HDMI out cable doesn't seem to work

I bought a microusb to HDMI cable (Samsung P/N ECC1HU0BBE but not from Samsung, from some other random place) to see if it would work. It does not appear to work on my phone. I'm running the stock ROM, just rooted with the bloat removed.
I plugged it into an HDTV here at work, checked "TV out" in settings, and nothing. TV said it didn't see any input. I was dubious about this, especially since there's an option in there for NTSC/PAL which AFAIK doesn't apply to HDMI. This leads me to believe that maybe the TV out option is for something more like the classic ipod style analog video out through the headphone jack cable.
I tried: just checking the "TV out" box, switching between PAL and NTSC, restarting the phone with the cable connected, etc.
So, there's my anecdotal report. I'm guessing that our phone doesn't support this cable. I thought I had one of the latter (analog video) type in a box of cords somewhere but haven't been able to find it yet. Has anyone tried one of those cables?
(I'd post links to the cable I'm talking about but it won't let me! D

drat.
Maybe it only works with specific apps-- Did you try playing a movie in the built-in video player app?

I did, I even tried a couple different videos of different types.

there are some threads bout the analog headphone cables. They work fine, and are cheap, about 3.00 on amazon.

Yeah, but 720p out would have been nice

Yeah ive heard the hdmi mini-usb don't work, just the tvout through headphone jack.

they're not having issues with the analog cables..
this is a micro-usb to hdmi... so colours don't apply here...

You got the wrong cable.
This is the correct cable to get:
ECC1HU0BBEBSTD

You could have gotten a faulty cable. It's also possible the cable was assembled by some random joe making and selling junk cables. Where did you get it from? It may be a fake samsung cable and not true oem.

This is certainly possible. I bought it from some random shady web store I found on google shopping. It _looks_ like a Samsung cable, but that doesn't really mean anything.

The cable I have looks exactly like that, down to the little plug symbol by the microusb port on the side. Also you'll notice that the part number you list is the same as the one I did but with an "STD" on the end. The page you linked me is where I started my search for this cable. The cable itself doesn't have any part numbers on it that I've found.
If it doesn't work on my TV at home either I'll take it apart and we'll see what's in there. I can't imagine much.
So, who knows? Maybe I have a knockoff, broken or wrong cable. If so, bummer for me, but that means that we still have the possibility of HDMI out on this device. So, someone buy that cable straight from Samsung (whenever they decide to start selling it) and prove me wrong! I'd be very happy

I bought the same cable and tryed everything...
I am not sure if it is a software issue or what. But it definitely is not sending signal threw this port. Tried a many different programs/apps and settings.

I thought "TV Out" was only for the analog video signal through the 3.5 mm jack.

where did you guys buy the cable?
just want to know
Thank You

It could be the cable. I had to buy a specific cable for my Greddy Emanage since they did something to switch the USB cable to make it proprietary. They charged $30 for the stupid thing too! Bunch of BS, anyhow, they may have done the same thing with the Vibrant.
I dont remember hearing anything about the Vibrant doing HDMI out though

i used an old 3.5 to rca cables from a motozine i had and video worked just fine on my tv. it kind of looks like crap on my 52 inch screen. but it worked. so im thinking maybe the video out only works through the 3.5 jack.

The Galaxy S doesnt support HDMI output. That was a accident statement from Samsung. That cable is for the "mondi".

Hmm. I wonder if it works on the Sprint Epic 4G, or on the international I9000. (There are several Galaxy S features that T-Mobile and AT&T have disabled, but which appear in other variants.)

What is the quality of the 3.5mm tv out..is it horrible? On youtube videos it looks really good, but its hard to tell by youtube. Will it look quite good on a 46" panasonic plasma?...no hdmi news is quite depressing, was really looking forward to that.

[idea] PS3 controller hack/mod... need advice

so... the PS3 controller works with my and other android devices, but it's an "external" controller
i have a small idea that i have no idea how to excute in real life, so i look for advice
to sumerize it is one pic (better then words)
i want to somehow "split" the PS3 controller so i can put it on the side of the smartphone having it's pcb behind the phone.

LOL. A phone like that would just be annoying.

An easier and much less ridiculous looking option would be to have a holder integrated in to the controller so that you could mount the phone over the buttons.

It's been done. I've seen about 4 different variants of the same idea, here is one.
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43075/gametel-bluetooth-gamepad-fingerless-gaming
And here is another.
http://www.icontrolpad.com/
Additionally, just get yourself a PSP, Vita, or DS. The games are much better, and if you're going to carry around something like a ps3 controller or whatever, you might as well carry around a real gaming device.
(I used to carry a datel retro wiipad or a ps3 controller to play emulated games.....but trust me, ladies would much rather see you playing a PSP, and even that is a curse)

Seems like it would be better just to pick up an Xperia Play, no?

