X10 mini pro TV OUT? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Is there a program with which you can get TV out via USB cable to AV? I know that there is a cable to buy a Micro USB to AV but will it works with the x10 mini?

From my understanding on how this sort of thing to work you would need to have drivers of some sort to tell the hardware to output video by the usb. I think it could be done but someone with a lot of programing skill and hardware knowledge can provide more detail if it is possible

There's also supposedly dlna support coming in one of the 2.1 updates. So that would at least get video out for dlna capable devices.

Connecting XDA Mini s to Hard drive Mp3 player

I'm new to this forum and appreciate all that I have learnt here so far.....but does anyone know if I can connect to my Creative Zen touch hard drive Mp3 player via mini USB and access the hard drive from my XDA mini s????
that would mean that the Wizard is capable to run in USB Host mode or USB OTG (On The Go i think).
anyone?
i've seen no docs saying this was available but if my 8125 could mount my iRiver H340 i would be a very happy clam indeed.
UPDATE
WM5 seems to be the limitation as far as this device lacking USB Host: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37769
This discussion has been has about the universal a few time. The hardware should be capable, BUT, WM5 is not, so i'm afraid that you would not beable to do this.

[Q] Xperia x10 tv out?

Is there a way to use xperia x10 to display stuff on TV or a projector?
good question
I haven't tried this yet, but my TV has USB connectors. Might be a way to get the TV to recognize the SD card as an external hard drive...that's the only way I can think of doing it. Other then hooking it up to a PC, and then streaming the content to your tv via another device (media device, modded gaming console, pc, etc....) First gen xboxes work great for this
i connected my x10 to the usb from xbox..and it works.it can play videos or see pictures or listen to music.it doesn't play the new 720p videos from xperia
You really need to qualify this question... yes, there are a billion way's to use the Xperia to display stuff on the telly...
I assume what you're really asking is: "is there 'video out' capability on the x10"
The answer is no.

I ws under the impression that the x10 would play nice with other dnla devices (playstation. Certain Blueray players and tv's)

Well yeah, there's supposed to be DLNA on the 2.1 update, but I haven't looked... of course you would need a DLNA compliant receiver of sorts attached to or inside your set...
Like I say, there are billions of ways to get your x10 on the telly (personally I just sit it on top when I'm charging it), but it all depends on how you're trying to do it.

That's only for Satio series.
I tried a 3.5mm to composite RCA cable but no dice.
Ultimately the best option would be HDMI to microUSB like a few other phones have.
I wonder how hard it would be for someone to add support for that... I guess it depends on whether it is a hardware or software limitation... I'm tempted to start a thread about it!

It's software limitation, there cannot really be a hardware limitation in the phone itself, all we need is a compatible microusb connecting lead, but there is no feature in the x10 software that allows video-out.
Maybe a third-party app?

[Q] Possibiliti x10 HDMI?

Have any possibiliti to make hdmi for x10, from arc sources and implement via micro usb like in nokia? In service menu also have hdmi?
I am Zulea, past developer of unlocking tools. You know USB Smart, but now I am out.
Sorry.
I also think the same micro usb to hdmi i asked this before i asked this but didnt get the ansnwer.

you are talking like everything is possible with x10(like quadcore).not that i dont like to have HDMI,but its very very unlikly
(dont get me wrong brother)
Anyone know any dev to show him this?....
Every dev most likely already "thought" about this many times, but this is a dream, it could be possible to get somehow a video output using usb or even the phone connector, yes it would be possible, but that would be a very poor output, because they would have to remap somehow a software encoder inside the phone to redirect data using USB or phone connector and connected in the usb or phone would have to be an adapter that would again translate the information in some vga, A/V, RGB, or at max S-Video, nothing like HDMI could ever happen as there is no such hardware for this built inside x10.
Don't dream on this guys, this is not like something that you can build on drivers.
Here goes an example of things that may be developed in future for x10:
Mass storage like pen drive(connecting a pen drive in the phone directly)
Mouse, keyboard and other input stuf.
Further undervolt and overclocks.
Multitouch, real multitouch(no dual touch as it is now with axis issue)
This may be developed sooner, and only maybe...
HDMI is too far from possible, not impossible though, but yet they would have to find a hardware in the phone to use for that which i don't really know if there is such a thing in x10, but i doubt.
@ all dev...
Is it possible to use USB OTG...?? like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224676
Or
Live Dock support for x10??
any hope..
This would be amazing but highly unlikely. I just don't think the X10 has the necessary hardware to push HD video out of the USB controller. The only thing I would add is there is a HDMI section in the Service Menu. I don't know if that would help us but it's a place to start.
@xpaa thanks for the interesting link.
My wife's Samsung Infuse 4G came with the hdmi adapter and my first thought was, "How the heck would you get HDMI speed out of a USB anyway?"
i also try so many ways to share my videos and photos on TV via Hdmi out .. even i found some suitable cables for X10 which was selling for that aims. try to search vivaz audio video cable , it is working like output from audio jack , in vivaz it shows videos but in x10 only audio no video , but it is possible via Wi fi share photos and videos on TV
About Live Dock to regret it doesnt support X10 ( only neo , arc , arc s , pro ) as i know

This cable works only on Nokia 5800.
There are no Android phones that support TV-out via 3.5mm jack. Some phones have HDMI port for this, but most don't.
Now, microUSB-HDMI adapter is known to work on some Androids, but LWW has not been tested. So we also do not know, if there is any app for it or not.
2nd way would be DLNA, but that only supports media files.
Thanks man

i still confused how to use DLNA?
I already tried the Samsung "Micro USB <-> HDMI" cable and it dindt work. But that cable it's a bit weird, you have to connect the charger to the cable. Maybe a generic "Micro USB <-> HDMI" cable works

You don't connect the charger to the adapter.
I am not sure, if Xperia's support TV-out from microUSB. If not, then likely will not work.
For DLNA, you need the original file from stock ROM.

