I just placed about 15 connectors on order from mouser electronics, all of which should fit the bill. It's now a matter of waiting for them to get here. Once they get here I'll be able to test and modify each connector to figure out reproducability.

parallel port / usb adapter is what i meant. my bad. its been a while. serial/parallel i know theirs a big difference but same crap.. lol

my point was they make em.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Currently as you mentioned, size is the limiting factor on my JTAG Captivate service. There is NO JTAG adapter like there are for several hundred other devices. To knowledge, the Captivate has the smallest JTAG points of any Samsung Device. This is due to the fact there are not corresponding pads for each point like every other device. Soldering poses such a large risk of damaging the board an adapter is really necessary to make this an actual service as the skill required to pull this off as a service on a regular basis is very very difficult.

I've talked with even multi-com.pl about making one and even they are not ready to do this.

As far as all the Serial/Parallel talk, I'm not sure why that is even being brought up as in most cases you will need an intermediate device to interface with proprietary software in order to re-write a bootloader.

I've been very busy with the HD2 market JTAG'ing all the HD2 boards and it's been nice to be able to help so many phones for others that were trashed until I began to do it. OP, stay in touch with me on how this goes for you.

[Atrix 4G General] mthguy:
So I use VPN a lot at work, and I would like to have an option to be able to check on my work PC remotely with the webtop. From what I can tell we have had some luck loading dpkg and apt on the webtop, So is there a real VPN linux client that works well with the ARM framework? if so I would like to help work to make it work on the Atrix's Webtop mode. If anyone has any suggestions as to which open source VPN project to start with and which dependencies we will need to port to ARM or at least begin to shoehorn onto the Atrix please post.

[Atrix 4G General] mthguy:
well I had planned on 'developing' a working solution. I just need some input as to where to start. I was going to use this for a journal -> howto of the process. I still can i guess.

So, does anyone have suggestions on where to start, or a good VPN linux client that runs on ARM well, and doesn't require a bunch of dependencies?
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
openvpn would be ideal, but it requires TUN/TAP support, which won't be available until kernel sources are available.

vpnc also requires TUN

Most web-based SSL VPNs require a java runtime plugin, of which the embedded one from Oracle does not work.

There's built-in support for Citrix, so that works for some people. I use NeoRouter, which is an SSL VPN of sorts. Fire it up in the Mobile View, and then I can redirect connections within the webtop to utilize that VPN connection.
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
you can use l2tp/ipsec or pptp via the settings/wireless&networks menu...its built into the OS. when you are in webtop it comes up as an option to connect to your vpn. why reinvent the wheel?
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Not all companies/indivduals use pptp/l2tp/ipsec VPNs. It's best to have as many options as possible IMO.
[Nook Color Accessories] KDOG2020:
So what will the Wiimote do for/with the Nook? How in the world does the wiimote and Nook connect? Bluetooth?
[Nook Color Accessories] nolook:
it connects via bluetooth so your rom would have to support that...the main use is with emulators for old systems such as snes/n64

check out this awesome demo vid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooxA4vUyCxc
[Nook Color Accessories] victle:
Look great. I only have xbox, don't have wii, might buy a wiimote for the kid play Mario. Thanks.

Sent from my NookColor
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
As of right now, the only Nook ROM that supports Bluetooth is CyanogenMod7...so keep that in mind. Might change in the future but if you're not willing to switch to CM7, probably something to consider before buying peripherals.
[Nook Color Accessories] mooja:
even on CM7 i can get it to pair with my wiimotes, but i cant get any apps to actually use it which is frustrating
[Nook Color Accessories] victle:
CM7 works great now, it can run off a sdcard and still very fast and stable :)
[Nook Color Accessories] mtutick:
I just updated to CM7 yesterday and am loving it. I need to try out this Wiimote connection now. Does anyone know which emulator the guy was using in the video? Is there somewhere I can get a list of which emulators support the bluetooth Wiimote?
[Nook Color Accessories] vtjay:
have you enabled it in the input's menu? the IME has to be enabled the same way 3rd party keyboards need to be.
[Nook Color Accessories] Nburnes:
Do exactly that. Get it to connect to the app, then select the keyboard IME, then you need to map the buttons in most emulators. Really is fairly simple to do.
[Nook Color Accessories] msgnyc:
If your looking into getting a wimote to use for gaming on your android device and you do not own a wii, Well, I would buy it for the Wii aswell actually, but go the extra step up.

Rather then buying a Wiimote buy a Datel Retro Controller instead.

It's a bluetooth version of Nintendos Wired Classic except you do not need to connect it to the Wiimote itself.

It's a stand alone controller and it syncs up just as a Wiimote would. It syncs up using one of the Wiicontroller apps just fine and works GREAT with emulators. :)

Unlike with the Wiimote, The retro controler gives you dual analog sticks, 4 face buttons in much a more convenient location and 4 shoulder buttons to map along with the D-Pads and start/Select so it can be used for more then just NES games.

