Hi, I'm looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard, that is the same size as the phone, or slightly smaller. I do not want a big, full sized, foldable one, because it doesn't fit my uses. Thanks in advance.
Samsung Infuse 4G-Zeuz-ICSRevamped
If you find out about one let me know as I could also use one since I can not find a nice controlder that is cheapish to play with it.
I was thinking about ordering GSI Super-Quality Wireless Mini Bluetooth Keyboard . I am just not sure if it would work since there are issuse I know with the wii remotes working.
On the Zuse Rom.
Hmm... why not just get a better keyboard app for your phone.... Try out swiftkeyx and then keep on your hunt after a week of using it if you still feel it necessary. Rather spend 3.99 than 39.99 + shipping.

most bt keyboards work. the game controllers are usually a problem. depends on the protocol it uses but the information on that is hard to find.
I did order it for $15 and am now waiting for it to come in. I will let you know then if it works.
I went ahead and bought one. (I'd post a link to the one I purchased, but I don't have enough posts here )
I could only get it to pair on my Infuse, it would not connect on any of the roms I tried(Zeus, CM7, and stock UCLB1). Yep, not even the stock rom worked. I did get it to connect on my Le Pan TC970, but it would not type, or respond, to any keypress I made, and eventually my Tablet would just crash, reboot, and bootloop. I hope someone finds a working BT keyboard, I still would really like one. Hope this helps with other peoples purchases.
EDIT: It works with my iPhone 3GS.
EDIT2: I got it to work on miui 2.2.17, so far that's the only rom that I have found that the keyboard works on. Also, it works on my stock le pan, but not when on cm7.

I use thumb keyboard when turned sideways I looks and works just like Bluetooth keyboard would
There is always room to improve on perfection!!! Perfection only opens the door to defaults!
I got the keyboard and while it would pair it does not seem to work with the phone nomatter what I do.

I am using the Zuse Rom at the moment on the phone.
I am not going to return it as I will set it up for my ps3 for now.
I'm sorry it took so long, but I cannot test stock froyo. My backup does not work, and I would rather not flash, yet again, with Odin, unless I must. If I could be directed to a cwm flashable stock froyo rom, or if, and when, I need to flash with Odin, I will test it.

no one mentioned it but there is this app you can download from the android market called playon download it and follow the steps and it works with netflix! its only a 14 day trial before you have to buy but its better than nothing! ENJOY
ps after the trial its only 5 a month not bad....
Netflix is running fine with CM7 (NB #93) and Faux123 v0.3.5 kernel. NO build prop edits or whatsoever. It just works!

just install a custom rom/kernel and use the working no-build.prop-change version
yes i know but then i lose the a2dp functionality and i need that! with this i can be at work and listen thru my bluetooth and not bother anyone!
there are roms that support a2dp. i think netflix works on simple rooted stock

why pay 5 bucks a month on top of the price that netflix already raised? i know it's only 5 bucks, but some of us are trying to raise families. every dollar counts.

Nah... I have a rooted stock rom, but it doesn't work. It works on CM7 just fine...but the problem I have is, that there's no HDMI working when I have CM7 (not unless somebody can point me to the thread that tells me how to get that working.)
I'm on the same boat as you are bud... that's why I have two roms and I switch back and forth loll
CM7 nightly 90 with Latest Trinity kernel
when im on cm7 the hdmi cuts in and out, bummer i sure hope netflix comes out soon for stock.
Found another work around for Netflix on GB 2.3.3
Go to radio shack and get a portable DVD player, then stop at the Red Box Kiosk at Walmart and rent a movie.
I am sorry, but getting a 3rd Party application that requires a stationary server and a monthly fee is not a work around.

I'm sorry that you are sorry... You're also wrong. This is absolutely a workaround in every sense. If you are willing to pay the 3rd party a few bucks, you can have netflix working on your phone regardless of the ROM or version of Android. Cool, it's not worth it to you. Me neither. But that doesn't negate its relevancy as a legitimate workaround for those to whom it is worth.

I still want to be able to unroot and receive updates if I wanted to. Plus, I was reading about some users having difficulty with GPS lock.
I am a noob. First android phone.
Sense your are rooted you need to try my GPS and Data fix in the dev section. Should clear up your GPS issue. what country do you live in? I can tailor one for each country.

