Samsung has a microUSB cable able to release the video signal to HDMI
The accessory is called ECC1HU0BBEBSTD
like this
http://www.myreplicaphone.com/samsung-ecc1hu0bbebstd-tv-out-cable-micro-usb-to-hdmi.html
Nice!!!
I'll search another website to buy it!
Thank you
If anyone finds a retailer that will ship this to uk please post
If anyone finds this in stock anywhere, please let us know.
It's not been officially documented as supported, so i'm still a bit sceptical.
It's unclear if the i9000 supports this AFAIK. It seems at least the Vibrant and Captivate will support it, but no mention of i9000.
See here: http://briefmobile.com/galaxy-s-does-microusb-to-hdmi
I stand corrected. If it works for the yank models, there's no reason why it shouldn't work for us. I knew of the cable before, just didn't think the SGS hardware supported it.
In stock here
http://www.myluxphone.com/samsung-ecc1hsabbebstd-hdmi-cable-original.html
However the place looks shady imo.. and doesn't accept paypal.
This place too, but they list 2 model numbers though, so I think it may be the wrong cable (too hard to tell if it's microusb by the image).

EDIT: DON'T BUY! confirmed wrong as instinct has a proprietary jack not micro-usb.

Doesn’t list galaxy s as a compatible product. I saw this a month ago, and dismissed it – without any confirmation, I’m taking this with a pinch of salt.
It seems to me that some blogs just saw the product on their pages, and assumed it would work with the Galaxy S series of phones. If it did work, I think Samsung would have marketed it as such.
I was also very doubtful at first, but the source is samsung usa's website itself... guide to tv-out clearly shows micro-usb to hdmi.

Not sure what remocon is.
Holding down the menu button to search is a replacement for the dedicated search key that Google says you must have. (They want 4 buttons: search, home, menu and back)
Tv out via 3.5mm jack was also advertised. Mobile Tracker... That's just software

Look at this vibrant FAQ
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=310316&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=560&EMAIL_ID=
This link aswell (captivate)... but it has since been removed!?!?! Pretty sure yesterday this FAQ also had the hdmi info 0_0... Maybe samsung has picked up on an error?
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=307505&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=558&EMAIL_ID=
Okay, I'm a bit more convinced, but I'd love to see some official / visual confirmation. As they say, seeing is believing.

1. The search button is common for any basic phone which is missing in Galaxy S. Dont you think it would have been a good strategy for Samsung to promote dual functionality of menu in order to appease asthetics?
2. The tv out via 3.5mm was never advertised in UK not online, not in papers not on tv.
3. Mobile tracker is a software which Samsung always promotes with other phones. But Samsung didnt promote the feature which was preinstalled in Galaxy S.
4. remocon is also a "software" where you can control Samsung TVs via your phone.
MicroUSB to HDMI would be nice.
But don't you think it's weird ? I mean TV-out by two different connectors ?
Not at all - I like to call it "fully featured"
After taking the i9000 and Vibrant to bits, i know for a fact these 2 devices are using exactly the same parts to the chip and resistor level, except for the radio.
If the Vibrant has it, the i9000 has it. (and vice versa)
Didn't take apart the Captivate yet, but i bet it's also identical.
I'd take the plunge and buy the cable to report to everyone, but it's not available in my country.
Anyone felling like taking one for the team?

I sent a direct message on twatter to @samsungesteban (sp?), and he said that he'll find out if it's supported.

I love my Galaxy S, but this is a bit disappointing.
I was hoping for something that would push the bar - like a 4" Super AMOLED with a dual-core processor or something nuts like the N1 was over it's generation.
On the bright side, it does show that the Android lineup is a lot stronger than it was before.
it could also mean that well get a stock rom build that could prolly be easily be ported over easily to ours?
Yeah... I'm hoping this means we'll actually get timely updates in the future.

This. This could be the single best thing if the ROMs can be easily ported and Google is in charge of software updates like they were with the Nexus One.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
this is one of the worst ... i dont know if i should even call it an article, but just so we can reference to it properly we will.
first, googles nexus one was very innovative, it showed a real and true glimpse into the future. for the second one there is no way they will take a step back and use some current hardware that has already been out for a while.
this is my opinion of what i believe is in the best interest of google.
so to pick on the article a little bit.
they keep refering back to the galaxy s line, which according to the "article" the only thing that was similar between them was how they looked, it says specifically that they had no idea what it had inside of it lol.
it states that the "nexus 2" was far less impressive than the n1, so what are they going by to support this statement? how it looked (opinion) and what they guess is inside of it? furthermore he didnt even know what kind of screen it had on the outside, he thinks it is an oled 4"... but not really sure, but one thing is for sure, it is "flat"

galaxy s with AOSP gingerbread and google rolling out updates every month? amazing.
If the Nexus 2 is a rebadged and tweaked Galaxy S, then we have just been handed a great gift. Google and a significant portion of the android developer community will move on to our platform, and will tweak the device to their hearts desire. This means we will be at the front of the line to get any updates. And almost all new software will be compatible to our phones. Won't we love to be in the news as one of the first phones to get Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and IceCream, rather that the last ones to get Froyo.

