Some phone models also support transfer of pictures, video clips and powerpoint presentations to the TV.
Compatibility list : HTC TOUCH HD2
The design of actual item may look slightly different from the picture, depending on each batch of stock
----------------------------
EDIT: For people stumbling across this thread, the joke is this will not now, not ever work with the HD2! Don't waste your time or money hoping otherwise

Where is the hardware on the HD2 ?
It looks like any TV-out cable, I have the same type on my Omnia Pro.
The question is : Can the HD2 use the video out ? I don't recall seeing it in hardware specification.
Edit: Anyway I've just bought one, it was cheap enough for a TV-out and if it doesn't get used with HD2, I can still use it with Omnia Pro

I don't get the joke.

I seriously doubt it will work. If, by some miracle it does work, let us know.

To be honest I doubt it will do anything, but I needed a TV-out cable anyway

You might want to give this thread a read before you try the cable. There's some registry changes & cabs that you might want to play around with to see if you can actually get tv out on the hd2. Probably wont work, but might as well try if you're getting the cable.

impossible!!! where is the cable plugged in?

This is a standard 3.5mm jack with stereo + video. You can plug it like you would plug the headset in

My old N900 could do this, right out of box, with a tv out (3.5 mm jack) Whyy cant the HD2?

Your OLD ??? N900 , if its that old ill be happy to take it off your hands lol

Because the N900 has a specific software (and hardware) unlike the HD2.

my nokia n96 had a cable that plugged into the audio slot and then the 3 coloured cable that go into tv, if i can find it ill test it and let u know

Why would you trust some eejit on eBay selling a cable saying it's compatible with your phone, over the countless threads on xda explaining why TV Out is not possible on the HD2.
Here's a hint, the part of the Snapdragon chipset that deals with TV out is not connected to anything. Unless you plan on soldering the connector into your 3.5mm jack yourself, it's never going to work.

Did you get, try the cable yet? I've read about this with the EVO but nothing specific with the HD2.

Ive got a cable that plugs into the HD2 via the usb...
it allows you to turn your HD2 into a hot-plate for cooking eggs and such.
you want one? i sell it to you for £4.99 +P&P

I always did want a gadget that could do everything, like schoolwork and make breakfast. This would definitely get me closer

Why does everyone have to be so negative. Will it work? according to reports probably not, but if someone is going to do the rest of us a favor and test it out say thank you and see if it works.

Tilt Infrared port addon

Hello wonderful wonderful people of XDA-Developers world. First of.. I'm eternally thankful to all the contributors to this wonderful community.
Now for my request.. I'm in real estate and have a need for an Infrared Port on my device which allows me to take prospective buyer's into listed homes. We have this thing called GE Supra that enables that. With the Tilt's many joys, this is one sore feature thats lacking in the Tilt.
So, I went searching on google, wiki, this forum, ppcgeeks, pdaphonehome (why?), and many more only to find that there are apparently tons of USB IR dongles available in the market with a standard USB on one end and the IR blaster/receiver on the other. But, they are meant for a laptop/pc/mac etc.
**Is there ANYTHING I can give a shot at that you think exists maybe in the form of a Bluetooth device that brings IR addon to pdas??! Or a mini-usb for plugging into the Tilt or something.. ANYTHING..!
What about those IR blasters/extenders that one can get at Radioshack or something.. can they be "rigged" in someway to add an IrDA Port to my Tilt???
Please help.
AJ
USB on Kaiser
The USB required for those IR devices are for an USB host. The USB on the Kaiser is not a host USB otherwise we would also be able to add things like thumbdrives, etc. IR has quickly gone the way of the Dodo bird in favor of other wireless technologies like Bluetooth. There are some cheap Windows Mobile Classic devices out there with IrDA still - perhaps when you need to, you can just carry a second device.
Thanks Jonnob
Thanks JonnoB,
I was hoping that I'll get a different answer but I guess there are no other options that getting another device to run that function. Oh well.. back to the ugly Supra DisplayKey that needs to be manually updated each day with using the ancient regular phone line...
Maybe there are bluetooth versions of the GE Suprakey...
I have been asked the same question about the Supra EKey software and the Tilt. Basically I tell the real estate agents to keep their "little blackbox key" if they want the Tilt.
Another angle may be to look for SDIO devices.
For example, there was one released for the Treo a while back: http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/7096/new-sd-card-universal-remote-control-device/
Thats just what I was looking for but in MicroSDIO.. if such thing exists.
Thanks Evil..
Thats what I was searching online for. Maybe I'll try and find out if there is an SD to MicroSD adapter available so that I can plug the infrared SDIO blaster into a microSD adapter (if such a thing exists) and I should be good to go.
Is the MicroSD slot even enabled for I/O functionality?? Dunno..
Man.. more questions than answers.. Maybe I'll have to give in and stick with the black ugly DisplayKey for GE that I have to manually update via frickin' landline.
nuf *****in... I'm gonna move on.
Thanks all for trying to help.

