Connecting x7501 to TV?

Is there a cable available to connect the x7501 to a TV through S video or some other method?

This is it right here http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=145166 or you can go on ebay and get the docking station I moded in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2067979#post2067979
I think expansys has that docking station too and the OEM version which carries 2 USB ports and an already included 3.5mm jack, but I wouldn't shell out $100 plus for it. Just my 2 cents

4 in 1 cable gets you comppsite video out and VGA out if your TV has that port. I've tested it and it looks really good either way.

Excellent, where's the best place to buy? Expansys? Are there any generics I should avoid?

Since you are in the USA, go to OnTheGOSolutions.com They always seem to have them in stock and they get them out FAST. Prices are all about the same. Call them though, they aren't showing it on the web site at the moment. I don't think you'll find generics to worry about.
Why do youwant it on your TV anyway?

the main reason is because i have two daughters (one is two years old and the other is four months). At family events, everyone always wants to see pictures. Since i usually keep lots of pictures on my device or an sd card, i can show pictures from my device. its very annoying going from person to person, or passing my device around the room, hoping no one drops it or spills something on it. Showing everyone at once on the tv seems like the best solution.

Keep a set of S video or a/v cable in the car along with the 4 in 1 cable and a spare charger. I know exactly what you mean though, especially when it gets around to the kids hands. By the time it reaches back to you their are multiple windows open and the pictures cant even be seen anymore. Not to mention of the mistress calls while the inlaws have the phone in their hand (lol). Just ranting and talking bs, but do get 1 of those 4 in 1 cable or a docking station for the phone's sake.

Its nice to knw i'm not the only one with this issue. I can tell this cable is gonna be one of the 'must have' accessories for the advantage, for me anyway. Lg style i, nutshell belt clip pouch, good screen protector (i use boxwave crystal clear, as suggested in a different thread) are essential to this device, IMO. Of course, a good bluetooth headset may be suitable to replace the style i, depending on your prefernce. Personally, the only time i just love a headset is while driving. I keep the wired headset that came with the x7501 in the car. It works great, just plug it in and go. No need to turn on device, activate comm manager, turn on bluetooth, set as hadsfree, yo get the idea. I only use it while driving though, i just can't see walking through the mall (or anywhere else) with wires dangling from my head, not for me.

Welcome to the club. At times it seems as if my bt headset's molded to my ear.

Hey guys. I'm really interested in this phone, but I have questions.

1. My contract expires in May. What are the odds by then the phone isn't crippled?
2. Even crippled, is the phone worth having? Are there better phones out there?
3. If I buy this phone through AT&T on an existing plan, how much trouble am I in if I flash it?
4. Since I am going to flash it, what are some good programs for it? Does the Slingbox's Slingplayer work well with it? What about games and stuff. Movie-viewing? Music playing? There's a billion conflicting reports. I'm planning on getting this phone, so I want to do it right.
5. Programs like AIM, do they really use texts and not Wifi, or is that only if you use the built-in texting version of AIM?
I have more but thats plenty for now. Thank you to anyone who opens this!

Nice try - April 1!
No bite here.

1. 50/50 as always
2. but of course
3. if you return it with a rom flashed on there the warranty is void (I think)
4. not sure about slingbox, I think it should work but don't have it. I don't think anyone has ever said movies and music don't work on the phone, so I don't know about these conflicting reports.
5. depends on the IM client you use.
All these things can be searched if you need more info.

1. I'd say 99% its not crippled.
2. No, not in the Windows department anyways. You can get a Nokia N96 sans Windows or an HTC X7501 but its huge cuz of its 5" screen.
3. No trouble.
4. Everything seems to run fine on mine.
5. If you get the hacked AIM 2.0, no charges for texts. Otherwise, you will be charged.

So you guys are giving me pretty good reviews on this phone. Where's a good place to look for software?
Also, when I say "crippled" I am talking about the graphics driver not being on it. And when I talk about things like movies, I mean I've heard they run slowly and look bad because of the graphics driver not being used.
Anything else you guys can tell me? I mean I want to be sold on this phone... I want backup on it hahaha.
For example, is it really 30 dollars a month for unlimited data access? Cause I kinda want to use Google Map's + GPS, but not pay or be near a hotspot. How is it with detecting hotspots?

ok don't listen to the driver bull**** man. The videos play fine. I watch movies on my phone with no problem. I stream my movies from my home pc through orb.com and the quality is perfect. I never get that lip-sync effect. Seriously people need to stop *****ing about video drivers already. Like I previosly stated unless you expect to watch live video feeds from Mars then you can complain. Most of the video lag issues can be soloved by going into the settings and tweaking them. (TCPMP player settings) I personally never had to do that. This phone is the best phone I've ever had and I've been in the phone game for a minute. As for your other question. If you want to find the most up to date software, this is the place. THey even have the files so you can download them directly on your omputer withougt having to go through a millions sites. Hope this helps.

