Does ICS not support DIV-I/D out? When I ran a different tablet with HoneyComb, HDMI out to a DIV-D projector, it worked just fine.
I've been running an assortment of cables and adaptors with confusing results.
The base line was my original tablet (no longer available for testing) which had Honeycomb and a full HDMI out. I have an HDMI to DIV-D cable that ran to my BenQ W100 Projector and worked fine.
Introduce the Prime with it's Micro HDMI and I've tried the following...
Micro HDMI to Standard HDMI adapter - HDMI to DIV-D cable - *Fail*
Micro HDMI to DIV-D adapter - DIV-D to DIV-D cable *Fail*
Micro HDMI to VGA Adapter - VGA to VGA (to a different projector) *Works*
My W100 doesn't have VGA, but the work projector does (but no DIV-D connection).
I don't have a wide enough assortment (or consistent enough) to eliminate variables and pin down the exact point of failure.
I also spent a fair amount of time searching the forum and google, but not finding this exact issue.
Thoughts?
Nil success for me as well.
Tried micro hdmi to hdmi to hdmi coupler to hdmi to dvi; and,
Micro hdmi to hdmi to hdmi/dvi converter.

I just found a MHL cable for the SGS2 on Amazon with Micro-USB to HDMI.
I have a Samsung HDTV bought about a year ago. Now i know that MHL means you can charge as well as view the phone stuff on the screen but MHL TVs have not released yet (i think, and even if they have i wont be getting one anytime soon).
So my question is can i still see the TV out if i use the MHL cable on my older TV? I know it definitely wont charge.
Anyone?? :S
yes you can.
all you need is the adapter from MHL (micro-USB) to HDMI, connect the HDMI to the TV and you are good to go.
the advantage of the original samsung adapter is the ability to connect a power cable to the adaptor and charge the phone while it transmits the picture to the TV.
hope i helped
Thanks mate
For anyone confused, an MHL cable is a Micro USB to HDMI cable - no ifs, no buts, this will transmit HDMI from a compatible MHL port. Nothing else needed (except I believe it must also be connected to power)
Your micro USB port on the bottom of your SGS2 is an MHL/USB port, and will therefore work.
Important to note is that not all micro USB ports are also MHL ports, therefore will not necessarily work on some other micro USB port on a different phone.
Well.. I haven't this one untill now. But i want to know if there are any body has the same idea with me.
A simple cable adaptor will not work, because for that to work, Asus has to specially support outputting a compatible composite analogue signal through their HDMI connector, which I don't think they will. However, they have announced a standard VGA adaptor, with that you can connect an analog TV with a VGA input. If you have an even older TV, then you'll have to use a HDMI to RCA converter box like this.
Like above, you'll need an active digital to analog converter cable (it either is a box or requires some batteries with a bulky part in the middle), since the Transformer only outputs digital signal (speculated). With the VGA adapter becoming available, you can go VGA Adapter -> VGA to RCA and it should work (I'm assuming the VGA adapter will also output sound with RCA or 3.5mm jack)
there must be a build in analog signal within the HDMI output, because the adapter is only a cable. and i dont think there isnt any converter in the HDMI VGA cable.
i think these two will perfect match for our problem:

HDMI only has digital signals for both video and audio. You will require an active HDMI to Composite video box. Search Amazon for "HDMI to Composite video".... can't post links yet

Yes, a standard HDMI output is purely digital, but I think Transformer's HDMI output is designed to be reconfigured to output an analog VGA signal as well (a port is just a set of pins, you can output just about anything as long as the underlying hardware supports it; like some phones can output a HD video signal through a USB port etc.. ). I say this because photos of the announced mini HDMI to VGA adaptor is too small to be an active converter.
I have a hdmi to component and VGA converter at home,
So can test this for you tomorrow when I get home,
There isn't any reason why a adapter won't work,
To get a analogue signal then the VGA adapter for the transformer connects to the data port at the bottom,

HP has a similar HDMI - VGA dongle... looks a lot like the Asus' version too. I wonder if it works.

Hi guys,
I ve got a HDMI adaptor and cable for my S2 and it is working fine on the TV with HDMI, just wondering if I can connect S2 to the telly without HDMI socket?
There is no cable for that. Or use an HDMI cable with a DVI converter on top of it?
Google for HDMI to composite. There's loads of cheap leads to do this.

I am also trying to find how to cheaply connect S2 to a crt tv with either scart or composite RCA - does't look possible without high cost below taken from a web site but not allowed to post link as I'm a new user!:
HDMI To Composite Cable is sought by many people nowadays. People who have old technology equipments try to connect them with brand new HDMI-ready devices. Most old devices are using either composite cable, analog cable, or S-Video cable.
HDMI To Composite CableSome people think that they are able to convert the digital signal from HDMI end to several analog signals in the other end. The truth is, while you clearly can connect wire-to-wire, which simply won’t work. There is no possible solution to convert digital to analog signal without using a converter box. When you see HDMI To Composite Cable sellers claim to be able to convert the digital to analog signal directly without a converter box, they mostly scam and don’t work.
So, is it possible to convert the digital signal to analog signal? The answer is yes, but you can’t use a simple HDMI To Composite Cable. You need a converter box. It will do the conversion from digital to analog without a breeze. You may find them on the market labeled as HDMI To Composite Converter, HDMI To S-Video Converter, HDMI To 3 RCA Converter, HDMI To 5 RCA Converter, HDMI To Composite 3 RCA / S-Video Converter Adapter, but simply not as HDMI To Composite Cable only.
hdmi uses digital signal, so you can use a DVI adaptor but that's it.. (or digital component but that's ultra rare)
to use analogue (scart, composite, component, s-video) you'll need a digital-to-analogue converter box and they cost around £30 from ebay.. you're better off putting that money towards a new LCD with hdmi
Hello all,
Today my micro HDMI to HDMI cable and HDMI to DVI adapter arrived. I put the lot together and attached it to my monitor, but it doesn't work... The Prime says that micro HDMI is connected when the cable with adapter is attached to the screen, but the screen doesn't pick up the signal.
I haven't tried putting the HDMI cable into a TV or so, because I have none...
btw. I'm on the latest update (.15?)
My panasonic tv didn't recognize the connection until i plugged it in to the extra hdmi port on the side of the tv. I don't know what the deal was, but I am glad it worked eventually.
Try another tv or monitor, it could be a compatibility issue.
I've got a Lindy MHL 3.0 adapter and it works flawlessly. However I'd like to hook up my wireless xbox 360 controller adapter (which also works flawlessly) - at the same time.
Obviously I can't plug anything into the micro usb whilst the mhl adapter is plugged in.
So, is there a 'y' cable that can be made or is there a dock allowing usb input along with mhl output?
According to the mhl 3.0 spec, there's support added for hid input (such as game controllers?) but I've no idea how they envisioned the physical setup with only a single micro usb port.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
i have already thought about that...
won`t work in my optionion unless you have a specific microhdmi output like to old XPERIA S....
