Re: Video Cable on Ebay

Bleh...more rhetoric. Let me put my gerbil IQ to the best of my Raging Idiot abilities.

Cut to the logic. Just the facts maam.

Multiple people have failed with the 2 in 1 mini adapter which you (PolloLoco) claim to work. In fact, I think you are the only one that says it works. I had used a link you provided to the one you said would work. Do you still have the link you are willing to post back up for the world to see? Put up or shut up.

Multiple people have given good feedback to the Super-Multi-adapter (switch version) sold on ebay.

The switch mechanism on the device is there so you don't have to buy a separate adapter, or find a separate adapter, or whatever. I thought that was self-evident. It's just a simple splitter, not rocket science. That's all it is.
So yes, it can be claimed to have all the functions it has, as no other adapter has all those functions...indeed, they also don't all come with a detachable rca cable that you can use for other things. I've found zero feedback or quality problems in hooking up one or multiple tvs when using this adapter. I haven't seen another adapter or adapter mod yet that will allow you to still talk on all of the 3 ports...2.5, 3.5, and USB like this one.

Multiple people have failed at making a "perfect" DIY solution on the first attempt. Mine was not a failure, just a rather bad visual imperfection from some spillover from the glue...I'm willing to bet it happens on the vast majority that try this. Also, some have claimed other problems such as some sort of "tv-out confusion" which the phone locks up, and other situations with breaking the case.

I come here only after feeling slightly misled by advertisments from people claiming $16 with free shipping for a certain cable, which isn't true, probably just a mistake, but still misleading...and then misled again by the 2in1 mini adapter mod, which doesn't work...and then misled again about the cutting the blue wire is all that is needed and everything works great. It does not all just work great...there is an unfortunate side effect of this...
You lose the ability to use your headphones and can not talk with it anymore. Maybe not a big deal to some, but really I prefer having the adapter for this rather than the TV/out function, so to have both is really the ideal.
Also, you still have to get the correct type of RCA cable for everything to work.
Someone here said the Lyra Video Jukebox cable would work...I happen to have one and can tell you it is terrible.
I know everyone is just wanting to help out and some really like the "thanks" etc but really... in the end the best solution for me was the all in one adapter that I and others have tried and approved. That guy is quite sharp and I asked about any future projects and apparently he's working on something that will really blow this away anyway...I'm not giving it away but he mentioned it would be done in 1-2 weeks so stay tuned...and be nice!
