Is there any cables like for other phones to connect HD2 to a TV ?
No
(cause the HD2 doesn't support TV-Out)
this has been asked before...
that thread didnt come to any usefull conclusion..
do a search for it... the end result i think was something like the usb port on the HD2 isnt capable of video/audio throughput...
I don't know why you want to do it, but if your tv has a usb port you can connect it that way and use it as a media gallery.
The other option is if you have an htpc, output the video to the tv via the pc and My Mobile.

Are there any usb controllers I can use to game on my HD2, this is one I have found (attached picture)...
I saw a vid on youtube where someone used it on their phone with a mini usb to usb adapter and then connected the usb to mini usb adapter (the one pictured) to the controller.
I have the BGP100 remote but it is not as apealing as the usb one pictured...
are there any alternatives ? I would really like to use something with a joystick (i.e. ps3 remote)..but I have heard the ps3 remote is not useable on the hd2 (at least yet)....
I would like to use it mainly for emulators (snes, nes, psx, etc....)
any ideas? Thanks for your help in advance...
Ugh I wish USB worked on the HD2... The closest thing to progress I've seen is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638201
THe power this device has is being wasted on text messaging and lame touchscreen games.. I need emus working with controllers.. I'll velcro a USB SNES controller to the thing if it was working...
What about a usb or bluetooth keyboard as a remote? would that work? Or what about just any usb remote ? I see this discussion which includes drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375407...
would that work ? can anyone shed any light on this topic? or does anyone have any experience with any of this ?....
I recently purchased a 3.5mm to video/audio cable for my samsung captivate and I am noticing that the quality of the videos on the 46" LCD TV is not that great compared to when i watch the same videos on my computer. The cable I purchased is a Scoshe brand that I found locally from Fry's Electronics.
Is the sub-par quality due to the phone output or the cable itself? What has been your experiences with TV-Out?
Thanks.
You're using a VGA cable, you'll never get HD quality content. It's akin to trying to run a VHS on your new 46" TV. It'll just never look as good as the HD content you've come to expect in the last few years.
For me, it works well enough on my GF's old 90's tv if we're going to watch a movie or some TV shows. I would never use it on my TV at home though.
dude not vga, rca, aka composite video. composite is a notch above vhs and a notch below dvd. so yeah it's the tv out and the cable.
hopefully the micro usb to hdmi will work on the captivate with a future update. there are reports that it works on the epic. if not you can share with dlna via allshare.
i have a $50 media box thing from netgear and it works but the phone cant push the video to it you can only tick the video for playback (dont add to playlist) and let the other end play the video. also windows media center can be a dlna server and an xbox can play it as a media center extender, the ps3 is also dlna certified. there are also upnp apps in the market that should work with xbox. and ftp and webdav apps that will let you mount the phone as a webdrive or access with a browser. i know many of those options are great in the home but useless for travel and if your home you dont need it anyway.
the netgear device i have is very portable but unfortunately you still need a usb wireless adapter to use it, im sure there are similar devices that have built in wireless but may be more expensive.
Thanks for the respones. Would you suggest getting a "higher quality" cable or am I just basically stuck with what I got? The pictures and videos look blurry (and pixelated) when I view them on the TV and I just want to know if it has anything to do with the cable.

live with it till the usb to hdmi thing works
edit; if the cable feels very thin and fragile it may have poor noise rejection, some are not sheiled very well. also if the you had to mix the colors around to get it to work that's not good. video cables are a different impedance so you need to use the yellow one for video. i know 3.5mm av cables dont follow a standard format and i dont know if you had to mix and match connectors to get a picture. but on a 46 inch tv you wont get good quality no matter how high the cable quality is, it's just an old inferior technology and why the make s-video, componant video, vga, dvi and hdmi.
I have a 46 inch LCD and have attached the phone to it. A HD movie looks ok, but not near as good as running via the PC at 1080p via HDMI. When and if they get the microUSB to HDMI working, we should see an improvement.
Hello
I'm looking for the cable to connect HD2 to TV screen
Is there such a cable I would love to have a link Web
Thanks
i also want to have a cable like this
last thing i heard on this subject was that the HD2 does not have the appropriate hardware inside to support tv-out
Is it possible to SGS's video OUT(or HDMI out) to Laptop/desktop PC ??
That's kina stupid question. Why do you need video or hdmi out on a pc or a laptop? Just use theusb cable and connect it with the computer. Then either copy the video files on your pc and play them or play them from the phone's memory.

if that so, Samsung is stupid to provide TV-out function for smartphones
Well, it's one thing connecting the phone to a pc and to a TV and you should pick your questions more carefully coz you said

and frankly wanting TV-out to connect your phone to a pc is pointless. Anyway, sgs doesn't support hdmi connection and there are VGA cables made for TV-out that connect to the 3.5mm audio jack of the phone but you only get low resolution and I'm not sure if laptops and pcs have those plugs.

See, actually I wanted to see games/apps on a big screen. Instead of buying costly expensive Tv-out cable, why not have video-out through micro-USB cable to PC (which can be a cheapest way) and that also in HD format, this is what I meant !
But as you said SGS doesn't support HDMI, destroyed all my hopes regarding HDMI out on laptop. Thanks you very much for replying and sorry for creating confusion.hehe!
Hi guys,
been a passive viewer in the xda forums for a long time but never posted anything, so be easy on me - It's my first.
I would like to connect my galaxy s i9000 to the pc screen.
I know there's the TV out option, but it involves a 3.5" to RCA cable, and pc screens don't have RCA jacks.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? and if you know what kind of cable is required that will be great.
I'm using the CM9 rom, build 17 from theam hacksung.
Just to clarify, I want to connect to phone to the PC so I can view the phone on the PC screen.
Thanks in advance
Short answer is you can't.
Longer answer is you might.
Your monitor doesn't have RCA connectors but if you have a tuner installed inside your PC, you might be able to connect it to that and then use the software that came with the tuner to display it onto your monitor.
Another method would be to use a RCA to whatever input your display has converter but they are are usually pricey and after a search for RCA to HDMI/VGA/DVI I don't think they really exist.
Even if there was a 3.5mm to HDMI/VGA/DVI cable, it wouldn't work unless the display was designed to take a PAL or NTSC signal through those types of connections.
With cm9, you need to have 3.5mm to RCA cable plugged in then go into System Settings>Advanced>TV Out. The option is greyed out when no 3.5mm to RCA cable is plugged in and the option has to be checked every time you plug the cable in.
Thanks for the reply,
I knew about the tv-out option, but didn't think about using a tuner - that might work!
Another question, do you think that a micro usb - hdmi cable might work?
I saw a while back that samsung offered such a cable that was designed for that purpose exactly.
I've searched a lot of forums but havn't got a clear answer if this actually works, not have I seen a youtube video demonstrating this.
Does anyone know if using a micro usb - hdmi cable wokrs?

Do you know what tuner you have? I'm not sure if yours will have it but there will be a yellow plug like the ones you find on a TV.
I'm %99.9 sure that the I9000 doesn't have HDMI out through USB. It would seem a bit excessive to have two video out ports. Although you did spark an interesting subject, if someone could whip together drivers to work with something like this we could potentially have HDMI through USB but I don't see it happening any time soon.
Here's another way to view your phone through your PC: http://mymobiler.com/
