Okay so not exactly. Just couldn't think of a better subject line.
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.

What are the two boxes next to the speaker on the front of the phone?

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

Yep, just what he said. They also serve as proximity sensors when you put the phone to your ear.

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.

Hey guys. I have gotten alot from this website so I would like to give back. I own and operate a mobile phone repair shop and would like to extend my services to this forum. Most of you seem pretty techical so even if you just want the part (microphone, ear speaker, Loud speaker, LCD) I will provide it for you at a low cost plus shipping of course. I mostly deal with hardware issues so please don't PM me or post asking about software, I am a total noob when it comes to that!
Thanks again to all the rom builders and contributers who have helped make my phone awsome!
If you can source the vibrate motor for an HTC S710 I would be forever grateful. Where abouts are you located?
EDIT: I see you're in Phoenix.
Most of the parts I carry are for US released HTC phones but often they carry simular parts. If you can post a picture of what it looks like I'll see if I have a match.
I will upload a picture in a little bit, however here are the specifications from the HTC Vox Service Manual for the motor;
JT0406-30CSR1, JNTECH, Cylindrical, 3V, 100mA, 12000+/-3000 rpm, 60/-, 20degC, 11.2*5.1*5.8mm
The cylinder has J7D05 printed on it and has 2 prongs that make contact to the pad on the PCB. I've tried many different other motors but none of them physically fit in the spot. So if you have any motor rated to those specs and is smaller or equal to the dimensions above, I will take it.
Here are two pictures of it. They are quite large, so not inlined. Not my camera, one of those funky digital ones that I have no idea how to adjust the focus on.

A friend of mine has an O2 XDA Orbit but the usb works for charging but not for the data link.
Is this fixable? and if so, do you perform the fixes !!!!
@pna
I had the same problem with my Dash/Excalibur. I had to turn off the USB charging feature in the settings and then the data worked fine. I just either turn it back on if I need to charge via USB on my PC and don't have a wall charger handy. Tell your friend to try that.

Also Turn off Advanced Network Functionality to along with charging over USB.

If the pins in the socket look straight re-flow the solder on the mainboard or get someone to do it. It's fairly easy. New sockets are about $4 on fleabay but as there are multiple lines close together you do need skill to replace.

Right on! I have been wanting to replace the metal bezel that goes around the front of the AT&T 8525 (U.S. HTC Hemes). Mine has gotten quite scratched and scuffed over the last year, and I would love to have it returned to it's original clean, shiny look.
Do you happen to carry this part by any chance? Or know of an affordable place to obtain one?

better value IMO.
Yes. We've got software support and now hardware support. This thread needs to be stickied.
I went on HTC's website and the dimensions changed, now it says its 16.65 mm thick, before it said it was like 17.1 mm thick, does this mean that other spec changes could happen too? (Well actually they probably could but I doubt they will) But its still great that its a little thinner now, now its thinner than a G1 or Xperia X1
Clove's description says it has FM tuner, I hope this is correct.
Well at least it's something positive
HTC's website says its only 16.65 mm thick, but where they are selling it on Clove, it says 17.25 mm thick. Which one to believe....
16.65, 17.25mm. Does 0.6mm really matter?
True enough HTC has changed it's specs. Thinner is better of course. That is 0.6mm thinner. Will that be because they took the Radio Chip out? That is a bad trade off if it is. 0.6mm is not really noticeable.

LOL now that you mention it, that is probably why its thinner
I would much rather have it be the same thinness as before and have a radio than to make it a little thinner and to lose such a nice feature, maybe other than the fact that it saves them money they did it to even out the diamond 2 and it a little.

I saw that photo before and it was posted after our discovery about the change of sepcs on HTC's website. The photo was a relief but no one else have proven the radio afterward. But I hope that photo was correct by any means.
should be receiving mine tomorrow with luck, just received shipping notification, and as i'm so excited i probably won't sleep i'll do tomorrows work tonight and then get to play all day i'll let you know what i can find on it.
Well no radio so far found, the stylus has a distinct metal feel to it and the device does turn on when you take it out.
So far i am very impressed the grill onthe back i guess is for battery cooling as the speakers are only at the top , g-sensor all works fine and stuff unfortuntly am connecting to internet via work currently so can't post pictures or anything but if anyone has any requests for info i will check as often as i can.

pretty sure that .3mm measurement difference is just an error. there is zero reason why samsung would make one phone wider or slimmer... the vibrant even shares the chassis with the i9000... the forward facing camera hole is even present.

