[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
Decided to make a seperate thread for this. Maybe a mod could move those posts over...

So I just made a little USB breakout cable so I could do a little investigation..

Oddly, even with the stock charger and the data lines disconnected the Atrix will not charge. I'm supecting most AC chargers must supply power on the data lines as well, or do something with them that triggers the device to charge.

As for the voltage, my hub and oem charger both throw out 5.12v with no load. When I plug the phone in, there is no drop at all.

From what my googling turns up, I may need a 180ish ohm resistor between the data lines. The phone looks for that to enter charging mode. Apparently this is why the drivers are needed for charging on some computers. Instead of resistance, it gets the charge signal from the pc.

So anyway out of curiosity I also took a few load readings:

Battery at 40%, screen off, phone idle: 600~ma

The most I could get it to pull was with battery at 40%, streaming last fm over a BT headset, and running quadrant. I saw around 690ma at peak.

Voice calls don't seem to make much of a difference. 10-15ma.

I'm going to check again with a full battery once it's charged. That ought to tell us what the phone itself is using.
[Atrix 4G General] Recon Freak:
I'm using a 550ma 5v charger because it has a longer reach. I stream music, cruise the net, watch videos and it charges my phone no problem.
[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
So with a completely full battery:

Idle, screen off: 100~ma

full load (same as before): 400ma at peak
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Either I am lucky and got a better one, or everyone else is wrong on the standard charger. Mine is 850ma. Also, my phone will charge on USB 2 (500ma) if screen is off and I do not use the phone. It's slow but it charges. On USB 3 it charges about half the speed it does on mains.

scoob-

"As for the voltage, my hub and oem charger both throw out 5.12v with no load."

Were you using a lab calibrated voltmeter? <G>

Most digital multimeters have a stated accuracy something like 1/2 to 1% on the DC voltages, and then they also have a "float" of 2-4 LSD meaning, the least significant digit (the rightmost one on whatever scale) may float by 2-4 digits.

So on a typical meter where you have a choice between a 2.000 volt scale, and a 20.00 volt scale, "_5.00" on the display could just as easily read "5.05" if it is was 1% off, within the limits of accuracy. And then 5.05 could read 5.09 or 5.00 as the digits float. The errors sometimes cancel out, sometimes accumulate.

I've seen much worse as they get old and out of calibration, where a "12.00" volt reading on one meter was 12.3 on another.

Which is just to say that 5.12 might actually be 5.00, or whatever the USB spec actually calls for. (It doesn't have to be 5.00 exactly.)

I had no idea they needed a signal voltage (available from the data lines on microUSB but not miniUSB) to enter charge state. That "should" mean that you can't use a miniUSB charger with a micro adapter for simple charging. I'll have to try that to see what happens. [ [LATER] Nope, something's not right about needing the signal resistor, because I just charged my Atrix using a miniUSB charger (no data signal possible) with a mini-to-micro power tip adapter, which "should" not be presenting any signal, just passing through the 4 old style connections. ]

There will still be simple--if unpublished or poorly documented--rules of physics governing what happens. Battery charging isn't rocket science, although battery chargers are sometimes "smarter" than rockets are.<G>
[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
CaelanT,

Mines also 850ma..

Rred,

I actually splurged on a very (I think) good meter a few years ago. It's a Fluke 187. They claim .025% DC accuracy. Granted, I've had it a few years and never sent it back in for calibration. :D

I actually found two sides to having a resistor in the connector.

One story starts with Motorola trying to enforce people using only "genuine" chargers. Link

The other points to the data lines being shorted to indicate to the device that it is a dedicated charging device. Link Skip to the last paragraoh on this page. It's very long winded.

I actually tore apart a old car charger, in the mini usb plug there lied a small resistor between the data pins. I didn't believe how simple it was until I saw it.

Pretty interesting stuff. For us geeks anyway. :) :)
[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
scoob, a Fluke is like a Rolls-Royce, except it is more reliable.<G>

The resistors are documented as part of the microUSB spec, they are what are often called "pull-up resistors", i.e. the voltage they provide to the fifth wire "pulls up" the voltage on that line and the tiny brains see that as a signal to do something specific.

Even the Palm Treos used this system. Not on the power line, but on the audio jack. they use a single 3-wire 2.5mm standard minijack and depending on the impedances that they see on it, they will provide mono audio, stereo audio, or mic input plus mono audio, so that three types of devices all plug into the same plug--but all three are sensed and work differently. As Arthur Clarke said "Any sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic."

There's no Moto conspiracy to the resistors, the new microUSB spec provides magic and the industry just doesn't want to bother our pretty little heads by talking about it in any detail.

