Correct. This is on the touch screen. I use the same features on my G1 all of the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpc2190:
Ok first make sure you are using the Android keyboard, on the text input box long hold on the screen click input method and make sure Android keyboard is selected not swype.

This should fix it swype keyboard is not the same as the Android keyboard I wish it was hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I'm about to get my Captivate next week.

Just wondering which ROM and cables are you using to make this work?

Does it work on the Cognition Froyo ROMs for example?

Would this cable work?

cheers! Looking forward to joining the Captivate Clan soon :)

For .99c you can give that cable set a try, but I tried the cable that came with my old Nokia N95 and it didn't work...so I ordered the cable on the Samsung site for $19.95 and guess I'll see what happens
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
This is what I bought. They're $0.39. Any ROM will do.

ps. I'm also using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse when I enable tv out.

Still no luck with the wiimote. :(

Edit: If you don't get any video out you may need to switch the yellow and red or yellow and white. Also tv out has to be enabled which is under settings>display.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
get a cable that works its bad enough we have to deal with an out dated connection from the days of vhs giving poor resolution, switching audio for video will make one audio chanel lower volume (depending on the input impedance of the tv audio in) and cause artifacts in the video from not having a video cable.

video cables are 75ohms vs near zero for audio.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:
Why would you want all that resistance in a cable?

Wouldn't that cause near to nothing to get transmitted?

Hi,

The touch screen of my 2 months old Galaxy S suddenly stop responding.

It was all good, after I woke up yesterday morning, I could't unlock the screen. Then I took the battery out to restart it, but didn't solve the problem.

I tried several ways ( restart, flashed ) none of them works.

Anyone can help me with this problem? What course that?

But is that for the evo I need to no
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
If it was, I'm sure it would be for the Nexus One.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Im wondering if its just the sdk or the source. If its just the sdk its pretty much a emulator and software tools for app developers. If its the source then that would be perfect. We could start building aosp gingerbread for the Evo.

gave up on 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Also im sure its done for the n1. The offical google phone always gets first treat.

[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
getting my donation money ready for cyanogen and friends.

personally, i just dont see how there can be a major overhaul of graphics and performance with such small amount of time between froyo and ginger.

but i hope to be proved wrong, we just havent gotten any major news about this iteration unlike froyos announcement of its super speedup tweaks.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
why in the world would the outdated nexus one get gingerbread? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Because the n1 always get stuff first. Matter fact it was most likely the test phone for it. Its the only dev phone out. Googles offical dev phone.

[EVO 4G General] DayoDee:
Oh ok I think it did say something about sdk
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Gingerbread won't be as big of a jump as some think. Honeycomb will be the big jump.

gave up on 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
n1 is still highly used in alot of university tech demos and concept technologies... its basically a cheap small computer with alot of sensors

case in point, the n1 in rocket launching for accelerometer and sensor data, etc.

i would say its still holding its own very well.

i would also hope its the testbed for all future android iterations, because if it runs good on that phone, then it'll run AWESOME on our evo phones.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Why? They have the same CPU (well, we have the CDMA variation if you want to be exact), same GPU, and same amount of RAM. If anything the Nexus One will run better since their kernels are usually more optimized because they come from Google.

As for not being a big leap, I think UI wise it will be. Expect a newer, darker theme and more animations/effects. I think that it'll look like a mash up between Froyo, the newer voice actions pop ups, the ASOP 3d gallery app, the YouTube app, and Google TV. I also expect hardware acceleration for the UI to be introduced.

Speaking of hardware acceleration, I'm actually kind of worried about how the EVO will perform here. I had a low end Sprint Optimus S, Epic 4G, and my EVO 4G on hand today. I wanted to see how each performed when using the 3D Gallery app and the EVO was pretty choppy.

The Epic's GPU is obviously good so its no surprise that it had no problems. The Optimistic S has a past gen 600 MHz CPU and the same Adreno 200 GPU as the EVO (which really makes a statement: our GPU is in a $50 budget phones), the lower resolution also helps and it ended up running the app very smoothly. The higher resolution of the EVO and the Adreno 200 was as I said choppy. Simple things like popping up the menu were choppy and unattractive even when only 1 photo was in the gallery...

