[Q] SD video(3.5mm jack one) out on SGS2? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the galaxy s2 does SD video out like the previous galaxy s or other phones like n95 and so on using that 3.5mm jack wire which splits into 3 wires. I guess that it is called composite out.
Does that work?
Anybody tried?
Thanks in advance.

I read that it does NOT output video from the 3.5" headphone socket, like the S1 does , but it does output video from the micro usb, but you will need an hdmi adaptor.

Tinderbox (UK). I think you kind of double-posted there mate.
But yes, he's right, the normal TV out cable will not work at all, but you can buy what's called an MHL cable, so you can hook your phone up to your telly (well, as long as you have an HDMI compatible TV or screen).

How to connect S2 to the TV set without HDMI?

Hi guys,
I ve got a HDMI adaptor and cable for my S2 and it is working fine on the TV with HDMI, just wondering if I can connect S2 to the telly without HDMI socket?
There is no cable for that. Or use an HDMI cable with a DVI converter on top of it?
Google for HDMI to composite. There's loads of cheap leads to do this.

I am also trying to find how to cheaply connect S2 to a crt tv with either scart or composite RCA - does't look possible without high cost below taken from a web site but not allowed to post link as I'm a new user!:
HDMI To Composite Cable is sought by many people nowadays. People who have old technology equipments try to connect them with brand new HDMI-ready devices. Most old devices are using either composite cable, analog cable, or S-Video cable.
HDMI To Composite CableSome people think that they are able to convert the digital signal from HDMI end to several analog signals in the other end. The truth is, while you clearly can connect wire-to-wire, which simply won’t work. There is no possible solution to convert digital to analog signal without using a converter box. When you see HDMI To Composite Cable sellers claim to be able to convert the digital to analog signal directly without a converter box, they mostly scam and don’t work.
So, is it possible to convert the digital signal to analog signal? The answer is yes, but you can’t use a simple HDMI To Composite Cable. You need a converter box. It will do the conversion from digital to analog without a breeze. You may find them on the market labeled as HDMI To Composite Converter, HDMI To S-Video Converter, HDMI To 3 RCA Converter, HDMI To 5 RCA Converter, HDMI To Composite 3 RCA / S-Video Converter Adapter, but simply not as HDMI To Composite Cable only.
hdmi uses digital signal, so you can use a DVI adaptor but that's it.. (or digital component but that's ultra rare)
to use analogue (scart, composite, component, s-video) you'll need a digital-to-analogue converter box and they cost around £30 from ebay.. you're better off putting that money towards a new LCD with hdmi

Hope it help
ok probably doesn't then, thanks
The SGS2 is one of the first devices to implement the MHL standard. Basically, it repurposes the microUSB connector to provide digital HD video/audio output. This output is translated to HDMI through an external adapter, allowing you to view the SGS2's output on currently available TVs.
With the recently available MHL-to-HDMI adapter, you plug a charger into the adapter (the adapter pulls a little power from the charger, sending the rest to the SGS2), the adapter into the SGS2, and run a HDMI cable from the adapter to an external display (HDTV, monitor, etc.).

RCA TV out to In Dash DVD player?

Im thinking about getting an in-dash radio/dvd player. Most of these has standard rca video inputs. Would it be possible to connect the Galaxy S2 to one of these connections and mirror the screen on the dash? Would be great for navigation.
There are hdmi to rca cables out there. But no guarantee they will work with your setup as the cable itself is taking a digital signal and translating it to analog. It will depend on if the radio will be able to understand it.
You'll need the mhl adapter (make sure it's working before trying as some have had issues with them, depending on where they bought it) a micro usb power cord, and hdmi to rca cable.
There are converter boxes that will guaranteed convert digital to analog, but they can cost a bit.
Unfortunately, I believe the tv out to rca from the headphone jack was discontinued after the Captivate. That would have been a cheap and easy solution.

Hi,
I think it's possible but a don't know how it works.
MHL cable exists for HDMI connection with the micro-USB socket. HDMI provides audio and video output.
