There's a flip type case I found for the captivate from WirelessGround. Looks similar to the one from PDair. In fact, I believe they are the same. Both websites also have videos posted on youtube showcasing their respective cases.

I would post the links for you, but I can't. Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but I hope that helps.
[Captivate Accessories] AllGamer:
cases are compatible among them all as they have the same cut holes for the buttons and mic areas

except for the 4G Epic which has a keyboard slide out

this is yet another reason why we need this

Thanks xer09aradox. It is what I'm looking for, although they're not as attractive as I was hoping. :p

It's hard to tell from photos, but does the i9000 have more rounded corners than the Captivate?

If it does, then I can't imagine my Captivate being about to fit into the original case I linked in my first post. :(

I just came across an app called Real HDMI. It says it's only for the Droid X but it's supposed to allow you to turn off/on the HDMI port, and "use your favorite video players, applications and emulators on your big screen TV or Stereo."

Wondering if something like this could work on a Streak?

[Captivate General] joseverdin10:
I am a new android/captivate buyer. Try as I might (googled for a few hours) I could not find anything on the Captivate and it's Hd playback. My question is:

Is there a way I can play Youtube HD on my Captivate via stream? (and NO I don't mean High Quality I mean straight up HD *720p*.).

I'm just mad the iphone 4 can and I can't find a way to do it on my captivate.

Thanks

[Captivate General] Belaflek:
If you are connected via wifi, I believe it defaults to the highest..on 3g it defaults to low and you have to click thne menu button, go to 'More' and go to high quality. Someone will correct me if Im wrong
[Captivate General] UberGoat:
Neither the iPhone 4 nor any Android phone has 720p screen resolution. If the iPhone 4 is telling you it is displaying at 720p, it is either cropping or compressing the video.

However, the Samsung Captivate and many other Android phones are essentially at 480p HD resolution, which is what setting the videos to High Quality should display (bump it up to 480p playback).
[Captivate General] heliumhelicopter:
That is the way it works on our version of Youtube. The newer version has a more conveniently placed HQ button and allows you to set HQ as the default.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
I might add the Captivate also plays 720p and 1080p (though really it's pointless) video files quite well. And UNLIKE the iPhone 4, you don't have no encode everything in MP4/H.264 to play them. Thank you Samsung for native MKV and AVI container support...

And yes, the Captivate's screen resolution is lower than 720p (assuming a pixel for pixel representation), but in practice if you're watching a movie or tv show, it looks way better if the file is 720p as opposed to 480p.
[Captivate General] joseverdin10:
Man... Why does the iPhone 4's videos look SO much more crisp than my dear Samsung? They can't beat the vividness of the display though :D Hopefully youtube can be updated to play sharper videos for android later down the line. These screen resolutions are getting more epic every year. Thanks for replying guys.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] listylister:
Hi Guys,

I'm building an app for android (Server Status) - it's currently in it's beta stage but would love if you would test it and suggest improvements etc.

This is your chance to get on board and contribute to an application that has been built on an X10 mini - none of this "too small screen" rubbish.

I welcome your comments and suggestions - it is a very simple application at the moment but will hopefully become something really useful to server administrators.

App Name: Server Status

Developer: Chris Priestland

Version: 1.14

It should be available for all X10 mini owners...

P.S. QR Code is in my avatar
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Darkbidule:
I'm not gonna test it cause I know nothing about server, but I wish you the best for it :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] listylister:
Well that's the beauty of this application - it just monitors the uptime of a website. It should be usable by people that know nothing about websites. So would be great if you could download it and see if it's easy to use or not.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Darkbidule:
Like i'm curious I've tested it, and wonder what "down" means. I imagine that is the status of the server, but I don't know what it's mean clearly. BTW, it's really simple to use and it's an light app that's is good too.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] listylister:
Glad you have tried it :)

Yes DOWN means that the server is not accessible via a web browser - so it shows you on the move that a website is not accessible - very useful for website developers / administrators - maybe this could be made more clear with a tick or a cross image?

