Hey everyone, I've been having trouble connecting my Samsung Vibrant to my standard definition television, the cable I bought off Amazon was the Amzer 3.5 mm to rca video out cable, and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to work. I've posted a quick video on youtube explaining my problem, and thanks for any help in advance:

+1 on that,
The cable could just be wired wrong, try changing the one you use for video, leave the audio unplugged until/if you get a picture ....

Like I said, I've tried ALL OF THE combinations already, but I'll leave the audio unplugged and try that.

no dice, i'll probably end up getting a refund on the cable and buying the one directly from samsung's website, even if it is over-priced.
go to radio shack and buy the same cable and try it
I watched this video and see the issue.
You are not pressing the 3.5mm end of the cable.into your vibrant with enough force. You would be unable to do it with one hand.
Press it firmly in, until it clicks. you will need to press with force.
I suppose i can record a video if you feel you are pressing it im.hard enough.

If u have had sucess with this please let me know how u did it and what i may br doing wrong. Ive searched for a solution but couldnt find it. So thanks in advance for anyone who responds.

I'm going to chalk this one up as a "phantom mod" (something I just now made up) like the camera mods going around that offered 2mp fronts, 8mp main cams. Etc. Sure the option might be there, but that doesn't mean it was ever meant for our phone and just doesn't work.
Sure, they "unlocked" it. But our phones just aren't capable of doing it so it doesn't work.

I do agree mostly with felacio on my test. Most headphones are 2 stripes on the jack, I tested an av cable with 3 stripes (video, l, r). There is a cable on amazon that is 4 stripes that I have not tested. Until someone tests that cable out, I can not fully say that this is a phantom mod. Are we 100% sure the camera mod is not doing anything? I never really tested as I dont take pictures...i just think some mods will work in the right scenario like beats audio - not advertised, but it works - even if people say its not needed, it does work...if it didnt, we would get the same sound output whether we had it enabled or not, and it is definitely different than stock.

I made the Rever3nD Camera mod. Unlocked 2mp front, HDR, Scenes, Panoramic,and I later unlocked 8mp (never uploaded that version though). The only thing that really worked was the panorama shots. So I stopped working on it.
Beats does "work" as far as I can tell you can get the same result with DSP Manager but... Name recognition is a strong draw.
I agree that Beats is just a DSP setting. I don't think that it actually does more than what you can get with a good signal processor. The problem is that I don't think our phone has a good built-in processor. Also, I think it would take a good audiophile to recreate the beats feature exactly with just the DSP as I don't believe it is just increasing the bass and decreasing treble. So, while people have a problem with the name that comes with beats, it sure is easier to select that than try to get the same effect through the processor. I would love for an audio guru to figure out exactly what to set the DSP to so that we can get the same effect...maybe then we can add it as a preset instead of having it built-in to the ROM.
Thanks for clarifying the camera mod. I wasn't saying you were wrong, I just missed out on the discussion about it not working correctly. So much for having an 8mp camera. Still think taking 3d pictures is awesome, so no biggie.

So I came across this article today http://m.engadget.com/2012/05/10/htc-one-x-remote-camera-shutter-bluetooth-headsets/?CG01 and it says that the One X has this little feature that allows you to use certain bluetooth headsets as a wireless camera shutter button. This peaked my interest, so I found my old Motorola H505 headset and gave it a shot. And surprisingly it worked with my EVO 4G LTE! All you have to do is pair the headset with the phone, enter the camera app, and click the phone key on your bluetooth.
I would like to hear about other people's results.

Do you have to press the phone key three times every time, or just for the first shot?
I just tried this out with my old ps3 bluetooth set and it worked! I just needed to press the power button on my bluetooth device once tho. It could be different for every bluetooth device too.

