[Q] sensation TV OUT ....anyone? - HTC Sensation

i have a burning question for all of you android/HTC experts out there....please help me
i intend to buy the sensation but i want to know:will i be able to connect it to a tv ?
the problem in my case is that my tv (and in fact none of those i could have access to) has a hdmi (or usb) port.
Therefore the only remaining option would be through a RCA cable.
I found on ebay a rca- usb cable... no boxes no nothing ...just the wire and the connectors...price about 5 $.. (i'm sorry i cant post the link.....)
will it work?
why not? i know rca is analog and usb is digital... hence my dilemma
i also know the sensation can do TV-out via MHL A/V link,but MHL is only going to work on the latest types of tvs....right?

It will work on any lcd or led tv which has a hdmi port(and as u stated ur tv has one),so it will definately work,normal hdmi cable or the cable which u have mentioned will not work,the official hdmi cable including mhl adaptor is available here:

Regards....

sorry i meant to say my tv does not have hdmi or usb...
so i guess i'll have to do without....
thanks though....

So there is absolutely nothing i could do to connect the sensation to a tv using rca conectors????
nothing money could buy??

Since HDMI is digital and RCA is analog, you would need a converter box. Something like this could do it:

thank you very much.....

RCA cable that is connected to a Micro HDMI

Is there a such thing as a micro hdmi to RCA cable for this or any phone?
I remember the HTC incredible had one but not sure if it works on the hdmi out phones. Can any one verify either of these questions. Need the RCA to run the video form the G2x to the screen in my car
you must be talking about one of these. which uses the Micro USB connection, not the HDMI port.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Cable-ADR6300-Vision-Composite/dp/B003Z6Q1DG
i have no idea if the G2x supports video out from it's USB port since it has HDMI.
and for your other question, going from HDMI to RCA requires a little box of magic (to convert from a digital signal to analog) and are pretty costly.

[Q] Micro USB (MHL) to Composite?

Hi,
Does anyone know if I can use this cable on amazon.com:
/HTC-Cable-ADR6300-Vision-Composite/dp/B003Z6Q1DG
with the HTC Sensation?
I know that the Sensation has MHL and the adapter that I am supposed to buy is this one:
/OEM-HTC-HDMI-Adapter-Sensation/dp/B005E5MPBS
but I want to connect this to the headrest mounted TV's in my car and they don't have HDMI inputs. I am trying to avoid buying an HDMI to composite converter, and a power inverter as well...
Any other ideas/ suggestions?
I'm bumping this because I would like to know the same.
Dude check out the 1 start comments... There are 3 HTC Sensation users who have clearly mentioned that it doesn't work with Sensation.. So don't but it..

TV OUT

i have not tv which has HDMI port so i want to know that is there any way that i connect my tv with my lg optimus 3d .please give me solution . i have nokia n8 tv cable can i use nokia n8 cable to use to connect the lg optimus 3d with TV
Took me a good 5-10 mins to read but I reckon a new Tv with hdmi is in order.
I doubt it, you need a TV with an HDMI port and protocol.
Good Morning,
There is an HDMI to RCA cable on ebay that I have thought about ordering.
I don't have confirmation that it will work with our devices though.
If you end up trying it please let us know how it goes!
Thank you, Audi.
I use mine on my tv via hdmi and it works great but I think that the hdmi signal outputs in such a way it needs a hdmi input to connect it to as I think it does a "handshake" where it exchanges basic information. I could be wrong but I'm sure that would mean that rca cables would not work.

I believe Elegancia Blitz sense 3.6 ROM included that option... But don't know if there's the appropriate cable or not
The Revelation™ ushered in a revolution... Right on, SebastianFM!
tried with nokia 5800 xpress music tv-out cable,doesn't seamed to be work.my tv doesn't support hdmi or any mhl cable.mine is samsung flat tv.
any way to be workable ? :'(
Buy some sort of conversion cable. Like VGA to HDMI and vice versa. They're not unheard of, but you'll still need a MHL adapter.

Thanks.Will try to see any converter of MHL adapter.if its works or not.
Good luck & post back with news please!

Hey guys i am back in this thread,
Mhl cable/converter doesn't seamed to be available in market,so any work out with "S-video" or Nokia TV-out function cables on device ?
PS:
Galaxy S i9000 supports Ntsc/pal tv-output.So no on sensation.
Also,RGB-to-3.5mm jack tv-out cable doesn't work,It shows me as "Headphone" icon.

This requires special 3.5mm jack, which the Sensation most probably lacks (only device I know has it (from the android devices) is the i9000 and it's variants). The adapter should not be from MHL but from HDMI, such as these:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...o+rca&_nkw=hdmi+to+rca&_sacat=32852&_from=R40
however, I tend to doubt if a normal cable would work, as HDMI is a digital standard while RCA is analog.

So i guess This One cable should work but it requires a HDMI-To-sensation cable converter in order to connect to my device(which our device don't have HDMI plug).

Yes, it's called MHL adapter (make sure it's compatible with sensation/i9100 (galaxy S2), as there are devices which have a different pin layout or even a different tech for HDMI via USB (Nexus 4 uses SlimPort and not MHL). Do NOT buy the one for Galaxy S3 or Note 2, as they are incompatible.

HDMI cable

I noticed the S5 does not use standard HDMI cable...Is any available that will work with the phone?
This cable worked well for me - http://http://amzn.com/B00GE51T9Q
For some reason it received a bunch of negative ratings but I am satisfied with it. Its also super cheap but I'll warn you ahead of time, it takes weeks to receive since its coming from China.
Link doesnt work...?
Sorry about that. Try this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GE51T9Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
or just search Amazon for "niceeshop White 1080P Micro USB MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter AV TV Video Cable For Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300/ S4 i9500/HTC"
Do you need any sort of app to get the s5 to mirror to a tv? I bought this cable but I cant get it to work...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUCB65I/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1#customerReviews
Nvm got it working! Is there any way to change the resolution?
Resolution is automatically handled, no custom options. Your best control will be to choose the TV's display options and see which scales better.
Hdmi
I just bought a chromecast to get a workaround the hdmi cheap as chips these days
I didn't know that s5 needs a special hdmi cable.. I bought one that doesnt work.. Is there anyone i can do? What is the difference from the standard? Perhaps solder a cable or something?
Thanks,

You got a regular HDMI to HDMI? You need to purchase a micro USB to HDMI MHL adaptor. You will plug the adaptor into the phone and HDMI cable into the adaptor and television.

No. I got a microusb to hdmi adaptor but doesn't work.. When i connect s5 with tv, nothing happens.
I read above that s5 needs a special cable and not the regular (which i 99.9% have..)
So is there any way to make it work?
What special and different the cable that Samsung do?
Thanks,

Does it say it an MHL adaptor? I am looking at other forums and seeing people say that they are unable to get HDMI output to work with 4.4.4, what ROM are you using?

Yes it write mhl. Rom is 4.4 2 alliance rom.
Here is the cable:
http://www.e-shop.gr/startech-passive-micro-usb-to-hdmi-mhl-cable-3m-black-p-PER.813877
This is a photo of the cable:
Because it is a passive MHL cable, your display must be MHL enabled. The S5 is, so you need to look for your television model on this website
http://www.mhlconsortium.org/productlist/
If it isn't on the list, you need a different cable (or different TV which is much more expensive. )
