Not sure if they all work. Anyone got any recommendations of what I should (or shouldn't) use? Looking at amazon (I'm a prime member, free 2-day shipping). This is the one I'm look to use.
that one is only for sound. thats a 3.5mm to rca(red and white). you want a 3.5mm to rca(yellow red and white.). so you can use it for video out.
HERE'S the one i just ordered. its gonna arrive for me tomorrow, i can let you know how it works.
I got one on eBay for $2.50. I'll post my findings as well once I get the cable.
Awesome, thanks. Just bought the same one. Now I just got to find a half decent media player to go with it.
no problem. it was the same one they used in a review of the captivates video out which seemed to work really well. have you tried rockplayer for movies? i've found the captivates default video player works pretty good. and the music players pretty nice too.

Thanks for the review. As for video players, the default doesn't remember position (unless it's a setting I haven't found) and I just got rockbox, so haven't tried it too hard yet.

I saw those, but between the fact that they aren't out yet, $4 for the RCA cable is fine for a holdover, and I don't think we know what those cables will transmit. I know there are restrictions on what the other HDMI equipped phones can play through to the TV.

My head unit doesn't accept HDMI
Anyone know if there's a cable that will convert video it from the 3.5mm jack to a female ipod? A lot of newer workout machines have monitors, but they only have an ipod dock/cable.
Internet search ftw
Amazon has one. Can't link.
Edit: Looks unavailable but they exist somewhere.

I see the option in settings, anyone test it on the vibrant and what cable was used? I was at CompUSA formerly known as tiger-direct and they did not have any cables to test.
So any suggestions?
samsung has one on their accessories page for the galaxy s, but it's backordered.

but next time do a little searching this has been brought up like 2-3 other times, the vibrant is pretty new so there aren't a lot of discussions yet, if you would have looked for a good 2 minutes at least you would have already found the answer to this, try searching first so we can keep the noobish threads down to a minimum

Hi
You have a video test at this link : frandroid.com/23578/samsung-galaxy-s-la-sortie-audiovideo-avec-le-jack-35mm/
And you can find the cable on ebay, it s not a specific cable for SGS.

I have one too, it came with a video camera I own. I thought it didn't work either, but it turns out the Red connector was the video out (instead of the Yellow). I remember reading that someone else saw the same thing with their cable.
How is the quality on a HD display? I'm a little concerned that it is not an hdmi cable.
didn't work, turned it on before plugging the cable in.
I'll try swapping the red and yellow like mentioned above

Radio Shack
I picked mine up from the local Radio Shack and it works great the quality was as good as it gets for non-hd. (not listed on their website, but they have it in the stores) Part#1603686 With this cable the red is the video and yellow and white are sound. Amazon also sells the exact same cable for cheaper. In the store it is $29.99 on amazon it is $9.95. Beware what cable you buy because from trial and error I found out that some cables will not work no matter what way you switch the colors (they look exactly the same but the wiring to the jack is different). There is a ground on some cables that bridges the audio and video pins on the phone and just causes a buzzing no matter how you plug them in.

*On a side note I was ticked to find out that they block you from playing the Avatar movie through the video out. Probably so you don't hook it to a DVD recorder, but still I should be able too watch a movie I own on any device I want. I just wanted to watch in on a bigger screen. Oh well.

I think that is way off lol. It's probably because of the backorder. They might not be accepting any more orders until their first orders are filled.
ok lol making sure cause that seemed a lil odd to me but ok i can deal without a cable anyway
Here is the cable for $4 plus shipping on Monoprice.

That is not the right cable! The cable 6160 uses s-video for the video and the 3.5mm for sound only. The 3.5mm end needs to have 3 seperators and if you look in the pic it only has 2 which makes it an audio connection only. It says that in the product description that I pasted below.
This is S-Video/3.5mm to Composite/Stereo Combo Cable.
Video Connector : S-video to Composite RCA (Provides Video)
Audio Connector : 3.5mm to Stereo RCA (Red/White) (Provides Audio Only)

