[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demian_ii:
Hi!

I just bought my 3.5mm to RCA cable to try the Tv-out feature. So I plugged the cable to my tv(double check on the colors) and 3.5mm audio jack to my phone. Then I went to Sound and Display>Tv out and checked Tv-out to green. I'm pretty sure my country's norm is Ntsc (anyway, I tried Ntsc and Pal in case I was wrong).

I tested on one TV but nothing happend then I went to another one were the screen started to display some withish lines with a lot of noise(sound). I tried to watch some videos(HD and from lower resolution) but nothing happend except that I could barely hear the sound of video mixed with noise. Same when reproducing music.

Both TVs aren't HD, they're regular TVs were I usually play PS2.

Do I need a HDTV to use this feature or am I doing something wrong? Maybe the cable is not working properly? (It's new)

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

This is correct. I have a Nokia cable and it works perfectly.

Samsung have reversed the 3rd and 4th bands on the 3.5mm jack, meaning that video out and microphones on headsets don't work with the industry standard accessories. Nokia have luckily followed the same [lack of] logic, and so their accessories are compatible.

The cable I have is the CA-75U and I got it on eBay for a couple of pounds.

Hello there,

I need to change the notification sound on the Samsung Galaxy S default clock / timer.

I can add custom notification ring tone on the alarm ,but not the timer or stopwatch.

I can't find it on the setting or the clock setting.

It just default to a notification tone.

Is there a hack to change this notification?

Thank you

The Xperia 10 is OLD-GEN hardware (2009) it's been out in other places for a while.

The only pro you'll find is the Camera.

But it's ok if you like

-384mb of ram, instead of 512mb

-LCD instead of SUPERAMOLED

-Android 1.6 instead of 2.1 (soon to be froyo)

-9gb of storage (1gb internal, +8gb microsd) instead of 16+ micro

-Old bluetooth instead of 3.0

and finally a old gen snapdragon, instead of the best GPU/CPU on the MOBILE Market!

Not to mention, a six-axis sensor that you'll be mising out on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mets3214:
DO NOT BUY THE X10. The captivate super amoled destroys the lcd, and sony is garbagse. They release a product and people rave about it for 2 months and then sony moves on to something else. This phone was supposed to come out 9 MONTHS AGO!! It didnt even get updated to 2.1, might get updated by december and dont even think about 2.2. Sonys ui sucks and it is very slow too. Only good thing about it is the camera and design
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] applebook:
I think the X10 UI is pretty, but it is slow. The X10 will be on 2.1 when we already have 2.2. Also the GS touch panel, with true 5 finger multi-touch, destroys the X10.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novaIS350:
Captivate has the better SAMOLED screen, with next gen multitouch sensors (ATMEL MAXTOUCH). These sensors can support up to 16 points of contact, but was toned down to 5 points on the Galaxy S devices. While you probably won't ever need 5 fingers on the screen, the ATMEL Maxtouch sensors are the best. Couple said sensors with the SAMOLED screen (which has no air gap between the glass and display), and you have one of the most sensitive screens on the market. It also has one of the fastest, if not the fastest chipsets available on any mobile device thus far. The only con, as you've pointed out, is the lack of flash and lower megapixel camera. Other than that, there really is no competition between the X10 and Galaxy S class phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bowsa2511:
To be quite honest, flash doesn't really do great for many situations.

It's been proven that the Galaxy S line has a "night mode" in the Native camera app that's really great!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
It's kind of like a car audio system. You can have the best components in the world, if they are not put together and tuned properly they will be worse than even the worst components.

Unfortunately, this is the current situation with the Captivate. It has some incredible hardware but a very poor software implementation.

The X10 may only have 1.6 at the moment but it's a much better build that what the Captivate is offering right now. Of course this is based on my personal experience with both devices.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
Sorry but this is just bad information. The 2.1 update will be rolling out in September and this is confirmed by Sony. They have also confirmed 2.2 will be out by Q4. I would rather wait for a proper update from Sony than have the ridiculously buggy release of 2.1 on the Captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevenvt:
Anyone sitting in this forum should probably be prepared to write off stock software at a moments notice anyways. The right rom in captivate and same on x10... Captivate wins with hardware. That and 1.6 isn't bad enough to forget the x10.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
I agree with what you are saying but custom roms are usually just mash up builds with components from existing builds and custom kernel builds. I am not convinced that will solve all the Captivate bugs. Any build more thorough is months away.

I would consider the Captivate again once all the bugs are fixed. In the meantime I need a device that works reliably.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justdrew:
big thing also if you watch movies, sony dosent play the range of formats. or if you like a custom EQ

on another note my wife has a captivate thats rooted and with a lagfix and she has no problems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novaIS350:
The Captivate is plenty fast and very user friendly, I don't see anything wrong with the phone and it's "build" as it stands, even when you take into consideration that it has the lag and gps issues (somehwat blown out of proportion if you ask me). I myself have never noticed any of the aformentioned issues, so my experience with the device has been all positive. That being said, I don't like the TW UI (reminds me of my previous fruit branded device) so I installed launcher pro, and I preempted the lag issues by applying the lag fix and newer firmware. I'm not knocking the Xperia by any means, I'm just saying its not on even ground with the Galaxy S class devices.... that coming from my experiences with both devices as well.