My question is how the heck can you not be sure if you're looking at an oled screen??
I obviously can't speak for anyone else but I can usually tell within the first second of looking at a screen if it's oled or not... if you don't believe me try putting an iphone and a 'real' phone like the N1 or the captivate side by side, then have them play the same video.
this should end the GPS debate as well. if the nexus two uses our chip, we'll either get a soft fix or we'll know our hardware is defective. if it uses a different chip, we know ours is broken forever.
More info/confirmation from PCMag. Too bad no confirmation on the hardware part; other than how it looks...
FTA:
yes, Samsung is working on an unlocked Android device that looks like the one in Gizmodo's pictures. But it may not be called "Nexus Two," my sources said.

I for one dont care if the hardware was the same and the phone looked like that(most likely wont). As long as you give me stock Gingerbread Rom, no ATT crap and a working GPS, I will be picking one up.
Wish that they stuck with the Nexus 1 hardware and tweaked it. I love my phone... but why google is using Samsung is beyond me.
I wonder if Google did ANY research before signing the deal on this? Obviously they never looked on GOOGLE for issues with Samsung Galaxy S devices. Their marketing team should be drawn and quartered.
But... with all that being said - if Samsung is just pumping out the hardware and Google is the one providing the software without Sammy's thumb in the pie - it might be a halfway decent device.
Also.. was the lil tabby thing sticking out from the bottom of the phone?

I think that the point, at least for the majority of Captivate owners (are you not one yourself?) in this forum, is that when/if said phone is released, there won't be any need to buy it in order to get the stock rom you're referring to, as it would most likely be easily ported over to the Captivate.

We won't know until it is released and the custom ROM developers can get their hands on the source.

I understand and do own a cappy, but that would take time and I dont like to wait.
When I had my N1 before I played with my brothers Captivate there was no wait for a new ROM and I loved it. Unfortunately, the N1 was slow compared to the Captivate and I switched.

Keyboard? Nothing I've read on this rumored handset says anything about it including a hardware keyboard (if that's indeed what you're implying)... Have you read something I haven't?
Just speculation but maybe this is why samsung is taking their sweet time getting froyo out. Possibly getting gingerbread ready for this and other galaxy s devices?
It seems like Near Field Communications (NFC) is going to be the next big sensor for portable devices. Is there any way to retrofit NFC to a device or does it need to to be on-board (literally).
It requires hardware we don't have.
This doesn't belong in accessories , please post questions in Q & A from now on.

Good to see there will be an accessory to bring this capability to our phones, even if it is in the future. (I don't live in salt lake city so no NFC here yet anyway.)

This is a development forum, 90% of anything discussed here isn't available yet.
As I understand it NFC will be supported natively in Gingerbread, which is in the works for the Epic right now. As far as the hardware goes, there are cradles or adapters available for some phones right now to support NFC. Since Sprint announced recently they will be making a big push this year for NFC, I would expect they would release an NFC adapter for many of their phones.
Yeah........ I do live in SLC... and I'm not looking forward to NFC.
Anything that increases the ease of transferring sensitive personal information or money to random people worries me.
Look at all the security holes RFID has.
I can't see this taking off for at least another year and by then I hope to be looking at what new phones are available. Bought a G1 on launch and I've learned my lesson in early adopting.

It's right there engraved on the back.
So, should I be holding Google partially responsible for ripping me off when I purchased this phone? That back cover logo, and the fact that it denotes a "pure Android experience" is one of the bigger reasons I chose this phone.
Obviously LG is most culpable for the poorly written software, and it was T-Mobile who actually took my money, but what is Google's responsibility in this mess? Are there any checks or qualifications that need to be met before the Google logo can be applied? If there are qualifications, did LG meet them in this case?
Am I going to experience this with my next Android purchase, or can I trust that "with Google™" logo?
Just thinking out loud...
I like where you're going with this.
From what I can tell the "With Google" designation means pretty much nothing.
See here:
http://www.google.com/phone/
And here:
http://www.androidguys.com/2010/09/30/google-phone-gallery-launches/
I agree....although if it's supposed to be a "pure android" experience then losing the Lg Camera app brings us closer to that gesture (I don't need pure and I loved the Lg camera app). I also wonder if the Lg camera app utilizes any Nvidia drivers. If so, maybe Nvidia should claim a piece of the blame pie too. I imagine their deal with LG to get their tegra chipset in the phone included supporting the software and harness the dual-core processor.
I also wonder about the definition of Gingerbread. Is a skin over top the old code all that's necessary?
The inclusion of Nvidia in this inquiry is also valid point. I don't think anyone should be let off the hook.

And? The kernel stays the same, yes, but that definitely does not mean that the Gingerbread update is 'just a skin'. There are a ton of underlying changes to the actual Android framework that are completely independent of the kernel.

I never said it was "just a skin", not sure why that is in quotes. I'm just wondering if there is a standard that must be met, and if so has LG met that standard here.
The GB on my G2X does not seem to be as feature complete as the GB on my N1. At what point does it become Google sanctioned Android 2.3.3?

