[Fascinate Android Development] SirGatez:
At this time to the best of my testing I can find no video signal on any pin, and I have tried almost every combination possible (only 16 max possible. That is why I can not say what cable works because I have not gotten an actual video signal with one yet.

We assume the only pin we have that we can not get a signal on is video but until we prove the signal is there, I am not going to tell anyone to get Xyz cable for tv out because it will not present a signal and is the result is it isn't going to work.

Typically how these jacks work is that if a 3 pin jack is inserted and the jack supports 4 pins then pins 3&4 will short together indicating to the device only 3 pins are in use where as 4 pin will not short a connection indicating it requires 4.

A similar albit mechanical method was/is used to ensure than mono headphones play both stereo tracks mixed instead of just left or right from cassette players. If the headphones are mono then right and left short together dumping both signals into the mono headset.
[Fascinate Android Development] dangerismymiddlename.com:
Wow. How would iPod software work? Where would it run? It would allow you control the Fascinate through your reciever?

My guess is that you are referring to an Android app that responds to iPod commands that come from the reciever, and that a iPod-to-USB adapter is necessary <-- a huge guess.

I am going to search for this. Hopefully my Google-fu is up to the task.

Just to clarify: the goal of the OP is to get an NTSC or PAL signal through the headphone jack, and not a Component HD signal (which also uses RCA cables), and this hasn't been tested yet: correct?

I apologise for my ignorance here. Thank you all for your work.
[Fascinate Android Development] SirGatez:
Correct, we only have 4 pins including audio so component hd is out of the question, however the phone may support usb2hdmi which the device driver does support. However to date we have none of this working on the fascinate.

I believe everything android side is setup properly (now), and we are awaiting a kernel. Could be wrong, but I think we are on a correct path.

how long should i wait
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
18 days, 3 hours, and 46 minutes. After that you may have a problem.
[Fascinate Android Development] YoshiFan501:
seriously how long
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
If it's been going for more than an hour it ****ed up, pull the battery and odin back to stock, seriously. Why would you flash and kernel which doesn't even work yet without reading the instructions? (Oh wait...)
[Fascinate Android Development] D_Steve595:
If the kernel screws up your phone, try this.
[Fascinate Android Development] YoshiFan501:
I got it and app said beta expired
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Seems like you are going through a lot of trouble to set up something that doesn't work yet.

If/when people get it working, there will be totally different install files anyway.

The settings menu will be re-integrated into the System menu, instead of relying on a separate APK to call it.

The driver will most likely be integrated into all the different kernel variants.

Everything needed will most likely be added into every custom Fascinate ROM in existence.

The point of this story is... unless you are interested in kernel driver development, just wait a while and you will save yourself a lot of unneeded trouble. There is no guarantee that we even have the physical hardware needed to enable this feature, though there is a decent chance (at least, we hope so!).

Now that we are done with the specifics, I'd like to have a little talk about the whole situation behind this [GizmoDroid pulls out his soapbox]:

If you don't know that the robot lady voice is indicating that the kernel voodoo module is converting your rfs partitions to ext4, how long you should wait for this process to finish, or why it says that the apk says it's expired after installing it, then this thread is just plain dangerous for you. If you want to play with advanced mods that are in pre-alpha condition, then you really need read up on these things first. Otherwise, you will end up bricking your phone, you won't know what went wrong, and you definitely won't know how to fix it.

I'm not trying to stop you from messing with your phone. By all means, hack the thing into oblivion. However, there are a lot of educational threads around xda and the rest of the net, and this isn't one of them. You will learn easier and faster from other sources (and will be amongst people who enjoy educating people, instead of developers who are busy working on all the features that Samsung was too lazy to provide).

By this point, I realize that it sounds like I'm going way over the top and flaming you, but I encourage you to not read it that way. I am actually just trying to encourage you to learn. It's important for me to point out that I'm not really talking just to you (maybe you are an expert hacker but new to this platform), but also to all the other people in your same situation (which is hundreds/thousands of people). Though they may not ever read this post, maybe a few will, and after getting hooked, will go on to build the skills that will help make our devices better a few months down the road.

I was wondering this also...
[Fascinate Android Development] Jpac175:
Yeah me too
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
My guess is that SirGatez is the main one still working on it at the kernel level, and he's got a ton of stuff he is wanting to implement with is kernel. Since TVout is just one of them, it probably will be a little while before it gets seriously looked at.

He'll probably pop in here with some info before then, though.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jpac175:
Its all good Kaos said its in his v6 that's coming soon, he hasn't tested due to lack of a cable but it should work. I can't wait to test it

Hi Everyone,

Fascinate is not only missing with TV out but with FM Radio as well. Hope we get the both working & make this phone a complete one.

Nothing can then beat it.

I'm still not convinced this model can do video out. I have several cables that work with my girls captivate, but I'm still on stock rom.

There was one message I saw in my research for this functionality a whole back on another site where a user had received communication from a samsung tech that the actual necessary chip was removed/missing because they had to make room for the cdma chip.
[Fascinate Android Development] xbamf22x:
Yes, it was my lame attempt at sarcasm.

[Fascinate Android Development] mswells:
Just found some cables in a drawer. Since nobody mentioned ICS, I thought I would try it out. I toggled TV-Out on (Galaxy Setting) and measured the signals. Left/Right/Video have a voltage so I plugged the cables into my VCR; first individually to find which ones were carrying sound. The last one must then be video, right?