That's a good point. AFAIK the Kaiser is SDIO, but I have never heard of a male microSD to female SD adapter. At least the Kaiser microSD slot has an external opening so it is physically possible.

Seems painful, but there are BlueTooth->Serial adapters (which host a generic serial port profile on BT and have a physical RS-232 interface on the other side) - and I recall seeing Serial->IrDA adapters at one point. Plug two expensive low-volume gadgets together and hope they work? All the while, pointing the IR port at your Real Estate gizmo....

How about something like this? It was a device that plugged nto a headphone jack. I doesn't appear to be made any more, but I liked the idea.

Yeah, I was talking about that one; actually, I keep one of those that I bought some years ago (for an old Toshiba e700 series that I owned).
Something like this, could work as well, supposing that someone write the code to make it work (which, I think, is totally feasible). How much would it cost, that's another story.
USB to IrDA adapter
In this case, you would need as well either a mini usb to usb cable or an adapter.

...and a whole new USB controller in the phone, since the one in there is a USB target not a USB master. Oh and a power source as well, since the USB target controller in the phone expects power provided TO it - just like the USB IrDA dongle's target controller expects power provided TO it.
All of which is not to trivialize the software component.
If the OP's software works on PocketPC but expects a serial port connection to the scanner (IrDA looks like a serial port to software) then his best bet is to find hardware which looks like a serial port to PocketPC software.
Just my $0.02 of course.

That's why I said that it would cost money (actually, a lot of money); developing software, drivers or whatever involved in this project wouldn't be cheap.
By the way, regarding power, oh well, this would be the easiest part, supposing that you really need an infrared port. Obviously, you would need an external source (not the most elegant solution), but this is the same case if using any of the other suggested solutions, being something like the TotalRemote IrDA module the exception, which I think could be a good approach.

I don't think you understand. Certainly it's not impossible, but you're asking effectively why grabbing two extension cords and plugging them together doesn't light up a lamp.
The two devices you want to connect BOTH have (for the sake of simplicity) "USB inputs", while a normal PC has "USB outputs". You're proposing hooking two "inputs" together - and there's not really a money solution to that.... in the same sense that you can't just buy a different brand extension cord to make the lamp light up.
Anyway, suffice it to say that for all effective purposes, hooking a USB IrDA dongle up to a USB phone is not going to be practical.

NOKIA 5800 - symbian
Htc diamond - WM
Samsung I900 omnia - WM
IPHONE 3G
Thanks
symbian os is crap i wouldnt waste my time with it
the omnia is a big brick and still manages to have a lower screen resolution than the diamond and the iphone is gr8 if ur under 18 and all u wanna do is listen to music n play games anything else and ur screwed :lol so id suggest the diamond or if you have a bit more money to spend try the xperia

