Hi everybody, I have been having this problem lately: Tv out on my t-mo touch pro 2 does not work! I had the EnergyROM_21885_RHODIUM_14.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5 installed and I found that the tv out didn't work. So I tried EVERYTHING I could find on the subject. Nothing has worked. So I upgraded to the latest Energy rom (Energy.RHODIUM.21903.Sense2.5.MaxManila.May.09) and guess what? Nothing, so I tried Everything again, still nothing. Anyway I have three different video out cables, 1 is from radio shack, 1 came with the projector I bought for my phone, and the other is just a video out cable. I would think that one of these cables should work but.... any advice would be appreciated.

How are you connecting them to the phone...through the 3.5mm/USB adapter box that came with the phone? If so, there's a wire inside you need to cut to make the vid out work...I think it's the blue one, but there's a thread or two out there on this that have the full instructions.
Do you have one of the official HTC vid-out cables for the TP2?
Thanks for the reply! I am connecting using the 3.5mm usb 'hub' thingy that came with the TP2. I do not however have the official htc video out cables. I have read that people have had success with other cables, it's just a matter of figuring out witch color they switched for the video out. I cant say I have heard of the blue wire you have to cut. Doesn't the TP2 support TV out right out of the box?
pick up the real tv out cables from ebay, very easy and painless.
Well I don't understand it but I opened up the usb 3.5mm hub thingy, cut the blue wire, and now it works with a standard radio shack cable! the red wire coming out of the phone is the video though. But it works great! Thanks for the replys!

You bet! I was pretty sure it was the blue cable, but if I was good at remembering that stuff I'd never have lost my job with the bomb squad
Yes, the TP2 supports vid out "right out of the box", but only on the official HTC video out cable....it's a direct connection to the mini-usb port, instead of going through the included adapter that you're using.

Okay, so I using a dash on Kavana 6.1 ver: 4.1.13.41
anyways, I bought a 3 in one adapter off eBay the other day with an htc label (supposedly designed for the dash) I also own a regular mini usb to 3.5mm adapter which also doesn't seem to work....the phone will play the music regularly and not pick up that their is a headphone piece connected being either a 3.5mm or 2.5mm though it does pick up if a charger is connected through the 3in one...Could this be the Kavanna could it be the mini usb port? I've tried different headphones...I actually used to listen to music when I first bought the phone when back when but stopped for quite a while....well hope someone can help me thank you!!
i have the kavana 6.1 rom with a 3 in 1 and also a stand alone 3.5mm converter and both work.
its either one of 2 things. 1. you have a hosed mini usb jack on your excalibur ( this does happen from time to time) 2. you have bad adapters not made for the excalibur. I have never bought stuff like this off of ebay, but thats my preference. I bought both of my adapters from here: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000048&products_id=5314
and here:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000048&products_id=5414
i know its more pricey than ebay or other sites, but sometimes you get what you pay for.
This is just what i think, i have seen a ton of adaptors that do 3.5mm conversion and they fit in but they do not work, they are for motorola's and other same type adaptor plug in's, so this 3 in 1 adaptor is most likely not an HTC one, ebay is the worse place to buy an adaptor as u can see its probably not an HTC capible adaptor.
Buy Adaptors only from HTC if u wanna be 100% cause anything else is not 100%
Or in person so you can test.
i have bought from ebay for cheap $1.9 (usb to 3.5mm) and they work fine.
well you got lucky not like our fellow poster, there are a ton out there that are fake ones that wont work, just wanna stay away from those anyway you can.
Amazon is where i get my stuff from. I never had any problems with anything.
Hey I got a question for yew folks:
Does the motorola usb headphones work on the dash? Im an audiophile and cheap sounding headphones (like htc's) drive me nuts. The motorola ones I had for the razr and slivr sounded pretty good but I would like to know for sure if they work before I go and spend my money on a pair.
Thanks for all the replies everyone, first off Pudge what was that you said about the mini usb being bad? (how does that work exactly?)
...PPC I think I'll definitely have to stop by the T-mobile store today see if they carry H.T.C. headphones try those out..
..Phatman I have read somewhere that yes you can use the Motorola on the Dash (but it might of been just the bluetooth ones...possibly..)
well actually its not really about the mini usb port being bad, but more of it being stuck in one mode or another. i have seen people here post that the mini usb always being stuck in the headphone mode or never going into headphone mode no matter what. either way, it doesn't prevent you from charging the phone, just that it prevents you from utilizing the port in all the ways that its capable of performing. Usually i've seen the only fix being replacement of the phone (unless you're really good at replacing internal components of the phone yourself).

