Is it possible to SGS's video OUT(or HDMI out) to Laptop/desktop PC ??
That's kina stupid question. Why do you need video or hdmi out on a pc or a laptop? Just use theusb cable and connect it with the computer. Then either copy the video files on your pc and play them or play them from the phone's memory.

if that so, Samsung is stupid to provide TV-out function for smartphones
Well, it's one thing connecting the phone to a pc and to a TV and you should pick your questions more carefully coz you said

and frankly wanting TV-out to connect your phone to a pc is pointless. Anyway, sgs doesn't support hdmi connection and there are VGA cables made for TV-out that connect to the 3.5mm audio jack of the phone but you only get low resolution and I'm not sure if laptops and pcs have those plugs.

See, actually I wanted to see games/apps on a big screen. Instead of buying costly expensive Tv-out cable, why not have video-out through micro-USB cable to PC (which can be a cheapest way) and that also in HD format, this is what I meant !
But as you said SGS doesn't support HDMI, destroyed all my hopes regarding HDMI out on laptop. Thanks you very much for replying and sorry for creating confusion.hehe!

Well i have had my ps3 for about a month and i bought component cables for it because the hdmi wasnt working. But i have decided i want to use hdmi.
When i plug my high quality gold hdmi lead into the tv and ps3 i turn it on and no picture no sound. I read on the internet, hold the power button in and it will auto set the video, still no sound or picture. I plug the component back in and it works, i go to display settings and switch to hdmi, i switch channel on tv to hdmi it says no signal.
Hmmm...
The tvs im using:
Sony Bravia KDL-32EX403 1080p
Tesco Technika 22" 1080I
The ps3 is a phat 40gb f/w 3.50
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Make sure you are switched to the right HDMI port, I know my TV has a few of them
Then try a different cable.

any external 3g dongle on hp touchpad?
edit: sorry i meant 3g dongle not 3d lol
What's that mean?

I presume the OP is asking af anyone is aware of any 3G dongles working on the Touchpad. They may do, but as the USB port is unpowered, you will need some way of powering the dongle which is going to defeat the object of portability. You would be better of going for a tether to mobile phone, or using a MiFi.
I dont think webOS has USB networking support. Possibly with an Android port something would work, but for now no.
lol yup i meant 3g obviously and not 3d srry lol ... usb port on touchpad is underpowered? that means every device you connect to it must be self powered?? why such a poor design by hp?

They probably never intended for the touchpad to serve as a USB host. So its just powerful enough to be a client to something else.
On that note, is there any likely chance of using the usb slot for any third party devices?
There are videos around showing how to connect it up with an OTG cable and a Y-cable to run a keyboard. I am waiting for my OTG cable so I can try a powered hub, but it has been reported that this method allows keyboards, USB sticks and hard drives to work.

To the OP, if you edit the first post, you can change the title from there. (it still reads "3d")

Hi guys,
been a passive viewer in the xda forums for a long time but never posted anything, so be easy on me - It's my first.
I would like to connect my galaxy s i9000 to the pc screen.
I know there's the TV out option, but it involves a 3.5" to RCA cable, and pc screens don't have RCA jacks.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? and if you know what kind of cable is required that will be great.
I'm using the CM9 rom, build 17 from theam hacksung.
Just to clarify, I want to connect to phone to the PC so I can view the phone on the PC screen.
Thanks in advance
Short answer is you can't.
Longer answer is you might.
Your monitor doesn't have RCA connectors but if you have a tuner installed inside your PC, you might be able to connect it to that and then use the software that came with the tuner to display it onto your monitor.
Another method would be to use a RCA to whatever input your display has converter but they are are usually pricey and after a search for RCA to HDMI/VGA/DVI I don't think they really exist.
Even if there was a 3.5mm to HDMI/VGA/DVI cable, it wouldn't work unless the display was designed to take a PAL or NTSC signal through those types of connections.
With cm9, you need to have 3.5mm to RCA cable plugged in then go into System Settings>Advanced>TV Out. The option is greyed out when no 3.5mm to RCA cable is plugged in and the option has to be checked every time you plug the cable in.
Thanks for the reply,
I knew about the tv-out option, but didn't think about using a tuner - that might work!
Another question, do you think that a micro usb - hdmi cable might work?
I saw a while back that samsung offered such a cable that was designed for that purpose exactly.
I've searched a lot of forums but havn't got a clear answer if this actually works, not have I seen a youtube video demonstrating this.
Does anyone know if using a micro usb - hdmi cable wokrs?

Do you know what tuner you have? I'm not sure if yours will have it but there will be a yellow plug like the ones you find on a TV.
I'm %99.9 sure that the I9000 doesn't have HDMI out through USB. It would seem a bit excessive to have two video out ports. Although you did spark an interesting subject, if someone could whip together drivers to work with something like this we could potentially have HDMI through USB but I don't see it happening any time soon.
Here's another way to view your phone through your PC: http://mymobiler.com/
Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to use phone as a sound card via USB cable? (wi-fi will also do) I broke my 3,5mm audio jack on a laptop. So if you guys know any app or anything at all, please do tell me.
Thanks in advance.
audio over wi-fi impossible because of bad latency (slow delay)
audio over usb possible in theory, but requires firmware modification and pc driver modification (I don't think anyone done that)
audio over bluetooth possible and must be easy, probably work on any firmware.

I am aware of the low prices of USB sound cards. I was just wondering if there is a way to stream all audio from pc to phone via USB cable, for android everything is possible. Well if there is no way to do that, I can live with that.

but it involves connecting X8 ( which is a phone )
1st - If I am not wrong you are looking for a micro-usb to HDMI cable.
2nd - You may want to search for a dvd player that supports pendrives.

The X8 doesn't have a MHL enabled usb port nor any kind of tv-out.. there is no way you can connect it to a television.

You have media players like the WD TV live, the Roku or some other cheap ones like the nbox, etc
Most cheap digital tv receivers also have a usb port so you can watch movies but they are very codec limited..

If your TV supports USB drive, then connect phone with USB cable to TV and make the phone in Mass Storage mode. There you can access all files and folders from the TV.
