This is a feature in WM 6.5 (or maybe it's 6.5.x) anyway - I know I can send a contact (or part of a contact, you get to select what exactly) by SMS or Beam (infra-red if you still have an irda port)

I can't screen shot (don't have the app installed) but have tested it - it works great between WM devices, however sending info to an iPhone results in absolutely nothing happening - so must be a WM native thing?

Im also lookin for something like this i guess i got into the habot after i used a nokia when my old phone was on the fritz i could send a contacts details to anybody and they would recieve it no problem. While my TP2 which is supposed to be such a "smart" phone cant send a contacts details??

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomtx500:
I seemed to have ironed out most of the problems i was having that i mentioned in my other thread. However i still have not managed to get the GPS to work. I can seem to get a fix on any sats using tomtom7, it does connect with my gps device but it never fixes, occasionally sats do show up on the compass but nothing happens past this. Ive tried the GPS in multiple location inside and outside.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] heineken78:
Open google and type in"i780 tomtom gps fix" or "i900 tomtom fix". So you come to right page :mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomtx500:
sorry should have said ive tried the *#1472365# based fix and ive used port splitter etc......but they dont seem to work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] heineken78:
Look for problem in your phone settings or portsplitter settings. It should work with portsplitter 101%.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomtx500:
Well ive tried the following combinations

1. setting hardware to com9 software com8

2 setting hardware to com9 sofware to com8 and using port splitter used 8 as input and 6 as output

All of the above have been done after using standalone and coldstart settings
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dbtfree:
So I am looking at getting a leater hip holster. I know the style I want, but I see there are ones that have snap closures and magnetic closures. The magnetic seem better from the idea of not having to put pressure on the phone to close it, but on the other hand it seems like I'd rather have have the snap in terms of security (meaning, the snaps are theoretically less likely to pop open when shaken, bumped, or caught. I am sort of active and in a little more rough setting than your normal office.

Anyone have any comments/thoughts? Is this even a worry with magnetic closures?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] adoute:
The magnets will most likely cause the 'keyboard open' and 'stylus out' switches in the phone to read incorrectly when it is removed from a case with a magnetic closure. It doesn't do any harm, and the keyboard switch can be remedied by a registry edit.

See this thread for more details.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I have magnetic closure, and it works fine for me. The last several cases have used this technology. I have never had the case open unless I did it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] orlandomike:
Right now I am using a holster case with a magnetic snap. the magnet can make the phone behave as the other poster described but I simply face the front of the phone to the back of the case. Just put it in backwards, all works the same anyway.

I would like a case though that might flap over to protect the front but allow the keyboard to slide out etc so the phone can stay in the holster if that makes any sense. Dont know if such a thing exists.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] defaultdotxbe:
im using a magnetic case and have no problems with any odd behavior (i also put it in screen inwards)

i used to use a snap, but i didnt like putting the pressure on the phone either, and oddly the snap case was the one that was constantly popping open, probably because the snap has a larger profile than the magnetic clasp, and also once the snap pops open its open, with the magnet it usually settles back in closed position even when it does pop open
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] neoxatax:
I've seen that odd behavior with the case I have now. Sometimes my phone just unlocks itself just by placing the phone into the case or taking t out. It has a very strong magnet though. The original HTC that comes with the T7373 has a much milder magnet which doesn't cause any of the problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] defaultdotxbe:
the case im using is the OEM that came with the sprint mogul, since its also from HTC its probably got the same kind of magnet the OEM case from the rhodium had

Hello,

Is there a custom kernel that I can flash over my stock ROM for my Sprint Hero so that I can overclock the processor? My phone is already rooted, but aside from that I'd rather keep it mostly stock.

Thanx

The Nexus One genie widget stopped updating for me. Anyone else? It says "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later."
[EVO 4G General] cath0dez:
Happened to me too. I have been doing a lot of work on my phone though and have no idea if it was me or service that broke.
[EVO 4G General] Tikerz:
I had been running just rooted stock and it wouldn't update all day yesterday. I just flashed the latest flipz ROM and it's not working there either.
[EVO 4G General] schizopunk:
It stopped working for me today as well. Same error. It also stopped working on my dad's HTC Hero. Maybe they're having server issues?
[EVO 4G General] Tikerz:
Sounds like servers issues then. I hope it's fixed soon. I love this widget for news.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sunshine1982:
AT&T officially announced that the Samsung Captivate, AT&T's version of the Galaxy S, is coming soon. They haven't released an official date of price as of yet, but the good thing is that AT&T is finally getting a good android phone with specs that are current and not already a year old.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] keener31:
the fact that their preview unit had a non-hummingbird 800mhz core and was notably sluggish has me a little worried.

