If you are getting a scrambled picture, partially pull out the plug from the phone. It seems to work fine on my generic cable so long as its not inserted in all the way.

Tried it, no improvement. Picture is either scrambled or none at all.

TV out Galaxy S

Use CA-75U nokia cable and it works;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] antsm:
As i said earlier in this thread, i've got CA-75U from DealExtreme and it buzzes too.

So, there is probably two reason:

1) Not every CA-75U is good enough ;)

2) This is a hardware bug of some Galaxy S

To confirm it, we need a someone, who have won a buzzing (by using another cable: original or some kind of OEM).

For now, there is no reports like "I had a buzzing sound, but I have replaced the TV-cable to the XXX / YYY / ZZZ and the buzzing stopped!"

As for me, i tried to use 2 cables: CA-75U from DX, and selfmade cable. And both of them are buzzing.

In this case, i have more and more reason to suppose, that it's a phone hardware bug.

Hey, people!

So... I just bought the original cable from a totally bizarre site from Korea, and, for my surprise, the shipment arrived! With a little late, yes, but it's ok. I was already accepting the fact that I had lost my money anyway.

So, here goes the link: [censored] -> Ok, I can't post links yet, so go to exportprive.com and see by yourselves.

Yes! Exportprive.com direct from Korea! Haha!

...and no, I didn't tested the cable yet. :P Should do this tonight.

I also bought the Solozen hard case with stand and a steinheil fingerprint and screen protector (which I couldn't put on without getting dust in between the film and the screen... :P).

It all arrived in one piece! Very good service! I also opted for the airmail service (the cheaper one), which took about two or three weeks.

So, that's my testmonial. Hope it could be useful for you guys! :D

And as soon as I test the cable, I'll post it here telling my experience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ru-dmitry:
Here is a right TV out cable pinout for Samsung Vibrant, Captivate and Epic 4G.

On i9000 3 and 4 pins are swapped (I cannot confirm this as I own Captivate).

Just check your cable with a tester.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sshvetsov:
Hmm... This seems to be different from what I found on pinouts.ru: http://pinoutsguide.com/CellularPhones-P-W/samsung_galaxy_vidout_pinout.shtml

The ground and video pins are swapped.

Time to test it for myself. I wish I had a multimeter on hand... Oh well, I'll improvise.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sshvetsov:
Sorry, I completely missed the part where you said i9000 has pins 3 and 4 swapped compared to Captivate. It's strange, but quite possible that pinout on i9000 and Captivate is different.

From the accounts I've read on this forum and according to pinouts.ru / pinoutsguide.com i9000 has the following pinout:

|----|-----|-----|-----\

|----|-----|-----|-----/

_4____3____2___1

1 - white (left audio channel)

2 - red (right audio channel)

3 - yellow (video)

4 - shield (ground)

According to your diagram Captivate has the following pinout:

1 - white (left audio channel)

2 - red (right audio channel)

3 - shield (ground)

4 - yellow (video)

This seems to be consistent with my experience using Captivate and TV-out cable from WD TV Live. I tested it just now and it has the following pinout:

1 - yellow (video)

2 - white (left audio channel)

3 - red (right audio channel)

4 - shield (ground)

Using this cable with Captivate I get scrambled image no mater which plug (red/white/yellow) I use, which makes sense if Captivate sends video signal to pin 4, the shield of all three plugs instead of the center conductor of just one. The conclusion I can make from this is that Nokia's CA-75U will not work for my Captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Norgando:
Solved it!

Just discovered this thread, haven't read it through completely, but have been frustrated seeing tv out demo'd on youtube and not being able to achieve it myself. I had tried three different brands of cable, fiddled with using the red rca in the yellow video slot, wiggled the pin in the jack, etc, all to no avail. I wondered if I had a hardware issue? Software issue? Couldn't get the cord off Samsung US, couldn't find it through Samsung Canada. FRUSTRATED.

HOWEVER, I searched for the cord on ebay and found a Hong Kong seller pricing it at US $4.88, including postage! I took a chance and... IT WORKS. Only took 2 weeks to get here (Vancouver, BC). It has the SAMSUNG label engraved on it for what it's worth. Just came in a basic zip-loc bag with no label or backing.

I'd list the seller but I noticed she had sold out when I went back to ebay to make a favourable comment. I'm sure I saw other comparable offers that you can search to locate. The youtube demo vids give you the impression that any old cord will do, but maybe there is something proprietary about them after all.

This, btw, is headphone jack (3.5mm) to rca.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] napster_doom:
Generally mobile phones TV out port (not HDMI) is located in the 3.5mm headset jack.I am using this port from the first days of my SGS.

To connect my SGS to TV, I am using Nokia TV out cable which works just great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sci05:
Is that the one people are talking about from dealextreme? Heard there are issues about a buzzing sound. If you didn't get it from there do you have a link to the place where you got yours
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ClowReed:
Guys, take a look at my previous reply. It's true. I've bought the original one from exportprive.com and it looks good on low definition tv. Must test it on hd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bluepower:
Hello guys. I bought a Nokia CA-75U cable. When I connect my SGS with this cable to my flat tv (LG) the image is black and white, i don't figured out why. I'm from Protugal, I choose the PAL system on my SGS and nothing, i can see the image with no problems but in black and white.

Do anyone can tell/help me with this, if possible?