WHOA!! I had no idea, I just tried it using my Motorola S9-HD earphones.. one click, worked perfectly..
This works with the Plantronics Voyager Pro+. All you need to do is long press talk button till you hear the beep. It works great for surveillance and investigations.
Doesn't seem to work with the Plantronics Discovery 975. I tried pressing the button once, three times, 5 times, and just pressing it until something happened. Nothing happened.Not holding out any hope for this, but if anyone has had any luck with getting a Plantronics Discovery 975 to do this, I would love to know what the trick is.
It has worked on my Jabra Extreme, Jabra BT530, & Samsung HM7000 since day 1...
Sent from my EVO LTE baby!
works with my LG Tone, just one push on the talk button does the trick. Now the real question is, is this more of a glitch than a feature?
Wow, that's bad-ass! I just tried it with my OG Jawbone and it works! I only need to press the button once. Thanks for the tip.
Cool it work, i have the Motorola H17 works with one click

I'll try this on my Samsung headset tonight when I get home. I never use it for my phone, only for my PS3, so it just stays on the charger at home.
I have an Old LG HBM-210 laying around and I saw this ... I only need one click!!
This is kinda cool for when you wanna take a family or friends portrait .. hell even just to lay your phone somewhere and take a secret picture lol..
Thanks for the tip!
Works with one press of the call button on my Rocketfish RF-MAB2. No other buttons do anything, unfortunately. But still, great find! :good:

Im wondering the same thing lol, i think its more of a glitch than anything else. Maybe the shutter button its getting intercepted by whatever you do on your bluetooth headset who knows

Yup indeed, too bad i dont have a bluetooth headset to abuse this little feature. lol
I really want to make a bike mount for my Evo so I can get some cool shots while riding through the streets
My Samsung Bluetooth works with this feature. However, it has a slight delay of about 1.2 seconds from the time I push the power button on my Bluetooth, til my phone responds. But its still an awesome feature.

Hey,
So I got a new pair of headphones today (Shure Se215's) and I have a major issue with them connecting to my Galaxy sII.
The headphones work perfectly in other devices and I have never had any trouble with other headphones in my own phone.
However with these new headphones the jack seems dodgy. It only gives full sound (not switching between mono and stereo, just tinny as ****) when on the right angle. So right now I cant use them together without constantly holding the cable in the right position.
One similar thing which I have noticed is that connecting an AUX cable has always been dodgy too. The phone will not pick up that it is plugged into an aux cable (Car or home stereos) until I wiggle and jam it in and even then it takes a few seconds if it works at all.
Any help would be great! I have done a lot of searching on here and around the web and haven't found any issues quite the same as mine.
I'm not scared to open up the phone and play with hardware if people think it is necessary.
Cheers
Dodgy audio jack, what more is there to say?
Fix under warranty or take to phone shop.

Buy a new part online and do it yourself. I did it for mine when the vibrating module died, it was ridiculously easy and I'd never done anything like that before.

Hello,
I'll be hooking up my tab in the car and I'm looking for a cable that will charge over USB and provide audio out in one.
I found this guy on Amazon but it only says it works with the original Tab.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054MV84Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A36WKB83D3HR47
The video out is mirrored so I would just leave that part unplugged.
Does anyone have experience with this or something similar with the Tab 2?
Thanks!
I just ordered one. I'll give it a whirl and report back!
Be interesting to see how you get on, I'm in the process of mounting my P5110 in the car as well. I don't think the video would work anyway, but the audio should...
What bracket are you planning on using if you don't mind me asking?
I actually ended up making my own, a TV mount coupled with a gel case.
TV mount: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044YMQIW/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
Gel case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009L7OMVG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
With a little modification, it worked out quite well.
I like this setup because I can easily reach the tablet to control Pandora, Stitcher, Maps, etc, and still swing it over for a passenger to watch Netflix or browse the web. If I can get this cord to work, I'll be set!