I really hope Google has something up their sleeves. I can't imagine them releasing a choppy UI on the Nexus One which is essentially the same as the EVO performance wise. At least I hope so.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
The best thing that gingerbread will bring is VOIP using google voice number. If it works anything like the client thats part of gmail.com that would be cool.

EDIT: Post #666! \m/
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Gingerbread will look nothing like that. That much I can guarantee.

If you've ever played with making themes you'd realize that it's probably trying to call a bunch of system graphics that currently do not exist in Froyo. That's why it's mostly solid colors.
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
No, No, No....It is not for the N1, it is for the N2! Well they might not call it the Nexus 2 but that is what it is.... Googles successor to the N1. Tmobile will have it and it will be released the 11th with gingerbread pre installed and it's a samsung with 1.2 snapdragon..(some rumors are the 8th)....Well that is the most popular rumor.. Google it. We only have 4 days to see if it is true. If it is, i will be all over it!! I've been waiting for a reason to go back to t-mobile. $79.99 a month unlimited (if you buy phone outright, no contract) and they have their 4g in my area now, sprint doesnt, and they charge a ton more than t-mobile.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
a ton more? more yes, if you don't have 4G probably not worth it, but t-mobile is capping their data now
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
Not on their phones. They do on their portable hotspots.

Unlimited means unlimited, not capped. I had this plan a few months ago before the evo released, on my nexus. My girl got the nexus and opened an account w/ tmobile, got the same plan, 79.99 unlimited everything.

and yeah $40 more a month to sprint than i was paying T-Mobile is a ton more. I do understand that tmobile doesn't have the best coverage for some, so some tmobile is not a good option. but it is excellent where i am. I like the free built in wifi calling too, no need for a separate airwave device or whatever it is called.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Rumors are that it has been delayed -- that's if it even exists. It also might just be a near stock Android phone that is not directly supported by Google (like the G2) so it might come with Gingerbread but still attached to the same crappy Samsung software upgrading. And a 1.2 Snapdragon? They don't use Snapdragons, it's rumored to be a 1.2 GHz Hummingbird.

You can get a EPRP plan with sprint and pay $69.99 w/ the new data fee or pay $79.99 (also with the new data fee included) for the regular ED plan with yearly upgrades. With unlimited mobile to mobile it's pretty much unlimited all around and with the ED plan you get a new phone every year at a subsidized price. Not saying that T-Mo is bad but Sprint offers superior 3G coverage, competitive (at least in this stage - T-Mo's HSPA+ coverage is just upgrades to it's existing 3G network which will become a bottleneck as it's the worse of the big 4) "4G" coverage, and better value (cheaper on contract w/ yearly upgrades).

I also wouldn't be super surprised if there's a Sprint WiMax version of this Samsung phone. Samsung already makes a WiMax Galaxy S for Sprint (Epic 4G), and the rumored Nexus Two is basically a Galaxy S with a bumped up CPU and vanilla Android. The original Nexus One was also announced by Sprint before being axed to better push their flagship EVO 4G which was going to be released around the same time.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
T-Mo is throttling all data (mobile or hotspot) after 5GB.
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
Thats new to me, i thought it was just the hotspot. So unlimited is not truly unlimited, nice. Something to consider definitely before i make the move.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It's still unlimited data... just slow unlimited after 5GB.
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
Here is a link to one of the rumors.. http://androidandme.com/2010/10/news/rumor-nexus-two-will-feature-1-2-ghz-cpu-headed-to-t-mobile/ For anyone interested.

[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
Yeah, only sprint does true unlimited and who knows for how much longer. And unless you don't have broadband who really threatens 5GB?
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
True that, 5 gb is a lot for a phone that is on wifi at home and work. With 4g speeds though you gotta be careful, wont take near as long! No more torrents on the phone lol.

Qualcomm's dual cores aren't due in devices until Q2-2H of 2011. Aside from some Tegra 2 phones (dual core but with current gen GPU performance), I doubt that we'll be seeing any dual cores from Samsung or HTC until the middle of next year. I'd rather wait for that anyway since next years dual cores from them will boast GPU performance that straight up kills the Tegra 2 plus they'll throw in all the other advancements in RAM, storage, and cam quality.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Replay20:
I have my first android phone, an HTC Desire and I am very happy with it.

But the only thing that is annoying is the low memory notification when I installed a few apps. So I search the internet found that I can "root" my phone and install a custom rom and have the possibility to use apps2sd.

