Probably not a functioning phone. But some of the parts that are real may be worth more than what you paid, like the screen!
[G2 and Desire Z General] FrenicX:
Well if it comes around again.. just get it. For $2 it can be a throw away item. No biggy... like an nrg drink.

It would be a neat toy if nothing else. Maybe even has a spare battery or charger... that's worth 2 plus shipping.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Deusdies:
Actually, more like "Do NOT buy that whatever it is"
[G2 and Desire Z General] adavis159:
the fact that it is playing a video proves that is has the required hardware to play a video (you need at least SOME storage and processing power).

I very much doubt that HTC is going to make a limited run (less than 500 units) of a specially designed motherboard just to stuff into a fake G2 that can only play videos.

It's either a completely fake dummy phone (fake screen, no electronics) or it is a completely normal G2 and should be flashable to a stock rom. However, some parts of the phone (wifi or cell tranciever) may be defective, which would explain why it's a video demo, and not being sold as a normal phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
A television made in 1985 was able to play video and sound, and it had ZERO storage OR processing power.

And FYI: It wouldn't be a special M/B run for just that phone... it would serve ALL dummy phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
It's called a 'smart mock', and no, you cannot flash a ROM on it. Typically these do not even have a battery - they have to be connected to a power source continuously (or they take a couple AAs or something) and simply show a looping video (not much more than an animated GIF, honestly).

And they make more than just 500 or so - tens of thousands. It's supposed to be better than a regular dummy phone, but they're just a royal pain to deal with.

How did you change the density of your LCD? Have you rooted your device? When booting into the bootloader and then selecting recovery, what color is all of the text?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assassin504:
Hi All

After much thinking, reading and youtubing, I decided to take the jump and buy a nexus s yesterday from the carphonewarehouse. :D

Upon opening my nexus s it was obvious the phone had been used (preloaded apps and lots of dust under screen cover) . I took it back and got a replacement pronto.

Turned it on and WOW, the screen is just amazing, WOW, I thought my htc desire omled was good but this is much! :eek:Much! better.

My question:

On my htc desire I was able to upload movies and shows, I’d downloaded, some were hd quality , and play them with no problems without any file conversions etc...

I can’t get the same files to play on my nexus s, :(

Is there any way to play these files (avi, mpegs, divx etc) without converting files as that is very time consuming. Is there any player in android market which may help?

Thanks for your help

PEACE:cool:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assassin504:
I'm guessing there's no way but to convert the files?

If so can any one recommended a reliable program or way to convert the vids?

Peace

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Download one of the following:

- VPlayer

- RockPlayer

- MPlayer

..etc

on the market. Only thing that doesn't work for me are 720p videos, they stutter but DivX standard works fine. Really need the codecs ported to the Nexus S for 720p video playback :|
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assassin504:
Hey thats brill! rockplayer worked first time on my files,

thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
no problem :) rock player is my choice as well, I've always preferred it. VPlayer is a pretty good alternative as well (trial version). But why buy VPlayer, there are many alternatives out there and it doesn't really have features to distinguish itself from others to justify buying it. I'm personally waiting for VLC for Android to come out.

Can't wait for VLC for Android to come out, it should be out early this year (as reported by several websites). Hopefully no delays and will enable 720p playback without stutter on Nexus S (or ported codecs.. one feature i miss from the Galaxy S series)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bretto:
trying to work out if this is only hardware specific to the t959 and not i9000 or if my dock is faulty or samsung/android is not up to speed. maybe i have to do some software tweak??

Got myself the t959 desktop dock and the i9000 fits perfectly, charges and automatically runs the desktop app. all good

my problem is i cant get audio to come out of the docks 3.5mm plug which is usb audio out from i9000. it just keeps coming out the phones speaker no matter what.

the official info from samsung is that froyo 2.2 will allow the audio out of the usb port. at least on the dock advertising and packaging.

info about dock in this link.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D979BEGSTA-features

Ive tried darkys 8.0 rom which is running 2.2.1 i believe and today tried with darkys 8.0 rom and voodoo 5.2 sound optimised kernel but no go on the usb audio out.

any ideas or info would be appreciated.

cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
Maybe the custom kernel has broken the sound through usb support?

