Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my new touch pro 2 from verizon.
I purchased the act100 TV out cable:
http://store.wmexperts.com/htc-tv-out-cable-act100/11A75A5166A.htm
I plug it in as instrucated, the touch pro 2 asks me what type of signal i want (NTSC/PAL) then brings me to a screen where i can pick Presentations etc.
However the TV displays no images, i get sound but never a picture.
I have tried this on 2 different TV's and tried both NTSC and PAL and all i ever get is a blank screen with audio.
Am i missing something or is the device faulty?
thanks
Raptor

Hi Raptor,
I have exactly this problem, and I am quite distressed, because it worked only a few days ago. Did you ever get this issue resolved? I know you listed the same issue on another forum, but I couldn't tell how you did it from the post. How did it work?
Cheers,
Joel
Sad to say i never made this work sorry.
Me too, and google around doesn't help anyway,
If it's has resolved, pls post it in here or pm me.
Thanks
Ok, some year ago i tried to make the sound work through the speakers in my car.
I opened up a soundcable and modifyed it to fool the phone that it was in video out mode.
So here's how the cables should be connected. I can post my pics of how it looks and maby someone's able to figure something out from it
Actually, it would be really easy to fool the phone that it's in Video out mode, just bend the gnd wire to the tv-detector wire, and solder them together (inside the cable that goes into your phone).
The blue and the orange pin needs to be connected to each other inside the cable housing.
Edit: To clear things out this actually works on my phone and whenever i connect the cable it swaps over to video-out mode. No problems at all.
Edit2: Nevermid, after reading through your post i noticed that you've already got the phone thinking it's in video out mode, so that's probably not the problem.

Greetings Programs!
I currently have a 3.5mm to RCA cable which works for the Samsung Captivate, and it seems that Verizon removed video out support on the Fascinate. I have a rooted Fascinate, and I wanted to know if anyone is working on, or has successfully been get video output working on the device. I am 99% it is possible since I have looked in the 3.5mm jack and I see the video connector.
I was thinking that maybe a ROM based on another Galaxy S device may unlock the feature?
I was reading another thread on this same subject and others also seem to think that we have the same hardware in the jack. I would be willing to pet this feature will be implemented into a ROM as long as its possible, and I find that to be highly likely, as long as it does in fact have the hardware.
I am not a developer nor do I know if the captivate people have a system dump yet or not, but when they do and a ROM is cooked up, it should find its way to us fascinate users.
Heres a Captivate system dump... I am looking through it now to try to find anything useful. forum.xda-developers[DOT]com/showthread.php?t=730226
Any ROM developers here that want to add this to their ROM?
Even though I have no ideal how its supposed to charge the device Samsung says that a usb to hdmi is on its way. I would like a HD solution myself, but the RCA method mentioned here would do good if its a great deal cheaper than the $50 Dollar cable.

Where did you read this? I know that a couple of news briefs and blog posts said it was out, but I also heard that a Samsung rep (granted, this was on twitter ...) said that it was an error on their website, and that this particular cable (which I have not found a single real owner of one yet!) wasn't even originally meant for the GALAXY S devices.

Ive seen a few people in other galaxy s variant forums that ordered the cable and couldn't get it to work, Samsung was supposed to fix this with the froyo update, however, I ordered mine from daydeal and the day the order was supposed to ship I got an email from them saying that it had been recalled so they may have pulled the plug on hd out

Do a search for usb to hdmi. You will find a page called dealtime if I remember, that will lead to Samsung saying it doesnt work for the US models, but one is coming.
Well I don't need HDMI output... I am working on a project that needs RCA output.
Hopefully a custom ROM and/or the Froyo update will solve everything.
Check this out. If i had 20 bucks to try it out I would.

From what I was told all you had to do was plug it in and whatever showed up on the phone showed up on the TV.
I also heard that Samsung will officially be supporting this with the release of 2.2 which should be out by the end of October. A rep told me that it will be an app on the phone where you can display one thing on the tv while having another app open on the phone..
EXAMPLE: If you have a tv in your car you can play a movie on the tv, while looking at the navigation on the phone.
PS- I wont believe it, til I see it.
Got that cable for like 9.99
Won't work until someone ports tv out from another galaxy s variant, or we get 2.2.

tv out
Hey guys, im not a developer but the tv out through the 3.5mm jack works but only get sd quality. Heres how i got mine to work the cheapest way. I used my 3.5 mm jack cable to rca ends(red,yellow,white) cable. These usually come with your digital cameras or portable dvd players. Or get them at the dollar store for a few bucks. You have to pull the jack about 1-3 mm out after plugging it all the way in the headphone jack and then Switch the yellow (video) cord with either the white or red cord. Google it, theres been others with success and cheap. Cheers!

