[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
if there is one thing i know it is video cables. i guarantee that if you use yellow for video on a proper cable it will look better. though it will never look as good as the phone screen because composite video is incapable of passing that resolution.

video cables are 75ohms look it up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable

check the how it works section of this wikipedia article.standing waves [more or less cable resonance, a organ pipe effect but with electricity] caused by the cable being dissimilar to the transmitter and reciever can cause an artifact that is often called dot crawl. dot crawl is also associated with push a resolution that is too high throgh the cable so you may not eliminate it completely but the overall clarity will be better iwth proper cables

ill look later but i saw a table with different products and the pin mapping for various devices. im pretty sure the i9000 uses a different pin mapping causing part or the headset issues with i9000 kernels. (i believe this is a combination between cable differences and mapping of hardware inputs)
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
mine works just fine on my LG 42 " flatpanel no video corruption.

the knock off cable i have, even the yellow, doesnt meet the wikipedia standards you told me to read.

its the same type of wire and quality as the audio cables.

thats why it was 3$ on ebay.

but it works PERFECT.

but i dont the top of the line $300 each monster audio cables.
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
it is not something you can measure with a multi meter. 75 ohms is measured @ about 3mhz (i think) and can be a result of a slight inductive effect or the skin effect caused by high frequency electricity.

monster cables are a scam. as long as it meets the 75 ohm standard and is well shielded it will work just fine.

it is possible that some of the knock off stuff only use 75ohm cables only so the audio part of the cable is using the 75ohm standard as well. you may not be able to tell a 75ohm cable from an audio cable. if in a set they often look identical with only the yellow connector to give it away.

in my experience there is a clear dot crawl any time i have attempted to use audio cables for video. this is apparent any time two colors meet on the screen horizontally. it looks like an interlocking pattern of tiny boxes alternating between the two colors. the boxes will apper to walk across the line that the colors intersect.

it may not be visible depending on the frequency of the standing wave which will be determined by the length of the cable and the intensity. there may also be some sort of filtering in the tv that improves the image to some degree.
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
i know it cannot be measured. but its not shielded cable

but it works fine on my cheap dvd player in my van too with a 15' cable. great for gps..

no ghosting no dot crawling..
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
fair enough. i guess. just trying to give good information. if someone complains about image quality they might want to know that proper cables cant hurt.
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
true and like wise the cheapies might work perfectly..

all in fun and learning...
[Captivate Accessories] keitaroguy:
do I have to make sure all three are plugged in or is it alright that I just have the video one in.
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
just video should be fine after enabling in options.

menu button> settings > display > tv out (check) and (NTSC or PAL)

try each one if the yellow dosnt work
[Captivate Accessories] keitaroguy:
Do Kernals and Different ROMs have different resualts??
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
most roms are set to PAL for europe by default just change to NTSC for north america
[Captivate Accessories] keitaroguy:
But Roms/kernels don't make a difference?
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
there shouldnt be a probl;em with any current 2.2 rom. i havent tried with 2.3 but would also expect that to work.

is it possible you have a cable for an i9000?

http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/images/av-pinouts-zune.jpg

i am trying to find a chart like this for the sgs phones. i saw it somewhere, notice there are 2 possible rings for the ground. if the cable has the wrong ground ring it wont work on a captivate. i am pretty sure the i9000 and vibrant use a different ground ring from captivate.

Hey I'm using the ultimate droid rom for the g2. And it must have got discontinued because I xant find it anywhere. So I'm looking for a replacement rom. Looking for vanilla, no sense (ew). And something with a good kernal maybe the 1.8 or 1.9OC? Anyways looking for better preformance and not a downgrade from what I'm using.

I left ud for pyromod. The dev can be a **** though(yeah I said it) . But now I'm on the gingerbread leak for the g2 and perfect after adding a few things. Pyro is good, xboarders stuff is good too, stock gingerbread rocks.

You are aware that xda isn't the only place in the world to get roms right? If you used this crazy new invention called google you wouldn't of even made the discontinued statement
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowOokami:
indeed.... UD became blackdroidmod.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beagan:
can anyone please tell me how this UD rom is better than Cyanogen?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gwanatu:
It's got some different options, not sure if it's better than CM7 though. I would wholeheartedly recommend meXdroid or Pyromod here; both are CM7 variants that have great themes with some tweaks to CM7's base. Users of UD would probably feel right at home with either.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2brick:
Guess I should try this Pyro mod
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Also your not going to find any rom comming with a 1.8ghz standard. Thats for advanced users and you need to make it work yourself so you dont fry your phone. I would recomend you stick to 1.5ghz tops. You wont notice any difference anyway unless your trying to compete with quad/linepack scores....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2brick:
Well I'm just looking to have it. I run my G2 at 1ghz. I just like having the ability to have more.

