What is the quality of the 3.5mm tv out..is it horrible? On youtube videos it looks really good, but its hard to tell by youtube. Will it look quite good on a 46" panasonic plasma?...no hdmi news is quite depressing, was really looking forward to that.
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
It looks about as good as you would expect a composite connection to a HDTV to look. Watchable for the occasional Youtube vid, but no way I'd use it for any serious viewing.

[Q] Proposal to merge all Galaxy S family into 1 neat and big sub forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764084
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citznfish:
this has been discussed before. Not many thought it was a good idea since there are some differences between the galaxy S phones depending on your carrier. I for one don't want to waste my time reading through topics that don't pertain to the Captivate. Nor do i want to keep searching for a subforum when this is already in place and easily found. Again, not many people will know to look for Galaxy S instead of Captivate or Vibrant.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugeelama:
Agreed. If the SGS really was the same phone across all carriers it would make sense to merge all the sub-forums but seeing as how there is separate development going on for the Captivate vs. Vibrant (and soon the Epic as I'm sure things will work different with the hardware keyboard being the biggest difference)...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asrrin29:
I would propose a shared general and themes & apps forum for all SGS users, because the hardware is similar enough that regular software is cross compatible. The development forums should be separate though, because each developing environment is different enough to have different fixes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
Agreed.

And actually when this was discussed before the majority of people thought the forums should stay combined. It was even put to an official vote (the consolidation option won) that was then ignored before the forums were split.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
i think this is a great idea......if you click the link, they already have each of the development sections separated by each model, but the general, accessories, and themes sections are all put together as a "galaxy s" section. The accessories may not work so well since many of the cases and such will be different, but for the Themes section it will be great. It will allow things such as all the Vibrant fonts, swype themes, etc to be easily used on the captivate (for newbs like me that don't want to browse all the forums and test things that may work).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
Actually the accessories look the same...I think even for the Epic the dock for example is the same..the only thing that will vary is pouches and cases...but thats pretty minor...and I doubt anyone will confuse it...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looksbetterinred:
The case design for the Captivate is different from the Vibrant. I tried a body glove for the Vibrant and it was way to tight.

Proposal to merge all Galaxy S family into 1 neat and big sub forum

this is the only way to keep in touch across the separate forums
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dareoth:
I voted for it in the other thread and I still support it now. The split is hurting development, and joining them will create a much better community environment, I think. There will be some confusion yes, but there already is now. And there will be regardless. (Especially given joys like the T-Mobile Vibrant / Bell Vibrant naming wonder.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitbang3r:
Suggestion: if forums can be crosslinked, keep the current hierarchy more or less intact, but merge the "Apps" boards for the Galaxy phones into one (possibly with child subforums for apps that are literally specific to a carrier/model) that still appears in the list where the current model-specific app board appears (ie, it would appear as "Galaxy S Applications" under the captivate, vibrant, epic4g, international model, etc hierarches, but would all point to the same board.

Then, create another board for galaxy s development issues that are really common to two or more models -- kernel modules for sensors shared by multiple models, gps issues affecting the vibrant & captivate (& international model?), etc. Emphasize that THIS board is NOT for discussion of building new ROMs or Android Distros, but rather is more for AOSP-oriented developers getting deeper into reducing the platform's dependence on Samsung for support and drivers, and recognizing that things like the video chip and gps pretty much look the same across all of the Galaxy models from the kernel level. Once again, this would be listed in each of the model-specific hierarches, but they'd all point to the same physical board.

This addresses the bulk of real-world problems: accessories are device-specific; ROMs (I personally prefer "Android Distro", because it recognizes that they're more of a starting point zero-day configuration than a literal carved-in-stone "ROM") are device-specific. Development has some parts that are device-specific, and a big part that's family-specific. Not every Galaxy S might have all the hardware that an epic4g has, but AFAIK the subset each other model has is still wired up internally the same way, to the same i/o ports and using the same sensor chips.