More buttons and dual analog sticks makes it much more convenient for use with games that require more then just A and B like the old NES games.

You know, like SNES, N64, PSX etc.... ;)

The only button that does not work for obvious reasons. =P and can not be mapped is the power button which is used to turn on the wii console.
[Nook Color Accessories] mtutick:
If I didn't have a Wiimote already, I would buy this. However, since I already have 4 Wiimotes in the house, I couldn't justify spending the $50 (with shipping). The only place I could find it online was the codejunkies.com website. There are some European sites, but they won't ship it to the US. Any other places have it for sale?
[Nook Color Accessories] Gin1212:
As much as I agree with msgnyc about the awesomeness of that controller. I must mention that if you already own a wiimote, that can be pretty pricey at almost $50.

I have like 3 wiimotes in my house, so I just went ahead and bought a Nyko Wii Classic controller and it cost me like $10... Yes, I have to carry around two controllers and one has a wire to it, but I still don't think a wireless classic controller is going to be much easier to use in most situations. (In a car, bus, grocery store, etc..)
[Nook Color Accessories] dsf3g:
WOW, the Datel Retro Controller to use with an N64 emulator, an external keyboard to use with Quick Office HD... looks like there may be a CM7 future for me.

If B&N releases an Android reader app that supports magazine subscriptions I'll probably make the switch from stock rooted in a heartbeat.
[Nook Color Accessories] Gin1212:
Just keep in mind. N64 is the least impressive app as far as game support goes. FPSE for psx games, and all of the "-oid" emulators work far better and support a lot more games.

N64 is great if you want to play Mario Kart, Mario 64 or don't mind a lot of lag in most of the games.
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
I MUCH prefer the regular Wiimote plus its classic controller for the Nook Color.

Why?

Because our bluetooth's range is around a foot, which is a hard distance to play games. But with the regular Wiimote you can leave it RIGHT next to the Nook, then use the cable attaching it to the classic controller to lean back and enjoy some extra room.
[Nook Color Accessories] msgnyc:
Totally agree.

Like I said, if you don't already own a Wii, the Datel controller is the best option hands down. I use it just fine with the nook from about 3 feet away without bt issues, but I can totally understand your reasoning behind preferring the wiimote+classic poofy..

Unfortunately, it can only be purchased either from the UK ort hru codejunkies directly which is the datel site thanks to nintendo.

You used to be able to pick them up at best buy, circuit city, wallmart etc.. but Nintendo lost way too many sales for their classic/classic pro controllers because of it and threatened to not ship units to retailers unless they were pulled and so they were. Tho the stores still carry Datel PS3 and 360 controllers, butt hey are inferior to the original in those cases unlike how they're superior to Nintendos.... I still do not understand why Nintendo themselves refuse to make a bluetooth version of their classic controllers honestly.

If you do have a Wii already however the Wiimote would do just fine on it's own and for just a but more you can pick up a used nintendo classic controller ($14), newnintendo classic pro ($20) or any third party controllers ($20 or less) and just plug it into the wiimote AFTER you sync up the wand.
[Nook Color Accessories] lschroeder:
I borrowed Wiimote plus classic controller from my daughter. I am able to play Super Mario 64.z64 ROM with virtual keyboard using N64oid emulator. I have WiimoteController app working and connecting to both. Could someone tell me the mapping for the keys on these devices. I am usually not a game player but would like to set it up for my grand kids. I am ok with the technology for an old guy. I can press the key and it registers but I do not know what to map with what?

I will put nook color on stand Wiimote on stand (Plate holder from JoAnn's) and while I supervise let them play with Wiimote plus classic controller. Someone mentioned that you should never put your nook in the hands of anybody that is one digit.
[Nook Color Accessories] thirru:
I found a decent alternative here in China,a PSX bluetooth controller that was iniitally made for windows mobile devices, but I got the Bluez-IME developer to support the controller and now it works perfect as you can see in the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLB7zyWrVnY .

I do agree though, that the range on the Nook Color is rather limited. The controller has a much much better range (further than 2m) with my Hero.
[Nook Color Accessories] Paul Paulson:
Just got my Wii Classic Controller last night and i'm loving it. Even if you don't have a Wii you can probably find a Wiimote and a classic controller on ebay or amazon for pretty cheap. I actually got a Wiimote at a Goodwill Store for $10 that has issues with the sensor but works perfectly fine over bluetooth.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I flashed a custom rom to an HTC ARIA. After working w/ it for a short period I realized it would work for the users needs. I odined back to stock then flashed Froyo 2.2. It works well except for one major issue. At the end of a phone call, the screen/phone seems to freeze. When the phone switches to "black screen mode" (during conversation) it doesn't switch back to screen on and the power button doesn't wake it up. The only way to wake the phone up is by removing the battery.

I've searched the web and XDA but I don't even know how to phrase this as a question!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
So just to be clear, you now have a Aria that has the official HTC Froyo 2.2 ROM installed, correct? The symptom would point to faulty proximity sensor.

