Going to give it a try.
[Captivate General] jsmith8858:
Worked fine for me, no problems at all! Quality was only OK but I'll try it again with a different video and see if that helps.
[Captivate General] Citznfish:
Is there a way to go from micro USB to HDMI or the jack to HDMI?
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
For the usb, no it has to have the wardware. For the jack, whats the point? The jack can only output standard definition video and going through hdmi would be pointless. You can use WiFi with DLNA to windows media center to play your HD.
[Captivate General] Citznfish:
except that I can't get DNLA to work :( Maybe I'll try another app that does the same as allshare
[Captivate General] Battlehymn:
the video out works well, I'm glad that it doesn't use HDMI as I use it in my truck to my DVD/NAV system. It does seem that whenever I've connected the included ear buds to the phone I've had to go into settings and re-enable video out. No it's not high definition, but the quality is more than adequate for my purposes.
[Captivate General] tikicult:
I plan on doing this exact same thing this weekend. I have the Alpine IVA-W205, and I think it would be cooler to have audio and video instead of just audio. Plus, I can actually see the navigation directions since I don't have Nav installed.
[Captivate General] Battlehymn:
Mine is a kenwood DDX-8019, and I have the external NAV

A couple things to keep in mind if you are going to use the phone as a NAV device in your car ...

1. Get long enough cables that you can set your phone where it has the clearest view of the sky possible. I set mine in the tray molded into my dash. Which leads to ...

2. If you use the included micro USB cable with a power adapter you should be fine, but the door that hides the connection on the phone may be too small for many aftermarket cables. I have one that is fine at home, but doesn't provide a secure enough connection for me to trust it on the road.

3. Maps in my area are not 100% accurate, the parking lot where I work used to be part of a highway that has been re-routed, however the map does not reflect this. I have also found that on the 2 times I've tested it on my route to and from work that it will not give a route that includes HOV lanes. (there may be a setting for this)

4. Download the app and enable the turn by turn voice ... but do not rely on it, until you've had some time to get comfortable with it. I've found during my testing that voice prompting comes a bit later than I like at highway speeds, though in and around town it was fine. I don't know if your DVD reciever will allow you to, but I can display the video from the phone and listen to audio from any other source I have available.

5. The only way I have been able to take a call while using the video out function on the phone was to disconnect the 3.5mm jack, it seems that the audio from a phone call is muted, as is the microphone. I guess if it did work there would be no reason for anyone with an aux video connection to buy a bluetooth reciever.

I do not intend to use this as my primary NAV in my own vehicle because my GARMIN reciever is purpose built for it and is far more precise/has more options. BUT ... I will not be renting anymore NAV units from enterprise when I have to travel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxjoshuaaxx:
It would look silly, but could be done. Basically some sort of mirror mechanism that could fit on the top of the phone. One opening would go on the camera, the other pointing at you, basically to get a front-camera-like feel. Anybody think this would be nifty? I know it'd look stupid, but hell, it'd work. That's all I want.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xghostyxjokerx:

[General Questions and Answers] bigpimpatl:
Hi, new to the forums and WM.

I'm looking for a WM phone that has good GPS capability. I hacked a standalone GPS unit (asus R300 a WinCE device) with Igo 8.3 and I really like the capability. I'm basically looking to duplicate this effort. I'm not really interested in any other features; If someone can recommend a "basic" WM phone that can run Igo 8.3 or other great GPS software with good speed/signal. Also will I need a data plan to run the GPS? I have a grandfathered Tzones plan, would this service work? I can search the forum to figure out the settings.

Any other tips or search strings would be much appreciated. TIA.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scantrax:
Yes, I tried all 4 USB ports, the error is still the same :/... And I have a notebook.... When I want to transfer files via the USB port, so in that there is no problem, it goes all the USB ports in order, just off this for me makes this error :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
did you try to flash hspl right out of the bootloader?

if not, put your phone into bootloader (power off and volume down button).

connect it via usb with your notebook. if the bootloader shows USB, you're connected. try to flash it now...

no warranty that it'll work..afaik its no problem, i did that some times before with success :D

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] neckcromante:
Hello,

Im from Mexico, I just buy a HTC Touch Pro 2 Sprint version, Im going to use it with a GSM carrier (Telcel), everything is fine, but everytime I reset the device, when it starts it tries to activate Hands Free Activation, User Profile, but it displays an error: "cant connect to network" Error 1020.

How can I remove this? what is the use for that?

Sorry for the bad english, thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
the sprint tp2 is a cdma device but does support sim cards since sprint sells it as a "world phone".

