I'm about to get an atrix 4g and I was wondering if there was an adapter which would allow an hdmi cable to hook into a DVI input? I wanted to use a spare monitor as a webtop display but it doesnt have any HDMI input. Would this adapter still allow the webtop to work? And does anyone know a good, cheap one?
HDMI and DVI use the same video signal, so you can use one of the cheap DVI(male)>HDMI(female) adapters that come with graphics cards and things.
You won't get any audio, though.

I have some pretty nice speakers, will audio still work through the 3.5 audio Jack on the phone?

I use a Startech HDMI (Female) to DVI-D (Male) 24-pin adapter and it works very well with PC monitors.

I have an old HDTV that only has DVI and component in. Anyone know of a cable or converter that might work with the HDMI from the Dock? I won't be getting a new TV until next year some time, but I would like to use my tablet with the dock and bigscreen.

Yeah you can find a DVI-HDMI cable easily. I used one from my PC (DVI) to my 42" (HDMI). You should be fine if you just find a cable like I used (which was nice that it was cheaper for me than an actual HDMI/HDMI cable and then using a DVI/HDMI adapter).

There you go.

Thanks for the replies... I am looking for something that will also push audio from the HDMI. I may need to purchase a converter, but I don't want to pay that much if it won't work. I wish the G tab dock had connections like my old archos dock has. Svideo, component, and composite, no HDMI but I didn't need it at the time with my old device.

Is the audio jack on the tab disabled when using the HDMI out? If not, then you can use a 3.5mm to stereo cable to run the audio.
I'm not aware of anyway to adapt out the HDMI audio to an analog equivalent. HDMI audio is digital, so there would have to be some active conversion going on, which means an expensive adapter.

Not sure if audio is disabled when Dock is used(haven't recieved mine yet, I got in on rebate) was hoping to get a jump on what I would need to use my G Tab with my bigscreen.
I know about Digital to analog issue but I have read that some devices will work with a fairly inexpensive adapter. I may be the guinea pig on this... I have found full converters that start from $150.00+. I guess I will wait and see if anyone has already gone down the road I face.
Thanks.

Or rather than a complete cable, just switch right at the TV set with this:
http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=110&sku=40367
Now that an HDMI cable seem to have successfully built anyone think an RCA out cable is possible?
I have one for my iPhone and find it very convenient when traveling since more hotel TVs will have RCA connectors but no HDMI.
I'm not sure about the technical problems of resolution coming out of the dock connector but...just a thought. Would also be great if it did not need power.
Thanks.
That's not a big problem. Just need a consumer group. Don;t know how many guys interest in it. +1

I believe that HDMI is digital output, RCA jack is analog. Only DVI has digital & analog output.
You would have to get a converter such as this ....

That was one of my concerns. I am really not sure what kind of outputs the dock connector has.
Im in same boat as you.
The dock for the gtab is HDMI output
Where I would actually want to hook my phone/tablet to a tv I need to use a rca composite plug.
You need to buy a hdmi to composite converter and best I can find so far is $50 on ebay for one.

I have a dock but it's a PITA to take with you, need the dock + the power cable.
I have an RCA cable for my iPhone and it works great.
Getting an adapter would not really work well...too expensive.

Is the iphnoe hdmi out?
Both my droid x2 and gtab are hdmi out .
They are digital signals so you need a convert box to turn digital to analog

No, it's not. The cable is direct out of the connectors. I don't think the iPhone can send out HD signals, but not sure about it.
This is not the exact same cable, but it's almost identical:

But with the gtab you need to connect it to the dock in order to hook it up to a tv.
The docks output is a HDMI cable, which is a digital signal. Doesnt mean its HD its just digital. The Rca plugs are for an analog signal. You need to convert the digital to analog and a cable alone wont do it even if its hdmi on one end and rca on the other it wont work.
That cable may work for you on the iphone but this is a different setup

I completely understand that. I am just not sure of what the pin-out on the dock connector puts out. I don't know if there is analog video out also.

Tegra2 doesn't supply analog, so I highly doubt it has analog out.

Hallo, is there any way (custom rom/kernel)
to enable the analog video out from minijack?
maybe the drivers of GalaxyS ported to S2?

No, there is no video output from that port.

? Why do you need MHL + analog adapter? Audio will go out through the MHL to whatever you connect via HDMI. If you're connecting to a monitor that doesn't have output speakers, I think you can plug audio (like headphones) directly into the earphone jack of the phone. You shouldn't need both.
My phone outputs audio just fine to my TV via the MHL adapter. I've tested playing FF3 via SNesoid, and FF7 via FPSe, with video/audio to my TV, using a PS3 controller.