Hey, why symbian is a crap?
I had p900 sony ericsson before a long time
Why the omnia is a big trick?
About the iphone, i will have 18 in like 20 days lol.
I will mostly use the cellular i will buy as a regular phone, wifi for skype calls (via fring), and gps (IGO).
I can get second hand diamond for 300$
If i had alot of money i would buy the HD; from what i know he's the best, more then the new Omnia hd of samsung, and more then diamond 2
Bump!
mancsoulja ?
Seriously I have owned and used both Symbian and WinMo in the last 6 months. Lets just say Im never going back to symbian.
And get the HTC diamond.
Better screen
GREAT XDA support!
TouchFLO which is amazing.
Yeah, i think to go diamond because of few things:
Better pixels resoulation from what iv'e heared
Stylus
TouchFLO (my dad got HD)
Omnia over diamond: alot of memory vs 4GB.
More here
Iv'e saw right now a video in youtube that say diamond have not regular miniusb, a miniusb of HTC.
Why does i care? because i want to connect a convertor of 3.5mm jack headphone so i will be able to connect my regular earphones.
*I want to know how much time i will be able to make a skype call (fring-wifi) on the diamond.
*As for playing music, diamond cant replace the COWON D2 i plan to buy.
The diamond isnt the greatest at media. But then the 5800 doesnt have dedicated media keys either (as I am aware).
But seriously you wont regret getting the diamond at all. You can get a 3.5mm jack you just have to get the right one. It should even set you back £5/6.

Where can i find it for 5/6 with shipping to Israel?
The miniusb isn't normal miniusb? is it miniusb of htc?
If no, i guess i can buy any convertor from miniusb to 3.5mm
I don't like the omnia so i'm not gonna buy it.
It's or that im i will go the diamond, or that i will save some money and buy diamond2/HD (also hard decision)
Anyone can answer the question on the convertor?
If it's not normal miniusb, i can't buy any miniusb convertor to 3.5mm
If it's normal, i will have 2 options:
1. Buy the htc diamond + COWON D2.
2. Buy the HD/DIAMOND2 and use their music player.

The Diamond has a special mini-usb port. It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable. But it can be used also with a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port.
Is it allowed to post a link to a shop that ships to Israel?
Hey.
So why they write it's miniusb? its special miniusb.
"It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable" - so what's the special connection here?
According to you, i must get a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port?
I would be glad to get a link to a cheap converter...
If i add more 250$ i can get the HD. I don't know if to buy the diamond. the HD, or the diamond2.

From what I have read about this mobile so far, it does not allow that. Atleast out of box. Devs might be able to "enable" it if the functionality is built-in but locked down.

Any updates on this issue?
I would love to have my HD2 connected to TV using HDMI
i've read many articles about that but the only answer is NO, it isn't possible.
I don't think so, Tim.
I have a usb2.0->dvi adapter and I`m going to try it with my hd2 (android 2.2) within few days via micro usb 2 mini usb cable. But I`m pretty sure that this junk won`t work because of lack of drivers.
Nothing like that is going to work as of this moment. I have read that HTC is going to release a DLNA adapter for TVs to have access to streaming media, but it's not till around Feb of next year (and who knows what can happen between then and now). It seems it'll connect to the TV via HDMI cable and if you would rather not use it as a wireless streamer then you could just plug it in via cable (who knows how compatible it will all be though). So in a way it's closer than you think, but still far away and HTC could come up with some bogus excuse to not release it.
shame on htc...

Anyone got an Acer Tempo M900?

hi
i might get an acer tempo m900 because i saw one on expansys.com for £189.99
Brand new!
I think its a bargain but i dont know if they are any good.
Anyone?
flyboy
All i can say is it's not a HTC
Device database has all you need spec wise http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1765&c=acer_m900___tempo__m900
If it was me spending nearly £200 i'd check the market place for a good condition Raphael
i dont like the raphel not big enough screen.
This Acer has got a 3.8" touch screen
Anyway i wouldnt pay over £100 for something second hand.
Anyone got an acer then?
I got the device last week actually. Its a brilliant device but its let down by its lack of ram, although this has not been a problem yet so don't be put off by that.
Theres also a problem with 3.5mm connectivity for headphones.
The screen is very big and nice and the fingerprint reader is a great novelty that has some use.
I would recommend getting it.
So does the acer have an 3.5mm headphone jack or is it usb?
Have you got any pics you can show me that you have taken with the camera?
thanks

The M900 is a superb machine. I strongly recommend it. It doesn't have a 3.5mm headset socket, though. The wired headset (with mic) is a 10-pin mini-B USB connector. It really doesn't bother me at all, because I seldom use it, since it is required to listen to the FM radio only, as it acts as an antenna. For MP3s and videos (i.e. for all the remaining - and most important - sound sources) I use my SE HBH-IS800 stereo BT headsets. Of course people's needs are quite different. So, if a 3.5mm connector is a must for you, you better consider buying something else.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!
Carlos
does it use mini usb port to charge or does acer has it`s own special port for charging?

