I have to wonder if the cable for the incredible will work with my phone. Mytouch. I have seen one for video composite and one for hdmi. Maybe if it fits someone could handle the software if needed.
Amp International Inc.
The mytouch doesnt have the hardware for video out, its not the fact of finding a cable, its the fact that the phone doesnt support it.
I suppose they abondoned that in favor of DLNA (UPnP). Of course the finest hotels are only now putting in composite video jacks. DLNA is a LONG LONG way in the future for the main stream.
Still, I did sit on the couch and streamed from my Glacier (via 802.11g) to a PS3 COMPONENT out to a 52" LCD. The picture was shockingly good. Had the occasional glitch, but that was as likely as not the LAN.
How do you set things up to stream from the my4g to the ps3?
Great DLNA Device
Just for those interested:
I bought a WDTV Live a little while back for about $65 on sale. Its an awesome little box, especially with the latest firmware update. (They are always developing firmwares improvements with added features and there is a sizable community of people running hacked firmwares)
Anyways, it runs all of my video files in Full 1080p (all of them that I use, but not every one that exists) and actually has some support for DVD menus for my rips. It does YouTube, Pandora, Flickr, MediaFly, pulls from my Central Axis (NAS), and most importantly to MT4G users, it does DLNA.
I'm actually going to buy a "WDTV Live PLUS" box which does everything that this one does but also handles Netflix (now) and Blockbuster On Demand (soon).
Here's a TV-out cable for those who don't have/use DLNA.MT4G TV-out Cable

Honestly, I don't know. The cable is HTC branded OEM product and is sold for the G2, Incredible, N1, and others. Amazon sells the cable for $17 and you could surely return it to them no problem. You could call HTC and ask about compatibility.
tv out
well i have a 52 inch flat screen tv,,with all sorts of connections on the back and side,,it also has a USB connection,,,,i hooked my phone right up to the tv,,and the tv actually see's my memory card,,,you can view your pics and videos < if the videos are formatted for the tv to see> and you can use the oem data cable that come with the phone.
Not trying to bring back from the dead, but have done much searching only to come up with mixed opinions. Does this phone have Video out capabilities via a component cable?
So last night i connected my SGS3 to my TV via USB it shows up on my Samsung TV But only too look at my pictures and my videos is there. Is there any way i can go to like a website like justin.tv on my phone then connect to the TV and watch it stream to my TV? I tried Allshare play but seem to only let me look at my photos and my videos that i have stored on my phone.

Don't know how to explain set-up but look into an app called Twonky. I searched Youtube on how to set it up. I turn my bluray player on and can play any file from my phone through a home network. My TV is older and doesn't have the capability but my bluray player does. Hope it helps
I think i figured it out i was looking at the pic and just found out you have to have a MHL to HDMI Adapter from samsung and you can view everything your doing on your phone to your tv just like that! I also found a video of someone using the HDMI adapter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej94ZiyQaVk&feature=related..... So cool i can stream anything i find online to my tv!
I can't wait for the wireless adapter to come out. I saw a Sprint rep show off the HTC Evo LTE's ability to cast phone content to a tv via HTC 's wireless adapter, it's a pretty cool feature.

Look for allshare cast adapter. Won't be out till September but it'll mirror your phone like an HDMI cable but via all share cast app. I think all the latest ota update have this app included

I've connected to a Sony bdpbx59 and Samsung bd5700 blu ray players.
Both displayed pictures fine but streamed the videos very choppy on both usb and Wi-Fi connection.
I messed with it for a few days and couldn't figure out if it was the players or something i massed in configuration.
What kind of not ray player are you using?
Do you stream via Wi-Fi or are you connecting your phone to your blu Ray via usb?

