Hi all,
The atom has just passed FCC testing and in the documents was the attached picture. Can anyone tell me what they think this adapter is??
I am trying to find a method of bringing the VGA screen out onto a monitor without the need for a PC or activesync, to provide universals instead of laptops for my staff. This may be the answer or can anyone suggest whether it would be theoretically possible to use a wifi enabled monitor and software such as nydots new pocketpc software.
If you have any other ideas for possible methods of turning the universal into a desktop/laptop replacement please let me know.
thanks
jayman
Looks like it could be a dsub monitor lead, but then again, resolution is low so it could be a serial lead?
However, consider the x50v for tv out.
Alternatively, see if this works for pda > monitor

The dsub's are definitely only 9 pins, so it's not a VGA connector. I have no idea what it is... it looks like two mini usb connections, one standard usb connection, and two serial connections.

That's the opposite of what he wants. It lets you extend your PC's desktop onto your PPC.
That said, though, I just downloaded the trial version and I'm trying it now. It's seriously cool. I have absolutely no idea what I might use this for, but it's still really cool.

BrettS - I understand that sidewindow works PC to PDA (and it is great, although a bit gimicky ), but I wrote PDA to PC so that he could investigate if they supply anything like that.
I can't think of any solutions that capture the PDA's screen at fullspeed really...they're all quite choppy so not ideal.

looks like a x2 9pin serial adaptor to x2 mini usb connectors. and a power input to deliver 5v to the JJ for mains power.
i think it could be alot simpler cable than percieved
You could try this, but I'm not sure if it works with WM5 or not...

Thanks for your input, I have had a reply from O2 stating that this will not be compatable with the Universal.
However they did state that they are working on their own solution that should be available within the next few months. Which will also allow time for ROM upgrades to repair early video bugs and speed issues.
I will keep you updated as I learn more.
The idea is that as the majority of my staffs work will be calls, short emails, reviewing small compressed videos and data input into a web based database, that the universal can provide all these functions. A 15" screen that provides a minimum of 640x480 resolution will be easier on the eyes and a bluetooth keyboard can be provided for touch typists. This will save on desktops laptops and mobile phones.
I hope O2 provide a solution that provides a multiplug such as on the XDA2 expantion pack. This will then allow you to use hotel TVs as monitors.
It allows you to play video and presentations stored on your XdaII through a PC monitor/Projector via VGA jack or TV via video or s-video jack.
Resolution supports:
For LCD display: VGA 800x600 and 640x480
For TV output: 640x480 NTSC and PAL system

anything which is usb connected would require the device to be able to act as usb host to be able to transfer slow! tv or monitor out using usb
non of the HTC devices do usb host
some say that universal does but nobody have been able to confirm it
if it did one could use one of the usb video cards you can get
that is if there were drivers for pda's for those
I think that replacing laptops would be a VERY bad idea; JJ is a far cry from laptop power, the office apps are seriously crippled compared to the real thing, and emailing is not html. And all at twice the price of a small laptop...don't think so.
Greetings All,
I have a friend who recently picked up an HTC Touch Pro. While sharing with me all the details and nuances of the phone he pointed out that there is an aftermarket cable that uses the mini USB out and converts to RCA jacks (right and left audio and yellow video). http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b170917.jpg
This cable is a home run and the details can be viewed in this YouTube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WURkohx3ja4
Here is my query for you fans and gurus of the forum....
I have the HTC Touch... not the HTC Touch Pro. The cable mentioned above is not listed anywhere as working on my phone. It seems to me that with all the experts in this forum, someone can tell us why it would not work on basically the same phone and manufacturer (HTC) and model series (Touch) as well as the same port coming from the phone (min USB). I realize that it is a software driven feature when the cable is actually plugged in it pops up the screen looking for your decision for NTSC or PAL.
Can someone help me decipher how to get the video cable that is designed for the HTC Touch Pro to work on my good old fashion HTC Touch (which I happen to love) ????
In case anyone is curious why I am in the hunt for this so badly is so that I can play my Sling Player into my audio video inputs in my car (of course not while driving) stereo which has a sweet 7" screen in the dash. My sling player works flawlessly and it would be very very nice to be able to use this cable which is relatively inexpensive to do the trick.
Please Pm me with any thoughts....
the cable dont do anything really it just pass on the video out
that the special version of the extUSB connector in touchPro have
so far other htc devices extUSB do not have video out connectors in
their extUSB connector

I got Touch HD too and I bought the cabel AC T110 (it is for Touch Pro). I confirm that it does not work but I try to find the way out. I even started thinking about changing the device for Touch Pro2 but I like everything in HD exept the absence of TV output. The Pro2 is thicker, the screen is smaller, its camera has only 3,2 Mpixels. It's a pity that HD doesn't have AV out. If I find out anything I'll tell you
Mini usb - rca cable
Hello guys! Anyone know´s if the mini usb-rca cable is available to use with an SE XPERIA x1 ???

