[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christine78:
The fact is Samsung can play most of MP4 files. Several special MP4 videos will not be played as MP4 is a container video format which may encode with a variety of codecs like H.264, MPEG-4, Xivd, DivX, MPEG-4 ASP etc. or with subtitles or multi-channels audio tracks. As MPEG-4 AVC H.264 codec, support is limited to the required specifications. If your MP4 files are using audio and video codec that Samsung Galaxy cannot support or your MP4 files cannot meet the supported specifications of audio and video codec, your Samsung Galaxy phones or tablets will fail to play MP4 files. Even you download different Android video player, they still fails to play.

In order to successfully play MP4 on Samsung Galaxy, a better solution is to convert MP4 to Samsung Galaxy supported MPEG-4 Video with require specifications. Google search TechiSky How to Play MP4 on Samsung Galaxy you will find the answer.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
Trying to make a little .CMD Files to uninstall my app so I don't have to type everything in again when I do a flash rom.. here is what I have

pause

@adb kill-server

@adb shell cd /system/app/
@adb shell su*
pause

@adb shell rm /system/app/RemotePVR.apk
@adb shell rm /system/app/tn55-android-blur.apk
@adb shell rm /system/app/FaceRecognition.apk
@adb shell rm /system/app/Layar-samsung.apk

pause

The issue is at the "@adb shell su*" I get an error saying at the super not found.. now when I type the commands in my self it works great.. but in a .bat file or .cmd files it does not work.. what i'm I missing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googlymoogly:
Every call to ADB like this is a standalone command.

That is, when you do a

adb shell cd /system/app/

what happens is that it starts the adb shell, runs the command, and then exits. So when you call su, you lose superuser access when running the next adb shell command, because that shell instance is now gone, kaput, finito.

I also tried to make a script like this, but got stuck. We need to chain commands to ADB, like you can do in *nix with a semi-colon separator between command, like thus:

command1 ; command2

("&&" in Windows/DOS)

But ADB doesn't seem to support chaining commands.

I guess you have to do a shell script, put it on the phone and run it from there. Or some kind of "adb sushell" command would be nice...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
Thanks I was kinda wondering if that was what was happening.. to bad the su command would not stay active.. o well.... maybe someone will come up with something..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
Im not at a pc but can u test

adb shell su command

Does tht work ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodue:
you could make a 2nd script which pushes the 1st to the device with "adb push". this script then gets root with "su" and uninstalls/deletes the apps ... btw. you can try using "pm" (packetmanager) which can install/uninstall/reinstall apps. however i don't know if it works with system apps...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
Alright here : (eg, say remove launcher)

adb shell su -c 'mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system'
adb shell su -c 'rm /system/app/Launcher.apk'
adb shell su -c 'rm /system/app/Launcher.odex'
adb shell pm uninstall com.android.launcher

fyi : "SystemApp Remover" on market essentially does the same thing, except it eliminates the need for u to look for the package name ur self.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googlymoogly:
Hm, that works, but I get a superuser prompt on the phone for every new command (the "app name" is the command line).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
sweet that worked. I would get the SystemApp Remover but I can't download paid apps till Google will fix my account. unless there is something like it for free.

Hi,

I have downloaded a movie in MP4 format and while playing it on my Samsung Galaxy S, i can see the picture but there is no sound coming...

Picture quality for the file is very good no problem in it..only thing is sound is missing.

Is it some problem? Or some settings needs to be changed?

Seniors..plz advise.

[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
From a technical standpoint, the SoC is infact multicore - it contains an applications processor (ARM7v2-based), a phone/baseband processor, and a graphics chipset, though this can be somewhat lumped into the applications processor.
[Epic 4G General] javahead76:
I can haz people stop calling phone epic fail?

If you want a perfect phone...go build one. As much crap and software as these things have, it's not gonna be perfect right out of the gate. Peeps that says "Epic Fail" = Epic Criers. Go return your Epic and march yourself over to the Evo forums with a new Evo and start calling them Evolutionary Garbage or something and piss off other Evo owners. Then return that and get yourself an iPhone. That's probably the forum where you belong. :mad:

Even with a couple bugs... there's no way this thing is a failure!
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
ROFL, bugs is what you call them? upload speed that doesn't go over 150kbps I guess is a bug if anyone was actually going to fix it and we have no confirm on that.

Has anyone tried to use tv out on the fascinate? Its the main reason I got the phone only to find out it may not have this function like the other galaxy s phones. Does anyone have a cord to try it with?
[Fascinate General] frostman89:
I would but damn, 50 bucks for the Micro USB to HDMI cable from samsung.
[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
I'm more interested in the rca out from the headphone jack actually
[Fascinate General] lattosimbaste:
Tried earlier with a Zune video cable but no luck. May be the cable however, can't ring it out to confirm until Monday.

