Don't know if there is a direct thread. I wish there was. I would like to get more in-depth with the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
Hmm, interesting. where did you read about this? in the galaxy tab section?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] provoked:
Look for gdankos post "any brave volunteers" about aosp. Its definitely in there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipxnsv:
Actually, if you look at one of my posts, the Fascinate only has 384 megs of ram. My idea here is that the kernel is designed with the same base and all the phones inherently only look for 384 megs of ram regardless of how much the phone has. I am sure the galaxy tab has a different re-written one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewt:
Pretty sure this wouldn't matter anyways since the Captivate doesn't have a display with HD resolution.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThisWasATriumph:
The Tab has an extra 128mb chip.

Question tho:whats the point of having 1080p playback when the display can only play 480p? Why not just use handbrake
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
It will matter when we have an hdmi cable

arguing specs on as product yet to be released (just 6 more days) is useless. I can ask a friend that works there but if the specs aren't disclosed I doubt he'll tell me. I'd guess it had more ram dedicated to video to help handle the higher res screen. So it probably has more total ram. Also an alternative it's that the ram isn't dedicated to video but has some way to manage it dynamically, it may have been necessary to change how ram is handled to get the high def playback without adding ram. That might also mean the hardware is different whether the ram storage is or isn't. Could be why the leaked tab rom won't boot on a phone.

We will have to wait on this. Even if diffs get done it takes time to figure out what to do with the files. I think every one is trying to get out good froto versions right now. When froyo is official then development on froyo improvements might begin. Rumor is that the tab is released on the 11th as well as another froyo version for the I9000 and possibly froyo for the whole galaxy s line. If we can free up ram with a modded galaxy tab kernel or rom we might know by christmas.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
This sounds good :) im pretty sure it is.possible if the devs really get to it :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebaul:
I have a galaxy tab and a captivate, we opened them up and check the specs. they are the same. same ram, same processor different gpu's. unless we're looking at this thing wrong, the gpu is sending different signals to the probe hardware. processor is sending the same signals as well as amount of memory probed. the hardware is a bit more spread out on the tab of course, but so far same thing. BTW, looks kind'a cheap inside tho..LOL it might be that this unit is a working sample unit too, not the final production release, but works fine. few f/c when trying to watch a video that has a lot of special effects, but other than that, I'd say is a bit slower than the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
It's just the semantics of saying "port the extra available RAM"; It doesn't really make sense. To a lesser degree, neither does porting 1080p playback. While people may understand what you mean, it encourages sarcasm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
so my suspicions are right. Alright~ That means we have some hope to freeing some more available ram and 1080p hd playback!!! :D

Wait? different gpu? are you sure? According to GSMarena, both phones have the SGX540. I think you may be looking at the wrong area. I mean GSMArena could be wrong as well, but for an anticipated device such as this and with the release date coming up soon, I don't think GSMarena would be wrong :/ Is there a way you can send some photos of the Galaxy Tab and the Captivate after taking them apart. Like close-ups of the chips and PCB?

Just need some devs and we can do this! :]
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
How does it not make sense, you are porting the software or whatever configuration file, that allows for the extra available ram and 1080p playback. Do I have to spell it out for you?

Please, like I said before, if you aren't making a comment related to the thread, please don't post. I am honestly trying to get something going in the right direction, even if I can't actually do it myself because I think a lot of people may want it as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
I've read a lot of posts on this matter and this one makes the most sense to me.

here's to hoping!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
Hmm, what I'm getting from that, is basically the Galaxy Tab's "rewritten" one is 444 MB of ram?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
The two of you obviously did not read the whole OP. lol.

Its for outputting on a television using DLNA or that microusb to HDMI cable that Samsung is currently trying to fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTodFather:
This has already been looked at looong ago. No this cant be ported...and no dont try to flash it either...lol.

Tab has more ram. Something like 512 more. Its just not all free
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
I really don't think an explanation is going to help. If you don't see what I was getting at then further discussions would probably not get us anywhere.

One would assume you mean you want to free up more RAM and enable 1080p video on the Captivate, and you reason that, since the Galaxy Tab has the same basic hardware, it should be possible to do these things. I'm all for any performance enhancements. Right now, I'm enjoying an extra 200 MHz that was ported from the i9000.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
-.-, did you not see the post 1 page back. The guy has a captivate and and a galaxy tab. Took them apart, same cpu, same ram, different gpu (which im not sure since gsmarena states both phones/tab has a sgx540)

BTW, someone else in the thread said the Tab has more ram too, so if this many ppl believe so, someone post some kind of proof. Because GSMArena and the guy a page back who actually has both a tab and a galaxy s in his hand, say that they have the same ram chips.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
Yeah... so why are you arguing with me for... I still do not see what is wrong with my title... When you use the word "PORTING", it means software related.