I'm waiting for Galaxy Tab 10.1 to be released in order to buy one, but I need to know is there any idea if there is a VGA adapter to connect it to TV via VGA and display presentations on TV. I know that there is HDMI Adapter, but for iPAD2 there is a VGA adapter.
I really appreciates your help

You could get an HDMI > DVI adaptor then use a DVI > VGA adaptor.

Im not sure that would work.
There are (at least) 2 specs for DVI - DVI-A (Analogue) and DVI-D (Digital) .
HDMI > DVI-D is possible, but AFAIK, HDMI > DVI-A is not, since the output device (your Tab) would need to support analogue signals. For the same reason, you wouldn't be able use a HDMI > VGA adapter.
Im almost certain that the tab does not support analogue timings but you never know.
If it's for work and you're not spending your own money, see if they will buy a converter box for "all those people" who need to use it That's the only way to be sure it will work.

There already exists a cable that plugs into the Samsung proprietary port that outputs an analogue signal through a composite video connector (and stereo RCA plugs for audio). Samsung reps have confirmed that this cable, released for the original Galaxy Tab, will work 100% with the 10.1v and 10.1 (by implication probably the 8.9 too).
Composite to VGA won't work as it has different timings.
Best you can do is something that converts HDMI to VGA by some integrated solution, e.g., HDfury - HDMI to VGA cable, see their forum. Unfortunately you need another extra adaptor to fit the propriatory Galaxy connector. Plus extra power supply for the HDfury (and probably for the Galaxy Tab as well).
This is a deal breaker for all teachers and students that often have to show their content over VGA beamer. Bummer.
@pibach -> thanks for your input, clear, concise and accurate.
I'm on the market for a 10"/HC tablet that has "native" VGA output capability (as in dock connector<->VGA) that would not require an external/powered adapter.
Anyone knows of such rarity?
I have a tattoo/Click, Desire, Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab, so I'm totally addicted to Android. But failing this basic pre-requisite for Corporate environment is a fail in my book and would force me to put my money on the iPad2 despite the shortcomings(including the no-jailbreak current status). Don't get me wrong, I have no trolling intention: I have simple business needs that must be met...
So if you know of any such HC tablet, please let us know.
Cheers,

And you are not the only one. I'm getting 10.1v tomorrow, and hoping that there will be VGA adapter available one day. But for time being HDMI will do.
I just bought one too and I'm really pissed off there's no way to use it for work
even the ipad can output vga :S
i was able to get "something" using HP's hdmi -> vga adapter
Unfortunately, green was missing. Could have been the cable provided locally. If someone is successful in connecting to a VGA projector, let me know.
[Even with proper colors, the need for two dongles and AC power make the GT unsuitable for presentations.]
Anyone knows if Samsung or a 3rd party is working on something?
i'd really like to know that too...
hdmi to vga adaptors
check out HDFURY, expensive but probably good quality
I ended up taking a risk buying a $40 one from chinabuye @ chinabuye.com/hdmi-to-vga-and-3-5mm-audio-converter
works fine, been using it to connect my media player to a comp monitor.
hi guys,
can anyone confirm that there is no official/unofficial available vga adapter for the gtab 10.1?
options that I have seen are those that typically require a separate power supply, which defeats the purpose of having a tablet for mobility purposes.
appreciate any advice!!
unfortunately no, and it doesn't seem samsung is working on it :/

wow.....that sucks.....
this really eliminates the Gtab 10.1 as a useful work/office companion since most enterprises still use vga projectors.....
thanks for the help...cheers.
exactly, I was planning to use it for presentations :/
Did anyone tried this adapter?
http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/computer/categories/cables/1/accessories/NP031AA%23ABA
It seems it doesnt have a power source, it would be portable enough if it was the case
Yes. I could get something on the projector. Colors were off. I didn't have the time to check all connections. But even if it were working, having to rely on AC to power the HDMI dongle makes little sense.
In a pinch, you may want to use http://app.mightymeeting.com/index.html . You'll need a local machine and decent internet connectivity, but you gain mobility in the room and might score wow-points. They have an android app but it doesn't work on honeycomb. You have to start the meeting through their website.
In real life it remains a risky proposition. I could get away with it (I teach. Easy to switch to local machine if something goes wrong), but would never rely on such setup for a conference or other high stakes presentation. I now routinely use mightymeeting with an iPad. MM can save a local version of the presentation file. Never failed. Extremely convenient.
You'll just be needing a cheap, standard 3.5 mm av jack which can be bought from any hardware or electronics stores. (No need for Nokia CA 75U Cable)
1. Go to Settings>>Connectivity>>TV-out and set NTSC. Tap the indicator to enable TV-out.
2. Set your TV to INPUT mode.
3. The trick: The tip is to Insert the RED pin to the YELLOW port/socket, the Yellow pin on RED port and the White pin on White. It may look wrong to mismatch pin colors against the ports but this will do the trick.
4. Insert the main jack to the Samsung Wave and select Mobile TV on the options.
5. Now, You should see your Wave's screen displayed on TV!
Please Tell me how it is....By leaving a Comment below
Will try it once I get home! Thanks!

