video out

this is probably a silly question but is this impossible?
somehow have a usb to svid lead and some software?

i forgot about sound.. could audio be run through miniusb also?

Well, while I can't say its IMPOSSIBLE, I can say its highly unlikely to exist.
The mini USB on these devices is designed only to be a slave port (meaning, it can connect to a host, such as a PC, but it cannot act as a host to other devices, such as a mouse or keyboard... the connected device needs to host it). That being said, the mini-USB wouldn't appear to have the capability on the surface.
I have seen mini-SD cards that use the SDIO interface to control a VGA output, but the problem with the Tornado is that the card slot is under the battery, making it impossible to have a wire sticking out to a screen. And even then, its not a "true WYSIWYG" video out, but rather the ability to show slides, such as powerpoint using their software.
Now, the reason I saw that its NOT impossible is because theoretically, I've already done something similar using a Media Center PC attached to my TV. I had a video on my phone that I wished to show someone on a bigger screen, so I plugged the tornado into the PC using the USB, and started WM5torage, which effectively made the tornado a mass storage device. Then, the media center PC played the video from my storage card on the TV.
While this may not be exactly what you had in mind, I think its possible (if someone were inclined to design it), to make a box that could pull off video files on demand from your device, and then output them to a svideo or RCA jack. It still wouldn't be a real VGA out, but it would sorta make you feel like you had an ipod video.
As far as audio, your device already has a stereo audio jack. You can plug that into a Television using a 3.5mm to RCA adaptor cable (similiar to the ones that sell for the ipod video), and then a 2.5mm to 3.5mm coming out of your phone (I did that once too, don't ask why...). Won't help with video though.
Some more information that is interesting to note:
-There ARE some windows mobile devices that have USB host capability, particularly the Toshiba pocket PC's of yesteryear. They allowed usb keyboards, printers, mice, flash drives, etc... to be connected to the port directly on the device. So, that would make what you are describing much more feasible. However, the Toshiba's also supports an expansion pack that included a VGA out, so you'd already be all set if you had one of those! too bad they haven't come out with a current device in a long time (there's some new ones on the horizon I've seen though).
-New Bluetooth specifications are being laid out that include protocols for transfer of video, much like A2DP is for audio. The problem is, much like A2DP for audio, there will most likely be many hurdles with compatibility, and it probably won't be so reliable even when working.
Good luck!

That would be pretty cool, to have something like "bluetooth audio/video distribution profile"

I'm pretty sure it will need BT 2.0's enhanced bandwidth to carry all that data smoothly, so either way when this comes out, we'll need to get new devices by then.
But yea, the concept IS cool... Bluetooth totally rocks when used properly!

inasmuch as i would like to believe that such a thing can be done, dishe's right. it is unlikely. theoretically, it possible - but the cost and hassle to create something like this would not be cost effective (and hassle-effective ^_^) for the inventor... unless there are reaaally generous people out there... sigh.
anyway, check this picture out. if this were real, that would make this the perfect phone (oh, and hot swappable SDIO... almost forgot about that ^_^)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nice picture.

A few ways do do this...
Run MyMobler via BT and use camtasia or windows media encoder to Live Screen cap the MyMobler window. Then Stream to any format and publish. You can also play out to webcam.
There was a miniSD video output cad you can get on ebay, but for some devices where the SD card is under the battery it wont work.
Lastly there is Comvu.com try thier cab it works well with wifi and 3g

Using the Fuze for a limited CarPC

Ok, I have my Fuze running through the in-dash screen and I use it for GPS, internet, etc. However, I want to mount the phone so it's very clean and seamless but yet I still need access to the keyboard and screen for navigation. Has anyone done this succesfully, and if so, can you post pictures? I'd like a nice cradle that I can just plug it into and it will hook up my TV-out cable, my charger, etc. I'd like the charger to be hard wired too so it's not using my lighter socket.
2nd part of this question, does anyone recommend any certain software to make automotive usage any easier or more streamlined?

Not possible unless you can figure out a way to get usb hosting working on the phone. I have been looking into this myself as have many others and at the moment it is not possible. Even if usb hosting were to be enabled, you still would have to make a driver for it to work on that screen and would need to use more than your tv out cables to control the phone. Only way I know of is to run an actual car pc and use mymobiler to control your phone.

