I did a search and didn't see anything about this, so I'll post my question.
Has anyone gotten this to work? I plugged in my a/v cable (3.5mm to RCA) into the adapter that came with the TP2, and it into the TP2 usb port, then connected the RCA ends to my TV and when I tried to start the TV out under settings, it said I needed the TV Out cable.
I couldn't find anything in the provided documentation about this (surprise). I don't have the HTC cable, nor do I have the iphone/ipod cable, but I can't believe that this one would be any different from the icrap one, it's a freaking standard.
Any one?
The video out is actually the usb port. You need to buy a cable that is usb to composite
If your cable is iPod compatible, you should be able to install this get TV Out to work.
this is what i bought and it works great with my sprint tp2 http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=179148
I dont understand what you mean by iPod compatible?
Dont I need HTC's special USB video cable? Does anybody have a wireing schematic on that so I can make one? I have a million 3.5mm to rca cables lying around but that wont work...

From my understanding (my tilt2 hasn't come yet, so I can't confirm) you should have an adapter that comes with your device that converts the ext-USB into a 3.5 mm headphone jack. You can plug an HTC 3.5mm to RCA cable in that jack, or put an iPod compatible RCA cable (uses the same pinouts as HTC's cable and is essentially identical, but cheaper) and change HKLM\Software\HTC\H2W\TVOutCableIn to "1" in the registry in order to get it working. The software I linked to should do this automatically, so you don't have to do that each time. However, I don't know if this works on the TP2 since I don't have mine yet.
My touch pro 2 didnt come with that. I actually have a usb jack, and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom. It is the Verizon version.
Ok, I followed the instructions on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CLPjcImHAg&feature=fvw
I did both reg hack changing 0 to 1, as well as trying the icon under settings. The reg hack did bring up the screen, but nothing was outputted to the TV. I can't believe my 3.5mm -> RCA cable is any different than an "ipod compatible" one, it has the 4 bands on the 3.5mm jack and 3 RCAs for audio (l/r) and video. Is there something I'm missing? I don't want to buy the HTC usb/rca cable, and would be pretty upset if I got it and it still didn't work.
i tried it with my camcorder cable and the extusb adapter supplied with my phone. no luck. my camcorder cable only has 3 bands. does this make a difference? i have literally hundreds of cables. i'll have to search and try out a few others. or i'll just buy the official one on ebay if necessary.
I attempted this tonite. Did not work.
Sprint TP2
Apple iBook AV cable - 3.5mm -> 3way RCA yel, red, white
HTC EXTusb adapter.
tried 2 different cabs (enabletvout.cab and nuetvout-102-v1) as well as just changing the reg value to 1.
tried changing around the rca cables to the video input on tv..
I was able to get the tv out options to display on the phone, but NOTHING ever went out to the TV.
I hear people are having success with the oficial HTC tp2 tv out cable, which is a miniUSB -> 3 way rca.
Any success using the 3.5mm jack on a sprint tp2 ?
I had some luck with a cable I had but found that I needed to use the Red RCA as my video and the Yellow and White as audio.

i was all excited but that didnt work for me.
I had to purchase the extusb to av jack like this one.
AV Cable Works great.
You don't need to install the TV out cab. It will auto pop up when the cable is inserted. Most roms have this built in. The Tilt 2 stock rom does.
I used the original HTC OEM multi adapter with my 3.5mm RCA cable after prying it open and cutting the blue cable, which enables Tv out on my Tilt 2, but disables headphone use which is why im putting a switch in there.
well, I purchased the USB to video output cable and it workd fine.. HOWEVER only certain program work.. for instance, I wanted to see if I could watch sprint TV using the TV out and it tells me it can not run wth tv out. is there any way to do this??
Do a search on PPCGeeks.com forums for "How did you get the tv out/video out to work on the touch pro 2." I had to remove/cut the blue wire from the multi-adapter which came w/ my TP2. Hook up a standard 3.5mm jack to composite cable that came with my camcorder. Then I was able to get audio and video working on my 47" TV. No other software was required. The only thing is, you have to swap the yellow cable with the red. Red now provides the video signal. Otherwise, everything else works great.
Credit goes to the original poster in PPCGeeks.com. I would have provided a link to the instructions, but since I'm still new on this site, my posting privileges are still limited. Good luck everyone. I hope this was the answer you were looking for.
What are we all talking about? on my TP2 (SPRINT) I bought a cable for video and audio output that has USB on one end and RCA plugs on the other end. I just plug it into the USB port of the TP2 and hook up the RCA to my TV. It also has a port for plugging in the charger while the video out cable is plugged it...