Google holds no blame here. Android is open source, leaving manufacturers to mess it up all they want. "With Google" doesn't mean much, my understanding is that means the phone was developed with input/approval from them.
To a previous poster, a phone has Gingerbread when it is built on the Android 2.3 base. Manufacturers can strip and change it all they want, but if it's 2.3, it's gingerbread.

Google should hold their manufacturers more accountable to release updates in a timely manner. Rumor is they will.
Ultimately, it is LG's fault. T-Mobile is just an accomplice to the situation. T-Mobile doesn't develop software, LG does that. T-Mobile is responsible for our happiness in this situation and can directly rectify any issues (money back, new phone, etc).
The only negative implications Google can receive is eventually a bad name. I do believe they will soon be forcing manufacturers to release updates more efficiently than they have. Otherwise, it will start hurting them.
But to blame Google would be silly. They release new software, the manufacturers tinker with it for their needs. Our sister phone, the G2, has nowhere near the problems we have. Why? Because HTC does a better job with their developing. Plain and simple.
Blaming Google in this situation would be like blaming Bosch instead of Volkswagen because your car is running horribly.

There are solid Android devices too. Perfect? No. Solid? Yes. The reason iPhones don't have as many s/w issues is the OS is locked down like Fort Knox. That's what MS is trying to emulate with WP7. Personally, I'd take a bit of s/w wonkiness in order to be able to customize my phone the way I want to.

Agreed, it's the end implementation that matters, and in this case that product came from LG/Tmobile. Nvidia and Google both delivered components that have been proven in many devices yet this one is uniquely full of issues.
LG/Tmobile are the ones to get pissed at for whatever issues you have with your G2x.

The Bosch / VW analogy doesn't really work here. If the Bosch logo were prominently displayed on the car's exterior, and the Bosch components were fundamentally responsible for the car's basic configuration and capabilities then maybe you would have a point.
I'm not blaming Google so much as I am taking them to task for allowing their logo to be displayed on a poorly executed product. Make no mistake, the appearance of that logo greatly influenced my decision to purchase this defective product. The other point that should not be misunderstood by anyone involved is that this does in fact influence future purchasing decisions and brand loyalties in a negative way from Google's perspective.
So, to recap, here are two simple facts...
1. The LG G2x is a troubled product, with a higher than average for the industry percentage of unhappy owners.
2. Google's name is on it.
Edit: I'll put it another way... I can't blame Google for LG's incompetence, but I can at least partially blame Google for duping me into buying this defective phone.
Here's some quotes from tonight's/today's press conference:
"Galaxy Nexus has no buttons and the physical / capacitive keys have been turned into 'virtual buttons' within the OS"
"The hardware works in concert with the OS. They were designed to work together."
"Android 4.0 ICS is "specifically designed" to work with 720p as its native resolution."
So, since the SGS2 has physical/capacitive buttons, wasn't designed to work with the OS, and doesn't support 720p, what makes us think it will (officially) get ICS?
You do point some vaild points in not getting it officially. But we could always tweak the source code to get in unofficially anyways. Software is software, a text file, it's not ike hardware where you have to change a resistor or something.
ANyways I don't think samsung will not deliver us ICS, they might simply just tweak it for us to work.
You honestly believe every device in near future will have no physical buttons ? and ICS will be limited only to high end devices ?
If 720p is going to be standard, that makes it really hard to do phones with smaller size screens though.
I wonder whats going to happen to ui customization. Is it going to be purer Google now?

Don't shoot the messenger. The quotes are from Google execs. I have no idea what the answers to your questions are but if you take what was said literally then the issue of ICS on legacy devices remains to be answered. That's why I brought it up for discussion. 45% of Android devices are still running Froyo so limiting ICS to specific devices doesn't seem out of the question. And based on the resources required by the OS, there has to be a line drawn somewhere anyway. Hell, the HTC Desire barely got GB.

Sorry to say this but do you really thing Samsung will bring ICS as-it-is?
I mean I hope Samsung does not bring ICS as it-is, since there is HUGE difference between SGS launchers, UI and all other stuff compared to original Gingerbread already.
I really did not find ICS as "change the world" thing, but least, it is something new

Apparently Google + has hangouts/video so I guess thats why they are taking video call out of google talk, maybe integrating with google +
I dont see, Any reason Galaxy S II wont get ICS Update .... !!!
Galaxy Nexus Hardware wise similar to Galaxy S II ... Only Screen Resolution and Virtual Button is the diff.
However, That does not mean, GS II wont get it ... Stop thinking that we wont be having it...
Start thinking that , how much of ICS Feature sammy will give us...thats more inp.

This is marketing talk for Galaxy Nexus, you cannot draw the conclusion that it won't support older units or smaller displays from this.
Especially since Google said today that Nexus S will get ice cream...
nexus s is inferior to galaxy s according to HW side.. soo galaxy s II will obviously get ICS ..samsung wont make a mistake like not providing their best selling device getting ICS..
if they dont provide the devs will make us one.. coz there're 10million s2 users out there..
and all the brightest developers own a s2 coz this is simply the best phone
