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.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=45332&cat=5155
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.
Any updates on this?i have a fascinate from telus and the head phone jack works but you see it very distord and scrambled..think it is software??

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!

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.

Need some type of earphones that have a over the ear holder
I have some Airdrives earphones that I use with my iPhone but for some reason when I plug in a usb to 3.5 adapter into G1 I can hear fine but the mic on the headset doesnt work (person on other line cant hear me). The earphones that came with G1 wont stay in my ears. Have you ever seen a HTC compatible USB connector type stereo headphones that have some type of a over the ear holder and a mic for phone calls?
I use the HTC wired remote control and a set of Bang & Olufsen headphones. This arrangment works very well...

headphones and charger at the same time
hi because the batt so bad on these phones i was thinking of adding a plug or jack to charge and use the headphones at the same time. i am looking at fitting 2 plugs where the usb slot is. but that would mean changing the plug on the charger. or fitting an extra plug some where in the phone for the headphones. anyone got any ideas before i start hacking the thing to bits

My WING came with one, my G1 did not, are you sure yours had a CHARGER adaptor?? This looks good and sells on eBay for $5.50 total. Search for : HTC Touch Pro Diamond mini USB, 3.5mm Audio Adapter
Shouldn't HTC just put this $5.50 adaptor in the phone? Unbelievable!
Combine with with a carcharger and last.fm & streamfurious on your phone and VOILA you have SIRIUSXM except with thousands of channels as long as you are within cellphone Edge/3G service.
For a headphone only option (not recommended as you drain your battery so fast its not even funny) you can try this one for 45 cents SHIPPED:
Search for: 3.5mm USB Audio Adapter for HTC Touch Diamond PPC-6800 on eBay and the seller is gpslot
Go it Ultimate Ears!
Is the 3.5mm headphone adapter an original HTC one?
RC E100 for the G1?
Hihi, I recently bought the HTC RC E100 (http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=137320). On that site it says that G1 works with it. But it doesn't? I tried it, and sound still comes out of the speakers.
Now it said that I need a driver from the disc or from the HTC site. I tried to install that, but it says that the phone is already updated and needn't update anymore.
Does anyone else have this headset, and have it working on their G1's? Thanks!
edit: Well upon researching, apparently it doesn't work. Stupid misleading site is misleading.
There was a set of headphones that came with the G1, you should see if you can get those or see if tmobile will give you some for free if they didnt come with yours.
I was almost tempted to purchase these or get the doopad ones(rc-w100) off amazon for a little cheaper. I was wondering if the g1 will even be able to have this function through the ext.usb? I know the drivers for winmo phones won't work but is there even the slightest bit of possibilities?
I know A2DP is comming for bluetooth but is there going to be an AVRCP profile also?
Apple In-Ear Headphones on Dream G1
Anyone had a chance to try it out?
I can't seem to find a single post anywhere talking about what the music quality is like or whether any advanced features like volume control work or whether calls work using the microphone.
Side story: I went into the Apple store to try it out and the store nazi said I could not try them on due to hygiene reasons. Fair enough, but he then even declined taking them out of the packaging so that I could just handle them and talk into it on a call to see if it worked. So instead I handled the box instead, ShopSavvy scanned it and then accidentally dropped it onto the somewhat dirty floor. Oops.
So I just purchased this handy little adapter which takes the USB port on the bottom of the G1 and turns it into a USB Mini jack and a 3.5 MM headphone jack. Why go to all this trouble? So I can charge AND play music at the same time
I bought this little piece of wonder off of Amazon for $6 including shipping, and it arrived in 3 business days. I'm really glad I bought it! Here's the review I posted on Amazon:
This is truly a neat little device. I often want to play music in my room over my T-Mobile G1, and it's a battle of charge versus play. I have to make sure that if I do play music, I'll have time afterwords to charge back up. Not the case anymore! I'm able to play music and charge my phone at the same time.
The adapter is very compact for what it does; it looks much bigger in the pictures than it actually is. It's about the size of a quarter, and a little longer width-wise. Sound quality is great; compared to the stock adapter that comes with the G1, I found that bass frequencies are carried much more better and with a little more "oompf". I found a lot more power for my system, and it works great.
The build quality is what you would expect; plastic build with very solid adapter ports. I don't expect it to break at all. The phone charges at the same rate of speed as normal, even with playing music. The port that plugs into the phone is the proprietary port that the G1 has, and the "out" USB port is your typical mini-USB port.
Overall, it's a great product, and a must have for all G1 users!

