Connecting the streak to my flat screen? Can it be done? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Heres what I'm mostly confused about... When playing a video, I have a tab as I'm sure the rest of you do as well, that says HDMI. what does that mean? is there a cable that is sold to where I can hook up my phone to my tv and stream videos?

Go to the Dell website and your question will be answered. A Google search on Streak HDMI, would have gave you the answer, or search on XDA would have told you.

You need a hdmi converter to output hd video to you flat tv or pc screen,that converter is not included when you bought your phone,so you need to pay some extra money to get one.

Does this HDMI, just output the screen? Or is it just video?

Video out ?

Hello,
Has anyone tried to connect x10 with tv? Should it be connected via usb or 3,5mm jack? Maybe there is some some app needed?
THX for answear.
I suggest you read your owners manual, especially the section covering features of the X10.
Hook up a camcorder directly to the tv, and point it at whatever is playing on your x10
LOL very funny but we prefer hd and not recorded crap
You will have to wait for the DLNA support that is coming to the X10.

Of course, you will need a DLNA compliant TV/Receiver... You can probably hook up as an external drive to a USB media player, but I haven't tried it...
Again, of course you'll need all of these to be HD capable in order to get HD...
Now, while the 3.5mm audio jack question seemed a bit silly, chek here: http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/samsung-galaxy-s-video-out-through-audio-port - so I guess, theoretically it is possible...

Actually, there will be set top boxes for DLNA. HTC announce one today. It is something that I believe will work on the XBox 360 as well.
Yes, but HTC has also an hardware chip for DLNA support.
I connected it once using my brother's n900's cable. it only gave me audio on the tv

I don't think so. (for example you don't need to have special hardware chip on PC to make it DLNA compatible player, server or controler)
the video out is different .. there is hardware support needed
does tv out really need hardware support?
i was thinking about capturing screen, and then translate the signal to something you can send over usb (usb to a/v cable) to your tv ... but i lack knowledge in dealing with hardware at programming ...

I'm no expert on the subject, but if DLNA is being released in the 2.1 update (i cant remember if DLNA is this update or the next one) then maybe it would be worth trying with the connected cable after that...

Nope. DLNA is over a network.

When i want to watch stuff i've recorded i just plug my X10 into my PS3 via usb.

[Q] Xperia x10 tv out?

Is there a way to use xperia x10 to display stuff on TV or a projector?
good question
I haven't tried this yet, but my TV has USB connectors. Might be a way to get the TV to recognize the SD card as an external hard drive...that's the only way I can think of doing it. Other then hooking it up to a PC, and then streaming the content to your tv via another device (media device, modded gaming console, pc, etc....) First gen xboxes work great for this
i connected my x10 to the usb from xbox..and it works.it can play videos or see pictures or listen to music.it doesn't play the new 720p videos from xperia
You really need to qualify this question... yes, there are a billion way's to use the Xperia to display stuff on the telly...
I assume what you're really asking is: "is there 'video out' capability on the x10"
The answer is no.
tv out cable

I thought this phone had dnla?
I ws under the impression that the x10 would play nice with other dnla devices (playstation. Certain Blueray players and tv's)

Well yeah, there's supposed to be DLNA on the 2.1 update, but I haven't looked... of course you would need a DLNA compliant receiver of sorts attached to or inside your set...
Like I say, there are billions of ways to get your x10 on the telly (personally I just sit it on top when I'm charging it), but it all depends on how you're trying to do it.

That's only for Satio series.
I tried a 3.5mm to composite RCA cable but no dice.
Ultimately the best option would be HDMI to microUSB like a few other phones have.
I wonder how hard it would be for someone to add support for that... I guess it depends on whether it is a hardware or software limitation... I'm tempted to start a thread about it!

It's software limitation, there cannot really be a hardware limitation in the phone itself, all we need is a compatible microusb connecting lead, but there is no feature in the x10 software that allows video-out.
Maybe a third-party app?

im trying it right now but so far its laggy as hell
my upload speed is at .6 mb on a speed test i just did on my phone
not sure if that s the reason...maybe my router is messed up

If you have a samsung tv or a smartv it the tv itself might support certain apps that will work. Samsung has Swipe, and Allshare. Other tv's might support Allshare as well.
It doesn't sound like you have one though so I don't have a better solution for you
I just bought a smart TV and would love to use my phone wirelessly to my TV not just for streaming but for games and web surfing as well.
have not played with my new TV to much should there be some sort of app/store that i need to access on my TV to get these.

Older HDMI TV won't support android resolution

Anyway to fix this without buying a new TV I've seen HDMI to component converter boxes as my only way out..
Is their an app or anything to help me
I've contacted Mitsubishi on this and of course they want me to buy a new TV but I don't have the money to do so.. they said the TV you currently own will not work on those resolutions but my pc will.. do it np.

[Q] Android Connect to Apple TV

So I have a couple of friends who are real apple fan boys and yesterday they kept on braggin while sending photos and videos from their phones over to their TV using Apple TV.
Do we have a hack/mod/app that would allow me to make my Android Device connect to it and toss pictures up on the screen? I wanted to do the of Android Peeing on the Apple.
Thanks guys!
Buy one of these
Edit: I think doubleTwist will let you connect to an Apple TV. Just download that.
You can try AppleTV Media from the Play store, its the best way to control and share content with your AppleTV from an Android device. I have 2 AppleTV's at home and it works flawlessly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS56YXBwb3R2YXBwbGUiXQ..
Definitely worth a try.
Using media share u can use DLNA compatible devices, I've used my ps3. Works well but I prefer hdmi as the quality is better. Hookup ur phone via hdmi and get 1080p and 5.1 audio if ur videos are encoded with it...ask if their iCrap can do that.
Also love hooking up via hdmi and using my ps3 controller for games, especially onlive. Do that and ur apple friends will be selling their junk on eBay.

Please tell me what rom and the steps you followed to get the evolte to play nice with the sixaxis controller. I have been going crazy for 3 days trying to get this bastard to work! Please PM me or something, It will be very appreciated :laugh:
Haha! Thank you guys!
If you do this, have another device taking video of the footage of your friends' reaction to the android peeing on apple footage on their nice little AppleTV. Optional: wash, rinse, repeat for android awesomeness inception.
