[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] chaostic_2k1:
Since my cable tv got cut, and having no tv/vga out adaptor for my laptop (watching videos while working/browsing/play games is impossible), I decided to go for the TV out on the SK4G. Instead of the vague answers I've seen on here, I found the scientific truth.

Background

Basically, the SK4G has a 4 pin trrs socket that is used for headphones, wired controls, and tv out. While some people have issues using regular headphones (3 pin trs) due to the ground touching the 4th pin (a floating ground can trigger some actions), I have not, and due to the design, they shouldn't.

TRRS stands for Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve, as seen on the plug. On TRS, regular stero audio cables, it is Left audio, Right Audio, Common Ground (Mono audio connectors have TS plugs, with Left Audio and Common Ground, backwards compatible with stereo connectors).

RCA connectors on the other hand, are simpler. The prong in the middle carries the signal while the sleeve is ground.

Most TVs still have standard RCA connectors for composite video and left/right audio, and nearly 100% of them have standardized coloring of White (Left Audio), Red (Right Audio), and Yellow (Component Video)

The TRRS connector can be any combination of connections depending on the manufacturer, so not all AV cables are the same. One of the cables I have had TRRS of Right Audio (Red), Video (Yellow), Left Audio (White), and Common Ground.

Most Important part

The SK4G on the other hand, has a TRRS combination of Left, Right, Ground, Video.

What is most important is the position of Ground, on both sides of the cable. If this is in the wrong place, nothing will really work, but if it is, that's great, you can just switch around the rest. Any cable you get must have the TRRS connector with Ground as the 3rd from the top, and that must connect to the common ground sleeves on all three RCA connectors.

Some of the dollar stores around me have a generic brand cable, with a 90º, right angle connector, but it has ground on the 4th TRRS connector, so it's no good.

On the other hand, some have the right cable, with the Red and Yellow switched around. Specifically, it is another generic brand (Sonitek), but geared towards computer cables and adaptors. This one is ""ipod compatible"" (cost me 2.49, has an extra long connector so it sticks out a bit, just make sure it clicks in.). Just make sure you plug in the Red cable to the Yellow/Video connector on your TV. There are other brands with the right cables too. Radioshack's standard av cable is right. The cable that came with my Canon camera released in 2005 as well.

Note: You might need to have no audio playing, and plug the tv side in first, otherwise it might not work.

SideNote: The LCD on the SK4G won't turn off while using the TV out for video, so use your power cable if you want it to last. You can still lock your phone so no video will be shown, but the connection is still on.

And I am on stock (but Rooted and Deodexed) KJ2. Now all I have to do is download a dlna app so I can stream videos to it, as connecting it to upload video is a pity. It does play flv video though with the stock media player.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
It's worth noting that the resulting video from the composite output is pretty rough. Grainy, fuzzy, and the image doesn't fill the whole screen. But it's handy for playing nintendo emulators on a TV and stuff.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] chaostic_2k1:
In Portrait mode, it takes the full height, but only about 20% of the length. In landscape mode it takes the full length, but about 90% of the screen. Granted, it is just composite video, not even s-video, so resolution won't be the best ever, but it's Good enough. If I wanted high res, I'd go waste money on a better phone :P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] chaostic_2k1:
Update, yep, tested it out. As long as you leave the 3.5mm cable plugged in and tv out enabled, the display will not turn off. It does dim, but does not shut off. It will waste your battery if unattended/unplugged. You can make the screen turn off by pressing the power button as normal, and that will be mirrored on the tv (blank screen).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Wow, cool. I always wondered what that TV out setting was for. I've seen some cables that have microUSB-to-HDMI which would be awesome, but I never thought it would work (and it doesn't, right?).

FYI: The 4-pin TRRS is also used for GND, AudL, AudR and Mic when you plug in a wired headset. Cool to know it doubles as GND, AudL, AudR, Vid.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] chaostic_2k1:
Not only that, but the phone can tell the difference. Tried an FM radio app, that needs a headset plugged it, but had my tv cable plugged it, and it told me that. It knew which cable was plugged in.

And yes, no usb video out. No MHL or anything. Just composite video over the headphone jack.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] 1Android:
With such a beautiful phone, I really dont want to cover it up. I bought a very minimal case but I'm not sure if I will use it or not. Its also a big phone so it may be easy to fumble so even though I have never dropped a phone, the thought of having that case on there for the what if moment.

