Samsung’s Latest Accessory Will Allow HDMI Out on Galaxy S

HDMIMicroUSB

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.

I once served in the USMC from 02'-08' I purchased the G1 in 2008 and then watched the Android OS turn the mobile world upside down. I then got the Nexus One followed by the Samsung Vibrant. I also have the HD2 running Shubcraft CM6. I've been following the Android community for a while now and couldn't be happier doing anything else. "Go Green, get -C}[\][D[R[-][][D-"

    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


    • Vibrant Owner

      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)

    But how am supposed to keep my phone charged while playing a movie?


    • Hans Pedersen

      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.

    I just plug it into my PS3 via the USB cable it came with and watch stuff. This seems a bit silly.


  39. Anonymous

    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.
