I remember I used to be able to click in google maps and get coordinates. Useful, when I was in the middle of the lake and I wanted my friends to know where I was.
[Android Apps and Games] cormie:
Thanks for the tip! I run a delivery company and use coordinates all the time. They are easy to get from the laptop but tried and failed numerous times to get them from my phone. This is a bit of an awkward way but at least it works. I don't know why Google don't implement a coordinate feature into the mobile app, it's such an essential tool for driving, gets you to within 5 meters of a point :)
[Android Apps and Games] galaxytab1:
I used to get coordinates this way and use it in Evernote. I guess this method is now obsolete as any attempt to share the place from Google Maps yields only a link and some texts.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Found a workaround: just head over to your browser and load Google Maps. Search for a place and hold down, use the 'what's here' option. It will search using coordinates and they will be visible in search box.

Also, the url generated from sharing a location in Google Maps app when loaded shows the coordinates in search box (at least in the mobile browser)

Hey guys, thought I'd post up the pinouts. They match the Iphone ones in case anyone is wondering/wanting to make a breakout cable so that you can use headphones and an external mic.

Going from the center outward, i.e. tip to ring1 to ring2 to sleeve:

Tip = Left Channel Output

Ring 1 = Right Channel Output

Ring 2 = Ground (Shared with Microphone)

Sleeve = Microphone

Verified working with my old Logitech PC microphone. I have not checked if there is "phantom power" on the Mic lines (for electret mics).

Thanks!

if this is the case, i wonder why square readers do not work. Maybe honeycomb?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] s_life:
So there are no combined mic/headphones headsets on the market that would work with transformer (skype, gtalk, etc.)?

Tried to google it with no luck :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] verkion:
dcmtnbkr: what are square readers? I managed to get the external microphone working with no problem yesterday.

s_life: any "made for iPhone" mic/headset should work. Same pinouts as them. I just wanted to make a breakout cable for more flexibility.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xformulax:
pretty typical 4 pole TRRS plug.... common knowledge really.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] verkion:
True...except that R2 and Sleeve are often reversed. Thought I'd do others a favor in case they wanted to make a breakout cable. *shrug* you don't need to know, then good for you.

verkion
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] 0mie:
Mine works just fine...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xformulax:
well the standard is r2/sleeve reversed, but ever since apple decided to swap them, they became the new standard... anyone would be crazy to release a product that didn't follow that... 99% of products are now compatible with the apple standard, if they want any sales.

i know why you posted it though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mindorensis:
Thanks for the info!

I'm trying with several headsets, from Nokia (WH-205)and from "for iphone"(iFrogz Luxe with mic)

the result was weird tho....

If I plug in the jack fully, 1) Nokia headset's mic don't work, but R/L output is OK

2) "For iPhone" headset's mic is working, but only give me right channel.

but if I plug in the jack only the TRR parts with out the S, 1) Nokia headset work perfectly with both R/L channel output and mic input, but 2) "For iPhone" one still only give me right channel with mic.

Any thought?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Ro Ablate:
Thanks for posting what hardware worked and this pinout.

However, with previous hardware, I have found even the spacing of a quad plug is important.

If you have a micrometer, could you please post some measurements?

If you have a decent macro camera, could you please post a picture?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] leonbamford:
Hi verkion, I am looking for the same thing here; to record from the internal mic and use the headphones simultaneously with my Asus Transformer. I am wanting to achieve this to turn my Transformer into a multi-track recorder, so I have been using the J4T and FourTracks apps.

Not being too handy with a soldering iron, I brought a pre-made breakout cable which states that it works with iPods (as this post indicates that they are wired the same - amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004SP0WAQ).

However, I am having problems getting this working. I cannot verify that the cable is at fault as I don't have any other devices to test this with, so I was wondering what app you used to record audio and listen at the same time?

Strangely, J4T doesn't recognise the mic and headphone simultaneously, and only picks up the mic alone after this is inserted after it is launched. FourTracks does recognise both, but only after pulling the jack out a little so the tip doesn't contact (and this results in a far lower level signal).

Do you have any advise that you could throw my way? Am I using a cable with the non-iPod wiring, or are the apps simply not up to the task? Cheers in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] kamei86i:
Hi to all,

i think it is a development question but i cannot post in the proper section. I'll try to be very quick with this issue.

I'm trying to develop an application layar based, so it launches layar when i press a button. My problem is where user authentication was enabled, because layar requires a valid cookie to launch a layer. In fact using layar normally, when i launch my layer it requires me to login (with a custom webpage) and then i can see my point of interests. In my application i'm supporting user authentication to enable auth user functions (e.g. particular requests to my server that use cookies), and i would like to mantain this login when i launch layar too, but now i cannot obtain it. Someone knows how to "pass" my login cookie to layar when a i launch it with an intent?

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(getString(R.string.launchlayarurl)));
startActivity(i);

thanks to all

I want to remove some of the unused apps from my phone could you please tell me what App to use

Sent from arc LT15i using XDA App
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frenchdroid:
Dude - are you sure you should be removing apps if you don't know what to be removing them with. No disrespect, just saying.

Anyway, if you want to remove apps, I assume you aren't talking about just any old app ??? Because of course, you can just uninstall apps within Settings, Applications, Manage Applications on vanilla Android.

