I know that the Samsung Galaxy is DNLA capable with a compatible telly for streaming movies, etc but I've also seen videos online of a TV Out function on the Galaxy S via the 3.5mm port on the phone but I was wondering if anyone can confirm this and has used it?
Yeah I bought a cable for the TV-out, it's not the prettiest picture on a HDTV as it's composite, but it is fine if you are in a hotel and want to watch a film or surf the internet from your phone. It's not good for gaming as there's some lag.
Do you think it would work ok for like a SNES Emulator?

From where did you purchase the cable please?
A link would be ideal.

Many thanks.
Do you know if this is the same link that Tachikoma_kun purchased from?
Reason I ask is I note Tachikoma_kun is in the UK the same as I and I'd like to hear if he purchased from either a UK retailer or on Ebay.co.uk.

I bought mine from eBay.co.uk from a seller called "Superetrader", it was a CA-75U cable for Nokia N95-N96-N97, etc. It cost £1.94 including delivery.
This is the one that I bought:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400136001596
The seller also does a great pull-up leather case for the SGS for the vast sum of £2.99 inc postage which I bought at the same time.

Probably not, you might be able to get a VNC client on the phone and view it on a computer, but I doubt you can output HDMI over the USB port as you would have to design the hardware especially for that, and it would be a listed feature.
The cables exist... but probably not compatible with Galaxy S...
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...l&subsubtype=data-cables-kits&tab=accFeatures
1. We need to know whether the hardware is capable.
2. If its hardware capable, then hopefully someone can build the software. If not... then we are stuck with composite lols.
I tried searching a bit, found a lead to some Japanese boards. So i opened a thread in 2 boards.
The guys over in DoCoMo boards in Japan and futaba/2ch claim it to work.
On the other hand, those guys are master trolls, i don't know if it would be wise to trust their word on this.
So i'd wait a bit more, but it at least gives some hope for it to be compatible.
Do remember that we didn't even know about the composite TVOUT when the device was launched.

Thanks guys.
Yes, I have purchased from SuperETrader before and did not have any problems with them then.
I'll order one in the next few days when I return home.

You may not have but I got it from the manual a few weeks before it was launched.
Well, you had the manual before the launch, i didn't...
Anyway, this is wierd. I searched a bit on some sites, and tried to filter down everything to samsung phones that support HDMI.
No results. By specs, none of samsung's phones support HDMI.
So why the hell does this product exist, and why does it say on the product page
"by connecting your compatible SAMSUNG phone"
But... no phones is compatible, by official specs.
You confuse me, Samsung, you seriously do.

Do Samsung themselves claim HDMI support on the phone?
It can send files via DLNA, and you can connect it to anything that can display an input from a composite connection.
I don't see why you are so angry, other than the fact you assumed it would allow HDMI.
Agreed... there is no mention and never has been mention of any HDMI connection.

He's not that angry, though it's hard to judge someone's intent from some text... and anyhow, he's not stressed that the galaxy s doesn't support HDMI out, he's confused as to why Samsung appear to have a cable on the market for which no Samsung phone on the market appears to have a use for, let alone the Galaxy.

The way i put it down was a bit off, i'm not even a bit angry. there's no reason for me to be. I bought this device regardless of HDMI support.
I'm just very confused, as SquidgyB says.
It's very odd that such a cable exists if there isn't a single product that supports it, supposedly.
Though i didn't think for a moment i'll get HDMI support from this phone (and actually, when i bought it i thought DLNA was the only way i can get a video output, so even the 3.5 composite was a pleasent suprise), i'd be happy if it turns out to support it.
I think we will all be.

You could buy the official guide for Half Life on the Dreamcast from Amazon. A game that never made it to release.
Would someone please tell me what is supposed to be included in the Elocity 7 box when purchased?
Is it supposed to include a USB to USB cable? If not, how is it supposed to be connected to our computer (if necessary)?
I saw the following and wonder if if is correct (it doesn't mention a USB cable):
What is in the box:
eLocity™ 7-Inch Internet, Tablet with 4GB internal memory, rechargeable lithium polymer battery, user manual and safety guide, warranty card and AC adaptor with power cord.
Thank you.
Bobby
That's all folks!!!
Yup, that was all that was in the box. I actually had a screen protector in my box, but it got ruined when I tried to remove the tape from it. It was taped to the A7 to hold it.
I bought 5 bluetooth dongles from eBay - only 2 bucks each - and plugged them into my computers. I can easily transfer files now between all computers and the A7 - and my phones now - and each other.
Really there was nothing else in there.
I did buy a case....the USAGear neoprene black one. Bought it on Amazon. On sale now for about 13 bucks. Fits almost perfect. It could be just a touch longer, but looks good.
Make sure you do the upgrade to latest firmware from website, then Dexters mod 1.41 - makes it a great machine!
I have a bluetooth gps receiver coming - have heard they work with the A7.

