[Captivate General] wasilvers:
So I finally got printing all worked out on my captivate. I have a wireless printer and really want to leave the laptop on the desk and use my phone for everything. The one major problem has been printing. Finally, here's an answer...

To Print from your Captivate, it will cost you about $4.50 (or limit yourself to 3 docs a month.)

General Printing - test this first

Get PrintBot from the market (free version to test out - supposed to cover 2700 wireless printers)

Open it and setup your printer. My settings are...

Network Connection : Protocol - Auto Printer - choose your own ;)

Printer : Re-select your printer

And print a test page. If this works, you are in business

Printing an Excel or Word Document:

Printbot is great for pictures and pdfs, but it doesn't print office docs, so those that your coworker emailed you just sit there :( So here's the great workaround.

First make sure you install these two programs:

From the market, find and install google documents, open it and sign in. Make sure you can use this on your cappy.

From the market, find "My Docs - Google Docs" (by RCS, LLC), install it and sign in.

Now you are about ready! Don't give up hope to soon!

You must upload your file to Google Docs, but for some odd reason it doesn't allow you to upload xls into it (unless I'm and idiot and can't find the upload button). But "My Docs" allows this. So open up My docs, click upload, and choose your file. It will be uploaded to your google docs account. You can close mydocs, it has served it's purpose.

Open your google documents (called "Docs" in the app drawer), find the file you uploaded (don't need to open it), from the arrow on the right side - open the pull down menu and click "SEND", choose "PrintBot" from the menu and your doc should start to print. Whew! Lots of steps, but it's done and printed. Caution! Watchout for multipage excel files, it will print each and every worksheet.

And Finally Printing Email from Gmail:

For some crazy reason, none of these programs interface easily. So you are in your gmail app and want to print off your free redbox rental code or some password you keep forgetting. Leave the email alone and open up your browser (yep, back to the www).

Go to the online version of mobile gmail. Sign in and open the email you want to print (I set up a shortcut on my homescreen). On the right side of the email, open the pulldown menu (double down arrows) and click "Print". This will open up google cloud print. You should have an option to "save to google docs" where it converts your email to a pdf and stores it in google docs. Then click "PRINT", it will create a pdf document of your email. you can close the www, or just surf around for a while...

Now back to google documents on you phone, find the pdf, click the menu on the right, click send and send it to Printbot. It will print your pdf.

And that's the whole 99 steps to printing documents with your captivate. OO) Actually it works pretty quick as long as you use your home wifi. I tested it with excel, word, and gmail files.

Good luck - Will
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Or, check out Cypria Free from the market.
[Captivate General] shisir123:
thanks
[Captivate General] wasilvers:
That would work for photos, but I wanted emails, excel, word too. Plus Cypria is epson printers. But I'm sure it works great for most uses.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Sorry about the epson part. Wasn't thinking about everyone else.

Try Printer	Share from the market. Works for more printers and prints almost everything.
[Captivate General] wasilvers:
That looks like it would work better, and has the with the ability to choose which pages to print. A bit more expensive, but probably worth it of you printed a fair number of pages.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
It was free in Amazon app market a while back. Maybe the will do it again.

Hey guys, I'm working on a Ubuntu port to my a500 but I can't seem to get my wireless keyboard to work. I have a combo wireless keyboard and mouse that works off of one usb plug; the mouse works but the keyboard won't type anything. It's a logitech mk320. Any help is appreciated-