Yea, I'm not sure I buy this either. Explain how you get it to work.
I would vomit from laughing so hard if it was that easy hahahahaha
tv out
Im have the telus samsung fascinate. it works but only standard definition. the only setting you have to set is the "tv out" on the phone. "setting" ---> " display" ----> "tv out" switch to on. YOu can laugh all you want but im just trying to tell you that it works. Not all video rca jacks are the same. You have to try a couple. I actually bought one from the dollar store that works. As i said plug in the mini jack to rca like this one
once the mini jack is plugged in the phone, turn on the "tv out" setting in the phone. Then plug the red cord into the video input(yellow) of the tv. you will initially get a scrambled signal on the tv but slowly pull out the mini jack from the phone about 1-3 mm from the base. Its touchy and not perfect by any means but works. Until they come up with the video out on the usb socket then this will have to do. I doubt they will but you never know. cheers!
use this one i ordered it and it works fine

Unfourtunately, the Verizon Fascinate does not have the TV-Out option in the settings, and has never had one in the first place.

I got my mhl addapter but it is not working correctly. I hook the addapter to the hdmi cable then hook the power using the cable and power supply that came with the phone and finally connect to the phone. I do hear a beep and see the phone charging so i know the power connection is good. Most of the time i dont get anything at all in the monitor, sometimes all i get is a flashing of the screen as if a signal is coming and going and in a handful of instances it had work but it would play video very chopy at both the hdtv and the phone screen, like a frame every 3 seconds. I try my larger hdtv and exibit the same behavior execpt that i never got it to work. I realize the addapter migth be defective but in the other hand i might be doing something wrong. The videos i tried both works fine in the phone by itself. One is off youtube and one is a movie saved in the sd card.
Thanks!

I have trouble getting mine to connect to my monitor. It takes me many tries but when I finally get it to work I don't have choppy video like you are talking about...everything runs smooth.
You have debugging off, correct? Other than that it may be your adapter as mine has yet to give me a problem on any TV
The debugging set to on was causijg the lag in the video. Thanks. After i got that out of the way i played with it more and realized the reason i dont get video has to do with the usb cable. I can play with it and if i put pressure in an upward direction it works. So i know i do have a defective addapter. I will try other usb cables but this is a good working cable and brand new. Another issue worth to mention is how horrible the video quality is. It looks like real redish, no sharp at all. It reminds me the old time when we only had over the air tv signal and you were getting a signal from a distant station. Is this normal? I wasnt expecting 1080 full hd signal but if this is the way it is supposed to work then maybe i dont need this addapter after all. Anyone care to coment on their video quality?
I tried at work on my pc monitor with a hdmi to dvi adapter. I had no problem getting the adapter to work continuously but video got choppy again even without debuging on... I will do some more testing later...
hate to bump this but if anyone using mhl can chime in and let me know how good/bad is their video quality on a 32 inch (or higher) hd tv I will appreciate it much. If what I saw in mine is the way it is supposed to look then I might as well save my money and watch whatever I am watching in the phone itself....
Thanks!
I'm having the same issues, too. Would like to know if anybody knows how to resolve this.

I hook mine up to my 55in LCD every once in a while and the videos play at almost the exact quality as what's on the note's screen. The only difference I've noticed is the picture on my TV isn't as bright as on the note when playing videos.
Mine is good from time to time on a 42" screen, but the sound cuts out sometimes, and occasionally static goes across the screen.

So I should see good quality... Tonight I tried my work monitor. I hooked a hdmi to dvi adapter to the monitor, hook the hdmi cable to it, then hook the cable to the mhl adapter, hook the power, then hook to the phone... It worked great, the audio was coming out of the phone which I was expecting to have to bluetooth to my pc to use it for audio as you loose your audio feed when going hdmi to dvi. Videos were looking great, no lag in audio, no skipping or anything. I played youtube videos off dolphin, stock browser and the youtube application with no problem. Played different videos just to make sure it was not the content. Then played some of the movies on my sd card. All great. The only issues I would have is at times I lost all video for several seconds (total back screen) and sometimes when I loose video I would get snow. I rearranged my monitor set up since I use dual monitors at work and wanted to have use the dvi connection on the secondary monitor instead of the first. Then I tried one more time to make sure it was all the same before heading and trying at home... It started failing the same way as at my home. Video will play a frame every 2 or 3 seconds, no audio and sometimes not video at all...
I am going to change this adapter, any of you that is having success care to share who did you bought yours from?
Thanks!
OK, no vodeo for me, checking why not.
Applications, settings, location and security, scrool down to find "Disable USB debugging Mode", make sure it is selected.

