[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

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...

MHL cable anywhere?

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?

i didn't try it for myself, ebay has a lot ....

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 ) :

[Q] MHL display low resolution problem

Hi! I am having some problems with my brand new HTC One - I connected it to my 1080p monitor using an MHL -> HDMI adapter(one of the cheap ones from Amazon) and the resolution of the screen is locked at 640x480 60Hz. There is no option on the phone to change it.
I used to use the same adapter with my Galaxy Nexus before, and it would display 720p just fine - and since the HTC One has a full HD screen I expected to use Full HD resolution over MHL as well.
Is that possible? Has anyone done it personally?
Cheers

Doesn't quite work like that m8, the S3 had similar issues, I tried on different TV's and got different results, on my LG 47inch 3D TV i get 1080 at 30hz and on my panasonic viera 32inch 3D TV i get 720 @ 60hz. So not 100% as to why but try a different TV, you may get better results, I personally couldn't find a setting to alter it.
I've been holding off buying an MHL as there was latency issues causing delay on the S3, I didn't want to waste money and get my hopes up if it was going to be the same thing on the One.

I bought the MHL 5 pin adapter few days ago and returned it today because it was simply crap. The micro usb port did not work, however the sound/video did but the battery would get drained fast I could watch 1 full movie with about 30% battery left so I had to charge after that.
I ordered the HTC media link now and will try how that works, from what I have heard and seen it seems 10x better than the MHL adapter and it should since it costs quite a bit more than the MHL adapter

Any good usb c hub with hdmi and pd charging?

I've read some forums that the s5e can be picky with hubs. Any good hub out there that has hdmi other than 1080p resolution, and can charge the device at the same time?

I just got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JK9DFKH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uCV3EbRH1ZV23
It cost $24 and has four ports (1 x HDMI, 1 x USB 2.0 Type A, 1 x USB 3.0 (Type A), 1 x USB-C (with PD))
I have it plugged into my Tab S5e with a wired keyboard and mouse while charging using the USB-C port.
As I am typing this in Tap Talk, I have Outlook open, Amazon Shopping app open, and watching Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix.
I am getting audio through my BT headphones.
I've also tested this with my Note 10+ 5G and it works great on both devices.

Any USB Type-C docking station made by a well known brand should work pretty well with the SGST5e

Hi, i use a adapter similar to the one gernerttl posted.
It works with a Hisense 4K TV on HDMI with 4k 30Hz but the aspect ratio is wrong. I have got black borders left and right on the TV.
Does somebody know, how to change the aspect ratio or maybe also the rsolution? I think 1080p is enough and i would like to get 60Hz for maybe playing retroarch on TV.
P.S. on an other TV it is 1080p and 60Hz but still block borders left and right.
Dex works ok
Smart View is not usable with HDMI connected.

I have personally been using this since my S8 and its been working perfectly fine for me https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXMNF1X
It also seems to work better with my S8 charger then with the newer Note 10+ Charger for some reason. and yes it works with my Tab S5e as well which is nice.