Has anyone ever used the word "port" for something you need to change physically? No, so you are the only one that thinks that way because you are confused about the meaning of "port"

Either way, I really don't need a troll in here, so if you are really in for performance enhancements you can help. But if you just here to make for my error in my English, then thats not needed. I mean, it is an online forum. Who here has correct English -_- I still don't see whats wrong with it anyways so yeah....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebaul:
You might be right, the hardware is spread out somewhat on the tab, but honestly the gpu chip looks a bit different on the tab tho. it's like a few mm bigger on the captivate than on the tab, as crazy as it sounds. they do have the same model chip according to the probing, the feedback displays the same chip type and model. i'm no expert, but i'd say these things have same hardware, except on the outside and the fact that the tabs hardware is more spreadout, if that helps anyone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
Hmm, just sounds like they shrunk the die size of the chip on the Galaxy Tab. But still the same chip. Still sounds good.

Need to get some devs involved. Maybe they can put it on their to-do list. Hopefully it isn't too long ><
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andars05:
As the TheTodFather said, the Galaxy Tab has more physical RAM.

See this post:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
I never argued with you. You asked how it didn't make sense and I felt that either you know how it doesn't make sense or you will never accept that it doesn't make sense, so I chose not to argue the point.

You used the word not for software, but for an effect.

Yes, it's the internet, where 'your' means 'you're' and 'based off of' means 'based on' and 'would of' means 'would've'. I really don't care and I didn't directly comment on your semantical mistake until you protested that there wasn't one. I don't believe this began as anyone correcting your English; it began as some minor sarcasm and you took offense. Grow a thicker skin or learn to express yourself more clearly and if you don't want to argue about something then don't start an argument about it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
Well the reason why this seems like a viable option to look into is because messing with memory allocation can cause some severe stability issues (or minor, for that matter).

I can see Samsung as a large company only wanting to do this debugging process once to increase efficiency, and also having a little bit of communication disconnect between the hardware and software designers - putting in 512 when they were only ended up using 384. I can just see the hardware guy saying "what, what do you mean you're only using 384? I thought you said by June you could code it? Darn."

This is exactly the sort of problem that XDA developers would fix - make a ROM that uses all the memory but doesn't have the in depth vetting of the Samsung team - probably good enough.

Anyways, hope a coder thinks about this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
Hmm, so it has an extra 80 MB of ram.

Another thought came to mind last night. Reading through the Speedmod thread, there were certain amounts of ram before 720p recording and playback stopped working. Well, can we create some kind of script where we only had the allocated the ram of one of them? IDK how to really put this into words, but I don't think anyone will ever record 720p and watch a 720p video at the same time, so can we have it so that the ram is only open for one or the other, and it switches depending on whether you are recording 720p or watching it? Instead of having both of them take up ram, like have only one of them, at a time, taking up ram. Not sure of that really made sense :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hilaireg:
@ALL:

Please stay on topic and avoid digressing to flames/sarcasm ... it avoids having threads reported and mods having to action them.

I'm not familiar with the design of the Captivate; that said, from my experience with other devices, it may only be possible to access available RAM if the manufacturer has provided memory addressing capabilities. Assuming this has been done, a driver capable of addressing the memory would be required. This would help determine if porting components of one device (ex: HD playback) to another is possible. Questions that would be constructive in determining this could be:

Are the Galaxy Tab & Captivate designed on the same hardware platform

If so, what is the actual physical memory available and are the devices drivers capable of accessing all available memory

If so, is there a portion of this available memory reserved for video or is there a separate video memory space.

... and on and on.

Regards,

;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewt:
You are assuming that the galaxy S will have some sort of capability to switch video modes and disable it's built in screen while displaying some sort of HDMI out. Most likely, it will only be able to output what is being displayed on it's own screen.

Not only would you have to get the setup from the Galaxy Tab working on the galaxy S, you would have to get the galaxy S to disable it's own screen and switch video modes for HDMI output as I doubt the phone can support dual independent displays.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipxnsv:
Yeah. I wish more developers would listen to that.

http://galaxytab.samsungmobile.com/

this was sent to me by an aquanitance i talk to on a guitar forum who is a samsung senior engineer. i was asking about froyo and he sent me this along with a very vague answer.

