Hello!!
I installed tvout.cab from other HTC device to XPERIA.
In folder windows, after installation, some files were creates: HTCTVOutPopUp.exe,HTCTVOutPopUp.png, etc, etc.....
I plug my tv out cable from n95(Jack to RGB(yellow/white/red)), but only the sound from my xperia listen in my tv, no image at all.
Then, I tried to click and execute HTCTVOutPopUp.exe from windows folder with cable jack plug to my TV, but nothing happens.
Also I tried to modify some registry values like:
HKLM\ControlPanel\TVOutSetting, HKLM\ControlPanel\TVOutSetting
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp/PAL...etc, etc...nothings seems to works.
Sound listen ok, but no image.
I think, that if there are any change that tv-out xperia works, the right cable to plug to TV is mini-usb to RGB like touch pro and no jack to RGB.
I hope you understand my post...I am from Spain and I am writing too fast.
It will not work...
Xperia doesnt have any tv-out features
Thanks for trying it out. Like you said, if there is something there, the system will be identical to touch pro.
Would be funny if the connectors are there
From what I hear Touch Pro has a proprietary USB connector that has more pins and uses them for audio and TV-out. On the other hand XPERIA has a standard miniB USB plug that doesn't host more pins for these functions.
If it doesn't work from the 3.5mm jack I doubt that it will work at all (except if it is a software problem). I am quite disappointed with SE because the hardware is there but they didn't bother to implement the feature.
There are another couple of threads about this already, stating most of what's been said here. There is a "TVOutEnable" or similar reg setting that someone found, though I can't seem to find it on my X1i (more than likely due to the custom ROM, it was on the standard Vodafone UK ROM). Thing is this reg setting is about 6-7 digits long, not just a 0 or 1.
I'd like to see if this setting is also on the Touch Pro, and see if copying this setting to the xperia would make a difference.
Another point is that other phones using the same 4-pin audio output route the TVOut function to the headphone/mic connectors, as does the Touch pro; IF the TVOut function is at all doable, then it will more than likely use the headphone socket. Domin8or said in another thread that the USB connector actually has plated connectors on the other side, like the proprietary HTC USB socket, but I can't tell from looking at mine whether that's true or not, though I intend to test it out by hacking the headset I got with the Touch Pro to fit into the xperia USB socket to see if there are any connectors there.
I somehow reckon this will be done at some point, provided we can get the correct reg settings and software to work; the TVOut function as I understand is part of the chipset, which is just ignored by SE in the xperia, probably because of licensing fees/other costs involved with getting the functionality "approved" by qualcomm. If the TVOut functions on other phones use the same connectors as the headset/mic, then I don't see why the connectors wouldn't be present and connected on the xperia, just not enabled by software... That'll be a job for us* at XDA then
When I say "us" I mean the community in general, there are way, way more talented people here than me who might be able to help with this, I just hope I can help in any way I can testing etc...

sorry I`m not english speaking. but are you saying video out works or You just tryed?
i tried my wired htc remote in the x1 and couldnt get it too work, got it hacked down to shape but it wasnt recognised by the device
its also not the same internals as the touch pro or hd as theres no g sensor
well, unless there are hardware limitations, ex : missing pin or those htc devices are using special jacks; i don't see why it won't work in x1 since it's more than 90% similar to Pro and HD, but perhaps it will need more than just a simple registry hacks.
I guess this all depend on the kindness and dedications from many smarter guys in entire x1 communities.
Hi
Its ane hope to make TV OUT in xperia working?
Sort for my anglish
Did anyone tried putting the Rom of a touch pro to x1 then try the tv out with it?
what
a
pointless
thread...
there is no hardware inside xperia to have tv-out. it is the same case like with people looking for fm radio in tytn 2. if I am wrong, I will eat my shorts.