I am not rooted yet because I want to makes sure there everything will work fine before I root. I also want to be able to unroot though. Is there a how-to (unroot) for the mt4gs?
I am located in Socal, pretty close to Vegas.
Then my GPS fix WILL work for you. The GPS stock on this device is horrible.
Sent from my Undeadk9's Senseless ROM using xda premium
Ok, I had the same question. But it is still unanswered... Can you unroot it? I don't know if I want to keep this phone and I just got it. I may send it back but I wanted to try out the rooted version, or I guess S-off as everyone is calling it, before I return it (if I do..? arg!)
The GPS and the battery life suck on this thing. I had a G1 before this with cyanogen mod and the whole lot but it seems the game has changed a bit since then. Hopefully it can be done!
I know of no way to get s-on once you turn it off. You could still return the phone though no problem. Just flash the stock rom back if you don't like the custom roms and they won't be able to tell anything if you take it back. The two roms that UndeadK9 has done both fix all the problems this phone has stock. It really makes it a much better device. I doubt you will want to return it after you try one of them. I can't speak for the other custom roms because I haven't tried them myself. After you decide to keep the phone go to Amazon and get the Ankler battery and you will have one bad ass mamba jamba. Info on the battery can be found in the accessory section of the forum. Good luck.

T mobile is offering me a choice between a Sidekick 4g and a myTouch 4g slide.... I've read the specs and seems the mytouch is higher end but want to know opinions from users who know whats what. like I said I've read the specs already so I am trying to look past the black and white.

OK now I have the phone on it's way. I know I can't get s-off but would like to know what I can and can't do until that solution has been found. I am also reading up so not looking for the lazy way out.

Pretty sure the Sidekick has reported A LOT of hardware problems.... check there forums here as well, but I do recall it being a high-problem phone.
You can't possibly go wrong with this device.
Developer "Blue61X" has even bought two of these devices because he loves it so much. if that helps

I'm leaning this way.... haven't had much chance to explore this forum yet... Is it possible to get s-off yet?
Yea, it's great. I can't see anything else coming close to it for a while in it's class ( hardware keyboard )
The stock battery is not great - and that's being polite.
You can find links to the battery threads in the contents page of my sticky in dev - basically you have the cheaper Anker or the more expensive Mugen to choose from to replace it with.
If you have/want to spend the money, the Mugen is great - I rock an Anker myself and love it.
Make use of the tv-out through the headphones jack, I play a lot of games output to a tv screen and the device stays alive and active while you are hooked up. I'm sure you can imagine how much more fun racing games and many others will be like this.
You can also find links to the tv threads in the dev reference, which will tell you what cable to get.
I have a Trident case on my primary, and love it. There's a decent thread on cases, but I've been pretty busy around here and haven't had the chance to update it in a while. I'll get back to it sometime.
Once you change a few keymappings, update with my gps fix and start really playing with it you'll love it.
Any specific questions just toss 'em out there - but there is no other device now or that we know of coming that I would trade this for.

Depends. For the new update, which you'll have, you got a chance with the HTC unlock tool - if that works you can do most stuff.
We are actively working on a downgrade to S-OFF option - this led to me getting S-OFF to S -ON for us a couple hours ago and I'll be bringing one of my devices up to the S-ON locked state you'll get it in later tonight.
Then I'll be able to actually try stuff instead of us guessing - all the devs working on the fix were S-OFF already so figuring out how to flip it S-ON was a big step in productivity. Once I update in S -ON, I'm stuck until we figure it out - so don't worry man, right there with ya.
HTC should have the issue resolved and restart the OTA in the not too distant future.

DO NOT SIDEKICK 4G i have that phone and its slow as ****, no roms, very hard to put clockwork mod on it,
the olny good thing about it is the keyboard and i personally prefer the mytouch 4g slides keybaord
@ Blue: looking forward to the success of your work and all that I can learn from you and the other devs. I personally use the Samsung galaxy s 4g and am getting this phone to replace my wife's mt3gs and think I'm going to be jealous from the little bit that I've read.
@wiswis: already placed the order for the mytouch. I posted something similar to this in the sidekick forum and plenty of people have viewed but no post. They made the decision very easy.
Thank you everyone for your input.
Definitely the mt4gs

Just a little word about the GPS. On the 1.28.531.10 stock ROM, your GPS fix was a huge improvement. However, now that I'm on the 1.55.531.3 stock ROM, the GPS is lightening quick and accurate without any adjustments on my part. HTC must have done some serious tweaking to the GPS code in this ROM.

