Is there anyway to connect the o2x to a non hd tv?
i think not, becouse hdmi in lg have digital signal, euroscart/composite is analogue, you will need a converter, but i'm not found that hardware, only what i saw is euro-hdmi converter and the cost is very expensive...

Hey guys just want to check that this is the right cable that'll work with my Galaxy S arriving in a few days
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/TVs/Cables-aerials/auction-314849140.htm
So that should fit in my 3.5mm slot and give me video & audio output to the TV?
Also anyone had experience with these? What is the quality like?
Is it usable for watching a DivX movie or something on a friends TV?
there is a topic in the accessories forum
the cable you need is a nokia something something forgot the model #
i bough it on ebay for $3 free shipping, it works!!!!!!!
found it!
Nokia CA-75U

Does it have to be that Nokia cable? Are they not the same?
I'm using Nokia's 3.5 jack video cable.
DivX quality is quite poor, I would not recommend watching over it, if it is a large screen tv, I've tried it on a small scale screen (23") where the video is watchable.
Is there not an HD cable available?
there is no such thing, because it is coming out of a coax 3.5 hole
you can't pass enough power to produce a high res video

U should review the following post

and it doesn't end on the first page
did you notice that is not using the 3.5 plug?
they are trying to hack the USB to display HDMI which is currently not supported and not working
i found an App on Android Market to "enable" HDMI output via USB, but it's not compatible with our phone
then you will also need a cable from ebay to do the conversion from USB to HDMI
I did, lol, it's in the name of the post...
Probably the only way (if it is possible) to output HD signal on this phone is through microUSB.
PS
Through a cable of course...
I can't say I know much of anything about the stuff I'm going to ask about in this thread (probably why I'm asking it, right?) But is there a possibility that the SGS could output a multimedia stream via USB to another piece of equipment that could then output to HDMI? Would this be something an arduino could handle?

I don't think the Captivate has the inner hardware to support it.
I contacted Samsung about using the Micro Usb to HDMI Out cable for the TV out funtion and they that it would not work with this phone.

I'm not talking about USB to HDMI. I'm talking more along the lines of having a high def multimedia output via USB to another piece of hardware that can interpret the stream and output to HDMI in realtime.
If you have a way to connect it to a PC with and HDMI out, I'm not sure the capabilities of the captivate but if you have a way to get it from USB to either VGA or DVI dual link(specifally) you can get a converter from one of the two to HDMI, although from VGA to HDMI a converter is $100+ , I can't imagine it would be much different than getting a PC with VGA out connected to a TV with HDMI in, and that's the exact method I would use

No, mainly because that 3.5mm is for audio only nothing else, you could out put that sound on a tv but not video.
I guess you can get some HDMI to RGB and ebay

Unlikely because the lg hdmi connector is not universal, you can get standard hdmi to rgb converters but iv never seen one compatible with the mini or micro hdmi port lg used.
I have a media player that has a mini hdmi port and its not the same as the one lg used.

The reason your media player's port is different to the O2X's is because, the O2X uses a micro HDMI (type D) port, not a mini HDMI (type C) port.
Other than that, micro HDMI is micro HDMI, it's an industry standard. It's pin identical to HDMI and mini HDMI, just smaller.
That aside, converters for HDMI > RGB do exist, but they're more than just a cable, as you'd be converting digital signal to analog.
Has anyone found a compatible mhl cable to order?
Sent from my LG-P880
I've tried Samsung and HTC cable but the quality is not top notch. The television says the signal is 720p but it looks kind of blurry... anyone have any information on the video quality outputted from the phone?
Sent from my LG-P880
i didn't try it for myself, ebay has a lot ....
ebay {2]
Search on google for: 3m 10 Ft MHL Micro USB HDMI 1080P 3D Cable fr Samsung Galaxy i9100 HTC Sensation
This one works over here.
I tryed my old MHL cable adaptor (bought some months ago for my old SGS2) and the video quality it's great but no digital audio from device. :'(
Some other people tryed other adaptor?
Samsung works great
I bought the one from Samsung original, amazing 1080p quality, best I ever saw on my 40 inch television.
It's the one that samsung offers for S2 and S3 and it works really perfect, no lag, no glitches and it gives amazing high quality.

