galaxy w tv-out?

---

i put a question on the Samsung question page for the galaxy w about how to get the phone to connect to a tv without allshare as we don't have that option.

it seems hard to word it how they want as they declined the question first time round but eventually accepted it and stated that i could use a 3.5mm to rca tv out cable but didn't state if anything needed to be done to enable a setting anywhere. now they won't allow the extra question so i just tried it in the tv but no good.

am i missing a setting somewhere maybe?

the posts that generally come up if i google it are for the galaxy s which has a specific setting for tv-out but the W doesn't.

bump, any ideas guys?

Don't know why but I do have all share on my phone if its missing from yours I guess you just have to add it.

see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1465668

thanks for the reply mate.

i do have allshare but the tv doesn't utilise it as it's a Sony unless i am missing something.

thanks again, any other suggestions guys?

i spoke to samsung today who at first said the W could use a 3.5mm rca cable and to just enable tv-out in the display settings. when i told her that setting wasn't there she said she'd look into it more and get back to me, guess what, she didn't.

is this maybe a software thing with the hardware part being possibly capable of doing it or the opposite?

thanks guys

As far as I know, you can't do that directly.

I think the only way is to hook your computer/laptop to the TV and then use something like this method described here - howtogeek.com/howto/42491/how-to-remote-view-and-control-your-android-phone/ to stream the live video feed from your phone to your computer - and thus to your TV.

But again, I'm not entirely sure that you can't just directly hook the phone to the TV.

hi all!!! everyone have a nokia cable tv to try??? or a micro usb -> hdmi to try it??? i want to buy but i'm not sure if is good for own galaxy W....sorry for my bad english

Got to admit it sucks not having TV-Out when they say you do. I'm sure the phone is more than capable to do this.

I just tried the tv-out thing with a hdmi adaptor made by samsung and it dosent work at all.