That said, I plugged the last one in and the video did not display. I was not able to reverse the video signal as someone mentioned before.

Also, could be that the signal strength is not strong enough to drive the input to the VCR.

This is now a time I wish I could measure the cables using an oscilloscope (or a program on PC) to see the actual signals. anybody know how I can measure signals on my PC?

So thats what allshare is for? Does it, like, work?
[Fascinate Android Development] fulaman:
Allshare is DLNA, you must have a DLNA capable device to use it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Stonent:
You can also link it to Windows Media Player if you're on the same wifi network.

I played with it for about 15 minutes one day, you can stream videos to your computer and control it using the WMP controls.

Screen mirroring didn't seem to be part of the deal though. So no big-screen piggy killing action for you.

If this helps anyone:

Some older computer video cards would not activate tv out unless the TV was plugged in to it before powering up.

With that in mind, I would focus on the RCA video cables that worked on other SGS phones.

Also if someone had both a i500 and a Captivate or other tv-out enabled phone and you were willing to take them apart, maybe you could compare the 3.5mm jack and see if they look the same and google the chips on the board to see what they do.
[Fascinate Android Development] fulaman:
Well that is the power of DLNA :) it is designed to all one to stream media wirelessly via Wi-Fi.
[Omnia II General] l3ong91:
Actually I have requested once under About XDA-developers category, but yet no reply from them. I been thinking to have a sub-forum of Omnia II Android Development like the one in HD2. This is because it is easier to browse through and also to share this big piece news with all the omnia II users over here. This also helps to prevent some XDA users to keep started out a new thread just to ask whether Android is working.

This project is a on-going project and I believe that the dev team will try their best to make this ROM completely working on our Omnia II. I think they deserved a specialised sub-forum for Android Development.
[Omnia II General] l3ong91:
Hmmm...no replies?
[Omnia II General] luisk02:
hi guys,

im a new member as well, i got my new omniaII not too long ago, in im not impressed with the windows performance so far. i wanted to know if there will be any development of an android rom any time soon, or not so soon... lol

i would like some info, and i agree with l3ong91, it would b cool to have a treat for android developments

thanks

I know how badly you want the Android subforum 13ong91. And your request is STILL under consideration with our admin team. I'll see if I can get an answer ASAP, but for now, this thread is pointless.

I can't get it to work either. I have a feeling the car dock will have the same issue.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
ugh.... i'll seriously have a ****fit if this is true. i had it in the cradle before but i dont' have a 3.5" to RCA cable laying around.. was too late to buy one. let me ask you a question though.. when you put the phone in the home dock is there anything in the status bar that indicates that you are docked? because with the car dock a little steering wheel pops up and the status bar dims and says it is in car mode. then it keeps the screen on for the duration. however the dock no longer enables the "car dock" software that i installed way back when, before it was pulled from the market. i have no problem with that as the software sucked. anyway i was hopign that that the status indicator was an indication that the audio woudl get routed correctly.
[Epic 4G General] Digitaltigre:
I had the dock audio working intermittently on a D17 ROM i believe. Have you ever gotten it to work? I bet if more people had the OEM dock this problem would have a proper community solution by now. Perhaps we could take up a collection to buy a willing dev a dock.
[Epic 4G General] mykie242:
I just tested both my car dock and desktop dock...

Results are not promising, folks.

I plug my phone into the desktop dock, the phone acts like its charging. Plugged into the car dock, the steering wheel appears in the notification bar, but audio is still routed out of the phone speaker.

This sucks, Samsung. Another promise unfulfilled.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
ok this is just upsetting. i paid fifty bucks for that damn car mount a while ago. its the main thing i wanted from this update!

did that samsung john guy completely dissapear? i'd love to blow up his inbox
[Epic 4G General] juanaraya92679:
That sucks that the audio out still doesn't work. Alternative is just positioning the phone wth the audo and usb ports on the other side of the mount and not using the usb adaptee that is attached to the mount.

yeah but i wouldn't have spent fifty dollars to do that

Thusfar I've noticed that the transition from landscape to portrait and vice versa seems a lot speedier and overall my signal strength seems to be better (though that could just be wishful thinking) aside from that I'm not seeing any definitive changes but then again I never really had the errors some people had. Are you noticing any positive changes with the latest update?

[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I'm aware thank you. However I'm not the only one mentioning slight performance upgrades and fixes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
I havent yet received the update, but concur many people are reporting better performance and stability throughout the system - especially marketplace.

Note that not once has any BUGFIX been mentioned in ANY update, including NoDo.

They only seem to be mentioning added features - so its very possible the update is chocked with bugfixes and driver updates.

Has anybody checked their Radio ROM versions before/after the update for example?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
yea, i knew you were :), just for those that weren't.

i haven't yet updated my phone cause i only found out about it as i was walking out the door this morning to work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I was just about to say that... This preparation for the NoDo update might involve system stability improvements and enhancements, such as driver fixes and such which would result in a better experience... I would think at least.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peter V8:
I have updated my phone, it took about 5 minutes to update and i had no problems what so ever. There are no significant changes but i think the phone is slightly faster. Or so it seems :-D

I think this thread is seeing the placebo effect in full force.

Zero changes with my phone. The marketplace froze last night as usual. The transition to landscape/portrait actually seemed worse when I tried it right after. I believe if there were any performance changes, they would've said so, wouldn't they?

I think they just cut the carriers completely out with this update.
