HAS anyone picked up that nokia 3.5mm cable to rca connector on the 3.5mm jack on the vibrant (TMO GALAXY S ONLY!!) to see if video and audio gets sent out? It might only appear when you actually connect a tv... so if you have it check it out and let me know.. with rooting,flash support soon, bluetooth keyboard and mouse... i wont really need a laptop.

I ordered a 3.5mm cable to 3 rca connector last week but it's not Nokia.
I'll let you know when I get the phone.
Yes, both audio (stereo) and video is sent via the 3.5mm cable, used this to watch a movie the other day.

Awesome thanks.
Well I guess im sold.. `CHEERS!
Is there a specific cord needed to make this work?
what exactly is the process i know you go to setting/sound and display/tv out/check the tv out box and then put tv system on PAL? or NTSC? I attempted to use the Apple brand 3.5mm to Video/RCA out cable and it didnt work so........?

yeah i had one that the red was the video
I plugged mine into a Zune (Gen 1) AV cable that I have connected to my head unit in my car...turned on TV out and it worked like a champ.
FWIW, Avatar on the Vibrants is DRMed and it disables the TV out when you play it. You can watch the trailer just fine, but firing up the actual movie brings up a message about not being able to display it on the TV.
Hooked up my Acer to my HDTV with a HTC cable I had (HTC HDMI Cable - D-type to A-type connector) . Really nice quality and it mirrors the Acer (meaning whatever is shown on the Acer is shown on the TV). This is nice after my experience with my HTC EVO 4g phone... only certain apps on the phone would output to the TV. A little of the display was cut off as my HDTV has limited overscan, but it was great for watching websites with flash video or watching downloaded movies.

I love it, and it works exceptionally well. I have been playing NFS Shift on my 90 inch screen and looks every bit as good as on the tablet screen. I was a little concerned with what the quality was going to be like, but my worries were put to rest. I had my droid x hdmi cable that work with the tab perfectly. It's a good thing cuz I never used it for my droid x as it does not mirror the display like this tab does. I give kudos to Acer for building an outstanding product.

Haha NFS is so good on my TV also. I play it more than my consoles atm.

Cable Sensitivity
My HDMI out is very sensitive to the position of the cable. For instance, if I lay the Acer on a flat surface the HDMI out works great. Once I lift the tablet and cause any downward strain to the HDMI connection I lose the signal. If I hold the cable in place while holding the tablet I get the signal again.
Is this a defect specific of my tablet or is this an issue with the connection using mini HDMI? If a few of you are playing NFS I'm assuming I may have a loose HDMI out connector.
Faulty HDMI out
Well I took the Acer back to BB after further inspecting the connection. The HDMI out of the A500 was so loose that the slightest movement caused the output connection to be lost. Best Buy was extremely accommodating including offering to custom cut an anti-glare screen protector that I had applied myself in order to match the product I was exchanging.
We tested the device's HDMI output and all is well. Wel except me having to start over and re-configure a new tablet
Good to hear. My cable should be arriving today but I think I now made a mistake buying a 6' cable. It was only $4.50 so ill see how it works ands will probably get a 15' for playing games.

A500 not connecting to TV through HDMI
Hey all,
Seeing as you are discussing cables and HDMI here, figured this may be the best spot for my question.
I recently bought an A500 tab 32GB and have been trying to connect it to my Panasonic 127cm Plasma TV through HDMI.
Ordered a HDMI to HDMI mini cable (type A to C) and tried to connect the tablet to the TV, but no luck.
The Tab screen shows HDMI connected but the TV screen remains black and there is no mirroring at all.
Any advise? Could it be the cable, tab or TV?
Unfortunately don’t have other devices with HDMI that I could test
Thanks for the help

Take it into the local electronics store and test it on a TV there. Act like you're interested in the TV and you wanted to test it out with your tablet.

You've completely missed my point. I have ordered plenty from here. I am asking is there something I missed? Or should I simply return it for exchange? Video was fine but no audio... gonna try my other TV.

I'm sensing a little sarcasm, or at least I hope you have more faith in me than that.
Edit: Now thats weird, audio worked fine on my other TV.
The TV not working has HDMI coming from my Denon receiverinto HDMI 1, but I use my receiver and surround sound for the audio... Just thought of something though, because the TV volume doesn't work for cable TV unless the receiver is off...
I got this cable from Amazon.com, 15 feet, and it has worked fine on two different tv's.
Eh, starting to wonder if the speakers on my TV are bad. I've used my receiver speakers exclusively for a long time and never use the TV speakers. When the receiver is off, the audio is suppose to bypass the receiver and route the the TV speakers... I get nothing now. And no audio on a completely separate HDMI input on the same TV. The fact I got audio on my second TV is enough fto convince me the cable is fine. Time to talk to Best Buy about my main TV...
just for info:
i just checked the HDMI to VGA converter with my Iconia and it works perfect.
Manufacturer: Ligawo
Part no: HMVM01501
Where did you buy it? The only result when Googling "ligawo HMVM01501" is this thread lol.

The only thing you can do with audio in that situation to hear it externally is to plug speakers into your headphone port
Sorry, I meant what are you doing, as I am aware of what would need to be done I am using straight HDMI to my TV anyways and it doesn't apply, but figured I'd ask to get answers to help out others who hit up the thread.
since this tab takes HDMI micro or HDMI "D" are you guys using the Acer dock?
Looks like they'd have to be. I got a 15 foot micro HDMI to full HDMI cable for dirt cheap at monoprice.com

I have a recording studio on my computer, and have just got a cable in which to connect from my Transformer's 3.5mm audio out to my computer's RCA input. It works fine connecting to my Galaxy S's headphone slot, can record perfectly, but the bigger screen on my Transformer is what I am after.
Can anyone help me at all? Thank you.
Um well... Whats the issue? 3.5mm -> rca adapter, plug 3.5mm end into the TF, plug red/white RCA into the PC, profit?
Hmm, think it might be the cable. I've read about issues with the Transformer audio port, but the cable just about works about halfway in.

Well I just tried for fun, using the same cable as you (3.5mm -> rca) to hook the TF up to my stereo. It worked as expected - flawless.
So its not that the TF isnt working with such a cable (which wouldnt make any sense anyway).
So yea, start with trying another cable. If that doesnt work, try a headset or something on the TF and check if that works.
I think the cable is a bit lose, every other cable works fine with my transformer. I might try claiming a refund, the left and right sides are labelled the wrong way round, but the quality is high once plugged in. But yes, another cable needed.

Does a micro USB cable ---> car charger power + audio 3.5mm connector exist? Coming from the iPhone I had such a cable that was convenient, only 1 connector to plug in the car, not to mention that with 2 cables on the N4 it would be very weird, power at the bottom, 3.5mm jack on top, at least they could have put them on the same side ... While my car has bluetooth, it doesn't support A2DP, my only option is audio through a cable into the AUX in.

Unfortunately I don't think that will work for me as I still want my N4 to connect to the car's integrated bluetooth for phone calls. I don't think it would be able to connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time.

You might want to double check that the Nexus 4 has proper USB audio capabilities. The Galaxy Nexus never did, and as such, using the headphone jack or Bluetooth were the only options. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any USB audio for the Nexus 4, but then again, I've never tried or researched.

I've tried to dig around a bit, but can't seem to get any confirmation. With the cable being $6 and free shipping though, can't really go wrong. I may just get one to try it out, but not sure, weighing my options at the moment.

I know for a fact that audio output through the usb port is supported because I've used it. I do not however have any knowledge of the build quality or pinout of that particular cable.