If anything, there should also be forums to discuss lower-level development issues specific to a single carrier (Sprint and Verizon being two of the most obvious, since their back-end protocols for voicemail, text messaging, and other services aren't governed by a common standard the way GSM is, and DO in fact differ in some pretty arbitrary ways from each other).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeandjaimie:
Hey all, a while ago I was browsing threads for my old Moto Milestone, and saw a screenshot where the person had large contact icons on his homescreen (about equiv to 1x1 widget per contact). I thought I had read they were using either FolderOptions or BetterCut, but when I try to setup either, the contact photos always come out tiny. Am I messing up the setup of either of these, or could someone who has done this either either program, give me a hand.. Or even could someone point me to a way to do this? I always found the HTC People/LauncherPro Plus one kinda lacking, and REALLY lacks customization.

All I'm really looking for is a Contact photo on my homescreen that when I click it would either popup the little contact slide bar(phone/txt/email/etc) or just take me straight into HTC People contacts. Ability to turn on/off contacts name text would be a bonus!

Any help/app suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeandjaimie:
Wow.. 46 views and no one has a suggestion or even a comment?

How about this.. anyone know if it's possible, or what I'd have to hack, to increase the thumbnail size from the original Shortcuts -> Contacts or Shortcuts -> People to increase the size and remove the frame? (either full 1x1 widget size, or even 2x2 would work beautifully)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftfx:
I believe you can use an app called "desktop visualiser"

Haven't used it for that purpose myself but i don't see why it shouldn't work.

Hope it helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeandjaimie:
OMFG That was EXACTLY what I was trying to find something to do! You are a life-saver.. I had given up finding something to do it, and just started learning to write an app to do it myself LOL Oh well, maybe I'll keep writing and see what I end up with.. but this is seriously the perfect tool for me.. It's gonna take over like 65% of my homescreen space now lol

I didn't at first, but I found my self looking at the other forums today because its really obvious that there is tons of cross over. Of course I'd agree that development should be seperate, but cases and other things should totally be combined.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I just hope my sticky stays a sticky :)
[Vibrant General] gTen:
It wasn't exactly like that at first I think..more precisely only the i9000 forum existed as it was the only device out at the time..

Right now we got almost the devices out the door and most of the stuff are compatible..if not minor tweaks make it compatible...

But yes thats exactly what the proposal will do..it will separate out the development with some room for cross development and keep the other categories like general the same
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
As long as the development sections are separate I think this its a good idea..

Especially if we have enough mods to watch over us...
[Vibrant General] boodies:
and also take out the Galaxy Spica subsection which no one seems to use.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I do like the idea though the only thing I'm worried about is people getting confused in the development section. And I'm assuming since the software is basically the same for all the phones then themes would work across all phones.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
yeah that might be an issue. if we do merge, I think it's best if people start id'ing their thread with something like

[CAPT] dadada

[VIBR] dadada

[EPIC] dadada
[Vibrant General] gTen:
Let me clear things up a bit....the Development thread will have sub-forums for each device...so anything that is unique or only for 1 device will be in the sub-forum...things that work on all devices or multiple devices will go into the main Development forum where we will tag it something like this "[V][C][F]" which would mean works for Vibrant, Captivate, Fascinate only.
[Vibrant General] Paxtez:
I agree, checking all the other SGS forums is a litle annoying.
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
I was under the impression that the Vibrant and Captivate don't use the same cases (Captivate has lines vs curves), so already there is an instance where this idea falls apart.

Theres going to be a SGS with a keyboard soon, that case won't be compatible with cases for the other phones.

So....we could mix the Vibrant and i9000 forums because they're basically the same form factor, but why bother.

There is enough different about all these phones that it's probably better keeping them separated.

-----

EDIT:

With that said, when there is an issue with one phone, it does seem to carry over to the others and it is freaking annoying having to delve the forums of the other phones to find a solution.

Unfortunately, what is the "better" solution? Either one is going to be somewhat confusing for somebody.
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
Bump.

