Is there any way to get TV out on the G2 (to play games, NOT DLNA)

daydeal has this but I'm not sure if it works. I know their cases are official T-mobile cases because I saw the cases they had at my local store and I ordered one case from them and it came in official T-mobile packaging and had the retail price on it, also the case I bought retailed for 24.99 and I got it from there for 16.99 so it might work and also it says OEM HTC.

Someone said that didn't fit in their phone. Also the HDMI I bought from them for my Vibrant was incompatible and was recalled... so... :S

The web site said it works with the g2

Disregard that. As soon as this is confirmed working, I'm buying one. That's sweet.

I'm strongly considering getting one and might order friday. But would we need software for it?

What about old Nokia tv-out cable?

Someone on the T-Mobile forums got it from DayDeal and said it wasn't compatible. DayDeal is WRONG about compatibility ALOT

Daydeal is wrong the cable wont fit its not micro usb its only made for the droid. please don't buy. Search the net for g2 tv out i dont even think the g2 supports it

How can't the latest phone support TV Out >.< Is this a joke or something htc...

No joke. If it supported it I'm sure it would be on the spec sheet just like all the other phones that support TV out. It's not, so it doesn't. I would love to be proven wrong, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

IMHO i don't really see a need for my phone to connect to a TV...

I would love to have google nav on my cars built in screen, which has video in. Good reason, yes?

That's because you don't own a gorgeous television ;o Or maybe you do.
Even then to each his own. I want to play emulators/games on my tv from the phone. With a Wiimote. What's so terrible about that

I can confirm that the HTC TV out cable does not work with the G2.

Damn... Can someone try to get analog TV-Out from the 3.5mm jack?
Some Nokia phones and some digital cameras are currently using it for TVOut.. I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't work, but if we get device's schematics we can see if it's wired.
If it's wired we can always make a kernel module or build a custom kernel that supports it!

They probably mean the HTC Hero or myTouch 3G. They were incorrectly called G2 sometimes.

I can second that the cable from day deal does not fit the g2. I was looking forward to hook up my phone up to my cars radio. but the cable is def not a micro usb like they say it is. Theirs gotta be a way to use the micro usb as a tv out port. It would be great for emulators, you tube and also netflix and hulu if they ever come out for android.

MicroUSB can't carry out TVOut signal!
Anyway, as the HTC Vision kernel sources are available (leaked) I can examinate the video driver to see if there's at least an option for TVOut through 3.5mm jack.. but we should open up a G2/DesireZ for seeing if it's wired, 'cause if the TVOut through 3.5mm procedure is written in the drivers but it's not wired in the phone it's still useless.

Which accessories choose?

Hi everyone! I am SGS owner and i want to uprgarde my gps quality, so i was wondering to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver, but i don't know which one to choose? It will be good if someone can recommend me something. Most importnat for me is quality and also i don't want to buy it for 70£ or more (good prize for me is under 20£).
I also decided to buy car holder and there is same problem, i don't know which one to choose. If someone could recommend me something then please also add ebay or amazone link.
And the last question . On thursday i visit Berlin and if someone knows a good mobile/electronics store when i can buy accessories (screen protectors, silicon case etc.) for my SGS, then please tell me .

*yawn*
Don't bother. Android doesn't support bluetooth GPS. The apps won't be able to use it.

One person in the above link posted a photo of the bluetooth gps unit he's currently using, and I managed to locate it on Ebay.

Worth taking a look at. And it's not too expensive. Now that I know bluetooth GPS does work on Android, I am quite interested in getting my hands on one as well. The Galaxy S GPS does work, but it's definitely not perfect.

Ok! I think i buy it.

micro USB to HDMI

I have a Vibrant, and I just convinced my buddy to get a Galaxy S 4G and he loves it. I keep seeing threads floating around the vibrant forums about Micro-USB to HDMI.
Now from what I understand the Galaxy S 2 is able to do this, but from what I've read, there is not much of a difference between the hardware of the SGS2 and the Vibrant and SGS4G. From what I've read, theres something thats blocking it from working on SGS4G and the Vibrant thats enabled in the SGS2.
heres a few threads on the idea..
-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973789
another idea. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11366461&highlight=kernel#post11366461
if anyone could get this enabled in the coding, it would be probably one of the sickest developments in the hacking of the SGS phones. not to mention theres a few bounties on here. people are willing to donate for such an amazing thing. including me!