Figured it out prolly while u were typing. LOL
Got video and good sound, works with AnyNET+
Im happy for you. Where did you got yours from? I am expecting anoter adapter tomorrow from a different company and it is also supposed to work with anynet+. The seller that sold me this one just returned my money and told me I did not have to return it so I still have it. Pending if the other adapter does the same or not...
Got the new one today, it does work on both of the hdtvs at home with no problems. Anynet does not seems to work on the 20 some inches tv but It does work for my camcorder. At work it didnt work right until I turn off/on the phone, then it stopped working when I tried again after the phone went idle and I switched the monitor to the pc while I was working a trouble. Now it wont work at work even after a reboot. I get that one frame per every2 seconds problem. I am going from a hdmi cable to a dvi connector but it did worked fine before..
Im looking for a way to turn the bluetooth function on my SG3... with my computer?
I cracked my screen the other day and now the display is pooched.
I need to make or receive a call in order for my product replacement deal to work.
If i can get the bluetooth to turn on i can answer a call with my truck stereo.
Any thoughts?
Why oh Why should they make you do this? Put you foot down and bollock them for being stupid. If the screen has broke they should understand.
If they are adamant a couple of solutions.
1. If the display still shows up you could use an OTG cable and plug in a USB Mouse.
2. EDIT- Plug in some headphones to the 3.5mm

Thanks NatTheCat.......
I was so stressed over busting my phone 2 days after i bought it to think of the headphones.. I feel silly now.
Thanks again.
HaHa dont worry mate it slipped over my head when i first commented. Sorry to hear about you phone but glad you got insurance on the baby.. Good Luck
Alright, So how my problem came to be is that i plugged in my phone to a projector through the AUX port. Looking back on it, i must have put in the wrong cable (input instead of output) or that the voltage on the projector used a much higher current than what my phone could handle. At the time, this froze my phone, rendering it useless until I did a battery pull. I thought this was odd but didnt think much of it. After this, when i wanted to listen to some music and noticed that my Beats headphones right side had no audio being emitted. After trying things to fix it i realized it wasn't the headphones that are broken, but the phone itself. I does not output any right side audio to the AUX. I knew at this point it wasn't a software issue, but I tried anyway, so I changed ROMs, music player, settings, everything.
So i accepted that, and did some research online and found a replacement speaker and AUX port for my Galaxy S3. $8, all I got to do is wait for it to arrive. It arrived today, so I instanltly opened up my phone to replace the part. installation was a success, however it did not work (obviously because I'm writing this thread)
So here lays my problem. I believe I blew a fuse/short circited my phone in some area when I hooked it up to the projecter. And this is not just this one phone either. My friends Xperia Pro mini sk17i was also affected by the same projecter. The only difference is that neither sides of his audio work. unfortunatly due to the age of his phone he can't buy a spare part anymore, so he couldnt try and get a new AUX port, although we now believe that it is not the problem.
If you need anymore details I am more than happy to give them to you. Please, I dont want to ship my phone in to Samsung to fix it.
Thanks guys.
Cheers

Hi can anyone help?
When i connect my Galaxy S3 to my car stereo via ordinary 3.5 jack plug, the sound is generally fine but as soon as the cable is moved even slightly, the sound cuts out and is very 'on/off'. The cable has to be left EXACTLY in the same position otherwise the sound output is very unreliable! Ive tried the connections at both ends and these appear fine. Its happened before with older phones but I didn't expect it with a brand new Galaxy S3. Sounds stupid but i wondered if it was the quality of the cable itself. So if its not the connections i can't understand what the problem could be. If anyone can help or needs more information please reply to this post.
Thanks

I have had 3 or 4 cables over only 2 phones but this doesn't seem to have solved the problem. These are the £1.50 or so variety from Amazon. Should I look for something better quality or should these type generally be ok? Like I said im 90% sure its not the connections.
