Is there any way to get video-out working on the mesmerize and showcase or is the hardware just not there?
there is no hardware anywhere on the board that supports video out. if you had the time, money and knowledge to open it up, put the right connectors and hardware, ports, everything and then write drivers to make it work then it could be possible potentially.

I have a Samsung 6000 series LED tv and am able to play videos by simply connecting via usb cable.

I don't think it's possible, but at the same time I'm really not sure. I haven't worked much with it. Just doesn't seem possible.

My compliments on the descriptive title and problem statement.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. What is the problem? "it don't work" is not much to go on
2. What have you tried? Again, a little information can help those trying to help you
3. Try searching - there are many threads on using cables for TV-out (especially in the accessories forum - that is a hint).
Did you enable TV out in the Sounds and Display menu?

I've never used the TV out capability of the Captivate but this link may help you.

I do know you have to enable TV out from the Display menu. Settings->Display->TV out, then you select TV out on or off.
Mike
Make sure it's enabled and if it doesn't work try switching the colors. Some cables you'll have to use red or white for video.

Anyone know of a way to hook up an external camera, perhaps to the USB port? Maybe for video calling?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Why would you do that you have a front facing camera....smh... and no your phone can't do that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Actually I thought of a work around....smh...no faith. And not specifically the skyrocket. Gotta think outside the box to see the reason for a miniture camera that can video call.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
How are you gonna build a driver to recognize an input device like that on top of making it recognize a video input over USB and then activate it based on app demand when apps don't natively support it so you would have to trick the phone into thinking its the ffcamera seems like an awful lot of work for something built in already IMO.

Like I said...think outside the box. Bring the camera out or make a daisey chain with a simple switch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I thought of that after I posted it...then I was thinking it would be easier to extend the camera out and have it functional.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
The easiest way to do it, I thing is to use the Eye-Fi connect SD card in you camera. ( http://goo.gl/dxXK ) and especially the Mobile X2.
There is an app for android. I never used it but I read a lot on it lately and it seems really interesting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468531
don't think this does what you want but there ya go
I was thinking about being able to do video chat with someone but be able to have the camera pinned to my jacket or something slllowing person I'm talking to see what I'm seeing. Extending the lens out is easiest thing I can think of. Will check out those links though.
Thanks guys

What do you mean by "broken?" Do you mean that you can only use the USB connector for charging?
No, it's broken it won't charge or connect to the computer it was broken when I bought it if I play with the cord it says it's charging icon pops up but you can see it drop while it's plugged in that tells me that it's broken i may get it fixed one day but until then I just mess around with it its still a decent phone to play with + I don't have my computer either its in the shop being repaired.

LOL. He knows it's broken. He's asking if there is a way to root without USB.
OP
There is no way that I know of to root without a USB connection. Sorry man. I bet you could have a decent repair shop replace it for under 50 bucks though.
I was reading an found you could root froyo can't find the link though in xda app supposedly you modify recovery and flash kernel for froyo but I can't figure it out does any know what I'm asking hope I'm making sense

Your still gonna need the USB working tough. To modify recovery you need either ADB or ROOT. So like I said not gonna happen. Sorry
Is there a trick to get video output from the blaze? hdmi or vga or anything at all? I'm surprised because it works on the galaxy S and I though they were almost identical phones except for the processor.

Actually, the Tmobile GS2 has the exact same processor (the 'normal' gs2 soc doesn't support hspa+42 and tmobile wanted the higher network speed over higher clock). From what I understand, there is no way to get video out of the blaze.
If you are trying to play it on pc there are a few software apps that can stream like VLC and such. TV... pretty screwed. I hear even the mhl adapters arent working for our phones either. Sorry
With Android 4.2 is a feature called Miracast or something close to that, pretty much just lets you stream to WiFi TVs.
True we are screwed. I was under the impression there was no MHL support on the blaze, and thus, it will never work.

Has anyone tried plugging flash drive into the phone with a mircousb to USB female?
I wanna get a converter but if HDMI doesn't work, I doubt that connecting external storage would work...

I haven't tried it (but can tomorrow), but I don't see why external storage wouldn't work. What you'd want is a USB on the go adapter to basically act as a host-mode interface for the phone to the storage.
I bought one of these adapters for less than $1 a piece, shipped. Well, I guess actually I bought 3 (they were really cheap) because I wanted to play with all sorts of things, including controlling my DSLR with one of those DSLR apps
Using this method and a USB hub, there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to successfully add all sorts of stuff like extra storage, mouse, keyboard, etc.
Mind you the host OS (read: ROM) has to support it. CM should support most of that out of the box. I don't know about stock based roms.
Yea I was gonna get it for my camera and other things but wasn't sure if it was capable of doing it.
I remember how on my Samsung Vibrant, the TV-Out feature worked by plugging a RCA cable to the headphone jack...It doesn't work on the blaze though. Just FYI
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Sure are a lpt pf TV-out and OTG files in ALL the roms........
USB OTG should work fine. That is built ib and works for me with a powered hub.
I tried compiling MHL support into the kernel, which works, but nothing on the TV. I think there are parts missing in the ROM for it to work.
Ok, i would like to monitor my phone. I dont know what the best way to do this. I would like to set up a console through my computer. If necessary, i can use another monitor via micro-usb to hdmi.
honestly, any feedback would be much appreciated

Do you mean monitor as in always see the "systems health", or actually see the devices whole output on a larger screen?

I know how to get it to a larger screen, jus wondering if i could monitor the health i guess from another screen. Also if somebody could link me to a place where i could use my computer to control my phone/tablet. Unfortulently i have a verizon htc one.