Now, why Moto omitted the call audio routines from the library on these phones...THAT'S probably a conspiracy.<G>

I'm not reading all 480+ pages of the final USB3 spec, but it appears to refer to standard devices as consuming one "unit" of power at 150mA, with a maximum of six "units" or 900mA, and a maximum voltage of "5" which would mean that if Moto is supplying 5.12V @ 1000mA...they've exceeded the spec and aren't entitled to use the USB logo.

But if they'll fix my call audio library, I won't tell a soul about that.<VBG>

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
I have done zero looking into this. But I do know that without 'voice capable' enabled in the framework-res, google voice and the like don't work for Nexus 7. With that changed it does.

If you have working headset audio, well I would try that next.

Edit: Here. I ran it though the auto-patcher. This allows the N7 to use Google Voice, it may do nothing for your project.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danformer:
Thanks I took a look into it and didn't get much luck. Good news is that I found an alternative. Oovoo works with the nook color so I can see my friends video even though they can't see me. Thanks for the support guys. :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Mateorod, can you be more specific what you changed in framework-res? I use Google Voice a lot and it crashes on my Nook HD+ stock. I would love to fix that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Well usually I would tell you to just use the auto-patcher, but I haven't modified it for 4.2 yet. But that update is almost done. If this turns out too be useful to you guys the I will let you know for the future.

For right now, you will either need to be building from source, or have the latest apktool that works on Jellybean apps. Look at iBotPeaches' apktool thread, paulobrien submitted a patch that lets that work.

Decompile the framework-res.apk:

apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d framework-res.apk

The first command installs the framework files ( reference material for apktool), usually not strictly necessary for custom ROMs but still a good idea just in case.

From there it is easy. Go to framework-res.out/core/res/red/values/books.xml and look for the boolean value "voice-capable" and change it to 'true'. You may end up enabling the Dialer as well, which you can uninstall, i believe.

apktool b framework-res.out framework-res.apk2

The above will recompile, remember to use an archive manager (7zip or something) to look inside the original framework-res.apk and move anything to framework-res.apk2 that is missing. Retitle your new apk to framework-res.apk and flash through a zip or install with adb.

Now, with a microphone, you should have VOIP calls through Google Voice, GrooveIP and the rest.

Edit: This post was updated with recompile instructions. I am not at home and wrote this off the top of ,my head, so let me know if something isn't working as expected maybe I have made a mistake. But it looks right. This mod will be in the auto-patcher for 4.2 pretty darn soon, to make it easier for everyday users.

Edit2: I just saw the post in your pm says 'Rooted HD+ running CM10" which means you can use the publically available version of the Auto-patcher and test this easily, with a restore.zip made.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Thanks, will try the setting change. I want to change the framework-res on the stock HD+ which is ics. But I can try manually editing the apk.

Edit: I did edit it successfully but it did not fix my fc problem on the HD+ and GV. Thanks though.

if its no hardwarefault it should work fine if you wait a few seconds (it tooks 3 attempts to figure out that it takes between 5 and 10 seconds for me to work.)

if this wont help the jtag is possibly your last choice.

Version 1.3 [Released 9/7/11]
​

Proton Voltage Control is an easy to use app that allows you to set custom voltages for Nexus S phones running a supported version of Netarchy and Matr1x kernels (1.3.0.6 for Netarchy and 4.0 for Matr1x and up) :D This means you no longer have to muck around with command line codes and scripts, just one easy to use app!

Downloads

Update 16/9/11: Due to requests, I have built 1.3 again but with a different release key. Please UNINSTALL any old version before installing!

Version 1.3 ProtonVoltageControl-130.zip

Emergency Restore: proton_emergency_boot.zip

Usage

Enter in your new voltages in the 8 text boxes, or use one of the 3 buttons at the top to give you a base to try.

Hit Apply to set temporarily, and see how the voltages perform. If you reboot at this stage, the new voltages will be lost

If these new voltages work well on your phone, enter them in again and this time check 'Save on Boot' then hit Apply. These voltages should be applied upon startup every time now :D

Easy! ;)

- It is easier to press one of the 3 voltages buttons to give you a base to work on

- The suggested voltages is mostly -20mV on all frequencies (from stock voltages) except for 1.4ghz and 1.3ghz which have been raised ever so slightly

- 'Save on Boot' creates an init.d script called proton_voltage_control with your entered values, so don't be alarmed if you see an extra init.d script

- Press Menu and Emergency Boot Zip to download a flashable update.zip to remove any 'Save on Boot' files in case you can't boot up due to setting the voltages too low. Boot into Recovery and flash like any other update.zip ;)

Enjoy! Please ask if you have any questions, I will try to help with them. Standard disclaimer applies, I claim no responsibility for anything that goes wrong with your phone due to misuse of this app.

Also on the Market! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jonathongrigg.proton.voltagecontrol

Proton Voltage Control is fully open sourced
