[Q] sensation TV OUT ....anyone?

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.....

[Q] hdmi to tv using mhl-hdmi cable

I am going to buy mhl-hdmi cable (htc) to connect my phone to hdtv. my qestion is, will it works on my rooted (s-off) sensation xe with dark forest sense 4 rom?
and If I am using sense 4 rom which media link I have to buy (media link HD or media link)?

MHL is a standard protocol, it depends on both devices having the hardware to support it. The sensation does and it is down to your kernel to provide the driver and enable it. You should check that your TV has MHL enabled.
As to the media, again MHL is a standard so it is not connector specific - you will need an MHL lead that connects micro USB to hdmi for the sensation to work.

[Q] Smart Phone as Android TV Dongle

I have a Samsung Infuse, screen broke, don't want to thorw a way, is there a way that I can turn into something a TV Dongle. I would like to use the benifits of its wifi as well. Is it possible or a ROM available that would allow me to connect via my USB port on my TV?

if the phone has usb otg get a hdmi adapter for it then you could plug it in the tv.
Click thanks if helped

what I want is to give it the capabilties of a TV Dongle. The touch pad is broke non responsive. It just seems like a waste of hardware. The TV dongles are basically a Smart Phone (omit the phone). Is there anyway to make this work. A custome ROM maybe that kills the phone but makes use of all else?

I9505: how to connect to TV and use a pendrive?

Hi guys!
I've just bought a new S4 (I9505) and I'd like to connect it to my Sony Full HD TV via HDMI... the official Samsung cable is the only choice we have or is there some aftermarket cable that works fine?
I'd like to connect my USB pendrive to the S4 so I can copy files from one side to another... what about that?
Thanks!

Use the Allshare cast dongle, HDMI over WiFi.
Or buy Samsung's smart dock. I think it has HDMI + charging + 2 USB ports.

Agreed.
Also, Google before you ask. This could have been found 0.68 seconds.
Thanks.

connecting usb pendrive is easy. Just get an OTG usb adaptor. There's already built in support in the phone so you won't even have to install another 3rd party app to get it to recognize yr usb pen drive.

[Q] Connecting LG Optimus G Pro E988 to TV

Hi,
I just bought a LG Optimus G Pro E988 Phone in India. I want to connect it to my HD TV, but was unable to do so with a micro USB to HDMI Cable. I tried looking up at the settings to mirror or extend my display on my phone to TV, but did not find anything related to it. I also tried connecting my data cable to the USB port on my TV, that was not recognized either. Can anyone suggest me a way to connect them (my TV is not the latest SMART TV with wifi connectivity)?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to connect your LG Optimus G Pro to yout TV, you have to use only SlimPort adapter and male-male HDMI cable. About SlimPort adapter you can find on web. How to connect your phone to TV via SlimPort adapter you can find on web (YouTube etc.). You can not connect your phone to TV directly via HDMI cable or via MHL adapter.
