I posted this over at AndroidForums on the Vibrant board. I figured I would post it here too.
No, you won't be able to use this everywhere. (Unless you have a portable TV).
1. Connect your Galaxy S to a TV/monitor/etc. using these:
Amazon.com: Microsoft Zune 30GB, 80GB, 4GB, 8GB AV ( Audio Video ) RCA Cable - 4.5 Feet: Electronics
2. Go into options and turn TV Out on.
3. Go into your Video chat app. Place the phone backwards so the regular camera is facing you.
4. You can now look at the TV/Monitor to see who you are talking to while they can see you because your camera is facing you.
Perhaps you thought of this, maybe you didn't. I did it this afternoon. It's fun!
haha clever, didn't think of that.
Very clever indeed.

Search "Droidcam Wireless Webcam" in the Market. There are others as well but this one has the best reviews I believe.

Hey, hey, hey. Be nice. Some people don't bring their laptops with them everywhere. I always have my phone and TV Out A/V wire with me.
niceeeeeee idea.
Call this guy "MacGyver".....Brilliant!
Jeez, the FFC mod is probably less trouble and less expensive, too. Taking apart a Vibrant isn't exactly rocket surgery - the parts either clip on or are attached with a small cable + clip. A novice could do it in five minutes, ten with extreme care. Hardly "ripping apart", and you can even find complete teardown videos on YouTube. Even the camera itself is trivial to install - no soldering or special tools required, save some cheap solvent to remove the paint.
But hey, for those who can't he bothered this is certainly a viable, if inconvenient solution.
Good idea
I ll give it a try

It's also the best solution for people who do not wanna VOID THEIR WARRANTY. LoL.
thats just like a webcam very different from the front facing camera, the whole point of having a front facing camera is we can video chat anywhere.
Great idea! Thanks!
Any tips on the best app to use for video chat? I'm new to Android. I saw qik (sucks.. for me anyway) and knocking live..

Hello, i was hoping to get some advice with this choice i have.
I need a device to replace my old/dead 15" laptop. Bought years ago for £400, pretty weak AMD processor and integrated graphics i use it for browsing and entertainment purposes. Basically, facebook, news and watching films. It does rarely get used for work, mainly typing out a few documents and a quick spreadsheet if i am trying to work out some finances. Things i am confident polaris office can handle. I do also use the HDMI out when i want to play a film on a big TV, however usually standard def or occasionally 720p
I am in the military so i move about a lot! My current laptop last around 2 hours on a charge so i get very bored on an 18 hour flight as you might expect! I have a SGS II so i already have a nice catalogue of apps. So my question to you, owners of shiney eee pads now that the glaze of new ownership may have left some of you, do you think your device could replace a laptop for someone like me?
Can it output via HDMI port without making you tear your hair out?
How often do you have to reach for a windows device because your tablet/dock fails?
Does it power your external hard drives well enough?
If i bought one, it would be my only mobile device, is it up to functioning on its own?
Do the bugs ruin the experience?
Thank you kindly!
hurry up and get one, it will be perfect for you.
Yes to all your questions and no for the last.
You will love the battery life of the tablet + dock
Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 usando Tapatalk
Yes, it seems to be perfect with the keyboard, especially with the looong lasting batteries
But read the forum about the office ... some people don't like it ... and check out how to print with this baby ... I haven't a clue how, because I use Windows for that.
And don't worry too much about bugs ... I would be more worried about getting a TF without too much light bleeding in the display.