Try this
This cable: amazon.com/Adapter-HDMI-EPL-3FHU-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0080CXSOU/ref=sr_1_16?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1345493155&sr=1-16
It mirrors everything and is available now so if you really want to be able to do that, this should work. If you can deal with it not being wireless it should work fine.

why does this have to be rediculously expensive? sure it would be nice to connect the cord and easily watch youtube video's and etc., but what other purpose would you need to stream video from ur phone to ur tv? i'm not a huge android gamer so that is kind of out of the question too.. $40 is a bit much to justify it's purpose :/ then there is business uses where people might use this at work for presentations, which i won't need to do.. this is a very expensive adapter

Nobody actually buys official samsung adapters, they are way too overpriced.
There's this MHL cable for $11 and an adapter tip for the SGS3 for $10 so it comes out to $21.
Hell, I'd pay up to $80 for it since other things you can buy for the same purpose are $200 or more - PS3, Bluray player, etc. These other devices can't even do nearly the same (no MKV, AVI, etc.).
With the MHL cable, I can just download a movie on my phone and watch it on the TV.
I guess it doesn't matter much if you aren't a huge TV/Movie watcher, but I ditched Comcast TV and now I watch usually 1 movie a day and a bunch of TV shows every time I discover a new (good) series. The way I watch these is with the MHL cable through the TV.
Another option
There is another option, if you are just looking to play videos on your phone on your television. If you have a ps3 or some other device capable of finding media servers you could just connect to your phone (there are some apps on the market that will let you do that). Only problem is that on ps3, cinavia protection might stop you.

Everything on the screen is mirrorable.
Alright, I've found 1,000 walkthrough's for streaming video's through an HDTV, but what about for those of us that still haven't upgraded to one? I don't watch mainstream television, and I don't really play console video games so I've seen no need to make the upgrade. It would be nice if I could figure out a way to connect it via RCA because although I don't personally watch TV/WHATEVER I do occasionally have guests that do!!! My idea would be starting with the original cable, running it through HDMI, and then something like this: http://dx.com/p/greenconnection-hdm...campaign=124&gclid=COaks-_s5rgCFQE6Qgod7DkATg
It sounds good in theory, but that'd be a good $70 all together and an unnecessary amount of cabling... Any alternative/cheaper suggestions/anybody that's actually tried this???
Afraid you'd have to use the rca adaptor when going with an older tv. Had to pick on up for our tablet and my daughter's tv. Keep in mind (didn't look at the specs in your link) that you also want to make sure that your phone can get power *and* be connected through hdmi. Our tablet has separate power and hdmi connections. Not so much on the s3

Only problem is that when I try to stream from Xfinity App it says I must disconnect my secondary output device Can anyone please help disable this?
Thanks a lot!!
Try using the Netgear PTV3000 Miracast adapter. It is compatible with Allshare cast. I've been using for several months and works great for mirroring whatever is on your screen and is wireless. I think it also supports 5.1 sound and 1080p.
So after searching through all forums on the internet and couldnt find anything I finally came up with a way to connect my galaxy s 3 to my Pioneer DVD head unit to display video. I bought the all share cast dongle and connnected a hdmi to composite converter then ran my yellow/red/white composite cables to the back of my pioneer avh 3300bt and it works great video displays flawlessly and 100% Wireless from phone to head unit. Use all share cast option on gs3 now my screen is mirrored on my head unit screen. I will post pics tom.

Awesome.
I have an HTC EVO 4G LTE and an HTC Media Link HD.
I just installed a Pioneer x2500BT, and totally let down at the lack of interoperability for Android.
Pandora works fine. BT audio works fine. Of course, USB and DVDs no problem. Just all the "apps" they say work - don't.
I walked by my Media Link HD collecting dust and briefly thought, "Hrm, wonder if I could use that." and kept on trucking. Didn't think about HDMI to composite... hrm, but that leaves me in a dilemma ... what if I want to play from my Transformer Prime.. it has HDMI out... hmmm... some more to think about.
Most MHL cables require a power source, correct? Just thinking of options.
And I love AllShare on the PS3 - good stuff.
heh, thanks for the info!

