Is Xperia Mini Pro tv-out capable?, i know it does not have an hdmi port like Xperia Pro, but i've seen some AV Cables that claims to be compatible with Xperia Mini Pro....
Also ive saw a guy who claimed that usb tv out would be possible....
And if none of the possibilities are true, whats the best way to see xperia mini pro in a tv, i was thinking of streaming but that can be a little slow... and DLNA is only for watching pics, movies, and music...
ty in advance
PS: Interesting video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rS2ly9fk-Q pair that with a stereo cable and you got a pretty decent video out (at least to watch it on a pc... and then to tv xD)
there are micro usb to av out cables avialAble in market
The latest firmware 2.3.4 for all 2011 xperias is said to be tv-out compatible.
then there are cables avialable for htc incredoble etc
Can anyone confirm if there is a way to enable tv-out on the mini pro?
Eiher via micro-jack to composite or USB to composite.
I tried it with a micro-jack to composite cable that came with my WDTV mediaplayer but that didn't work. Didn't even gave audio to the TV..
Thanks!
I have a nokia N95 Tv-out cable that worked with my samsung wave... I'll try it tonight and let you know if this works...
There doesn't appear to be anything in the Android menus that appear to activate this though....
I also want to know if our xperia mini are capable of doing TVout on HDMI or VGA. Even just for power point presentation. It would really be helpful.
I would love to use my mini as a media player and connect it to my tv in my bedroom. (320x480 is good enough on a old television)
Guys check this out!

The service menu is common to several models with different abilities.
Also for cables, search google:

Yes, but for unavailable hardware the service menu shows specific messages (not available, not installed,...). For HDMI, if I select ACTIVATE, it shows an additional screen to select resolution. It shows no data about the HDMI connection, but I guess it would, if I connected a canble...
After doing some googling I found "[email protected]" http://blog.ribomation.com/droid-at-screen/
is not what I was looking for but you can see your android screen on TV by connecting
Phone -> PC (laptop) -> TV
Works with windows/linux and uses adb.

When I connect the supplied HDMI cable between my Xperia S and TV*, I get a notification that HDMI is connected. However, TV launcher doesn't start so I cannot see anything on the TV screen.
Is it possible that an app I have installed is interfering with TV launcher?
Anything else I can try?
Xperia S on O2 UK, TV launcher is v 1.0.A.0.11.
*I've tried 3 different TVs with the same result.
I've now found a TV that it works on, so I know it's not my phone. New question: why doesn't it work on every TV?
Do you select HDMI input on your TV or you just wait until it shows up on TV screen? If the second, bear in mind some TV (if not set) they won't go to HDMI automatically.

Yes, I ensure that I select the correct input. For example on my Toshiba I use HDMI 4 which I choose before connecting the phone. When I do this, the blue Toshiba screen turns to black which probably indicates that something is physically connected to that input, but nothing happens on the phone other than the notification. I did the same on an Asus TV/Monitor and TV launcher starts. On an LG monitor at work it says that it's out of range.

Check via liveware if the tv starter is assigned to the hdmi action ;-)
Did it work on a Sony TV?
Im not sure but it might only work on other Sony products.

Hello,
I've same trouble with my samsung TV. Same notifications but no picture on TV

My phone works fine with my sony bravia tv, i can operate almost everything with my tv remote except i cant input text like in google search...
the keypad opens up but i cant select the alphabets on it, any ideas?
Fixed with ICS
The problem appears to be fixed with the ICS update.
My TV is a Samsung LE32C450E1WXXH with anynet+ CEC support and I had this problem. The best way is the update. This was helped me 'cause before the software uptade the TV doesnt recognise the remote control command to my Xperia P. But after that i turned on the Anynet+ and VOILAA that works!
I have Sony Bravia KDL-40D3500 TV and i am connecting my Xperia S using HDMI cable provided in the box
I can not browse my phone using the TV Remote at all.
Searched all the internet but no solution actually no one having this issue except me.
Even under External Inputs from TV remote i select HDMI Device Selection as Player 1 it does not work its displays following
Launching. Please wait.
Communication failed. please check your cable or connection.
Under "setting --> HDMI Setup --> Device List Update" could not able to find anything even my phone is connected. and if i select "HDMI Device List" nothing is listed there as well.
not sure what can i do but its shame the sony phone does not work with Sony Bravia. I have check the spec of this tv it says it has Bravia Sync but not sure how to locate it ?
thanks
I have a Sony Kdl, dont think its the same as yours. For the remote to work the tv launcher app needs to be running, also in the tv options I found "enable hdmi control" or simlar, it then warns you that standby will use more elec. Once I enabled this the remote worked, I used hdmi 3 too on the side
Hi
Tv launcher app is running in background even bringing it to foreground does not make any difference.
Enable hdmi control ? Where u found this option? On tv settings or xperia s?
Cause I dont see any warning abt elec at standby at all.
When u say hdmi 3 ? What this means?
So confused. Please help :-(