Actually the hardware IS there, we just don't know if it is connected to the USB or audio jack.
It is true though that this seems a long shot.
one of the reasons why I bought the Xperia is because of the TV out....Yikes!
I should have given it a little more research before buying, but if it is really possible, I hope somebody finds out how to do it.

probably not connected to anything brah
So at last is it possible or no ?
It won't work and probably never will.
It won't work because of the contacts e.g. 3.5mm it lacks the contacts for video only for left and right speaker and for mini usb, it lacks pins.. it only works with data and charging..
Hi everyone,
I have a 2010 Honda Insight model with a USB compatible car radio.
I have owned other phones and the car radio supports iPhone 3G, Nexus One and an ordinary USB flash drive.
However a Samsung Galaxy S it does want to recognize. It says first USB LOAD and later UNSUPPORTED on the display.
I have tried several methods on the phone after USB is plugged in: click on home button after MTP connect screen appears, put USB in debug mode and choose to connect drive after USB dialog appears.
Does not work with and without external SD.
Is it the MTP background process that bothers the car radio?
Or it does not support drives which are partioned into several filesystems. The first filesystem is FAT32. But why the Nexus One is supported?
Any clues are very welcome!
not sure but this is my guess.
the MTP is not what the car is expecting. It expects a mass storage usb-drive. In settings you will find usb-options. There you can set it to be recognised as a mass storage device instead.
By some odd reason you also have to pull down the infoscreen and click usb, and then click mount
thanks for your help
in my phone i dont have settings to choose MTP vs MSC (mass storage device).
I did choose in info screen for mass storage device and I connected, but the car radio did not want to recognize.
How can I kill the mtp background process? What is the process name?
i have the same problem with my 2009 Civic Si
I tried all of the usb modes, with debugging on and off for each. still no luck.
insteads of USB, use bluetooth
for usb to work, you need to mount the drive, and make it run as a mass storage device
Is there any other solution for a car without Bluetooth?
I also have a Honda Civic with the USB audio and a Galaxy S Captivate phone. Every connect method I've tried so far fails. Has anyone gotten this to work? My car doesn't have Bluetooth.
Any help is appreciated. I am welcome to solutions that include rooting and loading a different ROM.
I have the same problem on Honda stereo... Is it possible to update the care stereo itself? Maybe someone could develope this into a ROM?
I a have a Samsung Vibrant and a 2010 Honda Civic LX. I used a "Dynex - Microphone Headset for Select Music Mobile Phones" Model: DX-MP3MA SKU: 9535327 (from Best Buy) and attached that to my phone. Then I attached a "Dynex 3' 3.5 mm stereo Audio Cable" Model: DX-MP353B SKU: 8915178 to the "Aux" input underneath the "Lighter". It worked PERFECTLY! It also works perfectly when attached to a Yamaha Home Theater System that was made to be compatible with iPhones/iPods. I used the input for "Portable." I hope this helps!
Obviously I attached both cables to one another.
In fact I am listening to Pandora (using Samsung Vibrant) connected to my Yamaha Home Theater right now and it sounds awesome.

If you buy the equipment from Best Buy, you can always return it.
promet, in theory that won't have the same audio quality as connecting the car stereo to the SGS via USB as a USB storage device.

Hey all,
I've been having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy II LTE (almost identical to the "Skyrocket" from AT&T) in my 2010 Honda Civic USB.
For what it's worth, I've managed to get it at least partially working.
I used "Multi Mount SD-Card" (you can find it in Android Market/Google Play, requires root unfortunately) and tried enabling only one SD card to be mounted at a time.
For whatever reason, it works fine if I only share the the internal storage, but not if I share my 32GB external card. Both music folders are identical, so I don't know if it has a problem with the card being used, the size of it, or if I need to low-level format it, etc (hence another round of troubleshooting next week).
So, I've sorta gotten it working, but not the way I want it to be working. I hope this helps someone.

You may not know how useful USB host is. You can use USB stick (up to 32GB), USB keyboard, USB mouse.
If it had USB host, I'd buy it for sure (wifi only).
Sadly NO...
On German Amazon its possible to pre order the device and the datasheed isnt saying something about USB Host
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/B1gfmv71YkS.pdf
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0041RSF6Y/
This one was my favorite (because of the Phone capability) until you asked this very good question
Maybe they got it rooted in future and then its possible? (depends also on hardware...)
Greetz Tokl
I'd guess that its not going to ever have the capability without hacking. I don't think any device has that at the moment.
I guess what gets hacked depends on what the hackers think is worth doing, and I can see that USB host would be an especailly awesome thing for the Tab so hopefully it will get some interest.
If its a game breaker, you may well be disappoited for a long while tho. This kind of hacking doesn't happen over night.