If you want to remove system apps and stuff that can't be removed in Settings, Apps, ..., then you need something like Titanium Backup (I'm sure thats what most would recommend). Again, if you didn't know this already, I would recommend reading up on it. It needs you to be rooted, which isn't a problem if you read the threads on here. It also needs some know-how about what is safe to remove (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089470).

If you just need to get rid of bloatware, you could flash a cleaner firmware that doesn't have lots of useless apps (I'm thinking of all the apps included in the France Orange firmware).

I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruceko86:
Hi, Guys I don't own a SG2 but I am thinking of getting one. I searched the forum and wasn't able to find any info or samples.

I am thinking of SG2 or a Xperia Arc. I know Arc is **** but I really want a good quality camera for night photos. As long as the SG2 camera is better than iphone 4 and comparable to arc I think i'll jump the gun. Right now i am using Desire Z and the photos are crap compared to my nexus S.

oya I searched online reviews and sample but they only do daytime photo samples which I find almost useless.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
I think the camera is pretty decent.

Better than that of the Iphone 4.

You can not expect it to be anywhere near as good as a real (dslr) camera, but for a phone camera its among the best. I doubt the camera of the Xperia Arc is better.

Also, please note that the front-facing camera is really good too. Its very sensitive - noticably more sensitive than that of the iPhone - so you can use it in moderate to dark conditions and see something where others will just give you a black picture.

Why don't you order it at Amazon? - there you can try it out for a almost month before deciding if it is good enough for you and sending it back or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarpathianUK:
I've never had an iPhone so can't be truly impartial but my SGS2 seems like one of the better mobiles to handle darker lit areas. Yeah, it has a little of the usual traits for this sort of kit - understandable given that it is a phone after all - but it's certainly no slouch when the lights go down.

My personal experience seems to be backed up by a lot of the reviews online though, as you say, not many of them actually print sample night/dark photos to prove it!

If you search on Eurodroid for "Samsung Galaxy S II review: Camera and video samples" you'll find an example shot and comment. That's just one so hardly fully representative but it's something to start with!.

edit: I knew I'd seen it somewhere - there's a gallery of 14 pictures taken in varying light conditions comparing the SGS2 and the Arc over on the android50 site. Search for "Camera showdown: Samsung Galaxy S II versus Xperia arc". Looks like the exact thing you need to help make your choice!

thats RAM, we all show 411 (or so) RAM under android. (576 total - 128 graphics - approx 25 meg that i dont know where it goes)

For rom click settings - storage and in the bottom half is shown internal storage. This only shows the data partition size, it doesnt include the system, cache or boot partitions.

For an eu phone, running a cm7 rom, it will show around 200/220 meg total, for a fully inclusive sense rom it will be wayyyy less. 50 meg or so.

if you are running an ext partition, this will not be included as internal storage, BUT the system, will use it as if it is internal storage, so that 200 figure will stay fairly constant as you install apps.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Azhad:
Using a soft keyboard different than the Asus one, when the dock is connected an annoying message pop up telling us that if we don't change the soft keyboard to the asus one, the dock keyboard could not function well.

This is mostly important for non US users, as when the soft keyboard isn't the Asus one, the layout used for the dock is the standard US one.

Root needed

Using Autostarts we can disable the popup when the dock is connected:

Download autostarts from the market, open the app, let it load all the the way, then click on Asus Keyboard under "Docking changed" and disable it

or in terminal

adb shell

su

pm disable com.nuance.xt9.input/.DockEventReceiver

For permanently change the standard layout of the dock keyboard:

Locate your national keychars in /system/usr/xt9/keychars

mine is qwerty-it_IT.kcm

The first 2 character after the - is the language of the keyboard, in my case Italian, the 2 characher after the _ is the country of the keyboard, Italy in my case.

copy this file in /system/usr/keychars

rename the standard one asusec.kcm in asusec.kcm.old for backup purpose.

then rename the one you copied in asusec.kcm

Locate your national layout in /system/usr/xt9/keylayout

mine is qwerty-it_IT.kl

copy this file in /system/usr/keylayout

rename the standard one asusec.kl in asusec.kl.old for backup purpose.

then rename the one you copied in asusec.kl

reboot and you are all done :)

P.S.

you can use root explorer to copy and rename those files, or you can do it with adb.

If you don't know how to use those, maybe is better to learn before messing around in the system files.

P.P.S.

If anyone know a free app that can replace autostarts, let me know so I can update the guide.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
Great guide, thx a lot! If we mess with keychars and keylayout, we could also remap specific keys, right?

For example, I don't really need the three brightness buttons on the dock, i barely change brightness, and if i have to sometimes, i don't mind browsing to settings-->display.

Can we remap these to different keys OR specific apps, OR even better: to key combinations? Would be cool to have cut, copy and paste on the brightness buttons. What do you think?

Plus, one more off topic thing, I think you could know: Is there a file which could change mouse button mapping and perhaps enable additional mouse buttons (thumb mouse buttons for example)? I though of setting the "menu" key to the right mouse button instead of "back" for example.

Regards

qwer23
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Azhad:
You can remap any key you want, I've seen a guide somewhere in the forums.

For the mouse I don't think you can do anything without some serious hacking, the dock trackpad follow the standard rules for mouses in android: left click = click, right click = back, whell button click = menu.

I also hate how they have implemented the 2 finger scrolling, when you scroll actually the trackpad long click where the cursor is, and invert the axis of the trackpad, so when you scroll down you are in fact long pressing and scrolling the cursor up, and so on.

It messes so many apps, as this simulated long click can be registered by the app
