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...

That registry entry is what the cab flips back and forth for you. Just install the cab...
I have an in dash DVD player with A/V input, and I love hooking up my TP2 so I can watch Sports Center on my way to work. My only problem is that the screen has to stay on in order for the video to be output. The sound still works when I hit the power button, but not the video. When the screen is on there is a high pitched buzz that is really annoying. It goes away immediately when I turn the screen off.
Is there any reg edit that will allow the screen to be off and still output the full A/V?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know if there's a way to do that, but have you tried just going into the settings and shutting off the backlight, and seeing if that kills the noise?
I turned the backlight all the way down and that didn't do the trick...
There has to be something in the registry, otherwise why would the audio work with the screen off but not the video!
Help! I just took a job with an hour and a half commute and I need this function w/o getting a headache from the buzz!
is the buzz coming through the car speakers? if so, its probably a grounding issue. Does the buzz happen when the phone is running on batteries? Or only when its running on AC power from the car? If its coming from the phone speaker, I have no idea.

The buzz is heard through the car speakers. I thought it was poor shielding at first, but when I hit the power button on top to turn the screen off, the buzz goes away and the music sounds great! The buzz does get infinitely worse when I plug in the AC into the side adapter in my A/V cable. I was using the multiplug with the blue wire cut, so I decided to order an actual OEM cable to see if that fixed the problem, but no go there. The buzz also gains/decreases intensity based on what's on the phone screen itself. I.E. when on the Today screen the buzz is softer than when it's in Kinoma Play or Slingbox.
I really just want a solution where the video can be output along with the audio when the screen is off...has to be software related I would imagine!
Hello! My SGS3 friends, I have bought a MHL adapter, bluetooth keyboard, and a bluetooth mouse. So far, the whole setup has been lovely, BUT...
1) I want some way to use the power button from my keyboard.
2) The screen is like, 5% zoomed in, it's the TV's fault, but I would love some way to fix it, probably phone based as none of the TV settings can fix it
Thanks much for any help!
Also, is there any way to like, turn the screen off while the phone is connected?
You can't turn the screen off because it's just projecting the screen via hdmi to your tv...
I also have that the edges are cut off the screen, this has nothing to do with the mhl adapter or your S3.
You need to adjust that with the tv settings, but both LCD screens here can't fix it, with 16:9 or other auto adjust settings.
Pixel to pixel is the problem I read somewhere, but some tv's just won't project it right.
Look on Youtube and you will see more people have the problem when they play games and so.
It's annoying but you can't use an other setting on the phone, and it's not the MHL adapters fault.

Hi guys (and girls),
I have HTC One X with stock ROM on it. I got myself a MHL cable (not original, from dealextreme) and i had an idea to make some kind of notebook from my one X. I already have BT mouse and keyboard (both logitech) and monitor with HDMI input port.
When i pair mouse and keyboard with my phone everything works well, i can write messages, scroll and all other stuff, but problem happens when i connect that MHL cable from my phone to monitor. I get clear and good picture on my monitor and everything is good when controlling phone by touch, but when i try to control it by mouse and keyboard everything really slows down. Mouse cursor has great amount of lag, and typing with keyboard is nearly impossible.
I saw other people using this kind of combination on youtube and other places and as i can see everything goes without problem, did anyone had experience like i have or has a reason why is this happening??
Thanks
wow, that could be normal, 1080p output and 2 bluetooth devices shouldn't be easy to handle together
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!
