[Q] Does TV Out work via 3.5mm jack? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does TV Out work via the headphone jack like it did on the galaxy S?
Samsung are usually quite good with these things, my samsung jet could do
it and even my D600 from a good few years ago had the feature. I have a funny
feeling its going to be HDMI or DLNA only. Not complaining, just wondering.
Thanks. getting one at lucnch time today, pretty excited!

Nope, it doesn't. Quick tip - searching the forums would have revealed about 6 threads where this was answered already.

I did a search for tv out in the whole of the galaxy s2
Forum. Try it yourself, no results thats why I posted a thread.
I couldn't find the answer on google or any of the youtube
Videos.
Does seeing a new thread upset you?

Sorry if I came across that way, I thought the fact that I answered the question, rather than just referring you to search, might have been a tip off that my intentions were friendly.
Seeing a new thread doesn't specifically upset me, its just that a proliferation of redundant threads makes the forum less useful to everyone.
I don't need to try your search - both the words you searched are under four letters, so of course the forum will find no matches. If you try 3.5mm in the whole Galaxy S2 forum section there are several matches.
Alternately, if you really can't think of alternate search terms longer than 3 letters, you can search Google I tried this - Galaxy s2 3.5mm tv out site:xda-developers.com - and got the matches I needed straight up.

thanks for your help. And yea I didn't mean to come across rude
Either. Your info will help to make me a more efficient searcher
Take care.

[Q] XDA "Search" Dropdown Button....Gone/removed?

I am currently logged in to XDA and have tried all of the different forum view options but I still don't see the "search" button anymore? Where did it go? Tried on multiple broswers too. Does anyone know how long ago it was removed? How do we search the forums now? I checked the Advanced search button on the top and got "Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." Not sure if that applys to all search functions.
just noticed it missing myself
Ya, i've talked to a few people and I guess its down.
Yup. Only the universal search is working. Thread search is not there.
No great loss . . .

Um.... actually I think its a huge loss. Hopefully they get that back up and running again.
I came to the Q&A thread to ask this very thing.
Yeah, it is hugely important. How can people get flamed for not doing a search before asking a dumb question?

It was completely useless. Most successful searches are from Google.

Ditto, came here wondering why I couldn't find it. There's several huge treads I follow & I frequently find myself searching for some key piece of info I read previously (not to mention flaming the morons who are too lazy to read & think the rest of us are here to serve them).

Now that's an Irony!!!! Having to use Search, to find out the thread Search tool is gone!!
Google is Great, but very rarely do you find a specific XDA ROM answer on the first few looks or searches.
XDA thread search is a must have, to anyone who follows large threads and cant be glued to watching the computer all day long. It beats reading a 100 pages of posts where people keep asking the same questions, over and over again, instead of easily searching the thread, only to find their answer was 3 posts back!! You have permission to use my torch!! Keep Flaming!!
You can still use Google, like this.
Example search site:xda-developers.com/threadNumber
Works?

[Q] TV Tuners

Ive just ordered a smart dock for my S3 so that I can use it with my TV, wireless air mouse, hard drive and wireless xbox controller.
Now the final thing I want to do is run XBMC for PVR software, but cannot find a definitive answer about a tuner that will work with my S3.
Im a new user so I cant link to the one I have but its ebay item number 200828623654. Its made for an android powered smart box but will it work with the s3 aswell.
Or does anyone know of any that will work.
Cheers
Rich
Have I done something wrong in my post or is it just that nobody knows the answer?
All I can find through loads of google searches are a couple of expensive tuners that only work with their own inbuilt mini aerials and others that will connect to an outdoor aerial via a coax cable but they are made for specific android smart tv boxes.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

Im happy if a mod thinks its appropriate to be moved to accessories.
I am aware it is a developers forum and I was at no point demanding anyone "f***g fix my phone". The use of TV tuners with the Galaxy S3 would be a development of the phone as it is not something that it was initially designed to do and would allow people to make better use of their devices.
I was just making sure that I had not done anything wrong in the way I had posted my question and to make it clear that I had searched around for an answer already for a couple of days myself as I know people get annoyed when noobs post questions without bothering to look for themselves.
Thanks

How do I look up what "rev" version I have?

Hi there,
My S2 have not been working properly. It won't charge at all. It goes from charging to not charging all the time, so I'm guessing the port is bad. I've decided to change the flex cable which includes a new charging port.
But... There is a couple of different flex cables out there. All for Galaxy S2, but some for "rev 2.2" and some for rev "2.3" etc. So.. my question is:
How do I found out what "rev" my phone is?
Thanks in advance
This has been covered a few times recently. Go thru KeithRoss39's posts, he's the resident expert on this particular matter.

