doesnt work.

I think the point is that Epic was flooged by Sprint and samsung as a multimedia phone of better multimedia function than Epic.

I don't get people asking of those raising concerns "bought their phone to use for TV out." Would you ask the same question on a thread for some other missing feature? Say if video recording did not work?
[Epic 4G General] Jed Dignazio:
Does not work. Tv-out settings are not present!

Whats relevant about this link?
[Epic 4G General] deisel:
Wow I never even noticed that that's a bit dirty on sprint but that's sprint there's always a catch 22 w ever phone u buy but I guess its all carriers iPhone 4does everything but make calls LOL
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
I know, I've just been to lazy to backup all my stuff so I can flash the phone to stock and apply the DI18 update. I did it so many times on my Moment, but I feel like there is a new learning curve with this phone and I'm being a sissy about it :D

I know what you mean about the CDMA thing, but since we get it through Sprint, that's why it doesn't have it. I actually spoke to someone at Tech Support at Samsung and they said that it was Sprint's decision to not include it, so even with the CDMA cripple, it still could have been done. As I noted earlier, they did it so it wouldn't compete with the EVO.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
I heard that DI18 fixes issues, I just don't want to be part of that group that suddenly has Market issues and can't get some of their protected apps back and running.

I realize the differences between HDMI out vs TV-Out, but that's why I'd prefer TV out. So far 2.2 will only provide audio via the MicroUSB, but I've yet to hear anything promising about the 3.5mm for much more than audio as well.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
Long story short, but I had a similar scenario happen when I tried to find more information on the same thing. After being forwarded around and on the phone for about an hour, the last guy I spoke to said to compare the specs of the chipsets on the Epic vs Qualcomm's website to see if the hardware is even there. I've posted this information on other threads that had torn down pics of the Epic, Fascinate and Vibrant for comparison (since the last two phones have it), yet I've never heard anything from people doing more research. It's above my head, otherwise I would have done more research myself.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
What in the world are you talking about?! Streaming audio is one thing, we're talking about video.

PS - You spellied diesel wrong in your own screen name.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
The cord isn't the issue, it's the fact that the Epic doesn't have the TV-Out option to enable use of that cord. People have already bought and tried it with no success, so the issue is to confirm the hardware is even there and/or get the correct software onto the phone and working in order to re-enable the option since it was once there in early release, but has since been removed.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
:confused: What is the point of linking to this? This has nothing to do with TV-Out?
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
I don't see why you need to flood this thread with lengthy replies, post after post for somthing so simple.

But from my understanding galaxy s phones all support DLNA and there are adapters for tvs that do not support DLNA. Allowing you to play media from ur phone to your tv. No Tv

Out? o well, technology is always being phased out.

[Epic 4G General] m5james:
Replies have come into this thread while I've been gone. Had this forum had an automerge feature, it wouldn't be so bad. What is so simple that you're referring to?

Yes, the Epic supports DLNA...have you priced out adapters? Unless I'm willing to do buy a new $1500 TV or a PS3, I've got absolutely no use for DLNA. As others have said, it'd be able to use TV-Out literally everyday. No Tv-Out, oh well? Just like I said to Churro...just because YOU don't use it or want it, doesn't mean others do. Maybe you don't use Bluetooth either, but I use it everyday. So if they started phasing that out, should I just no care...while other phones still have it. I love some peoples "who cares" mentality when some of us bought these phones based on advertising saying that it had it. If you don't want or use it, great for you...this thread is about you or for you then.
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
I could argue the same point you are using with KB, I use it for everything, not only on my car when I'm on the go but when I need to type some large text, email, blogs, forums,chatting, etc. For me the KB is a must have on a phone.

The Epic can display what's on the screen, but its just not the way you want it to.

[Epic 4G General] Jed Dignazio:
DLNA is pretty worthless to me with the Epic. Big deal it can send pics and some video to expensive Tvs that may have this feature, or you can spend $300 for a bulky set top reciever 10 times as big as the Epic...Worthless. Why bother when simple composite tv out can send everything to ANY tv and is so much more useful.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
Exactly...useful for literally every TV out there right now. Don't get me wrong, DLNA is cool, but that's where the question comes into play "how many people are really going to use it?"...less than those wanting or who could use a normal RCA type of TV-Out. I don't know a single person who has a TV with DLNA, nor someone who has a TV that doesn't have RCA hookups.

I've yet to see DLNA in action, but I've already heard it has issues with compatibility, some TV's don't work well with other servers, can only play music and pictures, no videos, etc.

EDIT - Here's a link to prove my point. DLNA sets cost more than regular, are sometimes limited to what they show and what other equipment they can be used with. By the time DLNA becomes mainstream and affordable, the Epic will have become my new "old" phone and replaced with something else. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10097289-1.html
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
For one id make sure it has the features that i hope it does then purchase. if it didnt have a feature i wanted i simply would not purchase instead of purchasing and complaining but hey thats just me. And i got this over the evo fr the kb and the screen everything is gravy.

