Yes i have, and on devices i have owned. The GPS on a lot of HTC winmo phones (Diamond, Touch Pro, TP2, Topaz) has about a second worth of delay. It was worked on quite a bit with no fix. Who says people don't want quality GPS on their handsets? I've had multiple pms asking about it so I know I'm not the only one.
[Captivate Accessories] netnerd:
duh! That's cus Samsung GPS is garbage! People want a GPS that works, not Samsung garbage that telling the GPS navigation that u 2 blocks away and giving all the wrong turns!

samsung car dock

everything android website has the car dock for $34.49

Go to 'Store' when you're on the site.

CORRECTION: $36.49

First one is a fake photoshop. "blocky" section has the mini usb connector. Once you place the phone in the mount, "blocky" section slides right and physically connects to the phone.

also, I am on Cog 2.3b6 and the audio line-out does not work. However, there is a hole at the back of the mount and it does not block the speaker.

I have had the captivate for awhile and didnt use the gps much in my own state but recently went on vacation to California and it took everything in me not to throw my captivate out the window.
[Captivate Accessories] haojan:
After resetting my phone, I noticed improvements in my GPS. It was still slow to lock but was not bad for destination driving (highway or open road)

Recently, I flashed a custom ROM (Darky's) and I noticed phenomenal reception and GPS. I get a lock almost immediately pulling up maps or navigation (2 sec max). It showed my location and direction spot on as I am driving around downtown Chicago (btw I know retail GPS units even have problems with lock around downtown). I lost GPS signal as I went underground but as soon as I drove out into the open (it took maybe 5 sec) for the navigation to lock back. I am definitely loving it.
[Captivate Accessories] OVCArchion:
I received my new dock today, the fit is very solid, looks nice. Not blocky really. The dock activates the Google Car Home app automotically if you have it installed. Not the output does not work with the leaked 2.2.1 roms. I may try it out tomorrow on the way to work. Funny that they actually call it a Vehicle Navigtion Mount...lol. The wording in the instructions about 2.2 was done very carefully to avoid lawsuits it seems.
[Captivate Accessories] jeffro7172:
I got mine from newegg today too. I have a glass desk at work so can easily make it a desk dock (have another on the way just so I can)

I've got Axura running on my phone and when in the dock, the phone application force closes, so for right now I can't dock it properly and make phone calls. The other option you have with the dock is to flip it around so the base doesn't plug in the usb and puts the connections on the other side. The cradle will still hold and you can use the jacks on the top of the phone. You have to take off the covers for the phone to be in the dock. The leaked froyo roms don't make the built in speaker out work either. Still a nice dock in my opinion and I did place an order for another one. It also comes with the car charging cable if you need one of those.

Modified Samsung car dock

OK i purchased the Samsung car dock and i really liked it except that the audio jack does not work. So in true XDA form i got out my handy dandy screwdriver and removed the power plug and port from the dock. now i can simplay plug in the power cord and audio plug and im good to go.
[Captivate Accessories] Reefermattness:
Oh man I LOVE this car dock. :)

It is solid, very quality plastic, and very secure. The way the charger clicks into the phone is brilliant, and quite possibly the easiest it has ever been to get a charger into my phone. (I feel like im always fumbling with the cable chargers) As stated before 3.5 audio out does not work yet, but I have BT audio in my car, so I wasn't counting on it to begin with.

Yup

No 3.5 audio

I use 3.5 audio a lot, for Navigation announcements and also for playing music in my car. I guess I will not go for this mount, although I'm tempted :D
[Captivate Accessories] loserskater:
Got this mount and it's great! Fits the phone perfect and the usb connection is impressively smooth. I've been talking to xcal about the audio over usb, but unfortunately everything I've tried still comes through the speaker. He hasn't done any tweaking of anything yet, but I'm hoping that he'll put this high on his priority list.
[Captivate Accessories] Johnston212:
Anyone know if any of DG's ROMs will work? This is the only car dock I want for my Captivate. I hate generics! But I need the audio out option as well.
[Captivate Accessories] Reefermattness:
NONE of the current ROMs work for audio out, and probably wont until the real 2.2 is released. I get "noise" with the new cognition 3.0 but its definitely not music. :)
[Captivate Accessories] Mantu13:
Is this site actually reputable? O.o if so, I think I'll be ordering one.
[Captivate Accessories] ihalatci:
I saw in some other forum that it works with 2.41. Not tested my self and not sure if you want to roll back that far!

I have tried 2.3b6-8 and none of them work. I'll try 3.01 tonight.
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
Do any of you actually tested with stock JI6 leak instead of custom ROM? Some say the USB audio works with stock 2.2 ROM (must be captivate ROM).

