[Q] TV Out ?

First off:
Running Cognition 3.04
TV is Vizio 32" LCD 1080P
3.5 mm to rca red,white,yellow
not sure the brand of cable, just one I had lying around.
I seem to be unable to get tv out to work. Is there a certain cable that works better than others?
TV OUT Settings are on, and using NTSC. I tried PAL also just in case. I tried all the tv input settings (av1,av2, ...etc)
Saw this work in numerous videos. I must be doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any input!

I Had a similar experience but my TV is older... I just presumed that the TV couldn't handle the output. At one point I was able to get a really faint sketchy image of the phone that was live but nothing that would let me watch any videos from my phone with it.
Edit: I found Twonky Server Mobile in the Market and stream from my phone to my Xbox360 with no problems. I recommend the app it's great!

I went on ebay a typed iphone tv out get the one with a 3.5mm jack

Got it to work! It was the old cable I was using. I used my buddies nice new Belkin cable and it works great!

How does the quality look? Sound too?

Video Quality: Not so great, but I really didn't expect great quality through AV Cables.
Audio: Not bad at all!
I tried a couple games through headphones coming out of the tv, and the sound was real good.

Eh, not bad. Wish it had an HDMI OUT!

Exactly, that would be sweet. I read a post on here somewhere about a cable that is mini usb to hdmi, that Samsung made but then gave up on. Why oh why would they do that?

I bought a cable from radio shack and it works fine. Connected it to my 46" samsung hdtv and an older tube tv. The older tv only had a cable input so I connected the rca thru a vcr. Both work fine. One note u do need to switch the yellow and red cables when connecting to the tv. Colors wont match up to get it to work.

Well I'm not sure what cables you are using but, Yellow is video and white and red are audio on mine so that ain't happening. But as previously mentioned, I got it to work with new cable, matched all three colors.

i read this too on a forum with the following additional info: (not sure on accuracy)
the reason it doesnt work / needs update for HDMI cable to work has something to do with the dock, in order for HDMI to work in HD through USB it requires all 5 pins/wires, and programming the phone to use them for hdmi would stop the docking cradle from putting the phone into desktop mode.
Samsung basically had a choice to make. Docking cradle with dock mode OR usb/hdmi.
**once again that was read on a forum, truthiness may very.

I just posted an email to Samsung support about compatibility and what software is needed. I will let you know what I hear.

Hi guys , did someone finally manage to get this hdmi cable to work (Samsung ECC1HU0BBEB) with the captivate
I bought it , have tried several ROM's and still nothing yet ! No signal !

[Q] aftermarket Micro USB cable

I just bought micro usb cable from pc shop. Try charge my IncS its show charging but after 1/2 hour the battery only charge 10%.
Same case when i use in car. Charge while using gps to navigate, but my battery still drain fast and at the end shutdown.
Its look like the charge slow using aftermarket micro usb. Do u guys face this problem? Why this happen, i tot all micro usb cable is same.
TQ
Sent from my HTC Incredible S

yeah i was in the same boat. i bought an aftermarket usb cable. and the cable wouldn't charge or allow me to mount my sd card on PC from Phone. But it works on Nokia C3-01 phone just fine.
I'd stay away from those cables and just buy the genuine HTC cable, atleast they are reliable.
if you want a more cables just look on ebay you can find them cheap, i buy mine for AU$3

I bought cable for Samsung captivate, it`s work fine with pc & car charger. Before Samsung cable i bought cable "prolife" and couldnt charge phone with that.

I've bought this cable: http://dx.com/p/designer-s-flexible-usb-charging-data-cable-for-htc-174cm-length-73860
Works terrible.
I get slow downloads and slow uploads.

Not surprising. The cable is flat, so the pairs aren't twisted, basically clobbering the noise immunity.

Couldn't not be because the shield is not solder in both ends?
By the way, thanks for the insight.

Same problem. I tried with a nokia micro usb cable and it doesn't work! The usb cable of my kindle instead works fine

But the original HTC cable is also flat: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=196200&phone=196001
I'm reading at Amazon for a guy that reviewed the cable as only working for charging... but in the product description says that should work for data:

the htc cable appears to be slightly thicker, which should give them room for the twisting.

I've find out that the problem only happends when I connect the cable to the monitor (external Dell monitor) and does not happend when I plug the cable directly to the desktop (the front USB port).
I must add the Samsung OEM cable is 95 cm and the "HTC" is 174 cm.
So I think is a matter of noise and cable length.

Multi-functional 4 in 1 Connection Kit

Has anyone tried this accessory with the GN2? Looks pretty useful, just want to make sure it works without rooting.

I have one and it works great. I've only used it for transferring in photos from my digicam and some files from a few thumbdrives, but it's worked perfectly thus far.

I have one. No need to root as stock OTG support is fine, but will not read NTFS.
There are a couple issues I have with it used with Note2:
- it will not act as a dock... it will not charge your phone while it powers memory or USB devices.
- it cannot be used with a case, unless you also buy an extension cable... M/F micro USB
- mine feels a little weak, like it might break off in the micro USB port & is intermittent if moved.
It's easier & cheaper to use a OTG cable unless you need to power USB devices... then you could add a hub. If you use a smart dock, you get charging, 3x USB, audio, HDMI.
For the cost, it would have been nice to have it charge as stated for S2.