First thing I would try would be a hard reset. Here is a reference:

http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/96/t/3451.aspx

If the problem still exists, you may want to consider it a hardware problem and take it back to AT&T.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Yes it is the official HTC 2.2. This issue didn't exist prior to the install
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
So have you tried a hard reset as suggested? If that didn't work, you might want to run the Froyo 2.2 RUU again and reflash the image.

Since it is an official AT&T update, you should be able to call AT&T and report the issue.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
No, sorry, could you run these steps by me?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
I posted a link in my original response. Dude I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I must admit some of the issues and questions you have been posting in the Aria forums almost sound like you are trolling...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Please stop w/ the "trolling" thing:mad: I am not! I am having legitimate issues. Thank you for the link, I did miss that.

I have completed the hard reset, this hasn't fixed the issue.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
OK, hard reset didn't work and since you are on the official AT&T Froyo update, you don't have a lot of options to try, since that version is unrootable at this time.

Option 1 is to re-run the Froyo 2.2 RUU update just to make sure you have a good flash.

Option 2 is to call AT&T and report the issue. Although the proximity sensor is hardware and it is acting like a hardware issue, it could well be a software issue with the new ROM.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK before I go to AT&T w/ the problem, would I just run the HTC sync to upgrade to 2.2 again? Basically flashing 2.2 over itself?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Yes, you would be reflashing the 2.2 upgrade over itself.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I'll give that a try, thank you.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Question...

I moved a lot of applications to my SD Card. The problem is that it seems to move every app off of the root directory which makes for a messy SD Card directory structure.

Is there no way to move the apps to a directory called /apps or something like that??
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
It should move it to sdcard/data/app/
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I have a few files in my root directory starting with . (like .android_secure, .dataviz, .downloadTemp, etc.), and also having some start with com., and others that are regular applications.

In my apps/data directory there is only like one app... I don't get why this is so messy?
[Epic 4G General] dzuchowski:
any directory starting with a "." is a hidden directory and thus should not be accessed by the user. just let android handle the directories and return to stock as you wont have any issues if you are using an ext4 with journaling turned off. EXT4 sucks data loss and fc all the time after a few days unless you allways reinstall your rom everyday i usually do.... i decided to use one rom for a few days and then i get those stupid errors.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
You state these problems with EXT4 as if they are standalone facts. They are not.

I have had none of the problems you refer to with EXT4, and have benn enjoying this technology since Bonsai 3.0.0 on DK28. I do not experience any issues compared to RFS, do not have to reinstall my ROM, etc. I am a very happy user of EB13-based Bonsai 3.0.1.

The only issues I've had have been generic EB13 problems-- Bluetooth connectivity, audio routing after disconnecting BT A2DP, and some problems with apps moved to SD via Titanium Backup that were not available to be moved via the standard method in Manage Applications.

With many thousands of people using EXT4 via Bonsai, ACS, and all the other bleeding-edge ROMs, and the lack of problems for most --perhaps 95% or better -- the issue is obviously something YOU'RE doing, not the EXT4 technology.

I know that isn't helpful to you, and I sincerely have sympathy. I hope the community can help you, and others, figure out the cause of your difficulties.

Regardless, it is not helpful, nor does it contribute to the community, to spread false information. It's true that for you and a handful of people that EXT4 is problematic; it is not true that EXT4 if some sort of risky feature that should be avoided.

Rather, EXT4 is a solid, very useful step forward in technology with major advantages. No one here should fear using it any more than any of the other mods they're willing to risk beyond using the official stock software.

[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
I don't understand why these manufacturers, at the very least, can't treat their phones like the Nexus line: Ship with a locked bootloader, and give us an option to unlock it ourselves, and make it one-way. If they choose not to repair rooted devices, fine. But if I'm paying for the phone, I OWN it. I should be able to run the ROMS, kernels, and apps I want.
[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
Man I totally agree. I wish all Androids were treated like the Nexus line.

Sent from my ADR6300 using......you get the idea.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Because look at it this way. The people that like to fiddle with these things (everyone on this site) will be the majority of people who decide to root. We know what we do will void warranties and we know that, unless it's there's really really serious issue, we can fix these things ourselves. Besides, by giving us these bootloaders that can be unlocked and relocked, these manufacturers are actually screwing themselves MORE. HTC devices have always had bootloader security (NAND Lock). When you root, you can turn it off (aka S-OFF), but you can also turn it back on (S-ON) and then send the device in for repair or replacement. With the Nexus line, once the device is NAND unlocked, you can't re-lock it. I really don't understand the mentality behind the people who decide to lock things down.

How is that possibly fine?

Take the Motorola Defy as an apt example because I have one - my earpiece has just stopped working.

It's absolutely nothing to do with the OS or whether it's rooted, it's a pure hardware problem and has been known to afflict fully stock handsets as well as rooted/modded ones.

Why should the mere fact that I've fiddled with the OS on my phone excuse a manufacturer from fixing hardware problems that have not been caused by my fiddling?