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] ickata:
Im using a Logitech MK220 wireless combo with no problems at all. Mouse and keyboard with a single usb dongle. See if it works on your pc if you havent, check batteries and stuff.
[Acer Iconia A500] officetally:
Well, it does work on pc, I'm typing with it right now. I just bought it- batteries are fine. Like I said, mouse works on tablet but not the keyboard... any other ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] hiruna:
sorry not sure if u already fixed ur issue but I just bought a MK220 and it works fine with my N8010 . tips: restart the andorid while the logitech reciever is plugged in. if it doesnt work for some odd reason, take out the batteries of the mouse and plug in the reciever and restart. (this will not pair the mouse)

hope it works,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] barningham1:
Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has got the Nook Tablet to run Honeycomb off the Micro SD card. I have found many places that show how to do it with the Nook color, but I have tried a few different ways. No luck. I don't know if the Nook tablet doesn't boot from the SD card by default, or what I am doing wrong. I have just enough knowledge to follow directions to try and honeycomb. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a nook tablet that I rooted using the directions found on this website.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
Nope

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patruns:
The Tablet has a signed bootloader that has not been successfully conquered yet. You really should do a little more research before you blindly follow internet instructions. :cool:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] barningham1:
Thanks for the response! I did research the Nook Tablet quite a bit before I tried doing any changes. I have rooted a couple other devices, and the first thing I look for is how to undo anything I try. In my research for running Honeycomb on the Nook Tablet everything I found, was one way or another, a link back to the Nook Color. Thanks again for for the response!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] garretthylltun:
While I do love my Nook Tablet, I loathe the app market it has. I look forward to the day when someone breaks this beast so we can install a clean android base on it. I think the NT with a clean unmolested base will freakin rock.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ThyGizmo:
Fingers crossed as well...

Also Love my NT!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
I also don't think that the devs will ever release honeycomb for your nook touch, since the ice cream sandwich source is already out ;)

Sent from my SGH-T989
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I think some people who are newer here get confused. While I do agree that research should be done before posting, the fact that if you google Nook Tablet, you get results for "Nook Color Tablet" included in the results, which confuses some people. It would have been nice of B&N to call it something a little more distinctive, such as Nook *____* where *____* is anything other than the word "Tablet".

Also, the fact that Nook (Simple) Touch also exists, people get confused by NT as seen in another post in this thread. However, being as this is the Nook Tablet forum, that shouldn't generally be the case for most.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Hey guys, I constantly have random hot reboots. No pattern or anything, it just happens. I have asked a few guys in Calkulin's forum... everyone offered help... but no one actually helped me fix the issue.

Basically, I am on Calk's 2.0. Only other thing I flashed was Overstew's ICS theme (I used themeporter). No, my issue isn't the theme. I have had these issues since Calk's 1.5. Theme or no theme.

Here's my routine of setting roms up:

Manually wipe everything -sd card.

Use Calk's Format All.

Flash Calk's 2.0 and Overstew's theme.

Reboot.

Install Titanium, but only restore apps (41 apps), no data.

Set LauncherPro as my default launcher.

Setup my settings.

Just using Calk's stock battery saver script. No overclocking or undervolting.

I have tried wiping and new downloads several times. I wiped my external sd card. I even removed it, for a while.

Any ideas? I had a logcat during the hot reboot too. It had some errors around GPS right before it rebooted.

Thanks

P.S. I also had the same issue on my old Evo 3d. I just thought it was my hardware...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
Undervolting is what Calk himself recommends to fix hot reboots. It's in the OP on his ROM threads. Also different kernels. Tried any of that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
Actually, he recommends restoring the Stock Voltages to remove the default undervolting.

"Having random reboots or freezes?

Try flashing the Calkulin's_Undervolt_Stock_mV_Settings_for_E4GT zip attached or flash a different kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] <3me:
first thing that comes to mind is the viper los script
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
I don't have the Viper LOS. I have tried different kernels. Plus, isn't 2.0 using Rogue's stock anyway?

I'm not undervolted. 2.0 can't be undervolted without using tegrak :/ all great suggestions... it's driving me insane that I can't figure this out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am on Calks 1.5 rom and do not have any reboot issues. The first thing I do when I flash any new Rom is put back the stock pulled kernel and I believe this is the most stable of them all and I also have never seen an LOS on it.