If you're wanting to do the mod yourself...
I'd recommend instead of "splitting" the controller (which requires additional wires, soldering, and a new enclosure for the PCB), to take the other products' idea and make a "dock-like" style.
The only thing you would need to "mod" would be to add the dock foundation near the usb port of the controller, but it must accommodate the contours of the controller and the phone. And you would need to solder a converting usb plug (from the controller usb to your phone usb, which is most likely two different kinds). That way, whenever you slide your phone into the dock part, the soldered, converted usb plug automatically fits into your phone and the controller now supports the weight of your phone.

well got my PS3 controller today, and bought the sixaxes
right now i think to get a car mount for the gnote and mod it to the controller

What you need sir, is a lot of ducktape.

Seems like the only easy way for now. Splitting a controller would be intensely boring with a nice chance of failure, need augmented vision to really solve this issue....FTW

I bought one of these, http://www.amazon.com/Breffo-Spiderpodium-Stand-iPhone-Cellphone/dp/B003O1V5CY.
I use my Photon 4G with my Sixaxis controller on the bus just about every day. I found if you bend the legs too much right where they attach to the body, they will snap, and hang loosely. But I called Breffo, sent them my Amazon receipt, and they sent me a new one, no charge.
For me, it's the best solution.
I was using this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw_UBLt-Ckk, but it eventually broke, and it was heavy as hell. The Breffo is lighter.

You should buy a Xperia Play, then you have an slide out-able controller and a real comfortable cellphone as well

USB OTG Used as a charger, it works!

Hello guys!
I'm using Xperia Z1 C6903 with LB (UB doesn't give me enough to lose all those camera features).
If you're a vaper (smoking e-cigarettes), then I have great news for you!
I'm using THIS e-cigarette and if you buy USB OTG cable you can use your phone as a power bank!
This is more than awesome! Just imagine, your e-cig runs out of power, you are on the move. All you have to do is to pull out usb-mini usb cable (for ecig) and USB OTG cable.
It looks like this:

and it is charging!
I don't know how well it works YET as I came up with this idea just today. I'll try with charging X10 Mini pro and I'll let you know if it works. I've seen some kernels (doomkernel) which has bumped USB power output.
I think more people should try it and let us all know what else they could charge with USB OTG.
I'll update this thread with the list of what can you charge (more or less) and with what kernel.
Stock kernel:
e-cigarette with USB pass-through - works great!
stereo Bluetooth headset (SBH50) - works great and doesn't use much of the phone battery to fully charge!
iPhone 4 - charges
Let me know what kernel are you running and what you could charge (if it actually charges sth, not just shows up charging) - I'll put it up regardless if it shows charging or if it's actually charging.

Well, If you're addicted and you can't smoke for a few hours and you don't have a strong will then charging your e-cig instead of buying cigarettes is a great idea. It's even better if you can charge that e-cig using YOUR PHONE!
It's nothing new that it outputs power, but it is new (for me at least) that you can actually charge stuff out of your phone. Z1 carries massive battery (3000 mAh), so you actually can use your phone as a charger with light phone usage.
Please don't quote the entire thread next time.

How about charging a phone or anything else using the Z1?

But I think OTG use small amount of current to powee up usb devices if you overload it it might cause a hardware failure or worth

One day I woke up and decided enough was enough, never touched another fag since, that was 6 years ago
Its easy, just sort your head out.

Well, it does use current high enough to charge stuff. It won't output higher current than the kernel cap. It's perfectly safe for the device. @gregbradley - good for you, I don't have a will that's strong enough to just quit it. Can we get back on topic now, please?

Haven't tried this yet on my Xperia phone but on my HTC One before I could charge another phone using OTG. Well I was attempting to mount a cheap tablet(with no microsd card and bluetooth) to my phone so I could copy some files and it didn't work but it charged the tablet instead

Interesting. I actually tried this with S4 and Galaxy S w/ CM11 and S4 told me that I can transfer photos, Galaxy S /w CM11 automatically mounted itself in MSC mode. Just like you would connect it to the PC.
That's actually interesting. Which tablet is it with what rom/kernel? I could try to modify OTG interface on the Z1 or disable data transfer on the device that's meant to be charged, so you could switch between charging/data transfer. I thought that's not possible to charge a phone with another.

I tried with a stereo Bluetooth headset (SBH50) and it charged without any problem. It just went from 72% to 68% in my z1's battery and the headset charged almost fully.

So guys Which modules would you guys like to see for the g5?
to kick things off I was thinking of a blackberry priv like keyboard for those who can't stand software keyboards and I also thought that it would be usefull for battery cases they can be attached now without having to hide the connector on the bottom and they now have a way to talk to the phone like the apple case(which looks like hell) but I am corious what you guys can think off

It's a pity the modules only plug in on one side, (otherwise you could plug in 2 speakers either side), but they might be able to have a module that matches the top speaker for stereo.

How do they expect people to use cases with these modules? Will the cases have cutouts or would you need a special case for each module?