hmmn no ram specs and it apparently does have the same gpu as this is official samsung. i wonder if however it has video ram and not system ram dedicated to video. that might explain the source of testing inconsistency and conflicting specs. i can ask someone but i dont like to bother him with work related things. i think he'd rather bs about guitars instead.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
i want the maps/agmented reality app!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoss_n2:
I have reached a conclusion . Actually aLthough the galaxy tab and the galaxys have same gpu they are not wOrking at same efficiency on neocore galaxy tab gets 54 fps while the galaxy s gets 57 so if we test the power of both (57x480x800 =22 million pixels per second ) while pthe galaxy tab (1024x600x54=33million pixels per second ) THAT MEAN THAT THE GPU OF THE TAB IS WORKING IN HIGHER EFFICIENCY AND SPEED THAN THE ONE ON THE GALAXY S so may be a port of galaxy tab driver will increase performence and that is why tab is announced with 1080P PLAYBACK while the galaxy s isn't because of the different gpu power
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
this is a great theory but i have a feeling that the tab has 512m system ram and additional dedicated video ram while the sgs has a total 512 system+video ram. also the galaxy can run much faster in neocore but something in the kernel stops it at about 56-57fps, so if the gpu can go faster than that you wont see it, actually some vibrant devs have removed that cap and can see 64 fps in neocore and with additional tweeks and overclocking they have seen 78 or so. it would be better to calculate the numbers with nenamark scores and even then it may be skewed a bit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoss_n2:
You may be strongly right about waht you said about ram because even if the galaxy s scores 78 it will give 29 million pixels per second which is still lower than the tab with 34 million pixels so may be there is additolional ram in the tab over the 512 to be used for graphical processing which make that difference and the tab is announced in us with 640 mb ram not 512

Wanted to ask,

I have 2.1, using nordic build.prop method, and now the 2.1 generic UK update has been released so is it possible to replace the nordic build.prop with a generic 1.6/2.1 build.prop so it updates my phone to the UK's firmware,

any help will be appreciated
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
No replies?

can I just upload a UK generic 2.1 build.prop and re-update my phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Teufelstein:
I already try to restore my original 1.6 build.prop for have the 2.1 FR firmware, but it doesn't work : after restore, the build.prop is the same as 2.1 Nordic :(

sorry for my bad english, i'm french :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
I see, so it must be the same update then (meaning nothing different in nordic than uk) :) thanks for the reply
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Teufelstein:
Yeah, because if you check in the build.prop, it's the same "version fs" : World 1-8 but not the same product name : E10i_1236-9436 for my 1.6 ROM and E10i_1238-0549 for 2.1

It's strange :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mon2_007:
Yeah I too Wanted To Do The Same As I Have Flashed Using Binary's Guide Nordic Firmware But now Firmware 2.1 is officially Released in My Local ( India ) What To Do Guys ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Teufelstein:
First, you should check your old 1.6 and new 2.1 build.prop and compare the ro.semc.version.fs value (for me it's world-1-8)

If it's not the same, then replace your actual (2.1 nordic) build.prop by your 1.6 india. Then restore with SEUS

Hopefully this will help you :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
In my case, both says WORLD-1-2-5, I have upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 using a Brasilian build.prop, now in Argentina 2.1 has been released, last night I tried to change the firmware using the OLD build.prop and it doesn't work. So I GUESS i need a updated argentinian's 2.1 build prop... again I GUESS.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
What you guys can try is -

Restore your original 1.6 build.prop, (Or just change product.name, all three instances) save it and shutdown the phone (remember do not switch it on, you will stuck on SE logo forever)

Go to Sony ericsson>update service>db>some_number>blob_fs folder and delete all the files (or cut-paste them somewhere else)

Connect your phone to update service and force repair.. You will hopefully get back to your original version.

I restored my phone to original version through this method... Hopefully it will work for you too..
[General Questions and Answers] max_3000:
Okay, so today I traded in my Nokia N900 for a Milestone. First time ever using android so a few questions:

-How do I kill apps?

-How do I set it so when I'm not connected by wifi, the phone or it's apps won't use cellular data? As in, set it up for updating email, apps etc ONLY when I'm connected through wifi.

-Which is the best 2.2 froyo ROM? I'm considering the Cyanogen alpha rom so is it ready for everyday use (phone calls, messaging, internet)?

-Can I use the overclocking app with Cyanogen?

-What is the best music player with folder browsing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] max_3000:
Anyone? I know these are extremely nooby questions but my phone is in limbo right now untill I get some resolutions..
[General Questions and Answers] moSess:
I think xda has a milstone forum. Maybe you should chek in there.

With android you really don't kill apps. Do a search, the reasons are all over. Do have a app to kill rouge or misbehaving apps though. I use quick system info

I use quick settings to quickly access these things from the taskbar curtain. I can turn auto sync data on or off quickly or go one click further into those options to turn off background data. Then just easily turn these on when I toggle wifi. I like cyanogen. They are lite and highly functional.
[General Questions and Answers] max_3000:
It does but I've seen threads like these in which people said should be posted here so that's what I did as not to piss those folks (and the mods) off.
[General Questions and Answers] Aoi_sora9x:
Hi, as it has been pointed out, please go to the milestone section

but i'm going to help you out anyway because you are new :)

-How do I kill apps?

ans: you don't need to. When you don't want to use an app anymore just press home. The app will be automatically killed later. Don't install any task managers, they don't work as well as they advertised themselves.

