Ok my dear fellow users, here´s the thing, since the guys from Game Gripper aren't interest in adapting their product to our devices, I figured out it's time for a different approach, this, is the GameKlip:
This is what I've send to the guy who made this little piece of magic:
Hi, my name is Santiago Console, I’m a Captivate Glide user and an active participant of the XDA Forum dedicated to the development for this phone. A few month’s back, we gathered a bunch of request, from people who were trying to make this guys:
http://www.game-gripper.com/
Adapt their product to our phone, for some reason, they didn’t bother, even after we gather more people than the D3 Community, and that guys ended up getting it. That aside, will you be interested in adapting the GameKlip to our phone ? I can assure you, that, at least, you will sell 30 units, right after you set up the pre-order J
To know the dimensions and the shape of our phone, you can look into this page:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i927_captivate_glide-4071.php
Thanks, and I hope you can make this happen
END OF THE E-MAIL
He answered that if get's enough requests, he will make a GameKlip for the Glide and, come on, there's a lot of pros about this thing:
1) If you already have a PS3 Controller, you don't have to spend a lot of cash to play like a real Gamer on your device.
2) You can take advantage of the Glide's OTG functionality.
3) It's only a "Clip", so it's not like it's going to broke, get lost, or anything XD
So, the idea it's the same as with the GameGripper request before, so, please, If you have some time, and want to have this "Clip" available for the Glide, take a few minutes, and write an E-Mail to the creator, and tell hin that, If he makes it, you will buy it. His E-Mail is [email protected]
You can learn more about the GameKlip here:

Thanks for letting me know about this, filled out a request.
What happens if you try to purchase the "Phone Only" on the Rogers web site?
http://goo.gl/Kgbkq
After putting in your credit card #, can you have it sent to Argentina?
I filled out a form as well. It would be great to have this accessory for the phone.

I was thinking about this, maybe I can even make Rogers send it to my courrier on the US, it's there any custom taxes for sending something from Canada to US ? Because if it is, then, I would just make my courrier pick it up directly from Rogers, it would be a little more expensive, but, safest as well.
And, about the thread, keep going, Game Gripper for the Glide it's possible, we just have to make sure that people over GG know that there's a lot of customers willing to pay for this device.
I like the iControlPad personally, it has 2 analog sticks that are great to use, but will request this for you guys anyways!

Thanks About the iControlPad, yeah, it's kinda better, but also it's 10 times more expensive, also, what's the point having a device with a physical keyboard if we use a BT Joystick ?

Doesn't matter Thanks for the support, and, let me add, the ICP it's a great device, but it's more convenient for devices without an actual Keyboard
Just emailed them for a Request as well. I should be getting my Glide next week.
JB
Bump !!!!!
Done! How many submissions are they supposed to get before they consider doing it?
Maybe it's time to face the reality, we are not going to get the Game Gripper for the Glide, also, with MOGA around the corner, I would discourage anyone who's considering to buy the iControlPad, because, no mather how expensive the MOGA could be, It can't be very far from the iControlPad's price, also, it has better materials, and support from the big fishes like EA and Gameloft.
Farewell Game Gripper, you had your chance, and you lost it.

Yeah, I was also thinking about that, but aparently Moga it's having some trouble with the compatibily, and now the guys are telling us that in order to work with the Moga every f*cking game we used to play has to be re-writed, sorry, but for me, that's a deal breaker, I want the biggest compatibility list posible.

I changed my HTC device with an Apple Iphone..the major thing I miss is the XDA developers forum ... In the future can we (about 5000k people..) at least hope to have one ? cheers....
probably not, this forum is for ms pda's (mainly htc), notice not much talk of palm devices either you'll probably have to find other forums that discuss the iphone cuz ive noticed not many people on this forum even like the word iphone unless its getting bashed. so good luck but i wouldnt look forward to it
I heard Apple is releasing the dev kit for the iPhone...so people can start writing their own apps for the phone. Also heard something about being able to run webapps offline.
I'm sure the iPhone forums will take off as soon as people start developing for the iPhone.
yeah it's true. tomorrow for the devkit !
If it's not made by HTC you won't get it through the door. There'll be sites-a-pleanty once a devkit is out but probably none as good as this. I wonder if Apple will set about having them shut down? You can't have people using their own property for anything they want you know.....
another issue is that apple use objectC rather then c++ or c# or even old c or poorly VB
and objectC is a world apart from the other languages