Try install a stock kernel (or stock+ voodoo maybe).. at least to rule out the possibility.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] obakesan:
Hi,

Just got this dock too (t929 for Samsung Vibrant) and the line-out seems to be working for me.

My phone is UK - XEU unlocked Samsung Galaxy S, running official Samsung 2.2.1 firmware (XXJPY). (no mods of any kind)

Also using the Desk Home app from Samsung Apps, version reports as 1.0.

The only odd thing (probably due to the app version) is that the sound comes out both the phone speaker and the line-out. In order to use the line-out properly, looks like have to mute the phone sound via the dock app.

I only used the standard music app and have not tried other apps though.

Things I noticed while have a play:

- clicking the "home" button takes you to the desk home app rather than

the home screen.

- while docked, music app Effects won't work

- plugin phone to dock launches desk home app.

- if you Exit desk home, touchwiz home screen is in landscape mode ;)

I will try the app mentioned earlier, as curious to try the speaker config setting.

Overall, am happy, just wish Samsung had this in EU (UK) during phone launch and also had the original dock that was shown with the speakers.

Cheers,

Hi,

same problem for me. I got the Samsung cardock last week but audio out doesn't work. I'm on Darky 9.0 with hardcore K12Q kernel maybe it will work with the stock JPY or with voodoo kernel...I gonna try this tomorrow I think.

If this is a hardware problem i can solve it myself with a little bit creativity and some information about the car mode and how to get in this mode.

with the right resistance you might be able to turn it on manually an than use headphone in and micro usb at the same time so that you doesnt need the original power supply... :cool: :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] daylefmp:
On the Desk Home app, I had to press the "mute" button in order to get the sound to go to the line out. If I exit the Desk Home app, the sound comes back to the internal speaker....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lgkahn:
ok more information.. the version of the app posted via links earlier in the thead does not work right in froyo.. if you set up weather in daily briefing it crashes when running

this modified version (older) i found for froyo does work correctly with weather and it even pops up the app correcly when you plug in the cradle.. in addition it does not let the screen time out and turn off like the other version.. havent tried with music yet but there is a setting to use music out over usb in the app.. i am running jpy 2.2.1 let me know how it works for you..

notif. bar is too bright.. at night dont know a way to hide it.. anyone?

very happy to report that the audio out also works through the dock.. when you goto options and set it to turn off internal speaker...just tried on some amplied speakers and the internal speaker shuts off.. very sweet..

now the only real issue is the innability to hide the notif. bar, and the worry about screen burnin.. maybe there should be an option to set timeout (different than regular timeout) to say xx minutes or something.. with a little moving area you can touch to turn the screen back on.. kinda like a screen saver.

also was supprised that the app pops up authomatically when you plug into the dock even without having the dock plugged in as it is not good to have the battery continually charging.. must be some sort of resister internal in the dock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] brett.darnell:
Thanks heaps for all the effort and replies.

My v1.0 desk home from samsung works as above. will try the attached version as the one from samsung doesnt have internal speaker olff in settings.

EDIT: update both the versions work.

v1.0 available from samsung apps store uses mute for 3.5mm plug audio out.

attached version above use uncheck internal speaker.

both versions need to be running in order for 3.5mm plug to output audio. So guessing this is done via dock home app and any other app can take advantage of it.

start playing thru poweramp then run dock home and your audio comes out 3.5mm plug :)

this is all on i9000 btw and i suspect also t959.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] brett.darnell:
have emailed both poweramp and alarm clock plus to see whether they would mod their apps to work same as desk home.

will see what they come back with but in the mean time thanks for showing me how i can get my music out the 3.5mm plug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ceglia:
I know this thread is a little old, but I too have this dock, and I'm having audio related problems.