This is SO true. I remember people trying for years to hack USB host mode in to Nokia's Linux Tablets: the N770 and such. I wonder: Did they ever manage to do it?

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong (as I don't have the device in question) but doesn't the Nokia N8/E7 support just that? I seem to remember a video demonstration of the N8 supporting an USB memory stick.
Also, the Tab will have a dock that has a keyboard, so it's not totally impossible for it to have USB host capabilities.

I don't know about the N8, sadly I just don't have much interest in that part of the mobile space. However, some googling seems to indicate that it is possible (news articles say so) but I don't know if its naitive or needs hacking.
As for the keyboard and stuff, thats a good point. I can't see them using a non-usb standard for that, so it must just be the proprietary connector that makes the difference. In that case, all we should need is a Tab-USB connector, and a few drivers. That would really give the tab some muscle.
In general can mobile devices support the USB min-harddrives ? The ones that power from the port ? If thats possible then the tab will kick serious ass. 250 gigs in your pocket for cheaper than a microSD card.
I'm not really a fan of Nokia's products either, although they USED to make great products they haven't done so in awhile. And I *hate* Symbian. Anyways, at least the N8 DOES have some USB Host capabilities:
"Among the Nokia N8's neater tricks is its support for USB On-The-Go, which basically lets you connect USB peripherals (flash drives, for example) to the phone and have it act as a host..."
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/nokia-n8s-usb-on-the-go-support-demoed-lesser-phones-turned-in/
That was almost perfectly offtopic, sorry for that ^_^
Oh, or not, perhaps! Look what I JUST found:
"USB Standard port adapter
With this kit your Galaxy Tab becomes a standard USB port. With this USB port you can synchronize your digital camera or other devices."
http://www.oled-display.net/more-sa...s-bluetooth-pen-standard-usb-adapter-and-more
Well if they are going to officially make an adapter then maybe we are going to get USB Host... I can't see how you could transfer things off a digicam without the Tab hosting it as a drive.
Well... This looks pretty awesome then.
But they *CAN* cripple the functionality to just mass-storage devices or perhaps just cameras, like Apple did with their USB Camera connection kit, or whatever it was called.
Let's just hope that Samsung doesn't go that route.
Hopefully samsung aren't that stupid Although in theory we should be able to hack it back open anyway, and its a good start at least.
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I'm also wondering about usb host (or at least OTG) on the Tab (as I'm considering buying on to port Meego to).
Could someone who has the keyboard doc post the dmesg output once it's been plugged in please?
From some dmesg output I saw elsewhere (but not with the keyboard dock), it appears that the USB chipset is an OTG version, and seeing it act in host mode with the keyboard doc plugged in would be a nice confirmation.
I Would be interested to see the anser for this one.
Yes it is launched (mainly for photographers) i have seen it's price, very cool cheap at £10000 plus something!

It's not the Fools Day yet, so keep your jokes at bay.
OK, I just ordered a keyboard dock and I'll have a look. I'll post a dmesg output and open it to see if the PCB is marked in any way.
According to the pinout (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9925838) there seems to be no other way for data to flow apart from USB.
So one of the following must (should) be true:
1. Samsung is reusing the pins for a proprietary protocol -probably reconfiguring the device by pulling up or down other pins.
2. The device is capable of host/OTG mode but it is probably unpowered and it probably needs a pin pull-up/pull-down to enable.
3. The keyboard is using unidentified pins, and the USB pins are used simply for the PC connection and power.
Does anyone know if the keyboard acts as a proper dock? i.e. when you connect it to the pc does it work at the same time as (say) KIES or drive mount?
Just a quick update, the keyboard was just shipped, and I should have it by Tuesday.

Hi,
Just wondering whether you got any further with this?

There was a problem with my order (the company didn't have any in stock) and the keyboard hasn't arrived yet. Still waiting!

