I am planning to connect my xperia arc to optoma pk101 pico projector. Can I use a standard 3.5mm to av out cable for this purpose? if not which is an altenate way to connect my arc with the above said projector?
Pretty sure the Arc can only output via HDMI.
@vasigar
If you do end up trying it, do let us know if it works. Thanks.
Ive tried connecting with a 3.5mm to video on my tv and it didnt work, if your projector has a pc or dvi input you could try a hdmi-dvi adapter

Its an audio output only. You will have to use HDMI.

ya of course I know that 3.5 mm is an audio only port. But somewhere I read in the internet that there is a cable destined for this purpose. Like IM700 AV Cable from SE. There are some cables availabe in Ebay for xperia arc also. Like the one in this link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Sony-Ericsson-3-5mm-AV-TV-Out-Cable-Arc-/190560426334
can I use them.
please someone help. I wanna connect my phone with my new projector optoma Pk101 bought from ebay http://www.ebay.in/itm/iPod-Project...4?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3a69e6bd16
I desperately need some way to connect ma phone. I ordered the projector without seeing properly if I can connect my phone to it. If no one helps then my projector will sit dumb in my house able to connect only with some old dvd players and tv tuners
is there something like this available for my arc

Not much anyone can do mate, the 3.5mm jack simply does not output video.

You may be able to use a HDMI to DVI/composite cable, so using the standrad HDMI cable that came with your phone which connects to the converter cable.
If your projecter has composite in or DVI in, it should work.
I can't post links so google "HDMI to Composite" or similar.
just got a used arc from ebay to upgrade from my x10, its got a cracked screen but still works so i got it cheap, problem is with the usb. it didnt come with a charger or usb lead but i thought the x10 cable would fit but it doesnt. is the arc cable different or do i have a faulty usb port and can the usb port be changed or is it built into the motherboard like it is on the x10?
Exact same mate.
sinkster©
Yeah i had the x10 and im still using the cable... it should be microusb, If its not.... something is up with your arc or at least your cable
cable still works fine on the x10 so thats fine, so is the usb part of the motherboard on the arc?
Looking around to see if anyone have ever used a micro USB to HDMI MHL adapter for the Xperia Z/ZL.
Thanks.
yeah i have used mine - works fine, better than when on my galaxy nexus

We just can't use the MHL adapter that is specific for Galaxy S3 / S4.
The standard model (for Galaxy Nexys, Galaxy S2, HTC Evo 4G Tablet, HTC Sensation 4G etc) is the one that works perfectly.
I order this one from ebay, will post the results once received.

I received my MHL adapter and it works great. I need to connect with a charger to have it working properly.

yup i have 2 different MHL adapters i bought some time ago. Both works great. Cheers :good:
I ordered an MHL adapter from Amazon this weekend, they delayed my order and when it was ready to ship they had a snag with my usual form of payment. But by the time I was ready to fix it, the Chromecast had come out.
I wanted the MHL adapter to stream HBO Go content to my TV, since there is no PS3 app and my Samsung TV doesn't have an app for it. With the Chromecast, it seems like this can be fixed by being able to push the content from HBO Go and other sources directly from my phone or my Chrome browser. Looks interesting, and for $35, it's worth a shot. I cancelled my MHL adapter order and placed a (late) order for a Chromecast.
We'll see.

I continued to play around with the MHL adapter. I noticed that the remote control of my TV does not control the ZL when connected. After some searches, I figured that the MHL adapter needs to be RPC/CEC compatible as well. I have a Samsung LED TV with have Anynet+CEC. I used to connect Xperia Arc over HDMI and was able to control from remote control. So when buying MHL adapter make sure it is RPC/CEC compliant!
Hi guys I have an xperia zl. The ebay link provided does not allows delivering to my USA adddress. Do you know if this will work? http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt...sation/dp/B005F9W6DU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Mirroring is only available in selected Sony Tvs..but cable can be used with any having an hdmi connection.
Quality wise not much of difference in video but audio is better via hdmi

Hi gduong, did you manage to find a MHL adapter that is RPC/CEC compatible that is also confirmed working? I also just saw the other recent posting from a fellow forum member seems to point to a potential one...

Hello Venexiano,
Did you manage to get this cable to try out on the Xperia ZL ?
http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapt...sation/dp/B005F9W6DU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I too, am looking at this cable. But, I don't want to buy it until I see someone reporting back on the forum if this is fully working with our Xperia ZL.
One particular user comment says this, which is a bit worrying:
Will NOT output 1080p. Only outputs in 720p.
Works ok on Gingerbread... But
ICE CREAM SANDWICH BREAKS THIS MHL ADAPTER.
If you plan on upgrading to ICS... DO NOT BUY.
Any advice/info is appreciated. Thanks.
Hey,
I did not buy any cable yet since I got no answer to my question. Please let me know if you find a solution that works. I might post this in some other forum and I let you know.
thanks
Alberto

I'm in india and in this link it says that it's for Samsung smartphones... Will it work with xperia zl? Do you have this particular one in ebay or did you just give a similar mhl product to the one that you bought?
Thanks.
Been not that active a couple of months.But recently caught a video on YouTube using this so called USB onthego cable on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
The actual device which I am about to switch to.
Man, I was facinated.
The thought of increasing the memory volume on a meagre device such as an Arc was incredible.
You don't have to stash your full HD movies or your 1K odd of music downloads in your PC nomore,just to make room on your 32GB so that the device don't lag further.
For now the Galaxy note 2 can wait.
Been hard at googling and reading all about USB OTG cables.Could not find a proper cable which is suitable for a rooted SE Xperia Arc LT15i on AOKP M1R3 custom rom with Fusion kernel ver5.5
In some it says you would have to mod it to mount into the USB slot and some says it works great.
Then again there's the USB OTG helper app which also says it might not work on some devices.
So,is there anyone here who use this cable on a rooted xperia arc.Would oblige to hear what your recommendations be.

I am not sure, if Fusion and JB ROMs actually have USB OTG support. Stock GB (most likely ICS aswell) do have this feature.
As for the cable, there is only one type, that can be used - female USB to male microUSB aka USB On-The-Go cable.
I've bought a cheap OTG cable at ebay (€ 0,99 inc transport) and it works perfectly (UHD 4.0 and Lupus v.16 - OTG should be enabled on lupus menu)
And you need to use USB OTG Helper (just download it from play store).
Hi, does anybody know whether the hdmi to micro usb work on xperia s? I mean i know it has a dedicated hdmi port but i accidentally wet my phone and now hdmi not working anymore but it.can still charge.. I dont want to have it repaired cause i heard it takes 2 months with their crappy customer service.
