TV Out - Droid Incredible Accessories

Anyone know where to get the TV out cable?

Google 73H00274-00M
I believe that's the cable as it has the extra USB connector to charge the phone while it's outputting the video.

I think this si it. YOu may want to email the seller and confirm tho.. http://www.amazon.com/OEM-HTC-Out-Cable-ACT100/dp/B002OOZDSE

I think that cable is mini usb not micro

Correct that is mini not micro, cable will not work. But what about the combination of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OOZDSE/ref=oss_product and
http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Micro-Male-To-Mini-Female-Usb-Converter-Adapter-Cable-p-11269.html
I think $20 bucks is worth the try.

That won't work either... the adapters only push through the standard pins, not the special pins used by HTC for their TV out...

dammit
i need to get 6 of these cables....
anyone know where i can find out how to build my own?

one for each TV in the house
Seriously I need this... with the skyfire browser this will be the most useful cable ever. No more hooking up the laptop to watch last week's shows that I missed.

I have heard from wirefly that verizon wireless will give it out in a month..
But what I dont like is that there is no dedicated output port in incredible .. (ie its a matter of time when your phone will get discharged ).. So this thing will be useful only for quick preview on TV(like done for camera).

they could make a cable with an inline micro female to charge simultaneously

do not buy the ACT100 cable it does NOT work with the incredible. the slot is like the same as the HTC HD so it will not fit.

According to this video HTC explained that the TV-Out cable has an extra Micro USB port on it that allows the device to be charged while having the TV-Out cable connected as well. Really hope we get this cable in stores soon as I'd love to try this feature!

Correct you will be able to charge as its plugged in.

I just really hope that the dev who made the app to sync a Wii remote with Android comes up with the HTC fix. It would be so nice to have all of these game emulators on your phone that you can play with a Wii remote on your TV or anywhere there is an RCA connect.

Off-topic: There is a bluetooth controller that supposedly works with HTC Sense 2.1 devices I am considering purchasing, the MSI BGP100. I dont much care for it, but it supposedly works according to the dev website. It uses the app Gamepro on the market. Id much rather use the Zmote, but Ill probably just wait for Wiimote support on the Incredible.
On-topic: VZW warehouses dont even have them in stock. As in, they are still awaiting mass-production apparently. Fullfilment Inventory= 0. A few HTC events have had the cable being demoed but not for purchase. Good god how I long for one! Like many of you I have also scoured the interwebs for one with no success. Outside of bumping into a htc rep, looks like we might just have to hurry up and wait fellas.

Yea, just as everyone else i want one bad!!

It is not listed on their parts site yet either. Even though a lot of stuff there is back ordered.

This is it right here http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=145166 or you can go on ebay and get the docking station I moded in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2067979#post2067979
I think expansys has that docking station too and the OEM version which carries 2 USB ports and an already included 3.5mm jack, but I wouldn't shell out $100 plus for it. Just my 2 cents

4 in 1 cable gets you comppsite video out and VGA out if your TV has that port. I've tested it and it looks really good either way.
Excellent, where's the best place to buy? Expansys? Are there any generics I should avoid?

Since you are in the USA, go to OnTheGOSolutions.com They always seem to have them in stock and they get them out FAST. Prices are all about the same. Call them though, they aren't showing it on the web site at the moment. I don't think you'll find generics to worry about.
Why do youwant it on your TV anyway?

the main reason is because i have two daughters (one is two years old and the other is four months). At family events, everyone always wants to see pictures. Since i usually keep lots of pictures on my device or an sd card, i can show pictures from my device. its very annoying going from person to person, or passing my device around the room, hoping no one drops it or spills something on it. Showing everyone at once on the tv seems like the best solution.

Keep a set of S video or a/v cable in the car along with the 4 in 1 cable and a spare charger. I know exactly what you mean though, especially when it gets around to the kids hands. By the time it reaches back to you their are multiple windows open and the pictures cant even be seen anymore. Not to mention of the mistress calls while the inlaws have the phone in their hand (lol). Just ranting and talking bs, but do get 1 of those 4 in 1 cable or a docking station for the phone's sake.

Its nice to knw i'm not the only one with this issue. I can tell this cable is gonna be one of the 'must have' accessories for the advantage, for me anyway. Lg style i, nutshell belt clip pouch, good screen protector (i use boxwave crystal clear, as suggested in a different thread) are essential to this device, IMO. Of course, a good bluetooth headset may be suitable to replace the style i, depending on your prefernce. Personally, the only time i just love a headset is while driving. I keep the wired headset that came with the x7501 in the car. It works great, just plug it in and go. No need to turn on device, activate comm manager, turn on bluetooth, set as hadsfree, yo get the idea. I only use it while driving though, i just can't see walking through the mall (or anywhere else) with wires dangling from my head, not for me.