I bought my TF to replace a defunct laptop and would never go back to a laptop now. I originally bought an expensive laptop with alot of memory for playing games and as with most high end laptops it never got used for anything other than web, emails, documents and the occasional video. The ASUS can handle all this and much much more. Facebook is handled easily either through the FaceBook app or on the browser (I use the latest Opera Mobile which works very well), Pulse (free on the Market) handles News beautifully on a Tablet and Movies look very nice. I have never used it to watch high def movies but im sure it will play 720P fine as long as the movie is encoded correctly and the codec is supported on the Video Player. I use MoboPlayer which works alot better than the built in player and covers alot of codecs.
Trust me you wont look back and with the keyboard dock you can expect 15-20 hours battery life which would suit you very well on your long journeys. What I tend to do is use the tablet on its own until the battery gets low (around 9 hours normal use) and then plug the dock in to recharge the tablet. Once the screen is fully charged (takes round 3 hours while docked) you can then undock and continue or just use it while docked if you wish. The keyboard dock also makes a good stand if you want to put it on a desk and watch a movie.
The HDMI works perfectly with my Smasung 51inch Plasma. The first time I plugged it in it connected straight away and looks stunning. No problems at all although I think there are reports that new Panasonic TV's have problems but they may be isolated cases.
My tablet has only rebooted itself a few times and those times haven't been due the TF but to a custom kernel that had some bad settings. You have to remember that Honeycomb is still a VERY new operating system and there may be a few bugs but they will soon be ironed out as google are very good at updating Roms.
I have a 500GB external HardDrive (2.5inch with a single usb connector) and there is no problem at all with it being powered via the ASUS. You have to be docked as the USB connectors are only on the keyboard (so make sure you get one with the keyboard if you need this feature) but im sure you wont have any problems.
If you do get one (with the keyboard) then you wont miss your laptop at all if you are going to be using it for the things you mentioned. There is no laptop that can come close to the life of the TF and the screen is very clear and sharp which makes it ideal for movies and web browsing. The keyboard is very tactile and can hammer out documents very quickly and if you plug a usb mouse in you can even control it in the same way as your pc. A little tip, there is a button on the keyboard (top row, 4th in from left side) that turns the trackpad on and off which helps alot when you are docked and using your finger on the screen. My arm kept touching the trackpad making it do strange things and it took a while to figure out what was happening lol.
Hope this little review helps you make up your mind either way
Mark.
I bought this to replace my very old 15" powerbook G4, thats right, I said it....G4 hahaha. I knew that in no way was this a laptop replacement. I understood that this was more of a multimedia/entertainment device than anything else.
Purchasing this product with that in mind has was the best purchase I've made this year. However, if I bought this with the assumption that it would function the same as my laptop, I think I would have returned this a long time ago.
Surfing the web: Can't beat it. I used to get frustrated with the stock browser always crashing on me but I found Opera Mobile 11 and I've never looked back. Sometimes I do wish there was a full size browser for the tablet instead of mobile browswer but yeah, Opera gets the job done.....I know there is Maxathon or something that offers a full browser experience, but I've had issues with it so I'll stick to Opera.
Movies: At first I wanted to throw my tablet out the window but thanks to the XDA forums I found the means to convert my movies to MP4s. And with the update to 3.1, movies are near flawless. I do wish that the tablet could support all media files and play as smooth as my desktop but I only watch movies on the road. If I'm at home, I havea TV for that. It's acceptable.
Reading: eBooks are great, but PDFs are teh suck! The MyLibrary app is complete garbage. I've tried other apps but loading PDF magazines are always laggy so I just get pissed off and don't even bother.
Music: The speakers on this thing sucks.....get a nice pair of headphones.
Work: I've tried to use Polaris Office to do some spreadsheets but it was super troublesome. I guess if I got used to the way Android operated vs thinking of how Excel and Word works in Windows it might be ok. What I do is I just RDP into my Windows computer and work off the full version of Office.
Hope this helps
I also take flights occasionally and as you are aware...a laptop just doesn't fit in a modern airline seat space!! there is no lap left...but the TF is perfect!
Q:
Can it output via HDMI port without making you tear your hair out?
I do this at least once or twice a week...plug it in watch a movie on the TV...not issues at all.
Q
How often do you have to reach for a windows device because your tablet/dock fails?
It never fails but I do use the laptop every day due to an app that I need on android that isn't ready for prime time...if it was...I'd never use the laptop.
Q:
Does it power your external hard drives well enough?
Yep...I watch movies right from the external drive.
Q:
If i bought one, it would be my only mobile device, is it up to functioning on its own?
the ONLY weakness that I still have is the Office app...it doesn't have cut/paste capability. Once that's worked out....I'll be happy.
Q:
Do the bugs ruin the experience?
What Bugs? I never have bugs...
Thank you kindly!
You're welcome!
I have a TF,a rooted Nook Color, a laptop and a desktop. LOL, my desktop system might as well a doorstop at this point I never use it. My laptop is a decent machine but the battery life is dismal compared to the TF or the rooted Nook. I work from home a lot,love sitting outside and also really appreciate how cool running my TF and it's dock ar, no sitting in the sun while holding awarm laptop!
There are some windows programs I need to use regularly, I bought Splashtop HD and simply connect to one of my computers when I need to access these programs. Another plus with Splashtop HD is that I can use it to stream Netflix from my computer to my TF, I love watching a movie while lying comfortably in my bed and the screen on the TF is simply lovely for this purpose.

