We've all been asking the same question, samsung won't tell us why it's there, but speculation is that either it's there and just not enabled, or it's just part of their basic touchwiz rom and they forgot to remove it.

yea i think they just forgot to remove the option.. like for wallpapers in Settings>Display. it doesnt really need to be there since it was used to change the lockscreen wallpaper which can be done on the SGS but not the SK4G . Maybe samsung could've taken their time on the this one.

I use the tv out it I got it to werk wit a cable for my ipod to watch a movie n I thought it might werk n it did. I use the cable to go in the headphone jack it werk great like the evo mirror app it show the home screen n some app on tv

Dude, before you go hating does anyone have proof that the thing actually WORKS on the SK4G?!?! (like a YouTube Video SHOWING that it works???)

This should work, and its the lowest price... basically anywhere. I am getting one.

EDIT: YOUTUBE LINK http://youtu.be/qBvPUuAmMXw

From your Home screen, it is obvious you are ROOTED. will the cable work on a non-ROOTED Sidekick 4G??

i tried a audio/video cable used for my camcorder and it didnt work. since its obvious that the old school audio/video cable for ipods work i suggest buying those. if u look on amazon you can get them for around .36 plus $3 shipping.

i have one of those cables i cant get it to work .. im rooted and running the latest maximus gingerclone

The SK-2008 also didn't have 8GB of internal storage so a memory card was required to have any music. Plus, why would you want them to include a 512MB card? When I got my Sidekick, that card went immediately into storage and will never be used, just way too small.

Can't get Data or Signal

Hey, about a month ago I dropped my G2X and the screen cracked. I got it fixed at some shady place (yeah i know my fault haha) and now I cant get signal or data. The screen and phone are 100% functional its just that I can't get any signal. I'm running stock 2.2.2, any ideas?
I have also tried a new sim card, didnt work :/
Have you had signal or data at all after the repair?

Yea that shouldn't be like that... that connector can't be soldered back or just shoved in like that... I got some extra wire connector that look just like that from my old hd2... you tell me if that will work... its about 4in or so long... both end have same connector... if you say yea...

The antenna to the G2x seems about an inch or two longer than the one the HD2 uses, although I might be wrong, because I seem to remember the HD2 cable winding around alot.
Its the white one... the black one is shorter... I was putting my hd2 back together while posting my last message.. I was in the same boat as he was but worst... the Guy that work on my phone did not even put it back together... he gave it back to me with it being apart and had major issues cause he Jimmy rig the crap out of my phone... I gave it to him to repair as a whole phone... so I ended up repairing it myself... and its working fine!!! Just want to save frost some money... xda been very helpful to me since I became a member

Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though
Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.
Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.
Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

When i plug the phone into the pc the phone just charges thats it.Not sure if its the right cord or not.
I ended up finding a unlocker the guys actually called me to make sure what phone I had now Im running with AT&T go phone.I left tmobile because of the service was just awful in the area that I had to move to.Now I can make calls and text with full bars.
I really want to get this phone rooted so I can try out some roms.I sure miss the G2x was fun testing all the different ones it had
you have to buy a new USB plug! Went tthrough the same problem on my old vibrant I thought I bricked it because it wouldn't turn on,I sent it in and tthey fixed it and sent it back.. still undergoing the same problem I asked a friend for help. He said maybe it was the wire And tthat's exactly what it was. It is most likely without a doubt the wrong wire. Buy a new one!

That does make sense.Thanks for stating the obvious
My original cable got hosed (dropped it in a parking lot...D'oh!) and I bought a new T-Mobile branded one from the T-Mobile store. Was $14 or so, which I felt was robbery, but it works like a champ. I've had no problems flashing ROMs or anything with it.
I just looked the cord over man Im dumb and feel really stupid right now lol Its a LG cord.They say when you hit 40 ya go blind
Honestly, one wouldn't think the brand would matter. And no 40 jokes...hittin' 41 tomorrow

Oh just figured it was for just LG phones. It doesnt feel like it connects to the phone to snug either.

Where can i find this part. And Welcome (me)this douche back

I sold my g2x after i got my sgs 2. I have since purchased and rooted a gajillion fones to see what i like and to sell.
Among this phones are htc sensation x3, hd2 x5, sgs vibrant x5, moto defy x3, g2 x5, htc radar, htc glacier
The phone that xonsistantly walks all of these devices including my sgs2 was my g2x.
What i did. Purchased a moar den fubar g2x. All that was left was the main boahrd and camera. I purchased a digitizer and screen and put this thing back to gether just to make it up to the g2x and show it i was sorry for abandonin it and shiet.
The phone is workinh and i dont have screen blled issues at all. The whites are brighter then my sgs 2 #;&%'n shiet. Internetz loahdz faster &*%#'N SHIEEET.
All im missing is the little grill that sits a top the microphone.

[Q] Add on IR sensor?

I'm disappointed there's no IR sensor on our phone, cause I could really use it for my TV not having a remote. I don't want a universal remote either. Is there any IR sensor I could buy and attach thru the charger port or connect to my USB OTG? And just like port the Galaxy S4 WatchON app to my phone?

You knew the phone didn't have one when you bought it. If it was that big of a deal why did you get it? Also good dude. I Googled headphone jack ir blaster for android and got several thousand results.

So, you'd rather have an IR blaster sticking out of the top of your phone, than buy a universal remote? You could probably find a factory replacement for your TV.
