" mode.. or it's auto detected and there are no additional settings (as per audio output... )!
i'm really hoping for this but i'm guessing SE would advertise it to their benefit, and afaik they didn't so my hopes are kept rather low...
I've had a guy telling me that he can use TV out on his X10, using a microUSB-3.5mm adapter and the TV out cable from an N900.
i haven't been able to find an adapter that has the extra connector for TV out to try it.
I've got a 3.5mm jack going to red/white audio connectors. If I put one into the video part of the tv wil it play video or is it down to how its wired in?

I think X2 uses the 3.5 mm port for video out, and they didn't advertise that.
Yeah, they did. There's a button for it on the keyboard too.
I'm wondering if it has the hardware, but the options aren't there yet, and they might be added along with the HD video recording update.
well it definitely doesn't work at the moment.. just tested it. I have a video and mono audio cable (Yellow and Black).. and also a video with stereo audio cable (Red, white and Yellow)
did you try via the jack or with a 3.5mm adapter?
directly via the jack.. cable was 3.5mm "headphone" style at one end.. and phono at the other.
I tried that with a cable from an N900, doesnt work.
Still trying to find a micro usb to 3.5mm with video.
It seems there are some out there for LG and HTC, it's just getting hold of one to test it!
Hmmm this is interesting..

Just in case... Did you try testing with the Red or White as the video? Some companies have their own way of wiring things so that you have to buy their cables. Most people don't think of just swapping the colours around to get it to work and just fork out for the new cable.
There is a tv-out cable for the droid incredible:
droiddog .com /android-blog /2010 /04 /incredible-tv-out-video-demo
I wonder if this would also work on the X10 and when it will be available.
Mod edit: not (yet) accessories related, moved to general
I just tried my Sony Mini-DV Camcorder cable, and it does not work, the camcorder cable goes from 3.5mm to red/white/yellow

HDMI

Does the Galaxy S have HDMI output at all?
I've read in some places that it does, but haven't found a definitive answer.
It does not have HDMI.
You can however use DLNA to wirelessly transfer HD video from the SGS to your TV, which also must be DLNA compatible.
you can also use component cables and connect it to the 3.5 jack. That works also, theres a video on youtube of someone doing it.
I have a Samsung 58 inch Plasma with DLNA support and cant wait to try it out.
@Kleany: is not possible. trough 3,5 jack it can transfer only sound !!!
In this video they used DLNA technology to transfer video from galaxy to LCD screen.
Have you seen HDMI cable? there are many pins and cables is not possible use only 3-4 pins to transfer digital video signal.

HDMI Output Compatibility Testing

I updated my B60 U.S. Transformer with the Android 3.2 OTA update and decided to do some HDMI-output compatibility testing.
I used the following:
15-foot HDMI cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10240&cs_id=1024009&p_id=4959&seq=1&format=2
Mini-HDMI-to-HDMI adapter: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10419&cs_id=1041909&p_id=3653&seq=1&format=2
Here are my results:
Sony BRAVIA KDL-46Z4100 (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p set. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the BRAVIA picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the HDTV side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Sony BRAVIA KDL-40S300 (720p) - there is a an overscan display issue with this BRAVIA where a bit of each side is cut off on the HDTV. This BRAVIA doesn't have detailed enough controls to scale back the output display to make everything fit properly. It's not terrible, but it's not ideal looking either. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Westinghouse TX-42F430S (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p set. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the Westinghouse picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the HDTV side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Acer H233H (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p LCD computer monitor. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the Acer picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the monitor side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the monitor's built-in speakers.
Sony VAIO VGC-RT150Y - this is actually a desktop all-in-one computer system that happens to have an HDMI input. The Transformer changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the VAIO picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output centered on its 1920x1200 LCD panel. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the computer's speakers.
I hope this is of use for some of you out there.
why would you use a hdmi cable then an adapter and instead a actual mini hdmi cable
heres what im using http://www.monoprice.com/products/p..._id=1024201&p_id=3645&seq=1&format=4#feedback
and the 15 foot version http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10242&cs_id=1024201&p_id=7649&seq=1&format=2
So glad I looked in here first. I was about to buy a micro hdmi to hdmi, had it in my cart and everything.

I bought my 15-foot cable and the adapter some time ago before Monoprice started selling the straight cables that don't need adapters.
Anyway, I rarely connect anything with a mini- or micro-HDMI output, so it makes more sense for me to use standard HDMI (A) cables and then have adapters for when I need them.
More TV's
Thank you for this thread!
Now, are you guys going with your mini-HDMI cable to TV stores to try out HDMI-out compatibility? Thinking I could do that
I have a Samsung LE37xxx, hope it will work, would be kinky!
On another note, you may have to upgrade the TV's firmware because the newer ones (from few years back already) with USB etc. should be upgradeable...
I had a HDMI to mini HDMI adaptor that I bought off ebay however it did not work. I tried it on several different TV's and different cables and a receiver. Due to time constraints I bought a new replacement adaptor from Jaycar - tried it out and worked on two different Panasonic TV's. There were some overscan issues but I didn't have time to confirm if that was just a setting on the TV. I travel a lot for work hence the adaptor is better - don't want to carry the whole cable. If I am in a hotel with a TV with HDMI there is a good chance it will have a HDMI cable plugged into it that I can use.