How is your laptop with detecting hotspots? Same thing for the TILT. You can install a program called WiFiFoFum on your TILT when you get it. It sniffs out hotspots and tells your if they are secure or not. You can pay 19.99 unlimited internet on your phone. Add the feature through the website when you log into your acct. When you get the phone tell them YOU DO NOT WANT A DATA PLAN! I stress this because reps at the store will add unneccesary things you may not need. Like telenav promotion, mobitv promotion, push to talk promotion, etc. Make sure they show you a detail of whats on your account so they don't jerk you over. I personally never done it but working at a store I've seen everyone do it just to get that extra commission. You will love the phone I promise.

If your primary usage for a phone is as a multimedia device, then get an iPhone. The Tilt is absolute **** at playing movies and there is no miracle "fix" in sight.
The one benefit to owning an HTC product is this board. Aside from a handful of apologists who insist that their Kaisers/Tilts are perfect in every way, there are a ton of knowledgeable, helpful people who do some really cool stuff.

You can't fool me sir. I have seen the iPhone. I've used the iPhone. It's not good. It's a great novelty item, but for everyday use I can't imagine it being anything serviceable. I didn't have to go beyond typing on both to realize the iPhone and I would never get along. Plus I like surfing the real internet.
ANYWAY:
1. So I plan on flashing the ROM immediately. If something bad happens to the phone (Someone on this board is complaining about his battery and said it was the third time he had to return it), what do I do to cover this fact up? How do I protect my 250 investment?
2. I don't plan on adding those insane plans, and I am definitely not using TelNav or Push to Talk. 20 dollars unlimited internet sounds about 120 better than what I thought it was (30 dollars a month) and I think I might have to take them up on that eventually.
So this is the place to be, thats good I found it then. What are some other programs I can load on this phone? I mean I want it pimped out.
A. Micro-HDSD card for added room - necessary? (Those Micro Cards are so tiny. I have a 2 Gig Micro-SD Card atm.)
B. If I put a widescreen movie on the phone, would it display 16:9? What programs do I use to play movies and media and stuff?
C. How good is Opera Mobile? Worth going from the free Opera Mini up to it? (Unless there is... cough... another way.)
D. Touch screen on this phone - multi touch? Is it awesome? Is the screen good for watching stuff and all?
E. You use outlook for mail on this thing? Is it better to just use GMail? Is there a program that will notify you of mail on the front screen, like it does with outlook? That front screen notification area is awesome by the way.
F. Speaker on the phone - how is it? It's only mono? Is it worth investing in bluetooth headphones/stereo headset?
Thats enough for right now. I have a lot of questions and I am really glad I found this site - I've been in love with this phone for months and I'm getting close to my contract expiring. AND it just dropped in price by 50 bucks, online at least.

1. You are taking your chances - you cannot 'cover this fact up'. Read the battery threads - some have problems others do not - you will find out what yours does and work with it.
2. while you do NOT want a tethering plan you DO want the unlimited data plan.
3. What do you use to play GAMES? Honestly man - games play when you load them and run them.
4. You will have IE on your phone - if that is not good enough for you then load free opera and if you don't like it better then unload it.
5. is touch screen awesome - do you want a cheerleading section? It works and works well - yes you can actually look at things on it.
6. outlook works well and so does your internet mail - they are not mutually exclusive.
7. Speaker phone - is it MONO? Come on MAN!!! There is ONE SPEAKER and it is a tweater 3/8's of an inch big - no you get full surround sound on it. SHEESH!
8. Honestly - you need sto start reading - there is a wealth of information here and you need to start doing some work yourself.

I don't understand all the complaints. My Tilt plays movies just fine
1. I know there's an unbricker but Im not sure if it always works.
A. yes
B. yes. use TCPMP 0.81
C. Opera Mini > Opera Mobile
D. no multi-touch but the screen is good, hard to scratch, and easy to use
E. I use Pocket Outlook to manage two email accounts and yes there are onscreen notifications
F. Speaker is mono, yes. i use wired headphones, I dont trust BlueTooth stuff to work right ever on anything.