USB host
This is a good concept. I have an Archos 70 and a Galaxy tab. Archos has a micro usb port with which I connected my USB host adapter and the key board and mouse works . Flash drive and router dongle says more power required. So I am looking for a powered USB connector for this.
Unfortunately, Galaxy tab has different cable and I dont know if I can find a host cable for this. Any suggestion?
Worth a shot?
After reading this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9925838
I checked the G-Tab pinout :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDMI
and tried to ground pin 13 to put the tab in host mode last night... needless to say since I'm typing this on my computer... epic fail. However, I'm curious if anyone else has had any success with this.
I'm not too much of a fan of buying something to destroy... but if I have to disassemble a dock to get the pinout for monitor mode... suck!
Anyone have any advice as to what I jacked up here?
Hi,
I am a new user to the forums. Recently I have purchased TV out original samsung 3.5 to RCA cable for TV out capability but I see distorted image on TV. Thought it was a cable problem and went to at&t device support center but they couldn't help me out because they can't test my device at there center. I wonder any one tried it and if so is there any limitation on hardware/software for captivate.
Please help.

Mine works just fine, quality is comparable to an old VHS vcr.
Some cables you have to switch the red audio out with the video to get them to work right.(use right audio for video, and video for right audio)

Thank you Nick for the quick input. I appreciate your concern.
Might want to also try jacking with the cable on the phone end.
The 3.5mm Jack isn't exactly a "Great" output mthod for Video. Try just pulling it up and pushing it down a little. You can fell where the grooves are. Just try to move them around in there to get a better connection.
Thats what worked for me @ least.
I'm slightly miffed as to why Samsung decided no HDMI out, and instead stuck with a crappy 3.5mm headphone out for video.
Works fine for me....can't seem to get the volume any louder though

Same here.
I just ordered an RCA out cable and am really excited to get it. Even thought it isn't HD it will still be really nice to do.
I was surprised with how good the quality is. I use a cable that came with my Zune dock. It matches correctly to the inputs. My phone looked much better than the Zune did using the same cables.
The audio was great, and the video was as others said VHS quality. Definately watchable. I will say the landscape quality was much better than the portrait quality. On my HDTV I want to say it wasn't full screen, but using the zoom in the TV menu it became full screen, correct proportion.
I agree that Samsung leaving out HDMI support is bad, and disappointing after they told everyone a micro-usb to HDMI cable would fix that, then changed their minds.
This is a problem I won't trouble myself with much longer, I plan on getting an Atrix when they come out.

I just use the usb cable that came with the phone or any other micro usb to usb 2.0 cable. Just write folders on your phone's sd card named PHOTO, MUSIC and VIDEO. Put your photos, music and/or video into the corresponding folders. Plug the phone to the PS3 via usb cable. Turn on usb debugging on the phone. Now look on the PS3 in PHOTO, MUSIC or VIDEO for USB MEDIA STORAGE. There will be all your stuff. You can copy back and forth or just play it on the tv or sound system.

I'm running deeperblue's honeycomb on eMMC and was wondering if I could use a micro usb head set to try to make calls over a program like skype or fring. Has anybody had any sucess doing something like this? or if the hardware would allow it?
Bumping this thread, because I haven't seen an answer to this. I'd like to use Skype on the NC. I've read a number of posts regarding BT with headphones, and my impression is that it will work, but not well enough to use with Skype. If I'm wrong there, someone please correct me.
I can't find a clear post regarding micro USB though. Is there anyone out there using Skype with a micro usb headphone? Does it work well? If so, what's your setup (ROM, headphone h/w). Thanks.
As far i know; thats not possible at the moment.
Hooking a USB headset up to the Nook would require an USB host driver for the USB port on the bottom. Since it currently only a slave port (transfer data and power) you can't hook up a host device like a USB headset or a USB harddisk.
A while back they started a more technical thread about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028417
BT headsets do work as far as receiving audio goes, but sending audio (mic) is not available yet. Also the range is very poor. It'll probably be debugged in the near future by one of the awesome dev's on here.
Not the reply I was hoping for, but thanks for the clear response. Ciao.