I definitely would recommend this to just about everyone, and wanted to know what everyone else's experience is with this product!
i just ordered this...i was tired of having to take out my headphones when i wanna charge my phone
I have the 3 in one charger but what i really need is something just like this but i need to have each port n an opposite side. Why you ask?
I have a Moto p790 charger and i would like to be able to have that plugged in while i have my headphones in. now that would be useful.
kind of like this one but smaller.

Did you try switching earbuds? Haha sounds simple...but I have this really bad luck with audio devices, that eventually everyone I have I break the soldering points that connect the jack to the circuit board, and I always loose an ear of sound. It's just odd...but that could be it as well.

I bought this and it works with every rom I've tried. Cyanogen, JAC, JF.
I also needed an extension so I could hard wire my charger and line in behind my car dash with only one lead showing and the HTC adaptor has about an inch of cable between the EXTUSB and the adaptor itself. I hunted high and low but could only find one company who could do it and it were these guys.

I want one of these but it's much too thick for what I wanted it for (I only want music), Isn't there one that has only mini USB to 3.5 mm? I thought I had seen one a while ago.
I got one made by HTC when I got my Wing a couple years ago. It works great on my G1 and my MT. It is super handy to have it you listen to a lot of music
got a link where I could get one?
def. getting this tonight
Tried this on a friends G1 (stock T-mobile firmware lastest updates) and it does not come up with a headset icon like it does on my touchdiamond2. Does this mean it does not work or is the headset icon just for when you have a microphone attached?
i've noticed on the HTC one that the 3.5mm headset jack doesnt work. you need to use the adapter cable that came with the phone and plug it into the headphone port on the htc adapter.

microphone?
When using this on a G1, if you plug a headset with microphone into the 3.5mm jack, does the microphone work on calls? I've read mixed reviews about this on Amazon and wondering if anyone has had experiences? Thanks,
I just got an HTC YC A300 today and it's working brilliantly!

Hey. I was wondering how the TV out works on the Vibrant. My last phone was a ipohne 3g and I used a programs called TV out to connect it to my car audio system. With that setup I was able to watch Slingplayer through the car audio display. When I check the TV out box on the Vibrant, I don't get video (just audio). I was told that video can be achieved through the 3.5mm headphone jack. I don't see how this is possible and I don't believe the mini usb is capable of audio/video. Can someone confirm this? Is there a way to utilize the slingplayer the same way as I did with the iphone?
Thanks in advance,

You have to switch red with yellow or some sh¡t like that

I recently received my 3.5mm to rca plug from amazon for about $3 shipping included. Do you have the specific plug? I'm assuming you do since you said you used to do it with your iphone. Connect only 2 of the 3 rca plugs to the tv. Connect the white male plug for audio to the white female port and then connect the red male plug to the yellow female port for video (YES, YOU HEARD RIGHT. FOR SOME REASON THE RED MALE PLUG WORKS AS VIDEO INSTEAD OF AUDIO). Make sure your tv's input is set to VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 etc. Then make sure to check the tv out check box.

The Vibrant's pretty picky about the cables. The correct cable is a standard Red/White/Yellow composite cable, but the wiring is non-standard, so you may have to switch the red and yellow connectors. Also, make sure the plug is plugged ALL THE WAY into the 3.5mm jack on the phone - it's easy to leave out one click. Even still, I've run into a couple cables that would not work no matter what I did (I think this is a grounding issue.)
I recommend the $3 cable from amazon. Took about 3 days for me to receive the cable. The cable was located in New Jersey and I live in Maryland.

