TV out via cables?

Does the MyTouch 4G have a TV out via RCA cables? I realize its not included but does it have the ability of it built in like the Vibrant does?

I checked my settings and have not found a tv-out setting to enable like my old vibrant. It does have a new media sharing app that is supposedly going to link up via connected WiFi pods. I haven't messed with it too much.

You can share whats on your phone via a wifi network and the "Screen Share" app that is powered by "Twonky"

This is one feature I have been really hoping for so that I could play my gensoid/snesoid games on any TV with RCA inputs. It's one feature that I haven't had on my Nexus One.
Can anyone confirm that that it either IS or IS NOT possible to have wired video output on a MyTouch 4G through either the mini-USB port (like Droid Incredible) or the 3.5mm jack (like the Vibrant) ?

That kind of sucks, didnt use it much on the vibrant but it was nice to have, not every tv is capable of the wifi sharing but every tv has an rca input

I don't understand why you want to put HD Video on a Tv with RCA jacks. I used DLNA network share on my Droid X. Never once wasted my time with a cable. I have since moved to T-Mo and will be getting the MT 4G on launch day.

Does not. Only WiFi share using the previously stated app.

I just read a review on chipchick.com that says:
"All in all, the MyTouch 4G display is not quite the best display out there on a smartphone, but it’s still excellent and easy on the eyes. T-Mobile also offers a $14.99 accessory that lets you connect the MyTouch 4G to a TV display via component input. This is a neat feature to have, although we wish it would have been HDMI."
This article says that it DOES support video out, via a component cable that T-mobile sells. Is the article wrong?

ok, at this point I've actually BOUGHT the phone, and I still don't know the answer for sure. The tmobile people have no clue either way.
the article I listed above says it DOES do video out, with a cable from tmobile. Can anyone prove or disprove this?

any word?
Ive searched around and haven't found a definate answer. I'm thinking of purchasing mt4g or waiting for the lg 2x. Know it's been awhile since the thread started but hope some one has a definate answer, has done it, by now. Hope the threads not dead
//Lost my sexy nexy new years =(

Yeah, it works great. I'm pretty sure there are already youtube videos showing it done. I've done it, but was awhile ago and I forgot where the tv out enable is in the operating system..

I got a developer working on a ps3 controller app for android

would you buy it? if so how much? hopefully il be releasing a beta app soon!

If it worked well I'd buy it. I'd pay no more than $3 for it.

what do you mean by controller. as in emulating the keyboard/mouse functions or are you saying Remote Play client app?
my answer would be a yes in both regards. and like above poster, max $3. its a niche app.

Yeah if your talking about letting us pair a ps3 controller with the phone, hell yeah I'd buy!
Sent from my G2x

im talking about for emulators mostly like ps1 snes genesis what ever pretty much

if i was going to pay for it, it should have full analog controls too not the emulated like the wii controller app. some games need to beable to use the full analog stick not just on or off like emulating a keyboard

thanks xargon il make sure thats a priority!

How far along are? When your done and if all ps3 controller functions work, Ill be buying app, donating and buying a brand new ps3 controller

Ditto. I have a Bluetooth gamepad now that emulates a WiiMote. It has analog joysticks but they only emulate up/down/left/right.

I would buy for couple bucks.

I immediately thought of this app that I used on my HD2 for the wiimote....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689984... but then remembered that my HD2 didn't always run android. Might be a good person to get involved if this isn't the dev you are talking about.

should have a update in a few days! thanks everyone for your interest

Great idea, I would definitely buy it!

I thought the problem with this was the way that the PS3 sends pairing passwords?

Cod will be more epic with this

hmm ran into more problems than we initially thought was hoping to get a beta out by next week but it looks like prolly 3 weeks sorry guys il update this page as i get more info

interested and would probably buy this. $3 seems like a good price

Really looking forward to this, I hope you are still working on it. I'd pay $5 easily for it if it works well.

Seems like a paid application would quickly become irrelevant. Almost not worth the effort to even start, considering that support is already present in Android 3.1 kernel
You'd be better off trying to backport that.

yes but not all phones have the ability to have a controller plugged into it this seems like it would be a bluetooth deal.

[Q] Phonejoy Gamepad - What do you think?

I'm thinking of buying the Phonejoy analog version.
It's seems really nice but the seller does not have any items in stock.
go to phonejoy.net
Does anyone has one of these things?

A link would be nice, so we don't have to find it ourselves.

I have one, its the prototype - was sent for me to review. Great controller, I love it!
(he did give the link BTW, Phonejoy.net - also keep an eye out at Mobilefun and Clove in the UK, they have small shipments going out to them).
Here is more info:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/07/21/...phonejoy-refresh-dual-analog-sticks-are-a-go/

So, can we use the ps3 with the bluez ime? Or just those controllers mentioned in the site?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App

Nope, still no way to connect PS3 controllers to Android handsets. The Phonejoy is the only option for a PS-like controller (unless you have a stock Android/cyanogenmod ROM handset, in which case you can use Wiimotes).

Datel wii wireless classic controllers with have more buttons... and personally I like the original wii cc even better. Who knows what nintendo will release with the next system
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I can't find the Datel controller.
But I want a controller with shoulders buttons and bluetooth.
That's why I want the Phonejoy or the Datel.

Is there any price yet? Crap they r not even in production yet. If they r making 100-200 of them they r gonna be freaking expensive if they don't mass produce over 1000 of these...

They won't be expensive, the original one was cheap despite the low production.
The Datel one you can get from Codejunkies (via Shipito if you live outside the US/UK). They pop up on Ebay and Amazon from time to time also.

Based of the first being much cheaper than the likes of the iControlPad, despite having much smaller production numbers than the upcoming one, and the fact that I know the Phonejoy manufacturer (thats how I came to have the prototype for review) and I know that they are having their cases ordered in larger numbers (=cheaper per unit), and I know that they are aware of being very price sensitive.

