When I tried using a cable made for camcorders with my phone I got a similar
result.

My best guess is that the camcorder cables have a slightly different connector than the ones used with smart-phones, probably because the phone's video and audio jack is the same so it has to work a little differently.

I did manage to get it working though, by pulling the connector slowly out of the phone's jack and wiggling it a bit I got a clear picture, but doing so you lose one of the audio channels.

Good luck!

i made it work. you can either order the original samsung cable (not a camcorder one but the phone one) or i heard the Nokia CA-75U works too. the nokia one is about 2€ here where the samsung is 10€..

but fml, it works.

Has the cable ever worked to your knowledge? Have you ever used a different one?

I got one of these:

and it works on CM9, AOKP, CM7 (basically all the ROMs I have flashed)
I got the same results as the OP when I first tried to do TV out but that was with a cable I already owned that came with a camcorder...
Bottom line is it will only work with a cable that is wired for the SGS (like the one I've linked to)

Did you or anyone find a solution yet? TV out used to work on my unit, but now doesn't -- tried all the suggestions below, different cables, switching around, same TV,

Ed

I have got a Nokia TV out cable (from N900) working with Samsung I9000, worked well in stock 2.3.6, CM9 and now Slim 3.7.

No problem for me

I cut 3.5 jack from headhones and use standard composite cable, first have trouble withe mess picture on tv but just need point right connects (try all combination) and voila all works (sry for bad english).

Make sure your ROM supports TV out.

Hello,

I am using 3.5 jack sometimes. But, that is not good show. Maybe, hdmi cable is good show.
