Hi there,
im very new to this forum so i apoligise if i sound about naive with my question.
What it is was very set on buying a Desire for my upgrade on orange but was very put off by the fact there is no tv output capability. This is something i really want and i was wondering is there any roms or tricks i could apply to a htc desire to allow it to connect to a tv. As i really want a phone that will allow me to play movies that iv downloaded on my tv set.
if not then im going to have to get the samsung galaxy s.
any help with this problem would be great :-D
your post is a little confusing, you said you want a phone you can connect to the tv to play movies downloaded on your tv? you mean movies you have downloaded you would like to play on your phone and output to TV?
This is not possible on the desire there is no tv out.
lol sorry thats what i meant.
yes i would like to connect phone to tv so i can broswe internet and play movies on a bigger screen.
so does that mean i will defonatly need to get the samsung galaxy s :-(
shame i really liked the sense ui interface!

most lcds and plasmas come with a usb . so can easily view videos and photos .
like myself on bravia 40ex500
As seen here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dude-with-an-oscilloscope/, someone uses his N1 as an USB-host.
With the DisplayLink USB-to-DVI adapter it is possible to connect your phone to the monitor, although I don't think it will support a high bandwidth (for movies).
if you pick away at the plastic on the right side of the phone there is a hdmi port under there
Yes my TV has USB too and it can be viewed if you attach as usb storage but that is not what the original question is asking. They are asking for TV output as i am sure your TV cannot play xvid or other codec files on the fly via mounted usb.
are you joking right??

Do you have any sense? Look at the sides of your phone and tell me if you see any plastic
Trust me, its there. I dropped my phone last week and the side snapped off exposing the HDMI port.

Don't know about your tv, but my samsung 40b630 could decode xvid and mkv on the fly from a usb storage device.
Not many tvs have usb input, but loads of devices that are plugged into your tv do.
For example, my ps3, xbox, and freeview box all have usb input and are capable of playing divx from usb mass storage.

It was supposed to be sarcastic lol!
Still would be a cool but pointless feature if it existed!
HTC's Windows phones, at least most of them, have the ability to output video using the 3.5mm -> TV-Out adapter. The Incredible uses the same CPU as the Desire and can output using the USB port. My guess would be that the Desire maybe has the hardware support, but most likely not software (missing option in settings for one). Obviously, this is a big maybe.
I wouldn't incline towards the "Because it's not on the website it doesn't have it". Looking at the specifics of the Snapdragon chip would definitely help, as if the feature exists it should be there, and I doubt that the hardware would specifically be removed from the chip because HTC 'requested' it. It would be too expensive I imagine (or maybe I'm wrong). Could be that it might not be wired into USB/3.5mm on the phone's board, who knows... (For example they never noted that we have 802.11n, but seems like we do. Among other devices that could be used as other examples.)
End point; someone with the relevant knowledge and skills would need to have a good poke around the device...
@mercianary In that photo, it showsta that device dont have HTC Sense. So its some else phone like Droid X

I have updated to 2.3.4 and i was in the service menu (press *#*#7378423#*#* ) and it has an option to turn on/off HDMI and also it gives a few setting to mess around with.
So my question is has anybody tried this? or if you have a Micro USB to HDMI cable hanging around can you try it and see if it works.

there is a HDMI port just below the left touchpad, but they concealed it and marketed it as no-HDMI device to avoid further competition with the Arc.. only expo PLAYs have the HDMI port.. besides, if you added HDMI to the Play, it would be the all-around phone overshadowing the arc, which i suppose, is marketing strategy at its best..

In which sense is asking for proof being a prick? You need not to tear up your Play yourself, you can show us someone else doing it with his own retail model.
And about why there is an HDMI menu under that code, given that the whole 2011 Xperia range comes with the same architecture, it would be fully unsurprising to find that menu in Xperia Ray, mini, Mango (mini pro), and Active, which are the phones without HDMI capability.
So Sony Ericsson is hiding HDMI and an FM Radio from us? I have seen the FM Radio app and tried to install it, but it failed.
tones get easily changed by the wind pretty fast, as always..

The FM-Radio app won't ever work as it's disabled at hardware level, though it supports it. You'll need some dev to enable it, prob in a kernel, but don't think it's high on the to do dev/modding list
SE should've had the HDMI on our devices at release, but they chose not to, nothing to do about that really, though it defo would've been nice with that feature

Why don't just solder your own HDMI port. If there are connections on the pcb it should be possible.

Cn't find any disassembly Videos But if you find me some how to maybe I'll try it.
So, sorry if this has been answered before, I've looked quite a bit and haven't been able to find a definitive answer. I'm running Juggernaut 4.1 which doesn't seem to work with TV-Out via MHL adapter. I installed Juggernaut so I could pair PS3 controllers to the phone for emulation. My question is, if I revert to stock ROM but root it, will I be able to run the standard BT stack to pair PS3 controllers while maintaining TV-Out capabilities? Or am I stuck waiting for ICS? Thanks so much to anyone who can provide an easy answer for me, I've honestly spent a lot of time looking for this and still can't figure it out.
I'm using same ROM, HDMI works for me.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Oh Damn, maybe it's because I didn't clear my cache when I updated the ROM? I used the TV-Out with my GF's stock ROM and nothing with mine for some reason.
The Sixaxis app works on the stock rom, but you have to be rooted. I made a video showing it off the first day the dev updated it for our phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392898
Basically he worked around our non-AOSP bluetooth stack so it works. No need to use MIUI or CM7.

