[Q] TV-Out with Captivate Glide

[question_air]

Looking for some help regarding TV-Out functionalities with my Captivate Glide.
What are the available functions on this phone (MHL, TV-Out...)?

And would any of these three be suitable for my phone?

Could you explain how you set up this MHL/HDMI? Or link a cable?

Thanks.

its pretty simple. BUY an MHL cable online, and when you recieve it, connect the micro usb from the cable to your phone. on the other side of the cable/adapter is a female hdmi, where you can plug in your hdmi cable in. The MHL cable may need a power source such as a micro usb (the one you use to charge your phone) so you might need to plug that into the MHL cable. basically it gives your phone hdmi through the usb charge port

Yes I have 1 and it has to be powered via the MicroUSB to the MHL adapter. Sometimes it works great other times I have an issue getting it to display on the HDMI monitor. I bought my MHL adapter from Monoprice.com for about 12$.

Thanks for your help everyone, I'll be purchasing an MHL/USB soon.

Do any of you Captivate Glide owners know if this phone is supported by the sixaxis controller app? (using PS3 controllers on android via Bluetooth)
If not, if any of you have a chance could you test this out?

This is the testing app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...Rpb3Muc2l4YXhpc2NvbXBhdGliaWxpdHljaGVja2VyIl0.

im pretty sure it works cause of this thread about a snap on ps3 controller for android.. :
http://bit.ly/ViKmu3
the thread is in a "Captivate Glide Accessories" section with the title: "GameKlip clips a PS3 controller to your Android phone"

I found out myself, according to the developer PS3 controllers are supported via bluetooth on any phone with bluetooth 2.1 or above running an AOSP-based custom rom.
