If microUSB is like miniUSB that only has 5 (or even 6) wires/pins, there is no HDMI output from it. The extra wires/pins is reserved for audio out based on the fact that Samsung official home dock and car dock use only the microUSB port for both charging and audio output.

As for some said DLNA server is good enough: it is not. If you're at your own home, there is really no need for watching video out of your phone via DLNA. Chances are you already have them on your home servers.

A HDMI output is really useful when you travel as more and more hotels now equipped with flat screen HDTVs. You can watch your favourite movie on the big screen. Obviously DLNA won't help you in this case.
[Captivate Accessories] LGSilva:
If the cable failed then it's not just "get the correct pin-out". You will need software/drivers that get the video/audio output, redirects it to the usb port as data so some other circuit on the cable/box will convert to hdmi signal.

May be just a lack of software/drivers or hardware or both.
[Captivate Accessories] LGSilva:
double post - I blame the interwebs
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
One other thing to remember....

HDMI has a component called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection or HD copy protection) - this is a whole key exchange hand shake between 2 HDMI devices. If this is not implemented in hardware or software then no cable will work. It is not something you can just fake either - I am assuming the manufacturers are paying for a key like they do with BluRay and DVD players.
[Captivate Accessories] flybob:
I got a cable right here next to me, micro USB to HDMI. I have not tested it yet on any phones at all, but the target is Samsung Galaxy S. This cable is a sample that i ordered from a factory over in Asia, a simple longshot... but they have used the same cable for another phone model over there that actually produces the proper output.

So the cable works for some non-samsung phone, my tests will see if it works for Samsung Galaxy S. If it does, there will be much joy. Indeed.
[Captivate Accessories] Turkeybird:
I have an HDMI cable!

I bought the Samsung brand micro usb to hdmi cable from daydeal.com and tried it. I think that it should work. There doesn't seem to be any software on the phone to support it. When I plug it in I expected it to say something (hdmi out: ok/cancel), but it does nothing. I also bought a generic 3.5mm headphone to composite (yellow, red, white) cable on ebay. Neither cable give audio or video. I think that there was an ota update or something that removed the program for video out. If someone could extract the video out software from the Galaxy S GT-I9000 phone and port it over to the Epic 4g somehow I think we can get this working. Imagine how great this would be with a pico projector! While we're at it, why not extract and port over the FM radio receiver program from that phone and get our fm tuners working too.

BTW, daydea.coml emailed me a couple days ago sayig that Samsung recalled my hdmi cable and that they want me to mail it back for a full refund within 30 days. There has to be a solution. I only have 30 days and I want to keep this thing if someone can get the software.
[Captivate Accessories] ricethief:
Did you have the "TV Out" setting enabled in the phone settings? The 3.5mm to composite should work. The microUSB to HDMI probably will not work. I hope it does, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Some Composite cables work and some do not. I have one that shipped with my canon HD camcorder and it works great (yellow and red reversed though) - I have another cable that shipped with a portable DVD player that does not work at all.

There was NO OTA update that disables this. Also there is no Video Out program, just a check box mentioned above to enable composite out.
[Captivate Accessories] mesasone:
This is not accurate. HDMI SUPPORTS HDCP. You can use HDMI to display content with out HDCP, but if the display (and of course the source) do not support HDCP you won't be able to display HDCP-encrypted content.

Also, you second statement is not correct either as HDCP key was recently cracked - confirmed by Intel (the developer of HDCP). But that is not an appropriate discussion for this forum.
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
A generic 3.5mm to RCA video out cable won't work because the Captivate video out is not connected that way. The 3.5mm port has normal Audio L/R out plus Mic/Video out. A normal generic 3.5mm to RCA cable will probably only connects to L/R contacts. You need the plug that has extra contact.

The video out is a check box in settings menu.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Right, but even then, not all are the same. With 4 connectors (Audio L & R, Video, Ground) and 3 cables (Audio L, Audio R, Video) you would think that any 3 cable to RCA 3.5mm would work - but i have 2 that don't and one that does. One of them had no video at all, the other had a green lined video - could not make out what it was. It was the same no matter which cable was hooked to video.

There must be some differences in the plugs - they line up the same, but something is different.
[Captivate Accessories] Lobizon:
(please excuse my english, not my natural language)

You're right. I have a 3.5mm to 3 RCA Nokia cable (the one that came with N95) and I was getting scrambled audio and video. No matter wich cable I plugged into sound or video, nothing seemed to change.

I thought that maybe Nokia's cable had some propietary pinout or something. Or maybe Samsung was doing the same thing on the phone. So I bought a cheap cable, hooked up and.... Again scrambled video and sound...

WTF?... I started to believe my Captivate had his TV out damaged some how.

