So I started charging my phone earlier and it took forever, and the phone got very hot, but I didn't think more of it and unplugged it. Then it dropped under 15% and I decided to charge it again. It's been in the charger for 30 minutes and it's only gone from 9% to 10%...

Am I the only one with this problem? =S

Edit: It still gets very warm.
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
Turn it off and on?
[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
I was sort of hoping it went without saying that I had done that.

I've also tried:

Charging it through my PC

Charging it through the wall charger

Both give the same result as listed in the first post. Also tried removing everything (battery, simcard, mem.card) and reinserting it.

Still it gets very warm and charges almost nothing! =S
[XPERIA X10 General] ozd:
Are you using a different USB cable or charger than the one provided?

I have tried several different USB > Micro cables and not all of them have worked properly.

My old BB wall charger works fine, as does my old Motorola one (both plug a USB cable into), but wife's iPhone one does not.
[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
I really don't think that's the problem... I finally got it up to 100% with the wall charger, but when I restarted it after having reinserted the MicroSD, it had dropped 13%. In a few seconds, does not make any sense =S

Night time here now though, so gonna see how much it loses in just standby, if it's a lot I'll try reinstalling the update. But this seems to be an isolated issue?
[XPERIA X10 General] sl1nk3:
I noticed that charging it with the wall charger is at least 3 times faster.

Also, you're right, the phone can get really hot while charging and at some point it even stops charging when it's too hot :rolleyes:, it happens easier when charging using a computer since the charge takes more time, the only thing that helped in my case was to remove the battery cover and blow some air on the battery :D
[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
The problem sin't that it charges SLOWER, it charges about the same for both, currently. The problem is that it hardly charges at all...

Also, it was at 100%, then dropped to 87% just with me turning it off, reinserting the memory card and turning it on again.

I went to bed at 2am last night, then it had 87% battery. When I woke up at 9am, it was dead.
[XPERIA X10 General] andy8271:
your battery is faulty

email SE telling them your battery wont charge but that your friends/spare/new battery does charge when in your phone (to rule out the usb fault that some x10's had) and then they should send you one out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samrozzi:
i know the evo uses a wired headset for the antenna, so im guessing its not possible to use the built in fm radio while using a stereo bt headset?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
First, this is a Q&A question, not a Developer question...

That being said, No, you would not be able to use the FM radio through Bluetooth. It requires the wired headset to be used as an antenna.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakeem0996:
just get radiotime and ou'll be able to listen to radio with your your Bluetooth headset.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] x10i DauL:
hey!

i followed this instruction.

but i made it with root explorer. I made a copy from the system folder to SD card. then i sent the file via bluetooth to my pc. then i replaced some pictures and clicked OK. after this i sent the framework-res.apk back to my device. then i copied this and pasted it in System/framework and replaced the old one.

and now i cant boot anymore.

it just shows the startupshow (modified) and then there is a black screen which is illuminated a little bit..

so what can I do?

hope for a quick answer.

kind regards from sad DauL

You can probably recover your phone with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Service Update), but you will loose all your data and apps, and will have to install and configure everything again. Maybe there's a way to fix it without using SEUS but i don't know what you could possibly do, but SEUS method will work for shure.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] x10i DauL:
i know the SEUS method, but i dont want to flash again^^. i hope there is another way.

edit: do i loose root when flashing with SEUS? Yes, right?

kind regards
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mr.vercetti:
Yep, you will have to do everything from scratch if you do it with SEUS.

I think your problem probably lies on your frameworkres.apk

Why don't you go back with your unmodified files, and put everything back the way it was before trying to change the status bar?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] x10i DauL:
and how can I do this?

kind regards
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
@x10i DauL,

I was once on your position after messing with framework.apk, tired all possible way to restore stock version, and I couldn't. because unable get the phone running to do @adb.... shell

So I re-rooted the phone.

Go to the rooting thread and download latest. rooting pack. BA24

Run the step one to flash the phone (ie: shutdown phone and connect the cable while pressing back key)

Then you have bootable phone to do rooting.

Good thing was I backed up all my stuff before I mess with it. So no loss except extra work. ;)

Good luck
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gavriel18:
Try using this. I think it will help you reload your backup.

After typing that script try to push the backup as you normally would. Hope it helps
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] x10i DauL:
@ gavriel . thanks for your advice, but i will reroot again. I don´t have andy knowledge with adb^^.

@shiwantha

Do i first need to flash my device via SEUS or can i start reroot right now from my bricked device?

kind regards DAuL
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Do the step 1 of rooting. Ie flashing phone

[Captivate Accessories] HappyBallz:
Well the title says it all, did any of you guys/gals tried to use a micro-USB to HDMI cable to try and get tv-out of higher quality than current component cables?

