Video out?

So finally the streak is set to launch in the US this weekend. I've been waiting for this device but now i'm not sure because of the connection. Is it proprietary or has it been confirmed that it is PDMI?
One of my concerns is that if there is a cable that charges and does video out, similar to the HTC one, mini-USB (extUSB) to component (Yellow, red, white).
Currently i have a mount for my tilt2 and i just plug in the miniUSB and set it to video out which is connected to my nav screen.
My main worry is that if it is a proprietary connection, we won't be seeing many accessories and the ones we do see will most likely be from dell and cost a lot.

so far you are right
I am carrying my one charger cable to and from work everyday as I refuse to pay £ 25 for a cable that probably costs £ 1 to make

Ditto, I keep telling myself id better get spare in case I loose it......but 25quid!!!!!!!!!!!!

BenQ PDMI Cable Compatability
I found a cable designed for a Benq Joybee Projector.
However, it has VGA (analog?) out instead of HDMI(digital?).
It's labeled on some sights as a PDMI cable, and BenQ calls it a "CEA" cable.
Would this require it to work with the Dell Streak (if it is infact PDMI)?
I like the setup of this cable; but I can't afford to take a chance.
Please, take out spaces from Ws.
Sorry admins for circumventing restrictions.

It should read:

PDMI is a CEA standard, so it's not surprising to see it labeled as a "CEA cable", although it's technically an inaccurate name.
Having found that same cable for the Joybee projector around the time of the original post of this thread, I dug a little deeper and found that the Streak's chip does indeed support VGA out (1024x768 max), but whether the Streak or Android 1.6 has the necessary implementation to enable it is still a question mark. Since one of my desires with the Streak is to use it for Powerpoint presentations with a projector, this would be awesome if it did work. I'd much rather carry this dongle rather than the Dell Home AV dock and VGA is quite standard in the Pro AV world, while HDMI is almost unused in that arena.
Anyone willing to pop the $65 (US) and test it out?

any luck with trying out this cable? or does anyone know of a way we can mirror the dell streak display to an external screen?

Samsung Galaxy Tab RCA cable review

I'm back again with another review. This time I took a look at the official Samsung RCA cables for the Galaxy Tab. Make sure you watch my full review and for those who like to read, I know there's still a couple of you out there, I have a short summary at the bottom.
http://www.youtube.com/v/kgBDaZgM2Mg
Since before the existence of the Google TV I've always been the type of person who wanted the internet on their TV. I usually resorted to connecting my desktop or laptop to my TV but because it wasn't as convenient as something like the Google TV it wasn't something I did often. But now that I have gotten a hold of the RCA cables I am able to watch my favorite shows right on my TV via my Galaxy Tab.
I went ahead and skipped the unboxing since there wasn't anything except the cables inside the packaging. This setup was as simple as 1, 2, 3 and maybe 4. I just plugged the proprietary 30 pin connector right into the Galaxy Tab and the yellow, red and white audio/video cables went right to the back of my TV and switched my TV to the correct channel and I was up and running. Everything that showed up on my Tab was mimicked on the TV. The real reason I bought this cable was to be able to stream my TV shows right from the internet. Sometimes I download a show and put it on my Tab then just watch it later on my TV when I have time. There are no additional settings you need to mess with. Its definitely as simple as it sounds. Here's a little pros and cons list for you.
Pros:
-Extemely easy to use; plug and play
-Inexpensive compared to the dock with HDMI
-Image quality is great when sitting about 8-10 feet away
-The Tab doesn't need to be docked so its easy to just pick up to play, pause, fast forward and easy enough to just send a quick email then get back to the video.
Cons:
-Cant charge and output video at the same time. It occupies the 30 pin connector.
-If your sitting sitting 2 feet away from the TV you can definitely see pixelation. But seriously, why the heck would you sit that close to the TV. Are you trying to go blind?
-Image doesn't fill the entire screen on my 42" LCD TV.
-You can't turn the screen on they Tab off while you are watching. If you do, you will just get a black screen on your TV. Best thing to remedy this situation is to just use a backlight dimming app and keep it on the lowest setting.
Overall though, for $29.99 (or lower if you know how to shop around) there's no way you can go wrong with this purchase. I have watched full length movies and a bunch of anime and it looks excellent from 10ft away. So if you want a Google TV-like experience without the need to shell out $299 for one then I HIGHLY recommend picking this up for your entertainment needs.

Excellent review, I'm in the same boat as you as I too like to connect my gadgets to the TV - Here's my question. Having used both the RCA & HDMI accessories, which would you recommend? The portability of the RCA or the High resolution of the HDMI? Or which would you recommend as a 1st buy? Thanks!

I would definitely recommend the RCA cables first. Like i mentioned, I don't have both but I believe I chose the best option. The quality is great when you're sitting a little further away and they fact that it's compatible with almost every single TV is a bonus too. I recently was at a motel and took my wire to watch some shows and it was an older style box with no HDMI so it worked in my favor. You won't go wrong with the RCA cables.

