Ps3 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought a ps3 and im wondering what all I can do with it from my android. Whoops. Saw a midget stripper and accidentally posted. Anyways, ps3 doesnt reconize captivate. Do I need to download drivers for ps3 will that work? Did a forum search for ps3 came up empty so if you can point me in the right direction or shed some light id really appreciate it.

For a system to recognize the Captivate, or pretty much any Android phone, it needs compatible drivers installed. I don't believe there are Captivate drivers for a PS3.

I figured that much. Thanks man.

I just hooked my captivate up to my ps3 and it recognized it even transferred music and photos to it. I plugged it in and mounted the phone and ps3 saw it. Funny I was curious too and was shocked it worked

mine has always worked, you just need to connect it as a mass storage device

the ps3 doesn't need drivers for any (probably most) usb mass storage devices. it probably doesnt even need drivers for most other usb input devices.

Oh ok. I guess it's a problem with the phone, because when I hook it up the usb connected notice doesn't pop up and I can't mount the phone. Guess I'll have to troubleshoot it.

Go to settings, applications, USB settings I have mine set to ask on connection, USB debugging is on too. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, hope that helps.

Did you turn on usb storage? Plug your phone in, pull down the notification tray, should have a usb connected ongoing notification. Tap it. Then turn your storage on.

Try a different usb wire? Port? Basic stuff, I know, and im not intending to be condensending, but im trying to eliminate easy stuff before anything more drastic. As you didn't say what you have tried, we gotta ask.

I've had issues with my laptop seeing my sd card after using usb tether. Try rebooting both your phone and pc. That works for me.

I've used the USB tether (CM 6.2 native) a handful of times, and on 2 of those occasions, my hero and my laptop would not connect to my home wifi until I power cycled the router.

HDMI or something on the nexus one?

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way that I can see my nexus one on the TV. Or if not that, atleast show videos like from YouTube. I can only play audio.
Please help me. My TV has no USB port, but I have a USB thingy connected to my TV through HDMI.

Remote control your Nexus from your PC, and connect your PC to the TV.
But then why would you need Nexus...
I'm afraid it's not possible... the only thing you could do is this.
afaik, the only device through which you can do something like that is desire HD, since it features a mini-HDMI port.
You can't connect it the conventional way, since there's no HDMI port...but you could try through the USB cables
Btw, the Desire HD does not have a HDMI port, but the Evo 4G does.

There is no way to do HDMI mirroring without HDMI support built into the phones hardware, and unfortunately, the N1 lacks any ability to output video to anywhere other than the display on the phone.
What behelit was talking about is using a DLNA server on your device, which will allow you to have your music, videos, and pictures available for people to view over your local network with any DLNA compatible device. All while being wireless. Many newer Samsung and Sony TVs support this, along with a lot of their BluRay players (including other manufacturers) along with the PS3 and the XBox 360. Essentially it works like a dvd player where you will have menus and can pause and rewind and all that fun stuff.
I believe the usb host thread has examples of people using an external monitor, but I don't think the usb output is HDMI...
The USB host thread has people using external USB2HDMI adapter, which gets the output sent for it by the device driver in the OS.
No way to do anything like it without modifying the OS to have USB host capability to begin with. Or building a special external USB host and drivers.

You could try and find a N1 Desktop Dock on eBay and use the mini-HDMI adaptor on that.

Seriously wtf ubuntu

I just switched from 7 to ubuntu and it freaking sucks. I ant get dual monitors nor dies my freaking wireless work. I downloaded all the freaking drivers and installed them yet nothing works. The wireless keeps switching to a wpa security when I told it it is a wep. Wtf is that crock? And when I connect to it, I can't select a wep key, only a wpa personal. Please help before I throw this damn thing out the window

Your problem is that you installed ubuntu.
Download debian or OpenBSD.
Obviously that isn't a solution

just out of curiosity , why did you install it ?
Its very close to my phone and is very light

USB port gone bad

I think I'm sol here but I want to see if anyone has any ideas... I cannot connect to my computer via USB, I've tried 3 USB cables and my wife's captivate connects with all three but mine doesn't. I'm running cm7 now so I can't think of any way to return to stock, any ideas? Thanks in advance

Oh and by the way I have the captivate 2.3 bootloaders =extra screwed right?

OP,
Since ur on CM7, do u have the correct drivers installed (Nexus S) and did u try rebooting ur computer ??
Yeah and I even tried updating sdk again. And also my wife's captivate runs on cm7 also. I also tried different USB ports and a non Samsung cable I can't think of anything else to try
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
Well after about 3 hours of plugging and unplugging the usb it works now so im back on stock 2.2 and i have to say man does this suck. Im sort of half scared to move back to a gingerbread rom or cm7 again. Im going to check and see if i still have usb issues i hope i do so i can return this phone under warranty

I had the same issue. I uninstalled my drivers for the phone, then reinstalled them.

Turtlebeach Setup Question

I have a 360 and I use the 360 wireless adapter which currently occupies the USB port on the back.
I see that the Turtlebeach requires me to plug this into the back USB port.
What's the best way to go about this? No, I will not use Ethernet cable or get the new Xbox.

I have to look for a hub but I don't know if that'll work. This headset is hella complicated.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
No it doesn't need to be plugged into the back port. You can use any USB port (even one from your computer). The back port is recommended because it only provides power thus freeing up the other USB ports for things that don't only need power for
Or at least I think so. Either way any USB on your Xbox will work for your Turtle Beaches.
Cool. I will try it now. This thing is a beast. I didn't think people took mics this serious. My GF got it for me.