I imported the X10 when it first launched and thought it was an ok device. Definitely wasn't worth the money I spent on it though. I then switched back to rotating between my iPhone and Blackberry 9700. Now that Im on a Captivate, I'm really glad I didn't jump ship for the EVO 4G. To each his own I guess.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
Not to take away from your post but to say two devices with 4" screens, 1ghz processors and running Android are "not on even ground" is a rather dramatic and untrue statement. If you consider the overall experience, and especially the PC side software, then the Galaxy isn't even in the same decade in that area.

I am very glad you haven't noticed or experienced the issues that many others have. There was obviously a testing issue with Samsung or these devices would have never been sold with a malfunctioning GPS and severe lag that a 1ghz class device should definitely NOT have. The fact that you had to apply a lag fix says it all. I did not have to do that with the X10. Comparing datasheet specs is hardly the best indication of how well a device performs or whether it will meet your expectations. If it were that simple we would all just buy the same device. For me, the X10 performs better than the Captivate in day to day use. I could care less about some ridiculous benchmark that isn't a true indicator of real world performance. The Captivate could be amazing but it currently falls short of it's true potential. I personally believe it will take the dev community to fix it and that will take time. When that happens I may consider picking one up again. Until then I need something that doesn't shut off for no apparent reason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinyboss:
That's a software zoom, right? No way there's an optical 16x zoom in any phone.

It's the same thing as if you just cropped the photo to "zoom in" on the part you want. Digital zoom is not zoom. And if the sensors are the same size, there's a good chance the extra 3 megapixels aren't doing much good, either, but I don't have the specifics there.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
the only reason not to go captivate is if you absolutely need a camera flash and some people do. but that galaxy s has about the best camera app ever. i can name a number of reasons to go with the captivate but only one reason for the x10. just my $.02

and for those who dont know, the lag issue is apparently due to the ahem, microsoft file system, maybe foolish of samsung but it does offer a convenience factor. i know little about the gps but it works better than my iphone did, and my aria wasn't any better. ok so it's not perfect, yet. i almost didn't get the captivate because i thought it was too nice and didn't want to go destroying a nice piece of hardware and not knowing how to fix it but it turning out to be a great phone to mod and i like that even if i know little about code. i still like to get my hands in something and "fix" it. but with out the fixxes and mods you may notice it hanging up alittle bit but mostly just a couple particular circumstances like adding shortcuts to the homescreen and running quadrant. even if the phones were "equal" as they may look on paper the amoled screen would sell it for me on it's own. but in the end, to each there own.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WickedStyx:
I've owned an X10 for about 3 months and owned a Captivate for a week. As soon as I got the Captivate I updated the firmware to JH3 + SRE + lagfix. The Captivate completely smashes the X10 for performance, screen, multitouch, UI, os version, call volume, storage, etc so I'll cover the only areas that could possibly make you consider taking an X10 over a Captivate.

Lag - With the ext4 lagfix on the Captivate I'm yet to notice any lag whatsover. The Captivate absolutely flies. Using them side by side the Captivate is way more fluid. I've seen the lag on a friends stock Galaxy S and I'd still take it over the performance of the X10 with 1.6. Don't even mention the performance of Timescape + Mediascape ugh.

Camera - The photolight on the X10 does close to nothing unless you are 1ft away from the subject. I'm not calling it a flash because you have to turn it on and off manually unless using a 3rd party app. IMHO the night mode on the Captivate is on par if not better. Plus the Captivate has 720p video recording while you'd have to wait until the end of the year to get it on the X10 (if ever)

GPS - In my experience the GPS on the captivate (with the GPS tweaks included in SRE) works fine when stationary but is close to useless when driving. I don't use the GPS much so I haven't bothered to try any other GPS fixes or tweaks. IMO if GPS is that big a deal for you get a Tom Tom. If they fix this the phone would be close to perfect.

Honestly you could own an X10 and be happy with it (once 2.1 is released anyway) but there's no way I'd chose it over the Captivate if I had a choice.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You will be unable to determine any difference between any of the radios, despite what you read here. The radios are quite stable, and the differences between them are quite minor, usually involving fairly subtle behaviors - signal strength is not one of those.

Most people that report differences in signal strength do so because their experiments fail to control for a wide number of external factors that affect signal strength - they do "see a difference"; but those differences are due to uncontrolled variation in their "experiments".

I was wondering if there is any way to delete the messages app from the phone and run a password protected sms app from the market? I've also thought about an app that would just hide the messages app, password protected of course. I haven't seen anything like this yet though. I have already searched the forums but haven't came up with anything really. I'm not a noob to Android by any means and I'm pretty tech savvy, So I'm open to options. Any help would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
If you have NAND unlocked, and I'm pretty sure you do, you should be able to find the messages app in /system/app (I think it should be there) and remove it. There is one problem with that and that is I'm not sure if it could cause system instability. There are some apps you should never remove. I think messages is safe, but not entirely sure.

Also, there are apps that let you password protect apps. I'll try to find one and post back, but they do exist on the market. This is what I recommend.

EDIT: I found two highly rated apps: App Protector and AndLock. AndLock has some neat features, but is paid. App Protector has a Lite and Pro version, so you can try it before you dedicate to buy it. Both seem to be really good, but I haven't tested them. Hope this helps.