Mine is on the way and I'm still running JI6 stock. I guess we will find it out soon.
[Captivate Accessories] tysj:
I recall my audio out on my dock worked with an old Cognition build (early November build). Since I've moved to i9000 based ROMs, it has stopped working.
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
Yeah, I also heard none of the i9000 ROM works.
[Captivate Accessories] jtsjazz:
I am running Perception build 9, and both bluetooth and wired audio work perfectly (listening as well as speaking). Incidentally, this ROM has also afforded me the best GPS response and accuracy to date. I have tried everything and almost every ROM I could get my hands on, but have stopped as this one is so stable and quick with very usable GPS. That being said, this dock is what I have been looking for, and ordering right now.
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
So you have no idea whether or not your favorite ROM enables USB audio on the car dock? In case you didn't know, there is no way to plug in the wired audio if you use the dock. BT or USB audio is your only choice.
[Captivate Accessories] jtsjazz:
You're right, i have no idea, as i've never used a dock. I was not aware that those were the options. Just my .02...
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
Just to clearify, either the Car Dock or Desk Dock from Samsung use USB port to route out audio because the headset port is physically blocked. It requires official Froyo 2.2 ROM to enable the USB audio feature.

So, the question here is which ROM you use enables such USB audio?
[Captivate Accessories] OVCArchion:
Apparently using a Captivate ROM, like Cognition 2.3.b8 will work for the desktop dock when used with the deskhome.apk and musicplayer.apk from 2.3b2, but it wont do anything with my car dock. I can get a pop from the speakers when I plug it in, like an amp coming on, but no dice.
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
Just test mine with JI6 ROM. It detected car dock mode. But it audio is not routed out of the USB port. So, I guess we have to wait for official 2.2 ROM still.
[Captivate Accessories] Merlin_reloaded:
How snug-fitting is the dock? If someone could post a pic that'd be great.
[Captivate Accessories] lospulpo:
Are you saying you can rotate the dock so that it fits the phone with the audio and usb jacks exposed?

Speaking of that.. anyone with the dock, can the phone be rotated from landscape to portrait while locked in the dock?
[Captivate Accessories] foxbat121:
It has a blot and u-joint. You losen the bolt and can rotate/tilt it any way you want.

To those hoping to use this dock to help GPS reception and performance, forget about it. It degrades GPS signal rather significantly.

Also found something odd with my JI6 2.2 ROM: Phone app FCs in car dock mode but home screen now can rotate to landscape mode.

Let's hope the final 2.2 release is much better.
[Captivate Accessories] mipakr:
I don't have the ability to post images or links yet (i don't think) but I absolutely love this car mount kit. I even use it at the office stuck to my desk!
[Captivate Accessories] GAMacky:
The dock holds the phone in place with identical shaped clip-in pieces at the four corners. Then you slide the USB charger block into the USB port for charging. The block slides and plugs smoothly into the USB port. That's what made this dock so worth it. It is that block that blocks the audio port. But you can clip the phone in there at 180 degrees with the USB and audio ports pointed toward the opposite side from the dock's usb charging block, thus leaving the USB port and audio port exposed. But you can't use the USB charging block as it's now sitting at the bottom of the phone if in portrait mode, you'll have to manually plug in the USB charger, which we all know that it's not a smooth procedure.
[Captivate Accessories] GAMacky:
It's a very snug fit at the 4 corners. If you have any kind of case, you'll need to remove the case. I use a vinyl skin and it fits just fine.
[Captivate Accessories] lospulpo:
Thank you. This is exactly what I was wondering. Ordered from newegg and can't wait for it to arrive. I'll post some pictures.

[Captivate Accessories] n2deep3d:
I recently purchsed this dock and it seems to be working okay so far. I am currently running Cognition 3.04 with the xcalibur kernel to partially fix the audio output.

The mount fits good and is sturdy. To use the audio out you have to be on 2.2 and currently you have to have the xcal kernel. Also for the audio to work correctly you have to have the car dock running and you have to have the speaker symbol muted. I was able to play Pandora and my music just fine while I had the dock running (Pandora in the background). If you try and run sound without the dock running it has zero bass, due to some glitch in the kernel, but it does work.

So far I have been very happy with it.
[Captivate Accessories] OVCArchion:
Xcals kernel allows all apps to use the audio, not just the samsung car app. I use the google home app. You really dont even need a car app, the kernel passes it through automatically.
[Captivate Accessories] n2deep3d:
The problem is the sound is noticeably different when playing without the dock running. As a test just load up Pandora, then load up the dock and mute the speaker key and it will be a huge difference in sound. In the development thread it has been noted. I imagine the nav would be ok, but for music it is bugged but workable.
[Captivate Accessories] mipakr:
By "Google Home App" do you mean "Google Car Home App?" or is there a different one?
[Captivate Accessories] nlancaster:
I am using the Firebird v2 1.0 kernal and audio works with the car and desk docks from any application.

One problem is that it also takes the alarm audio and if you do not have speakers plugged in you will not hear them.

Edit: After downloading Galaxy Tuner, useing the EQ in that app I can make it sound much better, but still sounds much worse then thru the headphone jack. any else find a solution?

I can't decide if I want this or if I just want to buy a new radio with built-in bluetooth.

I need to a get a new radio either way. If I get this dock, I could just get a radio with the front aux in. Or I could just get a radio with bluetooth and not have any wires.
[Captivate Accessories] ozone777:
Personally, I prefer bluetooth...less wires and it will work with any device that supports it.

Get the radio with bluetooth even if you don't plan on using that feature right away.

At least it will be there if you ever decide you need it.

