Hallo, is there any way (custom rom/kernel)
to enable the analog video out from minijack?
maybe the drivers of GalaxyS ported to S2?
thank you
No, there is no video output from that port.
Just buy the hml adapter and HDMI cable. I bought both for $15 delivered off eBay.

so I have to buy mhl + analog adapter = $$$
thank you anyway

? 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.
I mean hdmi to vga/composite
not all monitors/TVs have hdmi

I hate to break it to you, but that's not going to work without additional, expensive hardware (DAC).

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.

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
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.

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?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I use a Startech HDMI (Female) to DVI-D (Male) 24-pin adapter and it works very well with PC monitors.
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.

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.

Need a 5V power supply. Its shape needs to be redesigned to include a mini AC adapter...
RCA, RGB, HDMI Cable... Which one would you like better??
RCA
Tv I would use it is old rca (red,white, yellow)connector type
I need to be able to connect my Galaxy S2 through a rca video input. In order to do this I need to:
1) Get an MHL adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NTHXYY
2) Use a hdmi to rca converter like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047PDBP0
In theory this should work. What do you think? Any issues you see?
In theory, maybe. Let us know if you try it out. Also, as this is accessory related it should not have been put in General.
Sorry, wasnt sure about the right category.
Probably, but the resolution will suck.
I know... its just for displaying the content on an in dash double din radio that has an lcd so i can see larger screen in a more convenient location for things like navigation and song information. Unfortunately almost, if not all, car stereos have rca input an not hdmi.
Oh in your car... then you're going to need a 9v adapter... or an inverter, but then it gets clunky.

The head unit has a usb input. I am hoping it will be able to give power to the MHL adapter.
Need it for the hdmi to rca box.
this might be unrelated or something you already know, but my Alpine stereo with USB wont read any Android device, not even for music or videos. I'm about to change to a similar Pioneer model, so I can't say on that. I'm not sure you can just run Android on the 7" LCD if that's what you're trying to do.
The usb is power for the mhl adapter

I am saying that I don't know where the rca is plugging in. i don't believe the car stereo is going to work with any plug combination.
I want to know if it works, so give us an update. I thought bluetooth was the only connection for cars.
This is for a double din headunit that had a screen and aux video input.

Why wouldn't it work? My old stereo had RCA inputs and i used to hook my ipod up to it all the time. This is just adding a step (the hdmi -> RCA converter).
Should work...
I do think that once you find a way to power the HDMI -> RCA converter, you should be fine. You might want to take the one step first to see if your stereo's USB power will power the MHL adapter by connecting it to an HDMI TV if you can.
Personally, I do not know why there are not more auto options that have HDMI input yet. I wold love to be able to put my video on a screen for my passengers, but going all the way down to RCA seems really silly when it should not be hard to have an HDIMI monitor for the car, but I have really only seen a handful, and most of those are really for video camera applications and thus over-priced.

Hello , What is the best way to stream media from the s3 to my TV (dont have dlna)
Thanks!
Hdmi? You should be able to purchase a MHL adapter, then connect a hdmi cable to the tv if you've got a hdmi compatible tv.

Buy a media player that does support DLNA...
All Share Dongle will do the job?
Depends what you want to stream if it's HD videos can the dongle provide sufficient playback compared to a wired connection?
I don't think it should be a problem my HTC media link can playback HD videos from YouTube and such from my One X. I think the dongle should be similar.

do remember that the S3 requires special 11-pin MHL connection. galaxy s3/note or other previous samsung MHL cable will not work with the S3. the S3 requires a 11-pin MHL cable to connect to HDTV - other MHL cables are 5-pin.
but Samsung does have a small ($10 approx.) adapter where you can plug it between the S3 and other ordinary MHL cable to make the cable work.
the Samsung Galaxy S3 MHL cable is approx $40. The MHL 11-pin adapter is approx $10.