So are you going to go Naked or is the security of having a case more important to you?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] j1mmyc:
With the exception of a snack size Ziploc bag to keep dust out at work I always go naked and haven't had any problem yet but I hope to keep this phone for a while so I have been shopping around for the perfect case
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] brfield:
I have a full body set of Xtreme Guard protectors on it, basically a cheap Zagg without the orange peel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Neverendingxsin:
I would love to go naked but because its such a beautiful phone i need some protection. So ill be using a case thats got minimal protection but still keeps it nice and thin :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jvoisin:
That is what I have ordered as well. Can't go wrong. Ordered a full body set and a spare screen protector.. Used Zagg on my iPhone 4 and the orange peel was horrible.

I have an Infuse 4G car dock.. so can't add too much of a case without making that no longer work.. (although I am going to likely modify the holder a bit and see if I can make it work with a case.. will see)

I am assuming that the 3rd party accessories will start appearing soon.. some pretty nice cases.. the phone I find is a bit smooth and hard to hold onto.. nearly dropped it a couple of times.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Ace42:
I would never do that in my life, all my previous phones were protected by full body protectors and TPU or silicon cases. When I get this device nothing will change, I don't take no chances with stuff like this; GSIII deserves to be protected IMO.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Comando156:
My thoughts exactly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] 1Android:
I ordered the infuse charger but cancled after thinking i wouldnt be able to use it with a case. Please post a review with pictures if you are able to modify.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] exitboon:
I have a invisi shield on mine fitted specifically for the gs3. i like that alot. keeps the big nice screen protected and scratch free. The back of the phone also has the invisi-shield on it. Im currently shopping around for cases to add to the protection also. I have a tendency to lap my phone when getting out of the car. Its the only time my phone has a chance to touch the ground. You can Never get to much protection. i would hate myself forever if i destroyed this beautiful machine
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
I'm naked at the moment with pebble blue and I like the color now, I usually don't put cases on my phone but don't feel like paying for insurance so I got a tpu case from amazon it should be here this week, will see how I like it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drawde40599:

Raw and naked here, hate cases and screen protectors
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Randomacts:
I plan on getting a trident Kraken. I don't care about the phone looks that much.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] robstunner:
I use that pouch in tan. Never liked the feel or look of a beautiful phone in a nasty plastic or rubber case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DaRealestEver:
i never go naked. This is the case i just ordered. http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Android...41036029&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+cruzerlite
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] VirtualNobody:
I went naked on my Captivate for 2 years. It has a few dings and scratches, but nothing on the screen.

The purpose of these small slim phones is that they be...small and slim!

putting a case on it destroys that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
Yup naked. I don't think I've ever bought a phone case
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Mjones307:
I have a white vivid would love to naked but can't do it .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Poser:
I have not used a cover on my vibrant, GSII or now on my GSIII... I am not saying this is for everyone... I just loathe the bulkiness and non-tactile feel of ALL cases.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ddurandSGS3:
ive never used a case on my phones and wont with the s3. i will be getting a pouch/sleeve though.

went with the alcantara in grey

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Darmokk:
Would prefer to go naked, but with a device this gorgeous I'm gonna have to get some kind of protection for sure....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calixt0:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've updated a number of times and never had a problem. I started out with a cm7.0 stable. I've updated till I'm at 7.2 rc3. Now that 7.2 stable is out I'm trying to update to it.

What I'm doing:

I load this new update into my boot partition and then reboot into recovery mode. It says it does it all but still leaves me with 7.2 rc3. what am I doing wrong?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You need to rename the cm- zip to update- at the beginning. CM has changed the naming standard to cm- and the SD needs update-.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loyrl:
I had this same issue, I tried to change the zip to update.zip and that didn't work. So I tried update-7.0.2.zip and that also didn't work. Am I typing it incorrectly? It has been a long time since I have touched my nook, and am rusty doing these things again.

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
Try changing it to start with "update-cm":

update-cm-7.2.0-encore-signed.zip

OR

to start with "cm_encore_full":

cm_encore_full_7.2.0-signed.zip

Although update-7.2.zip should have worked.