Very nice setup, and with the minimum of cables hanging out of the Tab.
I must order the same cable now that you confirmed that it works, and post a pic once I have it mounted in my car.
Currently my trusty i9000 handles all my in car android needs with Navigon etc.. time to upgrade.
I still need a way to attach the cable to the mount without it looking like junk, but since it splits close to the usb/av end of the cable, this shouldn't be too hard.
Definitely post some pics once you have yours set up.
Since this is mainly going to stay in the car, I also set up Tasker to perform a few tasks when the device gets power.
On power connect:
- Turn screen on (I believe this happens anyway though)
- Set brightness to auto
- Set screen timeout to 24hrs (There is also a function to keep the screen from turning off, but it still dims the screen close to the devices set timeout, which I find annoying)
- Play audio (if paused)
On power disconnect:
- Pause audio
- Set screen timeout to 2min
- Lock screen
Just some food for thought.
Looks great!

So we can get audio out thru the 30-pin connector? hows the sound quality vs. the headphone jack? i assume since it works for the 10.1 tab 2 it should work on the 7.0, would love for a nice single connection setup like that when I work out a way to do an in-dash setup once i figure out a way to relocate the AC controls.
edit: 500th post :highfive:
has anyone got this working on a galaxy tab 2 7.0 (p3110 pref)
ive bought 2 diffrent cables and neither has routed audio out via dock,
is there something i should be doing within android to enable dock mode or route audio out via the connector or will it do that automatically?
i really need audio to come out via the dock connector so i can charge and play audio out of the one cable.

The audio on the 30 pin is the same audio on the headphone jack....... its audio.
The only difference between the 10 and the 7 is that the 7 has no video on the 30 pin
I bought a similar cable as yours But I cant get it to work the audio wont out through the cable only on the device. Any setting that I should do? Could you please show me your set up? Thanks you.

Do you happen to know someone with the tab 2 7.0 that you can test that cable with? I'm thinking about ordering one but would like confirmation that it works. Not interested in video, just audio and charging.

If it works on the p-51xx it will work the same on the P31xx except no video on 31xx 2.7.0 tabs
the pinouts are exactly the same.
So, will this cable bring video out from p5100?
Did anybody tried it on p5100?

CHeck the Samsung accessories page for the adapter, if it says its compatible it is, if its doesn't list your model its not.
Just curious here...I've been long considering taking my Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch apart and somehow fashioning a Double Din head unit out of it. But I'm a little skeptical now because:
If I'm reading this right, you guys are saying that only audio comes out of the USB connector thing? But that doesn't make sense to me because why wouldn't the audio sound, and video sound be handled the same way? It just seems like to me they would be essentially the same thing, but then again I'm not very tech on the software side so idk

From what I gather, your audio in whatever form will be carried through the 30-pin connection on the GTab7.0. The only difference in the pin connector from the GTab10.1 and GTab7.0 is that Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, omitted the video pin on the GTab7.0.
My Evo 3D has a dodgy headphone socket and it's time to do something about it!
I don't want to start looking into fixing it until I know what to expect because it's my only phone so can I get some advice on fixing it?
I'm a soldering God so no worries there and I'm not bothered about popping it open unless I'm gonna be wasting my time.
Would I be better off getting another and selling mine?
Is there a separate board containing the headphone socket I could buy and just swap it out?
Whadda 'ya think guys?

Thought of going down this route but I wanna use it on the bike so would have to fit in a crash helmet. The bluetooth boxes that you plug headphones into could work but not sure how loud they are :-S

i use chatter box in my helmet its Bluetooth and works great with this phone you can even answer calls on the bike
Mhm it is not easy fix, but still a nice challenge. I fixed my HTC Blackstone HD with this method (unlock button was broken).
First check if it is possible by watching a YT vid to change the digitizer. Hopefully they take the chip with the headphone socket apart.
Then try too find the part on ebay and get it.
With the help of the previous mentioned YT vid, replace the chip with the headphonesocket. It took me a few hours too fix this by this way because you need to be very carefull. Hope this helps.

Gonna look into this cos it looks like it would clip onto the bikes fairing and pretty cheap too.
How loud is it? Is is splash proof or anything? Looks kind of rubbery..