Searching the web, I found some guy was having exactly the same problem (but with his I9000 I think) ... And he found out that some cables (or phones, don't know) had the ground inverted. I then proceed to teardown my cable, inverted ground... And voilá! It worked.

Sadly, I destroyed my cable beyond repair :D .

I bought the same cheap cable in the same place, taken form the same shelf, and some RCA plugs to build my own cable. When I arrived home, don't know exactly why but I gave this cable another try before start soldering. Guess what?. This time it WORKED. The only thing is that video comes trough red plug (instead of yellow).

There you go...
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
yes, the ground may indeed be different. There is a long thread in i9000 forum about this. But from what I read, captivate has different layout than i9000.

3.5mm Audio Video to RCA Cable

I had a 3.5mm to RCA A/V cable from my old Sony Camcorder that I tried. I had the same problem with the Red and Yellow plugs being swapped. My assumption was that the Sony cable was proprietary as everything else that Sony releases is their own crappy spin off (i.e. - Memory Sticks, the "Pop-Port" on their phones, etc.). I went to Radio Shack and picked up a "standard" cable and found it was the exact same way ...video and right channel audio were swapped. I am guessing this is how Samsung manages to get the microphone input on that same port but this makes me curious if the RCA plugs on the Samsung cable are different than on a standard cable.
[Captivate Accessories] ZenInsight:
I have the Samsung Epic. I bought the Nokia CA-75U which supposedly is guaranteed to work. Of course when I went to plug them in and nothing came up I was confused. Then I checked the display settings and there is no option for TV out at all. I heard the option was there when the phone was first released...the first firmware. I don't know enough to hack a firmware but I wish the option would be added back in. Every TV has composite. Only some have HDMI. If anyone knows anything about this situation PLEASE tell me whats going on. I am SO disappointed this feature is missing.
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
You should ask this quesiton in Epic forum. Captivate and Epic has different firmware. And we do have TV out option in all the firmwares so far.
[Captivate Accessories] hoffmmd:
Any chance anyone has tried the microUSB to HDMI cable with the leaked 2.2 (Froyo) build?
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
I hope this gets sorted out. and I how that means that there will be support for hdmi, I now have a couple devices set up with dlna but media hub movies don't play through all share. kinda defeats the purpose. I mean I guess its cool if you want to take a long flight or bus or train trip but if you buy a movie and can't play it anywhere but your phone what's the point? for the price of media hub I can buy the dvd, and for a bit more I can get a blue ray with dvd and digital copy that I can put on my phone. without a way to output at least dvd quality media hub isn't very useful. composite video just won't cut it. well all I can hope for now is a netflix app or hdmi cable.

Idk if this brings hope for anyone but one of my own customers hooked up his epic to our hdtv and streamed micro usb to hdmi both video and sound, i watched this with my own 2 eyes, he "claims" his epic was stock, I've yet to try mine cause we don't carry the cable and he had brought his own
[Captivate Accessories] oswade:

BTW was reading that topic, someone posted a link to this http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-AUM3SBEBXAR

[Captivate Accessories] furiousrcj:
TV out with the samsung vibrant

Hi I found out a way to do this with an old rca camcorder cable that I had. From what I understand, you can also purchase the ones that fit the iphone or zune, and they should work as well. The trick is, that you have to plug the red output into the yellow video input, the white output into the red input, and the yellow output into the white input for the video and audio to work. Seems like Samsung just switched the connectors to make everyone buy their proprietary cables. Give it a try and see if it works for you! Happy streaming!

It's called an MHL port and the SGS never got it. If it had one Samsung would advertise this, you can be sure about that.

The SGS2 on the other hand has it. You can read all about the port here

and the nokia ca156 cable isnt mini hdmi but the ca157 is but it still wont work!
[Captivate Accessories] m4f1050:
Sad day for me, just found out I don't have HDMI out on my Epic. But I read someone got it to work with "TV Out" via 3.5mm jack.

Can this person give more info as to what cable was used? Switching the cables red (+) and yellow (+) did the trick? Couldn't I get a 3.5mm jack from radio shack with 4 connectors and do the same without having a nasty black tape tumor on the cable? :D

Im wanting to try cm6. So im going to have to reroot through simpleroot for cm6. My question is if I take a nand backup of my current running system , is restoring it as simple as running recovery and selecting restore? I've rooted devices before just never have ran diffrent roms than stock ones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Yes it is. You probably want to do a data and cache wipe before restoring, just to be safe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankenstein\:
Yes and no. If you do a nand of your unrevoked rooted phone then do full root then decide to restore your old rom you will wind up with unrevoked back instead of a full root rom running on top of the engineering hboot which allows for unlocking nand. You would probably be better off flashing another 2.1 based rooted rom even if it's a stock rooted ver rather than going back to unrevoked.