The D in DRM stands for "Digital". RCA cables are purely analog, therefore they don't support DRM.

thanks for the info I guess i will be happier with the rcs cables (less quality i assume) but not "D" for DRM. I dont understand the idea behind them not wanting you to output it to the tv though. If you are paying for or renting it whats the big deal? or is it more about selling you a tv or other device so you can watch your content on the bigger screen???
anyway thanks!

Meh, I picked up my HDMI dock shipped for 42$ they don't tell you you need an HDMI A to C cable as well, amazon 10 feet, 10$. All in all 52$ for my tab to be docked HDMI. More worth it IMO.

I'm interested in the hdmi dock also. Like the rca cables, does it also duplicate everything on tab to the tv? And can you watch your downloaded movies such as from torrents on it?

I wonder if Samsung will make a straight a 30-pin to HDMI (or mini-HDMI) cable. Would be the ideal solution. Since the 30-pin connects to the dock which then outputs HDMI, AFAIK it should be possible?

Ill get my mini HDMI cable today and I will report back once I try it. I know one thing seeing my tab in 62" 1080p will be freaking awesome if it outputs everything lol.

The hdmi dock output everything.
Home screen, pictures, games, movie.
The different to the rca cable i can see, is that if you play a movie on the tab while in the dock you got the movie picture only on tv, the tab will only show controls like volume, seek etc on its screen.
In youtube, if you start to play a movie it shows on tv, and you can continue to search other clips on your tab while the first one is playing on your Tv

Just got my dock / hdmi plus rca cable as well. didnt have a chance to rent a movie through media hub and try it but will report back. it does play files that i transfer over to the GT movies etc... on each hookup hdmi /dock or rca.
****Something STRANGE happened though****
I hooked up the RCA cables with an extender so i could make the rca cables longer which i did BUT i keep getting little tiny shocks while hold the GT? WTH? what would cause that and how can I fix? is it a bad cable somewhere? CRAZY!!!

It's not "CRAZY!!!", it's dangerous. Any number of things could be causing it, if you take your cable extender out of the equation and the problem goes away, then somehow that is probably the problem. If you can lay your hands on a multimeter you can check that each contact point on the cables is isolated from each-other, but a short in the cable is unlikely to cause this problem. If the dock is involved then I'd say it's something to do with the way it's wired up internally, either intentionally so (can't imagine why) or it's got a fault.

Yes it's possible. Doubtful they'll make one as it'd kill sales of the dock.

What is a "multimeter"?
I will remove the extender and see if it still shocks (which I doubt) but I cannot try the other cables with out the extender. So I guess thats what the mulitmeter is for?

[Q] AV Output possible?

I jailbroke my mytouch 3g aka htc magic and was running cyanogen6.1, originally with amon ra's recovery but then switched to clockwork for ROM manager.
It was running pretty crappy after owning it for a year and dropping it a lot, so I hit up tmobile for my upgrade and they told me that the hd7 could do video out, and that her husband had done it.
I've been searching for the past two days trying to find anything about it and nothing. I talked to tmobile a few times and a few people at htc. One person at htc said that it would have to be a docking station type thing with the microusb (to connect to phone) and a 120v us power plug, and an hdmi out. I asked if he knew if they existed with rca outs and he said yes but harder to find. I can't find rca or hdmi outs on any docking stations for this phone. Does anyone have any intel on this?
Thanks.
DaveG

Seriously?
No replies at all? I can't be the only one that wants video out capability. Maybe because I started with my xda background of rooting my mytouch people stopped reading.
I want to know how to video out of my hd7. Audio is obviously easy enough. 3.5mm to split rca or whichever you want. But will a microusb to hdmi work? Can you get a microusb to a single yellow RCA? Was the htc guy right that you have to have a docking station? Docking station seems like a good idea either way because the main reason I would want this is to watch netflix and freinds houses that don't have internet and such. Docking station would hopefully give you the ability to charge the phone and video out at the same time.
Any replies would be appreciated.
DaveG

RCA to HDMI isnt easy, and doubt unless you knew electronics in an advanced way could hack something up i think your stuck

What about just using a microusb to hdmi cable to connect to a tv with an hdmi in. Would the phone automatically know to transmit video signal across the microusb or is there an app that could manage that in existence yet?
Also, has anyone heard of the docking station the htc guy referred to that has a 120v us plug and has the ability to charge the phone and transmit video via hdmi output from docking station, at the same time?
I just returned the phone and am going to go with the new G2X instead, but this info could still be helpful to some.

That would be useful for me :-D

Yes it supports TV out. You need to buy an MHL adapter though. That said, it works like a charm. However, it does bog down the performance of the device (except when playing movies) because it's having to do the processing for two displays instead of one. Playing games, or web browsing, etc will be noticeably slower. However, if all you're using it is for media output, you should have no problems.
You can usually get your hands on an MHL adapter for about $20 or less.