Hidavi you seem to love your phone just as much as I do. First off to the previous poster you are a jackass if you think the Iphone is a good phone.
Tilt has 3g internet, the REVOLUTIONARY iPHONE is running on EDGE..
Who wants to type an email by touching the screen. Most of us are ANAL when it comes to someone touching our screen.
iPhone just added EXCHANGE EMAIL support.
What company in their right mind would choose to give their employees Iphones over Blackberries... ummmm hmmmm NONE!
unless they come out with an Iphone that can read my thoughts and transcribe them in an email I won't get one.
Imagine how long it will take to write an email for a dude like me with Man hands. Enough Said

I'd like some more responses, if you guys don't mind.

I do love my phone. It owns the **** out of IPhones. My phone gets more attention then those do surprisingly. people like the tiltness and the chrome and stuff.

Is the Tilt known for being prone to breaking or something similar? Or is it a sturdy device? I plan on modding it on day 1, and I'd like some assurance it's not going to turn into a 300 dollar paperweight.

not really i've been modding it since day one...nothing wrong...dropped a few times and once on hard times...still nothing...no scratches or anything not sqeaking or sounds still really sturdy...but make sure when u mod read ALL the wiki's before doing so

Oh when I mod this thing, I will be glued to this board mashing the F5 key.
I mean I'm just going to put the Kaiser bios on it, and then put on Quake II and watch Lord of the Rings on it. Nothing special.
What should I turn the PTT button into?

By the way, as far as buying one of these goes for an existing plan - how do I do that the cheapest way possible? 300 dollars is not too appealing.

Removed both cameras!

I removed both cameras on the first day I got my Diamond. I've been looking through the service manual before and felt primed.
Beforehand I want to tell you I did this already to my Magician and my Hermes - easy like swinging compared to the following.
After nearly 2h everything was put together again (I spare you the dirty and sweaty details). Before I switched on again I already thought about posting here something like "don't do it... it's cumbersome". Ok, then I switched on.
Booting up just fine . Since I touched those sensitive antennae cables I tried my SIM-PIN, works. WLAN & BT, works. Navi (GPS) no signal!
During the next tremulous 4h I tried "everything". Cutting it short: there was a conducting patch grounding the GPS antenna cable . I pushed that cable 5nm (there's actually no room left within the housing - as long as the cameras are still in) below and it all worked again.
To sum it up: don't do it! I mean it: DON'T DO IT. If you're a reckless person - seek some other "joy".
Why am I posting in ROM dev.: Maybe someone has too much time and wants to save me some storage space and wants to cook me a ROM without camera stuff OR someone is in need of a tester for special software (e.g. 1st torch software for Magician needed the camera, my own software later on didn't need a camera and was much more lean and fast).
PS: If you still wonder why I actually did that -> company policy.

Dont know if i should laugh or cry... or go to bed -.-

Couldn't you just spray paint over the camera lenses or put scotch tape on them?

I don't know what to say... other than WTF!

@techdave: You'll be asked "R U carrying a camera-cellphone with U?" at the plant entrance. If the camera is "only" blinded they could get nitpicking and say there still is a camera. But I can "lordly" answer "No".

Haha only temporarily, he can put them back when he quits because he gets sick of a Diamond with no camera.

@racerx_: Don't exaggerate. It's neither that expensive nor is it maimed (luckily). There's been always little use for these cheap CMOS sensors for me.

hey, do your company guards know that you can bring your cameras in separate pocket and then reassemble it back at the facility? ;-)

Carrying the cameras would violate company policies itself - no matter whether in conjunction with a suitable device or not. Technically you'd also bring a USB-Cam, LAN-Cam and whatever cam.
I've got nothing more than a usual cell phone with added holes. Would this be violating? Almost every cell phone has got bluetooth capability. So what about bluetooth cams? Ooops. Is every (BT-)phone now violating the above policy?

What are you on man? Whatever it is its kicking in awesome.

I guess the policy is not to carry cameras, otherwise the policy would probably have been not to carry any communication device. Carrying a device with holes but with no camera's would be acceptable then. If not, you'd also have to remove the BT and the WiFi, since there are probably cameras out there that can communicate with BT or WiFi. If you are going to remove that, please take pictures (if you still can without the camera)? LOL
How did you move the GPS grounding cable a stunning distance of 5 nm? Is that cable fixed enough not to vibrate back while using the device?
I must say, I should go to sleep, did not cry, but felt a joy while reading your thread. Nice one! Thanx

Can we put a third camera on Diamond ?

Some pictures pls! Thanks!