What does "rev" stand for? Searching for "rev" didn't gave me the answers I wanted when using the search box. It doesn't hurt to get it covered again.. It's a forum..
I gave you the means to answer your questions. He has specifically spoken about this in detail (which rev belongs to which SGS2 variant, etc) several times over the past two weeks. He is not a heavy poster here. There aren't many threads you'd need to look at. I'm not about to do that searching for you and/or regurgitate this stuff when it's been done so many times before because you're too lazy to take a brief amount of time to find the answer.
'It doesn't hurt to get it covered again' - Yes it is a forum, and it's a forum where we encourage people to help themselves & learn, we point people in the direction of what they're wanting to know, and we encourage them to go learn it.
I'm putting you on ignore, because I'm just not interested in your response to this post given the tone of your last one & your obvious sense of entitlement, so knock yourself out abusing me in your reply to this, I don't care & won't be reading it.
All you do is look at the fffffffin rev number on your one and order that.
And this is a forum....so dont be a sanctimonious mouthy noob.
Rev:
Revolution
Revision
Reverend
Reverse
Maybe its no.3,who knows or cares.

Honestly, if you're lost navigating a website, take it very slow customizing your phone. Its a lot harder than clicking links with a mouse, and a mistake will be VERY costly.
Don't rush in. Just be a lurker and a reader for a while, at least until you can find your way around and know some basic stuff. Good luck.
I have always found The Unlockr to have very simple and precise instructions. I am also a very visual person so I use YouTube a lot.
Anyway, take your time, root and enjoy and welcome to the asylum!

Im not dumb. I know about rooting a phone installing ROM. overclocking etc.. even if Im not the one who does it.. my stepdad doess, all he told me to do was find a good ROM I like... Its just hard finding my way around here because ill find certain threads; however,they only have few replies, or the thread is discontinued or something and I got a little lost.

WOW, "most thread only have a few replies?" ................REALLY?
I think you are looking n the wrong section. as suggested, "Super Everything Thread". you could also look in the Development section. there are threads where I have 100+ posts myself.
I am sure you are not dumb, but you are coming across a little on the lazy side. sounds like you want everyone else to do the work here. you originally posted 3 days ago and haven't found anything yet
common rules here...........

Root for S9+ US Snapdragon SM-G965U

Has anyone come up with any possible rooting methods?
No, there is a search function for a reason. Also, CAN PEOPLE STOP TITLING THEIR THREADS WITH TITLES LIKE THIS. FOR GODS SAKE MAN AT LEAS PUT A QUESTION MARK T_T.
There is no root for USA Based phones. You will never see any viable root. Enjoy your phone as is, it's amazing!

Thank you for being the first one to ask this, I was kinda hesitant to ask myself cause the searches came to no avail
What phrase are you using when you search? This question has been asked and answered many times

Searching for the word "root" (without quotes) in this topic yields all threads with the word root in them. Despite that if you glance at the titles you will find on page 1 a thread that asks the question (and has an answer). Page 2 shows 3 results.. Pages beyond 3 show other results.
So the search works but only as far as when people actually look (and take the time to read) for answers. Search results are also more effective when people use proper thread titles. I will admit the latter makes searches a lil more cumbersome because some people need to learn how (or have simply failed) to properly name the threads they make.
To help with the search results here's the ones I found on page 1 and page 2:

Wow, so nice to see no one gets satire that they go out of their way to prove themselves.
Look, I know there isn't root, I was just pointing out that threads like these are a dime a dozen. Facepalm
I'm just saying that on top of a search function there are about 10 threads about root for our phones; not being able to, question of whether or not it's possible, and a kind of waiting/official thread about root for our phones. It's not satire I was just telling him to read through the forum to search for the answer to his question instead of making yet another "is there root" thread. People just want a quick answer instead of reading. I don't see what him posting proof has to do with it, just seems like an extension of the banter. I'm not dogging on him or you, so don't take it to heart.
Also you can search by thread title if you select advanced under search options.

I was going to say the same thing. I have seeing these and finding out it is a question
This is the exact reason I didn't want to purchase this device. All I want is V4A.
Oh well, this device is amazing!
Well as of right this second there is not.. but to all who say there will never be for the U.S. model, i emphatically direct you to the Galaxy Note 9 threads where there is a serious developer Elliwigy has successfully rooted the U.S Note 9 using the exact same qualcomm chipset. And he states that his method has been tested by several developers on other samsung devices ... so to answer your question Yes root is possible.. but currently not stable nor is there a fool proof path to success. But Elliwigy has broken the ground necessary for a possible future root.
Link to an article on this:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-proof-of-concept-root/amp/
Link to thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...s-recoveries--other-development/root-t3927413
Interesting to see a method to install root was found with the factory binary (not the same as what we are using right now). It may lead into a root method if someone can find a way to make the proof of concept possible on the binaries we are normally using..
Worth keeping tabs on, I got the link bookmarked to keep watch on it. Who knows someone might find a way to crack this golden egg
