Looking for Answers about samsung ECC1TX1BBEG?

Hi Nucklehead,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The SGH-T959V does not support a direct TV-out capability found on other handsets to playback media. The handset can playback media through DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).

To allow other DLNA-enabled devices to access media files on your device, you must activate media sharing, please follow the instructions from the link below:

Hi there,

Thank you for your inquiry. Regarding your concern, upon checking the specifications and settings on the T-Mobile® Sidekick® 4G Android Smartphone (SGH-T839), the phone does not support a direct TV-out capability found on other handsets to playback media or documents.

However, if your television or monitor is DLNA-enabled television and you have a Wi-Fi network or Home-based station at your home for Wi-Fi connection, you can playback media files saved on the SGH-T839 handset on your television using Allshare application.

Again, we thank you for comments and appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.

We appreciate your continued interest in Samsung products.

Configuring TV-Out

Press the Home Key
Press the Menu Key
Tap on Settings
Tap on Sound and display
Sweep down and tap on TV out
Tap on TV out the Home Key

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connecting & Viewing On TV

1. Locate the Composite inputs on the TV and plug in all the pin
2. Plug in the 3.5mm end of the cable into your phone.
3. Depending on input location, find the Source selection on the TV
4. The TV should now display what is currently displayed on the phone.

At this point, you can access media files on the phone for playback on the TV.