so long as there isnt some sort of bait and switch and the final product keeps the hummingbird, then so be it... i am just curious why the 200mhz drop makes such a difference (i know the chipset is part of it, but still).

we shall see. but between it being in the wild and possible root access (to certain kernels) already, im pretty excited.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tysj:
*nevermind*
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jhnstn00:
I am getting one

Can't wait for them to release it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tonyc0642:
I'm glad I found out about it, I almost got an Aria. But this... it's just badass. I have to have it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mkoby:
I too am holding off on getting an Aria until I learn more about the Captivate. Problem is I've read from many people on various sites and forums that:

1) Samsung's build quality isn't as good as HTC

2) Samsung does have a history of NOT updating their Android devices, where as HTC has said all 2010 phones will get Froyo

I'd LOVE to get the Captivate, but if it's not going to get updates then I'd rather have a phone that does. Sure I could root and hack the rom with a 2.2 rom but that comes with its own set of potential issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tonyc0642:
I'd be willing to bet the next build of Android after Froyo will be available by the end of the year or early next year, so Froyo will be old news by this time next year. I plan to at least root my Captivate when I get it, and let's face it, I'll probably flash it. I mean, what's the point of an open-source OS if you're afraid to take advantage of it and mod it? User customizations are kind of the biggest selling point of open-source aren't they? Might as well get an iPhone if you want to wait for official updates. Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mkoby:
I understand your point. I use Linux daily so I'm up on Open Source software.

But it's been my experience that sometimes waiting for official updates is better than hacking the device yourself. Now, with that said, I will probably almost certainly at some point root, flash, and hack on the device.

I'd personally like to know that Samsung intends to "futureproof" (for lack of a better word) their latest devices with official updates (unlike the past). To me offering official OS updates when they become available shows that a company cares about it's customers and isn't just ignoring the updates in hopes that they'll upgrade to the latest $200 device they just released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tonyc0642:
Agreed. I've also heard bad things in the past about Samsung's updates, or lack thereof. But I think in the case of the Captivate, it will also fall on At&t's shoulders to provide and distribute the update, would it not?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keener31:
it will be a joint effort on both of their parts, yes.

there is a lot of burned customers in the samsung camp after they repeatedly screwed them by promising updates and then not delivering, so i get the apprehension and avoidance there. personally, though, with a device this nice i will definitely be flashing a custom ROM.

i find no need to lock myself out of features or deal with unnecessary carrier bloatware if i dont have to, and i much prefer the design of most custom ROMs. in this light, people that follow suit will not really be at samsung/att's mercy for updates... so long as there is custom dev support, there will be new updates to install.

that being said, to jump on this device and this carrier with no plans to flash custom ROMs could be considered a gamble, given both of their track records with android... but, from what has been seen, this could be a fresh approach to the OS and sammy/att might do just fine.

i guess we'll see... im just not letting the decision rest in their hands, personally.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willthebill:
Does anyone know if the final build of the phone will have LED flash for camera?

This looks like a great phone to buy. I have unlimited net on my ATT plan so i would love to upgrade from my FUZE to Captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keener31:
all press and images so far indicate that it does NOT have flash NOR a front facing camera, unfortunately :/

the up swing on the camera is that is has good quality and good accessible settings, as well as a night mode for well lit shots in dark environments.

there is another thread about the camera and flash around here with comparison shots between regular and night mode and it is pretty impressive.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ewingr:
I could be wrong, but I don't think AT&T does much in providing updates.

I'm on an old AT&T Tilt, (and an anxious for the Captivate), and have gone down the ROM route (of course this is WinMO), and after messing with 3=4 different highly touted rom builds, I ultimately ended up on the original ROM. Seems custom flashes quite often, well, for the ones I picked anyway, ended up with the developer moving on.

So I am hoping that Samsung supports this. I don't hold much hope for getting updates from AT&T. It would be interesting if others inform us that AT&T does better than I expect.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willthebill:
:( wow. i didnt even notice that it DIDNT have a front face camera....very disappointed now. I think i'll look for the Galaxy without ATT logo on it if the final build has no front face camera. I was willing to deal with the lack of flash because the built in 16gig memory chip. Now i know ATT will do all possible to cripple perfectly good phones and dumb down Android OS.

The only thing left is to wait and see what the final specs will be. If they cripple the phone more then i'll be switching over to Sprint and getting the modified Galaxy Pro.

*crossing fingers*
[Galaxy S I9000 General] caelestis2:
Theres a post in this same forum about "night mode" which will increase exposure and allow more light to reach the lens. It actually looks quite better than flash. Also, I have a front facing camera on my phone, and I only use it sometimes as a mirror. Do you have a better intended use for it? ATT doesn't have video calling, and new iphone doesnt have true video calls on it either.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PittFred:
Yeah, those night pics in that post look pretty nice. I'm hoping as long as you're not taking a picture in total blackness, it won't be too bad.

