Or HDMI dock like this:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/11/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-for-atandt-ratted-out-by-its-own-hdmi-dock/

Since when does the OB has HDMI ? It'd be nice if it did have though. Good job don't need to connect to TV if need comes will have to go the SmartShare way.

Cause they are bunch of incompetent idiots - like the rest of LG staff.

Lol @ LG website..
For the topic I may say new generation televisions are having their own CPU and software and thus having a little brain that we can modify with.. and also WiFi so might be there will be a way to connect optimus black to it. But who knows how many of is will have our OB intact till then.!

There are already appearing DVB/Media Center set top boxes based on Android, capable of making many things. Plan to get one.

There are lots of Micro-Usb to HDMI or Composite or Component Cables but does the Optimus Black support it?

works?
microusb-hdmi?

I guess, the OB won't support this.
1. You need a MHL to HDMI cable: Mobile High-definition Link Cable.
2. OB isn't support.
Mobile devices:
LG Nitro HD mobile phone
LG Optimus LTE mobile phone
HTC Rezound phone
Samsung Galaxy Note phone
Samsung Galaxy S II phone
Samsung Infuse 4G phone (bundled with an MHL to HDMI adapter)
Galaxy Nexus phone
HTC Evo 3D phone
HTC Flyer tablet
HTC Sensation phone
HTC Sensation XE phone
HTC Amaze 4G phone
Meizu MX mobile phone

HDMI or something on the nexus one?

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way that I can see my nexus one on the TV. Or if not that, atleast show videos like from YouTube. I can only play audio.
Please help me. My TV has no USB port, but I have a USB thingy connected to my TV through HDMI.

Remote control your Nexus from your PC, and connect your PC to the TV.
But then why would you need Nexus...
I'm afraid it's not possible... the only thing you could do is this.
afaik, the only device through which you can do something like that is desire HD, since it features a mini-HDMI port.
You can't connect it the conventional way, since there's no HDMI port...but you could try through the USB cables
Btw, the Desire HD does not have a HDMI port, but the Evo 4G does.

There is no way to do HDMI mirroring without HDMI support built into the phones hardware, and unfortunately, the N1 lacks any ability to output video to anywhere other than the display on the phone.
What behelit was talking about is using a DLNA server on your device, which will allow you to have your music, videos, and pictures available for people to view over your local network with any DLNA compatible device. All while being wireless. Many newer Samsung and Sony TVs support this, along with a lot of their BluRay players (including other manufacturers) along with the PS3 and the XBox 360. Essentially it works like a dvd player where you will have menus and can pause and rewind and all that fun stuff.
I believe the usb host thread has examples of people using an external monitor, but I don't think the usb output is HDMI...
The USB host thread has people using external USB2HDMI adapter, which gets the output sent for it by the device driver in the OS.
No way to do anything like it without modifying the OS to have USB host capability to begin with. Or building a special external USB host and drivers.

You could try and find a N1 Desktop Dock on eBay and use the mini-HDMI adaptor on that.

[Q] HDMI Mirroring?

How can I best utilize the HDMI Mirror functionality on the phone? I have it working on a Sprint Evo using FullHDMI, but this app doesn't appear to like the Revolution?
Anyone else have it working? If so, how did you get there?
Thanks,

I was just about to ask something similar.. I have tried two different brand mini hdmi cables and i can get nothing to show on my TV. I have tried using it for netflix, videos from the gallery, etc with no success. I have tried all three resolution options with no success... has anyone gotten it to work with the built in HDMI options the revolution has?

Duh. I am such an idiot. I didn't look there. I found it, and it worked PERFECTLY on the HDMI input of my HP All-in-one PC, and on my 65" Sharp TV. Full audio and everything using a cheap cable from Amazon.
Thanks to the original responder for the hint on where to find it, much appreciated. To those who say RTFM, you can suck it because there isn't a mention of that to be found in the guide which came with it.

I had no sound at first. Had to change a setting on the TV to tell it to get sound through the HDMI. Works perfect now. Check settings on your TV.

I've gone through settings, enabled HDMI and tried two different TV's (both less than a year old, one is Vizio, the other is Samsung) and neither of them are working. Any Ideas?

At this point, your phone could have a bad micro HDMI port. I'd have it replaced with a new one. But if you feel like its not your phone then take your phone and your HDMI cable to best buy (or any store that sells Televisions) and ask a representitive that you want to test it out before you buy it (the TV ofcourse).
Most reps will let you hook in your HDMI device without causing much fuss.
If your phone works then its your TV.
If it doesn't then you can get another HDMI cable to test out (or find someone who has a micro HDMI phone and test their phone).
If it works on the second cable then problem solved.
If it worked on someone elses device then your phone has hardware issues.

I would need to revert back to stock or they would just write it off as a complication from rooting it....weighing my options...I'll update my findings.

Rooting your phone voids your warranty, so I'm pretty sure Verizon will check for that when they receive your old phone. They will probably charge you the retail price for the replacement phone they sent you.

Mhl hdmi?

Mhl hdmi?
I has already heard wasn't possible but then I saw a site selling it saying normal cables like the one I use to connect to TV with my sgs2 wouldnt work because HTC uses ext-mhl rather than just mhl(dont ask me) so I bought it. Looks like original HTC cable but it doesnt do the trick. went back to stock and what not. No difference. It aint going to happen is it? Ics maybe?
(apologize.in advance.if.theres.another.thread.but.i.just.couldn't find.it)
Cheers!

Micro USB to HDMI Adapter

The razr i has only got a micro usb port you probably know...
Somewhere i heard it would be possible via an adapter to get hdmi signal out of this port...
Can soneone guide me to one of those adapters or is one already shipped with the device?
Thanks

One is not shipped with the device, but if the USB does support HDMI out that would be fun to try for inclusion in other mods.
You'll need to know if the razr i is MHL compliant. If not you should not be able to have HMDI output on the microUSB.
If so, you'll just need a MHL adaptator, something like this:

EDIT: Cancelled.
Apparently it doesn't work on the M, so I'd be surprised if it worked on the i. It will be cool if it does, though.
it does haves a dock app do ,and somewhere in manual and info papers that comes with the phone, you can read several statements that point to a dock port

Hi Robert,
Do you own a PS3, XBox or Apple Tv????
The reason I ask is because if you download app called 'DoubleTwist' from google play store this consolidates all of your music and videos into one application instead of having seperate apps for each.... Once you have this downloaded and all your content on you can download there paid app called 'AirTwist' for double Twist.
once you have these 2 seetings you can wirelessly send your videos and music over any wifi network to a Playstation 3, Apple Tv or Xbox and no need to have cables lying round and probably costs the same if not less than buying the cable!
Hope this helps and if so please don't forget to press the Thanks Button on the left under my user name

Using the Vivid/Raider's HDMI

Before i bought my Raider it said in the specs. that it has HDMI support, when opening the box, it didn't have an HDMI cord. So i'm really curious about it.

I've always wondered about this myself. You can pick up a MHL-to-HDMI adapter on eBay for about 10 bucks. I just don't know if any/all custom ROMs would support it. I also don't know how well the Vivid could handle 720p or 1080p video output. Mine runs a bit hot when watching 720p videos through BSplayer on the phone screen.

Hopefully outputting to MHL would relieve some strain on the vivid as opposed to powering the LCD. But I don't know; so far as I know, only stock roms support MHL (WCX ICS 4.0.3 supported it, but I know of no others).

Damn. Well. If anyone wants to donate a MHL adapter, I would be happy to see what I can do to get it working
I'd order one myself but my checking account is looking at me like a starving puppy, right now.
Ugh, i hear ya. I can barely pay for rent!
