[Q] Watching films using special HDMI adapter? - HD2 Accessories

Just saw this: http://www.eforchina.com/view/85184...-3D--Support-720P-HD-Output--Length--18cm.htm
is it possible to watch films on TV using this adapter? or this will not gonna work?

I don't think so because as far as I know our HD2s can't output AV via usb.
Shame though because that would be groovy

So if you are using one of those phones you can actually get HD quality from your phone to your TV?

that would be great !

[Q] 3.5mm Video Output

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7458985&postcount=47
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737825
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...

[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 !

I bought the same cables from radio shack also. Work good, but do have to swap red and yellow to get video.

HDMI

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?
Sent from the first phone to ever get a speeding ticket.
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
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

Does USB C TO HDMI work

I was thinking of buying this phone as a dual solution for mobile and tv gaming.
Does cables like these https://www.amazon.in/AmazonBasics-Type-C-Digital-Multiport-Adapter/dp/B01LYJQ5ZD/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1547955384&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=usbc+to+hdmi&dpPl=1&dpID=31EODvfY81L&ref=plSrch work
If not can you suggest a phone under 15K which supports these connectors?
I don't think it does.
have you tried it?
Do you know any other phones that support the cables which are under 15K?
You can use this application to check if your phone supports HDMI output https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wikimediacom.MHLChecker

I have not tried it but surely it will work. These cables mirror your phone's screen on TV, so that you can play games, watch movies. But I will suggest you something else.
Instead of buying cable, go for casting device like Amazon Fire TV stick. It has the option to mirror your phone screen on TV. Since it wireless connection , no need to sit near TV.
Amazon fire TV stick also has lots of apps like Netflix which is useful. Hope this helps
Well the app said it doesn't. And probably is right.
There are only a few phones left that still support MHL.