You know, I wasn't thinking when I wrote that - there was a bunch of GPS stuff that was pushed for the new update, a new SUPL cert and gps.conf file. I meant to take a look at it to see what they did and if it still needed help or not, but haven't had a chance to yet.
Hopefully I'll have the presence of mind to pull them from my other phone now that it's up to date stovk

If you read the specs alone it should be nothing but obvious what phone to choose its like asking should i go with a free geo or a BMW .........
i think you get the idea by now, but i'll just say, the keyboard is the ONLY POSSIBLE reason you might choose the SK. i've had both, and there is no comparison... MT4GS all the way.
LMFAO! Screw the damn keyboard. I can't wait to dig into this phone and see what it can do. Only downside is my wife said I only get one weekend to set it up before she takes it away. NOW that I have the phone on order and I'll only have the weekend to mess with it any suggestions on what I should start with until s-off is achieved?
Depends what hboot u get. If u get the older one, ur in business. Ez to root and s-off.
Use rubix ics 5.2 with my directions on page 148 of its thread on rootzwiki, if u want stability with everything working and super fast. If she wants ics, tbalden's rom probably. But all the 4.0.X roms are still a work in progress.

I know. I couldn't resist, as i just took in my Beamer to get the recall fixed Wednesday
I jumped for joy earlier today when i hopped right onto XDA to do my usual look around the forums for the skyrocket. And right infront of me were the words "ICS for SKYROCKET"
I quickly Downloaded the file and went on my way to wait for my phone to be brought back to me...only to figure out that Rogers users were left out in all this fun and joy
To my understanding, hardware is all the same...
What could possibly be done?
Is it best we wait for a work around or have someone create a custom ROM.
(Sorry guys, im new to this whole kernel/rom/rooting thing )
I think we just gotta stick together and wait it out for silver to get his ICS CWM flashable zip working.
Once that happens... do I need to say it?
hahaha i just read the thread that you referred to...reading that just got my heart pumping. Im so anxious!!
If it works, its another reason to sell my customers on the S2

Could we get someone with a little knowledge to elaborate on this topic? I've been trying to get tv out my phone for two years. The ONLY rom I've ever been able to get it to work with is Ultragen. I don't like ICS though. Does anyone know of a BML rom in which tv out will work? Does anyone know WHY it matters what rom you have? Or maybe how to change something somewhere to make it function properly? I would LOVE to be able to get it working on Valhalla Final.......
I keep hearing ....its a matter of the right cables....I've purchased several cables at different price ranges...and hooked them up multiple ways and the best I've managed to get is a very distorted partially visible snowy screen with audio.
And that's with every rom.
From what I understood is it works on CM9, but there is a green line when you change the rotation.
Alternatively, if what you want is to display pictures or videos from your gallery on TV
and assuming you have Smart TV hooked up to your router. You could use iMediaShare
app, (or any DLNA capable app in the market) it works wonders, to stream any video
or pictures from your phone (or youtube) to your TV. Without the hassle of cables
and such.
Besides, I used RCA cables before with our phone, and picture quality is (outright) crap.
Thanks all for the input. Smart TV, which I just purchased anyway, is a pretty good option.
My main interest in the feature was the ability to play emulators from my phone on the tv.
I read a post FBis251 wrote about being able to sync your wiimote to your smartphone so you could use it as a controller for your emulators.
Not too big a deal, as I don't travel often, it would just be neat.
Once again, thanks for the input all.

I'm by no means trying to take away from what the devs do, it simply amazes me, but there has to be a way of getting the feature to work.
I would not go as far to say the roms are incomplete without the feature, as it wouldn't be used that often, but come on guys, how cool would it be to have a multi platform emulator on the fly!?!?

Nope.
It works on GB. Go back to GB, stay on GB and use TV out.
@lumin30-I'm so sorry man. I just read your post and realized I forgot to thank you for your pm response. My bad my man.
I haven't figured it out on GB. I got it on the Ultragen, which I believe is ICS, so anytime I need the feature I just switch to my Ultragen backup.
Only downside is I haven't figured out how to get back to GB other than Odin, which really isn't a big deal either, just a little inconvient.
Tv out works on ics but has a green bar at bottom of screen in landscape but not in portrait. Here are instructions with pics and a link to a video. Make sure you select NTSC. For some reason default PAL. Also make sure your 3.5mm jack has 4 pins like the one in the pic.