To the people that still doesn't know about this idea, please go vote if you would like to see the big Galaxy S family forum merged.

I'd be okay with merging the Vibrant, Captivate, and that Verizon model, but I feel that the Galaxy S is too different in both hardware and software to merge it. Do we really want to be dealing with people who flashed the wrong ROM that was in the same forum?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Actually we have more similarities with the Galaxy S then the Vibrant and Captivate >.>

If you read the post the Development forums will have separate subforums for device specific stuff...but things like General and etc will be merged so more people will be able to assist you..our device are pretty much 95%-99% identical.

[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
*Flashed back to the Hero forum before they where separate* Horrible Idea wanting to put CDMA and GSM phones in the same area - many a Hero where sent to an early grave by mixing the Dev boards for these 2. Someone posts a GSM radio update and a CDMA guy gets it thinking "Hey, what the Hell, couldn't hurt!" and there goes their $500.00 phone. Then they something about having insurance replace it and a huge debate starts over insurance fraud. And I've been told that insurance on the Epic is a one time use, then they drop it and you are Ef'd on a second one.

So consider this my vote against a huge forum of all GS devices. Also, with the hardware differences on a kernel level I have to think this would be a developer nightmare. As active as all 5 boards are already, there would be no way to keep up as a community to help each other out. Your thread would be buried in 10 minutes and we would have to deal with 5 times as many people asking stupid "Which rom is the best" or "How do I root my phone" questions without searching.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
The proposition includes having separate development forums for each device. Only the General and Apps forums would be combined. Check out the link in the OP for more info.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek4484:
I have a couple of questions dealing with wifi on the Captivate.

1) Is there a better way or maybe an app that will manage wifi connections better than what android does? I use my phone at work but we have to have static IP's. So every morning when I get in I have to go through all the menu levels to get to advanced wifi settings and then turn on static IP's. It saves the last settings, so thats decent. But when I go home (I also use static IP's on my home network) I have to go through and change the settings for my home network. And then when I'm out in public and use a public network I have to go back through and turn off static IP's. Its really F'ing annoying having to do this every single day. With the iphone all you have to do is set it once for each SSID and it remembers those settings for good. There's got to be a better more common sense approach to this.

2) What is the max connection speed you guys are seeing over wifi? I have an N router at home and even when I'm like 3 feet away it only connects at around 72Mbps. I realize this is pretty decent speed, but isnt N supposed to go up to 300Mbps? My Apple Mac Mini connects at much faster and its on the other side of the house.

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
maybe there's an app out there than can manage wifi profiles.. I'm not so sure about that..

although in regards with your Wireless-N router.. are you broadcasting in 2.5Mhz or 5.0Mhz? because 300Mbps can only happen if you're running in 5.0Mhz to my knowledge..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
Does the captivate suport N at 5GHz? I havent seen anywhere that discusses it, but I know that a lot of phones only support 2.4GHz.

I'm going to be buying a new router next week and would be interested to find out.

Also, I was wondering, how you measure the throughput from your phone to your router?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Well, launcher pro has a new feature that you can make shortcuts to the specific settings i.e. apn settings or battery status. I'll do a quick search on app brain to look for one...hold on plz

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
Just to let you guys know.. N routers tbh aren't necessarily needed unless you do alot of transferring files from one computer to another.. that is where the speed really kicks off..

You will need a really fast internet connection to put that 300Mbps to good use

an old WRT54G Wireless G router that does 56Mbps will be just as good as an N router with 300Mbps if your internet connection speed is only 15Mbps.. (that's mine and I have Time Warner road runner)

As to what the Captivate runs on whether is 2.4 or 5.. lol I'm not sure.. sorry
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Yeah I don't understand why people care if it can have the full effect of the router. Honestly it's a phone not a computer so it wont benefit at all from it.

one of my clients was looking for the TP2 also and the sadly misinformed Verizon guy told her all the Windows phones were on the way out. where do they find these people?