I know some Samsung phones had that option(usb to HDMI) and I know android OS supports it, but many companies have been known for blocking this option however. Samsung themselves even offered the cable, but it is now out of stock.

Also, does anyone know where to get this cable for less than $30+? I would try it out but that price just seems like a rip-off!

Plus does anyone know where the restriction the manufacturer puts on usb to hdmi video output is lcoated at? (in the anroid OS parameters)

Thnx!
[Captivate Accessories] hollywould:
I believe the Captivate can only do TV out through the Headphone jack, not the micro USB prot. But don't quote me on that. Check out this video.
[Captivate Accessories] cachookaman:
i read a review that said the phone could do tv out through micro usb to hdmi but the cable from samsung is too expensive and sold out to boot.
[Captivate Accessories] warri:
The Captivate can in fact produce TVout via a MicroUSB - to - HDMI cable. You just need the cable and your good to go.

However some DRM Protected files may not play correctly on your TV
[Captivate Accessories] hashish16:
Samsung released a page with it on it. Its out of stock, but will be priced at $50! I think that's way too much, hopefully there will be cheaper options out there.

The samsung item is

Product ID: ECC1HU0BBEBSTD
[Captivate Accessories] pezx44:
Does anybody know if the HDMI cable will power the phone at the same time as using it? I have read that the HDMI spec provides a 5V power supply and was wondering if that carried over with this cable (or correct me if I'm wrong on that). It doesn't sound like anybody has been able to find these cables anywhere yet, but I was just curious if I should be excited at the prospect or dismiss it entirely knowing that it'll kill the phone's battery...
[Captivate Accessories] SiL3nTKiLL:
gonna hafta pick up this cable sooon when its available...
[Captivate Accessories] E_man5112:
I'll buy it if it works like the 3.5mm headphone jack video. IE, it displays anything, rather than just a few supported things.
[Captivate Accessories] AllTheWay:
Cheap deal

Found this while searching for that cable. Looks like you can get a replica cable for $3.60. Out of stock of course.

http://www.myluxphone.com/samsung-ecc1hu0bbebstd-tv-out-cable-micro-usb-to-hdmi.html

Also found the Samsung official one for $50 that is currently out of stock.

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...detail&subsubtype=data-cables-kits&returnurl=
[Captivate Accessories] quarlow:
The pictures of the cable show a port of some sort, on the HDMI end. It looks like there is a picture of a power plug just above the port. I'm guessing you can plug your micro-usb charger into the HDMI end, and charge your phone that way.
[Captivate Accessories] sevenvt:
Quick thought on this guys. There's no proprietary magic going on so someone should try the micro to standard usb then get a usb to hdmi cable. I hate to string cables together but data is data and in lieu of waiting or paying 50 bucks, I'm gonna try a two adapter method. Probably cost 20 or less not 50.

[Captivate Accessories] WheresWaldo:
Need to pay better attention, those cables will not work. You need a microUSB to HDMI not a microHDMI to HDMI cable.
[Captivate Accessories] HappyBallz:
Thnx for replies, I also posted this on another android forum and it seems there are just no shops that currently sell it. I called couple of big suppliers and they all say that it should be arriving soon.

So it seems we just going to have to wait this one out.

$50 for a 2 ft cable makes even the ever so expensive rip-off cables from Monster Cable co. cry. lol
[Captivate Accessories] ricethief:
I was hoping this would work, I emailed Samsung to see what they had to say. Their response was not what I was hoping....

Hopefully its a case of the customer service rep not knowing anything. But its looking like these cables are only for some pmp style devices Samsung makes. It would be nice if someone can confirm this.

The way it sounds is if you want anything better than composite video out, you will have to use DLNA.

HI,

Off this subject, but I noticed you are running the Clockwork Mod Recovery on a Rooted Captivate. Can you point me in the right direction for accomplishing this?

[Captivate Accessories] rkorzuch:
This cable:

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...subsubtype=data-cables-kits&tab=accCompatible

Is not compatible with the Captivate.
[Captivate Accessories] Bjd223:
Samsung changed its tune about the cable working with the Vibrant and Captivate. So either they made a mistake and removed the cable from the page(s). Or they are going to announce the cable when they have the software to make it happen done.

They probably made a mistake, however on both captivate and vibrant seems slightly more unlikely.
[Captivate Accessories] HappyBallz:
Very fishy indeed, like always samsung is in some kind of a cover-up... in any way the guy I was talking to said they special ordered them and they have arrived now.

Here is the link...

www .cellularaccessory.com/ecc1hu0bbeb.html (remove spaces of course...)

Not much better than samsungs price but at least they have them in stock...