The lack of a front camera is disappointing, but I'm guessing that true videoconferencing won't be a reality till we get LTE, which probably won't be widespread till late 2011/early 2012, so I'll just wait till the next generation phone to do so. :)

My biggest worry is AT&T crippling the phone, and not just software-wise; I got a Nokia E71x after I lost my E71. The AT&T version got rid of the onboard FM radio, and prevented reprogramming the buttons. :rolleyes: The Galaxy S has FM radio, if they delete it from the Captivate, I'm taking my business elsewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willthebill:
http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/media-entertainment/attvideoshare.jsp

It's not about true video calling through the carrier. The OS provides apps that will allow you to use video chat no matter the device/carrier you're contacting. That's why it's a bit crazy that they'll remove it.

P.S.

This is the first ATT branded phone i'm actually excited about getting since 2005 lol. I actually bought the FUZE from ebay just because it was $200 on ebay last year.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
cant wait for this to come out! def gonna be in line for one haha
[Galaxy S I9000 General] caelestis2:
The video share thing is only with certain phones, I think they wont spend the investment to port it to galaxy s. It also only allows one way streaming. AT&T never thinks about us technical users, only non-technical consumers and from that standpoint since they don't have fully functional over the network video calling, why include a front camera?

iPhone's been out for a long time, thats why theres only crappy phones on ATT now. That's about to change thanks to adverts for droid forcing att into the fold.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JoshIV34:
Confused!?!

I currently own a Samsung Eternity and cant wait to get rid of it. But i dont know what to upgrade to. I am stuck between buying a HTC Aria or waiting untill the Samsung Captivate comes out. Someone Plz help!

HTC Aria:

I really like the Sense UI on HTC and i dont have a problem with a 3.2 inch screen (Same as Eternity). But...

Samsung Captivate:

It has a bigger screen. More on-board memory. Live wallpapers. and much much more. can someone give me some advice?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ewingr:
Probably best if you go in and look at both. There are a lot of posts on both that you can read to get some thoughts.

I think it'll be a personal preference thing: what are the features you want most?

For me, the one thing driving me to the Captivate is the Super Amoled screen, and I do like it larger too.

Looks like it has froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kennethpenn:
Well, just that test unit. It's definitely launching with 2.1 Eclair. But, this is really good news... seeing a test unit with 2.2 Froyo is a signal that Samsung's devs did in fact work on the update, which means they do intend to follow through with their Froyo promise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BoostedSR20:
I'm definitely interested in this, but I dunno if I could give up my N1 just yet. I don't know if its *that* much better. I've been trying to dig up some good N1 vs. Galaxy S articles or videos, and haven't found much. I've also been with HTC phones forever, I would be scared to try something else... :o

I do know if I were to replace my N1 with this, it would get flashed with a vanilla android ROM. (no UI)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killerskincanoe:
Any new insider info on a release date of the Captivate? i can't decide if i want to wait for this or just go ahead and order my x10a. Super Amoled plus multitouch and 2.1 out of the box is a big diff tho. ,,

Seems that the camera is ok for snaps (I have been spoiled by the Carl Zeiss optics of the Nokia N Series) but then I guess the camera is not what you would buy this phone for!

What camera settings did you use?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mistwalker:
Great pictures, much better then my HD2 :D HD2 performs awful in the darkness - overexposes every picture with the leds. So I won't miss the led except for flashlight purposes :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
at least we can see under low light xD

the normal light picture is not bad, much better than HTC's quality and everything seems clear enough for a phone cam.

but it doesn't capture the sunlight that well, it makes a "whitish" effect in the picture lol not sure how to describe. but it ruins the real colors.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keener31:
holy crap. in decent lighting those stills looks pretty darn good for a phone.

and the video is REALLY impressive for a phone.

it appears that it doesnt do well in low light, but still... im impressed.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] latraviata:
Thank you so much!

Hmm, if the camera is similar to that on my Omnia I then I’d recommend manually setting the ISO rather than leaving it on auto. Also, I’d be curious if manually focusing on a specific object would perhaps result in a sharper low light photo (my Omnia has problems auto focusing in low light/low contrast situations).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenny326:
If you want me to take some specific shots I can try. I've been messing around with the settings i.e macro, iso etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
I took this today on the Galaxy S, I didnt check the settings, its still all on default. It was taken freestanding so could probably be sharper, but was pretty much just point and shoot. Its not edited apart from the 50% reduction to make it viewable on here. Colours are as they were captured, and not bad for a camera phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mistwalker:
That's enough for me :D