Thanks.
What firmware update are you referring to?
I already have PBJ8000.2.0.0133.
(I'm personally not too 'fond' of the updates because they keep replacing apps I previous removed. And I understand every future update will do the same.)
The A7 need a dedicated dev to work on it, thanks Dexter but your legion is to motorola, was using Dexter mod but went back to the stock rom, have less issue with stock than with Dexter mod..don't have to reinsert SD or USB and It show the correct SD card size ..
Firmware update
I believe the latest firmware update is 2.2
It was out in February - i think the 24th, but not sure.
Anyway, i did install the latest firmware, then in order to get the Market place app, I "upgraded" to Dexters mod 1.41 so I could install almost any app from marketplace.

i never seen sdcard (external) reported in stock rom reported correctly or even found? i know it mounts it at /storage/sdcard-disk0 but thats it, for previous releases.. can you tell me how you see it better or do you actually mean internal storage, because "correct sdcard size" is fine here too?
btw(little OT),
for those using stock and want all the new gameloft HD games running, you cannot use stock, as /storage is not supported, it reports "no free space".
if you want to use the usb cable, you still need to be able to switch between host/device, which is not working in our firmware...
you can manually switch but the OS do not acknowledge it correctly.

The newbie on his grandmothers account is right.
He is naming the fw version
2.2 is the android OS version.
Not directly related.
Guess with dextermod were running android 1.41 ? Lol
Ya im looking forward to dexterbread 2.3 and maybe if were lucky even
dextercomb 3.0 LOL!
And in back to the topic,you only received the other accessories if you ordered
your tablet off of Amazon back when it first came out.It was a bonus package,
the only items in the box now are tablet with battery,power cord screen protector
and the paper work.

as no folio owners read here, i can tell you i seen 3.0 on my toshiba folio, very bad for now(soft egl), but its work in progress. but of course, its because we had part of the kernel source available, and im not alone on this at all. but kernel source helps when board changes are needed...

I can remember having some of the same problems with the droid 1 in the beginning but it got worked out and I am still using it as my main phone running gingerbread and can do anything that the newer phones can do and a lot of the things they cant.The ones of us that love this tablet for what it is and can understand even the basics will get a long and happy life out of the A7.

checked it already and its not complete, for compile.. and no details on how to actually making it compile..
tried to copy it on top of 2.6.36.3 but some scripts were missing, so its nice, but not really useful.
anyways A7 has different hardware, and is similar to the Harmony board (called naz10) where Asus the much newer Whistler board for their kit, which has more video mem and some other functions on the board we dont have here..
similar but not quite the same when you get technical.

Alicez, you are right about the firmware. I was mistaken on that one. Looks like you have the latest.
By now you are probably trying to find a case to put it in? I found a great one that just barely fits at amazon.com. It is made by USAgear - neoprene black.
Just checked NCS and guess what!!! Software Version:3045.0000.1328.2046 Downloading now
Very exciting! Please follow up with your findings

Will do!!! NCS showing current(stock) software out of date. Unfortunately I have to go to work and the package is 4.12 GB. Taking forever!!! haha... If someone gets this first please let us all know your findings.
Fantastic news! This is indeed GDR2/Amber! Screenshots below, let me know if anyone wants to see/know anything else
EDIT: This also allows you to set the screen time out up to 30 minutes (no more 5 minute nonsense)
EDIT 2: And group MMS is back!
YEa but, No FM radio
Has anyone actually downloaded the ffu? I'm wondering if its just turned off in the registry, just needs a SMALL tweak to turn it back on.
It seems to be both software disabled and hardware unable.
From the looks of it Nokia/VZW did not run the wire from the chipset to the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Somewhat confirmed at http community.verizonwireless.com/thread/803729
I hope someone can confirm this with an actual disassembly of a normal 92x and the 928.

What I meant that the response was the easiest to assume; while that's most likely not true. Check my WP8 FM thread.
I just found out about it, the dev community seems very small and even the users are few, how come? The phone seems great, specs and price are great especially for Europe where phones generally cost a lot more than in the US.
because it's fresh mint brand, there is still no image
because it's using so little adv budget , and marketing technique not great
and in my country, it also have a goverment pass problem while still in preorder time (it is using fake authorisation id from other phone, and get spread all over the country by media)

It uses the generic google USB driver.
For an adb connection though you have to download the USB 3 compatible version of adb from my Androidfilehost hardware folder.

I got no idea why the international branch doesn't provide any information or tools, but that is why I mirrored the tools.
Hi all,
So I basically bought fake Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - was confirmed by Samsung service centre. Firs time in my life is a victum of scam :crying: All reported to police etc. but the problem remains - I need this phone for work. In particular, I need to use the app called "Samsung Gear 360" it works with Samsung 360 camera. The fake one has "Android 6.0.1" which does not support the app.
Question: is there a way to make the fake one to support the app? Or can I update Android 7 to this fake Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge? so I can work untill I can buy the genuine one.
Thanks a lot in advance!
thats probably different phone that looks like s7.
see what you have in model info?

Unlikely I'm afraid as it would rely heavily on Samsung framework and services, which your device is probably lacking

Not being rude, but I think there is a communication gap here. Firstly you seem to hand misinterpreted his initial post and now you are making no sense at all...
ok, so point him just 1 rom that he can flash if you are so helpful and intelligent.
answer to 1st post is:
no, you cant flash, because you dont know whats inside your phone, it could be mediatek, qualcom or whatever chinese put in.
so no app for this device