Do you have any battery saving apps or task manager apps running? I know these have caused issues like this as well...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
No. Nothing! I had stock pulled kernel before. Maybe I will try it again. But isn't it the same as Rogue stock + boot animation and init.d?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AsinX:
I used to have random reboots with different lockscreens from the AIO mod. Had no lockscreen and had no reboots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Odom Project:
Definately recommend stock kernel and restoring stock volt settings. As for Los, ek02 fixes it

If I was helpful, give thanks :)

Hey I remember chatting with you in the Calk rom thread. "OP"

As a update to my situation. I was also having random hot reboots on EVERY rom I was on UNTILL my latest combination of Kernal / Rom.

My current setup is Kernal: EK02 and my rom is Calk v2.0 which is built on the EK02 stock build.

I have yet to have any hot reboots. My current Up Time is 38:58 which means I have not did a battery pull or reboot in 38 hours.

I also use Titanium Backup to restore about 30 apps + data on my end, and MyBackup Pro to restore bookmarks / texts

For the first time it looks like my hot reboots are currently fixed. I dont use any undervoltages and no SetCPU no custom launcher and no custom lockscreen. Everything Stock and all 7 home screens nearly filled with icons and picture frames ect...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
I was using Rogue's kernel and was going to switch to stock today, as that was the only thing I didn't do... but I was in the middle of calibrating my battery this morning and I was getting great battery life. Well, 15 hours later, not one hot reboot, light usage (lots of texts through google voice and xda, and a little browsing) with a screen on time of 1:45 and I'm at 54%. Has my issue been fixed? I have no idea. Am I happy at the moment? F*ck yeah.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
After jumping to the EK02 Rom and Kernal Im also a happy camper now.

No reboots / No los / No lag / No dieing battery.

Now if only Sprint could fix there slow 3G that be great.

On the topic of battery, I never calibrated or did anything special but I noticed my phone can last 12hours + without charge if I turn off 3G when Im not using it. For example I work in a warehouse where I get good signal for calls and texts but 3G is mad slow, so I turn 3G off but am still able to recieve texts and calls and my battery life doubles in that period of time. Soon as I turn 3G back on, battery starts to die faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Hello Android Developers | ROM Flashers | Hackers | Modifiers | "I want my phone to look cool" People

First of all, I'd like to point out a few interesting things about this device.

-This is an Android powered phone that is officially supported to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread

-The is the Galaxy S

4G

. It is part of the Original Galaxy S (1st Generation) series and was once offered by ]"THREE" carriers. Mainly T-Mobile, secondly Wind Mobile, and most infrequently, Telus. The unique think about this phone is it was the first 4G Galaxy S Phone on T-Mobile.

-The model numbers are SGH-T959V(For T-Mobile), SGH-T959W(For Wind Mobile), and SGH-T959P(For Telus).

-A vast majority of support on this forum goes to the SGH-T959V for T-Mobile as it is the most common. There are a few T959W users on this forum who also have a few important threads, as well as if you are a T959W user, it is smart to note that yes, you can generally flash T959V roms, yet, you should "NOT" flash T959V Bootloaders and other such partitions such as the Boot, SBL, and Param sections as this MAY result in a permanent brick.

-There are no current T959P specific posts, and it is unknown whether there are any Telus users here. It is currently unknown but probably consistent that these users may be able to flash T959V roms.

OST OR ASK QUESTION

NOW THE MAIN POINT

First, If you haven't read the above section.

GO BACK AND READ IT

MAIN MESSAGE

To all noobs, the T-Mobile (WInd or Telus) Galaxy S 4G is NOT internally similar to its predecessor, the T-Mobile Galaxy S Vibrant which lacks 4G and Gingerbread support.

If you flash a Galaxy S Vibrant ROM, your phone may (and probably will) die, and will likely be void from warranty if you still have it!