The captivate is the most unique Galaxy S phone in terms of appearances, the Vibrant is one of the phones that is pretty much alike to the I9000 aside from the 4 keys and a front camera.
The captivate's method of taking it off is different as well.

says its not compatible with vibrant, i would assume if i9000 and vibrant shared exact same battery cover, then this would fit, meaning the one you purchased would fit too. since this doesn't, maybe the listing you showed won't either?
ps... why does it say unlocked i9000 only, what does being locked or unlocked have anything to do with a physical battery cover?

So I don't know how many people is late for the FFC party. I didn't jump on the bandwagon at the time because I didn't see a need for it. However now when Skype is supporting video calling and other fun things you can do with the camera in ICS, I wanted to get one. However when going to www.globaldirectparts.com now it will tell you that they only sell to repair companies and such and not for individual use. So I went and looked somewhere else and run into these guys on Amazon. I haven't got it yet but I ordered it today. But it is a rev2 so hoping that it will turn out good.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KEQWS0/ref=ox_ya_os_product
So if anyone else is in the same boat where you just now want to get a FFC this seems to be a good deal. Just below $15.
Update: New link and it says it is a rev2 Whole Sale Gadget Camera (Revision 2) for Samsung i9000 Galaxy S
So I emailed Whole Sale Gadget and they said they only carry rev2 so that is what I will be expecting.
Update: So I got two cameras. One to replace the other. They both said Rev2 on them however the first one did not have a working front facing camera, and the second one the back end camera had a big green hue with a small area in the middle that looked normal. New area I am looking at is http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-camera-with-flex-cable/
Does anyone have experience with this company?
I believe that one is ver 1 though, some said amazon ships out v2 as well but not all. V2 is supposedly significantly better than v1. Just a heads up.

Looks like your chances of getting a v2 from that Amazon vender is 50/50.
Remembering another thread, two guys received a v1 but then were sent v2s when they complained. One fellow and myself were sent v2s at first.

I haven't yet. I did email them and they said it is the stock rev2 camera. They also said that they have many customers ordering from the USA. Maybe if we pool together so we don't have to spend the huge amount of shipping individually. I don't know. The Amazon guys burned me twice with their useless cameras. Although they had very good customer service and not sure how I ended up with the two malfunctioning ones.

I haven't yet. I did email them and they said it is the stock rev2 camera. They also said that they have many customers ordering from the USA. Maybe if we pool together so we don't have to spend the huge amount of shipping individually. I don't know. The Amazon guys burned me twice with their useless cameras.

I'd be down to get in on this
I've been wanting to get a FFC for a while now, but I'm running ICS passion, and if ffc doesn't work with it, then it is pointless...
So I discovered this awesome thing called the GameKlip which is basically lets you mount your phone above a bluetooth PS3 controller and use it for gaming.
Check out the site here: http://thegameklip.com/
And here's the official XDA thread in the S3 forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760595
One problem though: Each GameKlip is device specific, and right now they have one for the Galaxy S3 and pretty much every Galaxy S2 version EXCEPT the T-989. I contacted the creator, Ryan French, and he said that he can make a model of the GameKlip for the T-989 IF he gets enough demand from us.
If you are interested take a moment and contact Ryan through Facebook https://www.facebook.com/GameKlip or Twitter http://twitter.com/GameKlip and ask about making the GameKlip for our device, and hopefully we can get enough support because this is awesome and any gamer out there can agree, we want this for our phone.

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4303&idPhone2=4129 It looks like you're correct, but have you actually tried the t989 in the Skyrocket gameclip? The corners are shaped somewhat differently and that's where it grips the phone.
Just posted on the facebook saying I would buy one if he made one for the T989. Hopefully more will do the same because I would love to have it.
I ordered one last night so I will try to remember to come back to comment on the fit. I think I read our phone might be 1mm taller and wider which hopefully shouldn't matter.

Does it fit?

Sorry, been busy but I have good(ish) news!
Not sure how it is supposed to fit on the skyrocket, but it does fit acceptably on the hercules. I say that because you do sort of have to "pop" it into place, but it's just a tiny bit of force that is probably supposed to be there to keep it in place. The back does bow a little, but that might be rather intentional. Any way, long story short, it fits! It might not be perfect, but it's not bad enough to even hint at it not working (at least not that I have noticed yet).