-How do I set it so when I'm not connected by wifi, the phone or it's apps won't use cellular data? As in, set it up for updating email, apps etc ONLY when I'm connected through wifi.

ans: Setting -> Wireless & network -> mobile networks -> uncheck Data Roaming.

-Which is the best 2.2 froyo ROM? I'm considering the Cyanogen alpha rom so is it ready for everyday use (phone calls, messaging, internet)?

Ans: simply put, you can't install Cyanogen. Right now there are only 2 2.2 froyo rom out there for milestone (one from GOT team and MotoFrenzy). Cyanogen port for the Milestone is still not well developed and is very unstable. IMO just stick with 2.1 mod for now.

-Can I use the overclocking app with Cyanogen?

Ans: Any rooted milestone can be overclocked. There's an app in the market called Milestone Overlock, install it after you root your phone.

-What is the best music player with folder browsing?

Ans: Various. At first I prefer Music Mod, but now I think PowerAMP is the best. Try it and you won't regret it.
[General Questions and Answers] max_3000:
thanks a lot!

So you're basically saying that none of the 2.2 custom roms are worth it right now?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Data Roamer enables/disables data when you're roaming.

If you want to disable data, go to Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile Networks > uncheck Data Enabled.
[General Questions and Answers] moSess:
Yeah, sorry about that. The micro maneging on the site has become horrible. People get overzealous:p

Methinks Meridian is best for folder browsing. I will try these recommendations though. Always can be something better.:)
[Trophy General] jokesp:
Hi guys,

i've noticed a couple of problems with my Trophy chief of them being that i can barely hear my alarm clock going of on the device.

I've made a video of it and uploaded it to youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUL6zWK9mU8

Are any of you having the same issue?

I've contacted HTC and they told me to take it back to the store and ask for a replacement.

One of the other issues i have is that the volume of music sometimes is also quite low. I have to restart the device to get my music to sound loud enough.

Regards

J.
[Trophy General] NoFatePPC:
see the reply you got on youtube :)

its get louder the longer the alarm is going it seems :)
[Trophy General] jokesp:
So it seems.

But that leaves me wondering how up to date the HTC support staff is concerning WP7.

Apparently it does get louder, but why would the support guy tell me to do a hard reset and if that doesn't help return the device to the store.

He clearly doesn't know enough about WP7
[Trophy General] NoFatePPC:
that happens to me all the time if i call a helpdesk , they just follow a procedure... If you are more experience with this stuff , then you wouldnt work @ a helpdesk :)
[Trophy General] jokesp:
I think I just expected to much from the support guy, lesson learned there :)

Thanks for all your replies!
[Trophy General] Elchico:
Hey Jokesp

Ik heb net hetzelfde probleem zoals jij

heb je ondertussen al een oplossing voor gevonden voor die

muziek volume die soms stiller is geworden?

thx!
[Trophy General] jokesp:
@ Elchico

De enige oplossing is het herstarten van het toestel.

HTC is hiervan op de hoogte, nu enkel wachten op een oplossing van hen.

Mvg
[Trophy General] The Gate Keeper:
guys, please keep it english. if you need use google/bing translator and post it's translation below your post.
[Trophy General] nehvada:
just dont lay your device flat on the table. this blocks the speaker and reduces volume by half at least. ;)
[Trophy General] mtem1985:
thats an option.

What bugs me about the alarm is that when it rings for quite a while (I'm a heavy sleeper) and you have set a couple of alarms, and let the second one kick in, it to starts to ring (still no biggy cause its supposed to wake you up). So when I finally get up and dismiss the both alarms, and I unlock the device the home-screen doesn't respond. The live tiles are still moving, and everything seems fine, but I cant select anything, I can lock the screen again, and undo the screen lock again but the home-screen won't respond, so I have to reboot the device.

Hope they'll fix this in the next update :)
[Trophy General] tiwas:
mtem: the quick fix is to get a wife who's really grumpy in the morning and doesn't have to get up before at least an hour after you. Believe me, that'll wake you up when she wakes up from the alarm :p

Maybe I should make an alarm app and call it PMS alert or something :D
[Trophy General] mtem1985:
hahaha yeah that's an easy fix :p

i'll just have to learn to snooze it on time :)

Till there is a fix for this :)
[Trophy General] esnwizz:
for me, when i wake up to dismiss the alarm, it freezes at unlock screen. Unable to switch off. only way is to remove battery and restart.