Well, 5nm were of course disproportionate. But yes, the cable is bendable. Although I wouldn't push it more than needed. Till now it didn't resume position because my device still knows where it is (although I don't know all the time).

I'll see what I can do. But I'm not gonna dismantle my baby again (unless I'm forced to).

I would be lucky if we were allowed to use phones with *removed* cameras. We have to prove, that it was a cameraless device from the beginning (like in: go to shop, buy without camera). Not sure if there's a official (i.e. AT&T) version of the diamond without camera.
(oh, and I regularly disassemble my smartphones when they get sick, nothing to worry about)

i demand pictures! ...so where do you work? BAHAHHA

Yea, AT&T sells the Fuze with no camera. I guess you have to buy it through the business site or via phone though...

Yeah! The Ultimate!!

Now this is a classic...
Bought one just for a laugh but got shocked as its full touch screen, SMS, MMS email, MP3 and lots of accessory progs.
BT headset included, stereo headset, open headset connector (for your own) USB cable and mini cable charger!!
Just looks a joke on your wrist but strangly harkens back to the size of the old Cambridge LED watches!!
Just glad the bloke on the box lid was not included also!!!

How much did you pay for it?

In UAE DHS599
USD 163 and change at present ex.
OK it may be expensive BUT!! Really good joke (and if packaged better would not be!!)
Extra un-cool at the moment...

This is like the future of the old calculator watches kids would wear back in school that always had the correct answers for our math quizzes !

Has a calculator on it and it seems to give the correct answers!
Its only un-cool cause it dunt have TF3D and drivers rolleyes but a really great gadget to have...
BTW, it does work on your wrist as a full touch screen voice phone without the BT or wired headset!
It has an internal mike and speaker!!
Thunderbirds ARE GO!!!

OH THIS IS TOO MUCH!!
It has HANDWRITING recognition!! (OK you can only fit one letter at a time on the screen but HEY!!)
What else can this do??
Playing....

Hahaha that's awesome, too bad it's only triband.

I was strolling around the Marina Mall here in Abu Dhabi and noticed it in a shop window thought "I have gotta try this out". My son and I try to outdo each other with stupid Christmas presents.
I have a feeling he won't get this one.

That's a sexy chain bracelet. (Don't worry I noticed the cool watch phone too lol) Mind telling me where you got it from? Looks nice. The chain bracelet I mean.

Just one.
The batteries are about 7.5mm thick but sit recessed into the back of the watch when attached.
The whole thing is 20mm thick at widest section down to 15mm at center.
Never said it was pretty!

I want one of those "kitsh" watch/Phone or wheatever it´s called!
Amazing!

Found this in the documentation if you know any shop that wants to import a few.

I am sure they won't come under the Qualcomm ban on import tech.

Failing that, I could have a talk to the shop I got mine from. They are pretty good around here and may do a mail delivery for you if you wish.
Problem with that is returns.. Cheap Chinese gear tends to have a bad Quality Control and some do not work 'out of the box'.
Best let some retailer take that so your returns are close.
Mine had a faulty microSD but the cheap cost of them now meant I didn't bother with a return.
FYI, I find this to be ideal for in the gym or out cycling.
I just forward my calls to it from the Touch Pro and can instantly see who is calling (my call forwarding passes caller info) and answer without breaking stride!!
People just think its a heart monitor at my age..

Found better looking one with a built in camera from a supplier in the States!

I have to laugh at what I am finding on these units...
Skip free excellent A2DP playback and handsfree... even connected to my Infiniti BT with no problem.
In functionality they can put HTC to shame..

Good, cheap, bluetooth for Desktop PC?

My girlfriend has at Pantech Duo, without Wifi, for her birthday or christmas I wanna get her one of those little usb bluetooth things for her computer so she can be on the internet wherever in her house with her Pantech using her bluetooth.
I'm not asking how to configure the bluetooth internet on the device, as I've already figured this out by searching some other topics and guides.
I'd just like to know what to buy as far as bluetooth for her family's desktop Vista computer. Probably something cheap that can send the internet connection to the device..
thanks in advance!

your right! now only if i knew how they compare... my girlfriend would be using it for internet with her Pantech Duo.
Well I may just get the cheap one. Being that it's a family computer, does it always need to be signed in? or can it be on the log in screen on standby?

1 question. Why not a microSD wifi card? Wouldn't that be better? I mean internet through bluetooth would be HORRIBLY slow. Like slower then edge. Like file transfer slow. IMHO, I think a wifi card would be better. But then again, it would be more expensive.
