Silly question #1: You know that the cable colors are reversed? Yellow and red need to be switched around.
If you've got that covered, then check to make sure that the cable you're using is compatible. Did it work with other builds/roms?
I had the same issue with a cable that 'should' have worked. I bought a new one (made the dude at radioshack test it before i bought it) and everything is gravy now.
Good luck

Huh. No ****? Switch the cables. Ill try now. I just got the cable in the mail. Ill take the punishment if I can get the thing to work!

Damn.
I was hoping that it would be that simple. The only other thing that I can think is that the cable isn't compatible. I wish that I could tell you what made for a compatible cable, but I guess I just got lucky.
There are some listed on Amazon.com specifically for the SGS phones.
Hmmmmm...
More research is needed. I will look into it.
EDIT: It may be a problem with Bionix-v. I can't remember if I upgraded to 1.2.1 before I bought the cable. I know that I had the problem too with 1.2. The part that sucks is that 1.2.1 is a full-wipe ROM. Only if you're sure...

Yeah I figured a 3.5 with 3 RCA would be good but I guess not. ****. Boo!

I bought a cable on amazon made for iPod video, was only a few bucks and I don't even have to switch the colors. a little over $3.00 including shipping.

can you post a link of the converters or cables u used? i got an extra rca input on my screen and i like your idea. think i may just do a HDMI hack, and run an hdmi and chargin cable to tuck my phone away. try to save on some cash, plus with some of the bumps and stuff i hit with my truck, the phone may pop out of the dock lol
im just dreaming, but the touch screen part doesnt work, just acts like a display, correct? not too long from now they will probably start making decks/screens with phone hookups, that will be the day i can sleep in peace lol

Tv out, how does it work?

Just as the post says how does it work, I have the feature on my Rom and I went to Best Buy and bought their $50 dollar cable but I got nothing on my TV's. I think I got audio once but no picture so other than plugging the cable into the phone and into the tv and turning it to the right input what else us there because I did all of that?

Ya you do need to connect the wall charger, but for some reason does anyone know why it doesn't actually charge my phone? While using it my power drains very slowly.
The mhl adapter and phone is being charged at the same time. It's a weak charge to begin with when you aren't displaying anything. Just have to deal with it.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I knew this was going to happen, I am not talking about mhl's, I know how that works. I'm talking about the function where you can use the headphone port to use a RCA type cable to play or send images and or videos to your tv.
Does any one know how this function works?

I guess you guys haven't been in the Dev forums to see that this feature is supposedly baked into some if themes Roms, check it out yourself..... Then please get back to me.

I'm pretty sure that even though the ROM you're on may support it that this phone isn't capable of it. I've never heard of anyone getting that to work. Let us know if you do figure it out though. I just don't think that the headphone jack can output video. It only does audio. I believe its a hardware limitation.

Olympus trinity 3D beatless has it and I asked how it works but have not gotten an answer.

You know that some roms are ported from other phones. Some settings will make its way over. There might be a setting for this, but from what I have been told is that the hardware will never support it.

This. What i do also is turn my screen brightness all the way down and it helps greatly to last longer while doing hdmi stuff

EVO 3D does not do this. Some put it into ROMs and said it worked, but no one has actually done it. This is hardware limitation. Anyway, use MHL it'll do HD and Dolby.
hi the first think sorry for my english
i saw in ebay .. the micro usb converter to hdmi its work for samsug galaxy s2 ... htc evo 3d... htc sensation ... its a small converter from the micro usb to hdmi .... i payed one in ebay ... and im waiting for that ... if that work i will write again here

Evo 3d uses mhl. I didnt think hdmi would work...

All the micro usb to HDMI i saw after a quick search were indeed MHL adapters. If you get a MHL, one end is male micro usb plug and the other is male HDMI plug.

HDMI Adapter for sgs2

Hey guys I bought the authentic Samsung MHL (HDMI) adapter for my phone and when I plug it in nothing happens. When I connect it to the tv, nothing. I am on Unnamed 2.1
Any suggestions on settings or apps or is it the rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Do you have a power cable connected to the adapter? It requires a power source to work.
Sent from Tapatalk using my Samsung GT-I9100
Let us know. I bought a menotek and it wont hold a connection. I had to get up 2x each movie just to push on the cable. I need to know if the Samsung does the same. If so, this whole feature is worthless.
Check the other thread on here started by bw31 something i wrote a lot on this subject. I'm running unnamed 2.2.1 works perfectly

You're not an idiot, you just didn't read the directions. I would have done the same thing if I hadn't already read through these threads, considering I never read the directions.

Using the Note as a Computer

I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

Is there a way to make the Motorola Lapdock to work with the Note or something similar?
I was hoping to put Ubuntu on my phone and be able to mirror that to the screen.
Any suggestions?

Can you get any of the commands to work from the keyboard like the Nexus? I'm not having much luck there. Might be a gingerbread thing.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

No problem. Like I said, Its not the first time its been done but I thought I would share and see if anyone had any different experiences than I did.
The Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard/android 3.0+ works nice with the Note.
It even has 3 special keys to enable the menu, home and search buttons.

At work need help I drive so no hell needed tried to search mobile feature sucks.

So I noticed that my phone is not charging while plugged into the USB in my car. Tried using mobile search which is useless. Also noticed if I wiggle the port it sometimes grabs the charge. Just need to know if I have to put back to stock and turn in for warranty. Kinda live off my phone, I drive for a living so I need it working right.

Does your charger work in a wall socket? If it has the same problems, it's the charger. Try buying a new one to see if it works like that. But I can't think of anything on the spot while you're driving.
Also, you shouldn't be using you're phone while driving. D:

Wiggle the port on the car side? Bad car charger/cable.
Wiggle the port on the phone side, bad USB port/cable.
How clean is the socket in your car? Often times they are located in ash trays or near cup holders and get filled with spooge, try cleaning the female part of the car charger and see if you get a more consistent charge? Since your not complaining about not being able to charge at home, your USB socket I assume is fine, I'd bet it's either the cable or the cars receptacle (either dirty or faulty)

Thx for the help I think its the port on the phone . Seems like I'll be having a fun day at the phone store lol btw I drive limos so plenty of down time just no terminal to be had

Even the full site's search function isn't exactly user friendly. It's very powerful, but you have to already know how to use it.