The reason I ask, is because I would like to buy a pico projector for use as a HUD display for my car. Also, I have a vulkano and the vulkano app installed. So when parked I would like to be able to connect something like this to watch my home cable over my homemade HUD. But from the you tube reviews, it seems as if it will only do stored content, not streaming content. If this won't work, can someone point me in the direction of something that will? If I need to clarify something, just let me know.
Thats a sweet idea if you can get it to work, but that thing is pricey. I believe the microUSB port is actually a port (can't remember name) that is compatible with microUSB (charging, syncing, etc) but also supports HDMI. If so, that would work better wouldn't it?
I was wondering this as well. I am coming from an INC and the video out cable worked well for my screens in my Tahoe. I would love to find something to get a video out signal on my TBolt. I was a few minutes from pulling the trigger on the media link myself.
Anyone have any first hand experience with the Thunderbolt?

I saw a pdf. That seems to support this, but I have yet to see the cable itself materialize. I was listed as an accessory, but so was the dock and induction charger that have yet to drop. At this point I won't wait for anything that is supposed to come from Verizon.

HAHA that absolutely will NOT work. First off, the first link is for a mini hdmi, not micro. Second, the second cable you posted only works with one particular video card, otherwise it will not work.
You cannot simply just convert hdmi (digital) to s-video (analog) with a cable. You need a downconverter, and they are not cheap.

i know htc sells usb to s-video for certian phones.. i found the cables on amazon. can i go usb to s-video instead on the evo?
Oh my bad. I thought there was only one smaller than regular hdmi...I'm not a video expert but they must make these "converters" to smash hopes and dreams because anyone who thinks logically would have thought the same as me.
But from what I know of home audio systems...if you by chance had a home theater receiver with hdmi inputs, you could theoretically use any video out associated with your input(but since I have yet to own an hdmi capable receiver idk if they downscale)

Yea, some receivers will downconvert from hdmi to composite/svideo, but i'm not sure which ones will do that.

I want to make sure the MHL works since I haven't purchased an adapter yet or if any other members are on the fence or who don't have the cash themselves. I'd like the thread to be a reference that it does or does not work and hopefully sort out what adapters, OEM or aftermarket, may or may not work and if there is a difference between them.

Thanks. Good to know. It makes you wonder why other people didn't get it to work with the same adapter. Perhaps they didn't plug in the charger?
Bought a cheap cable 9£ also on Ebay, plugged my charger and the HDMI side on my 60 inch TV and it worked fine.
Sound/Video.
Tried games/ Plex etc... all good.
Just bought 2 from Mertiline... i'm new here and cannot post link so here's product code #0005278. Price is 9.99 but if you buy 2 you'll get at 8.50 each. They're working good, i've just watch 720p video that i took with my T989D and quality is very nice.
That's cool. Im thinking of getting one too. Didn't know they were so reasonable.

Im using the samsung one..really great quality. was $20.00 @ frys i think?..read somewhere that some third party MHL adapters messed the phone up so i decided to use the factory recommended one:good:
i remember seeing the mertiline deal...was about to jump on it, until i realize it doesn't allow me to plug in the charger. I think I'll be ordering one from monoprince that adds an inline USB charging port. But good to see the video quality is good via the converter.
Quality
How is the quality? I want to use mine to watch youtube and downloaded videos on my TV. Is the quality comparable to connecting my laptop to my tv via hdmi.

Sorry for the delay, i could not say is comparable to HDMI with your laptop but it's still very nice to watch. I tried youtube videos, WMV, AVI, and 720P MKV Videos without problem,...You can notice some small blur when there.s a lot of movements in the videos. Maybe the Original Samsung Adapter is better than this one, i don't know i don't have one in my hand to compare...

I ordered an mhl adapter off eBay with inline charger ... but it doesn't seem to work... it charges my phone but I get nothing on my television... :/ I have it on proper input .... is there something I am missing?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I've read other threads saying the ones from e-bay it's a hit and miss... some works some don't!!!
Did you try to reboot while it is plugged ?
I bought the cheapest one I could find for like $5 and it works great. The adapter doesn't seem to work with any of the JellyBean roms, just ICS and lower if that helps.
whenever i use my sgs2 with a MHL adapter the phone goes into 'auto rotation out of control mode' when i switch inputs on the target device. i'm sure it has something to do with it losing HDMI sync, but i've never seen a fix for it which is so damn annoying.
other than that it's pretty nifty.