Someone should buy this and see if it works lol

Or you all can contribute a dollar or something and I wil lbuy it myself for testing.:rolleyes:
[Captivate Accessories] YellowGTO:
If it works, I wonder if I can use a MicroUSB to Mini USB adapter at the phone then plug the HTC dongle in then (LoL) charge the phone with one USB port and do HDMI out with the other port :-)

I know it says for "Droid X", but it just says Micro USB to HDMI on the product description. Wondering if this would work too
[Captivate Accessories] thumper_1151:
Tyr it and let us know!
[Captivate Accessories] captivated:
I think that is a micro hdmi cable and would not work.
[Captivate Accessories] Kaik541:
Well the description clearly says "Micro USB to HDMI" so I'm not sure
[Captivate Accessories] ntellegence:
Do people look. $5 on ebay. Waiting on it. One end micro usb (where you charge the phone) hdmi the other. They sa evo 4g and droid x. Sesrch evo 4g hdmi it will pop up on ebay
[Captivate Accessories] floppy__:
I found this one on Ebay but the price is just crazy :(
[Captivate Accessories] HappyBallz:
Post the link then... all I see is micro hdmi to hdmi

The one I posted still seems cheapest for now but still too expensive for me to buy lol.

Come on, lets combine our funds to test it haha
[Captivate Accessories] captivated:
The Droid X has a micro hdmi port as well as a micro usb. The micro usb is for charging and data, and the micro hdmi for display. http://static.arstechnica.com/droidx/droidx_review_leftside.jpg That picture shows the two connectors. I highly doubt there is a micro usb wire for that phone that outputs to hdmi. It would not make sense since it already has the micro hdmi connector for display out. The micro hdmi standard uses all 19 pins that hdmi uses while micro usb connectors have 4 to 6 pins I believe. For a "micro usb to hdmi" wire to work correctly, the phone would have to do additional processing or there would have to be a chip built into the wire to work. For the guy that bought a $5 wire off of ebay saying it works for the Droid X and Evo, go look at those phones. They both have the micro hdmi connector as well as micro usb. You most likely bought a micro hdmi cable that will not work nor will fit into the micro usb slot.

Edit: Look at this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737825 Multiple Twitter posts from Samsung stating these phones do not support hdmi out. Also notice how Samsung no longer references the cable to these phones on their site. Hopefully either the Samsung Twitter rep is mistaken or they actually develop something that allows hdmi out on this phone. But it looks like the blogs took off with the idea of micro usb to hdmi and now it is incorrectly reported that these phones support it. Anyways, I would love hdmi out since I like to put videos on my phone and connect it to my tv. So hopefully a better solution besides composite out surfaces.
[Captivate Accessories] HappyBallz:
Regardless, it was posted on Samsung's official webpage...besides I remember some other samsung phone DID output phones screen onto tv via *some proprietary samsung connector* to HDMI cable. So it's worth a shot in any situation, that is if it was cheaper.

This cable does exist so what other use is it made for other than tv-out>?

I fail to see any other uses for this other than that.
[Captivate Accessories] benebrady:
Apparently there's a cable microusb to HDMI for the Motorola Droid X that may work as well.
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:
As quoted from the samsung website in the section for captivate tips and tricks:

" TV out

Using the TV out Feature

Set the phone to play videos, image slideshows, and other media stored on the phone directly on a TV by connecting the two devices with a USB cable (sold separately). To set up this feature, touch Applications > Settings > Sound and Display > TV out. Touch TV out to place a green checkmark next to it and to turn on"

Link found here: http://www.samsungmobileusa.com/tipstricks/i897/

My understanding from adverts and store reps was that the phone is capable of HD output. Video and Audio applications have an option for 5.1 surround as well. I find it hard to believe that samsung has found a way to output HD video with surround sound through a 3.5mm jack. If this is the case then why do I have HDMI cables all over my house for television? Something is wrong and we deserve clarification.

This appears to be one of three situations;

1. We are dealing with a Bait-N-Switch tactic.

2. Samsung dropped the ball on properly supporting this phone and accessories.

3. AT&T has managed to cripple yet another device for it's own devious purpose.
[Captivate Accessories] masterofthebass:
That is a simulated way to get a "5.1 like" sound out of a stereo headset. Its not actually surround sound.
[Captivate Accessories] oscarivera17:
In this page say that they have it, also in the review somebody "confirm that it work on galaxy s".

http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=45400&cat=5123#r
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
You made some poor assumptions.

Store reps have never been known to give accurate advice

Adverts highlight features but don't give specific details.

Unless it is documented in writing you should not expect it.

There is no bait and switch - no where does it say that TV-Out was in HD. If you look at the cable they talk about it is clear that it is composite out - yellow for video; red and white for audio. TV Out works fine, just like it should - I have used it many times.

I can't say Samsung dropped the ball as they never advertised this phone as having HDMI output

I can't blame AT&T as I don't see anything they would gain by removing this feature.

