Is there anyway to get the 3.5mm RCA Video-Out cable working on the Epic 4g? I'm currently running Bonsai4all 4.0. I just bought the cable and I can only get the audio to play over the TV but no video. I've tried many different media player apps thinking that might have something to do with it but they all lead to the same results... Is there a custom ROM out yet that enables this or is it a hardware issue? Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Not yet. Maybe not ever. But we hope.
Is their any way of tv out?
I m think of selling my x10(if anyone buys it) and getting arc,neo,play
so is their tv out by something like micro usb to hdmi?
Ooh and 2.3.4 brings 720p?
We are aware that this feature is something which users have queries in regards to and why this is not supported by the Xperia Play.
The reason that HDMI capabilities were not featured in the handset hardware upon release are due to the fact that the handset initially did not have the ability to record videos in HD unlike other Xperia handsets such as the Arc and Neo which did have this ability. As the handset was unable to record in a HD format, it was deciding to not include a HDMI output. The handset however will soon receive an update to the Android 2.3.4 operating system and will then be able to record in HD. This was not possible upon release and so HDMI was not included.
We can also advise that the handset doesn't have the hardware capacities to use a USB to HDMI cable which would allow HDMI output via your charging port. This hardware is called Mobile High Definition Link which is sadly not supported by the Xperia Play and cannot be changed via a Software update.
We would like to apologise that we are unable to assist further in regards to your query. However, we will pass your feedback onto the relevant department.

Thanks @Lono9885
Several users (including me) have been discussing TV out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296048
In short, there is currently not a good way and the Xperia Play does not have the hardware capability to do mini-HDMI/micro-USB to HDMI.
There are development possibilities however:
+Video out via headphone jack using stereo to RCA (three color-red/white/yellow) cable, similar to how some nokia phons and digital cameras/camcorders do
+Wireless streaming of the display to a receiving unit (PS3/computer/cable box/Smart TV)
+Standard micro-usb to usb to hdmi adapter (reference the Nexus One usb host mode hack)

I need to replace my Xperia Play headphones and I have been looking online. How do I know if they will work with my Play?
I am looking at these 3 right now. But I am open to any suggestions as long as it is around 45$ with shipping to Canada.
Sony MDR-EX210B
Sony MDR-EX77S
Altec Lansing MZX406
My ideal solution would be something that works with Play and any other future device I own. What headset would you guys recommend and also are there any cheap adaptors if I end up wanting something that wont work with the play.
Also does the Sony Livesound Hifi headset works with other non-sony devices.
Thanks so much to anyone that helps. I want to make an order soon so it ships asap so please help

As of Sony ones, see the compatibility list on their webpage.
As of any other, they most surely won't work as far as they have a buit-in mic.
Now, if you get a headset (not headphone) compatible with your Play, they will only work on SonyEricsson phones, some Nokia and some Samsung before the Galaxy S.
You can buy an adapter, but... well, see this and this.
Any headphones made for the iPhone (including controls, a mic) like the Altec ones won't work. The Sony ones should be fine.
Hi, I have read the thread about AKG Q460 and android (Headset Button Controller and Klipsch Control) but does someone have experience with the AKG K451 headphones, which has also an in-line microphone, as well as volume control?
AKG says "* Remote control and microphone supported by iPod nano (4th generation and later), iPod classic (120GB/160GB), iPod touch (2ndgeneration and later), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad and iPad 2. Remote control supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation and later). May require latest software version on device."
Can someone explain how is this working only on apples?
I się to this akg about 3y ago all work`d perfect as my new jays a jays 4 all works smooth and clear . Love this bass =) remote controle works too!
Cheers!

I'm sorry babicz99, but your post isn't clear to me, so I'll try to be more specific :
I'd like to know if the AKG K451 can work with Headset Button Controller, and if all THREE buttons in the K451 remote are supported and programmable via HBC.
For the record I have an Xperia Arc S, and I'd like to buy a K451 to go with it. But I need all three buttons to remain functional.
I've found some info here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767954 ) on Android key mapping files, but I'd like to avoid such manipulations if possible. So I hope HBC can be enough to make a K451 work as expected with an Android phone like my Arc S.
Can somebody please answer this question ? Thanks.

Also, look on Play for 'headset control app' or something to that effect. It's a paid app but worth the couple bucks.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the instructions. However, the author explains that it doesn't work on Xperia Play. Which makes me think that it won't work on my Xperia Arc S...
As for Headset Button Controller, I already know the app, I have even chatted with the developer. Unfortunately HBC can't do miracles. The problem comes from the deeper levels of the OS (Linux driver). It probably could be solved... if someone really wished to solve it.
Hi,
i've just got those headphones (akg k451) on my birthday. they sounds fantastic, i love them but microphone on headset doesn't work with my lg l9 on android i know the headphones are designed for apple devices but it was written on forums that only volume buttons don't work with android.
Please, can anyone help me? I need headset to work.
If you want these for Android then buy k452, same model but buttons work with Android.

I've got them already - they are my bday gift. I need some solution for the k451 model. I don't want to buy another headphones. The most important is to make microphone working.
I really don't know why it's not working on android. I tried it on my pc and it works.
droid uses a simple resistor ladder to differentiate button presses. İphone however is not open. Also i tried to measure iphone remote bur seemed not as simple they may have used more complex circuitry with semiconductors. But i have a nice solution for you. You can use the stock remote controller with the AKG cable. I made mine like that. Or if i was a chineese businessman i would produce replacement cables for android.
Just wanted to let everyone know that Sony Xperia ION on stock Roger's ROM 4.0.4 works 100% with Pioneer AppRadio 2(SPH-DA100). I bought AR Liberator and it also works perfectly. Will shoot a short video and pics soon.
Just got my new AppRadio 3 and it does work! Needed to buy the Pioneer cable set seperately to get both Micro USB and HDMI outputs to the stereo. I don't know if it's worth spending 35 bucks for one app though
Rogers ion L28i running 6.2.B.0.211 generic for L28h, debloated, rooted, deodexed and sim unlocked running on Wind