For HDMI 3,
I think he meant the jack number on the TV.

It does work with my Panasonic TV. Like WasherUK says, need to enable hdmi control on your TV setup.
For Panasonic, it is called Vierra Link.
On my Sony KDL tv the option is
Home Button
Setup/Hdmi Set Up/Control For HDMI = On
Yes HDMI 3 was just the 3rd HDMI input on the TV meaning the HDMI control is not exclusive to HDMI input 1
There is an option on the XS too that needs to be checked about Remote Control.

One other thing I noticed today, when you run the TV launcher if you scroll the icons with your finger on the screen before using the tv remote then the remote wont work. I had to press the home tab on the phone to close tv launcher and re run it then dont touch the screen with your finger, try the tv remote first.
I had the same issue with my sony kdl.
The first thing i had to do was to update the tv firmware!
Then, what i did was to plug the xperia to the tv via hdmi and launch the tv app.
Then on the tv i've launched the "discover hdmi peripheals". The tv saw the phone and then i was able to use the remote to control the phone.
Ok I think I got few things to try on by the time I get home.
Also how to update tv firmware.
I would like to do that if it resolves everything.
Thanks to all of you.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
tried almost everything but no luck
Here is the outcome:
My KDL40D3500 only has 2 HDMI sockets
On my remote (RM-ED009) I do not have any Home key.
I guess the MENU key is equivalent to that.
Menu-->Settings-->Set-up-->HDMI Setup contains following
HDMI Control ------------- ON
Auto Device Off ---------- ON
Auto TV On -------------- ON
Device List Update
HDMI Device List
there is nothin appeared in HDMI Device List even after doing Device List Update.
Second thing is as below:
Menu --> External Inputs --> HDMI Device Selection (greyed out when xperia is not connected)
When connected i select this option and it displays a list saying Player 1 (only in the list)
also sometimes player 1 and Player 2, which is same as the text appears on the left hand top corner of the TV.
Even i select, it says on the bottom right hand corner.
"Launching. Please wait."
then after couple of seconds
"Communication failed. please check your cable or connection."
Also i am surprise i cannot see any specific setting to BRAVIA as well.
The only thing left is to update the firmware of Sony KDL, but i dont know how to do that. looking on internet for this, if anyone knows how to update it ?
On xperia option about remote control is checked.
Very odd
When I connect my phone to the tv the tv says "Cell Phone" does yours?
Dont forget once you run the tv launcher (the screen with a few apps along the bottom and music player at the top not your normal phone home screen) dont touch the screen again, it seems you can either use the remote or your finger not both. If you use your finger you have to repeat the connection process without touching the screen for the remote to work.
Mine does not detect it at all. so nothing like cell phone
Only this happens when i connect phone
"Menu --> External Inputs --> HDMI Device Selection (greyed out when xperia is not connected)
When connected i select this option and it displays a list saying Player 1 (only in the list)
also sometimes player 1 and Player 2, which is same as the text appears on the left hand top corner of the TV."
i think i should give up, xperia s is not worth wasting time.
"on ur face SONY"
btw my phone also developed "yellow tint" on screen if used intensively for about 5-10 mins
this is apparently happened to lot of other user... see talk.sonymobile and search for "yellow tint"
Any news?
Same here. I have a KLV-37NL14A and I can not control the XS using the remote control. The TV does not recognize the XS when I update the list on the menu.
Subhan222 Resolution to HDMI
Hello Subhan222,
In order for your issue to be resolved you will need to use a high speed HDMI cable in order for it to work. If you need any other assistance please use our eSupport website at esupport.sony.com
I hope this helps!