[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I have a captivate and use DLNA all the time. I have windows 7 media pc setup to my tv and use DLNA with windows 7 with no extra software\hardware. I can stream music & movies and sync my phone with media player. The tv-out feature is sick. Full 1 to 1 display of any thing I do on the phone. I run games on the phone and use the phone as a wii remote and use the tv as the monitor.
[Epic 4G General] deisel:
My friend has the t mobile galaxy s phone and he syncs video out to his radio navigation console w bluetooth or maybe he uses the headphone jack don't break my balls dude I'm just trying to help out w the links if they don't help sorry. Ps did I spell my screenname wrong lol
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
It's easy to sit back and take the "shoulda, woulda, coulda" stance, but weak arguements are your MO. I didn't check to see if it had Bluetooth until a week later, so if it didn't, maybe I should have just sucked that up as well. :rolleyes: Maybe you didn't read the part when all these Galaxy S phones were advertised as having that feature, and as others have noted, websites have since changed and that information has been removed in regards to the Epic. MANY people on similar threads to this, or even TV-Out specific threads have stated their disappointment that they read the same things I did and then figured out after the fact that this one and only phone didn't have that feature. But hey, you're right, that's just you....so once again, if you don't even care for it and you're so content with your phone, then your replies are pretty much useless for nothing more than giving your .01 and to stir the pot for those of us who aren't happy about not having a feature that was advertised.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
I just run a laptop connected to a docking station to my PC, then the same docking station in other rooms throughout the house so I can stream videos, music, watch movies, etc where I take the laptop and my wireless keyboard. I'm running Windows 7 as well, but I don't think my laptop supports DLNA. Even if it did, I've got a PC to do my video viewing for me. I'd like it on the phone (preferrebly the 3.5mm) so I can use it in my vehicle for the 1 to 1 display that you benefit from...I'm jealous.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
The T-Mobile version isn't a CDMA phone, so it has the TV-Out option, so he's using the cable to produce videos and audio. All these phones also have bluetooth and can sync to a car stereo, etc so I'm sure that's where your confusion is coming from.

Is your PS a question or a statement? Yes, you spelled diesel wrong.
[Epic 4G General] happyware:
So you bought a device that doesn't advertise video out and you clearly knew when you purchased it that it didn't have video out.

It's the fastest phone on the market right now with a great keyboard, bright screen and no video out. Unfortunate but true. It's like buying a car without a sun roof, never advertised one but then you are frustrated it didn't have one and want to give the manufacturer a piece of your mind.

Lets hope a 3rd party delivers a solution.... but why on earth is a manufacturer responsible if they never promised it?
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
Happware, maybe you haven't read all 18 pages of this thread and/or seen the old commercials, but for a while vague advertisements were out there stating that Galaxy S phones had this feature. Some people even had phones that had the option under the menu, but who knows if they tried it or not. Since then software updates have removed the option from the list as well as advertising has changed.

Even with the Samsung techs I spoke to on the phone, they were surprised that the Epic didn't have this feature since they were under the blanket impression that all of the Galaxy S line had this feature. After working my way through the ranks of tech support I was inevitably given then "we cannot confirm nor deny if the phone is physically capable as Sprint asked us to remove the feature" and then he proceeded to tell me to check Qualcomm's website and compare specs of the chipsets with Galaxy S phones that had TV-Out vs the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
No, think happware may be right. I went back and looked and the EPIC promos and they never show a wired TV-out connection. It always said DLNA. Can you produce the info that shows a wired tv-out?
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
That gives me hope that eventually the option will return.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
Internet information can easily be edited and commercials removed. Short answer...no.

Did my GF and I both go out and get the Epic and Captivate because we were told that the entire Galazy S line had it, both through corresponding stores who sold either of the phones we got? We're Samsung's own techs surprised it didn't have it? When the Epic first came out, did it have TV-Out under it's options menu? Short answer...yes. Bettery yet, it has even been shown that TV-Out files are buried within the OS on the phone itself. Why they're in the, who knows. We can speculate all we want.

Either way, early on there was (no longer at this point) misinformation out there that the entire line of Galaxy S phones had this feature, but as it's been noted on the forums and through Samsung's own tech department, the option was left on the phone for sake of not creating competition with the EVO.

At this point, we already know that 2.2 will enable audio through the MicroUSB, and even one member over on SDX said explicitly that he had a customer come in who had functioning MicroUSB to HDMI video and audio via his Epic and showed it to him in person at a Sprint Store. Since it was a customer, he says he didn't dive further into the information as to how he did it, but we're hopeful it gets figured out for those who want it.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
tv out cable? who still uses a physical cable anymore? lol
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
I've looked online for DLNA adapters that could carry the signal through RCA or something else, but no luck. That would at least get me halfway closer.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
18 pages of talk about not having a tv out feature that was never advertised. The phone has the ability to stream media to a tv, you just don't have the right tools. DLNA was advertised, I'm pretty sure its right on the box. tv-out on the other hand was not.

The Evo is a great phone you know. T mobile also has the G2 out. Hell windows phone 7 is about to drop. I'm sure you can find a more suitable option for yourself sooner or later.

Just like the Epic 4g suits me.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
This explains why we've got 18 pages on the subject - his GF's phone can do something his can't and he's tired of hearing about it....

(And guess what - so are we)
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
So wity!

