Making a home-made a tv out cable for the vibrant? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like hacking and cutting and fixing and things like that so I was wondering is it anywhere remotely possible to make a home made tv out cable for cheap that works with either the headphone jack or usb port (to charge at the same time or not) the tmobile vibrant? If It makes a difference I use cm7 and stock respectively. Right now I am using stock for its camera app but id really like to use my phone with the tv but I dont trust buying things online and I cant find any in stores. Again any and all help is welcomed and greatly appreciated. I hope this is possible

[Q] Lap dock

Who all uses this? Thinking about picking one up. Is it worth it?
I've pretty much replaced my laptop with the lapdock. Once you have it set up so you can install actual useful programs it is just like a netbook.

HDMI/Video In

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to be able to have the tablet operate as a second screen for my laptop either via some sort of video in or even an app? If its unwired then a semi decent fps would be preferable 15+ ideally. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

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?

Tv out
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.

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.

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.

recording screen?

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any suggestions for recording the screen output from my S?
At the moment I'm thinking of rooting and using one of the apps that are available, but I understand that the framerate, using this method, can be a bit slow.
I was thinking maybe I could hook the hdmi cable up to my computer somehow. But I've never done this before, (and I'd have to buy the cable).
So if anyone has any experience with this or could offer any advice, that would be really helpful.
Cheers.
I use screencast, but it needs root though..

OTG Printing And General Info!

Hi guys,
I have an OTG cable which is great as I'm using it with my External HDD but I want to use it to print photos off of my phone. I have seen the PrinterShare app, however the app costs too much at nearly £8!
So, can anyone recommend an app or way of doing this for free please? (My printer isn't a Samsung)
Also, is there anywhere I can go to read about what the OTG can actually be used for? (I know there are YouTube video, however I want to read at my leasure)
Any help is greatly appreciated :thumbup:

You can afford an OTG cable but not PrinterShare?

That's what I'm saying yeah, considering the cable cost me 30p its a bit of a difference. I'm just wanting a free option as I had with my iPhone 4......