I think you shouldn't act like that. Anyway, I don't know about your TV, but mine Samsung 32' LED Serie 5 recognizes my phone as a usual HDMI connection. To enter the HDMI mode on the phone, I just connect to the HDMI in that the cable is connected...
Hi... Not sure how u took my words but I mean to say high speed hdmi cable cannot be a solution for that. I know it works on many tv and my tv model is mentioned above. I also know it doesn't work on many tv's but I think behind this concept is to make every bravia technology virtually linked. My tv is bravia n made by Sony. If it is not supported on this tv I loose my trust on Sony. No big deal but it would be ideal to work in that. Not buying Sony product again. I have had every popular thing Sony has made but I think it's time to move on. Thanks Sony. N you guys to responding to old thread. I was already given up. Lols

Is there any way to connect my xperia u to tv.
tried dlna but does'nt worked
Thread moved to Xperia Q & A section.
is your tv on the same wifi network as your xperia u when you tried the dlna, should work, dont know of any other way if your phone doesnt have the hdmi port... Im sure there are ways if you were to set up some sort of media server but theres no point you'd be better off doing that from your laptop or something, way easier

That phone have a hdmi port? If it have one you can use the specific cable for that.
Why DLNA doesn't work? remember, both devices need to be in the same network ( i mean, same subnet) in order to work properly
Sorry for my bad english
XU has no HDMI port. Only using DLNA as was described upper, or to use Media Server - but I'm not sure if TV knows to work with shared media over WiFi...with notebook no problem, but with TV... DLNA is the way...
to connect at your Tv with DLNA, don't use the application in the menù!
Go in Albun click on the photo that you would see , and than press again! Push the icon on right top e press than press on the icon for play on a device... sorry for bad english...
Sony Tablet S aka Sony SGPT111US/S
Hey guys, I started to realize the limitations of "throwing" because you have to throw within the Video Player videos you've saved or downloaded. We do a lot of streaming sites, so I guess mirroring is what we need.
A sony rep told me that those micro usb to HDMI adapters will not work. So I would like to know if there are solutions to what I want to do? Is there a hack or something to make micro usb to HDMI adapters work? Or, an app that would allow MIRROR DISPLAY?
PLease advise, thank you.
No working solutions for what I want to do?

The Sony Tablet S does not incorporate the necessary hardware to provide MHL USB to HDMI output. The tablet does provide, as you know, some DLNA capabilities with a few of its native apps. Perhaps other apps like DLNA Server, Streambels AirPlay/DLNA Player, or BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA will meet your needs.

I remember an app which mirrors your display onto a computer and control it from their via wifi though.

Good morning all!
I have an amazing Xperia Z2 that unfortunately has a damaged touch screen.
Therefore I decided to turn it into a media streaming / gaming console device connected to a Samsung full HD tv with an MHL cable.
I have a dualshock 3 controller and the sixaxis app. The combination is perfect. (The sixaxis app isn't strictly necessary as the z2 connects to dualshock controllers through xperia connectivity - but the app makes it easy to manage mapping, profiles, etc...)
When I use this set up as a media device I have no problem. Streaming movies and music works perfectly.
The problem though is that when I try to play games there is a very significant lag that makes it impossible to play.
The interesting thing is that I tried this exact same set up (same phone, same mhl port, same HDMI cable) with another full HD tv (LG this time) at a friend's and there is no lag!!!
Any idea on how to possibly fix this? is there any requirement for the HDMI port I am missing?
I read somewhere else that the problem was with the MHL cable. But since this is working fine with a different tv it leads me to think that this issue is the HDMI port or the tv set up.....
Thanks a lot!!

What i would do is the following:
Load default tv settings
Update the tv software to the latest (Maybe a bug)
Try different hdmi ports
Check if your tv support gaming mode (soccer Mode) and enable it
I'm not an expert but that's the first things i would do.
---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------
If nothing works. Share both TV's model numbers
Thank you @Safarend!
I solved this. First I did a reset of the tv settings. Then, browsing through the menu, I found a "game mode" .
That did the trick!
Thanks again.