I think you read my post wrong. I already have everything working through that screen. I just need a place to mount the phone where it's handy and I can still use the keyboard. As it is now, it just sits on the passenger seat with a wire draping up into my dash.
After posting this, I was thinking if I could mount a bluetooth trackball device into my center console if it would act as a mouse (and somehow give me a mouse cursor?) then I could do everything with it and put the phone in the center console, out of sight. Have people been able to get a BT mouse to work with the phone?

i've done this with a number of HTC phones using a bluetooth mouse/keyboard and my Pioneer f700bt. The Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard is the ideal one for WM phones. Logitech v270 or v470 mouses have been known to work. As far as mounting it before I had my Pioneer screen, I attached my phone to my visor by strapping the holster of a car PDA mount to the visor using a velcro strap (see picture below). This way the touchscreen is still usable/accessible, but the keyboard on the phone probably wouldn't be. Also, if you check out the forums at www.mp3car.com, there are a lot of pictures and info of people using WM phones as carputers and integrating them into their cars. I believe there is one that had a mount in their glove box. You also may want to think about a vertical standing screw down PDA mount that you could attach to your console and still use the Fuze's keyboard.
I believe someone at mp3car.com was working on a front end software for mobile phones as carputers, you may want to look into it there. Some of the SPB software is handy for quick access when I used mine in the car.
check out what this guy did with his Dell Axm and his car, which you could apply a lot to the Fuze: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/gen...1v-aximizer-carputer-video-demonstration.html Pretty amazing.

Thanks, what mouse did you use?
I've been on mp3car.com for years and I spent the entire day on today. I felt the integration of WM phones was severaly lacking on this forum, I must have missed the posts.
Either way, if I can get a nice BT k/b and mouse then I think I'm going to mount a cradle inside the center console so it's all hidden and just have the k/b mouse mounted somewhere. Maybe even a custom center console, who knows. I hope all of this will be compatible with the TP2 also, I'll be switching over to that when AT&T decided to carry it.

I used the Logitech v270 with my HTC Wizard and P4300 running WM6.1 and it worked with both. I haven't tested it with the Fuze yet though. I think it would be fine. There are some generic drivers floating around various forums on here for bluetooth mice to work with WM. Whenever you decide what to do, I'd be interested in seeing the finished project!

you may want to check out this site for mounts for the Fuze:
http://www.ram-mount.com/Products/CellPhoneMounts/tabid/142/Default.aspx
just enter your phone as AT&T> Tilt and it will give you a ton of mounts that you may be able to use to position your keyboard and screen on the Fuze to be more accessible. The cupholder one may work for your setup.

sub'd for later, been trying to find hptuners for wm and this could work wonders

question
Awesome setup you have.
I have been wanting to setup a car PC myself. My original thoughts were to make a Windows XP box (located in trunk or dash) wired to a touchscreen on the console like you have. I had never considered just using my phone. This Pioneer screen that you have; how does it interface with your Fuze (USB/Bluetooth)? Are you just getting the display or is it a touchscreen that you can use to navigate on the device? Do you have the Fuze running your car audio?

Bracketron
They have a wealth of mounts that will keep you from destroying the sensitive fuze in a customized storage. I use this personally, and it works great during GPS navigation.

Check out brodit they have exactly what your looking for.

WOW very impressive

Wow... That's really cool.
BTW, how do you connect the headphones so you can listen in to the 2nd song to adjust the beat before fading it over to play? Can you plug in the line on the phone to broadcast, and then use Bluetooth headphones to adjust the beat?

Bluetooth headphones always have a delay, so I really wouldn't recommend trying to use them with this application.

You're probably right... I guess I'll need to get a splitter, but what splitter is actually needed? Links to the appropriate hardware would be appreciated. I'm guessing a standard plain 3.5mm splitter which goes from one 3.5mm jack to two 3.5mm sockets wouldn't do, since both jacks would still be get the same signal.. right?

Right. Hardware does not support this. This tool isn't meant for real beatmixing. It's a cool gimmick but it works like jack sh*t if you ask me. If someone would be able to find a windows mobile app that works like Hexler's TouchOSC....

crap application, there is no way to return from Disc view except "Return" hardware button. Disc makes horrible sounds. No effects. Can't even show off with this... app need to be developed.

lol, warez!! you would could do it with a y splitter, if one track was played though the left headphone and all was player though the other then that would work with a splitter, but you would end up with mono output.

Hey, is that warez????
I think it is not o.k. to post warez here...

You might want to revisit your comments. This is a "paid for" app available here....http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2010/02...-for-mixing-on-the-go-for-windows-mobile.html
If you point to a link where the app can be downloaded without it being legitimately paid for or where activation or other measures have been illegally removed then you are peddling warez which is against XDA rules and can get you banned.

