Hi,
I am a new user to the forums. Recently I have purchased TV out original samsung 3.5 to RCA cable for TV out capability but I see distorted image on TV. Thought it was a cable problem and went to at&t device support center but they couldn't help me out because they can't test my device at there center. I wonder any one tried it and if so is there any limitation on hardware/software for captivate.
Please help.

Mine works just fine, quality is comparable to an old VHS vcr.
Some cables you have to switch the red audio out with the video to get them to work right.(use right audio for video, and video for right audio)

Thank you Nick for the quick input. I appreciate your concern.
Might want to also try jacking with the cable on the phone end.
The 3.5mm Jack isn't exactly a "Great" output mthod for Video. Try just pulling it up and pushing it down a little. You can fell where the grooves are. Just try to move them around in there to get a better connection.
Thats what worked for me @ least.
I'm slightly miffed as to why Samsung decided no HDMI out, and instead stuck with a crappy 3.5mm headphone out for video.
Works fine for me....can't seem to get the volume any louder though

I also get the same distorted video and a buzzing-hum that drowns out the audio with my 3.5 to RCA/AV cable. I have tried both tv out settings on the phone and swapping the red and yellow ends of the cable. I can, however, use my Play Station 3 to watch, copy and save videos and pictures with the usb cable. It works great and gives awesome audio and video.

Same here.
I just ordered an RCA out cable and am really excited to get it. Even thought it isn't HD it will still be really nice to do.
I was surprised with how good the quality is. I use a cable that came with my Zune dock. It matches correctly to the inputs. My phone looked much better than the Zune did using the same cables.
The audio was great, and the video was as others said VHS quality. Definately watchable. I will say the landscape quality was much better than the portrait quality. On my HDTV I want to say it wasn't full screen, but using the zoom in the TV menu it became full screen, correct proportion.
I agree that Samsung leaving out HDMI support is bad, and disappointing after they told everyone a micro-usb to HDMI cable would fix that, then changed their minds.
This is a problem I won't trouble myself with much longer, I plan on getting an Atrix when they come out.

SM Galaxy S Captivate I896 running CM7: 3.5 mm to AV out?
Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone knows whether or not I can use the 3.5 MM to AV out option with a Captivate I896 that has been modded with Cyanogen Mod 7.
I don't seem to have the TV out option in my display settings.

As far as I know it's not (yet) supported by cm7. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Curti.nogg is correct, unfortunately :-( TV-out is not yet supported with CM7. Maybe if enough people talk about the devs will look into it...

I just use the usb cable that came with the phone or any other micro usb to usb 2.0 cable. Just write folders on your phone's sd card named PHOTO, MUSIC and VIDEO. Put your photos, music and/or video into the corresponding folders. Plug the phone to the PS3 via usb cable. Turn on usb debugging on the phone. Now look on the PS3 in PHOTO, MUSIC or VIDEO for USB MEDIA STORAGE. There will be all your stuff. You can copy back and forth or just play it on the tv or sound system.
Sorry it took so long to answer, I totally forgot all about this thread.
I just picked up a Thrill and tried hooking it to my TV and it keeps saying no signal. Is it I have a bad cord or is there a setting I need to put the Thrill on to mirror it to my TV? I don't actually need to mirror it, I just wanna watch movies from it on my TV.
Please HELP!!!!

just hook it up
I did that and I got nothing and I don't have another cable to test if that is the problem.

That happens to me sometimes. Try changing the input while connected and go back to the hdmi input your connected to. Or turn the tv on then back on. It can also just be that you have to play with the cable connection

I tried changing thru the HDMI channels and no luck. I also tried playing with the cord but nothing. I didn't try the TV off and back on yet but I will. You think it might be just a bad cord or a bad phone? Cause the phone functions fine besides the HDMI out.

i have to go through the hdmi option on the phone for some reason when mine is set to automatic it wont work yet if i choose 1080p or 720p it works fine hope this helps
press the power button to sleep the phone and then power it back on and see if it shows anything. If i plug it in while the phone is displaying then it doesn't show anything until i do this.