You should only flash ROMS available in THiS forum. All other Galaxy S variants including Galaxy S I9000, and other Galaxy S SGH model ROMS, Galaxy Y ROMS, Galaxy S II ROMS, Galaxy S III ROMS, Galaxy Note I ROMS, Galaxy Note II Roms, Galaxy Note 10.1 ROMS, Galaxy Tab ROMS, Galaxy Player ROMS, and any other Android Phone ROM will also kill the phone.

The label, Galaxy S doesn't mean Galaxy S "4G". There is a "HUGE" difference.

THERE ARE NOW AN INCOMING FLOOD OF GALAXY S "4" USERS.... THIS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DEVICE... PLEASE POST IN THE FORUM THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE MODEL NUMBER BEHIND YOUR BATTERY

THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS WARNING IS TO STOP GALAXY S 4G AND GALAXY S VIBRANT USERS FROM FLASHING ROMS THAT ARE NOT FROM THEIR EXACT PHONE'S FORUM AS WELL AS TO STOP AN INCOMING FLOOD OF GALAXY S 4 USERS TO POST QUESTIONS IN HERE

Bump for sticky.

Bump bump BUMP!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Seriously, sticky this beast. Its almost every day I see a thread with some poor sap who didn't do ANY research, has a bricked phone because he was trying to flash a vibrant ROM XD
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zelendel:
While part of me says that if they can't bother to do the research before messing with a very expencive device then they deserve to be bricked with a voided warranty but then the other part says that this is good info so it is now stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
i do have to agree that this is good info, but isn't this referring to #3 in the 10 commandments thread? just wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Good point. From some of the threads I've been reading, it doesn't sound like some people even pay attention to the stickies as it is.

Maybe the better question: Does having yet another sticky stop people from posting stupid stuff? Probably not.

I'm proud to be a part of this forum and community, and I'm tired of having to filter through a bunch of crap to find the needle(useful post) in the haystack(thread).

I hope that we, as a community, can band together to report abusive users (by clicking the alert triangle in the title bar of the abusive user's comment) and to help nurture the newbies to feel safe to ask questions so they don't follow bad advise and bootloop or worse... brick.

I hope that this being sticky catches someone's eye so they don't flash the wrong roms, if they are on other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
For the record I came to this site after flashing a vibrant rom through(gasp) ROM Manager. You know the story. Only option close to this phone was VIBRANT(this was back in feb and still the same). Some better googling led me here. Fixed my problem without so much as a post. Other people think and act different than I do. They will ask for help. They will be noobs. It's your choice whether or not to help. If you choose not to help than let that be it.

Oh bye the way NO ONE reads stickies
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zelendel:
Well then they deserve what they get.

Rewritting the OS on your phone without doing the needed research is just plain stupid
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I thanked, because it seems to be the biggest problem with this site.

No one reads the stickies.

Should the site maybe implement a lightbox of some sort that pops up to remind users of the rules and reading the stickies and ops?

EDIT: It would be annoying, but if it worked, it would become less annoying to *not* have to scroll through 100-200 page threads of newbs fighting over stupid crap posted in the sticky and op...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zelendel:
We have tried to make things as easy as we can but in the end this is a development site so when joining is is expected that people research and learn. I just wish people would stop following videos that are mostly out dated. It is amazing how lazy some people are. To be honest I am all out of pity and sympathy for those that don't do their homework. Its not rocket science after all lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
It's not rocket surgery or brain science. The simple fact is people want an easy way to do things. That's why they(myself inluded) are here. My homework is my own. So is my frustration. I ask not for sympathy but for pentance. I am so fuc?ing tired of off the cuff remarks from users of this site that claim to "know it all" but slam some poor ****er asking for help. How do you build a comminity on top of that? Search for sure. Notice the hottest topic right now is this one?