Screen is broker, how to backup phone?

Hello everyone,
dropped my phone on Friday, didn't have a single scratch. But the screen didn't turn on, just had first a weird green line on top of the screen.
Brought it to a repair shop, they said the screen is burned and has to be changed.
First the positive things:
- phone is still running (LED, vibration, finger sensor, etc.)
- has internet access (could yesterday use WhatsApp Web)
I didn't backup all of my pictures, a few apps, screenshots etc. So Best solution for me would still be to have a functioning screen. The local repair store checks if the screen is available and how much it would cost.
Do you know what else I could do? I mean the phone is 2 1/2 years old, so I could also replace it, but I want to backup all of my apps and files.
I already checked adb, the device is listed but "unauthorized".
What options do I have?
Thank you and best regards

If the digitizer (touch) works, do what I recommended here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/broken-amoled-digitizer-data-recovery-t4160245
If it doesn't, you're going to need a USB splitter to connect both your phone to your PC and a mouse to your phone in order to confirm the adb authorization dialog (or at least that's the only idea I have at the moment). And a lot of luck to click where you're supposed to click. But yeah, it might work.

Ah, he has the exactly same problem
I like the idea with scrcpy, that would fit my needs to backup everything and then I can take a new phone. The problem at the moment is that I seem to be unable to press the button to authorize the phone.
I didn't get the idea with the USB splitter? You mean to connect a screen and a mouse to the phone? I tried with a USB-C portable screen, that didn't work. Is this possible with a splitter?

Using the splitter for simultaneous mouse and PC connection is exactly what I meant (the one in the picture is absolutely fine), albeit if your screen is completely dead, and the digitizer is broken (or so it seems), it's going to be really hard to click in the right place, I think.
As for the portable screen, OP6 doesn't support video output via USB-C AFAIK, so that's why you didn't have any luck with it (a splitter won't help with that). Technically you could use a displaylink device to mirror your screen, but I feel like that's just too much hassle.
Eh, I think I'm out of ideas for now. Maybe somebody else will be able to help. Hope you get your issue solved!
EDIT: I think I have an idea on how you could check whether touch actually works or not. Do you, by any chance, have touch sounds on? If yes, you should be able to hear a sound for every action you make on the phone (like opening an app and such). Just make sure that your phone isn't muted beforehand
EDIT2: Oooooooor you could just use a keyboard to confirm the dialog/input the code in TWRP if you have that installed (and if TWRP actually supports keyboards). Also worth trying.

Someone Logged into my stolen phone!!!

So someone decided to steal a broken phone belonging to me. The screen was smashed & im pretty sure it wouldn’t turn on, I couldn’t feel it viberate when powering on, but unsure if even powered.
Now since then I logged into the Google account & seen the device was active yesterday on a known network, I couldn’t see the name.
No SIM cards or sim tray in the phone for mobile data.
Passcode to enter the phone was my name.
Is it possible that someone powered the phone on with the broken screen there for it connected to a known network? Even possible to power on a phone with. Broken screen? Phone need to be unlocked to connect to Wi-Fi?
I am dumbfounded.
Samsung Galaxy A03Core.

As long as the SOC is intact anything is possible...

Well I know it is due to recent activity, Im absolutely sickened. Issue I have is when I last had access to it, it wouldn’t even light up when plugged into PC.
Now it’s stolen & recently active…

Some ejit replaced screen & either got in via passcode & or the Device connected to known network? Only possibility I can imagine?

Yes it's doable. See what free legal avenues are available to you where you are. I would leave it be as such until you do that. Best if you can find and prosecute the offender. Hammer 'em.
Secure bank accounts etc. now. Change email address and passwords.

no need for screen unlock to connect to known wifi. it's possible to mirror screen to tv and control phone with mouse and keyboard, though

@alecxs Is that a frame buffer device there?
Which devices support a frame buffer with mirroring without doing anything?
I presume that it's not just a Type C alt mode?

Thanks for the informative reply’s il get it back somehow.

There's lots of sites saying that if it supports USB 3.1 then it supports video.
OTOH, Qualcomm has tons of USB 3.1 processors and DisplayPort alt-mode only came in on the SDM835, SDM845.
I've tried using an HDMI adapter on my SDM636 (USB 3.1) and it doesn't work.
I've no idea if the adapter converts from DisplayPort to HDMI or whether it uses HDMI alt-mode.