Indeed. You will need what oinkylicious is saying - a Digital to Analog Converter, or DAC. HDMI is a digital signal. VGA/Composite is analog.
MHL, which is the standard used on the phone, is also a digital signal. The official MHL adapter from Samsung is built to go directly to HDMI - digital to digital.
thanks, probably I will just forget the tv-out
I'm not trying to presume, but how do you have a phone that costs at minimum $600, but DON'T have a TV that has an HDMI input? That boggles my mind.
I don't want the phone for my tv, I have the pc connected to it
I wanted the phone as a portable media player when I go to friends
as I did with iphone

How did it happen with an iPhone? You had to have cables/adapters for that, right? Or do your friends have the adapter?
Just about every TV made in the last 3 years or so has an HDMI input, so this issue is just confusing me now.

Hi all,
I'm constructing a heads up display using a pair of MyVu Crystals I have laying around. My problem is that I've only got an iPod connector cable and a standard RCA red, white, and yellow connector. There are HDMI to RCA cables on ebay but in order to use them without a converter, the signal over the HDMI port has to be analog.
Before I buy one, can anyone tell me if the HDMI port on the Photon is capable of outputting such a signal?
Many thanks!

HDMI to RCA cable will not work. I have tried it. I have also tried 3.5mm to RCA. My phone didnt like that and kept pulling up voice command. No display or sound at all on the tv I was trying to use.
Motorola sells an adapter (Motorla VGA Adapter $49.99) for the photon that plugs into the usb port and hdmi port simultaneously and it is says it converts HDMI to VGA to allow connection to projectors and older tv's. VGA is analog and the adapter requires no other power source. Should work if you went: MyVu>Ipod Cable>RCA TO VGA>MOTOROLA VGA ADAPTER>PHOTON.
Brilliant, I'll check that out and post the results later!
Many thanks.
I've also found this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_3029wt_1180
Think that might work? It's a fair bit cheaper than Moto's option. I just wonder about power as presumably that's what the usb port on the moto adaptor is for. On second thought, the Moto adaptor launches webtop which is likely what the USB is for. I'm thinking this HDMI one could work then? All I'm after is mirroring (largely for GPS nav).

Wow, awesome find! Only problem I can see is that you will need an micro hdmi to hdmi for it to fit the photon. You cant plug in the adapter and the access the usb port without muscling it. Might loosen up the sockets and thats no good. This one is better:
cant post link just search micro hdmi male to vga and youll find one same price range
Already has a micro hdmi end , no power supply required either. I am going to purchase this and try it out, I want to mirror my display on my 7 inch car stereo. Torque, netflix & Google navigation is going to look sick. There is no sound from this but you can run 3.5mm jack out.
Good one, didn't think to look for a micro ended one as I've already got an adaptor. I may go that way as well.
I'll make sure to pop a post up with my badass GPS driving microdisplay.
Ok, I ordered mine last night... sucks its coming from Hong Kong but Ill post up a video once I get it installed!
got the adapter.. hooked it up to a vga to rca out cable and plugged into an analog tv and got a flicker every now and then but no picture. Connected it to the Analog input on my LG 55inch LED and I get a scrolling picture in black and white only. Will try a couple different cables, the rca cable on the adapter looks like it might also take a 3.5mm jack also has a svideo out, havent tried to hook up to car yet but will and will report back.

I'm still waiting on the VGA to S-Video/RCA so will report back.
Maybe you've got a problem with an unsupported resolution? RCA can only go up to 640x480 right? Is there any way we can force the mirroring resolution to go lower?
Yes, Mirror resolution.apk and some modding. Look in Hybrid rom thread, there is link for that.
Thanks mate.
I'll give it a go and report back. I got my VGA to RCA converter and like the other poster have no picture. Will report back after using the resolution fix.

I'd like to hook my Rezound up to my 50" 1080p LG TV, play movies, show pictures, YouTube, etc. I know you need an MHL adapter to properly get everything working but I'm confused with some of these adapters and which ones work with the Rezound. I read some phones use different pins(5,11,12,etc) which I have no idea what this is? But I'm guessing you got to buy the correct MHL adapter with the correct pins to work with the Rezound. Could someone please recommend me a quality MHL adapter, I've been looking on Amazon, just so many & I don't understand all the phone/TV terminology.
One more thing...Why do you need an MHL adapter? Why didn't HTC make the Rezound compatible with a just make it possible to use a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable like I was able to use on my DX2? Is the MHL adapter used for better performance?
1) Any MHL Adaptor with a micro-sub plug should work, here's one example - http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=2
2) You'd have to ask HTC why they chose this method over adding a separate HDMI output on our phones.