Let me know your thoughts.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Darkbidule:
For people that know nothing about websites yes it could be a plus, by example just in adding a FAQ option when you press key menu, which will explain you the differents words of status.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] listylister:
Nice idea - will add it to my list for the update :)

If anyone else has any suggestions please feel free to post them here :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Confused_Geek:
Just installed and tested. You have a simple and easy to use app. Neat! Great Job Done.

Now, I can monitor my domain with a simple click
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] listylister:
Glad you like it - there will be an update soon but need your suggestions for improvements.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] listylister:
The full version of Server Status has launched and you can get it by searching for server status on the market place or using the qr code below. It includes audio alerts, faqs, automatic updating and icons for UP and DOWN website status.

Thanks all for your input - hope you enjoy the full version :) I will be updating this app constantly with new features and improvements based on your suggestions so keep suggesting :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tinySE:
Hey nice app :) I've just try it on my x10 mini pro and it works well. I joined what other guys have said :)

I think you should upgrade it by make this app a small widget :D

It's just an idea.

See ya
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] listylister:
Thanks for your suggestions - will certainly consider it. I have decided to offer this as a free application instead of a paid application.

If you have anymore idea's for this or a new project please let me know :)

[Vibrant General] Tempott:
Hey there, dont know how many of you care about playing MP3s on you Vibrant, but I love it. The downer for me right now is have a beautiful Super Amoled screen and then blurry album cover art when your playing your mp3s. Ive always manually imported my cover art with itunes. the cover art I use is typically 800x800, but of course the area on our phones that shows the cover art is much smaller. So all the more reason the picture should look just as sharp as it does on my monitor when Im playing music with windows media player or on my ipod. Anyone else notice there album art cover blurry looking.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I was literally just trying to figure this out as well. I thought that was just me. Not really sure how to fix it unfortunately.
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
Most likely iTunes down-rez'ed the pictures for iPod use. For our Vibrants a 480x480 would be the minimum resolution on the covers to not have to do any blow-up that causes pics to get blurry. What I've been doing is using Mp3Tag and just load the cover art into each song. Most of mine were downloaded off Amazon's CD pages or Google image search of the album name. They're mostly 300x300, 400x400, or 500x500. 300x300 does still look blurry but better than what MixZing downloads on its own.
[Vibrant General] Tempott:
At first I thought itunes may be compressing the Album Artwork as well, sorta how Kies was compressing imported pics. But then I realized it cant be itunes because the same mp3s display artwork full size and clear on windows media player. So Im actually thinking it may be the android operating system or the mp3 player on the phone. Gotta get fix because its really anoying me. This display doesnt deserve such low resolution pics. :)
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
It's the music player. If you use 3 or double twist the artwork is not blurry.
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
I just double checked, it is indeed the default music player. Same mp3 file looks better on MixZing than on the default player.
[Vibrant General] Tempott:
Yes I just tried MixZing and the album art show crystal clear. I was trying ^3 and it has a really cool interface, the album art at first looked sharp but then it started using lower resolution art, even when I chose for it to use the embedded art. Couldnt get it resolved. I think I will stick with MixZing for now. If I dont run into any issues down the road, I will buy the full version. I cant think of why the stock player would use such low resolution album art on such a beautiful display. Hopefully they fix that in an update down the line.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
It looks great on my songs. But I can't recall how I got the images on the albums. I think I may have used some software to download the images. Or I may have copied them over from iTunes. In any case, I don'tthink there is inherently anything wrong with the software.

This is a screenshot of one of my albums. It looks a little fuzzy on the desktop since it's just 480x800. But it looks fine on the phone.

http://picasaweb.google.com/milindr/Android#5513509779849766770
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
Mine too seems fine/clear. The artwork I used ranges from 200x200 to 1000x1000, and I used MediaMonkey to add it. It works pretty well for finding most album art but if I didn't like the quality I would just do a Google image search for a better copy.

Are you using embedded album art or just .jpg files in the folders?
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
I'm also using media monkey and the album art is blurry. I do have embedded jpegs, but also copied them to the folder, because embedded were not showing.

