How did you get the tv out/video out to work on the touch pro 2? - Page 3

I used the 3 way adaptor (power, 3.5mm, 2,5mm) from my old Touch Pro. Cracked it open and cut the blue wire (same as pin 4). Then just plugged in a 3.5mm camcorder cable switching red and yellow wires and BOOM works flawlessly. Phone switches into TV out mode automatically.

Use it to watch Slingplayer on my Navigation system AUX input, very important when you don't want to miss those important sporting events.

I'm on my second TP2 because of the Video Out. I have the official HTC Video Cable that I used on my TP. It didn't work on my first TP2 but it did work on my second. Has anybody else recieved a TP2 that didn't work with Video Out?

This worked great but I had to do something different. I used an old multitap from the TP1 like you did. I opened it up and cut the blue wire like you did. I switched the yellow and red plugs like you did but only got a buzzing noise. I then plugged the colors into their proper color slots and voila, it works! Im on a sprint TP2 and dont know if thats why I didnt have to switch the colors or if its the cable I used. I just suggest folks try both ways but I can confirm that this does work very well. No registry edits or programs needed. Just plug it in and away you go! Thanks button hit!

This worked perfectly for me with the same adapter from my old Diamond... Cracked it open, cut the blue wire (Why? What is the blue wire? I only cut it because it said to here)... Plugged in a 3.5mm AV cable from my video camera into the 3.5mm port on the adapter, plugged yellow into red, red into yellow on the tv (And then later on my receiver), and it worked great! The TP2 switched into TV mode instantly (First time asking me if I wanted PAL or NTSC output), and I was able to look at pictures, videos, youtube, etc. Some rips of my Futurama DVD's looked great on a 42" tv.

If you have the adapter from an old Diamond, use that and save a few bucks.

Unfortunately, once you crack the adapter open, it won't snap back together again... I put some tape on temporarily, but will probably glue it later.

Only downside to this is the size of the adapter... but hard to beat "free".

Go into coreplayer Menu/tools/settings/video and uncheck QTV.

Sorry I should have clarified my issue. I wasnt running Coreplayer. I was using my slingbox on my Pioneer screen in my truck and I had the blue flicker. I know all about the Qtv driver issues and all that jazz. Its just another example of the Qtv problem I guess.

Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem. It seems fine when I use something like TF3D updating weather and things like that, but when I switch over to Slingplayer mobile, I get blue flashes all the time.

I went the 4th pin removal route, but much like you (from a previous post), when I connect to the TV, it only works if I use the proper colors (yellow to yellow, etc...) Maybe that's our problem?

Anyone think that cracking my adapter open and snipping the blue wire could help at this point? I thought that the pin and wire did the same thing, but maybe not? I'd love to get it working without the insanely annoying blue flashes, but would rather not wreck the adapter completely of course.

I'm even considering getting the OEM (or at least cheap knockoff) cables from ebay or something, but I'd be even more disappointed if the problem persisted after buying and waiting for them.

Any advice?

im alittle annoyed that my stereo port Nokia tv out doesent work. But still would like to use Tv out...is there any hack i can use to make my current cable work? if not which is the best cable to buy...a cheapo 3rd party one or are you better off buying an OEM one?
