Hey,
I'm curious as to whether or not you can hook up TV-out via the 3.5mm jack. Being that the only Touch Pro2 w/ the 3.5mm jack on the market right now's the Telus ver, I guess this questions directed at Telus Touch Pro2 users, so try it out, and let's know what haps.
Btw, I only ask because I TV-out w/ my Touch Pro via ExtUSB-to-3.5mm - to - iPod A/V out, and would like to know if I can look fwd to skippin' the mid man when (or if) the US CDMA Touch Pro2 ever comes out.
::bump::
Now that I know for sure that my CDMA carrier's ver of the Touch Pro2'll have a 3.5mm jack, I'd really like to know if the Telus 3.5mm jack'll do TV-out w/ an iPod TV-out.
'Any Telus users out there?
As the standard (non 3.5mm) needs the HTC USB cable for TV out, I expect the same cable will still be required, and the 3.5mm will be supplementary/duplicate audio only
Yes this is probably true, but someone could try it out easily enough, just in case

My sentiment exactly.
Easy enough as long as someone who reads this thread has a 3.5mm tv-out jack. Not everyone has one of those and a TP2
I can confirm the USB TV-Out cable from the TP1 works on the TP2, I do not have a 3.5mm TV-Out cable to try. I would bet a good deal of money on the fact that it is audio only.
I have tried the iPod cables and nothing is coming out to my TV the phone didn't do anything when i plugged it in CorePlayer and Windows Media but nothing so far I'm looking for my iPod right now to test the cable and will try more things to see if I'm doing something wrong but it looks like no for now

Try forcing TV-out w/ this reg file. 'Worked on the Touch Pro (Raphael).

No progress w/ this? C'mon, ppl, it's a simple test. :s

Hi there ,
Telus user here.
I do have the Creative Vision M60gig TV out cable. (same as the I pod think so..)
It a 3.5mm jack with yellow video Red/White cable RCA .
I had to change the reg key to saw the TV out menu.
I did try to change the order of the color on the TV ( all combination possible)
not working at all
Cheer
I am using the Telus HTC Touch Pro 2
Ok, so I changed the registry to "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\H2W]
"TVOutCableIn", Changed the Value data to "1". I used CeRegistryEditor to do this.
Once I did this the screen showed: "choose a format", "pal" or "ntsc" like photo 1.
I then chose "ntsc". The screen then changed to "Video Out" and showed , "power point", "photos and videos", "internet", and "youtube". like photo 2.
I then hooked up my 3.5" video cable with Yellow, Red and White. and played a youtube video and it did not work. I also played a video from"photo's and videos" and that did not play. I changed the wires around and tested out all of them in different combination's and none of them worked.
I closed the program. Then went back to open it and it said the regular error, "TV out cable, optional accessory needed". I checked the registry and it went back to "0" instead of "1". I changed it back to "1" and the screen this time said "TV out" video standard. It showed all the pal versions etc. Like in photo 3. Then it went back to Video Out menu which showed , youtube, internet etc. Tried the cable again, failed!
Registry also reverted back. It seems it always defaults back to "0".
Either way the cable doesn't work.
ADDED:
1. I also tried it without the registy hack and it did not work.
2. Sound comes out of the yellow and white the red I suppose is the video but not 100%. (I do know the red and white are usually the audio and yellow is the video)

Try making the hardware connection first, then apply the reg edit. That's what I do on my Touch Pro. So, try in that order.
the same steps (ipod 3.5mm and h2w reg) to get this working on the touch pro dont work on my touch pro 2. somethings different and i cant figure it out. i thought may be video no longer comes out of the 3.5mm jack but the pin configuration is the same. there is either no video out on the device, which i doubt cause the settings for it are there on stock rom, or something just isnt right somewhere in the software.

Just recently got a Touch Pro 2 (t mobile, unlocked) and, being a previous Fuze owner, that I could install a cab (to the fuze) to force tv-out. Then, using the dongle and a cheap 3.5mm to video out cable, I could then use the tv out option as if I had actually purchased the video out cable. Is there such a cab for the touch pro 2? I loaded the enablevideoout.cab from fuze, however, while it does enable that option, no video comes out to the tv, even though I'm using the exact cable...
tv out doesnt work for me either. im not sure why. some people have it working though.
I have the AT&T Tilt 2 and purchased the Tilt video cable. The cable was inexpensive ($15 or so) and works perfectly. I select the TV Out under System and it works perfectly.
whats the purpose of tv out

you can stream whatever is on your phone to a tv or moniter. it's a great tool for businessmen with presentations, or you could download and stream adult content .
So...is there a cab that would force tv out?
Is the $15 cable the only way to get it to work?
Is there anyone that actually uses this option!!???? I remember back with the fuze that TV out was all the rage...wha happen'????
i can get tv out on my fuze but not on the tilt 2.
i'm using the oem htc tv out cables on my sprint tp2. no hacks or tweaks needed, just plug it in and go. it also has a charging port on the side, so you can stream and charge at the same time. darrenwlsn1 has a thread at ppcgeeks where you can get them for $10 u.s. shipped.
if you have the dongle that came with the tp, check this out http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91682&highlight=tv*
Thanks...seems as if it will be the blue wire that will meet its maker...