Now I am a bit scared to root my phone because its just new and I dont want to brick it and I dont know if I void warranty when its rooted.

My desire came with the 2.2 froyo update it has HBOOT 0.93 on it so I don't know if this possible? I think I have the SLCD version because there's nothing of AMOLED write on the box of my phone.

So then I found a patch that can do apps2sd without root but only for 2.2 froyo so I did that and I think it worked well, only if I connect with the pc and use to set the sd card to put files on it,

put it out the pc and some widgets don't work anymore that are installed or moved to the sd card? Is this also with a rooted rom or something like that? What can I do more if I root?

Do I need to install a custom rom or root and stay on the standard 2.2 froyo rom (with I am very happy with) and then install apps2sd or something like that?

Do I notice improved performance with a custom rom? Do I lost all my settings and data when I root or install a custom rom?

Oh and if I install a custom rom will it work in my country (Belgium) because I heard about a radio version or something?

Sorry if I ask to much or all the questions are noob but I am totally new to all this and I want to know more about it.

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
There are two A2SD version.

The one, which is integrated in Froyo and which you currently uses, allows you to manually move parts of apps to the SD card, thus freeing up some precious internal memory. However, you shouldn't move widgets or apps which run as a service in the background, else they don't work properly any longer, just as you noticed yourself. Still, with this method you should be able to significantly extent the possible amount of installable apps.

It's also possible that you have an odd app installed which just collects a lot of trash and stroes this on the internal memory as 'data'. With the app 'DiskUsage' you can see how much each app needs and, if necessary and possible clear the data of a specific app.

The other A2SD version is only available if you root your phone and install a custom ROM with A2SD+. This method also requires an EXT3 partition on your SD-Card, next to your normal FAT32 partition. After that all the apps (including widgets), the complete apps, get automatically installed on the EXT3 partition on your SD-Card, only the 'data' which gets produced by the apps over the time, gets stored on the internal phone memory. You don't have to move some apps around, they just get installed on the EXT3 partition, which is 512MB big or larger.

There are two groups of custom ROMs:

#1: It is based on the HTC modified Android source code of, often called Sense ROMs, which you use at the moment. Developers took it, added some features like A2SD+, root, removed some bloatware, tweaked the kernel, ... So it's identical to your currently installed ROM just a bit faster, lighter and has some more features and customizable possibilities.

#2: It's is based on the original Android source code, often called AOSP ROM. (CyanogenMod is one of the most famous ones, DeFroST is based on CM) Those lack all the Sense features (Sense widgets, HTC Sync, comfortable copy paste, ...) but are much lighter, often have much more additional features and the latest tweaks.

Rooting and installing such a custom ROM means you'll have to start from the beginning on. So you'll lose everything. That's why you should backup your contacts, ... to restore them later, if possible.

Best is to install all apps manually again, and do the configuration from scratch. Later, you can easily flash updates of the specific custom roms on top of that.

You can flash two parts. The ROM and the radio. If you flash a custom ROM the radio stays untouched. However, some radios give you better battery life, signal strength, ..., also in Belgium, just take a look at the specific threads about the radios to find the best for you. But it's not necessary to flash the radio. The ROMs will work with your default radio, too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Replay20:
Thank you for your answer and time to explain this! So if I got it right I need to install a custom rom to enable the apps2sd feature. I heard about unrevoked that can root my desire (also if i bought it with 2.2 froyo already on it, no need to downgrade)? but the unrevoked install also an other recovery? Do I void warranty if I install another recovery? It sounds a bit dangerous?

Are there roms that improved performance while recording in 720p? no framedrops etc? or its just the camera from the device is not that good for recoding in HD? Is it worth it to root and install a custom rom?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
If you root your device you will void your warranty but there are ways of unrooting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
an Android device has different sections you can flash, like the rom, radio, recovery, ...

If you use unrevoked it will automatically flash a new recovery, necessary to perform backups, partition the SD card, ...

Yes, you'll void the warranty, but you can flash a HTC original image to unroot, install the default radio and rom, in short, set it back to the defaults.

How well the camera works depends on the rom you use. Take a look at the specific rom, like LeeDroid, and check how well the camera works.

Is it worth? For some yes, for others no.

Because you get limited by the internal memory, it is worth for you to use a custom ROM with a2sd+.
