With top devices being released with HDMI out ports like the HTC Evo 4G and the Motorola Droid X, some were a bit confused as to why Samsung did not add the feature into the design of their latest device, the Samsung Galaxy S. We know that the Galaxy S offers video out via its 3.5 mm jack, but that does not give us the HD quality that we so eagerly need.
Samsung has been working on an accessory that will allow users to view media in High-Definition via an HDMI to MicroUSB cable. The cable is priced at just $50 and is currently unavailable, but we should be expecting it soon. Those of you interested in this accessory can check the Samsung product site for more information.
*Note* The HDMI to MicroUSB cable will be compatible with the U.S. variants such as T-Mobile’s Samsung Vibrant and AT&T’s Samsung Captivate.

Has anyone got the Vibrant to work on TV out..I have tried everything I have see written, yet no go…what am I missing…used my N82 cable my camcorder cable, yet the yellow, then red as the cable out and still my samsung HD tv will not “see” the Vibrant
Here’s how to connect vibrant to the tv: (read carefully on the color part)
1. Just plug the 3.5mm plug into the vibrant headphone jack.
2. on the phone: settings>sounds & display> tv out> (check box & NTSC)
3. switch the color cables on the composite side. (red male to yellow female…white to white)
(I believe they want you to buy a special cable for the phone, but switching the colors on a
normal composite cable works fine)
I have a new GS3. bought the “universal HDMI connection kit” from T-Mobile. any ideas on getting this to work. followed pkg instructons.
Thanks, Rich

Well does this work with Samsung Vibrant? If not, are there any HDMI adaptors/cables that anyone has SEEN work with a U.S, Vibrant?
Ohh HELL YEAH!

Yes ! it’s not HD but for viewing pictures and showing off my Vibrant ..I must say it’s HOT !..I remember having a Maxell 3.5-mm-to-RCA A/V Splitter with 3.5-mm Cable. I use on my Zune player, I paid 3.99 plus tax and WOW it works. Now does this HDMI to MicroUSB cable really work ? I will have look into this more.

But how am supposed to keep my phone charged while playing a movie?
If you look closer, you can see a Micro USB connector for charging on the side of the HDMI connector. So that shouldn’t be a problem.

will we see the capabilities ported for other devices to utilize the possibility for hdmi out? say an unlocked g1/nexus1 or any other android phone with microUSB?
EDIT: mixed micro with mini. but keep in mind they do have adapter for micro-mini

“Just $50″? That’s pretty expensive for a cable. That’s Apple prices.
anyone know if this cable will work for the HTC Droid Incredible looking for the hdmi not composite
any idea when this cable will be released?
I just plug it into my PS3 via the USB cable it came with and watch stuff. This seems a bit silly.
Sadly, I am not convinced this cable will ever appear — the product page linked above no longer seems to exist.
I guess we’re SOL.
$50 WTF WHY DONT THEY ASK FOR YOUR FIRST BORN ALSO FUCK THAT IM NOT PAYING THAT
