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.

Worth it? ( keyboard dock)

Is it worth it to spend $150 to get the keyboard dock and why?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

For me: yes. I'm a sysadmin which means I sometimes need some specific app, or really need a mouse and keyboard combo. I've got ASUS' included rebranded Splashtop remote HD installed on my home PC, and with the dock it's just like I'm at home.
The dock (for me) really takes the tablet from a neat toy/time waster to a productive tool, it really replaced my laptop.

^this works for me as well

What I like about the dock
Keyboard is much easier to use for typing than the "virtual one".
Keyboard Shortcuts and specialized function keys (e.g. Home, Menu, Media Controls)
Looks/Feels like a netbook computer.
Battery boost
Extra SD Card Slot
It closes to protect the screen.
Very glad I bought it.

Yes but it still works even if the battery is depleted. Yes it has a usb and you can use a usb hub to connect more than one peripheral.

yes, it adds a whole new dimension to your tablet. plus the extra battery life, full size USB port, and full size SD card slot. it can't be beat.

The only thing I don't like is how top heavy it is.

Yes. I usually just connect the tablet to the dock and plug it in. Both pieces get charged at the same time.
There's a USB connector on the side too.

Instead of connecting the charger cable to the tablet you connect it to the dock when the tablet is docked. Nothing special.

I waited about a week to get the dock only because I was broke lol. Went to gamestop today and traded in a bunch of stuff to get the dock and a case.
I am very happy and impressed. I need a laptop at all times for work and to log into my home pc, and this just cut inches and weight from me carrying my laptop in its bag on my back while driving my scooter lol.
With the usb port I can either connect my external HDD or controller, then you have another sd card slot on top of that. Went from 32gb to 80gb lol.
All the tablet specific buttons and everything make it totally worth the $150. Now it just looks like a netbook but better.

I found one online for $131 but i might go trade stuff at game stop and get it for $150
Actually $160 with taxes :/

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?

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.

Ps3 dual shock contoller question.

This may sound stupid, but i bought the controller not knowing you need to buy the charger seperate. Anyone who has used this controller for your tablet, do i need to buy an adapter to hook up the controller with a usb initially?? Thats what the instructions say, just wanna be clear.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app

Just buy a USB to Mini-B cable and you can connect/charge it with your pc. Make sure your pc installs the correct usb driver for it because it needs to communicate before getting the correct current/voltage.
You would need the cable anyway to reprogram with SixaxisPairTool.

For charging on pc, all 4 leds will flash while charging. They will switch off when done.
I presume you'd want to use it wirelessly using bluetooth. For bluetooth connection take a look at Sixaxis

Ok so i changed the blue tooth address on the controller to the address on my tablet with the tool kit. I am already rooted. When i plug the controller to the pc it shows the same address. I have the sixaxis app from the play store. I have ime bypassed. I hit start within the app. Then i hit the power/ps button on the controller and nothing happens. The controller doesnt blink any lights or anything. When i just plug the controller to my pc it blinks all 4 lights for a little bit then stops (assuming its charged) not sure what im doing wrong or if my controller just isnt working. Just got the controller in the mail today. I admit tho, when i first got it i was stupid and excited and plugged it into the wall. If anyone thinks thats what killed it ill return it and get a new one. I just wanna make sure its not something im missing. Thanks in advance.

The first thing is try with Dead Trigger. It has native support. Go to options etc. The mapping is very small and hard to see.
Go to Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad. Make sure it's ticked.
Go to Keyboard Emulation->Bypass IME->untick.
Report back your results.
p.s. this might be silly but don't substitute letter o with zero for address.

Ok, so i checked the address and if i put an o in place of a 0 (zero) then its invalid and wont let me update the address. Anyway, i downloaded dead trigger and weng i to preferences in sixaxis controller and checked enable Gamepad and unchecked bypass ime. Tried learning in my controller and still no lights or anything when i hit the power button.

Ive tried downloading the 32bit version for windows xp a bunch and it keeps showing this 64 verio is not compatible with your platform....

3.5 mm aux cable

I called htc tonight to find out why I can't listen to my music on my phone through the aux cable(it comes out through the phones speaker), and she told me I need a 3.5 mm aux cable that is certified to work with the one s. Does anyone know what she's talking about? Is there a special audio cable I need? Thank you.

The problem isn't the cables if they work for other phones.
The problem is either hardware, or you.
I don't see how your phone works with headphones, but not with an aux cable. It's the same thing.

You can manually force the audio to come out the aux using an app. It would get annoying, but it should work.

Been a customer for 13 years and I notice how each year the support gets worse.

Ok maybe I'm missing something here but do you have a cover on your phone? Maybe the headphones plug all the way in but not your cable? I use monster and griffin brands and both work fine.
Edit:Also if you have been with T-Mobile for a long time (I've been with them for 12 yaers) then when you call tell them you want to talk to customer loyalty team they will hook you up.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do not have a cover on either phone and the aux cable is as far in as possible. I'll have to try customer loyalty and see off that works. So far nothing. I don't know what the odds are of the phones not working on one of 3 aux cables and 3 different cars, but I'd say it should work on at least one of them. All of my other phones have worked on all 3. I'll try calling again. Thank you.