Connectivity demo video [UDPATE: new vid, NOVA 3+PS3 controller+HDTV+"how to" guide]
Basically rather large medley showing many of the connection options available for the Galaxy S3, make sure to use the nav links in the video description to get around the vid:
Note: Since the video I also got NOVA 3 on my S3 and playing it via MHL on my HDTV with a PS3 controller over bluetooth (every bit as freaking sweet as it sounds). Anyone want a guide?
[UPDATE] Demo and guide for playing NOVA 3 wirelessly via a PS3 controller, much better experience (especially on an HDTV and with a home theatre system connected!). Until you've made videos where you control the game by viewing it through the viewfinder in your camera please refrain from being too critical about how badly I suck
Ya sure a guide would b much appreciated

Yep, it's the one that is specific to the S3 (11 pin set-up, rather than 5 like the older ones - I have two of those so I'm annoyed about the change too).

Just tried an unpowered 4 port USB hub with a 32gb flash drive connected and the phone crashed and rebooted.
Excellent video mate, is the S3 your main phone these days? I'm sure I remember you doing a similar review on the Galaxy Note, that's what I have although I did get an S3 for the missus and it is tempting, but I'm holding out for the Note 2.
By the way, can you point me in the direction of a relatively cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse that will work with my Note, but a set that doesn't come with a usb dongle since I want to use the micro usb port on the phone to connect it via MHL to my TV. If that makes sense.

Yep, S3 is my daily (still love my Note though). Will get the Note 2 for sure and totally respect holding out for it.
Understand what you're saying about the keyboard thing and MHL, will take a look and find some suitable ones for you.
Wow, now that is impressive. I can't believe how much you can do with the S3, simply amazing. The S3 kicks all other "smart" phones back to the dark ages . Another vote for a numptys guide please, first time smart/droid phone user here. Or I will be if my phone ever turns up

Awesome. $10 sure beats $40 for the official adapter. Just need some compatibility confirmation reviews before pulling the trigger.
Is there anyone out there with a USB DAC who can verify the S3 can actually output digital audio via USB?
This is a long time wish for audiophiles, who will all be getting an S3 if this functionality works.
In case anyone is intersted had it confirmed the item will be in stock at MobileFun on Friday!

About Effing time Samsung gets this released. And I'm guessing it's gonna be another 3 months before they release the wireless charger, Dock/Cable to simultaneously use MHL and other OTG and the UK release of the MHL adapter tip, I mean massive Firmware delays is typical and expected from Samsung but just don't get why they delaying accessories.
I've been reading that it doesn't generate 1080p even though it says it does...it only outputs in 720p...I heard its very laggy at times...and people were quite disappointed with it...sorry to rain on your parade...

Demonstration
Works in 1080p
Its works in Full HD contrary to reports on here. It does have a noticable delay of about 1 second so not sure if it will be useful for gaming, but for internet browing, movie watching or productivity use it could be ideal.
I didn't order from mobilefun because I found a much cheaper price than them.
Just ordered mine last night from handtec.co.uk so hopefully see what it's all about tomorrow.
Not sure whether a UK dongle will work with the US TV system. Otherwise, I will order one from UK.
Can anybody confirm if this is the real deal??

Can anyone tell me if this will work with cm10
Sent from my GT-I9300
To clarify for others. The dongle does need a power supply. It comes with one. It also includes an HDMI cable. You can have mutliple dongles on TVs around the house and the phone lets you choose which one you connect to. However, at this time, you cannot label the dongles with a nice name like "Living Room" and have to use the pre-determined name with numbers instead.
There is some lag depending on the quality of the connection with the phone. You would not want to play FPS with this. I would say the lag was around 100-150ms. Fast panning/moving can result in some visible compression artifacts. Its behaviour seems identical to the HTC Media Link technology. One does not appear better than the other here.
The dongle DOES support 1080p, but the S3 does NOT. This means you will not see anything above 720p. The dongle acts as a mirror of the 720 line phone display EXCEPT when you are playing a video. For video, the phone displays a very dim "Allshare" logo on a black background. You can bring up a video slider to rewind/fast-forward etc but the video itself is only displayed on the TV. Despite having the separate video feed, it is still locked to 720. HTC originally had the idea that you could surf on the phone, check emails while playing a video, but this never actually worked. Samsung haven't even tried to do this...pressing the home button cuts the video feed and returns to mirroring.
My concern is if you play a 90 minute movie like this, will there be screen burn due to the permanent but very dim "Allshare" logo displayed on the screen. There is no way to switch this display off when playing a video. Perhaps because its so dim it doesn't matter, but it seems odd to me.
Really need some help here please, i do not have a allshare cast app in my app drawer, only something called allshare play which just force closes saying application not executed properly. Im running jellybean and not ics. Could somebody help me please. Thanks.

You could get two 'android on stick' mini usb computers for that price and they'd do essentially the same thing. Seems like a bit of a rip-off to me