I'm thinking about buying a HDMI MHL "cable", but have anyone here tried this one or this one? Do we need a specific MHL cable, or can we use all of them?
Edit: Found the original Samsung MHL cable for 20 Euros, so i think i'll go with that instead. It says its for SII and Galaxy Nexus, so i guess it'll work with the Note too.

Either of the one that you listed should work just fine. There's really little/no difference between those and the official Samsung one because MHL is an open standard, and hence will be compatible across many different platforms and vendors.

OK! Thanks

Now, here's a tip for possibly getting your official Samsung MHL adapter for free: Go to your local AT&T store and ask the rep if they still have the accessories for their Infuse 4G display unit. Normally they send those all back to corporate, but if you're lucky, they may still have theirs, and since corporate just throws them away anyhow, the store had no issues with just giving me their spare MHL adapter for free

I set it up with external power but couldn't get it to work. The phone switched to CLOCK.

Would a cheap $11 eBay MHL adapter work well or do we have to fork out $40 for the Samsung one?

I bought a (what would be about) $9usd cable in a small store in Hong Kong, and it works perfectly.
You have to plug the power part in first (I have a power bank thing which works well), then the micro usb into the phone, and then the phone will start outputting. Don't just plug in the microusb->hdmi and then the power, that didn't work for me and I spent a while trying to figure it out. I haven't noticed any additional lag at all.
Everything is displayed. When the phone is in portrait mode (e.g. launcher) the TV will have lots of black on either side. When playing videos landscape, it takes up the full tv screen. Sound is also output.

my tv does not have hdmi and only have the traditional red/yellow/white input. Is there any cable to connect my note to my old fashioned tv?

You can probably get some kind of HDMI to component converter, but with hdmi being digital the signal will need to be converted to analog so it will be expensive.

the price you will pay for that best you buy a new tv because the convertor sucks trust me when i say so..... a proper convertor will run 100 bucks plus even then the tv can handle the HD res so it will flicker and blank in and out or dont shows at all... spend 129 and get a nice 27" or higher native hdmi monitor...

Well, now you have one more reason. Also, a 15" CRT (ie. the old-style tube) TV consumes several times more electricity than even a 40" LCD/LED one so you're only doing a disservice to yourself by using it.

How to turn off screen using hdmi out? as battery consumption is so high even the charger cant keep up when streaming video.

I'm also having problems with my MHL adapter.
I bought this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005KJYMSC/ref=oh_o00_s02_i00_details
from amazon, as it was cheap says specifically it is compatible with the Note.
But it doesn't work, my TV just says no signal. I have the charger plugged into it, I have my 3g turned off. Everything seems right, but it wont work. I'm rather annoyed.
I have a feeling, that despite it saying so on the listing, it is infact not compatible with the Note. It says on the packaging max resolution 1280x720p... so that could well be the problem.
Moral of the story, buy the official Samsung one and save yourself the bother!

Guys,
I would like to connect my note to my car radio (7 inch screen) which has video in RCA cable.
I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261025098138&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
However, it does not work when I try it on my TV. It says 'no signal'. I was told by the seller that the Note does not have the TV out option as opposed to the S2 for example. I've checked the specs on the samsung galaxy website (TV out for S2, no TV out for Note in the connectivity list).
So, is there a specific cable like MHL to RCA that I could use?
Thanks

I got the original samsung mhl adapter from a very nice fellow here on xda for $10 shipped, he had a bunch of them he was giving away, I tried it on my S2 (Note on CM9 doesn't do MHL) and other note was broken.
Once I get both my notes back I can update the thread with more info.

Micro-usb Audio out cable

Hey guys, I found this cable on Buy and it looks interesting. I have not bought it yet but it does list the Bionic as compatible. Has anyone tried it? If so, please let us know how it is. If not, and you have a spare $10 go for it and bring back word. When mine comes I'll do the same.
Thanks!

So would be used for headsets with microphones, right? I see no reason for it unless that is the case.

It would be for 3.5mm audio out from the USB port w/o buying motos full car dock set.

Can you charge the phone while using this? It appears to only have a male USB plug, without any provision to plug a charger into a female jack.

i dont think this cable will work, and if it does id be a waste to not just spend another ten bucks and get the moto OEM cable +charging
heres why: the OEM cable not only charges and outputs audio but, more importantnly, *it bypasses the internal SW amp*. this means you are outputting as clean of an analog signal as you can from the phone to be amped directly by your car's components. you lose the ability to DSP/FX/Beats control, but if you use NeutronMP like you should be, it doesn't matter at all

Wouldn't trust the compatibility list, as Apple i-devices are listed as well. I used to be interested in a product like this, but seems redundant to me now... (why not use 1/8" Jack/aux cable?)