Thanks in advanced

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mithunjo:
Saw some posts a few pages earlier that mentioned about the low volume issues while watching videos through TV out. Using the Audio boost 2 app on market will solve this problem. Works fine for me..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mithunjo:
I have the CA-75U, got it based on the opinions online that it works fine with the Galaxy S. But I must say I am not that impressed with the picture quality. There is visible flickering when you look at the homescreen. When you watch a video, there are parts of the screen that look as though they are "smudgy". In other words picture quality is below par . (I've used an ipod classic and an ipod AV cable with the same TV and the movies are displayed fine, so i dont think its the problem with TV)

So the question, is this really the best TV Out Cable for the Galaxy S out there?? Is there any way at all to fix the above mentioned issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sonof:
Thanks but I already solved the problem with the new Voodoo Sound kernel (actually I use the Hardcore who implemented Voodoo Sound to his kernel) :) It is super great and makes TV-out much louder!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hilta:
How can i get that?

I have the latest darkyy 8.1 and he said the output volume is higher but i dont see any of that+ that it has the voodoo sound driver.

How do i install it manually?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sonof:
If you have the voodoo sound driver, then just install Voodoo App from Market and use the Headphone amp settings there to increase the volume.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Nirvana388:
I ordered this one:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...782736&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2877wt_782

It arrived 2 days ago and works just fine, though it is somewhat sensitive to being knocked around, but not bad for a $5 cable. Audio sounds great using audioboost 2.

use a Nokia CA-75U 3.5mm to 3x RCA TV Out Cable these work although you may have to change the way you connect it ie red-red white - white yellow-yellow you might need red to yellow yellow to red white to white if you find the video first then audio is easy
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] franks.maia:
Did you make any test with voodoo's kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ClowReed:
I bought the original cable from samsung, and it's curious that on the box it's shipped it has some papers with the image of a cable av that instead of having a p2 connector has an usb one. But usb to hdmi I've never heard about. Interesting anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] john321:
i have the cable from the nokia N95, only tried it once but it worked great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mmm.waffles:
After going through four cables, including the Nokia CA-75U as well as a Samsung branded cable, without anything more than the typically reported scrambled image I finally found this thread. Thank you very much ru-dmitry for pointing out the pinout differences. The majority of the cables out there are the standard 1: L.Audio, 2: R.Audio, 3: Video, 4: Ground but the Captivate, i896 from Rogers in my case, has the third and fourth pins swapped. After some time hacking apart a junky cable to test out, I switched the ground and video cables on the jack, taped everything back up and FINALLY got an image.

It's not great quality and has a lot of little artifacts but for the odd movie or video I want to watch on someone's tv it's fine. This would have been much more simple if Samsung used the same jack pinout on the same series of phones. I have no idea why they would switch it up on half the models aside from having the chance to make more money off of proprietary cables in a seemingly universal format. Not well played Samsung!

IMO this is an awesome feature that they never really advertised but considering the hoops they have us jumping through just to get it working I'm glad they didn't get our hopes up on it all that much.

So, if you have a cable and can't get it working I'd suggest that instead of blindly ordering more cables in hopes it'll work just take apart the one you have now and swap the third and fourth pin wires. The hardest part is cutting it open without destroying anything (then putting it back together smoothly). A multimeter is very helpful to ensure that the soldering went well too.

I found a cable in a department store in Luxembourg.

Brand: Philips

Name: 3.5mm - 3 RCA

Part nr: SWV2232W/10

Description on the front of the package: Digital audio playback cable

Description on the back: Connect portable audio/video devices to a TV

Price: 2.95 EUR

It works perfectly.

I report just that you have problem (included Galaxy hanging) if you put or remove

the jack when the TV out is activated.

Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sci05:
I have several unbranded 3.5mm to composite out cables and they all seem to work, without any 'hacking'. The volume is a little low as many have reported, but everything seems to work out fine. only issue is that the cable only works if it is not pushed all the way in. I'll sell my extras for $5 if anyone is interested, just pm me.

I did "pimp" my SGS with Darky v10.1 (darkyrom.com) and...

Viola!

- The Voodoo Sound App and

- a perfect screen ratio for the TV Out (now its real PAL for me - no black frame anymore on my 4:3 TV) +

- the Nokia CA-75U (at Amazon for about 4€)

turns my SGS into a perfect portable Media Center.

Buzzing is still to hear (depends on how bright the SGS screen is)... but the voodoo sound maxed out on the SGS turns it 10times more quite.

Adjust the sound level always at the TV and max out the source!

There wont be a better result... but hey, i do know now a hardwarebug on the SGS ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Nattfodd:
Hi.

I got Galaxy S i9000 EU version, and i've got some problems with plug-in my phone to TV. That's what i did:

1) Bought 3.5mm jack to 2RCA cable (red and black outs)

2) Connect my phone via this cable to TV

3) Checked "TV Out" option in phone settings.

4) Choose AV output on my TV

5) Tried to change "Pal" to "NTSC" and vice versa

And TV sais that there'is no signal.

My ROM is 2.3.4 JVQ+ROOT, TV is Samsung 32' FullHD. Cable works fine with my Camera.

Is it nessesary to have special cable for galaxy s or special cable "3.5mm to 3RCA" (not 2)?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfacer:
I cant say about better but I know the cheapie I bought in ebay for like $1.99 CAD works perfect (except where the copper is poking out of the sheilding but hey why quibble) and a very similar looking cable that was likely from a camera or camcorder that I had gives me the 'almost but horrible wrong experience' I see described. I think that the spacing on the headphone jack must be slightly different.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] $ynonymou$:
Just had a go at this as I knew I already had the Nokia cable.

Don't see the banding people talk about apart from the fact that it obviously doesn't stretch the full width of the tv screen unless your watching youtube.

Full size TWiT podcasts :D

I have a Panasonic TX-P42G15B plasma and find the image is a little sharper if you select the game display mode. Took a pic but as soon as you go into the camera app the tv shows a message saying that the tv doesn't support output in that app.

Slight downside is the SD isn't great and do get slight buzz sound too. Just playing spotify through the TV but needs some home theatre speakers....