1) It's a public forum

2) I'm completely on topic, so what are you *****ing for

3) No one is making you come here brotha. If you don't like the subject matter, just like anything else...change the f'ing channel.

PS - Don't pull the internet tough guy card either cause I told you to F over the internet...that reply is so over done. You came here on your own free will. Take my reply just like it is...if you don't like it, go somewhere else. Period.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Apologies if this has been covered at lengthy already, if so just give me a link and lock this thread...

I've had my vibrant for a couple weeks. It's all stock with a handful of apps downloaded. I have two email accounts linked (synced), one with gmail.com and one with comcast.net.

The problem is with the comcast account. On a daily basis, I get an alert(s) about new messages. I check, and there's nothing new. Sometimes I check, and I see emails that I've previously deleted. I have the "incoming server settings" set to delete email from server "when i delete from inbox."

Anyone else hear about or have this problem? Any solutions, advice, or settings I should check?

Thanks for any feedback.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I am getting the same issues. I have 2 hotmail accounts and gmail. I get ghost hotmail emails. I get a notification that I get a new email. I check my computer to make sure its not there, and its not in the phone either but I still get a notification that i received a new email.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
This happens because the email app downloads 25 messages, so when you delete one you get and read, then you would have 24 emails, so the phone will download the next oldest on the server to have 25 emails, so the "new email" is actually all the way to the bottom and its old in the server but marked as unread on the phone... solve it by downloading all your emails to the phone, not just 25
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
If this is true, that's horrible! I have thousands of emails from years ago that I do not want to download to my phone every time I delete 1 email.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Thanks for the info! But, to download all my emails instead of just 25, do I have to change a setting or something? I can't figure out where to make the change.
[Vibrant General] Damitu:
I've also noticed that new mail will show up and it's not in your

main mailbox but, bulk, junk etc....
[Vibrant General] dq13:
You can change t on settings (press and hold the account name until menu pops up) or you can scroll to the bottom after the last email and tap "download more messages" and it will download the next 25. I never have over 50 emails on my Hotmail inbox (use folders) so by doing that its downloading everything on the server so when I delete a junk email I just got, there are no more messages to download, they're all on the pone so I wont get that notification of "new email"
[Vibrant General] dq13:
Then maybe you can download K-9 email app and set the account there, I've heard its a pretty good app but I haven't tried it myself, the stock works for me
[Vibrant General] sigeltek:
I had the same issue, ended up just deleting my pop... the main problem I had that pushed me over the edge was, I would get a new email, click notification, it opens up the client, and before I can click on it, the e-mail dissapears, so I have to log into webmail to read it...
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Thanks, I see what you mean now about the "new" email actually being the oldest one way down at the bottom. This is bugging me because when I click "load more messages" it seems to just think for a long time and never finish.

I'm still having trouble finding the place to adjust this in settings. When I click settings, then accounts and sync, I see the account in the list. A long press does nothing. A soft press bring up options for syncing contacts and syncing calendar, but nothing on how many emails to download. (I am noticing that even though this is my main email account, it's associating it with Facebook, there's a big "F" icon.)

Also, I logged in to the account online and I seem to have lost TONS of old emails I was saving in my inbox. I can get over that, I guess, but still. Ow.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
To see the settings of how many emails to download, go to the email app, not to settings, on the email app, you will see a list of accounts you have (if u have more than one) in that case long press the account u wanna change and a menu will pop up, one of the options on that menu is settings. If you only have one account, when u open the email app it takes you to the inbox, press the.menu button and then press "accounts" and you will see the one account that you can long press
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Thanks for the continued assistance. i only have one account, so I opened the email app, clicked menu, clicked accounts, long pressed my email account and clicked on account settings.

The attributes it allows me to adjust there are: account name, your name, email check frequency, default account, email notifications, select ringtone, vibrate, incoming settings, outgoing settings, forward with attachment and signature,

I just don't see anything about how many messages to download. hmm.
[Vibrant General] ArbitrageMan:
I think the option to download more messages is only available if you have your email account set up for a POP connection, not imap... I think.

However, I get phantom email notifications all the time on my imap connection. This weekend I got a bunch, but I wasn't doing anything with my email (no new messages, no reads, no deletes). At one point on Sunday it said i had 25 unread email messages on my work account, but I had none! (no junk messages either)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] TheJokah:
I also have topa 210 (Pure). I have found a way to ge a ringtone, but you would have to do the procedure after reboot. Also i have not found a way to get notifications or alarms yet. Hope I don't have to ;)

1. boot into Andoroid

2. Open media scanner (You should be able to play music from your sdcard now!)

3. Using Astro file manager, navigate to sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

4. Select a ringtone you want to use (you can play it first).

5. Hold the File down until menu comes up

6. Select music options

7. Select set as ringtone

8. Enjoy!

If you look to see if your ringtones are selectable, they wil NOT be there. It will still say Silent, but the ringtone will still work. Try it out.

This is for Astro, but it may work with other programs

I make it so it underclocks the CPU when the battery % is lower and when charging on the USB charger, also a low CPU speed when the screen is off.

You can add profiles on the second tab on SetCPU.