In Xperia Mini st15a, DLNA can be used through an app what initiate an server what give access for media content like videos and photos, and if you have an eletronic like a notebook or tv with dlna certified, then they have the client to connect to the server and execute these contents. Although, windows 7 comes with dlna client, windows media center, through wifi (dlna is a protocol what runs over wifi).
I asked in my country to Sony support about MHL, they say what the only device is the Xperia Arc S what have MHL ... but i can't confirm that, and the new Xperia U, P etc etc maybe have. However, for us owners of xperia 2011 devices, theres no mhl function, and i searched a lot... so i found xBounds, google it.
About cables through jack, the same, don't work... Sony have an oficial cable to x1 i guess, but not for live's or mini's.
Search also about mirrorOp app on Google Play Store.
PS3 have dlna also and Sony have an app on Play called VScreens.
ps: sry by the english.
OH Sorry guys.
I didn't see this thread. I make New thread look like this.
Any one test it?
But I think lww soport's hdmi Because in service menu there is a bottun for test hdmi.

"No problem" about threads, just be careful. One day I made this also . Post an answer on your thread with a link to this post.
And it we go again... all noob have hope about the HDMI in service menu...
Yes, in service menu there is a button for hdmi test. All Android with service menu have a button for hdmi test. All Android with this button kinda have hdmi software support. But, in order to use HDMI properly, the device need a hardware what support HDMI, for example, MHL need an USB socket and a circuit, HDMI need a HDMI socket and a circuit.
In this case, is all about hardware not only software. Although, there are some ways to do screen mirroring, some hardwares and softwares. I bet in xBounds.
No one tried to plug an MHL adapter in mini's or live's, because no one reported if work or not, all we have is a uncertainty. No one tried to plug another kind of cable and reported if work or not. *No one since the latest search I made.
I haven't tried to use an MHL adapter yet because I don't found it in my country so easily and don't found a MHL adapter "more appropriate".
I just need search for a friend or visit some seller what I can meet to test it. I don't found yet.
ps: here lives a bad english also

Doubt not. You're obviously too busy to look it up . Suffice to say that entering "android tv out 3.5mm" or "galaxy s tv" on a well known phone spec checker (sometimes known as 'giyf') gives prominent links to the correct accessory and video demos.

The Sidekick 4g does as well. 4pin 3.5mm TRRS (Left,Right,Ground,Video) cables work on it. So does the Galaxy S II (i9100), and according to Samsung's website, with "Samsung Exhibit™ 4G Android Smartphone Samsung Captivate™ Android Smartphone Samsung Vibrant™ Android Smartphone Galaxy S™ 4G Android Smartphone Samsung Omnia® II Touchscreen Smartphone"
Composite video on 3.5mm jack, and most of those phones have MHL over usb or hdmi as well. Suck on that non-believer.
Samsumg have nice phones.
Sadly theres no MHL, or jack, or HDMI, or magic for xperia mini/pro, et cetera.
Is really unpleasant what the demostration video for LiveDock cause the impression of is possible do tv out for any phone Xperia, but this was discussed before, the true is what the phone in demostration has your own HDMI out. Even the docks with HDMI out, is for phones that already have the HDMI out builded in.
We have just a long wait for xBounds becomes a true for us, because is the only resource what seems work as we need and want.
Of course there's another solutions, but the issue is the delay, but this is not problem, for example, if you want just show content in non-real time.
i have used the galaxy notes MHL in my xperia mini and it dosent work....!!!!1

[Q] Usb dongle connection via OTG cable sony neo v running on ics

I have a sony xperia neo v running on ics. is there a way one can connect internet through a 3g usb dongle from ZTE i also have a OTG cable.
can this work?
I have the same problem buddy :-/
Me too.. This was my post:
Rooted and flashes my HTC Wildfire Buzz (A3333) to CM. Now I'm a persistent aircrack-ng user on linux platform and I know it's possible to get custom made drivers from a blog somewhere on working for some Broadcast chipsets. My phone has a Qualcomm MSM7225 / ARM1136EJ-S chipset and thus not compatible.
I've been thinking to get an external USB adapter to get monitor anyway. Now before buying it, I wanted to hear you guys out to ask if my phone will recognize it as a genuine adapter without installing any further drivers.. Also would the phone have enough battery output to supply both the phone and adapter. Last, I wanted to ask some of you that already own one to give me some tips on the "better" external usb adapters, which ones do I pick?
Thanks in advance