Let me know how it is. I work in Pomona and that's pretty close to whittier also.
yea give us a review, I'm interested cause it would be ideal to play the games and browse the web on the tv (for me at least)
The resolution will be very limited because of the connector type though.
Cant find this item anywhere... can some one help with a new link

The good news is I did receive a FULL refund,

hopefully they have it. i dont remember seeing it.
I have that cable right here, and it doesn't do a thing on my MT3G. I suspect T-Mobile has it in their assortment for the Touch Pro2 (which does work with it).
I wouldn't waste my money on ordering it. If the MT3G had TV Out enabled, someone cooking a rom would have found references to it ages ago.

The cable has audio, but my MT3G didn't do anything with it. It has a charging port, and that appears to be the only thing that works. As I said - on my Touch Pro2, there is a control panel option for TV out, and it works perfectly on that.
As it only has the composite, yellow, rca for video out, I don't see it as a big loss ( sorry for the people who already bought it) that it doesn't work. Like said previously, the res on your tv would be really bad anyway. Hate to say it but my ipod touch has component out on its cable and that is analog, but at least it's high res.

Ac t110 tv out cable with hero??

I got the AC T110 TV out cable for HTC and I have a movie transferred from my PC onto my HTC Hero, but when I try to use the TV out cable nothing happens on the TV or phone. I called tech support and was told there is a third party application to make the cable work with the Hero, but they could not tell me the name and I couldn't find the app. Does anyone know one?
Short answer: No
Reason being: I don't think the hardware for TV out is actually in the hero. That cable is meant for the HTC Touch Pro (and maybe Touch Pro2).
Unless somebody discovers that the TV out is in the same video chip, and can get it to output it and then write the software for it.
Though I have never seen the need for it, I thought the entire purpose behind our funky Mini ExtUSB was for Video out....

nah htc just made that proprietary to make their own little headphone adapter during the touch diamond era. at least, my friend had one of those...
The ExtUSB has been around for too long.. On most of HTC's phones that have a 3.5mm jack, the functionality of the ExtUSB is expanded to video. I've noticed some funky stuff with different OEM and third-party adapters, so I'll check later.
So I guess the answer so far is No? Cause The tech support lady seemed pretty certain there was an app that could make this possible with that cable from the Hero...

You made the fatal error of believing something a tech support person said to you. Half the time they spew garbage that is fed to them from some guide on how to milk money out of customers or how to placate the customer instead of actually helping them. Failing that they just make something up and hope you don't know any more than they do.

Why hasn't anyone produced a cheaper alternative yet? I know it's not a common connector, but the phone has been out for a long time now. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you want one YES

lol..well said.
i hate that phones/laptops use proprietary ****...
but i guess that's where the money is so its stupid not to from a business standpoint.
thats why I always like nokia and htc,,
they would make a top shelf unbranded universal device.
no bs chargers, or batteries, or no mem slot, internal battery etc...
they give you a completely unbranded, un tainted device that actuall does everything...
not the almost everything that these cell phone companies do..
they cant give you everything in one phone because then you will never buy the new one they are selling.
so all that considered the dell streak starts to look pretty damn good...
atleast until the HD3 is released.
I would never have bought this if my HD2 didnt suffer touch screen death.
had dual boot super tech wm 6.5.5 touch rom with froyo 2.2 bluetopia rolling.
It was best of both worlds..
made my nokia n97 seem like a toy.
now the Dell streak has done that even with the HD2..
Extremely impressed!
They call it a tablet but its really a giant cell phone.
they should get Brock Lesnar to endorce it...
it would look very proportional i bet..
so if any marketing vp's are reading this.. there you go...
And,...Brock if you're reading hook me up with some UFC tickets..lol

Not that HTC is any better with their USB headphones on some models like my Touch Pro2! And PDMI is not proprietary, but Dell jumped the gun. They should all just have stayed with Mini USB.

Due to the formatting that post was ridiculously hard to read as it just didn't flow.
I agree that paying £20+ for what is supposedly an open standard plug (PDMI) is a bit excessive however it's a sellers market when people are early adopters. In time we will find that the plugs will become available cheaper cables will be produced, I believe members on XDA-Developers have already sussed out the pin-out for the cable, they just need the plugs.
I have been trying to source some however as of yet haven't had any luck, second I find some I'll be making cables like they're going out of fashion.

You can get an adapter for the USB headset, but the one that works with a headset with microphone is quite expensive. Besides, it is a real pain, carrying it around, trying not to lose it, etc. And the strange thing about the Touch Pro2 is that sound through the speakers is much better than through headphones.
Really? Not if you steal one.... Lol
Second... Shouldn't that have been a question you asked yourself before you bought a $400 proprietary device?

Exactly, the Touch Pro2 has the best hardware keyboard around and music wasn't my first priority. So I got it and still use it as a business phone. Every device has some drawbacks, as mentioned by others, if they made them almost perfect, why would you think of upgrading early?
keep an eye out for the samsung galaxy tab aswell it uses pdmi connector so should work on the streak, you can also get tv out cable
Ignore above
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just read on mydellmini site someone has both the Streak &the Galaxy Tab. He states that no they do not work.
The question now is which is standard pdmi, Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak or are neither ?

