Hdmi out? No. Tv out via 3.5? Possibly, might want to try to ask some sites that already have the phone. Someone said wiimote will work since it has 2.1 bluetooth.

I doubt it with the initial release. It's possible if they release a rev 2 version, but right now there is no type of hdmi out on the phone from watching the videos and looking at the pictures.

How about DLNA?

Hey,
any progress in this? I would like to buy Nexus S, but HDMI is a wanted feature. Have anyone tried that Samsung HDMI-microUSB cable?

Seriously?! No offend, but do you have a clue what kind of connection you have on your G2?? And do you have a clue what that cable is?? LoL
To answer your question, NO. That is a micro HDMI cable. It is NOT possible. G2 doesn't have micro HDMI port. Only micro USB.

I'm thinking that someone who doesn't know the difference between micro hdmi/usb might also not understand your syntax for "does not equal"?

ouch guys harsh lol.

** Nope you cannot sorry I wast thinking about this the other day and I was like wait, its a G2.... -_- talk about lame, I wish it could though.

Being one who shops for cables on Amazon, I can say that a few I've come across have been named and or detailed wrong.
This cable could be micro USB to HDMI but ya, not aware of that working.
Besides, the desire z has dlna support. (Which is something I would like to see in cm)
Why worry about cables?

[Q] Best micro HDMI cords?

HI guys im wondering where can i find the best hdmi cords for my G2X phonw. I recently ordered one in amazon and arrived today but wasnt the same connection to my phone :/. Im pretty pissed off since was up for it, so now im posting this thread to see if any one can direct me to some good hmdi cords of the G2X? thank u for ure help.

i orderd an iogear cable from newegg it was like 12 buck free shipping. Works perfect. sorry cant post links yet

I got a 6' cable for $3 after shipping from Amazon. I should get mine in a couple days. It said it was for G2x; I hope it fits my phone!

whatever you do, stay away from the monoprice cables.. There are multiple posts about their cables frying the phone.

To input my two cents, don't buy a cable that reads gold plated or anything of the like. Off the top of my head I can think of Monster Cables. I don't know about MicroHDMI and Monster Cables.
Why? Well, digital cables only need to pass 1s and 0s (i.e. binary). Back in the day with analog cables, the wires used in cables really were effective. Nowadays, simple silver will get the job done the same as gold-plated / gold-tipped / dipped-in-gold cables.

I have a 3 part response to the post above.
1. Used to work at Circuit City, and we were, pretty much told to push cables, and that type of accessory. Why? Because the cost on say a 4" RCA Video cable was $7 when they would sell them to customers for $70. Yup. I purchase a $70 dollar Top of the Line Monster Cable Video only RCA cable back in the day for $7 bones. Cables are a big business.
2.Plenty of people, I know that work at electronic stores, say that when purchasing a HDMI cable, you don't need to spend anything more than $20 bux.
As long as its under 14'.
3.Silver is actually a better conductor of electricity than gold. I don't know how much better, it actually is. The reason they don't use Silver for plating cables and such, is becuase it oxidizes. Gold doesn't.

I order all my cables from monoprice.com

In what way did it not fit? Micro HDMI is Micro HDMI there is not varying versions its all the same size. Now if you are saying the surrounding rubber wouldn't allow you to plug it into the socket I can understand but the actual socket is all the same.

Android stick with scart connector

I was wondering if there are and android sticks with a scart connector.
Since I have a very old TV and getting one with a HDMI connector isn't an option for me I was hoping if there is a product like this.
If So, what are the costs of this product.
The ones I've seen So far are all HDMI.
I am aware that there are HDMI to SCART cables but they are a bit to expensive.
Thanks in advance

no offence dude but if you can afford a pc, an internet connection, a mini pc, power to power it, you can afford to buy a $2/£2 hdmi-scart adaptor from ebay :good:

Yes, that cable will not work - converting HDMI to scart is not that simple. Best bet is to get the stick with the a/v output I mentioned above....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

i was really just using that link as an example , the proper cable should be there somewhere, and are you sure it wont work? im sure ive used a xbox360 converter before with no probs on an old tv at my sisters
edit: if the cable above is wrong as mentioned then jetfin's option probably seems the easiest route.
however i cant find any support for this device so if you do run into a problem which lets face it with these sticks you probably will at some point, theres not gonna be much help.
also something to note :c+p'd from the website
"""""Now on to the less than stellar bit. The camera. We were all excited because we thought we’d found a bargain basement way to add Skype video calling to our TV (compared to products like the Logitech Skype camera which costs hundreds of dollars). But to our dismay Skype refused to work with the dongle, and not only Skype. We tried Tango too, and even Google Talk failed to load. So it looks like there’s either a) a bug in the firmware or b) the thing is designed not to let you access the camera via a video chat application.
It totally ruins the point of having a camera in the device, what else are you going to do, photograph (or video) yourself sitting on the couch? Not really, eh?"""""

360 outputs in interlaced too. I'm guessing you would need to have a deinterlacer too. There is a hdfury that converts to VGA then you could VGA> to rgb thru a deinterlacer prob only cost couple of hundred quid lol

PTV300 / Miracast worth it?

Wireless display from my Nexus 4 to my 80" TV thru PTV3000.
Found this for $60 on B&H. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=898441&is=REG&A=details&Q=
What do you guys think, is it worth it or am I better off w/the regular Slimport adapter?

It depends on what your trying to display on your tv.

I'd go for the slimport, unless you HAVE to have it wireless. Depending on your router and range, there could be major video lag during playback with miracast.
Also, slimport is cheaper. Amazon retails the OEM adaptor for $30 with shipping included and I've seen it as cheap as $20 on eBay.

Honestly, it's not worth it. I bought one from Best Buy for the same price and I regret not returning it.
It's cool and all, but it's nothing but a novelty.