But Samsung has different cables for S2 and S3... I have MHL adaptor for S2 and it works perfectly with P880. With sound of course...
Is there a way to wirelessly mirror content? I think the SGS3 can do this with a special apparatus or something.

I retried it and great video and audio. Sorry. But only in 720P. My TV it's HD-Ready and not FULL-HD.
My MHL adapter it's a simple model compatible with GS2 and I bought on eBay one year ago. I payed it only 10 euros.
I can see some of you having success in display it on the TV
but I have try two different MHL adapter (I dont know if it is for S2 or S3 but I can;t seem to get it work on a computer monitor with HDMI
are there any sitting I need to change or apps that I need to install???
Maybe some settings in the hidden menu will do the trick for those where it doesn't work (not tested, since I don't own a MHL-Adapter)
Type: 3845#*880# in the phone app and the hidden menu will open. Scroll to the end and choose "HDMI Resolution Test"
There are some Settings, maybe something will make the Adapter work
will try
Hey,
I am occurring the same problem, and its annoying, but credit to Hidden92 in the "resolution" menu under "HDMI Resolution Test" , i have changed resolution to any of them and only once the email on my Samsung TV appeared.
Also i have noticed that the settings that i am selecting doesnt saved and each time i am getting into "HDMI Resolution Test" menu , the settings rolled back to default.
Well...
Anyway , you should try to do this , the less it will work for you
=====EDIT======
I have managed to Play movies using MHL cable.
it has been some connector problem, i have moved the cable abit left to right and it begin to work.
Hey MrWunderbaum,
I own 4X and using Generic MHL cable 1080p that was bough for 15$.
Everything works fine.
You should try.
In Addition, LG owns their own MHL cables , but they are abit more expensive.
I tried and mhl 3M cable that is supposed to charge the cell phone while you project, but the problem is that it must be connected to energy to work. the cable is supposed to be designed for samsung SIII and SII
Sorry for hijacking this thread a little bit and pardon my rant.
Not too long ago i bought a mini HDMI to HDMI cable for my Optimus 3D. But now im using 4X, I can't help but feel i've been f**king trolled by LG somewhat cause that cable i had is now utterly useless. Instead they are using this MHL cable.
i mean, why can't they put a mini HDMI port for the good of saving the planet and our wallets like what they are doing for microUSB?
I've got few questions in mind. Are they going to introduce another cable for their next line-up? Is this MHL port here to stay? Nobody wants to spend 30 bucks buying a cable and to have it put out of the picture by the time he change phone next year.

MHL will stay I guess. Mini-HDMI is actually quite useless, it is necessary to add an additional port to the phone for something that can be done using the already existing one (less places where dust can get into the device). The only problem is the high price for MHL cables (The mini-HDMI adapter for my O2X was about 3€).
Cheap and good
I use this: http://goo.gl/13LEr
Play 1080p and Netflix for HD TV very well.
I have ordered myself S2 mhl adapter that also has seperate charging port. I dont need long wire as i already have long hdmi cable connected to tv, so i just needed smaller adapter to connect to tv hdmi cable. Hope it works - mhl + charging
Check out the 1 i ordered (already shipped ) :

Does anyone know if it's possible to mirror the phone screen on a TV over WIDI? I know you can use the MediaLink hardware, but surely if my TV has WIDI then I should be able to mirror the screen without having to buy this? Cheers
I've never heard of WIDI being mentioned in the HTC specs.. no luck getting it to work?
A cheaper alternative to the pricey wireless HDMI interface HTC is selling is to get a cheap (starts around $10) microUSB to HDMI MHL dongle. Try that

There's a WIDI option under the WIFI settings, but I can't seem to get it to connect to my TV..... Will look into the dongle. Cheers