Any links to confirm pinout of the headphone connector on the Fascinate in the meantime?
[Fascinate General] frostman89:
I saw a video earlier today showing a prevew of the 3.5mm jack to rca on the international galaxy s, and it was enabled through settings > sound & display, but looking at my phone, I do not see tv out and sub menu that the person navigated in order to enable tv out.

Hmm.
[Fascinate General] frostman89:
sorry double post
[Fascinate General] darkcaster5:
I was looking for this function too and can confirm it is not listed under the settings. How likely is it that the hardware was changed to remove this feature?
[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
It looks like there are still four contacts inside the 3.5mm jack on the phone. I'm hoping that means the hardware hasn't been changed and only the software so that someone can potentially get the tv out function working on the fascinate
[Fascinate General] darkcaster5:
I hope so, was really looking forward to playing NES/SNES via a bluetooth controller (Wii Remote, anyone?) on a TV from my Fascinate!
[Fascinate General] djunio:
Itll work just swap the red n yellow cables
[Fascinate General] frostman89:
i ordered a 3.5mm jack to rca cable, will see if it works when it gets here.

It was tested on a captivate and worked, so we will see, it was cheap so no big deal.

All I have at my disposal right now is a 3.5mm Stereo Plug To Dual RCA Jack Adapter but all it has is red and white. Will testing that lead to anything while I wait for the other cable?
[Fascinate General] djunio:
Plug the red where the yellow go n the white in its right place. Make sure you have tv out selected in settings first. It should show on your tv.
[Fascinate General] spotmark:
Some of you proabably already know this, but for those of you who don't, check this out. If you have a PS3, and it's connected to your home network, you can stream movies off your phone, through the PS, onto your TV, using the AllShare app. It's not the greatest quality, but certainly ups the wow factor of this phone when you demonstrate it for your friends. :D Also, if your TV is networked as well, you can use your phone as a remote to stream the movies on your computer to your TV, and these play in excellent quality.
[Fascinate General] darkcaster5:
The point of this thread is that we dont have the tv out option availible on the fascinate.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
Unless samsung removed that feature, it should be in. They claimed the galaxy S line did t.v. out. I know i tested on the vibrant and it worked for all but copy protected movies.
[Fascinate General] frostman89:
I think for whatever reason, some settings that come with other galaxy s phones, do not come with the fascinate. The obvious one is tv out, then I also read about being able to change the font to a few different preset options, but also cannot locate that feature. There are probably more left out features that I don't know about, due to never playing with any of the other galaxy s variants.
[Fascinate General] darkcaster5:
It is definetly not in the software options, however I would not be suprised if Samsung left it out (it is not on the Epic 4g either) until 2.2 so as to help promote the HDMI output option as well. (Why buy RCA for $10 when you can get HDMI for $50 mentality)

Just speculation on my part, I have no idea why the option does not appear. However I would really like to see someone compare the dumps from on of the other US models and compare to see if we can add it in :)
[Fascinate General] StDevious:
look in the sounds and display options. it's the last option in that menu on Vibrant.
[Fascinate General] darkcaster5:
As said previously the option is not there on the samsung fascinates menu.
[Fascinate General] 02CWRX:
I have the cable and it worked on my Captivate, but I dont have a Fascinate in front of me (yet). I would assume with no setting to turn on, you (we, since I have two on order) are out of luck. I know with my Captivates, it worked only when enabled. Mine should be here the 22nd and then I can check.

~T.J.
[Fascinate General] frostman89:
Yea I received the cable on Tuesday but it is obvious I am missing software inside the system itself, as I tried to force it with apps that do tv out individually, but no go. Also tried the red, yellow cable mash up, to no avail.
[Fascinate General] lukaro:
I think it was a Verizon issue since they use the HDMI out on the Droid x to push the x.
[Fascinate General] weedahoe:
Im confused. How are you going to get video out of the headphone jack? Or are you just wanting audio?
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
the 3.5mm jack is just like the one on the iplop. it has 4 contacts in it. take a flashlight and look for yourself. audio(L&R) out, video out, and ground. there are some videos on youtube showing it working. from my understanding it is disabled via software and will become active once you update to 2.2 once its out. we shall see.

while not in English here is a video showing how it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-_IrLXLMvM
[Fascinate General] weedahoe:
Thats interesting. I didnt know that. THX
[Fascinate General] darukhan:
Please let us know what your findings are as well.
[Fascinate General] darukhan:
:( That's not good news. The wifey has a new Fascinate and we were going to buy the same cable to use the video out feature.
[Fascinate General] daavy:
Are you sure that's not L/R audio, mic input, and ground?
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
it could be but i haven't seen anyone say anything about using a wired headset. that would also take away the stereo sound which would kind of defeat the purpose of HD video if you only have mono sound. but again, i could be wrong.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
watch the video i posted above and see if her phone has that menu option. if it doesn't then i doubt you will be able to do video out. as i said in that post, what i have heard is video out will be made available in the 2.2 update. its available on 2.1 for other versions of the S but not sure why it isnt on the VZN version. hopefully in 21 days i will have a Fascinate in my hand to test. maybe we can find someone to do a system dump from another version so we can enable video out like on the Touch Pro(which required HTC's video cable originally).
[Fascinate General] StDevious:
You don't get HD video out. It's SD. Pretty crappy. But still it's like your whole phone on TV, so that's cool. Also there is some sort of DRM protection in default players. So avatar on vibrant doesn't play on TV.