So you can put a sim card in it, only problem is sprint has it so it blocks US bands. If the mexico carriers use the same bands as the US carriers then i'm not sure how to fix that. Maybe flash a custom rom?

as for the handsfree, i'm not sure but check the mini-USB connector on the bottom of the phone, see if the pins are alright and not busted/touching each other, also check the headphone jack and make sure nothing is in there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] neckcromante:
The cellphone works fine with Telcel carrier, te problem is that when I softreset the phone, after loading touchflo3d, it tries (I suppose) to connect to Sprint webpage and update a user profile, but since I dont use this nor Im going to register, I want to know how to disableit or modify the registry so it stops trying.

Thanks for the help

Oh, I almost forgot, Im not using any handsfree device, I havent configure any.

or when I typed su I get---- su + stopped signal

Type su again and I get [2] Segmentation fault

I'm not Bricked right? Otherwise it wouldnt be able to be recognized by ADB and boot up?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
Hello everybody,

I didn't think I'd be writing this thread. I mean, owning a SGS is a dream come true for me. But I came to know that the reality is not as good as my dream.

First, let me start with the PLUS/Advantages

--> Obviously, the best screen I've ever seen till date.

--> Feels very thing and light, though a bit large, definitely its pocketable and handy (IMHO).

--> Android 2.1 interface rocks! Superb Visuals unlike iOS and very user friendly.

--> Android Market

--> Superb Default Browser

-->Very Very Responsive, just like the iphone.

--> Great hardware - Still couldn't belie it is able to play 720p videos with more than 6mbps bitrate.

--> Excellent Video camera - 720p video recording is so cool!

--> Excellent NIGHT mode!

--> Dedicated SGS section at XDA :)

Now, the MINUSes/ Disadvantages.

--> Initially I thought, only the lack of flash and the iphone like model are the only bad things about this phone.

--> LAG, LAG, LAG, LAG! As the usage days increases, the lag increases gradually. And I'm unable to get rid of the lag.

And what's most annoying is that, even the telephony and messaging application is lagging (android could've atleast reserved some permanent resources for both of these apps, as they are the ACTUAL PHONE apps.)

--> Battery - Still I'm not sure whether it is a good battery or not. But I'm definitely disappointed. All of my friends used to have a probem with their smartphone, if they use the features of their phone, the battery won't even last a day. But before buying SGS, I read in various reviews about its great battery life. So I thought, I can use all the features of this phone and it'll last atleast a day or more. But if I use the features of this phone, then battery won't even last for a day. But if I use it like a normal phone, the battery is good (But who wants that? I need to use those features, that's why I've put so much money into this box :( )

--> Samsung. I guess I'll be stuck with what I have. No official updates, no fixes, no nothing.

P.S: If any one of you can help me out with my problems with LAG and share some tips on battery improvement, IT'D BE GR8!! (Of course, I did see the threads regarding tips, but still...)

Battery

Fully charge battery, then use it until it is completely discharged, recharge fully, that is one cycle.

After you have done five complete cycles your battery should be conditioned and give you longer between charges.

My phone lasted about 8 hours when I first got it, after three cycles it's now lasting 24 hours between charges.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
Really? i can't believe this.

I have used my phone for 2 weeks. if I follow this procedure now, will it still work?

And thanks a lot, Geryatrix, for your your reply :)

@ AllGamer - Thanks for the link mate. I've seen that earlier, but I'm too noobish to try that out. I'm waiting for an OFFICIAL samsung firmware update. So that, if anything happens while updating that firmware, I could still claim my warranty :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
Just update your firmware to JM2 and all your lag problems will be gone. Seriously, i had 4 different firmwares and can honestly say, that JM2 is lag free. It also comes with a samsung provided task manager(long press home now includes a button to sammy task manager).

Updating firmware is so easy, and you can't brick your phone(honestly).

There's no harm in flashing, since there are now stock firmwares available, so you can go back if you want to return the phone in future. Why wait for the official update?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
@buddy01 - thats very convincing. I'd like to do that. But this phone is my 3 month salary - I wouldn't dare to spoil it in anyway. Of course, it makes sense, when you say 'NO BRICK + REVERSIBLE FIRMWARE'... But still . . . .

BTW, is the thread mentioned by AllGamer ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724251) is JM2 firmware??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
No, that's the mimocan lag fix, which in my honest opinion is not needed anymore since JM2.

If i were you, i would just go with the JM2 and see if that's fast enough for you (is for me) and if not then try the lag fix.

All i can say is that im 99,9% sure you won't brick your phone if you flash your firmware like everyone else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Filgaliel:
I am running JM2 with the lag fix. And my phone is still laggy as hell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
Must be some crappy configuration, app, something messing it up. Mine is Flash Gordon fast. I don't know if the fact that i use launcherPro instead of Touch(lag)Wiz, make any difference. It might also be that something is changed in latest (JM1,JM2) firmwares in such a way that mimocan fix is actually a burden now. Who knows, but im lag free, honestly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Filgaliel:
Strange. I too use Launcher Pro. What I experience is this.. I press to open an app.. The app starts to open but seems to freeze midway for a second or two, sometimes longer. Even when I try to enter the settings menu I get this lag.