I highly recommend the AKG K319, which have a fantastic sound, nearly like a big high-end home headphone, e.g. Beyerdynamic DT-880. And don't get shocked by the shown price ... just google a bit ... I only payed 25 Euros
I was astonished how good the TF sounds with this headphones though it doesn't have an equalizer built-in.
Oh btw ... the K319 have a nice hardcase and an air plane adapter in the package. If I would loose them I would buy them again. But be warned, they need to burn in for about 50 hours to develop it's full potential. So don't get disappointed, when you first plug them in.
These are by far the best mobile headphones below 200$, no joke.
needs are manipulable... once u have the device, u'll have the needs to do stuffs with it *evil grin*

The asus transformers with serial number B4O.... Have been plagued with screen issues, from what I hear as long as you get a transformer with B6O, you should have no such issues.
Thank you all for your informative replies.
Are the newer transformers B60 then? I will be getting mine through PC world, who currently have no stock, so i assume when they get them they will straight off the production line.

I just got mine yesterday from best buy and it was in fact B60 with 3.1 update already installed. From what I've experienced these things sell-out pretty quick (at least thats what best buy told me) so they're always getting new shipments.
There is another thread on here regarding t different models, though I don't think there's much difference (my mistake) . Mine isn't terrible in that I only notice it in the dark (lightbleed) but if you're not on a budget, I'd consider the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as they seem to have better quality control. Do you're research though, I haven't done any digging myself.

Maybe, but if the tab will be your only PC, I think the TF is currently the best choice ... maybe besides the Arconia Tab, which doesn't have light bleed issues.
Another choice would be waiting until fall, when the next models will be available ... the Archos 3G e.g. looks promising.
Hey guys I don't mean to highjack this thread or anything, but I am probably getting the tf in the near future and I was wondering where I should buy one and what place has a good warranty where if I got a defective one I could get it replaced easily. And a little side question, I can make/edit/print word documents from this right?

It has Polaris Office preinstalled. From what I read, it can open MS Office documents. But so far I didn't find any hints how to print with the TF or if any printer wil be compatible on the USB. I think the printing topic is worth a new thread.
I found THIS to print to network printers ... I fear, that's the only way.
PS: Also have a look at THIS.

Well for starters noone can give you an answer since you have given no indication as to where you live. If you want to get it from a shop then any large electrical retailer should give you good customer service if anything goes wrong. I cant comment about buying it online until I know what country you live in lol.
You can easily create and edit word documents using the included Polaris Office app. There is no default app to let you print but you can either use an app called PrinterShare (or similar from the market) or look into google cloud printing.
EDIT: Google cloud printing works extremely well. Just go *HERE* and install Google Chrome on your pc. Then enable Cloud Printing from Chrome and print a test page to make sure its set up using the email address that your Tablet is set up with. You then need to install an app which supports cloud printing such as PrinterShare or Cloud Print BETA and you are good to go. Tested this with both PrinterShare and Cloud Print BETA and both work fine.