Are you seeing the penguin when booting into SD recovery? If not... then it is not booting into the SASD "recovery" to install the ROM onto the SD.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calixt0:
I just added the update- to the beginning of the title that existed and it worked like a charm.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gentleman Adventurer:
Changing the name to "update-cm-7.2.0-encore-signed.zip" worked 100%

Based on the failure note when I tried to boot from the sd card, I was looking for a file with a different name until I came across this thread.

I am using a class 4 32gb Kingston card. It seems to work as well as the 1gb SanDisk I did the test install on.

Both seem to take a couple of minutes for a cold boot. I will get a 32gb San Disk and compare it.

Now to learn about a Tablet instead of a reader. I've already loaded a couple of Apps that B&N wouldn't let load.

Thanks everybody for all the work and especially sharing it!

Blessings!!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gentleman Adventurer:
Update to yesterday.

Bought a 32gb class 4 San Disk. Installed a new image on the card and rebooted the nook color. (it's an early one, bought on Pre order when they first came out)

System definitely boots up faster, the touch screen is more stable to use( with the kingston it was jittery). The apps seem to respond a little faster (not much to compare as I only loaded a few with the kingston, knowing I intended to do a fresh install.) I bought the card at a local small town Radio Shack (yeah, full retail:rolleyes: but I leave on a trip where I plan to use it a lot for a week so I needed it done and working) If it stays stable it will have been worth it.

I'm going to Air Venture at Oshkosh, the worlds largest airshow of experimental aircraft. Supposedly the whole place has wifi. There is an app from Sporty's Pilot Shop (free) B&N wouldn't accept. That was the straw that finally made me mod the Color. Has all the maps, Vendors, displays, times, etc.

Again thanks to all the developers and users who post. Hopefully my little contribution will help.

Blessings All!!:D

Really Need the Tmobile Htc one S 1.84 Ruu. Am getting error 155 with the 1.53 ruu since the bootloader was upgraded withe the 1.84 ota. Phone is bricked right now
[HTC One S] Simco80:
If you p/m football he has it. It will require a donation though.
[HTC One S] thuddome:
Not to be a poor sport but I would think maybe HTC and Google would have a problem with someone wanting a "donation" for their RUU. That's also not very XDA friendly.
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
I don't think a donation is required (but good if you can spare a few $ for any devs)
[HTC One S] Simco80:
I was told by football that it would cost. I am having a problem with my volume keys sticking and can't exchange the phone till I go back to stock. Looking each day with no luck so far. Been checking random One S forums on the net, no luck yet. Will post it if I find it.
[HTC One S] thuddome:
The 1.53 RUU is in the forum under stock roms...
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
Looking for 1.84.
[HTC One S] thuddome:
Yeah me too and don't want to pay for it. I've been having Wifi and Bluetooth Issues with 1.53. TMO said I should get the update and it's been a week and it still hasn't showed up. If a dev works on a ROM that's one thing and I've contributed to devs in the past but to charge for the RUU I just don't think is right.
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
Here's the thing, he can get it, you can't, it is what it is. He's taking legal risk by distributing proprietary, closed source software, owned solely by HTC. If you want that risk to be worth it to him you gotta make it worth his while. I don't like it either, but I understand. I mean we all know HTC has no problem with c&d letters, legal threats, and possibly even actions.
[HTC One S] davedsone:
If he is worried about prosecution, he shouldn't do it. And if he needs the money to defend himself, he won't make enough this way to be worth it. This is more like trying to make a fast buck off something he has that no one else has yet.
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
How is that any different from those who obtain new devices early and sell them on eBay for $1000? I don't see many people complaining about that, in fact, those over priced devices almost always sell! Those people didn't do anything special either, besides get a product no one else has but many want. No different here! That's life. HTC wouldn't provide it to you at all! People, in general, shouldn't always feel so entitled to things.
[HTC One S] thuddome:
Because in the case of a phone you have to buy the phone, it's your property then and you can sell it. With an RUU it is open source and belongs to HTC or T-Mobile, to sell that is violating open source regulations. He can do what he likes, just not very fan friendly.
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
Don't think he cares about being "fan friendly." It is what it is, and incidentally, I agree with your opinion. However, that's all it is...opinion.