This is another option for those who do not wish to purchase the $20 - $25 USB to composite cables for the video outputs. Most of us received the USB multi-port device with our TP2. But by just cutting the blue wire from that device, you can have video output with a standard 3.5mm to composite cable (Red, white, yellow). Some of us may have this cable lying around the house. It usually comes with camcorders. If not, many places sell these standard cables for about $2 to $5. It's just information for those who wish to spend as little money as possible. That's all. Good luck.
All the video cables I find have the regular mini usb data cable port and not the different HTC mini usb port. Are there video cables with the HTC usb port?
To clarify, the part that plugs into the phone is the HTC plug, but the plug for the charger midway down the cable is the plug I'm referring to. Where can I find one with the HTC usb plug instead of the mini usb?

I cannot find a USB to composite cable anywhere on the net. I don't think that it would even work with the TP2 video out capabilities.
Hi, im looking to buy a samsung mhl adapter however my tv only has rca connect, if i buy a hdmi to rca cable will the video still display on my tv.. i.e hdmi goes into mhl adapter and rca goes into tv... Thankyou
No, it wont work..if its just a simple adapter. Via HDMI or DVI... you get a digital signal. RCA or VGA...ect. you get a analog signal. It's not compatible to each other, except you connect a hdmi/rca converter between the two cables. Simple adapter from china just won't work..
You need a converter -- HDMI is a digital signal, whereas composite video (the single yellow RCA cable) or component video (red/green/blue RCA cables) are analog.
Something like this one from Monoprice will do the trick. eBay and Amazon also carry devices like this, in the same price range.
Thanks alot guys i will be buying a converter...
Hopefully you're aware that the video quality from composite will be quite poor.
Presumably if your TV doesn't have HDMI or VGA connectors then it's probably still a CRT screen?
Hi everybody, I've got sort of an unique situation. I have the HTC One X international version that i would like to hook up to my my TV so i can watch Netflix's on it, however the TV is ancient. What i need to know is if its possible to go from the HOX's video out to RCA plugs and if so how? Also i was wondering if there's any way to hook it up via wireless connection instead of running cables, such as Bluetooth or wifi on the phone to a receiver that would plug into the TV or DVD players RCA plugs. I also want to be able to hook it up to my friends flat screen, but for that ill just go pick up a micro USB to HDMI adapter i believe. Thanks in advance...
I buyed i9100 about 3 weeks ago, and i know that s2 supports hdmi trough mhl, but i'm not shure does s2 supports simple tv out cable(RCA 3.5mm), i tried to connect my tv and s2 and nothing happends.. I saw on internet that peoples selling RCA cables and saying it works with s2 but i also noticed that they have some kind of covertor on cable, here are some pics of my RCA cable an here is a link where i saw RCA cable for s2, so my question is: How i can manage my phone to output phone screen on my tv with this cable(it it's possible)?
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9fh3ppg63ims23i/A_4Jt2e_PT
nope. it doesn't work, that feature is only present on the galaxy s1. the s2 only supports mhl out through the micro usb and with an hdmi connection.
Ok, i was hoping that this might work because my tv doesn't supports hdmi
RCA TV not work

The S2 dont have analog output, only have digital output MHL HDMI.
This cable is presumably for IPod video or some device that has Analog Video OUT.
and its have sound because they are plugged into the audio output.
Sorry for my English (Google Translated)
Do you know what is the solution for that? Should I buy a sort of converter or something else?
Buy an sgs1 off eBay for £20 second hand yes£20 I couldn't believe it either there very cheap now. It does what you want I have both sgs1 and sgs2 never sold the sgs1 because it has this feature also has one of the best sound chips of any mobile phone .

Hi,
I just bought the Monoprice micro usb to HDMI MHL adapter for my SGS2.
When I directly connect to my TV, it is working, but my tv sound sucks so I want to take advantage of my home theatre system instead.
I have a Sony BDV-N990W with an ARC (audio reverse channel) hdmi + 2 regular hdmi inputs. I plugged the hdmi to the mhl adapter that is connected to the Sony hdmi input. All is doing is hdmi connected/hdmi disconnected literally every seconds.
I reboot my phone, changed to 2 other hdmi cables I have, changed hdmi ports; still the same result...
Did anyone else have a similar issue? If so, any solutions or suggestions?
