[Q] Can the G2 mirror out to an HDTV? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I posted this question in general and then realized there was a Q&A section. My fault...So can you mirror out to an HDTV with MHL, Slimport ect?
I'm not looking to stream anything like Netflix or Youtube but actually mirror whats going on with my phone to a big screen. Specifically using it for golf instruction with the V1 app. Thanks a lot for any answers

Supposed to via slimport only....

im using the analogix slimport adapter and it mirrors EVERYTHING off the G2 works flawless they are about 30 bucks on ebay

I'm trying find a gadget that will mirror my phone to some RCA jacks. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Basically my car has a monitor that would display anything that's being put into RCA jack in the center console.
How would I go about this?

You'd basically be looking to take a Slimport adapter to get it form the phone, to HDMI. Then use another to give you RCA outs, like this one:
Search Amazon for: Etekcity® HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD
Hope you've got some good room to hide wires.

Sarcasm ftw.
Need a little more info, are you rooted, running a custom rom, what program are you trying to get too play on your tv? I love how people come on and post crap like this and expect a decent answer.

Yes I'm rooted running omegaevo v1.1

Not every device you plug the HDMI cord into is compatible with the HDMI stack on the Evo. For example: My LG TV accepts the HDMI out just fine, but my RCA TV causes my phone to instantly reboot.
It would REALLY help if you gave more info. What kind of movie? What player? What codec, resolution, bitrate is the movie? What kind of tv? where did you get the cable?

Try this as soon as the video starts playing unplug the HDMI and plug it back in. I have to do this all the time. You might have to do it more than once.

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.

I'm also rooted and mine outputs with no issues. Occasionally the cable loosens and cuts out but I just plug it back in and it's fine. Make sure it's securely plugged in.
Mine works perfect for me

Cheers for the replies guys. i'll try some other cables and see if that was causing the problem!
One further thing to check is your TV settings. On my TV for example you had to enable the port in the TV settings before you could even switch to it. Also depending on what the port was defined as it may or may not pass audio. Worth digging around in your TV menus.
Snow/Noise
I have a rooted KFHD. Get frequent snowing effect on the TV when using the HDMI cable. I believe it is the cable, but have read everywhere that HDMI doesn't get noise/snow. So could it be the device or the port?
Snow doubtful.... but snow in general is doubtful
Is this hooked direct into your tv or is there a box between.

Bassbase,
Yes, we use it weekly in the office on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and a Kindle Fire HD 7", it works flawlessly on a 72" TV which we use for presentations with sound and at home I use a HDMI Converter on an old TV at home, it too works flawlessly with Netfix and Hulu. What apps are you using? Have you tried Hulu or Netflix? I can say Root is not needed to make the HDMI Port function properly nor does Root affect the HDMI Port. If you give me the App name we will test it in the office.

OK, lets stop all these jokes.
Obvious answer would be:

but MacGyver would use NFC->Bluetooth 4.0 LE adapter
Use MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter :good:

On the you tube video, there are times when you use a controller instead of the S4. Can you tell me what that controller is and how it connects to the phone? Where do I get it?
Thanks

even for last year 'highest' model of tv,es8000,screen mirror does not work,but streaming video is okay(from player you select output device tv and in a few seconds its there)
but this still sucks,better to use some stupid computer or android stick,or just your computer(tv as monitor,heh),smart tv my a**
i call this proof of concept,not working technology
or maybe purchase evolution kit...yeah,sure
(note that i don't have any adapter,i don't see any hardware problem there,and i'm not gonna buy hardware patch for software problem)

Because HDMI is ALL it has. no composite video on ring2 of the headphone jack, no other way to get video out of the phone onto a bigger screen.
you plug this into your phone, then you can plug your phone into a monitor or projector that doesn't have an HDMI input but has VGA or RGBHV (with appropriate cables)
Many conference rooms/presentation rooms/auditoriums still don't have HDMI/DVI on podiums but use RGB video distribution systems,
and it looks great.
That's why we need this!
Cool! Thanks for this! I have a monitor and speakers I use with my netbook. Now when my netbook is being used for couponing by my roommate I can watch stuff without dragging my roku to my bedroom!