I have a Samsung Vibrant (T959), which is designed to work with this dock. I upgraded to Froyo, which again is necessary in order to get the audio to work using the line out port. And I downloaded and installed the Desk Home app. I also muted the speaker.

I get audio, but it's horrible.... nowhere near the quality I get when using the phone's headphone jack. The line out port has almost no bass... I'm not being picky, the difference is DRASTIC.

I sent the unit back to Samsung TWICE, and both replacement units had the same issue.... horrible audio quality using the line out port. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I'm starting to thing my phone may be to blame, but I can't be sure as I don't have a second phone to test the dock with. The thing is.... the audio is great when I use the phone's headphone jack. Maybe when the audio is transmitted via the phone's USB port it degrades in quality?? Is this possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lar1r:
Just got this car mount yesterday.

Using Car Dock Home or Dock Sound Redirector in the market seems to make the music play for me through the car speakers.

Quality seems great - no different than before (and better quality than radio). Using MyUI Delphenium ROM which has the Voodoo sound kernal I believe.

Only problem is that calls don't work (as reported on multiple threads). I have to switch to internal speaker to hear people. Will look around the market for a replacement app...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve19137:
so as i was reading up on rooting the EVO for my dad, i ran across people saying that you should use Amon_RA for a recovery and not Clockwork. i have Clockwork installed as my recovery, but i have used Amon before. that one reason that i use clockwork instead of amon is that i can restore certain images of nandroids (not everything if i dont want to, but just the data or system or boot) and i can access my whole sdcard when flashing a zip. and amon looks kinda funny too.

but what are the pros to amon? i know that two of them are that its built from CM sources and that the features in QtADB when in recovery mode work with amon, whereas they dont with clockwork. so what are the technical pros and cons of each? because i think ive done a good job of explaining the interface pros and cons. thanks for the help :D

PS: the reason why im not just reading the explanations in the evo threads is that i assume that there are seriously major hardware and software differences outside of the htc label on the phones. so yeah.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
The Drama with the AmonRa and CW on the EVO forums was because CW would not always flash Cache and Dalvik Cache correctly (one or the other I dont remember off the top of my head) and would also trash their Wimax RSA keys. Recently Koush updated CW to fix all of those problems so the galaxy is at peace again, though rebels still continue to remember the problems that CW brought so they stick to their beautful AmonRa recovery.

I would say it depends on your phone, seems like CW works fine on the Hero CDMA so it should be fine. I came from the Droid Eris where it was known that CW would completely Brick some of our phones :eek:

Now I have a Droid1 where CW works magically, like I said, I guess it would depend on the phone :) Hope this helps.

Hey guys.... Thanks to a member here at XDA, Krylon360, I have gotten my hands on the unreleased 2.2.1 Espresso OTA and so as usual my first stop in is to provide the new radio update while I sort the patches out and get you guys a stock rooted ROM... So without further chit chat as I got some work ahead of me, heres the new radio update taking baseband to 7.15.35.16.... Havent noticed much change although I have also tested nothing speedwise tbh so I will let you all report back on these things.... Grab the radio update here or here and let me know of any improvements or even negative effects it has caused with data, battery life, wifi, etc.... A CR_Mod stock., rooted OTA will follow shortly and you guys can get your much awaited 2.2.1 Froyo Espresso on early since TMO wants to lag..... Have fun... CR

PS: I did this with an update script rather than an updater script as it was easiest in windows which Im on for the moment... I will convert to an updater script in a little while. What does this mean you ask? It means any of you who have flashed the unsupported as of yet CWM 3.0+ rec images that are floating around will not be able to flash the radio. To fix this, use rom manager to reflash the current supported CWM rec, flash the radio, and if you must, reflash the CWM 3.0+ rec in fastboot.