Bought it for use with my Galaxy Note and now use it for my Galaxy Note 2.
Works great (yeah, not with a case on unless you have an extension cable), have used it with SD cards, Keyboard, mouse (yup, puts a mouse pointer on your screen!), external hard drive (but you have to plug in power (usb or wall charger) for that), I have even plugged in my Creative USB headphones and they work great! Awesome device.
If I was to make it, I would put a little sturdier plug on it (see other post for "flimsy feel") and make it so it had a VERY short plug (like a 1/4 inch longer) so it could be used without popping the bottom out of my TPU case).
If someone has a link to a SHORT m-f micro usb extender, SHARE please !!
:good:

HDMI added, and the short extender you want.

Did anyone tried the version with the hdmi?If it works,it could be a good alternative to official smart dock (100$)

It seems that it doesn't charge the note, as per the reviews, when the usb host is used.
I want something that charges it, to use it in the car, sending video to my headrest screens FROM a USB thumb drive. So I'd need USB+HDMI out, plus charging. That would be great to have. But only playing videos from USB drive WHILE CHARGING it would be enough for me. Although there are dongles for the Note 2 that would allow HDMI+Charging, there is nothing AT ALL in the market that would allow USB HOST+Charging capabities. Not an Android phone, not a tablet (other than Toshiba/Acer with USB ports on the side).

I think MHL will not work because the 11 pin vs 5 pin connector we have like the Galaxy S3
Found this comment on amazon:
This thing is magic! All of these different ports in one simple accessory is brilliant! They don't claim that MHL on this unit works with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and sure enough MHL does not. Everything else does though. Having all of these ports on one small accessory makes the most of any compatible smart phone.

But if you also use a Micro USB 5 Pin To 11 Pin (4$ from ebay) I guess it would work

Maybe not, from the Amazon reviews:
cannot charge and use usb device at the same time.
plug in charger and usb device is disabled.
fails on nexus 7 and galaxy note.

Chances that it would work on the Note 2 are slim I fear.

Anyway I will probably get the older version with the card reader and usb port,it is more portable!

A powered USB hub should work Just test it out, the worst thing that could happen is that it will boot stock image, just pull the power to stop it.

Hey guys.
I'm in NYC for a few days and I'm looking for an OTG cable, powered or not. At best buy and at radioshack they look at me like I'm asking for the impossible. I'll be in towns until Tuesday, and I'd like to ask if anyone knows a store where I could buy this cable.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say, I have yet to see a powered OTG cable in a retail store, even my geeky local "has a majority of stuff Monoprice carries" store does not have this particular type of cable.
If B&H Photo/Video has these in stock, it should work (but it'll cost more than getting the OTG cable on eBay)
Pioneer DJC-WeCAi 2.6' DJ Controller Cable - $29.00
Neutrik NAUSB-B USB Female Type-A to Type-B Converter - $5.21 (If you can find an equivalent that's not designed for panel mount, all the better)
Comprehensive On-The-Go USB A Female to Micro USB B Male Adapter Cable (4") - $2.99
-OR- NTW USB Type A Female To Micro USB Type B 5-pin On-the-Go (OTG) Pigtail Adapter - 4" - $5.99
-OR- StarTech Micro USB Male to USB OTG Host Adapter Female (5") - $5.99
$37.20 or $40.20 (if you go with a more-expensive OTG adapter) plus tax...
more expensive than the Chromecast itself but everyone has priorities.
Connections would be:
Pioneer cable RED A (flat) end --> Chromecast wall power adapter
Pioneer cable BLACK A (flat) end --> USB OTG adapter cable
Pioneer cable B (square) end --> USB A-B converter --> plug your USB Stick in here
USB OTG adapter cable --> Chromecast
You might find the right parts to get this cheaper, you just need to plan it out in your head. I was just sticking with stuff B&H has since they're in NYC.

Thanks,
I was planning a visit to B&H, but now it became mandatory.
I'll try the one from #3. I could wait until I get home, but can't leave NYC without rooting or bricking my Chromecast, in my hotel room.

Just so we're 100% clear, you'll need 3 total pieces to make it work - the Pioneer cable, the USB A female to B female adapter, and one of the OTG cables.
I also hope you've already checked your serial number against the rootable serial numbers and you know that the hotel's TV may not have HDMI enabled, and even if it does, its WiFi probably won't allow Chromecast to work.
If you brought your own wireless router, then you only have to deal with the TV though. Actually, if possible, I would take everything you need
with you to B&H. If you explain what you're trying to do, they might let you borrow an input on one of their TVs - then you won't have to worry about the hotel TV being locked, unless you already know it's not.
Good luck!

Just to add these cables are usefull for more than just hacking a Chromecast.
I use one to connect Hard Drives to my Xoom (Tablet) since my ROM supports OTG.

Sn are 3920 3921 3922, this shouldn't be a problem. Ref cables I'll take a look at the links later at the hotel. Thanks for your input.

USB charging cable available on Amazon

I typically check amazon a couple times a day to see if there are any new accessories available. Today I see there's a 36-pin usb data/charging cable available for $8.99 US. It's only 1 meter, so same size as the one that comes with the tablet, but at least there's finally something.

A thought: if I plug this into a usb3 hub I can use flash drives etc w/o the dock. The cable that comes with charger can probably do the same. Maybe this is already obvious to others.

No, you still have to use the wall plug that came with the tablet since it uses a different voltage than normal microUSB chargers. You can use the wall plug that came with the tf700 however.

Unfortunately, no, usb hubs dont work that way - it's the wrong connection type. There is, however, an OTG connector available now (at least in the US) that will allow you to connect a hub.