Zeledel

Do not expect people to be you. I sure as hell don't
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zelendel:
I don't but I do expect them to do what I did when started, the same thing that everyone is expected to do. And that is to spend a good amount of time reading. When I started I knew nothing of modding and only had basic computer skills. So I joined and spent weeks reading up on what I was doing before I even attempted to software unlock my device. If you asked a question here without doing your research you were flamed left and right as it was and still is expected that people do the research before posting. Mainly sense modding your phone breaks your warranty and if you bricked it there was no way back and no returning to stock to return it.

As for the off the cuff remarks, I am sorry it has come to this. You can ask any one of my team mates. I am the first to spend hours upon hours helping people. Hell I have even spent 4 hours on an international call to help a user that has bricked his phone. In the end it comes down to if you do the research and then after all the work it is still acting up then people are more opted to help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
One thing to remember alot of people are not you. We agree are many things. People are still not you. Because A = B if I am A or B than we are the same. C is always an option. Be the better person don't expect or think humane kind will hold themselves in that same regard. Be who you are but remember C is also an option.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zelendel:
Agreed.

For anyone that has been keeping up. Please don't think that I am trying to say that I am like some tech guru. Lol far from it. I only meant to show what can happen when you put some love, effort, common since, strong searchfu toss in some grey hairs into your device. Never know the guy that joins XDA tomorrow may become the next CM.

If you believe you can or if you believe you can't either way you are right.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
pft.

Sometimes when your having a bad day, keeping your fingers off the keyboard makes things better. :)

I had to re-read hechoen 3 times until I got it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
agreed. Also, people should not flash to their phone until they really know what they are doing. When I first rooted my G1, I read for 2 months before trying. Also, I ended up frying my rom and being stuck i bootloader for a day, but I never posted a single thread anywhere(I wasn't a member). So before people say "HELP, am I bricked?" they should try "EVERYTHING" to solve their own problems. The senior members aren't the phone company warranty plans.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vicious89:
google does a good job of leading other galaxy variants to different forum. When i first googled this phone google led me to the i9000 forum, and from reviews and comparisons on other sites they say this phone is very similar to the vibrant so its easy to get confused.Its bad enough samsung has like 10 phones with the galaxy name on it too. I think this thread should be stickied on general and Q and A also, its very easy to be misled here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Sticky vs. Wiki

So, why is the xda-dev wiki leading noobs to believe otherwise?

Clicking on that link (which is supposedly a list of all the Galaxy S models), we see the Galaxy S 4G nestled in amongst all the generic Galaxy S models. Shouldn't there be a separate section here for the 4G just as there is for a Galaxy S II and a Galaxy Tablet?

It's one thing to make this post a Sticky (which may or may not be found via searching), and quite another to deliberately classify the Galaxy S 4G as a Galaxy S on the Wiki (which is much more prominent than a Sticky)!

p.s.

I had specifically asked a moderator to create a new group for the Galaxy S 4G over 6 months ago...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I actually beg to differ. The galaxy s 4g is a 'galaxy s' phone based on the s5pc1xx (specifically the s5pc110 in PoP with the onenand-flex and dram, just like the epic4g and fascinate) processor (hummingbird chipset). The sgs2 is based on the exynos chipset.

The tablet IS in a class of it's own.

I don't understand your post.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Galaxy S <> Galaxy S 4G

To review, the OP states in very clear terms

The

huge

difference can lead noobs (and, even, not-so-noobs) to attempt flashing Galaxy S Roms onto their devices, resulting in expensive bricks. System tools for the Galaxy S are simply not compatible with the Galaxy S 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
In that case, what you're suggesting is that galaxy s phones should not be clumped together (like every other manufacturer)? You cant flash epic4g on sgs4g just like you cant flash i9000 roms on vibrant.

They are different phones. If you flash the wrong firmware to your phone, I have no pitty on you. go to mobiletechvideos.com and either get unbrickable mod or get your phone jtag unbricked.

Believe it or not, this is a 'galaxy s' phone. But you cant flash any firmware to any phone.