Amazon has very good customer service from what experience I have with them and is usually quite quick with replacements if anything goes wrong. Their warrany will be exactly the same as any other online retailer. The only problem with buying online is that you wont know what model you get until it arrives at your door.
If you really really want the B60 model then your best bet is to goto a store and ask to view the product in the box to make sure of the model. Some places may not oblige but most should. Saying that, I have the B40 model of tablet and have had absolutely no problems with it so far (touch wood).

Hello
I'm considering to buy GS3 or maybe wait for note2.
One thing that concern me when i tested GS3 in the store was that
it didnt play some of the clips on webpages where my iPhone did.
One ex is this :
http://www.macrumors.com/2012/08/08/harry-mccracken-interviews-apple-ad-man-ken-segall/
Why is it that iOS can play this and not Android?
Appreciate if you guys can explain this.
Also how do you make the video clip float, it's a cool feature samsung added
Cheers
Maybe youtube client or flash plugin weren't installed. but if you install these you can play all w/o problems of any sort

Beacause Youtube app would not have been installed...it plays fine on my GS3...GS3 will play anything and everything (at least AFAIK)..
When it comes to other fileformat yes i know Samsung is king (why i like Samsung to begin with :good: ) but this one i'm assuming was a youtube clip.
I'm confused since it did play a few other clips on other sites. I mean if youtube wasnt installed already it would not have played the others either.
@Zoot1: If i interpret your comment right you could play it just fine? (this is good news then)
AS to flash well iPhone doesnt have that so i'm assuming this is not flash related (i think).
ps. i wish Samsung would announce their note2, i have a reeeeally hard time resisting to buy this nice phone, the screen is so damn nice, everytime i use my iphone i want to run to the store and get me a GSIII but must resist until i see the Note2 hehe
Anyone else in the same boat as i?
At the recent google IO, a fun little project was launched.
https://developers.google.com/cardboard/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.samples.apps.cardboarddemo
It's called cardboard, and it's google take on smartphone / VR helmet. I was really curious to try it on my Note 2, specially since I already had a helmet. (Made it when I was bored some time ago.)
Saddly, it seems the app won't work on a galaxy note 2. It should, but it doesn't.
So I wondered, does anyone else tried the app ? Did you manage to make it work on note 2 ?
Hi there! Same thing happens with me and not only with that app, with Google camera as well.
I'm running stock kitkat from samsung.
Could this problem be from Google apps?
It appears our devices don't support the "GL_EXT_robustness extension"
I encountered the same issue with WebGL not being supported in Chrome. It appears this is why.
i tried it in a stock i9300 and i9500 and both crash .

Would switching to a non-samsung rom help support it ? ( I guess not, even non-samsung rom probably use samsung drivers.)

I would like to know if apps build with this crash on the note 2.
I have a note 2 on the sprint network(sph-l900 running 4.4.2)
and the app works on mine
as for the cardboard case it seems the note 2s size may cause problems(i will be adding 1/4 inch to the front cover)
the note 2s camara is blocked(i will cut my own hole to compensate for phone difference)

Well, the app was just updated. Like 5 minutes ago on my phone. And now it works. On my note 2, only the "windy day" demo crash.
More info I found though on the subject though :
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=288731
"The problem is that the EXT_robustness implementation on the Mali-400 does not support reset notification. However, Chrome doesn't use virtual GL contexts on these GPUs, so in theory the effects of WebGL shaders could be confined to the respective WebGL GL context.
I did some further testing (https://codereview.chromium.org/24037006/) and turns out it's still possible for long running shaders in the WebGL contexts to block GL execution in other contexts -- not limited ones in Chrome. Based on this I don't think we want to enable WebGL on Mali-400 based devices.
Note that users can still override this by disabling the "Software rendering list" in about://flags."

Even though I figured it wouldn't be the correct dimensions I went ahead and made the case per the instructions and the biggest issue is the focal point. Everything else including the magnet placement works. I'm going to pull the pdf into photoshop and increase all of the dimensions so it will actually be able to encase the Note 2.