I've been looking for these controllers, what is the Datel one people are mentioning here? Can anyone provide a link, i'm possibly searching the wrong thing in google.

It's the datel wii wireless retro controller.
But I can't seem to find one from the internet.
So i'm waiting for the Phonejoy to release it's analog version.

I'm gonna own one... No doubt... Simple as that...

Since u r such a close friend of the manufacturer, when's a release date?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Most recent information is that around 200 will be produced in August, but they're in talks with a manufacturer presently, and hoping to be able to produce 500-1000 a month from September onward.

I think i'm more attracted by the iControlpad or this other controlpad someone posted where it fits over your keyboard and utilizes the keyboard buttons (anyone what that was called or was that just a one off user invention?).
Mainly because I need something a bit more portable for on the go gaming.

I think you're thinking about the Game Gripper...
Phonejoy are looking into making one like the iControlPad, because they realise that the portability side needs addressing too. No ETA, they are in the early design stages at this point in time, and their priority is increasing production of the dual-stick Phonejoy at the present time.

Just ordered one. Let the waiting begin.

HP Touchpad price dropping to $99/$149 tomorrow!

Hey guys I saw no slickdeals that the price of the HP Touchpad is dropping 300 bucks tomorrow cause they dropped it! I called to confirm and its true, I bought 3 for the full price and they 100% guaranteed that I would be given credit when the price adjust tomorrow at 7AM EST.
Heres the Slickdeals thread:
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862
You can either wait till tomorrow for the price drop or call in right now and pay full price and have it adjusted tomorrow morning. Some are saying the new price is live for the Academic shop but some people can't see it with .edu email addresses.
I have played with the tab in a store and I have to say for $99 this is one Hell of a steal.
Good luck.

Wow. I was expecting a liquidation, but this is remarkable. For browsing the web and random Document editing, this is an amazing price!
Does anyone know the hackability of this device? Do you think that, despite discontinuation, that the app market might become at least respectable (with xda involvement)?

I don't know about the hackability but I'll tell you this tab handles flash like a boss. Its the only one I've seen that can do 1080p youtube without a hitch. And I dunno, they are killing off the touchpad itself but they want to keep webOS alive, I don't really know what that means for webOS on the tab.

Does anyone know what stores have lowered the price? I've been checking the usual suspect's websites and they haven't updated yet. I'd rather walk into a brick and mortar place to get it though. I don't want to wait for shipping if I don't absolutely have to.

Honeycomb has been ported to the galaxy s line, galaxy tab and evo... Probably more too, I think Nook. So... Maybe it's possible?

I'm DEFINITELY buying one and I'm sure ICS can be ported to it when the time comes since the source will be released for it. This is a SNAPDRAGON QUALCOMM CPU and GPU and HTC uses that for their CPU/GPUs so I don't see why it's not possible, someone would have to write a kernel from scratch though to make it smoother, just like how the HD2 has Android, but it's not perfect since it's not using it's own kernel. If someone actually takes the time to unlock the bootloader(if it isn't already unlocked) and write up a kernel for it and port ICS to it, this tablet can be badass ;D $99 Android Tablet with ICS pl0x.

Got one for $90. I mean, at that point I couldn't resist. Heck, at worst I feel like if I use it, dont like it, I can still flip it for a tiny profit on craigslist or ebay.
Im really hoping for an android port. The specs on this tab are actually quite good. Im probably going to end up keeping it regardless. I'll probably just end up using it for bedside web-browsing, movies, and music.
There's a killing to be made by porting android to this thing. thousands of people just picked up this thing on slickdeals (there are literally over 11k browsing right now). I know tons are willing to donate (im good for 10$-20$ myself depending on quality and progress)
Looking forward to a touchpad xda forum soon

Nexus Player Discontinued

Yeah I saw that earlier as well over at the verge. I wonder if Google is planning on releasing a new model of the Nexus Player now, with Android N out of the box?

Does anyone know where you can still buy one of these? Besides eBay of course. I called and went to several targets and walmarts in my area, but I had no luck in finding at least one =\
I want to buy two preferably

What is with Google anyways? They release good products and apps and then discontinue them on a pretty consistent basis. Looking forward the Mibox and google's future discontinued 5 new texting apps....

It didn't sell well at all. Google came very, very late to the market with this. Shame because it works extremely well.

True, but I believe that's only because Google didn't advertise the NP very well, or at all for that matter. If Google advertised the NP the same way Amazon does for their fire stick and fire TV box, the NP would've outsold Amazon's device easily by a landslide. It's a better device all around

Also true, but I don't think Google promotes any of their Nexus devices, phones, tablets, whatever. I ask a non-technical person in my family on phone brands, they might know iPhone, Galaxy, and the model they use themselves. Nexus? Nope.
When the NP launched in Australia last year I went to JB HiFi and asked for one. Even the computer crew didn't know what it was. They went out back to dig through the stock and came back out with it. The girls at the counter looked at it and said "I have no idea what this is, is it like Apple TV?".
Yes, b*atch, yes it is.
---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------
I reckon the NP would do okay if google simply continued at a better RRP. Something like $69, double the Chromecast, but much less than an Apple TV or Roku.

I would be surprised to see another Nexus Player. I honestly think the Mi Box will be its replacement within the same price range. At least Xiaomi has been great at keeping its current Mi Box's up to date with this being like it's third or forth hardware configuration.

Well that really sucks and I hope they just pulled it because they are planning a refresh. I've used Roku and Fire TV and my Nexus Player has been by far my favorite streaming device and it works extremely well. Also, I find it kind of funny how they pulled the Nexus Player from their store and now it shows the Nvidia Shield instead.
