Does anyone know where I could find a pin configuration chart for the display cable inside the uni?
I know its adventurous but I wouldnt mind making a monitor out!

Yes, i'm also things about that, but now don't have too much free time to play with it
Come on people does anyone know?
Or is this gonna be a long week with the multimeter and a few books!
SD to VGA adapter maybe??
I saw in one of the Windows mobile magazines that they make SD to VGA adapters. It mentioned that there was a microSD version soon to be released, and that there was a bluetooth product as well.

If memory serves me correctly the Universal was original sold with an optional TV/VGA out cable. It may be worth posting on the HTC forum itself or digging around. I am pretty sure that it was only the first few G3 devices that were advertised as having these cables, but have had a dig around myself last year for these to no avail.

Interest information, do you know more details about that
Wow, that sounds kewl, might have to email HTC.
The only info I could find on this is whats in the Wiki anyways
The touch-screen controller given shows the pin-outs which should tell us the touch-screen pin-config'.
I've given up on this anyway so I turned my camera into a nightvision camera really easy to do!

Share more details, I too was playing before with camera and IR leds
sorry this will be mega rushed just realised im still in my pjs and gotta be at work soon!
Basically you dissasemble to PDA as shown in the wiki, then take apart camera base, behind it there should be a coloured filter (IR filter) take it out and replace with two really dark things (like the begining of a negative) then put together and take pictures in the dark whilst pushing a button on a remote control i will make a proper how to do thingy when im home tonight!
Bye for now!
IR Camera
Right first of all I think I tried it with my Uni and couldn't suss how to get to the IR filter but I tried it on my Nokia and its working like a charm!
1: Take apart the phone,
2: Uncouple camera,
3: Using a knife prise the four corners of the circuit board off the base of the camera (make sure you only go about 1mm in MAX! Also make sure you remember which way round it goes ),
4: Unscrew the lenses off the front,
5: Punch out the IR filter, this should be the slightly coloured one usually red (or find a way to take it out properly if you wanna keep it but mine was glued on),
6: Find an old photo album and take the negatives, look for the first part where it is just pure black (no pictures) and cut two circles out of it to place where the IR filter was, (this will be your visable light filter),
7: Reassemble,
8: Go somewhere dark and use a remote control as a light source and take photos!

yea i read it too...oh wait i think i remember where i read it....in the development n hacking section....they talked bout it...i think u can still buy those optional TV/VGA but the only problem is that u cant use the sd therefore u have to use the main memory which is not enough...

thanks to everyone who has tried to help me I hope I've paid back with the
IR camera trick lol!
Hello people, iv just recently got my self a G1 to replace my Dash and would now like to ask every one some ideas what to do with it. Like many of you i have a special place in my heart for my Dash so i dont want to stick it in a drawer and forget about it, so what do you all say?
Free is best, open source is better, and no phone service is a must.
Webcam was first thought but so far iv only found one program to do that and its a pay app and the camera on the dash just isnt up to par, at least in the app i used (Webcam Plus).
how about you start porting **** from that android device onto your dash and making it work that would be a marvelous thing for you to do with your dash... orrrr you could mail it to me. and i'll mail you a 115 dollar check and we call it even i could always use a spare
gps..
video games..
Well this topic seems like a very good reason for starting a new thread....yeah....don't be afraid to read through some threads...there are plenty of dodads you can put on ur phone to make it do stuff
GPS, WifiRouter, Control PC through WIFI/Bluetooth, security webcam, etc

Here is an accessory for the iPhone 3gs that projects a mirrored image of what's in front of the iPhone to the rear camera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFuv4sjMtn0
http://playmass.com/en/iseeutime.asp
Of course my first thought was whether or not it would fit on our captivates. Seems less deadly than the hack I saw awhile back where someone put a Galaxy S replacement front facing camera in their captivate.
link for the captivate/i9000 ffc?? I have only seen it in the Vibrant (which worked really well)
and thats actually not a half bad idea for the mirror thing. I mean really, people don't use the ffc that much anyway, so for the few times u do use it, this would probably work just fine.
Link to the website
Here is the website URL for the product. Hope someone tries this looks like it will work just fine!

There is no Captivate FFC - The i9000 was born with it - just find the product spec page.
I just can't imagine carrying around a mirror accessory just to video chat - if you want a FCC, but a phone that does it.

Those are specialized thermal osmosis transmission ports for connecting the Captivate to an external flux capacitor, in case your Mr Fusion goes bad.

Some people are modding Vibrants (which do not come with a FFC) with the i9000 FFC or the Epic4G FFC.
Also "buy a phone that does it" is hardly a solution seeing as how there are so few out. AT&T only offers one, and it's the iPhone. Sprint has the other two, and obviously are not compatible for the AT&T network. That only leaves the i9000 but buying it straight up is rather costly, whereas T-mo people who do the FFC mod spend $16 (yes, the camera assembly for the i9000 is that cheap).
I'd also be interested in seeing it done for the Captivate.

do you know how to read??
I know the i9000 has a ffc, but if you read the original post, he claims someone hacked up a captivate with the i9000 ffc. I simply asked for a link.
alright lets straighten this out
Without any proof of concept for a FFC for the captivate i am calling it BS or not possible. We have exhausted this to no end in the Dev. forum in about 6 different threads and there just isnt a spot for the FFC to sit. If you look at the tear town pictures of the captivate v.s. the i9000 you will see that there FFC and back camera have two different mounting spots. Unfortunately for us there is only 1 mounting spot and its taken up by the main camera. to get the FFC in the captivate you would have to buy the part and then tear apart the guts of the wiring and re wire it so it would be able to literally be soldered on the back of the main camera, then hope you were good enough with that soldering gun to get it facing exactly right through the hole you would have had to scratch or dissolve out of the black in the front of you phone.
Like I said I am more than willing to see some proof and be proved wrong but i imagine he is thinking of the Vibrant guys who also have two slots and have successfully gotten a i9000 FFC in their phones!
Done and Done.