Sorry, telegraph. Since I was the guy the discovered the hack in the first place and have now graduated to a Touch Pro2, I can confirm without a doubt that the registry change the above mentioned cab implements won't make TV Out work with the ipod cables.
You'll either need to cut wires on the dongle or get the OEM TV Out cable for the TP2.
The TV-out option is THE ONLY reason why I got the Touch Pro 2 - here's why...
My in-dash car DVD/Nav system includes a "Video In" (and L, R audio in) jack that will display any video on it's 9" LCD screen, plus play any audio through my stereo system in the car.
Forget Flow TV or Cio digital TV services and subscriptions!
I just connected a Slingbox to my home Tivo TV system, bought the slingplayer app for the touch pro 2, got an unlimited data plan for my TP2, and connected my TP2 to my in-dash DVD system using the HTC video cable.....and now I can watch ANY cable channel I get at home LIVE, PLUS watch any Tivo show I recorded, in stereo, in my car! Soooo sweet Youtube videos look awesome too. Any app that runs on the TP2 can now appear in my dash's screen with full stereo audio.
XM/Sirius radio sucks with it's 64k bitrate quality! So, as a side bonus, both nanogroove and slacker radio apps for the TP2 sound like they use 96-128k bitrate so they sound excellent in the car. I drive around all day and listen to crystal-clear tunes for free, and can skip any I don't like instantly (using slacker radio) or call up ANY song using nanogroove!
Yay!!!!!!!
Sorry to sound like a guy finding his first chest hair, but a gentle squeeze on the dongle allowed it to ever so nicely open up, where I proceeded to cut zee blu wire...tv out works great-now, a question:
Is it just my dongle or are connections to the phone (via the mini usb) somewhat loose? A slight move (even with just headphones) causes static, I remember (fuze) that the connection was snug and the phone (even sideways) would still hold its own with regards to restricting movement.
and that, sirs, is a run on sentence.
Edit: When I do connect the phone to a tv, the screen is Portrait, and so are any movies I play (even though they should be playing landscape)...the only way I get them to turn correctly is by editing hklm/software/htc/h2w and changing a tv out value to 1...after unplugging the cable, I have to go back and change that same value to 0...
I'm sure i'm doing some extra unnecessary step...

Hi,
I have the standard HTC Audio adaptor which contains the button mic to speak if required. I tend to use the adaptor to listen to music. However it has now got confused ie when I plug it into the Touch Pro 2 the sound continues to come out of the phone speaker. When I click on the button and hold the button down I hear the music through the external wired connected speaker. Also I sometimes see the "video Out" settings come up on my phone. Is the capable broken and needs replacement or is there some setting that I need to check. I was changing speakers while the phone was playing to compare sound and may have also accidentally clicked the button. So is it confused? Seen this before or am I in for a new adaptor?
Thanks,
Sam
P.s I have tried resetting the phone.
Can someone make kernel or tell me how to do this, maybe thru some kind of converter or something like that?
1080p/24Hz is chopy for games so maybe this can be done by software or hardware fix??
There is similar kernel but for One S so I belive this can be done for note 2.
Pls help this is realy big issue for mhl/tv output and i didnt find any solution on web how to make this happen on note 2.
I'm to having same issue.
Choppy with the dock. My GNex works so smoothly compared and it's half the phone although it is rooted.
I'd be very excited to known if a custom kernel can fix this. I've posted something similar already in this thread.
Cheers guys.
Sent from LV-426...
I hope for the fix to, it a shame that this isnt implemented like and option in stock software. One again please devs or anybody help us with this problem :crying:
Going to try to fix this thru vga pc because in my tv manual says I can select resolution myself thru this input (RGB PC only).
Maybe you too can do something with this.
Well i cant post links so this is what I will test with my Note2:
RED Galaxy S3 SIII i9300 i9308 MHL Micro USB 11pin to HDTV HDMI
HDMI Female to Female F/F Coupler Extender Adapter Connector
Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft
When tested will report here... still hoping for kernel modification of some kind...
I have a N7100 and a smart dock this has been my experience:
HDMI -> DVI adapter plugged into a Dell U2312HM via DVI (HDCP compliant):
- Stuck at 720x480 resolution no matter what.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
HDMI cable to my 26" Westinghouse 1080P TV (HDCP compliant but constantly has handshaking issues):
- Appears to display at 1080p or at least scaled up 720p though I set my TV in 1:1 and there are no black bars so I suspect 1080p.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
It seems that there is a bug in the code that has to do with when the phone enters that "desktop mode." There also seems to be a bug when using an adapter for some reason as well. The N7100 seems to act completely differently than my PS3. My PS3 connects wonderfully using the same adapter and the same Dell monitor, no handshaking issues. Though my PS3 to get sound out of the TV's speakers I have to mute and then unmute the TV to get sound anytime the HDMI link is closed and then reopened (starting a game for example). While it seems the N7100 behaves oppositely.
Update on my Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft combination is not working the device dont check connection thru hdmi rgb input (no signal or notification of connection). So I belive only hdmi input/output works with note 2. Once again pls help us regarding this option to lock device on 720p output thru hdmi.
man i really need this force 720p playback option as well...
Hey everybody,
I don't have my Fire TV (the launch in Germany is still 2.5 weeks away) but I do have a question.. at least temporarily I'd like to connect it to an older monitor of mine which only has DVI input (I don't own an actual TV at the moment.. well, a tube tv set for my SNES ). I do have an HDMI->DVI cable but I just realized that I won't get any sound this way.. and since the speaker I want to use don't have optical input I have to find another way to connect those. One option would be a digital-analog converter (like this one, for example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Digi...-Audio-Converter-Adapter-DHTV/2032388430.html) but someone mentioned that it's possible that the Fire TV works with regular USB sound cards which would be cheaper and not require yet another power plug and a bunch of cables.
I realize it's not an optimal setup at all, bus as I said, it's temporary. Has anyone tried this or maybe have a cheap usb sound card lying around they'd be willing to test for me? Tried the search function but didn't get any results.
kind regards