We have a couple more months till we upgrade TVs to get a HDMI capable TV. Would there by any issues with getting a converter to RCA jacks from the HDMI cable out from the phone?
If you find somewhere that sells Micro HDMI to RCA let me know. I mean I could always go to DVI but I would lack the sound.
From what I recall the actual device required to convert from hdmi to rca is quite expensive....it requires some sort of signal processor box...
but I could be wrong.
http://hdmitorca.net/
It does require a processor box, because you need to transfer Digital signal (HDMI) to Analog signal (RCA). That's why You won't find just a simple hdmi-rca cord.
the converter boxes can range from cheap to expensive depending on quality, and if you are looking to scale up or down. IMO with down scaling quality is not as important as with up scaling.
I cant seem to get my hdmi to work either I guess i'll try some of the suggestions here
Any other suggestions, I cannot get it to work and I tried all the suggestions here, Do I need to be in a specific program for it to work?
try Post #7 on fist page of this thread. also some tv's don't pick up automatically what is being broadcast as far as the signal. you may have to play around with your hdmi output settings to match your tv.
Some hdmi tvs have to have a firmware upgrade i cant connect my fios tv box to mine without doing an upgrade according to the fios guy i gotta use the old rca style hd cables

can you watch hbo go on the phone to the tv because my phone tels me to unplug the hdmi cord
I just got the $80 Droid Bionic Lapdock and it's working beautifully with my Droid 4 but Webtop leaves a bit to be desired.
What I really want to do is simple. I want to run CM9 and have the tablet UI show up when I dock the phone.
So far I've gotten Android to show up instead of Webtop by using my old Droid 3, however it was not output in the lapdock's native resolution due to the way the phone handles HDMI out. Obviously under normal circumstances you want both screens to be showing the same image but for this to work I need Android to be output at full res (1156x768)
Lets hack it to disable the built in screen and switch over entirely to the HDMI output but at native resolution. I will continue to work on my rooted phone and ICS Droid 3 but if anyone has done any more work please do share!
Not sure what I can contribute but I will gladly help and test on my end. I have an atrix lapdock working at the moment. I would love to either get a webtop2sd to work, or a full debian/ubuntu install running on the lapdock. Let me know if i can test anything.
Hi there,
i was searching for a way i could stream the video output of my ouya on my Notebook. Without using the HDMI output.
The Idea came because i only have one HDMI TV and i am not livng alone, so for basic things the sreaming would be good for me.
Anyone some ideas?

Mods, please move this thread to the q&a section..
To kind of answer your question, look for something that shares the screen from a phone/tablet over tcp to a laptop and sideload it.
You can by ALIENWARE m18x laptop, it has separate both HDMI in and out.
So you can connect OUYA via hdmi cable to it.:silly:

It seems like everything uses HDMI these days, from home theater equipment to your Android phone. With so many HDMI devices in use, most televisions quickly run out of available HDMI input ports. You don't want the hassle of plugging and unplugging cables whenever you want to watch or play something different and you don't want the expense of new TV. Just get this 4x1 Enhanced HDMI Switch from Monoprice!
What he is looking for is a alternative option to the TV he shares. I don't think many laptops have video in. You would need to get a USB device to do that. However those are capture devices and I believe the OUYA signal has DRM restrictions.

Some USB capture devices have been known to work, you'll have to look that up, but there is a dev working on a way to do it over a network. Right now it's still in the concept phases, however, and I wouldn't expect to see it anytime soon.
My Nexus 6 recently got a broken screen.
I have been trying to hook it up to an external monitor using a type-c to HDMI adapter. However I quickly learned that you get an on-screen prompt when connecting a display Wich I cannot click ofcourse.
Is there any way to bypass this? Or is my best bet to just connect a usb-mouse and just click aimlessly?
Thanks in advance
nexus 6 doesn't support MHL.
adb is your solution but chromecast may be better? Search: "adb command cast screen" for options that include 'scrcpy'