Hey Scott,
Hope all is well with you - I too have a Vibrant - did you get the cabling figured out? What worked. Look forward to your reply. Thanks in advance - cheers
im going to go out on a limb here and say most people still use tvs with RCA (red yellow white), over HDMI.. my galaxy s1, i can plug in my cord to the red yellow blue in the back of my tv, and into my headphone jack and play movies on my tv.. the galaxy s2 seems to be missing this feature.. is it there somewhere, or is it really gone?! why would they get rid of it.. is it because they added MHL? (something great, but something many wont be able to take advantage of)? i mean its not hurting anything by leaving it there.. it used to be in Settings>Display> TV Out ..why couldnt they just leave both.. they did that everywhere in the phone.. added picture editor and removed adjusting picture in the camera, added video editor and removed ability to pause video while recording.. wtf samsung... ihy
I agree, I wish they had kept both, but I guess it would have required more space and had to go for design reasons.
I disagree. If you can afford a £500 phone I don't think it's unreasonable for Samsung to assume you have a television with HDMI. After all, every TV made in the last 10 years supports the standard. I don't even have anything that outputs over composite cables any more.
For the rest of us, this is a step forward.
I agree with above post. RCA over my 55inch TV would look like crap.

A better question in that case may be, why launch your flagship device without the cables to enable all the functionality you have advertised.
If you're on a 12 month contract, that feature is obviously not available to you for at least 1/12th of your term.......

Disagree.
Sure, I have an HD television, but I live in NZ and many others don't, so it would be nice to have the option because it offers versatility. Just because your use doesn't need it, doesn't mean that is true for others. Since when does moving forward with HDMI out connections neccessitate the removal of other options? The original GS Tab has both, and since SD Out shares an existing connector its a shame that the legacy connection option isn't available here. I suspect it simply wasn't possible to shoehorn it into the small shell on offer here, but that doesn't mean I can't be disappointed its not present, does it?
Its also far cheaper to get a TV Out cable for the 3.5mm jack, and its available now.
The output doesn't actually look too bad either - check out my youtube channel for some video examples of SGSI SD TV Out.
You can't really expect manufacturers to support all old standards forever. Eventually they just have to be dropped...
You can always use HDMI-to-component converters or something similar.
The official Samsung HDMI adapter doesn't look to be out for quite a while yet but there's one by BizLite over at Mobile Fun that should be in over the next fortnight (website says 9-14 days)
Cheaper than the official one too. Agreed that it's quite annoying having no TV-out on the 3.5mm jack!
rca adapter is nice because then we can hook it up in our cars.. but i guess you guys might not have screens in your car then =/

Or might that good units have hdmi input anyway, so that's not such a big issue.
Hi there.
I just had my SGS stolen and need to buy another phone. What I liked about the SGS was the ability to connect it to a tv with a simple jack -> RCA cable. I work at lot in places where the TVs does not have HDMI inputs etc. so RCA becomes very handy.
However, it seems to me that no never android phones have the jack to RCA options. Is it just me who can not find it, or are they there. I would appreciate it if it had at least 4" display and a decent processor.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Nobody has an answer or am i in wrong forum?
Are you sure you mean RCA?
I might be mistaken but I thought if anything the phones would use s-vid or HDMI as you say?
Yep, I mean RCA. It is a cable with a special jack in one end that goes into the normal audio out. In the other end are the RCA connectors as seen here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector
The beauty is that one does not need fancy tvs with hdmi or s-vid, which most do not have in Africa where I travel... lucky if there is a tv in the room.
my old phone was a nokia 5800 i am curious to see if the CA-75U cable will work with my samsung galaxy W but am a bit dubious incase i kill it, that maybe the answer to what your after if it does work.

I do not know about the Galaxy W, but I know it works with the Galaxy S (although I seem to remember that it dit not work for the US version) as I used it.