No Bass with dock

Doc + Stock 2.2 = silence

I have the Samsung Car Dock and a Captivate running the stock 2.2. When I connect to the dock I hear audio "engage" but never comes out through the car speakers. I have xcal's fix for audio redirecting but it is sometimes hit or miss.

I actually called AT&T to complain about it (the dock says audio will work with 2.2, my phone has 2.2, and the audio does not work). A warranty replacement technician got Samsung on the phone and confirmed that it is a problem and will be fixed with 2.2.1!!! However, there is no known release date from Samsung and no idea how long it will take AT&T to let us in on it once its out.

I know most of us here would rather run custom ROMS - for the few that want the stock rom's this sucks - and its good to know. The sequence seems to be key, even with xcal's fix, Car Dock needs to be running, the speaker needs to be muted and nothing should be playing prior to "dock".

I'm sure you can find similar reports - just thought I would share here.
[Captivate Accessories] HL_H:
I am running stock 2.2. unrooted. I seem to have the same problem. the aux jack does not work. the phone will continue to use the phone speakers for any sort of sound. I thought I needed to enable dock aux out or something until i saw your post.

[Q] battery getting really hot (55 C)while in dock???

Does anyone experience the battery getting really hot when the cappy is in the dock and charging??? Mines going up like 52-55 C.... (bluetooth on, navi on) My phone never was this hot before, even when I put it on stability test for about 45min. (I totally fotgot about it....:o) It was like 45C....I need to get a replacement if I'm the only one with this issue...

Thank you .....
[Captivate Accessories] loserskater:
It gets really hot for me too, but only because the sun shines on the dock all day and then directly on the phone when it's docked. In my case it doesn't have anything to do with what the phone is doing but rather the fact that it's in direct sunlight. In the mornings and at night it's perfectly fine
[Captivate Accessories] minlee85:
Well, I tested it without plug the charger....and do the same thing.. it didn't even go up to 40C... I think there's something wrong with the charger.... I'm going to get a replacement... Thank you for your reply, though... I heard that sunlight is pretty hot in CA....LOL..
[Captivate Accessories] breley:
Interesting. I have a similar problem with mine getting very hot.

I have noticed however that my dock does not appear to supply power to the phone. The cable works fine...if I plug this in directly to the phone I see it charge, but if I plug it into the dock, there is no charging. So I can't help but wonder if when using it out driving that the battery heats up as more power is drawn by the use of nav/gps/bluetooth/cell strength instead of from the car charger. Clearly there's something amiss with the dock power supply.

I believe that is something taken care of at the kernel level, so perhaps flashing a new kernel may get call audio through the headphone jack.

After a long time of trying to get three stars on all levels of Angry Birds, I had given up. I tried to find an easy way to get three stars on the levels, but when I googled it, the only results were videos showing how to get three stars. Even after watching the videos I could not get a few. So, I decided to open root explorer and find where Angry Birds keeps track of the high scores. After about ten minutes, I was able to edit the highscores.lua (the Angry Birds high scores file) and get three stars on all of the levels and unlock the golden eggs!

This is a tutorial of how I did it. You should not continue unless you have beaten all levels. You should not do this if you have not tried to get three stars. Also, this tutorial requires a minimal knowledge of adb and the terminal. YOU MUST HAVE ADB SET UP.

1. first connect your phone to your computer and open terminal/cmd (command prompt)

2. cd to your desktop

cd Desktop

3. Now you are going to pull the highscores.lua file.

adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/highscores.lua

4. You should now have a file called highscores.lua on your desktop.

5. Rename this file to highscores_backup.lua

6. Pull the highscores.lua file again.

adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/highscores.lua

7. Open the highscores.lua file using notepad/TextEdit/gedit only.

8. Open Angry Birds and go to a level that you do not have three stars on.

9. Remember the high score you got on that level.

10. In notepad/TextEdit/gedit use control+f (command+f on mac) to find the high score for the level that you cannot get three stars on.

For example, on level 2-8, I have 2 stars. It should look something like this:

Level21 = {
completed = true,
birds = 3,
score = 48840,
lowScore = 45490,

}

This block of code represents one level. "Level21" corresponds to 2-8. "completed" can be true or false. Edit this to say if a level has been completed. "birds" is the number of birds you used to complete the level. "score" is your high score for that level. "lowScore" is your low score for that level. In order to change the number of stars, you need to change birds and score. Birds should always be greater than 0 and lowScore should always be less than or equal to score. In this case, I would make birds 2 and score 58840. Make sure that the number of birds corresponds to that level.

11. After editing the file, push it back to your phone.

adb push highscores.lua /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/

Remember that when you push/pull a file it is overwritten.

Also, use the up arrow to cycle through recently used commands in the terminal.

12. Close and kill Angry Birds using a task killer or the built in CM task killer. This will make the game recheck the file.

Repeat steps 6 - 12 until you have 3 stars in all levels.

This also works with Angry Birds Seasons. Just replace com.rovio.angrybirds in your commands with com.rovio.angrybirdsseasons.

Be sure to share this tutorial with others who cannot get three stars on a level and remember to thank if this helped you!