This is really an HTC only forum.
Sorry to plug, but forums.macrumors.com has a pretty good iPhone/iPhone Hacking Community.
Hey!
A little Definion about "XDA":
"The [O2] Xda brand is a range of O2-branded Windows Mobile PDA phones, produced by multiple manufacturers (mainly HTC, Quanta and Erima). The first model was released in June 2002. The "X" represents convergence of voice and information/data within one product; the "da" stands for "digital assistant", as in PDA."
I think this forum should be specified in Windows Mobile. The iPhone isn't a productively device on the market! And the people who buy this expensive "Fun-Gadget" doesn't use it to develop something on it.
"The iPhone is a dust-bin: It can look beautiful, but the contents are rubbish."

What part of the contents are rubbish? Just wondering becuase I just got a good deal on a 16gb and I cant find flaws. BTW, I purchased it to resell it becuase it was way too cheap. Not to mention, it would give me a chance to see what all the hype was about. Let me tell you...I know why so many devs on xda are trying to emulate some of the features and charecteristics of the iphone. Bcuase it is the best phone/handheld device that I have ever played with.
In my idea, not to go into all of the greatness of the iphone in my opinion, but if I can buy a 16gb for $400 (unlocked to use with any gsm carrier), $5.99 T-ZOne hack and many other cool things like SNES, NES with each having about 100 or so games etc. and the abilty to add 12 movies and over 700 songs and still have over 7gb to play with and still running like lightning.......my mind is made up.
DOnt let me forget about the accelorometer and the games that are available that utilize the accelorometer.
Please tell me where the rubbish is.
Oh and BTW, I am locked in my Verizon contract for another couple of months on my 6700 so I cant %100 test the calling capabilities yet as I have not hooked this one up.
Hei, and BRAVO to the brilliant minds out there for creating so manny programs, and apps for us with non develloper skils at all. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
My request is for a PS3 remotecontrol for use on dvd ore blueray playback.
Mabye allonge the same lines as Gremote, but via bluetooth.
I do belive it should be possible, and I would deffenetly donate for something like that.
Thanks again guys, and keep up the fantastic work.
chriss66
something defo worth paying for!
No intention in bringing your hopes down, however the same talk has circulated the forums for the Wii and 0 progress has been made on it. Maybe if there is more interest in the PS3, it'd be possible but it seems like it's a tough task.
I'm not sure but does wii support bluetooth and at the end of the day ps3 is more being refered to as a super computer so i'm sure working with hardware like that would be alot easier than the wii but this is only an assumption.
an app like that for the ps3 would be awesome!!! if the great minds of xda could cook something i def buy not only a beer but a case
It would help if there was a total amount donated (or willing to donate) in the first post. That way a developer would know how much this project is worth to them.
as much as i'd love this this, the request/idea has been around for a long time without progress..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347772
but if it can be done on a blackberry there doesn't seem to be any reason why it can't be done on winmo:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/10/unify4lifes-blackberry-products-demoed-at-ces/
I Dont need the hole keybord, typing meseges thing, just som simple play, pause, skip, etc, etc.
And i don't think u have to do ennything with the ps3, just a ""simple"" prog fore the phone. Butt, then again, I'm no develloper
This sounds very interesting. Im ashamed to say but I've always been to tight to pay out for the remote as I just dont want to add yet another remote control to library of remotes. And this would give me the remote I would love to have without adding to the collection!
Would there be a way to use the standard keyboard thats on windows mobile and maybe add the play and stop buttons to the application itself. Might not be able to be done but I dont know how to program these things, just an idea.

i would drop in $60US towards the cause. it really would be a cool program to have. hopefully we can have a few more people make some donation's and maybe some one out there would take up the challenge.
50 AUD for a working remote with WVGA portrait and landscape support.
A bluetooth keyboard for the PS3 like i used Pebbles on my Treo 650 to remote control the PC under the TV would also be cool. And worth some cash.
I would donate 10 dollars for a working remote for PS3
searching the net there seems to be alot of interest all across the board from ppc forums to ps3 forums. but heres something interesting i found a kind of hybrid wm cross psp.

