Video out via usb? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyway to get this working now that we have GB?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App

Don't really know much about it but I have tried connecting my phone using the usb to my Xbox 360 and LG lcd tv when I was on 2.1.. they recognized the sd card and I was able to watch videos and pictures on both..

Now that I have Netflix it would be nice to have it play on a bigger screen, a lot of phones have this option apparently, GB allows it.

Check the android central forums. I think I saw a good tut for using handbrake. Great and simple app.
OMG! I have an Atrix! [XDA app]
Yup...I second SLYSOFT !!! Movies show absolutely perfectly at 720p with 30fps!!!
Handbrake didn't work for me, not sure why. Try slysoft first.

CloneDVD mobile is the program used to "shrink-wrap" your dvd's to be able to view on a mobile device. There are many options in the program for all sorts of pda's.
I use general divx, 720p, 30fps. I also use mVideoPlayer to watch. Its a free market download, and its way better than the default video viewer in the phone.
DVDFab + Megui = encode anything you want for any device you want. Just my $0.02

How to watch DVD's over HDMI using our atrix?
How we can watch DVD's over HDMI using our atrix?
Watch DVD's with subtitles!
One way, maybe is using an app in mobile, like Mobo Player, and use HDMI Mirroing.
But the quality will be good?
and .mkv files cant play on our device?
Other way thinking, using webtop mode..
but we need full ubuntu.. with vlc but sound reported not in good quality..
Anyother way/ideas?

TV out on cm7

Hey guys I recently got a 32 inch flat screen which has an HDMI so I wanted to see photos and videos on my phone on there but I don't believe much has happened with TV out has it

If you have a ps3 hooked up to said tv and its (the ps3) on your home network you can download imediashare from the market and it will allow you to use your ps3's media server to display any photos and some movies that are on your phone wirelessly through your network. I believe an app named allshare will also work, this may also work if you have an xbox instead...I'm not positive b/c I dont own one but I believe they have media servers on them also, or if your tv has internet access and us hooked up to your local network, in that case it will work as well. But for me when I want to see pics on the big screen...i turn on tv, turn on ps3 click a few buttons and viola! Pics on the tv! I know its not the same as the tv out mod but either way if you have all those components whats the worst that happens...you download an app...dont like it and delete...no harm, no foul! Hope this helps!

Not a ps3 my TV has a USB spot and when I try to display what's on my phone it wont show
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I believe what you are looking for requires taking a couple different cables and modifying them to work...a far as I know the original usb cable that come with your phone does not have the pin out required to transmit video directly via usb. I remember reading something about the tv out mod a while back but I dont remember if they had any luck with it working...search the forum...i believe it was titled "tv out mod" our something like that but its not going to be as simple as plugging in your usb cable into the tv and having it pop up on the screen...i wish I had more info for ya but hopefully someone will chime in with some relevant info for ya.

It sounds like you're trying to get your TV to read your phone as a mass storage device. Kinda like a flash drive, but I don't know if your TV could detect the phone like that. Try plugging in the USB cable between the phone and TV, then turning on the 'mass storage' mode on your phone.

If you want to control YOUR tv you can use slingplayer mobile? it's a 30$ app but im sure you could find it elsewhere I personally have not used it yet, but I know a few who have and they say it works great.

I tried Mera but didnt work on my phone btw really I am not interesed in Indyan channels...I would like spanish channels obviously, but Im content with english xD So I look for it

[Q] Dock with external HD

Is it possible to use an external hard drive with this? Was thinking it would be a great to dump photos, etc to more quickly than using WiFi or MTP.
If so, what do you have to do, and do you need ext3/4 file system?
Thanks!
Super
*subscribed*
I'd like to know this also. I have a 1T external with all my media on it that would be very useful in long road trips or overnight stays for the kids.
Haven't done so with the 201 but an NTFS drive connected to the USB port on the 101 dock worked well. No reason to think it wouldn't do the same with the prime.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Oh hell yes!
I have the dock and I have the 1T external hd. I have done what you've asked about and it makes it so much easier than running it through the laptop or a pc. Just plug it in and copy/paste.
I mean, unless I don't understand what you are asking.....you don't need to do anything. the tablet is recognized as a drive, the external is recognized as another drive. I also have and micro sd drive inserted so when I went to File Explorer I just copied and pasted. Books and movies mostly. Most of my photos live in a cloud, so does my music. Of course I'll make some of that avl' offline.
Ok, how did you get it to recognize it?
I have a 1 TB Western Digital USB drive and it powered up, but it didn't do anything. I went into storage and it it didn't see it.
Have you tried using it on a "main" computer and access it via Samba, or hooked up to your router as NAS?
Sent from my HTC Inspire "4G" using XDA Premium App
Nevermind. I see that it just works. It didn't come up the first time, but reattaching worked.
It's mounted under /Removable/USBdisk1, next to the MicroSD card.
Works like a charm... Plug in the disk and you can manipulate the files and folders with just about any File Manager on your Prime. I actually like the Asus file manager quite a bit, though use ES Explorer also. I only have Windows file systems on my Usb Hard Drives, so NTFS and FAT32 will be just fine. I've never timed it, but I would guess that copying a GB takes a minute, plus or minus.

Ok, I'm curious.
I've seen this in kernels for phones where CIFS support is included, and I'm guessing you're alluding to that here as well. How do you actually use that with an Android device?

I have ReadyNAS, and can view into it at any time with my phone. I figured that there would me some version of "Connected Media" app for this device. Maybe there is something available on the market that can stream media?
I know with the stock HTC music app, I can listen to music streamed from my NAS.

um, have you looked at MyNet ? I don't have a NAS and I may be off base, but I think that app looks at everything on the network. I think (?)
So those are Windows apps?

Mod suggestion: picture in picture

I was messing around with my buddy galaxy s3 and I noticed they can do this picture in picture kind of thing where they can minimize the video and still use other functions on their phone. I was wondering if anyone can implement this mod in their room or even make it available for the EVO.

? you mean minimize a playing video and have it still play in the background? or be recording a video and then minimize while recording to do something else? im not quite sure what you are trying to get at here haha think you can find an example somewhere?
Watching video and minimize it
Sent from the euphoric state of my mind
or maybe he means this? i can do this with my computer monitor but it requires 2 different sources for video. so i can have my computer video full screen (via a dvi connection) but then have lets say a xbox playing in a small corner at the top through a different cable such as hdmi. looks something like this

just follow the link i posted on the from the market and you'll find the app that will let you do the video minimizing option...you can watch a video while texting or even browsing on the internet

No I believe he is talking about the "Pop-up Play" feature that the GS III introduced that lets you play a video, minimize it to do other stuff like text and browse while the video is still playing in a smaller "picture-in-picture" window like seen here. luisrod03 was also correct. Here is another app that let's you do the same thing but it isn't free like luisrod03's link.
Yes the app let me do what I was trying to do... I wanted to view a video while texting and doing things on the phone... Also when u tap on it it will go back to full screen but I do like that super app though