The phone does stream video via DLNA and in my tests it looks HD - but I have only tried this on a PC with a small screen. Also, you can easily copy the files to a computer and play the full HD clip there.

As for 5.1 surround - it is simulated as the phone only does this when connected to headphones and the source material needs to have 5.1 encoded I believe. You can't get 5.1 sound from video the phone recorded.

I fail to understand what you need clarification for. It is all very simple and straightforward - go complain to the store rep that misled you, and blame yourself for not doing adequate research before you bought the phone.
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:
Seriously? That's the kind of response you give to someone openly discussing disappointments about a device and/or unclear documentation? I did not buy my captivate on a whim and I have no desire to return it.

"If you look at the cable they talk about it is clear that it is composite out"

Pay more attention to the words in front of you. This was about a USB cable, not a composite.

I would like to make a quick and general response to your post rather than point out all the issues I have with it.

I feel your post is boring and uninformative while you appear to be communicating in a condescending nature. You should not make assumptions in a post that puts someone down for making assumptions. This seems hypocritical and creates a feeling of annoyance in the reader. It was an overall bad experience.

I hope the next time we share information through XDA it is mutually beneficial and does not appear to be pointing or condescending. I may not be as knowledgeable as many of the amazing developers and hobbyists in these forums, but I do my best to be helpful, polite and beneficial.

Hardware wise, Samsung did a great job with the captivate. As for your personality, a bit more time should have gone into development.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
You go into detail talking about "TV OUT" - this only applies to the headset jack - period. So because you referenced that topic 3 or 4 times, I talked about the cable that is used with TV OUT.

So you were misinformed by a store rep, and incorrectly interpreted things in the documentation. It is over move on. But don't blame everyone else - you were the one that listed 3 possible scenarios - all of which pointed the blame at AT&T and/or Samsung for doing something underhanded.

If you are looking for more positive feedback and praise (Stewart Smally) - look elsewhere.

I stand by my post, and would word it exactly the same again.

Anyway - back on track - let's hope that HDMI is something we can hack onto the phone - or at least try a cable and see what happens....
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:
Quote from Samsung:

"directly on a TV by connecting the two devices with a USB cable (sold separately)."

No one is asking for positive feedback or praise. That should be apparent as this is a discussion about hardware function and accessories. Again, you have derailed from the point.

I am refraining from making this a bash fest by not returning to this thread or retorting to anymore of your garbage posts. This is in part because of my respect for XDA Forums. Mostly though, it's because you are not worth the time and obviously bear some social ineptitude. Looking at your other posts on XDA reveals your frequent negativity and condescending attitude responding to people or referring them to the "Search Box". I am done.
[Captivate Accessories] pezx44:
Samsung did have it posted on a product page (back when this thread began) that the phone was capable of outputting to hdmi. That got me and probably some others pretty excited. I'm not sure if they changed that page by now or not, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that shovelhead made a poor interpretation.

At the same time the usb to hdmi cable page has always only showed the two products listed as compatible (neither of which was this phone) and I never saw samsung or att actively advertise the hdmi capability which means it very easily could have just been an oversight posting those details.I will be psyched if it works. If not it's still a kickass phone. Just a little less so.
[Captivate Accessories] hollywould:
Well I just got the one I ordered from DayDeal, and it does not work. I tried it, and there is not even an attempt to connect. Sorry everyone. I looks like there is no way to use HDMI with the Galaxy S Devices.
[Captivate Accessories] hashish16:
Yeah it was inadvertently identified as compatible with the galaxy S, but the cable is for the samsung mondi.

I guess with the DLNA support and 802.11n support, is the HDMI necessary?
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
Can someone explain dlna to me? What does out work with and how do you use it?
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Google or Wikipedia will give you the full description - but you can stream from your phone to a DLNA device; or from a DLNA device (Windows 7 PC) to your phone. Music, movies, pictures over your WiFi network.

So show off your photos on a big screen, or watch a movie on your phone. Samsung TVs and BR players have DLNA servers and clients built in. So does Win7 and other media devices.

If you use the search function on the XDA forums you can find some tutorials on how to set it up.
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
^ thanks

So its streaming not just finding the file and opening it remotely?? Never mind don't answer that, I'll look it up.
[Captivate Accessories] snapplefish:
Would it be possible to solder together a microusb -> hdmi cable, or is there special circuitry?
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Someone on the previous page tried a cable and it failed. But who knows - it could just be the pinouts. The regular side of a USB cable has 4 wires (V+, V-, D+, D-) - Micro USB has 5. I don't know what HDMI has. The first step is to know what matches with what on each end.

Unless you know what signals are being sent over which of the MicroUSB pins, it is hard to build the right cable.

I have 3 3.5mm to RCA cables - only one of them works for TV out, but they look identical.