Hi,
Could you please post some pictures and whether you are able to control the phone from pioneer? I'm trying to replicate a similar setup with my S4 and Pioneer 3300BT.
[Q] Will an iMito MX2 wirelessly "stream" pix and video on my S3 to my non-DLNA TV?
Will an iMito MX2 wirelessly "stream" (show) pix and video already on my S3 to my non-DLNA TV thru the MX2 to the HDMI in port?
I understand it is supposed to be able to stream NetFlix or (with a mod) Hulu from the internet thru a wifi connection but I just want to show pictures or videos already on my phone to my TV without having to use an MHL cable.
I am leery of Samsung stuff like the AllShare Cast hub. Samsung stuff seems to be proprietary and Samsung seems to constantly change their stuff so it will not run on new models (the 5/11 pin MHL S2 cable not working on the S3 is a case in point, although I guess it boosts Samsung aftermarket sales. Additionally there are threads that the AllShare hub is not playing nice with JB.
I have ordered an MX2 for $50 but it is on the slow boat from China.
The MX2 is an android stick that runs on JB. I think I may have to install FoxFi on it and ArkMC on my S3.
So, how is it going with streaming?
I'm interested in this as well. Also interested in the other way around, ie, from the PC to the imito. The imito is connected wirelessly to a wifi extender, which in turn is connected to the wifi itself. I'm pretty sure it can be done, I just don't have the slightest idea about networks...
Has anyone found a way to hook up their tablet to their TV with full display? I bought an hdmi adapter but it has a black bar on each side not covering the whole TV display. My note 10.1 2013 version didn't have this problem.
I have the same issue and haven't found a solution so far. What makes it worse, it defaults to a 1080i 24hz signal which is very noticeably laggy especially when gaming. And the colors are bad. Makes no sense, the note 10.1 should have 0 issue pushing 1080p/60hz when it does usually alot more than that.
what we need is hdmi options. I also want to be able to turn off the screen of my tablet when it's outputting to the TV.
Exactly!!! I even bought an hdmi cable that plugs into power and it's not charging the tablet at all. I also would love if you could shut the tablet off while doing so. Do you think the samsumg all cast wirele hub is the answer? For now anyway? Correct me if im wrong but doesnt it fix all problems were discussing except the "covering the whole screen" part? Well and slight lag... man this sucks... how is this tablet not as supported as the 1st generation one? Lame...

I did some testing today and it really grinds my gears... I have a 3rd party adapter 5 in 1 (hdmi, usb, sd card, micro sd, micro usb) standard 5 pin mhl and an adapter for 11 pin mhl.
-my wife's galaxy s2 works perfectly with the 5 pin. Outputs full 1080p / 60hz smooth and responsive.
-My sgs3 doesn't work at all with the adapter (4.3 stock), it starts charging but there is no image on the screen.
-my note 10.1 2014 works but it outputs 1080p / 24hz and it has a really bad delay that makes it impossible to play games, and of course 24 fps is laggy as ****. And of course it has black boarders on the side.
I can't believe that there isn't a settings menu for hdmi. Even my old transformer tf201 had one. And you get the best experience with the 4 year old sgs2(running 4.2). Unbelievable.

I've never used a physical adapter so can't really draw one. AllShare Cast works really well on the N10.1-14, a lot faster than my old N10.1-12. Video apps that were barely usable on the '12 are no problem on the '14. I'm not a big gamer so perhaps someone who is and uses AllShare Cast can comment.

Thanks for the info. Does it cover your whole TV screen? I can't really tell in the pics. I don't game on my tablet trying to look at a TV lol I personally think that's kinda dumb. I have a ps3 and games on my tablet that I just play on my tablet.

The TV's got a black frame so it's hard to see. I'd say the picture being mirrored is 100% with some small bars on the sides that are necessary to adjust 16:10 to 16:9. I've noticed nothing distorted in any of the apps/content I've viewed.
PS3
Here's another question, I just hooked my tablet up to my ps3 via bluetooth and it will allow me to share video, pic's, and music. But I have some videos downloaded and put them in that folder where the ps3 is looking for them. I rebooted and the ps3 still does not see the video. its an mp4 so Im not sure if I need to convert it to a different format or what. Anyone have any insight on that? Im still new to the ps3 as I just got it a few months back.
I'm not prepared to pay for another 70-80$ device (that's what allshare costs where i live) to get a good image... This tablet is a highly advanced device and i expect hdmi out to work. As I said it works very well on the 4 year old sgs2 why would it work worse on a 2014 device?

I agree that's a lot more money for something other cheaper devices already do. You go on a still keep your tablet?

EDIT: Never mind. I got it all to work. So I guess thats my work around for now. Im just going to use my ps3 to view the videos I want. Not the ideal solution but it beats spending more money! Hopefully something gets figured out in the mean time. I shouldn't have to rely on a ps3 for this type of thing on such an awesome device.
