I'm not thrilled about this. I bought the Nokia CA-75 cable, plugged it in, then realized that the TV out option was missing. LAME.

I won't hold my breath for the TV out feature. The phone never said it had it or would have TV out. If it's that important you could get the captivate for AT&T. I left At&T service is bad in L.A. since the iPhone came out.

Im gunna guess itll be enabled with the 2.2 update when we get the real touchwiz 3.0
thats just a guess though

I would guess no. Samsung and Spint have said on the record they are aiming for Froyo in Nov-Dec. The consortium to go with HDMI our vi micro usb is hoping for first q 2011 (read march earliest).
Epic has many advantages, but is not a good multimedia export choice IMHO.

How do you figure that? Galaxy S devices play more video codecs than any other Android device on the market including .mkv file and even display the subtitles when embedded. In fact the only thing it seems to not be able to do is 5.1 sound in an mkv file (it does them in xvid, divx and avi though.)
Someone mentioned that they were able to play a 1080p file on it. I haven't tried that one myself but 720 certainly works. I personally want the NTSC video out capability very much and hope someone gets the source to enable it in a future update or ROM or whatever.

By embedded do you mean if they are burned onto the video? Because any device will play subtitles like that. The epic does not play most if any subtitles natively. If someone wants to really play subtitles it will require mvideoplayer from the market.
Man, I didn't realize that 5.1 audio was supported in an avi I am gonna have to give that a try. AAC audio?

Yep. According to some other forums. About the subtitles, you are correct that mvideoplayer (which seems to be the only one) will play the subtitles in the mkv files. BUT....I can't find anything to play the 5.1 sound. Which is really disappointing because if I can pull most of my files at around 2gb at 720p (has to be less than 4gb because of the FAT32 size limitation) they still have 5.1 ... so I get NO sound. I have to then stereo downmix I guess to fix this..but who wants to convert every single video file just to play on a phone. Also, I want to output this..but I can't of course because TV out is missing...until Touchwiz 3.0 is enabled hopefully.
My next quest is to get USB OTG working (USB host), but I would still be limited by the Fat32 file system.

[REQ] Galaxy S Rom

I would like to request devs to port a Galaxy S rom to Nexus S because of the media codec support and the touchwiz interface.
The Touchwiz UI alone is not enough because it misses all the useful additions that Samsung integrated into the ROM.

Buying a galaxy would be the best solution?

Dude it cost me a fortune to buy my mum a "star" god knows how much a galaxy will be!

I know what you mean but I think a galaxy rom would be a big downgrade on nexus....no gingerbread

Porting a galaxy s rom to the nexus s would be extremely hard if not impossible.
As the galaxy s runs android 2.2.
But since its the same hardware there is a possibility.

Who needs all them codecs when u can convert videos with Handbrake that work perfectly on the Nexus S.

I second this... most of you probably never owned a galaxy s phone to even realize what you're missing
But judging by the lack of development here and the fact they moved this to general were most devs to even look
i doubt it will happen

you cant convert a video to get same quality unless you want to take up 12 gigs for an MP4 ive spent way too much time doing this and eventually gave up

the only thing I miss about my vibrant is the camera options and the ability to record in 720p. It was probably the best quality I ever seen for a video camera on a cell phone. Besides that, nexus s, owns

yup loved the touch focus
cant do 720p thanks to hardware limitation blame Google becasue they wanted to implement NFC crap the pretty much replaced the HD chip and Micro SD slot area.
But yea no doubt NS still better phone just wish we could utilize it for what its worth

I'm running CM and I do miss some things. Codecs, HW accelerated browser, touchwiz, swype... But it's not worth the crap that it comes with. RFS lag and flaky lagfixes, bloatware that's hardwired into the framework, interface lag (no JIT, makes a huge difference). Basically it's not a good tradeoff. Once I have voodoo sound and swype back I'll forget Samsung ROMS.

The movies I've converted look good enough. Nothing over 2gb works but think about it......its a phone not a home entertainment system. It works great as a portable device. If I want to watch something in full HD there are better ways than a 4 inch screen.
Maybe when the new Vibrant 4g gets a 2.3 update

Instead of reading previous posts and realizing why it hasn't been ported yet.
But hey, if all of you want it so bad why don't you learn to code for android and port it yourself?

64GB Micro SD-Cards out!

I'm sure it'll be expensive as hell when it first arrives, but KingMax is releasing a 64GB Micro SD-Card.
There shouldn't be any compatibility issues, since I'd be formatting that as ext4 for use in my Xoom anyway.

Thought the max for compatibility was 32GB.

Pretty sure that's just a filesystem issue with FAT; since I'll be formatting as ext4 that won't be an issue unless the kernel itself can't issue the block commands, and that's something that's readily fixed.

WOW. Thus, I will have 96 GB tablet. Whoohoo.

Oh, I've been waiting for this!
Once it's tested, I'll get the Sandisk one.

Out of curiousity, what will you use the 96gb for?

IOW, oh, I'm sure we'll think of something!

Hmmm... I am not sure the stability of handling 64GB since it was stated to support up to 32 GB.
I have a dell streak 7 which say supporting it up to 32GB, but my system got unstable whenver I got my SDCard in for a while. (only for a while, not immediately it will be unstable).
It restarts randomly and dead on sleep when I have the SDCard on. I tried to go back to stock on roms and it still happened until I gave up and took out the sdcard.
Based on this experience, I would rather think Android system's capability of handling large external SDCard is not perfect/stable. I may just hold a cautious but certainly happy view on this news =)

... and as a kernel dev, I think you just had a crap SD-Card

The device should handle any card regardless of size really, even without ext4 (the volume limit of FAT is something like 2Tb).
I read somewhere that Android didn't support ext4 on SD card without a custom kernel, is this correct? Seems odd considering the kernel must have ext4 support to read/write to the internal filesystems.

32 GB is usually mentioned by any device because that's the largest size that was actually tested with. Once they validate that 64 GB cards work (which they probably will), they will probably update the official specs.
Just a validation thing.

Yeah, there's probably a misunderstanding somewhere in what was written or read. For all intents and purposes, our internal storage (which has two filesystems on ext) is not much more electrically than a soldered-in SD-Card.

Nice quotes. I'm just curious, no need to flame. (96gb wouldn't do much for me; too much for basic stuff, but too little to hold everything. It would be a storage shuffling nightmare for me. I'm curious how people use their tablets).

And, yes it "on record" only supports up to 32gb, but thats only bc nothing higher was around at the time to test with.

Speaking of but on a different subject; can I hook up a say 500gb external harddrive to the xoom?
Also is their anyway to make it so it can handle the same internet speed as a laptop.

[Q] question on the iconia A500

hi
i thinking about buying the iconia for the use of trandfering pictures from camera to hard drive and for internet ,now i have netbook and i want it instead of him.

is it possible to connect him to the tab and to get to the internet with him?
4)is the thing that it have 1gb ram is bed for it?because i have nexus one and when i installed there many games so the ram memory run's low...so is it like these here?
5)it have rom's or something like it that i don't get at the back if acer will not update it?

There's a guide written by me here that teaches you how to transcode movies and videos with Handbrake to suitable format, or you can install MX Player or Diceplayer.

A501 is the same as A500 except that it has 3G which the A500 doesn't have.

first thenk you for the answer..
the thing with the stick is very importent to me so if you can check it i will be glad also the thing with the card reader (i understand that you have it)
Kal-El isn't released yet but maybe it good to wait for him that i ask..
about the movies..if i can just install app to see them it's great!just to look the movies from the camera
also the a500 and 501 ..if i can connect via the usb stick it doesn't meater for me