Another strange thing is that sometimes when in an app the screen returns to home screen as if the back button has been pressed. I reenter the app but instantly I am returned to home screen. I try another app.. Same thing. Only when I turn the screen off and on again will I be able to open an app..

Very weird..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
Something is definetly wrong with your setup. i would do a factory reset and/or do the flashing again with re-partition and forget the lag fix.

Only app that takes 2 to 4 seconds to open in some occasions is gallery, and that is if i open it the first time (fresh boot or killed with task manager). everything else i commonly use, such as dialer one, handsentSMS, app draw, camera, gmail, market, youtube, browser, maps, contacts ... all open instantly.

The other problem your experiencing, i have never heard of. Must be some app acting wrong or things got messed up because of the mimocan fix. Honestly i would do a factory reset and then re-flash JM2 and forget the mimocan fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Filgaliel:
Yeah perhaps you´re right. I think I will.. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Filgaliel:
I repeated the procedure this time with mimocan fix on EXT4. I now rate 1592 in quadrant and the phone is smooth as hell..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
I haven't tried mimocan fix yet sounded very good, but rather complicated and requires Odin's flashing the phone.

My current galaxy is rooted and I install AutoKiller to better manage the memories. So far so good, lag are kept at the minimal. This procedure to me is far simpler and give acceptable performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
Mimocan is the most complicated because in addition to odin flashing the kernel (not the entire firmware), you must also partition an external sd card and make some changes to the filesystem with an terminal program.

Mimocan gives you the best quadrant score atm, but after seeing a video of it in work, i can without a doubt say that my phone is just as fast with the newest jm2 firmware only.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
Ok then, I guess I have to go with jm2. Can you please tell me where can I get that firmware and a tutorial for that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
I won't be flashing jm 2 as of now as froyo is out and will be given officially in few months. till then I'll manage with this lag.

I've had a MT3G for awhile and just upgraded to a Nexus One. I still have my old phone and can use adb with the MT3G without any issues. When I try using adb with the Nexus one i receive an error insufficient permissions on the device. Here's some more info about my setup:

Nexus One:

Clockwork Mod Recovery

CM6.0.0RC1

USB debugging is enabled

Computer:

Ubuntu 10.04

I have the rules set up for adb

I have tried remounting and restarted adb with root permissions and have still receiving the same error. I've tried connecting to another Ubuntu box and a windows xp box with the same error.

Any help?

What response (if any) do you get to the "adb devices" command?

What exact command are you trying to execute when you get that error?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raim1312:
When i run adb devices i receive this:

List of devices attached

???????????? no permissions

adb shell gives this:

error: insufficient permissions for device

I receive the same output running the commands as user or superuser. I've also killed and started the server as user and root. Remember I'm running the udev rules so I can run these commands as user.

Today I went ahead and reflashed my phone. I downloaded cm6 from xda and frf91 from the same post. Checked the md5sum for the update and then wiped and flashed.

Even after the wipe I'm in the same spot.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raim1312:

I rebooted into recovery (holding trackball and power) and tried running fastboot devices. It found my phone. While fully loaded it normally displays nothing.

adb devices is still blank but I'm not sure if it's supposed to work while in recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
last thoughts, as it's been a while since I've used adb on Ubuntu...

./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
./adb devices
???
./PROFIT

It seems to be somehow an issue with your local adb set up, not anything phone-related. Could even perhaps be a driver issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Yeah, should've pointed out that fastboot will only work while in fastboot mode ;)

trackball + power == fastboot, btw.

volume_down + power == hboot, which will let you boot into recovery

trackball + volume_down + power == three-finger salute, the equivalent to CTRL+ALT+DEL

then i ran the adb kill and start server commands as root. and voila. it works.

i remove the cable and go back to the one that came with the phone and it still works. not sure what happened but adt is working as well. so im back up and running. i wish i knew the cause of this frustration but i fear i will never know. anyway thanks for all your help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloned2:
Yikes.... take your boat back!!!

Perhaps you ran chmod u+s on adb?

Edit: Yep, that was the problem for me..

I don't know the commands to well, so i just right clicked adb and went to permissions and removed set uid.

seems adb needs started from root, but making the file always run as root doesn't work so well.. I thought it would fix my annoyances with eclipse starting adb with not enough permissions. Perhaps ill chmod u+s eclipse instead.

Oh and btw... nexus one can kiss my a$#. HTC Hero!! :D