[Networking] jM2.me:
Hello ladies and dudes :D

I have HTC HD2 TMOUS and obviously my carrier is TMOBILE US.

I was checking different roms for it and I noticed one thing.

On some, if not most, htc sense roms I was able to receive facebook, email, twitter, etc updates without having a data plan nor wifi.

I believe I have had data turned on the phone but I do not have actual data plan.

So I was working and had to check something on the phone and accidently opened email. And I noticed that it started to sync and I was like "Meh, whatcha doing stupid, I have no data plan". But All suddenly it pulled all recent email and I was able to read them even with images.

Then I tried facebook widget thing and it was pulling data too, as well as twitter.

Then I switched to vanilla froyo rom and the data thing was gone :eek:

Now I am wondering, is there a specific port that tmobile provides for free data but with maybe limited speed? or bandwidth?

Or maybe special APN settings?

I would love to see that back because it's kinda useful sometimes.

Hope someone can explain to me what it was about and if it's possible to get back.

P.S. I didn't have my wifi turned on. Plus it worked at different locations but only with data turned on in settings and with 3g+ on.

P.P.S. I did not get charged for data and I do not have data plan for sure.

P.P.P.S. I know tmobile provides free 2mb when you open new line, but this isnt my case, had this line for about half a year.

P.P.P.P.S. I don't care if the speed is 20kb/s or 3kb/s or hell 1kb/s
[Networking] MacaronyMax:
Woah that's awesome, Although I know nothing about T-Mobile Policies etc. Firstly though, Are you sure you haven't been charged?
[Networking] johnston9234:
sorry if im skeptical but i find it hard that your OS is affecting when you are able to get your data. Also, if you are getting data i would assume that your carrier is billing you like crazy without you realizing it
[Networking] coldest~~~:
Go to my T-Mobile. Com and see if u have any data show up in ur usage. But I know that T-Mobile wont automatically add data plan to your account without notify you.
[Networking] jM2.me:
As I wrote before. I have double checked and I have NOT been charged extra.

I beleive that kernel might have something in it or APN settings.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoiMaD:
I have noticed over the last few ROM flashes (currently on SR4) that for some reason my ringtones are duplicated at least twice, as well as notification sounds and alarm sounds. I am sure the answer is simple as to why but I have not had any luck finding anything on XDA or Google. Can someone explain to me why this is happening?

Thanks!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirftwx:
When you say this, do you mean you hear two audible duplicate sounds - or are they listed twice somewhere.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoiMaD:
Sorry, listed twice when you go to choose a ringtone, alarm, or notification sound.

[Galaxy S II General] D4rK.F0rcE:
obviously, samsung has a huge communication problem! It is really a shame that samsung cannot inform retailers with the right specifications and release dates... the phone is already released in one shop in the UK, but there is no press release about it, instead some "samsung workers" are twitting contradicting tweets which just increases confusion. The phone ist ultimately due to release and there is still no word about a world shipping plan... if apple does something better than samsung than communication!
[Galaxy S II General] Radukk:
Yes it is. But NFC and minor funtion changes are subject to wireless company, not to country. And.. there are 120 country and 170 companies pull off SG2 together and talking about minor differences b/w companies possibly related their contract or some. I hope sammy make big chart comparing every SG2s.

quotes from http://www.popularmechanics.com/tec...-your-phone-during-a-traffic-stop-5587825?rss

"According to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) letter to the director of the Michigan State Police on April 13, that department has several forensic cellphone analyzers deployed in the field. Forensic analyzers are routinely used in police investigations to recover data from computers and other digital devices."

"According to Cellebrite's product description, the UFED can grab email, Web bookmarks, Web history, SIM data, cookies, notes, MMS, instant messages, Bluetooth devices, locations, journeys, GPS fixes, call logs, text messages, contacts and more. '

You can call me paranoid but if this gets to be a major issue, is there a way to protect our information on our phones?

