My compliments on the descriptive title and problem statement.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. What is the problem? "it don't work" is not much to go on
2. What have you tried? Again, a little information can help those trying to help you
3. Try searching - there are many threads on using cables for TV-out (especially in the accessories forum - that is a hint).

Did you enable TV out in the Sounds and Display menu?

I've never used the TV out capability of the Captivate but this link may help you.

I do know you have to enable TV out from the Display menu. Settings->Display->TV out, then you select TV out on or off.

Make sure it's enabled and if it doesn't work try switching the colors. Some cables you'll have to use red or white for video.

Android wifi tether for SGH T959v

I've been searching and reading and I can't seem to find which Android wifi tether works best for our phone.
I went to google and it doesn't say galaxy S 4g so I'm not sure which apk download is safe to use on our phone. I know our phone is different from the vibrant.
Does anyone know which version works best on our phone?
What are you using and how do you rate it?
Thank you for your time and input.

I use easy teather But its not in the market anymore. It doesnt allow u to change Nat type setting. it is a real drag cause I got the phone for to use on my xbox360 so I could play online. But also there are various other apps in the market. just search and u will find and dont forget to check what others have to say about the app you intend on downloading. Some suck some dont.

it actually works fantastic. its kinda hidden though so dont be embarrased. Do you know how to find it?
Sorry to shove this question in here but since this seems like the right topic. Is there an app that will allow access to NAT(network address translation) settings? As usual samaung nor t-mobile could be of any help. I was told rooting would get me the access I need to deal with such a matter. Was this b.s. or is there a way?

How r u getting a moderate Nat when this device is set to a strict Nat type? I can sign in and play some people but as for party,s or game addons I can't access much. Please let me know how your experience is (on xbox live)and what u have done to beat the Nat setting.

Unfortunately your about where I'm at. I can play live on certain games but can't download any content. But it works great for when I watch Netflix, and that's what I use it for.

Yea i was real dissapointed when i found out bout the nat. This was the main reason i got the phone. Hopefully I can find something on this matter that will help people like you and me enjoy Xbox live to the fullest extent.

[Q] Is video-out possible?

Is there any way to get video-out working on the mesmerize and showcase or is the hardware just not there?
there is no hardware anywhere on the board that supports video out. if you had the time, money and knowledge to open it up, put the right connectors and hardware, ports, everything and then write drivers to make it work then it could be possible potentially.

What do you mean by "broken?" Do you mean that you can only use the USB connector for charging?
No, it's broken it won't charge or connect to the computer it was broken when I bought it if I play with the cord it says it's charging icon pops up but you can see it drop while it's plugged in that tells me that it's broken i may get it fixed one day but until then I just mess around with it its still a decent phone to play with + I don't have my computer either its in the shop being repaired.

LOL. He knows it's broken. He's asking if there is a way to root without USB.

There is no way that I know of to root without a USB connection. Sorry man. I bet you could have a decent repair shop replace it for under 50 bucks though.

Your still gonna need the USB working tough. To modify recovery you need either ADB or ROOT. So like I said not gonna happen. Sorry

What Rom is compatible with car dock?

I recently bought the oem Samsung infuse car dock. The dock is suppose to automatically switch the phone into car mode once the app is downloaded. Well it doesn't do this. I am currently rooted on stock Rom 2.3.5. I understand this function is built into the stock Rom for the skyrocket and may be built into a different build. What I am looking for is automatic switching to car mode once inserted into dock and audio out via the charging port. I know there is a Rom out there that supports the car dock. And I'm ready to flash it. Does anyone have any idea of a Rom that supports the car dock functions?

What exactly does this mean?
I am curious too, what is he reporting and who is he reporting to? Is he some kind of a mole for the fbi or the cia?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
He thinks he's a mod, just look at all his post. They are all 1 word post. What's the word you say, reported. He's reporting to either prbassplayer or kennethpen. As for mole, yes, he's got nothing better to do than just come on here and post 1 word responses.
I don't see how this is in violation of anything. He's asking a question in the Q & A section. As for searching there's nothing on here that answers this question. The other theads talk about using apks.
Now to answer this question, have not seen a rom with a built in features, the rom I'm on came with Robin from the play store.

What app did you download?
Its not necessarily a "ROM" that makes the car dock "work" . Yes there is an option to set audio out in the dock settings for samsung stock roms(though it has yet to be functional). I use the dock in conjunction with google car home(when i insert the phone into the dock it automatically sets it in car mode and you can customize what apps you want on it), one of the threads has info on it so search my friend.
Entropy512(Elite Recognized Developer for Infuse 4g) provides some insight into the dock
Entropy512 said:
In the case of Infuse and other devices which have proper dock support, the dock is specifically detected by the device based on the value of the resistor between the ID pin and ground. The state of USB pins 2 and 3 don't matter as these aren't even routed to the device - those pins get routed by the dock to the audio output jack, and the device routes audio to those pins when the ID resistor indicates a dock is present.
In this case the Skyrocket appears not to be handling dock presence at all.

If you download the MajickXperian Rom it will automatically open an app when a certain device is connected so I would guess that it will work perfectly. It opens Play Music everytime I plug in my headphones without a hitch.

Console

Ok, i would like to monitor my phone. I dont know what the best way to do this. I would like to set up a console through my computer. If necessary, i can use another monitor via micro-usb to hdmi.
honestly, any feedback would be much appreciated

Do you mean monitor as in always see the "systems health", or actually see the devices whole output on a larger screen?

I know how to get it to a larger screen, jus wondering if i could monitor the health i guess from another screen. Also if somebody could link me to a place where i could use my computer to control my phone/tablet. Unfortulently i have a verizon htc one.