I finished it a couple of days ago and just got around to printing it and cutting it out of cardboard. It needs a little tweaking, but otherwise works pretty good. I need to scale it down just a bit since the one I made accounts for my phone being in my otterbox case. I'm almost done with that one though so I should have it complete in a day or two.
I've included a picture of my completed in-case version looks like. I still need to make one change I know of to this case. When increasing the dimensions I guess I missed making the back panel bigger so it doesn't actually close all the way now. I'll upload that one when I'm done too.
Hey SPIDERTECH,
nice to hear you got a note2-version of the cardboard. Can you share the Photoshop-file?
Best regards!
Drongo
Please share the template for Note 2

If you have it all finalized, I will glady send you some money for a copy of it sized for the Galaxy Note 2 housed in an otterbox. I will send you the money via PayPal...just let me know if you have it finalized and I'll gladly pay you for it.

I would have had this done sooner, but I wanted to print everything out and get it assembled before making the PDFs. I've attached a ZIP with 3 pdf files to print each individually and assemble like the original. I've also included a transparent PNG and a TIFF that is the entire thing for large printing.
I need to rework the version with the otterbox since after printing and assembling it I discovered that I had missed resizing certain parts. I should have that one done soon though.

I need to rework the version with the otterbox since after printing and assembling it I discovered that I had missed resizing certain parts. I should have that one done soon though.

I have sent you $10.00 Spidertech for the files you just posted...when you get the one for the Note 2 with Otterbox done, I will send you more for it as well. I appreciate you sharing this, and since I am also having trouble getting my Note 2 SGH-i317 upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 from 4.3, I will gladly pay you if you can offer advice to me on what to do via email.
Looking forward to the Note 2 with Otterbox case files.
Thank you!

I got this template from a friend (source unknown)
I made one using tgis template and works perfect.
Its not the best looking cardboard, but fits perfectly and works great.
Also i tried downloading some SIDE BY SIDE 3d videos from YouTube and played using MxPlayer ( have to set it to 80% zoom for 720p videos to get perfect display)

I saw that you sent the donation. Thank you for that.
Was there a particular ROM you were looking at for the 4.4.2 or were you wanting to update to the official release?

Some other nice apps for use with the cardboard case can be found here http://www.divegames.com/games.html. I actually use the two I've listed below.
ViewR - uses your camera in SBS format so you can strap this to your head and view the camera feed. It has voice activated triggers that are used to change the "filter" on the screen which is actually pretty fun to play around with.

Side-By-Side Video Player - Lets you play any videos from your phone in SBS mode. The only issue I've found with it on the Note 2 is that the videos cannot be played from the gallery. If you play them from a file viewer like Astro then they work fine.

I have tried both apps. Due to loss of edge data i don't really see a point watch videos in it. Unless the videos are made to compensate the loss (round cornered videos)
Also in my first post i attached template but its not getting attached.
Im looking for a mirroring app that will allow my friends to watch what im doing while playing the the VR. Lately ive been using "MirrorOP sender for galaxy" but it has very low FPS and is quite laggy. I know the chromecast and firestick use to work but with one of the more previous android versions theyve stopped working. So im wondering if anyone has found a good one that works with the s7 edge? Thanks
Wow, I didn't think that anything like this would be possible. I really hope someone has a solution for you because I think my wife would love to watch as wearing the VR herself seems to hurt her eyes/headaches
It is already possible! Its no longer in 3d or as exciting but, if you install the aforementioned app on your phone, then download its counter part onto your computer, then hook your computer up to you TV, it works. However as i have mentioned it is very low FPS.
Did you try the chromecast with its dedicated app? I don't have my gear myself yet, but casting your screen still works flawless. Just start casting your screen with the app and put it in the gear afterwards.

most reports are saying that chromecast doesn't work after 5.1.1 android, i was wondering if it has started to work again with the s7 before i go buy one.
Hummm.. I have a newer sammy tv.. I can mirror pretty easy on this thing.. dont think I need an app.. will have to try it out if my vr ever shows up.
