Hey guys I am currently running a LG 42LG30 TV. Im wondering if the chromecast will work for the TV. It has a HDMI and USB port, but ive seen that if you have an oldish TV the audio might not work? Sorry if I sound like a noob. The TV does not support ARC if that is relevant. Sorry If I do not include something. Also should I hold on getting updates if I do get it and go for root? Or anything like that. Unfortunately I am unable to include a link to the TV as I am a new member,easy to find on amazon.

You will get audio on your TV speakers unless there's something incredibly wrong.
Do you have an audio system? Sound bar, AV receiver? If not, nothing to worry about.

Should work with any HDMI. You only need ARC if you want to output audio from your TV (to a sound bar or something else).

Could you use regular font size in future, it's very unpleasant to read current huge fonts!
HDMI is a standard and regardless if you have v1 or v1.4 ports it should work properly. As far I know Chromecast has HDMI 1.4. You may look at TV manual for HDMI version info but I doubt if it's there. For more info about HDMI version changes please read text from link below.

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.

Interested in the whole PS3 thing. How do hook up phone to PS3? Headphone jack to USB or a way to go micro-usb to USB?

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.
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:

with that kinda of reply he is far better getting a new tv.
just get one of these

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.
Hello,
Today I got my brand new Google Chromecast, I don't have a tv here, but I have a computer monitor and decided to connect it to that.
My monitor is an Asus VX238T (it only has VGA and DVI) and I'm using a KONIG KN-HDMICON26 to connect the Chromecast to the monitor (the convertor works ok when connecting a Sony PS4 to this monitor). When I first connected the Chromecast I get the boot screen and then the screen goes black.I looked online and it seems to be a HDCP problem, but on the Asus website it says that the monitor is hdcp compatible.
Is there an issue with the Chromecast device or simply my monitor is not compatible with it?
Best regards,
Tibi
PS.: I hope it's ok to post here, I couldn't find any better place.

HDCP requires a Digital connection to the Monitor...The VGA adapter is converting your digital HDMI to Analog VGA.
You need to get a HDMI to DVI converter and then the Monitor HDCP can be recognized.

According to the specs your monitor is natively 1080p and it is also HDCP-compliant. You shouldn't need the Konig converter which says it outputs "UXGA 1080p" whatever that is... UXGA=1600x1200, WUXGA=1920x1200, 1080p=1920x1080...
As @Asphyx says, just connect Chromecast via an HDMI-to-DVI-D adapter and it should work without any extra equipment, conversion or degradation.

Yes and Thank You for pointing out it really is just a connector that is needed not an actual Device that converts because the signals are pretty much identical only the PInout and connector type are actually different.
Radio Shack, Fry's or any computer store should have an adapter for no more than $10.
You may even find them on Ebay for a few dollars less.
One issue you might have is audio, however... Depends on if/how your device handles audio over DVI-D. If it doesn't handle audio, you'll need an HDMI audio extractor between Chromecast and the display in order to get audio output.

Hello guys,
I ask my question here after googling all day ...
I just bought an Chromecast this morning, and on my TV, the screen is pink. The background images, netflix videos, all is pink.
I have tested with all 3 HDMI inputs availables on my TV.
Is there any solution ? On the other websites, the guys were saying "buy a new TV" .... But I don't want to buy a new TV because of a little device which costs 35€ ....
Start messing with the TV video inout settings, my old TV had something like color profile that I had to adjust to make certain HDMI devices display properly. Also certain older TV HDMI ports just don't work with chromecast.

Sounds like an HDCP issue... I'd make sure your TV supports it... (It should) Do you have any other HDMI devices? Xbox 360/PS3/HD Cable Box?
I think my TV isn't HDCP compliant
I have PS3 and XBOX 360 connected with HDMI : they both work fine on that TV ....

PS3 and XBox 360 both require HDCP to function with a TV properly... Hmm. How do you have the chromecast powered? Via the TV's USB port or through the included power brick

I tried both : USB port of the TV, and with the power adapter provided with the chromecast !
Are you sure the chromecast works? Does it work on other TV's? What model is your TV?
yes, I tested it on my 27" LCD iiyama, it's ok
I assume that only one port of the tv can be put into PC mode, so that is not the problem. Then it may be a matter of the wrong color standard. There is sRGB, which is common for computers and multimedia devices, and the multimedia standard xvYCC. My Samsung TV is a bit vague about what it actually uses. I have xvYCC set to off, and the various color mixers at default.
But pink is the color of trouble, streaming and decoding glitches often appear in pink. And hardware issues.

Hello guys, I have a big question here,
As you may know, red magic 3 do not have its own screen recording, so you will need to use app with that crappy sound via mic or root it to install a bunch of things to can use internal audio, but i don't want that, i want to stream and record gameplays with very good audio and good video quality, the question is the next: will the capture card elgato HD60s works with this phone? i mean, i can use an HDMI splitter to can use usb type c to hdmi and bypass the block thing but i'm not sure, maybe someone knows more about this, will this phone be able to send audio via the usb type-c port?

This is a valid concern. Oneplus 6 had no USB to HDMI. I din't care, but some people might.
Does this phone actually have USB to HDMI hardware?

Nope as they told me in the chat some days ago in facebook messenger
Your phone seems on Global ROM. CN rom has a built-in screenrecorder that can record internal sound.
You have an option to flash your phone to CN rom.
I haven't tried using capture card or USB-C to HDMI.
I have a CN Rom Nubia Red Magic 3, but when I stream to youtube, fb live, i use Android screen mirror with OBS
This video taught me how to do it.
