Help Galaxy *S* TV OUT!

[ILOVEMYGALAXY]

Does Samsung make a set of specific A/V cables for TV OUT for the Galaxy?

 

[gerberman]

None released as yet as far as I know, should be a load off stuff when they get there act together..docking station, in car kit cases leads etc. but if they release an A/V lead you can bet it will be a lot more than the

There's the official micro USB > HDMI cable that's been OOS forever & a day. Expensive, but this one will actually do HD output.

Yes, but can you view your home screen and apps with it, or are you limited like the droid x is?

using my zune cable on a 20+ year old tv created by rca and it's working great... image is 720p and the audio is about a half second off (or less... it's just barely noticeable) but loving it

I just got brand new zune cables from amazon.com ... and i cant get it to work with the vibrant ...

LOL I forgot you can not play the DRM protected avatar on the vibrant thru this port/cable arrangement! The cables I got from amazon for the zune [$1.94] work just fine in the color/holes they are marked for!

All of the videos i have play just fine...looks really awesome!

hope this helps

In this link, you can see the cable up close. What is the slot on the side for?
There seems to be a power icon beside it

Doesn't work for me - using a 3.5mm jack to 3xRCA cable (r/w/y) I've tried all six combinations of jacks in sockets on the inputs on my Sony Bravia TV.

With any RCA plug in the yellow input (which is video) I get badly synced flickery monochrome images - its the content on the phone screen, because I can see bits of it, but nothing usable. Same if set to PAL or NTSC. Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S (Model GT-I9000, Firmware: 2.1-update1, unhacked in any way).

Hmmm. Oh well.

I have tried 2 other non-nokia, standard plugs, and got a picture, but its tricky and not very stable. Try to put the plug fully into your phone, then try jerking the jackplug, and take it very slowly out of your phone. Once you find the sweet spot, you should get a picture.

I think some of the 3 contacts on the standard jackplug is not in the same
order as the nokia one. center or tip contact is video.

basicly you need to try and fit the center part of the jackplug to your top contact of your phone 3.5mm input, and tipcontact on the plug, to match center contact on our phone

I had that going for awhile, then i bought the nokia one. Works like a charm =)

Just got my Dynex 3.5 mm a/v cable in the mail and it works great! $4.95 plus free standard shipping at procablesdirect.com. The same exact Dynex cable was $40.99 at Best Buy before tax!! The red end works in the yellow port and the yellow end works in the red port, and the white end goes in the white port. No problems with audio or video output on my tv, for those trying to set up their tv out function, use the NTSC and the AV2 input on your tv if you are connecting the cables directly to your tv. If you are connecting your cables through a dvr/blu-ray/dvd player, change your tv input to AV1 to match the set up. Good luck!! It was worth the time to figure it out.

I bought a cable from VZW because I bought a memory card and car charger. Yeah it cost like $20, but it was convient.

Did your cable from Verizon work? I have a $20 gift card for them, that I could use. How good is the sound and video?

 

[ArmadaTattoo]

I tried about 6 different cables I sourced Locally and ended up getting the Nokia cable on eBay, works better than any other I tried and was a fraction of the cost. Hooray for TV OUT

Hi - I get a scrambled pic with an annoying interference sound. I can kinda see some of the icons and hear music if I play it. Swapped all the leads around to see if the colour coding was wrong and no luck. Have 2 cables that work fine for my camcorders so did you get this to work? Tried Pal and NTSC and I've a 3 year old flat screen Samsung tv so thought it should work?

I get same problem on hold with samsung level2 or 3 tek support, i have the samsung cable thats suposed to be compatable but is not or they messed up on the connections inside the gs 4g phone. scrambled and buzzing with sammy cable or standered av camcorder stile cable. i think this is only new tmo 4g version affected. but if you take and use wire or another cable and touch center vid to outer (should be ground, But not) you can get pic, sounds not going to work but you will see what i mean. i realy think conntacts are F,ed up or what ever controls it internaly?
Maybe recall, repair? anyone with tmo galaxy s 4g let me know if your tv out is working! Thanks

If you are in the USA then your phone probably is foreign. This forum is not for the US variants. They all have their own forums.

The i9003 is not a Galaxy S. It's a Galaxy SL. There are some major differences in terms of hardware.

That said, a quick check through the specs does indicate that it has TV-out, but you will probably need a 3.5mm to VGA cable for it. Do you have a cable?

Recently found out about this TV-OUT function on the Galaxy S so I decided to go to Radioshack to get a 3.5mm-RCA cable. Hooked everything up correctly & all I got was sound no picture. Heard about swapping the red & yellow connectors, still no picture. Did some more research & heard this Nokia CA-75u cable works the best. Purchased one from Amazon.com. When I went to hook this Nokia cable up I had the same problem (sound works, not picture). Tried swapping some colors around, still nothing. Tried moving the 3.5mm cable around in the phone, in-n-out, still not picture. The best I got was a very distorted picture were I was sort of able to see some icons on the screen. Am I doning anything wrong or incorrectly?