Yeah buddy I can read.... and I said there is no FCC for the captivate (unless you count the one I posted)... there is no room inside or connection on the board. Just because someone claims to have seen something, doesn't make it so. There are links to BigFoot and Nessie on the internet too.
This idea has been around since the captivate launched.

You people have no creativity. Thats why i like the vibrant forum. People around are all "you cant" and "buy a phone that does" "and it would de-value" blah blah. There is no reason it cant be done. If it works on a vibrant a similar mod should work on a captivate. I know the vibrant has the mount built in. But thats hardly a dificult obstacle. I had know idea the camera is that cheap and i may just buy one to prove a point to the naysayers.
Also the mirror thing has been disgussed and i wouldnt use it. It looks silly. Id rather harware brick my phone in an atempt to preform the mod than be seen with that thing. But i dont discorage others from using it

Connection may be different, but could it be customized or modded to work? Little more solder, epoxy, jb weld, maybe even built-in usb and a switch, who knows? Haven't taken mine apart to check it out in the week I've had it.
I was wondering if you can put in NFC into your phone like open it up and install the chip or whatever. Or like be able to plug it on to your phone thru the charger port. I also heard that SD-cards that can connect to wifi can that apply with NFC. if my question is stupid and ignorant feel free to say so. I dont want to impose or be a stupid noob.
Thank you.

No, you can't. There are some memory cards with integrated NFC, but they're very low storage capacity (1 or 2GB).

This is a cool feature but as a must-have for a phone? I don't know...
NFC is Near Field Communication right?
Thought it could be used for bluetooth alternative also.
(like phone to phone etc....)
Would love to have, but Desire S doesnt have it.
just wondering, whats the good side of NFC? i only see that as a battery drainer..
Even if you managed to add an NFC radio to your phone, you won't get it to work with google wallet due to the lack of a so called "secure element" which secures the transactions.
http://translate.google.com/transla...overca-presenta-in-italia-la-sua-sim-nfc-347/
They're going to implement that into SIM cards, many (most?) phones have one. Don't know about Google compatibility though, they talk about Mastercard standards.
After reading about NFC sim cards a few months ago I asked T mobile(UK) if they are going to be getting NFC sim cards any time soon, and the guy behind the till looked at me as if I was on crack
IMHO, the best implementation for this on a phone that does not have NFC pre-installed would be from the battery. It requires a hard connection to the circuitry to be powered...the easiest way to do that would be with an nfc-capable battery. The only pitfalls to this would be expensive replacements, slightly decreased battery life and possibly 1-2mm extra thickness to the battery itself. I think a ton of people would gladly take those small caveats to have NFC on a phone that shouldn't.

so i think that the third party companies should work on this for say like extended batteries... and provide a market link or add a market app that would give the nfc chip in the battery to work as an example or a dev do so to make the google wallet to think it is a valid phone with use and nfc chip...

You can't use Google Wallet with phones that don't have it built in period. There's more than the NFC. There's a chip called a Secure Element that's separate and stores all of the information for cards, etc. The phone either comes with it or it doesn't.
Also for phones with batteries that have an NFC chip in them, that's just an antenna for the chip inside the phone. It does nothing in a non-NFC phone.

Everyone in my house recently switched over to the Galaxy Note 2. We love the phones, but for some reason, I got stuck with a defective s-pen.
My stylus doesn't do the same basic functions as the others, such as screen capture, quick commands, etc. On the other hand, it can do things the other pens can't, such as swipe between screens while hovering an inch above the glass and open apps, links, etc. by clicking the pen button while hovering an inch above the glass.
I love the bonus features, but the lack of basic features makes it unusable. After some research, I found all the guides to adjusting the potentiometer. I popped the button off the s-pen to adjust the little screw...and it's not there!
Here's a pic comparing everything: http://imgur.com/a/pm7EE
So...any help? Has anyone run into this before? Is there any way to fix this? I bought the phones used, so maybe this stylus is 3rd party?
I'm guessing that I can't swap this out via warranty now that I popped it open, so any help fixing is much appreciated!
The pens arent locked to a specific device. Try one of the others and see if it gets normal functionality. Otherwise you can buy a new one for 20-30$

I've actually tried all the pens on all the devices. Two of them do all the expected functions, while the one is okay for clicking links and such, but it won't do screen shots, quick command, etc. The thing where I can use it to swipe between screens or click links without even touching the screen is cool, though, so I was hoping I'd be able to get it to work and have the best of both worlds.

Come to think of it it sounds like the tip button is stuck in. Try pushing the tip in on one of the regular ones with a piece of tape or something and ill bet you get the same functionality as the messed up one. So maybe try putting the tip in rubbing alcohol or something to get it unstuck

The tip seems to work fine, and taping in the tips on the others doesn't replicate the issues. For example, taping up the tip on a normal one doesn't make it so that I can swipe pages and open links without even touching the screen. Plus, this still wouldn't explain why the inside components are different.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I haven't seen 3rd party units that are branded as Samsung before, so I was hoping I could figure out a way to keep the extra features and restore the basic functions. Oh well!
