I have no idea what you are saying. If you are using adbgrab.exe post the PNG that it generates.

Thanks for you reply, Helped me maybe gonna replace it soon
Try using Dex to verify the mobo is intact. Not 100% foolproof but it's a good start.
In the future put it in a good case like the Zizo Bolt.

Yeah it's a heavy, corner hitting, face planting phone
The Bolt can be had for around $20.
The rear kickstand will probably break with use but that doesn't effect drop protection.
In 2.5 years they've sucked up some good hits onto concrete from 2-4 feet. Doesn't mar the frame rails, or attract dirt, grippy but easy to clean.

I really want to get a dock station so I can use the Desk Home and maybe watch some movies at work.
Does anyone know where to get one?
samsung accessory page - but they're not available yet
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...one-accessories/index.idx?pagetype=accsubtype
Nah, screw the Home Dock, who needs features like
'charging' and 'audio output' when you can have this little piece of genius:
most useful invention evar
When you're done using it to prop up your phone at work,
you can use it to clean all the **** outta your desk when your boss catches you.
How would you dock a phone that has its power connector on the top... LOL
It slides in sideways. Hence the desk app.
Make a paperclip stand!
I made one of these and it works great for my Vibrant. I have it on my desk at the office and plug the usb into my computer. I've been watching videos during lunch using this thing with no problems.
Can't beat that for $0.01. I did have to make three before I got it just right, so maybe the cost is more like $0.03.
Look at my paperclip stand. Its perfect, I just have to be carefull don't scratch it with the edges.
Ignore this. I dont know how delete a post
I made 3 or 4 of the paper clip ones and just never felt that it was that sturdy. Oh well. Off to the supply room to rumage for supplies.

You could use pencil erasers on the ends to not scratch it

Now the price goes from $0.01 to $0.02

I've been wondering about this dock for a while now. Supposedly someone said they saw it in a video on Samsung's website, but I haven't seen anything. I hope it comes out soon, though. I really want one!

Looks interesting. If you click the amazon link on that page it pulls up some other low cost stands.
I just ordered this last night http://www.amazon.com/elago-Stand-A...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280882983&sr=8-42
For $3.99 plus shipping, I figured why not.
I think this is it?
That's the one.
I'm surprised that our 4" SAMOLED phone doesn't have this option.... or a case with a kickstand. I'd love one for the sheer fact that I can view media and have it as a clock by my bedside.
Maybe we can suggest it to samsung? anyone know how?

You stole that idea from my mind! I would rather see two small feet at one side of the case then the large feet.
cristorb said:
Hey guys check the link on my signature.
This is a stand that will fit any phone, with the case or without it.
It has multiple viewing angles, and you can rotate it to set the phone on any of its four sides.
You avoid blocking any ports with the rotation.
It is removable or you can keep it on the phone. It is also very small that u can bring it with you anywhere.

I like it, how many different angles are there for viewing?
You could always find a really small hinge, a spare battery door and a straight thin piece of metal with teeth/notches that lock it in place when it's open or closed and make a prototype. And then sell it to Samsung

I think that it is a great idea, but I am hesitant to think that Samsung would use it for the Captivate. They may use it for the newer phones though.
if this happens i expect to see another patent war between HTC and Samsung.
If only those aftermarket creative directors would just sneak into these forums, I would buy one for sure. My arm gets pretty tired sometimes when lying in bed.

Hi,
Just had a sweet idea. Not sure if anyone has tried this yet? Looking at the Nexus S, the front is all black, i.e. no Samsung branding.
I was wondering if we were to take a standard screen protector, and put a small black patch or color a small area black somehow on the adhesive side, then line this up to cover the Samsung logo the front of the device will look all black.
The area only needs to be ~0.5 cm high/2cm long to cover the logo.
Does anyone think this will work or will it look gash? Haven't tried it yet, only collateral damage if it doesn't work would be a screen protector though I guess...
Could work. But why would you want that ;/?. I can understand about themes and stuff but why cover the samsung logo on the front ;/
Yeah... then after hiding the logo try bending the screen and block the sd-card slot with balsa wood and super glue and you will have an awesome phone... hehe...

We should also find a way to downgrade bluetooth from 3.0 to 2.1. And eliminating the radio will not be easy task.

May or may not work.. I dont really see the point though, the Samsung logo is not ugly or overly present. Also, it wouldnt make it look like a Nexus S, it would just make it look even more like an iPhone 3G

Ok ok.... just thought it would be interesting, heaps of reviewers have commented on how mean the front looks when the device is just sitting there with screen off... kinda ominous.
Can't be ar$ed trying it tho, was hoping someone else would

Nah... What I´ve heard it has a tendency to FC. Better not overheat it. Try putting it on your fattest relatives chair during a family dinner or something (the screen is sturdy as we all know). Ideal would be if you knew one of those guys who bends the bananas before they are transported to the stores... sadly, most of them have been hired by samsung and moved to Korea...
HD-video recording should be disabled using nr2 sandpaper on the camera lens.
bluetooth 3.0 I havent thought about beacause non of my friends have as good taste as I when it comes to android devices, due to this I dont think I have ever used bluetooth on my sgs and I might add that I preordered it...

You're just attaching an additional battery on to the back of your phone right? I don't get it.

agreed.
you are nowhere near a point where you should be showing off. get at least some semblance of a finished product, then come back.
doing a mod that allows you to keep a stylistic part (the draco) by making the device look like something scrounged from junk, is silly. and that is where it is as of now.

I think it is modelling parts: sheets of modelling plastic, glued together with modelling putty.. and then not bothered to be sanded down, or anything.

3D printers. Must have.
Yeah I didn't finish it. I'm using the plastic welding method. Once I sand it down it'll have a rounded edge and it'll be buttery smooth

I'm not showing off. If you go through these threads just to bash on people, its not appreciated. If you actually read it. I wrote "WORK IN PROGRESS" and im pretty sure once i finish dremeling it and sanding it with rounded edges it'll look decent enough.
I just finished sanding. Can anybody give me any suggestions on how to make the corners cleaner? Is silicone a good option? I can't sand it down anymore or I would go through the plastic since I used a thin one to use NFC

Only option to make it look nicer that comes to mind is using a red vinyl decal. Ill try it if all else fails...
Sorry, but I don't get why you're doing this.
As per my previous post, are you away from mains power for more than 12 hours at a time?
Hey dude, get some automotive body filler. Should clean it up nicely. Model car putty should work too but i think the automotive filler will hold up better to getting hit. . Tape off the area you dont want to get the stuff on, Lay it on, than sand it, than id suggest spray painting the stuff to protect it, than it will look good.
Do a search on model car putty to get an idea of what it does.

Thanks, hopefully this works out because i was thinking about silicone and this looks like a better option.
spraying it with white truck bed liner would probably be decent too, figure it would add some durability to it

The pieces adhere directly to the phone with a 3M film. I only applied the back piece and not the sides, etc. Really doesn't provide much protection, I simply liked using wood and the aesthetics.

Sigh.
I got mine today. I slightly misaligned the back plate on mine, and did not even push down on it. I tried to readjust it with no luck. I then heated it up with a blow dryer to fully remove it - I pulled a bit of the corner up and I immediately saw that this was not gonna be possible. There was going to be a TON of residue left on the back of my phone if I tried to fully take it off.
I'm extremely disappointed. Not at the product, but at myself and also how much of a hassle it is to remove it.
-The skin does look great if applied on correctly.
-Not sure if it's worth the $30 or not yet.
-The removal process is much harder than the site/packaging says it is.
