[Q] How to connect SGM to TV?

Hi,
I have Samsung UA-32C5000 32" TV and I want to connect my Galaxy Mini to it because I want to watch some movies from my SD card, but unfortunately my TV doesn't recognize my phone, I know it is a driver problem. How to fix this? I can't find a solution by myself, maybe some of you can help?
Thanks.

I read a long time back that samsung phones can be connected to tv...and games can be played..with the video o/p being on tv. but have not tried it yet...
i'm not helping in anyway now

AFAIK,
it's need something like HDMI output from your handheld to TV (like samsung Galaxy SII), which is GT-S5570 doesn't, CMIIW.......

I don't see any HDMI port on Galaxy Mini, so i think it is not possible to view tv or play games or music on your tv. Unless you can connect via USB. But, that doesn't allow playing games. (You might be able to access your sdcard contents though, but not so sure!)

Usually I just plug in my USB flash drive to watch movies, but I don't have it around at the moment, so I was wondering if it's possible to read only from sdcard... (to use it like a USB flash drive)

Don't know about that (I probably don't have a Samsung TV and won't have it atleast for next 5-10 years, if any i would)... But, if there is USB port in your TV, then you might be able to play videos and songs in the flash disk. Why don't you try and see for yourself?

I connected my phone through USB cable but TV doesn't recognize it.
Sorry, works now!

*double facepalm* wonder the quality of 240*320 video on 2560*1600
Its awful

* super triple facepalm * Phone's screen resolution doesn't affect the movie's quality/resolutuion. lol. For example, my USB flash drive doesn't have display at all and I am watching 1080p movies from it.

MHL Videos with Subtitles[SOLVED]

Well. S4 is quite powerfull for our device and well. Its kinda useless unless you do something that requires that firepower. Well Sony has put a great H/W mhl chip and it can interpolate the screen to FullHD if you have proper cable and tv. Watching Hd movies is a pleasure but only sometimes. I know English and i dont need subtitles. But when i wana watch a film with my family. And its full HD. I cant. S/W decoding lacs and it shows subtitles. H/W is perfect and smooth but Sony didnt make subtitles to be shown over H/W decoding on the big screen. Have anyone found a way to show subtitles ?
So the solution is to download VLC for Android and enable Hardware acceleration in options. It plays 1080p uncomressed videos perfectly and supports subtitles over the MHL cable

S/W is the only way you get subtitles on TV.

And I believe it's got nothing to do with Sony, it's a limitation of the technology, because Dice player offers an expliciely stated experimental feature for subtite output via hdmi. I'd have to check if its for Samsung devices only though, I believe I remember the option saying that.
Side question: most fullhd tvs feature a usb port nowadays anyway, why not use that and play your stuff directly on the tv if the technology doesnt seem to be really there...?

Re: MHL Videos
I agree. Or you could download screen standby in play store. Try if it could reduce lag when using SW rendering

Dude thats imposible( i havent found a way)

Nope, it's not the same: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Relationship_with_MHL
Different connector, different wireing, different (altered) protocol. Nope, not the same.
Well it's not possible on your phone but you have a PC. There's plenty of tools to be found in the allmighty internet allowing you to easily overlay the subtitles onto your existing video. They will be a part of the "images" then though. Depending on the firepower at your disposal, such an encode takes somwhere between 10-30 minutes per movie for a typical hollywood blockbuster.

Yep. Well i asked a person who edits videos and he said that it cant be hardcoded. Butt. thanks for the info. Although I really want sony to implement subtitles over MHL. And i mean there is no difference if i say HDMI or MHL. MHL is a convertor and it decodes colors different way. But it has aboslutly the same posibilities.

Uhm... yes it can.
On the other hand, dont feed the trolls: You're right, it can't be done...

I known dis posts old but if u don't have a TV with WiFi support like mine. What I so is turn on my 360 slim connect to my WiFi at home connect my s3 mini to that same WiFi then stream songs videos and pictures straight to the TV . If using stock ROM when watching video look at top left corner will be a icon of TV should have a number in it if it detects your TV through your ps3/4 or Xbox 360/s thanks.

HTC One Screen Mirroring (Miracast)

Hi friends;
I have LG Smart TV 2013 model.
TV has miracast function .
I want to buy HTC One.
Has HTC One Screen mirroring function like Samsung Galaxy S4?
Galaxy S4 connect to tv wirelessly without using any adapter/dongle.(e.g. Netgear)
I want connect HTC One's screen to my LG TV wirelessly.

Up

According to this video, yes the function does work.

the built-in gallery app offers limited support for mirroring photos and videos; I am using skifta which does a better job imo, not only that but you can play content from another dlna source

You mention about DLNA.
With DLNA i only watch videos , pictures on my tv wirelessly.
I have HTC HD2 and already i can use DLNA
I want to see HTC One's screen on TV without any addional device(eg; Netgear, HTC Media link)
This is screen mirroring or miracast
For Example: In this video you can see miracast function LG optimus G between LG LA smart TV

then there's only mhl or dedicated miracast device via wi-fi

yeap, dlna's fine but miracast or airplay allows you to mirror your screen on the TV. think racing games, presentations and so on

Hi, I just want to bring good news: Miracast has been fixed for HTC One! The 4.3 update brings Android's native implementation of the technology, and now I can mirror my phone screen to my Sony KDL42W653 tv (did not work before)!

I've read somewhere that miracast it's not working on custom roms WITH sense for HTC One (I've tried ARHD with no success). This means that miracast might work with GPE roms. As I said I've tried ARHD with LG and Sony TVs, no good, The TVs see the HTC One but when they're about to connect it fails. I can use DLNA though, but it's not what I really need.