Hello all. Unfortunately, I don't know if this game exists, but i want it so bad!! It's the fishing game from iphone. it is amazing! I think that is working with all accelerometer devices. I'm wondering if it is imported to windows mobile.

it may only be AVAILABLE on the iphone currently...
but there is nothing the game does making it not POSSIBLE on the HD.
we just need some clever devs to start making decent windows 3d & g-sensor based games.
The only way I can think about, is to programm all fast applications in java.
But I cant do that myself. And microsoft is not innovative enough at the moment. Also missing is the multitouch function. Cant be so heavy Bill
Show us the future as soon as possible or you will loose a lot customers
too bad then. it was so nice to be played on windows mobile that game.

Dunno if they ever will, I have considered writing games but my work will just get cracked and distributed, just look around at all the request for free games, serials, cracks. Why would I put my time into it? I have to feed a family with the time I got, I imagine other devs too.
how much can cost that game? I supose that few euros, and if you collect from each user, you can make few ones.

The thing is, some applications for the Iphone are only 0.50 $ up to 1.99$
at the moment it sounds not really much, but I would rather give up to 2 $ instead of spending hours looking for cracked warez software. And you would have millions of customers instead of just 1000 and than it is cracked
Nothing stopping any dev's taking donations for their hard work. Also, I know of one person who takes money for Security unlocking devices, though does offer it for free to people who have already donated to XDA or have added value to the site.
In theory this game could work for the HD, but would require a good bit of time to develop it. Maybe too much time for one person to set aside.

I agree with that. I'm one of that customers .
me too.i love that game
Mee to, i think if a guy able to wor it on htc hd have a lot donation
can someone provide us the game from iphone?
I found a few old (and dead) threads on the subject, but I wanted to start a new one now that there are a lot more Evo owners out there who may help keep this going. Feel free to bump this and maybe we can get some support from the devs by demonstrating this will be worth their while.
I have read that the phone was not loaded with a proper Bluetooth stack making the Evo incompatible with several Bluetooth devices out there; the PS3 being one of them. I don't know how accurate that is, or if there are more underlying issues which prevent my requests from being plausible. With that said, here is a list of things I would be interested in:
1) Instead of paying $20 for the Blu-Ray remote for the PS3, I'd rather pay for an app that can control the basic functions of the PS3's media player. Me, personally, I don't like using the PS3 controller for video playback AT ALL. Also, it'd be one less remote to have in the house if I can use my phone instead of Sony's remote.
2) Use my phone as a headset. I cannot stand having an earpiece or headphones on for longer than a few minutes. If I could just pair my phone to the PS3 with a speaker phone option during online gaming, that would be LOVELY.
3) The most obvious one is being able to use the phone as a keyboard instead of buying the keypad that attaches to the PS3 controller. I do have the keypad, but I would put it on eBay in a split second if I were able to do it with my phone.
I'm sure there are some other things people have thought of that would be handy. Feel free to PM me anything else you may want to be able to do and I will gladly add it to the OP. Hopefully there are enough people out there interested in this so as to warrant the devs taking the time to figure this out. Honestly, I do not have the time to maintain a bounty thread, and it is not my intention to start one. However, I will say that I will make a $50 donation to anyone who can get this to work, as that is how much the Blu-Ray remote and keypad cost me on eBay. I am confident that I will not be the only one who donates, but again, this is not a bounty thread and will not be treated as such. If you say you will donate and one of the devs comes through, please keep your word and make your donation.
Mods: My apologies if anything I posted here is outside of the guidelines of this forum; feel free to call me out on any changes I should make.
Thanks in advance to all the devs, mods and forum members for your support on this.

Our phones can already work as remotes for certain applications, which leads me to believe it can be done by someone with the knowledge and (more importantly) the drive. With apps like Gmote 2.0 already on the market, I don't see why not. I have a Samsung Bluetooth ear piece that pairs to my PS3, and it is 2-3 years old, at least. Why can't the phone do it?
Maybe an app isn't even necessary. Maybe it can be a flashable file that just adds Bluetooth info to whatever is on the phone.
I'm pretty sure this is possible. +1
Devs will correct me if I am wrong.
I love this idea. Id throw in 20 if its workable.
And another twenty if I could use my phone as a tv remote.