This would be quite a development for us Galaxy S 4G owners. Especially if all we need to do is flip a switch or two in the kernel .config file.
But it is stated here that it is just for the Galaxy S2.

ahh see its been said that "only galaxy s2 can" buttt its also been said that the SGS was supposed to be able to do it and samsung decided to disable it so that the SGS2 could be the "first"
these all could be speculations. But like I said in 1st post, it's been said that all the hardware is pretty much the same (minues of course a few things). But apparently everything hardware wise related to this is the same and its disabled in the kernel. How amazing would it be! gahh

Why do we have a setting in our phones under display called TV Out? U can turn it on or off and u can select PAL or NTSC under tv system. I cant find anything about this in any of the full online manuals? Im confused>>> has anyone figured this out yet?

What that does is it gives you video and audio thru the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
its a cord like this LINK
I picked one up and its cool but the resolution and clarity is terrible coming thru that little jack. Although its neat to have

my tv in my room is a 1080p 32' insignia and the one in the living room is a old 55' projector big screen still though it doesn't look bad and is good to watch movies with but like I said i is definitely not HD.

I just use a radio shack 3.5-vga camcorder a/v cable and swap the red and yellow plugs. It works great. No its not HD but its perfectly watchable quality. Of course if the source video is sketchy its going to look even worse on the big screen. But try it with a decent video source and it looks pretty good. I use it all the time to watch stuff from my phone. Give it a shot.

BT S Pen feedback

Does anybody have it yet? Could you please leave your comments and first impressions here if you do?...

The pen works very well on the note 10.1. It feels more natural than the s pen. I actually Bluetooth it to my galaxy note 5.3. Sound quality is excellent and the people I talk to can hear me very clearly. All in all a great device. Can you live without it? Absolutely, but it's fun to have.

Thanks for the feedback.
1. Does this pen allow pairing with more than one device at the same time?
2. Does it house the 10.1 stylus inside, like the holder for the original N7000 Note did?

No. As far as I can see it only pairs with 1 device. Can't read Chinese instructions though. It doesn't house the stylus. It's a separate stylus. Comes with its own bag of plastic nibs.

Anyone else got this? Could you please leave your feedback? Thanks.

I've ordered it off of ebay, but not received yet. am anxious to read others reviews as well.

The BT s-pen has the same function as the normal s-pen. And it is a bluetooth headset with vibrition for incomming calls. When you press the phone button S-voice opens. Say "call Annie" and Annie will be called. Great !

Where to order one

Got mine off Ebay from Korea directly... No english instructions but then its not too hard to work out...
Charge until led turns blue, start bluetooth on Phone/Tablet, search bluetooth.
On pen, hold dial button for 3 - 10 seconds, tablet will pick up, Can't remember if I needed to enter pair code but "0000" usually works....

I finally got my hands one one of these yesterday - awesome. I also got English instructions with mine
1. Yes it supports two devices at the same time (Multi-Point) I have mine paired with my Note 10.1 & my Note 2
2. Yes it holds an s-pen inside - there's some instructions for re-assembling it and a picture. I don't know if it's the full s-pen inside though and I'm not going to take it apart just to find out.
It's got the proper feel of a pen and is much nicer to write with than built in one. Works great with s-voice as well and sound quality is good.
My poor s-pen always stays in it's slot now.

Also one proud owner here Got mine for about 30 usd. Really like to use it over the standard Spen. And what is more cool than talk to your pen, haha.

From this shop I doubt... in fact they don't have fixed prices and you can bargain. I have years of experience on this in China so not easy to fool. But I didn't find this pen in China and there I think no chance to bargain for such original products, at least not much. So I was suprise to find it here and be able to set a good price. I also bought the original flip cover. Or it just could be that they try to ripoff all the white faces they see

Update, there's 2 on Ebay.com right now. I think only 1 is under $75 AND a US seller. When I search I only want US sellers. Hope this helps. You can set up 'saved searches' and even 'notifier' when the item matches your wish.

The sound quality is not really as good as I expected for $150 speakers. Which is pretty much all it really is anyway.

Yeah, they are probably not Beats quality, but would consider it louder and better than the built in speaker tho?

Definitely louder than stock speaker.
