Phone 2 tv?

Hey XDA..can someone confirm the "t.v. Out" option for galaxy S's? Apparently its only the international models? Will a HDMI via usb cable allow me to link mobile through tv. Ive also read GS's play video through the headphone jack, can rca jacks do the trick? Im lookn to watch my phone movies on the "big screen". Is there an app for this action? Thanxs again. U guys make this easy!

Thanxs for your response. Appreciated. Guess I shoulda lookt around a bit. This was an all new option for me to learn about. Kant wait till the all mighty wise 1s figure it out for my setup.

Does gingerbread epic have tv out?

I just found out my van works with tv out (through 3.5mm jack). I know its in developement for froyo, but does gingy support it?

Up up
same question

It is a belief that there are too many blocks for it on Froyo but Gingerbread should open it up for use...may not be included in stock GB but who here uses stock..lol?

The service is not commented out in th init.rc for the first time ever..
And if you run ps, the service is running...

Nice! So maybe.......

What's so frustrating is that if u look deep into the phone, its active and working. Its almost as if sprint has a block on it not samsung. In addition, if u download pro launcher u can create a shortcut for the tvout settings but it just forcecloses when u try to open. I'm dying for this feature so bad!!!

You know maybe they will finally let it out. Wasn't sprint tv the reason they wonked it for us? Because of the deal they had with the provider of that service or something. I hear they're doing away with it. Or they're gonna start charging for it or something.
Cd's or tapes?

Dudes we do have tv... its dnla wireless. Any tv with dnla should wor with it.

this is correct.

would be so nice to have this. Right now, I can stream to my TV via xbox, but would be much nicer to hook it straight to the TV.
now since i don't have two xbox's I can only stream it to one TV which is meh..

I think u are missing the point, a lot of ppl want it to MIRROR to a tv. What's the point of connecting wireless to tv when u can only watch pictures and videos from ur phone memory. 3.5mm Tvout is so useful that u can connect to ANY tv. Think about it, how many tvs out there don't have RCA inputs????

If I'm not mistaken the support for TV out the Epic has is limited to USB -> HDMI.
I'm not 100% on this, there could also be support for TV out via the headphones jack.
But going by what most phones these days do, I'd say we'll see it via USB->HDMI before we do via 3.5mm headphone jack.

No Dice. MHL (aka mini USB -> HDMI) is a no go. EC05 Syndicate 1.2.

Like the 3.5mm, the usb to hdmi is also running but won't work. If u look deep into phone, u can see that its there but blocked somehow . Its believed to be blocked by sprint
Rumors say gingerbread update might unblock. But ofcourse don't hold your breath for either the update or unblock

If you turn off the screen, the screen doesn't show up on the TV or monitor. Either way, you have to have you phone plugged in to use the adapter anyway (At least the Samsung one makes you have it plugged in)

Yeah. "Extended" screens not allowed? Maybe the hardware only allows for duplicating screen.

Yeah its a drag because i dont even need the sceen to imput commands since i use a ps3 controler to control it.

Every HDMI output I've seen does this. Even on my G2x with a dedicated HDMI port. My Asus Transformer does this too. Kinda sucks on battery. Not only are you running a PSx emulator, running a bluetooth controller, using MHL, but also forced to run with the screen on chomping up the battery.
I guess it is just the way they are wired up.

PS3 Controller on i747M

I have been trying to hook up my PS3 controller to my i747M S3 with Bell and nothing happens. It's an original PS3 controller with an OTG cable.

I was able to pair a PS3 controller with my AT&T S3 using the sixaxis program on Market Place. You have to run a configuration program with the Controller hooked to your pc to match with your phone. Once done, you should be able to pair it.

Oh yea!? Thems fightin words....

I've used sixaxis on every recent android I've owned with no issues. That said, I use an otg cable as well without issue, it just takes about a minute or so for it to start working. Still haven't found an otg cable that fits tightly though.

Love my sixaxis here too + hdmi out...
Only downside is that you have to manually pair the controller every time you want to game instead of it being ready to go. Other big hassle is that you have to create your own button mapping profile (or google one) for each new game that you want to play. Wish there was a good app to centralize most of them. Would have to be a root app, though, in order to save 'em into the sixaxis config dir: /data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles/GameName.map

fyi - this guy makes an s3+ps3 controller mount: http://buy.thegameklip.com/
for a few dollars more you can also have him include short usb cables to connect the controller, which according to him doesnt require root... unlike the bluetooth method.
i ordered the mount, but im still waiting for amazon to ship my ps3 controller. its nothing super amazing, but does the job.

that hdmi out is so laggy I couldn't use it ended up sending it back to the store.
+1 on the app perhaps starting a bounty to host all the maps for tablet and phone model although I rarely game, it does a few minutes to conduit the map

I got my Xbox controller working, but I had to get a paid app. It runs pretty well though. It's called USB/BT Joystick Center.
Edit: forgot to mention, you will need a otg usb cable

I have been playing Super Metroid with SGNES (?) and sixaxis. I get about a .5 second lag. It is fun to play at work, but not going to try and finish it with the lag.

Mass storage and car stereos.

I started with a HTC Evo and loved the mass storage option since 99% of car stereos are iOS supported only. But the mass storage was a plus because I was able to still plug my evo in via usb on my stereo and see all my songs listed.
Upgraded to S3 and was a little actually a lot upset that mass storage is not supported. Sure I could blue tooth my s3 but don't want the hassle of looking down at my phone and searching through songs. I was speaking with my buddy at Best Buy and he said in 2013 car audio suppliers are going to roll out full Android supported stereos.
Just thought I would share in my frustration with no mass storage options.

There are already head units that support android out for about two years now, look on crutchfield's site.

I was as well rather disappointed that neither the stock HU in my Jeep nor the aftermarket HU in my work truck interfaced with my GS3. Luckily all of my music is on my iPhone, which works great with with of them. To be honset, that's the only reason I bought an iPhone.

Are you looking for a single din, don't prefer pioneer? I don't get it, yes it is one unit and there is an app in the market that mirrors the phone through the radio so you don't have to worry about mass storage for music since you can stream it or use whats on the phone.

Do you really expect us all to go buy a new head unit...?

I had the same issue on a Sony Xplode (something like that) car deck that was designed for Crapple via USB.
When I had my music on my SD card the deck would not read it via USB. I moved the files to my Internal storage and have been using it ever since. Can see artists, albums and song names.
I'm Stock Rooted.

I have a pioneer unit already. My point is I don't feel like paying $500+ for a pioneer unit for my phone. I like pioneer very much but they have only one unit and I'm not dishing out all that money. Get it now?

Sure, looks like your best bet is blue tooth then, a pain yes unless you have an ipod for music.

I've seen apks listed that re-enable UMS mode for the GS3, but I don't know if it's just for the international version or if it will work on the Sprint version. You may want to do a google search on UMS and GS3.