Well, now that a root method was found for Evoers with 2.2, maybe this thread will be more successful.
almost over a year old. Ill throw 10$ into a pool to get this working.
Donations is completed and supercurio has successfully received the phone and he is currently working on the kernel drivers for the fixes so stay tuned and make sure to fallow his twitter account for more updates. Thanks to everyone that donated and supported the thread. I'm pretty sure supercurio is also thankfull to you guys.
Use this thread to discuss about the fix and also to chit chat about anything related the screen problems on our SGH-T989.
i think you missed the point
Supercurio said Samsung should send him one, not us
he didn't ask us to pitch in for a device
he asked us to contact Samsung and have Samsung send him a device.

Note: I received a donation but when I tell "I don't have a device" the goal is not really to ask you to pay for it − especially since I have no idea if I'll get results eventually.
I firmly believe it's manufacturer's role to fix it. And the manufacturer here is Sam.. err no; it doesn't really works like that in the US. Manufacturer is T-Mobile.

I didn't not know about this sorry. I guess there is nothing wrong with the community to pitch in for a device....Samsung might not send him one. This is a heck of great community so I'm pretty sure we can all get him the device faster than Samsung.

Someone wants to organize this?
i vote for Surfacet to lead this, since he started this topic
The thing is I never done a thread like this before. This is my first thread ever on xda. This thread got sticked? I thought it got removed or something lol.
Lets see supercurio's response. I cant send him a message since he got it disabled

Contacting Samsung was kinda your idea...My idea was to make it a bounty and donate to him for the cause
Social media is a great medium.
Spam Samsung John and Carla anyone? Let's do it.
I'd be willing to donate. Just look how fast the other devs got their bounties, I bet we could get him one in two weeks or less.

Quick note: Galaxy S II audio hardware is not Voodoo Sound capable.
I work only on Super AMOLED plus, awaiting better quality audio chip in the future generations of devices (Voodoo Sound is still in development for supported devices)
Allgamer: if people want to raise funds to send me a device why not. It will always be soon enough to cancel the process if Tmo/Samsung does, and will also demonstrate users determination.
Feel free to contact Samsung reps but please avoid spamming them, it would be severely counter-productive.
As long as you are okay with that, then by all means lets turn this topic into an official [BOUNTY] for Mr. curio
WHERE DO WE DONATE?
The link in Sir Curio's signature is for donating to his Voodoo project, do we need another link for T989 screen issue only, for easier financial consolidation?
There should be another donation link but not sure if super has it or not. I'm waiting for him to give us the link to where to donate so I can put it on the OP.

As written in the bounty guidelines, I would suggest counting first and then, later, sending the donations.
Its easier than refunding everyone if its canceled for some reason
As I cannot buy this device in France, it would be pretty nice to choose a trusty well known peer who would receive the donations, buy the phone and post it (shipping costs about $35, something like that) in my direction.
I'm listening.
I own Gigahertz Computers in Warner Robins, GA. IV never done any business in the marketplace here but I have an associate with a tmo sgs2 for $400 that is new (opened and played with but spotless and is in the box with receipt where he paid full retail from a walk-in tmo store 2 weeks ago. I have a PayPal account and would be more than happy to take on the responsibility of taking the donations and getting SC the device. I have an eBay account with 44 recent transactions (mostly phones) that is spotless everybody can checkout. Mountdenizen is the screen name. My business is a Mac / mobile device service and support shop and the eBay transactions have been done because of it. Allgamer, I'm not real sure how this all works but IV seen the thread for awhile now and have seen people talking about starting a pot for the device... just thought we may need to take the bull by the horns here. I in no way feel special or entitled to do this, just willing. I'm listening as well. My email is [email protected] and that's also my PayPal account. I'm on here on and off all day (kind of Android obsessed here) so you can contact me anytime. I do think we need to keep everything public and in the forums to keep all parties involved as transparent as possible. Off to bed, ill check back in the A.M.