I wouldn't even bother using an external DAC connected to the optical out if you re planning
to use an HDMI to DVI adapter. I, and a few others, have discovered out that the FireTV does
not support HDMI to DVI because of HDCP. Amazon video content will not display on the monitor
at all, and video from XBMC results in many dropped frames and video instability. You will also
not get any sound out of the optical. The only way to get around this is to find an HDMI splitter
or switch which will emulate HDCP, and that will cost.
Saying that, I would assume that the same would happen with USB audio (if supported), although
I have not tried it myself.
Thank you for the quick reply, it was just in time to cancel the order I placed for a cheap toslink-rca adapter
Will I at least be able to set up and tinker with the Fire TV? If I can't use it properly at my own place until I get an actual TV I thought I might give it to my mum for the time being, but I wanted to set it up first cause she probably won't be able to do that

Yes... it still makes a nice box to tinker with. That's what I did before
getting a HDMI switch to bypass the audio issue with DVI. You just
won't get any audio and video playback will be unstable to non-existent,
depending on the source. However, all the FTV menus will still display
fine, and so will games and other apps.
The only other thing to note is that since video will not display properly,
you will not see the opening video when you first activate your FTV:
you will get a blank screen. This made me think that I had issues with
the device and that it had crashed, but you really have to just wait through
it. However, I don't know what repercussions this may have on activating
your device if you are trying to avoid the automatic updates to non-rootable
firmware versions during initial setup.
I'd assume it's going to ship with new recent firmware, but thanks for the heads up, I'll set it up at work then, there I've got access to a display with HDMI input
edit:
Or I'll just block the firmware update thingie at home, following these instructions.
Any news on USB audio?
Did someone try XBMC and USB audio out? I have a pure Digi Amp and like to have volume control. I assume optical out is without volume control...
Cheers,
Andy
Hey all,
I have a 2012 Acura TL, it has a 720p screen from the factory. There's a mod called NavTool which adds an HDMI port to the stock screen. I just finished installing the module and I now have the new input. However, what's my best option to make a "smart car" type interface? So far I bought a chromecast and set that up, but I'm having major trouble screencasting my M8's screen using a hotspot on my phone. I have a ATT Hotspot which I used to test screen mirroring with, but it's not ideal.
The car has Bluetooth for audio and calls, and normally my phone would connect to this. I'm able to change songs using the wheel controls (forward/reverse/play/pause). With the NavTool addon, the HDMI audio gets routed through my car's AUX input, so when screen casting I need to switch inputs to AUX instead of BT. As far as I know there's no way to keep audio streamed via phone's bluetooth while screen casting.
So right now, what can I do? I have an HTC M8, but I'm thinking of upgrading to either the HTC 10, or the next larger variant of the Nexus. I don't have to stick with chromecast. I can switch to any system at all, I just need ideas as to what would be the best thing to do. I don't mind spending ~$100 to get this system working. I already spend $200 on the HDMI input. Please tell me your ideas, or if you've seen something which I can do, let me know! Thanks!