Preordered already a LG G5 for 599USD. Want I want to see would be an external display to make the current 16:9 resolution to 21:9. Pretty geeky I know, but for a movie it would be something. Otherwise already mentioned a better speaker.

Thats pretty neat! But how about using simultaneously two different modules? (B&O Hifi plus + QWERTY/Z pad or a device to use multiple sim cards actively (business, privat, data package etc.) Since LG is allowing third party companys to make their own module for the LG G5 there is the potential for good and useless things.

I live in switzerland and somehow our mobil phones always had great UVPs. Our phones are usually unlocked in term of sim card usage. Bootloader is something i don't know yet. Hoping for the best case.

I see, that's good. I honestly doubt it comes with an unlocked bootloader but if it is an unlocked version hopefully it comes with unlocked bootloader as well, isn't it possible to just root and unlock in the future though?

That HiFi DAC + a different and bigger battery = win.

I'd love to see a trackball module like the one on the good old Nexus One and maybe also a USB host type-A module (although it'll be bulky as hell...)

A landscape oriented physical keyboard of course!!! I would love to develop the hardware and software for this and make it a kickstarter if LG is actually open to 3rd party modules (no idea yet?).

I would love a case that connects to the module with an extended battery and maybe a second screen on the back of it, like an e-paper one. That'd be legit

I'm surprised to see that my idea was already mentioned by @onRecord (great minds...), because I fully acknowledge that's it's... a little crazy (but just enough to work!) I think it would be awesome to have an extended display module. I really like the modularity of the G5, but I've had Notes for a while now, and just prefer bigger displays. I'm thinking that the existence of a module that extends the screen about half an inch or a bit more and also contains as much extra external battery as could fit would very possibly convince me to swap my Note 4 for a G5. Usage-wise, it would be sweet to put the soft nav keys and dock on the extension.
It doesn't seem very likely that something like this will ever exist, but I was just thinking what modules would be cool and that was one of the first to come to mind. In any case, props to LG for releasing this legitimately innovative modular feature!

Capacitive buttons +1

An external gaming GPU ? Slide keyboard and a small trackpad would be awesome! Maybe storage moduel? Game controls?(it could be inserted like a phone case!)
Extended battery would be the best xD specially since g5 has a small battery! I wished it had an internal small battery just to last 20-10s for changing the battery without needing to restartit!
A moduel with full size USBs could also be useful! Maybe a moduel with improved wi fi and phone antenna!

Will the 2016 gear vr work on the galaxy s8?

Hi I have a 2016 gear vr with usb type C and I'm thinking of getting the new galaxy s8, so I was wondering if the 2016 gear vr will work on the galaxy s8 or not?

I was just about to post the exact same question and it brought me here!
I have the 2016 VR too, but searching the web doesn't bring up any answers as to whether it will work with the S8. I think the S8+ might be too big for it but the S8 isn't far from the size of the S7 Edge.
Hoping someone can confirm this.
.

It might work..not sure though. I compared the s8+ to my note 7 and it's almost the exact same width and slightly taller.

I just checked but the seller I got mine from has no stock. Can't find anymore listings for it on ebay either. Part number is GH98-40350A. The connector would have come with your gear vr. Usually it'll have the micro usb one installed and the usb c one in the box

I can confirm that the Gear VR that became available with the Note 7 works with the S8 Plus. There are two [2] positions that can be selected before inserting the S8 Plus. I use the one closer marked A. The one marked B is too tight and does not work. See my image here:

It won't work with the S8+ the adapter makes it too long g to fit, nearly an inch or more longer than it'd need to be to work. I have the S8+ and 2016 VR which I was told would work because the adapter to USB C wraps around d the USB micro making it no longer...well the T-Mobile rep was wrong so I'll be going in today to see what they can do so since that's the only reason I upgraded from my S7 Edge. I'm pissed..

Hi I have a 2016 gear vr with usb type C and I'm thinking of getting the new galaxy s8, so I was wondering if the 2016 gear vr will work on the galaxy s8 or not?

The 2016 Gear VR (SM-R323, I believe) works flawlessly with the S8. I got mine off of ebay from someone who got their Gear VR with an S7 but never even opened the box. There was a USB-C connector already attached to the Gear VR from the box and also a separate exchangeable MicroUSB connector for older models.

I have both, the one that came out in 2016 with Note 7 and the one with S8. They seem to be identical in size and the only difference is the remote control, which older gear didn't come with. Make sure you have proper connector attached (there are 2) and adjust position to either A or B, depending on size of the phone. I didn't even notice width adjustment until very recently

Hi. I have S8+ and gear vr 2016. The vr is exactly the same as the 2017 version, just different colour. You can get a usb c connector on eBay and it will work as it should:laugh:

You need to get a USB c connector, not use the white one that comes on the box. I have done it and it works

Sheenswizner you need to get the one on the left