BTW people that have pre-release phones DID NOT buy them, lol, so your argument doesn't have very much to do with the example I gave.
[HTC One S] thuddome:
Your example doesn't compare, you are talking an actual phone versus a patch to some software. With physical property, possession is important, with intellectual property it's not. You can't say, just because I have software on my computer that it belongs to me. Whereas you can say, this phone is in my possession, therefore it belongs to me. So just because I have a copy of some software (i.e. RUU) doesn't make it my possession and definitely doesn't mean I can sell it. And going under the "donation" speak doesn't hold water either. Nuff said, he can do what he wants, I have 1.84 now so no worries.

I've supported this community for a long time and just want to protect it from things that can get us a bad reputation.
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
I doubt you have the RUU, if you did you would do what you claim is so virtuous and SHARE it with the community. If not you are worse than the user you are complaining about. I have the update zip too, it's widely available, but if you want the RUU, stop your whining and just pay for it! You aren't going to change his mind complaining about him. Let it go
[HTC One S] thuddome:
Thanks dad...
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
Most welcome, son.

well i can try to upload it to my dropbox then post the link for u to download it. it should download pretty quick for you. figured i could help lol
[HTC One S] malimal:
well I am thankful to you and football for the release.

That would be kind of you if its not to much trouble.
[HTC One S] s10shane:
well he released it not me. i just downloaded it (took 3 hours) lol and now i will try to help others download it quicker, if they dont have an account with that website he uploaded it on.

Edit: my dropbox says it will take another 16mins to upload. for some reason it takes forever to upload big stuff on dropbox lol

ok here is the link to my dropbox so anyone can download the tmobile us 1.84 ruu. i take zero credit for uploading the file. i just made a mirror to help anyone out that has issues downloading the ruu from the original site posted by football.. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76257867/R..._2_10.22.31501S.10L_release_263233_signed.exe
[HTC One S] julidelara:
Just noticed this is not stock 1.84. This Ruu is 1.84 with a R2 on it. Different than my friends stock One S.
[HTC One S] thuddome:
R2 = Release 2 ?
[HTC One S] s10shane:
I still think its the same thing. I noticed that on the stock ruu for the older version as well. Idk why it shows that but everything still seemed the same
[HTC One S] julidelara:
The 1.53 Ruu was actually the 1.53 R2 software and I know people who used that RUU were not able to get the 1.84 OTA. So I am guessing that whenever tmobile drops another update, the people with the 1.84 R2 software probably wont be able to get that OTA.....

:confused:
[HTC One S] s10shane:
Yeah idk what the R2 means but it is confusing. I didn't notice there was an R2 in the build number.
[HTC One S] julidelara:
I hope it doesn't cause any problems if something happens to the phone and you have to use the warranty. I already had to exchange a stock One S because the camera would not work.
[HTC One S] s10shane:
U should be fine. I sent back one of my HTC one s and it was the older build with that R2 or whatever it was and my bootloader said it was relocked lol. This one is going back as well on Wednesday for my S3
[HTC One S] julidelara:
Ok so I asked a friend who was an intern with HTC some months back and she says that those ruus are release candidates to be tested on production devices. She says if it has a R with a number it is not a final build and most likely has bugs in it. My friend is an electrical engineer like me so I have no reason to doubt her.
[HTC One S] thuddome:
Makes sense so R2 = Release Candidate 2

Unless somebody is kind enough to post it I guess we are out of luck. Not that I don't appreciate the ones that are already out but I am guessing the official RUU is hard to come by.
[HTC One S] ahmadroid:
The R2 won't matter because even the one I receive after a warranty exchange form T-Mobile has a R2 so it's the one release from HTC. They are the only one who knows what it mean. That bean said you will be able to get an update of realease in the future

The interesting thing here, is it would be less "risk" if he wasn't accepting money. The legal issue involved if he is found to have been making money of their proprietary propery is far greater than if they find he's giving it away for free in android xda forums. Just saying... not even necessarily stating I have a problem paying for it, just that the logic is a little skewed because in the end, this is in forum for open source stuff where $$ may be exchanged for development services. In this case, HTC is doing the development, not this gentlemen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rliu307:
Hi everybody. So recently I have been having an issue with my lockscreen. I was playing around with some ICS roms in order to see what I liked and I had tested out SlimICS and Dark Knight. I had originally been running NIGHTLY builds and had reverted to them again after my searching. However now my lockscreen keeps changing into a different lockscreen. I had it on the default one and then it would go into a different lockscreen that would tell me to slide down to unlock with a new wallpaper and everything. I have tried to reflash the rom as well as wiping the data on my phone but still no luck in stopping this. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