But ya, it's not HD video out.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
yep, wasnt thinking about that. to have HD out you would have to have the HDMI port. wasnt there some talk of a HDMI to mini/micro USB for these or am i thinking of a different phone?
[Fascinate General] StDevious:
it's this phone but only samsung sells that cable, and it's out of stock for months. So essentially you can't get it.
[Fascinate General] 02CWRX:
The Micro USB to HDMI cable is made by others than just Samsung (and MUCH cheaper), but its still unavailable and/or out of stock everywhere Ive found it.

I tried playing with the video out of both the Captivate and the Fascinate side by side today with my cable (3.5mm to RCA) and it only works on the Captivate when the TV out is enabled. The Fascinate does nothing since it does not have this option in the software.

~T.J.
[Fascinate General] minedune:
What an absolute joke. :mad: Is there anything else VZ could have left off the phone if they tried? Ridiculous. At least we know it has to be a software only hack to get the analog video out working, so are any dev wizards working on a fix yet?
[Fascinate General] Apeman42:
Hey guys, I started a thread in the Fascinate development about this. Here is a Captivate system dump which I am currently looking through which may help.

forum.xda-developers[DOT]com/showthread.php?t=730226
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
Hate to bump an old thread but just got off tech support with Samsung and the SCH-I500RKAVZW, the Fascinate, does not support video out through the 3.5mm plug. He said it was neither a hardware nor a software issues since it isnt an option on the Fascinate. It looks like it was an option that was just not included, probably per verizons request.
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
Tech support over the phone from any company is a joke. They most likely gave you that answer as it was the easiest to give. From samsung's point of view they already had the boards designed for these phones, so only slight adjustments needed to be made as a production model. Verizon could not request the lack of this feature. The hardware seems in tact the software just needs to activate it, which at this time we lack.
[Fascinate General] Buji:
I thought I read in another thread somewhere that the CDMA chipset actually was incompatible with the video out and that was why it was removed from the mainboard. The phone plug may be the same as the fascinate but I seem to recall that the hardware wasn't there fort video output at all. I for one am disappointed not to have this, I have a 5" monitor on my in dash stereo in my vehicle that has an rca input that	I would love to have the video signal on...
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
this info not only came from on-line tech support but also through there email support. apparently the only video out feature that the Fascinate supports is the DLNA through "allshare". just because you think everything is there doesnt mean it is. the fact is the 3.5mm jack could be different or pins not connected. i dont have a magnifying glass here at work so i cant see inside the plug to well so i cant say if there is 4 or 5 contacts inside. at the min there should be 4, 1. ground, 2. right, 3. left, and 4. input for a mic from a corded hands free ear plug. the 5th contact would be for video out which would ride on the same contact as the mic connection, i would assume. unless they have put 2 inputs to one contact inside the phone itself. now, i didnt ask about the miniusb to hdmi/minihdmi so i have no clue about that output. with both lines of tech support telling me the same thing i tend to believe them.
[Fascinate General] blazingwolf:
I know you are just posting what you are being told by Verizon tech service but they are notoriously wrong about what phones can do. It's usually because they are told it won't do something by someone else or it's not listed in the spec sheet. I'm not saying it can be done but the fact remains that on other phones that they said could not do something was later proved to be patently false.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:

But i have two issues, the battery meter sucks. it never reads right, and when my phones dead it reads "fully charged" within like 30 seconds of plugging it in. the meter also reads 12% after maybe an hour. i then log into winmo, and its actually 85%. also, my camera doesn't work. like i said, im new to this, i was just wondering if there's a fix for both?

I've seen this tweak for other devices and decide to give it a try for my Nexus One. it works great. This is what I've done.

1) connect phone to computer (using USB or my "ADB over WIFI" app, I connected over Wifi)

2) "ADB pull /system/build.prop"

3) Edit build.prop file (make a backup first), find density and change "240" to something else (I've tested 200 and 220, and settled down on 220)

4) "ADB remount"

5) "ADB push build.prop /system/build.prop"

6) "ADB reboot"

and you will see the magic. Try all commands on the command prompt without quotes. You definitely need a rooted phone.

Have Fun!

Could you pass appbrain app market 4.0 to me?

If your phone can't access the Android Market, you cannot use AppBrain. Appbrain is not a market, it is just a companion tool. Downloads are still handled through links to the official Android Market.
