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?

If that "guy" was a Sales Rep., they'd tell you anything to close a sale. A lot like car sale's men.

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.

Have you tried it yourself to see if it works?

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.
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)

It supports MHL, so all you need is a $15 adapter to connect to hdmi

Sadly no, but if you watch the keynote you can see them using it on stage to display the screen
picked up a Samsung one for my phone from a local pc retail store last week... $45 Canadian. Had other models around $15.

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.

I don't think there's been a consensus either way as to whether or not this will have HDMI out via MHL. THAT is what we need to figure 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.
Hi
I'm guessing the answer is no, but is there a way of connecting the N7 to HDMI? Maybe using an OTG cable. I've searched, but couldn't find anything, so as I said, I suspect the answer is no.
Am aware of the HTC MediaLinkHD method, but was just wondering if there was a more direct route.
Thanks!
Otg is not possible. The device you use from micro usb is called an mhl adapter but I'm afraid the n7 will not work with an mhl cable

I know it doesn't, but BLOODY WHY?
Google have done this on purpose !
The only hope is Miracast.
The N7 has not been officially certified yet but Nvidia are signed up to it so its only a matter of time before it is.
You will have to buy a dongle for your TV or if you have a new TV it might get Miracast certification itself
Then the next step is a software update to enable the functionality

Anyone get the HDMI out to work on the Galaxy S4? I have my Samsung branded MHL to HDMI cable, and I am unable to get HDMI output working... any ideas?
I just tired it a second ago, im having the same issue, at least you know your not alone <3
I was only able to get it to work on my Infuse4G... but have traded it in for my S4, they said it would work... may that is my out to get another one? Maybe one with MDL? can someone confirm if it works or not on MDL?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Yes it works perfectly on both MDL & again on custom version of MF3. I'm using the new Samsung MHL 2.0 cable, which works without needing to be plugged into a power source. There are quite a few comments about people getting fakes out there. The most common way to test for the 2.0 version is if it works without having to use a power source and your TV running at 1080p 60hz.
MHL to MHL 2.0 adapter
I bought this on ebay [HDMI MHL Adapter Tip for Samsung Galaxy Notes 2 S4 S3 (Micro USB 5 to 11 Pin)]. Using it, I can use the MHL adapter that I used with my S2 with no problems. It needs USB power, but it works fine.
For those that are having problems and are on aosp roms, these adaptors only work on stock and Stock-based roms
Yeah, mine is a stock adapter (reqs power, originally came with my Samsung Infuse4G) and I am on a stock rom but no joy. I will order a new v2 model and see if it works then...
Thanks guys.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I also have the Infuse4G adapter. If anyone know of a way to make that work, it would be great.
I read that the S4 should be backwards compatible with standard adapters that use the addtl power source. I'm not sure if the Infuse4G one would qualify as "standard".
Thanks!

Hey, I was wondering if its possible to connect my phone to a tv or something using a HDMI cable? I have a mini hdmi cable but obviously the G2 doesnt have any ports, is it possible through maybe an adapter or something? Thanks
I've heard that the G2 uses Slimport to output video. If that's not the case, then it uses MHL. Either way, you'll need an adapter. I'd look into it and find out for sure which one it is, then do a little more digging to find out what you'll need. Personally I've never used either.

Thank you, just realised at the back of the box it says slimport, and online it say MHL isn't supported by G2, so I guess Slimport it is.