What's the thread title "I bought a 3.5mm adapter rom Ebay & it works"
All pudge was stating is that you take a chance when buying something off ebay not all 3.5mm jacks are the same many manufacturers of phones make the connection slightly different. "You will see the black bits on the plug they can be moved about" <- Simplified
No need to post i got one and ok
Hi All,
Recently bought a EXT-USB to Composite cable for running Power-Point presentations from my phone.
The cable works, the Tilt2 switches to TV-Out mode when I plug in the cable, but, the quality of the displayed image is really poor. Also, there is a "shake" or "judder" in the image every few seconds. Not the best.
Anyone else see this issue? Did I get a bad cable or is this the best I can expect from the Tilt2 ?
Cheers!
how did you even get tv out to work? it just doesnt for me.
My first TV cable (non-OEM) had choppy video and audio. And moving the cable around changed the quality of the image and sound. Cable was defective. Returned it for a replacement and it works fine.

I had the blue flashing screen issue with the Wm6.1 from Verizon ONLY when I ran slingplayer. But when I did the Verizon wm6.5 upgrade, the flashing went away.
But even when the flashing went away, the quality (sharpness) isnt that great, but OK for video.
Come on people, are you expecting HD quality output? Be realistic. The video is comparable to 480i.

there's one way i know for sure works, cause i use it with coreplayer, (btw, i'm on att) on that mini-usb sync cable thing, open it up, and you should see a clear plastic cover, remove that, and you'll see some wires. snip the blue wire. tv-out should now work.
Woo HOO, Got the FROYO Update this weekend! Not many changes that I have seen so far but I am glad to make at least this much progress.
Anyway, TV Out - Dag Nabbit!
First I bought the mini-jack to 3 RCA cable, tried it at home on THREE different televisions and it didn't work on any of them. THOUGHT the update would help, tried it again on the SAME 3 TVs and NOTHING. At least that cable was cheap!
Bought the MicroUSB to HDMI cable with HIGH HOPES, 45 bucks (Shipping Included) tried in on the SAME 3 TVs both BEFORE and AFTER the update to 2.2 and it didn't work either time or even TODAY!
The only setting I know of to change is the TV OUT in the SETTINGS menu. Which was turned on and since I am in NJ USA I used the NTSC (ATSC) Setting. Much to no avail. So, am I just REALLY good at wasting money or is it my phone OR is something else missing?
If MORE particulars are required let me know and I will provide them.
I got this phone BRAND NEW from T-Mobile in August of 2010, 5 months ago. I love the phone for it's display and all the working functions and apps. I DO NOT have a data plan, I use WiFi at home - works perfectly.
Thanks in Advance to all who may respond with something useful. Have a great Day (to all who respond period)!
With the rca cable, did you put the red into the yellow and vice versa?

Yeah, I have to flip the outside two plugs for mine. The middle, of course, should be switched with the other middle.
humm!
Dude has anybody ever made theirs work....I have been watchin for this since the phone came out but never seen anyone say it worked....I to have tried everything but didn't buy the hdmi......Tmo limits everything this phone can do....like rerouting our wifi calling to make sure it uses our minutes and the tethering they finally let us have now also adds additional charges to your bill. Good thing I can still run easytether free. But I really wish someone could help us get the TV OUT working...
Um.....TV Out works......If you're using a non-Samsung composite cable you'll need to swap the red and yellow connections most likely. I've had to do this with two different sets of tv-out cables (one for a Zune, one for a Sony camcorder)...
This is what I use and it works. Plug one end into the headphone jack and the Y/R/W into the exact color that they are on the TV.

Vibrant ka7..rooted and unlocked
Garminone updated to 2.1..rooted and unlocked. 68 hrs between charges!!!!
I also use the zune and it works for my vibrant too
Make sure that you buy a tv-out/av cable with long 3.5 jack, and with thin/small covering on top of it so that it fits right into the vibrant's 3.5mm hole and you actually hear it click. And yes, I use the red cable for video input instead of the yellow one.
Aite so i bought this:
http://www.amazon.com/RND-Power-Solutions-Adapter-Stereo/dp/B003YTL8C8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Got a few decent reviews. But when i plugged it, i get an almost clear image but its in black and white. Tried a few other rca cables lying around and same problem.
Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem might be? Think its the cables, TV, ROM(Im on a 2.2.1 ROM. Should I be on a 2.2?)
Did you remember to switch the red and the yellow wires?
Though you're saying you have a video signal, just in black and white, so that might not be your issue. Try wiggling the cord a bit, I know I had to sorta break mine in before it worked normally. When I first got it the image was all static-y and what not, but as I used it more (have been for the past year) it's sorta worn in and works like a champ now.

By chance is it set to PAL and you live in the U.S.? (NTSC is for North America) or vice-versa?
as far as i know, you need the original samsung cable
I'm having the same problem, I got the cable today, plugged it in, now it's all static-y, i can guarantee it's not your ROM though, i'm running the GalaxyExtreme-Final ROM which is 2.2.1 and it's still not working
I got a tv out cable at the 99¢ store and it works perfectly i just switched the red and yellow plugin

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!

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.