EDIT

After some searching here are a few other threads with concerns about the UFED: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043865

Came across this little bit of info and it might help stop the UFED. Its a review but it states which type of phones are not compatible with the UFED.....gotta make our phones software more similar to the Chinese software they use for their mobile devices???? And locked SIM cards must be unlocked also prior to extracting.

http://www.forensickb.com/2010/03/how-do-you-extract-information-from-45.html

I might be WAY OFF so somebody correct me. But doesn't the RAM hold everything like encryption keys or passwords if the phone is off or locked or something? So it doesnt matter if u get rid of your SD card or SIM card.......

Read this Devs it might help with prevention:

throw them away. put your tinfoil hat on, and dig a deep hole. if you circumvent it, and the police want / need to read it - which they probably never will - but if they can't, they're only going to get the rubber gloves out and throw you in guantamo prison.

[Atrix 4G General] wackyD:
Is the update available OTA?
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
I am not rooted, 100% stock with few apps.

I did not get the update from the phone I had to get it from here: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/Software_Update_Landing_Page

I plugged my phone into my computer and downloaded their software and it did its thing. It took a while though, 15-30 minutes or so I was not keeping track.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
That is extremely long for a small update.. o.o
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
Well I had to download some stuff, and it downloaded other stuff and restarted a few times and whatever. I agree it took a while and it will probably be faster for those who get it on their phones but I was not getting it on my phone so I did the next best thing :)
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
It's been about 5 minutes and it's still checking for an update? o.o
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
If your going the computer route let it do its thing. Once you tell it dont go, even if it doesnt move anywhere, let it go. It was on "checking for update" FOREVER! and then it was at 0% forever and then it jumped around and my computer kept saying new flash this and drivers that were installed and suddenly the phone restarted and it was done.

So let it do its thing it takes a long time.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Yeah it said the flash stuff already, and its stuck at 0 now. I believe ya thanks for the tips (:

Oh.. my gawwdd.. These speeds are rather sexy.. 5.5mbps download, and 1.2 mb upload. and that was from KS and im in CALI. Gonna turn gps on and get a proper ping from nearby (:

[Atrix 4G General] jysue:
It's odd, with all these people getting it - I am not getting it also. The software also tells me there is no available updates...

Motorola's software landing is extremely slow. When installing 4.1.57 through this yesterday prior to installing the beta update 4.1.83, I found it takes a loooooonnggg time even to search for updates, let alone install them. Also, I found it would not work (connect to my phone) unless I had USB debugging enabled, and mass storage selected. I also had to plug my phone in after I had started the update software on my PC. I did this all 3 times yesterday due to attempts to install 4.1.83 under different conditions, and it took longer to update to 4.1.57 than it did the flash back to 4.1.26.

Do you lose root on update from .57 to .83? I suppose that old retainroot method still works? Or do we have to use gingerbreak or whatever it's called? I don't have an external micro sd card, and it seems gignerbreak wipes internal sd.

Ignore the PDF. It still installs 1.8.3.

I just did it. It installed just fine over the top of GingerBlur 2.5. I lost root, but using kennethpenn's Gingerbreak.exe got it back painlessly. My widgets all died in the 1.8.3 upgrade. My gingerbread apps got replaced by their Froyo versions. All in all about as painless as could be expected. I don't seem to have lost any data.

The Motorola Software Update PC side won't find an update.

I'm in the Southern New Hampshire area. Hopefully it rolls out to me today.

Is it likely it isn't showing an update because I had flashed the radio file the other day, or perhaps the update was recalled (as rumored)?
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
The moto software update takes so long because it actually downloads the SBF. At least it did with the .57 update for me. I don't remember where it puts the files (and I'm at work and can't check now, natch), but I was able to find the .57 SBF after it downloaded the update but before it started to flash it.
[Atrix 4G General] FNugget:
Does it work from .57 to .83, or just from the old one, .26? psneuter keeps failing. I don't have an SD card, so I can't use gingerbreak.

What is this reformatting? I sideloaded the GingerBreak.apk and used it to obtain root. It did not reformat my SD card (internal or external).
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
I have just seen a lot of discussion of gingerbreak wiping sd cards, perhaps doesn't apply to the apk. So you sideload gingerbreak.apk with 1.5.7, then run 1.8.3 OTA? Sorry for the noobishness, still in my first month with the droid world.