The charger probably works, the cable it's a no no unless you change your streak port to fit an ibrick plug.

Looks like someone may have found an alt source for cables. They expect a sample from their supplier next week and may be making a bulk order shortly there after - last I heard it was 3 cables, AC adaptor, car adaptor = $30.

No - that is NOT what I reported.
That USB charger does work with the Streak - but you need to use the Streak's USB cable to connect it.
The iPad has a completely different USB cable to the Streak ! The cord that comes with the car charger is to fit the iPad, not the Streak - so you can just throw it in the bin.

The picture showing the Dell Strea sync cable on the website linked above seems to indicate in its caption that the same cable could be used for a Zune HD (I say seems as I don't read Korean).
Would someone be able to verify that a Zune HD uses PDMI (and the same 30-pin connector) and so possibly ZUne cables may be an alternative?

Basically, it seems that firmware dictated how the usb cable charged. Rooted my 1.6, and flashed up to Stock 2.2 released by Dell for its unlocked units. I'm unsure if the earlier versions (2.1) would work too. Anyhow, no longer had any problems and could charge in my car just fine without overheating. Make sure whatever usb car charger you get, that the port has at least 1A of juice coming out. Good luck!

IBOLT MHL Adapters Not Working..A Sign of things to come ?

As IBOLT seems to be having a number of growing pains with the electronics for their new dock, I wonder if what problems we will see with their long delayed USB/Audio cable if they are unable to get their MHL cables to work outside of their Sales Office.
I didn't try mine yet. Will see if it works and post here

You would be a pioneer then and the first to make it work.
It is strange that it doesn't work. You would think it would have been tested before sending them out. Weird.
www.ibolt.co/products/mhl
I think their mhl adapter is only a 5 pin not an 11 pin because I don't see the gs3 or gn2 on their list of working devices.

could be but we have tried using the adapter they sent and followed the picture they posted but it still does not work. My guess is they never tested it on a USA GN2 as their photo shows a GS3 and we all assumed that it would work on the GN2.
emailed them this morning. Wonder what they are going to do. It would be nice to have a working MHL for the note 2, but then again, it was free so i can't complain too much! Besides, the car dock is great!
I agree Jon but it has to make you wonder if your hopes of a working USB/Audio cable will go up in smoke if they did not even properly test the MHL cables on the GN2 before they were sent out. And although they were free, they would have been better served to keep them in Utah if they were not going to work.
Free MHL cable does not work with GN2
Hi there,
I can also confirm that the free MHL cable that came with the car dock does not work with Galaxy Note 2. I tried different HDMI cables but no luck. After connecting the charger to the microUSB port of the cable the phone starts charging but no picture on the TV.
Mine also doesn't work. Tried different combos of chargers, usb cables, hdmi cables, connecting to tv and receiver.
Has anyone been successful using this MHL to HDMI adapter?

It apparently works if you are in the IBOLT office using a GS3 but I am not aware of ANYONE including the IBOLT Engineers that have made it work with the GN2. Does not give me much faith that we will ever see a working USB/Audio cable.
Hopefully I will ger a response from ny email this week. So far all is quiet.

Me too. Several people have bought USB Audio cables with a specific resistor pack and made them work. It looks like they all needed to load a different kernel. I am convinced there is a technical issue that requires a Samsung software mod.

Its cool, you just gotta drive your car to the iBOLT parking lot where the dock cable will then work. It's large enough for two cars to do figure 8's at the same time

It wasn't free, I count it as costing $5 since Prime wasn't turned on as promised.
Please post to this thread when anyone hears back from iBolt tech support.
iBOLT 11 Pin MHL Adapter for Samsung devices
Hello XDA Community! This is my first of probably many posts as we here at iBOLT try to keep information coming. First of all, you have to love technology. iBOLT, as most of you know, sometimes get caught in a situation where we produce a product that works with one release of a phone and may not with another release. For instance, the iBOLT MHL adapter to convert the Samsung 11 pin microUSB output for MHL to the 5 pin standard for MHL works for all International devices (S III & Note II) but doesn't for North American devices. When we tested and produced the adapter, it worked great. Now that we have sent out hundreds to our loyal iBOLT family, we are caught up in what most of us would call - Murphy's Law - we tried to do a good thing and send out a free gift to help compensate for the delay in shipping the xProDock for Samsung and it turns out not to work. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you will once again - HAVE PATIENCE as our engineers try to understand what the differences are between the International and North American Samsung devices. I'm sure that we will find a solution and we will do our best to keep you informed. Wow - first post and very long. I hope this helps answer some of the questions.......we will be sending out replacement adapters when they are available. Sorry for the long post......

I'm still trying to figure out what the correct resister resistance it to get otg and charging to work correctly. So far afaik no one has gotten it to work. We need a brave soul to pull apart the smart dock to see what it has.

First...Thank You! I was pretty sure that was the case and know it can be a bit embarrassing to have your customers find issues like this. (Learned that lesson more than once myself) Clearly checking this will be on your list of things to do before releasing the USB/Audio cable.
