Well the thread title says it all. I want to buy a MHL adaptor such as this but im not sure if it will also transmit sound over the HDMI and into the TV (for watching movies)! Anyone has one of these who can confirm this ?
It does, I watched a load of bear grylls round my mates house a while ago, worked a treat, the only letdown was that the TVs hdmi is dodgy and kept falling out the socket (what fool would design a tv with hdmi pointing down lol)

HI, i bought an tv out cable yesterday and i didn't thin that will it work on my device, so i'd like to know if you guys have any experience.
Sorry for my english =}
tv out? what? what kinda of cable? micro usb to tv?
Please report if it will work, thanks
tv-out
i mean an rca cable, red, yellow, white. Its plugged into the 3,5mm port
i think i will receive it tomorrow so i will report if it works
the galaxy 3.5mm jack is only for sound.
you cant get any video from it.
if you connect it to your tv only sound will be heard.
i dont really know if micro usb to tv out works but i seriously doubt that it does.
there is a micro hdmi port for tv out on some phones or some other proprietary port.

there is just one option - if your TV set playes avi / divx / movie files from USB port, then you can use your mobile as a USB drive. That's all. No TV mirroring.
there is no tv out option in our galaxy 3..... it will work only if the hardware supports...... so waste of trying that.....
dommage is
No TV out
Galaxy 3 doesn't have a TV out.

buy a tv samsung and use DLNA service i have one and SG3 + router + tv ([email protected] wireless) and everything works very very well
I have movies on your computer and share across the home network with the program for samsung, I can watch the movies on TV and in sg3, can also control the sg3 the movies I see on TV, very good and practical, when I talk about movies, I speak of pictures too of course
Without even looking or thinking, I can say that no, It's not possible to get a TV out signal from SG3
it could be a nice feature but i think it doesn't work.
not possible but can use Samsung's All Share or similar app for streaming media right?
rca on one end and 3.5mm jack with 4 contacts on the other is for sound only. white + red is for left + right channel output and yellow would be for microphone IN (just like your headphones that came with SG3). NO VIDEO OUTPUT FOR SURE!
what's your report???
One of the most things that amazed me in Galaxy S II .Is the ability to output to HD/SD screens but today i've bought a 3.5m to RCA cable then plugged it in but there was no image and no option for TV-OUT !
So where is the TV-OUT exactly ?
Really, you did what?
I don't know how you could expect a video signal from an audio port. The thing you are looking for is the MHL Adapter (USB to HDMI) which isn't on the market right now (June most likely).

well actually the first sgs had tv-out from the 3.5mm port, as well as some nokia models, my dv cam has the same so its not impossible, but i find it strange that more people don't know that the sgs2 has the MHL adapter, see threads like this popping up all over
I'm surprised people are largely unaware of this too.
I really need the MHL cable, I used my Nokia 3.5mm TV Out cable a lot with my SGSI, really looking forward to being able to output HD content with the SGSII !!!
MHL was added, so tv out was removed.
photo editor was added, so adjustable saturation, sharpness, and brightness was removed.
video editor was added, so ability to pause while recording video was removed.
Thats the Wonder of Samsung~
Does anyone know if a non-samsung specific MHL cable would work with the SGS2, same as generic USB on the go cables work ok?
and yes, with the release of netflix today, and newly discovered "TV Shows Stream" app, i have to use my old sgs..
i wonder if software can fix this, or if hardware is missing.. someone should look into this
Its a standard, so yes, a non-Samsung one should work (only reservation for me is that GSMarena say that this one only works when a charging USB cable is connected to the adapter, so if a non-Samsung one didn't have a charging input it may not work).
MHL is just another way of saying HDMI-out !
I'm asking about the SD output that uses RCA connectors to plug into TVs.
Yep, I know what you're asking, it doesn't work (several of us have tried).
your one of those many people who don't really know what they are buying when they buy it, always a mistake. You need to do your homework before you waste any more money my friend.
Its all about the MHL port dude....

thats not true at all.. there were no reviews of this phone before it came out, and thats like saying 'oh you expected mp3 support?' yes ofc we did, isn't it a given?
will mhl be able to interact with rca at all? or are all tvs pre 2010 useless now?

I believe that person was discredited later though.
In any case they are mistaken, because myself and several others have confirmed this is NOT working with the SGSII.
Sorry, wrong post

There has been plenty of info floating around about this phone prior to release and on release day, if I and plenty of other people new about this and you didnt then as I said before you didnt do your homework
the MHL port will work with all tv's with HDMI ports, however it will only charge your phone via this port with new TV's with MHL compatible ports.
@ stoolzo
what about those TV'S with no HDMI ports.........???

Join the 21st century and buy one that has?
seriouslly hdmi has been out for years and it is the norm on all TV's. That would be like having an argument about scart if your TVis 20 odd years old?
Does anyone know of a working solution for a USB to RCA output on the atrix? I have AV inputs in my car and want to, mirror my phone onto my nav screen. Did a sear h and didn't find anything. DINC has a custom cable for this from HTC. THANKS!

You'd most likely need a digital to analog converter (like those boxes), and you'd need a bunch more since I doubt it has any video out besides the HDMI. Which doesn't do any sort of mirroring without hacks (unless I am not aware?)
That said, I don't think it is possible.
That's pretty much the answer all my searching has led me too as well. Samsung , HTC, and apple all support video out through USB or even audio jack.

Atrix has an hdmi port so there would be no need for video over usb. Analog audio can be transferred over, however.

I would like to hook my phone up to my Samsung plasma TV and use it for txting etc. What would I need? Any special ROM? App?

I got the OEM MHL to HDMI adapted from Amazon for $14. You need your own separate HDMI cord...I saw a few adapters that go straight to an extended 6' HDMI cable but this is fairly small and compact.
Unfortunately there's no such thing as wirelessly streaming your phone's screen over Wi-Fi to your TV so the only downside is that you have to be in a physical proximity with your TV
Also, it's a great thing if your TV has a USB service input. I'm not sure if this is just my TVs but I need to connect my data cable to the adapter, as well as the TV for the phone to mirror itself on my television. Basically it needs an external power source to run its course.

I'm not 100% on this but thought I read somewhere our phone has
DLNA built in? Which if your TV has it too will allow wireless streaming of certain material.I doubt would transfer your home screen for texting but can stream videos you've shot with your phone. Usually fuzzy pic thou, I tried I couple times when I had the sensation.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
You can also connect with DLNA to an xbox or ps3 and stream videos and music from your phone that way. It works great with my SGSII and my Amaze.
I know you can get a HDMI to micro usb but I do not have any other means of connecting (my TV is fairly old)
Is there any other way of connecting?
Wi-Fi -> AllShare Play - if you have an Allshare capable Samsung TV.
If only HDMI port available then go for the Allshare cast Dongle.

I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0080KN18K/ and it works fine. Picture quality is obviously degraded, but it looks as good as can be expected with the signal. I use it in my car along with the Samsung MHL adapter.

Not that I can tell. Then again, I'm using it on a really low quality screen in my vehicle rather than a true TV/monitor.
Dropped in to tell the op what to look for, instead found a link to exactly what is needed. Thanks!
I have an a/v modulator to send the signal through coax as some of the hotel tv's i'm confronted with don't even have rca jacks, but it won't take an hdmi input. So from this thing to that thing I can patch modern tech backwards to the stone age and use it.
XDA wins again.