Yup! Although its mini-USB port is 10-pin, 5 of them are in the same position as the standard mini-USB. So, any mini-USB cable you might have would charge it (provided it has enough current (mAh), of course), as well as sync it.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!

Same opinion
what the htc community is offering is more than acer, but acer are doing ppcs that are the same thing but just cheaper.
Id be going for function and price rather than a specific model with ppcs.
And i wouldnt waste my money on a second hand diamond,tytn Ii, rapheal,prophet when for the same price i get more function, and less money spent
Just makes sense!!

My Streak 7 Dock thoughts.

Well I finally bought the Streak docking station. I havent hooked it up to HDMI yet so I cant tell you about that yet.
What I can tell you is.. the plastic holder part.. The clear thing you insert, I dont know, I mean seems solid enough but I cant help but feel that it could break, I dont know. That and things make a odd sound when you jiggle the tablet while its docked.
Aside from that, GOD this dock is nice. I mean its angled just right for doing things, visibility is great! Good for video watching and so. Also playing finger based games like angry birds, this thing runs great. Also least it can charge separately from the usb connection to the PC. All I need to find now is a way to access my network files to play videos remotely and I am set. =D
I agree on the dock being nice. I bought two, one for in the office and the other at home. The dock mode of the streak can be a bit annoying at times especially when you lock the tablet with a pin. Posting via Galaxy S as waiting on replacement streak 7 from Dell. Still love the Streak though not working right now.

Btw I havent tested this part yet with HDMI, If you hook it up, do your games show up on the TV? Would be cool to have your emulators displaying on the TV. Heh.
Hmmm.... I think I might give the dock a try. I have a few extra HDMI cables laying around. I'll try it out and post what happens.
I've had the dock for about 2 weeks now. Works great, HDMI looks decent, not HD obviously, but it looks good and I am able to watch movies on my 56inch with no problems.... To me it was worth it, you can get them for cheap on ebay just to let everyone know.

I would say check ebay. Most people ship everywhere.
Also yea, playing emulators works great on it. Also another perk.. if you use wiimote IME. You could have your streak docked, away from you and you can use the wii mote or classic controller to move the menu around too and open apps and so. Very handy.

Maybe. Tried Ebay or Amazon? Alot of people will ship worldwide.
what are some alternatives to the official dock like the g2 slacker? looking for something under $20 as both the official dock and the g2 dock go for at least 30 on ebay.
g2 slacker, while "looks" like same port, I doubt it is. Or would work. If you need a cheap alt,
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334806828&sr=1-1
HOWEVER I should mention these docks DO NOT have hdmi! So they will charge, and seperate cable to sync. However.. a dell streak dock without hdmi.. seems silly..? I know for me.. hook to HDMI, Use BT keyboard/touchpad (and I can run dos!) or BT gamepad and I can run emulators. Thats nice on a TV. =)
The slacker dock only supports USB-IN, it doesnt support anything else on the S5/S7
Things missing from the slacker dock (that's available on the 2nd gen official dock):
Line-out
USB-in (ie OTG)
USB-high speed charing
HDMI-out
Dock sense (where the device automatically goes into clock mode)
The slacker dock has a headphone out, but the S5/S7 dont support it either (it may not have the pins for that, if it does it's different anyway). The slacker dock also has pads for USB-in, but that model was never officially made available(?).
Also I would STRONGLY recommend against a slacker dock for the S7 (if you can even find one), the S5 is a lot lighter then the S7.
The S7 barely fits on it, but it has absolutely no support besides the port itself.
The S5 already places all it's weight on the dock port, the S7 is asking to be broken by any accidentical impact.
If you are willing (or can find it at a reasonable price), I would strongly recommend the official 2nd gen dock for either the S5/S7.
It includes 2 backplates to support either model.
Also, the S5 dock in the previous link likely wont fit the S7, that's the reason the official dock comes with 2 backplates.
Your only real choice for the S7 is the official 2nd gen dock.
Oh fyi, amazon has it on sale right now for 30$ the official one.
Are we sure the Offical Dell Dock has OTG?! I can't find documentation on that AT ALL.