@dancegirl-> Why teh links at the end of your post? No ads here
What's the difference between the Nokia cable and a "standard 3.5mm av jack" that could mean nearly anything?
You can get tv out by connecting the standard 3.5 mm av cable to the hedphone port...where as in the Nokia cable, you have to connect it to the charger port to get tv out! Undertstood? Or you want some images?

The difference is : the nokia câble is not the good one (RED pin to the YELLOW port/socket, the Yellow pin on RED port) and it is more expensive.
A standard 3.5mm av jack works perfectly (red on red, and yellow on yellow).
This trick is funny.
I have one good trick in the same way, to read a SMS :
1. Push the menu button
2. find the message icon
3. click it
4. Now, You should see your messages !
Actually, In teh Nokia cable you can put red-to-red and yellow-to-yellow..If you want to use a standard AV cable you should put red-to-whit and white-to-red! If you know many people do not know how to use the AV cable. On another forum, I had my PM spammed to know how they could use the AV cable for TV OUT. If you think this thing is LAME..Just shut up and let the other use it!
Also, The nokia cable is way more expensive!
GUYS,
If you feel this this is LAME, please write it down..and I will ask some Mod to remove it..!!
Well
yes it is LAME
i don't have the cable yet but i think it is a very small tip to be put in a topic
Maybe you can collect all your tips in one topic

Many people are buying the Nokia cable and hence i suggested them a smaller method..
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
well nice tip. i bought a av cable in 20 INR (approx 0.44 USD) which was meant to use with portable cd player. and its working. Previously I was searching for a cable on ebay.
Nice tip. Found it recently.
My WD Live HD's 3.5mm to AV cable works on my Galaxy S with this method. Also works on my Nokia N97, but the pic is flickering sometimes.
Hey guys,
I wonder if there is a way to connect our x8 with a tv, that would be nice, Seeing the extra connectors on the earphones jack, i can only assume that there is some special cable that plugs there.
Plus a bluetooth keyboard will make going online lot easier, connected to your TV?
Maybe a ebay link if someone knows?
No there is no way to connect x8 to TV, that connector is for earphones with controls
Apparently, I think there is a way See the screen on TV.
I'm sure there is an app for x8 that streams the screen to a PC. After this, you only have to connect the PC to the TV. Hope this helps.

you could mod the lcd flex cable to a vga/dvi plug though i dont think there is enough space for the cables and how the data is transmissions in the flax cable (what codec)...

But this way, he gets the keyboard too!
BTW I tried this software and I must say it's really impressive. Only backshot is that its FPS is about 4-5 what is not so much. BUT if you want to show pictures to the whole family, it can be a more easier way than to upload them to the PC.
If you have a wireless headset, you even can control your phone calls from the PC too! Not to mention that you can easily write SMS with keyboard instead of the touch screen.

why i suggested it since its pretty much the only way to get the x8 image on a TV screen without a PC and LAN.
plus:
I know for a fact that ppl hacked their GBCs and GBs to have a VGA connection so it should be possible... I didnt say I could do it but it would be possible.

"its pretty much the only way to get the x8 image on a TV screen without a PC and LAN" and still you insist this is possible...
And about the gameboy example, google how they did it and tell me if it's as easy and feasible as you think.
If it is possible, it's certainly not on the lcd flex..

This is what you said :
"you could mod the lcd flex cable to a vga/dvi plug though i dont think there is enough space for the cables and how the data is transmissions in the flax cable (what codec)..."
It just says here he could "mod" the flex so he could connect a vga/dvi plug on it, you are just unsure if the wires could fit or not, you also state that what passes tru the flex is a video stream but i'm not even touching that subject.
So ok, you just solder some wires to the flex or the flex header, attach the other end of the wires to the dvi/vga plug and you are done.
Now look at the video you sent me, the guy is using an altera dev board (looks like a cyclone II starter, which costs more than 200 dollars) to poorly convert the simple lcd signals of the gameboy pocket into vga. Now imagine doing the same thing into something 5000x more complex and that uses a completely different signaling interface. Can it be done? Probably yes, with equipment that costs thousands and thousands of dollars and an intelligent guy with solid knowledge in electronics. Imagine how many phones with hdmi you could buy with that money.
Also, it would be easier to find a video out on the SOC pins than doing that (if it has one)

I remember i've connected my laptop to our TV via HDMI a while ago, so with this it should be done easily with one of those screen streaming programs.
Connecting a 3.5mm to 3.55mm jack cable between the line-out and line-in of the pc would also give sound.
Though i don't think you meant getting a PC with it along
The special hole along the audio cable is for microphone, if you have a Nintendo DS, you'll find the same connector below, i think.