Hello,

I have noticed there was a problem with missed calls which are shown in Lock Screen. Particularly in case of missed call, the lock screen probably show previous number and not the really number of missed call,

Does anyone have noticed this strange behaviour ? Is there any tips in order to get rid of this really annoying issue ???

Thanks
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
I notice this problem too. It's one of the many bugs of SENSE UI. No cure for that at the moment.

I'd encourage you to write and email complaint to HTC Support. Do not be contented with their standard response of "pls bring the phone to service center for checking and replacement". Replacement is not gonna solve it. No matter how many times they are willing to replace your unit. The problem is in the SENSE UI.

Let us force them to actually READ our complaints and provide us with real solutios. Possible thru updates or new ROM.

HTC customer support is very LAZY. The laziest i've ever encountered. Pls help us bombard them with countless complaints. SO that they will be forced to get up and do their work. For the benefit of us consumers.

Specifically the sound quality when streaming music. Wow is all I can say. I stream music to my motorcycle helmet (Chatterbox Xbi2) and have lots of listening experience with my Garmin Zumo GPS and my 3GS iPhoney. I must say that my i9000 kicks both their tales by a huge margin. I fidelity of the sound is fantastic, a tiny bit of base is lost but holy moly the rest is awesome. I'm not sure if it can attributed to BT 3.0 or what but I don't care, I am happy. Good job Samsung.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
I had a few black screen issues today2 days into using FW.

Stereo is Mono

FM stereo scans all channels. But anything past 105 frequency does not save. eg 107.5 will show up in scan list, but will not save as such number. In the main FM radio screen where you can manually move the tuning wheel it does not go past 105 frequency.. is this due to how Radio Frequency works in Hong Kong?

The brightness control from notification trick doesn't work (as with all other 2.2 pre releases)

Add to the list :)

From a glance this seems better than the other *kies froyo update* This list will help others decide. I personally could not reccomend any FroYo to the unadventurous. There are a few stable eclair builds.. Hoping for a stable froyo soon.

GPS locks in within 5 seconds which is great (as the last 8 or so fw's I have been one of the unfortunate ones who has been having grief with GPS) But accuracy is not amazing amazing.. but this and JM6 *eclair* have been showing promise.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] hyellow:
I was wondering, and yes, I have searched, but is it possible to stream pctv from your pc to Android, the easy way? There are guides telling how to use VLC to stream tv, guides that involves using windows media encoder, suggestions about using Orb live, wich just doesn't do it for me and even suggestions using the expensive slingbox.

I used to have mytinytv ( http://www.mytinytv.com/ ) on my PC wich did a really amazing job. The client, however, is only available for windows mobile, how ironic. I've changed the streaming profiles with windows media encoder 9 and achieved really high SD quality on my HD2 over 3g, yes, just 3g. The only downside with the client was that you could not easily zap trough the channels, as the tv server scanned all the channels but not letting you reorder it. Anyhow, it worked great, great quality and 30fps.

What is possible?

Mytinytv install file is still available on their site, however, the latest forum activity was about a year ago or so, so, hardly no progress anymore.

Is it possible to develop such a program for android? Or, is it just possible to create an android client for it? the client should be able to connect to the server using login credentials, give commands back to the tv server, i.e. changing channels and stream it using the built in streaming player of android.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] spope78:
Have a look at orb dot com (can't post link as I'm new, Hello all)

Basically, program runs on PC, connects you to a website, this then streams all your movies/songs to other devices.

I used to use it on my PS3 and iphone, fairly sure it will work on Android also.

Can also connect through the internet so can access it from work etc.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CptTwinkie:
I'm not sure if there is a way to do it or not but it may be worth pointing out that the captivate screen doesn't have the resolution to display 720p. I have heard that the iPhone 4 packs a very large number of pixels so 720p probably makes sense on that phone. I have also heard that the pixels are so small that they may not be entirely decernible to the human eye.

I would be interested in knowing if you do find a way to view 720p on the captivate. I'm more interested in downloading than viewing though.
