[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
So I wanted an inline audio option for my 2004 Isuzu Axiom. I hate FM modulators, especially due to how I love road trips, always running into some nosey radio station trying to annex my music. I don't have a tape player, so those nifty contraptions are out. And if you saw how Isuzu decided to combine a radio, a/c and onboard computer (of sorts) then you would understand how complicated it would be to simply replace the radio (hell, I would lose the ability to change through different suspension presets among other things). Yeah, it is possible, but is it worth it, meh.

Well, w/me joining Google music beta, I have finally decided to do something about it w/this purchase.

For those that don't know, the TranzIt offers a direct, inline connection to your stereo by hooking it up inline through the antenna in. It also adds a 5volt charging station via USB, which, if I understand correctly, is the correct voltage for charging mobile phones and such as opposed to the voltage used by car chargers.

I also got a 1 meter long micro USB cable at no charge due to some special.

Obviously, it's not connected just yet, but I should be able to install it this weekend. After which, I'll update this post w/install pics, a review of both installation and actual usage. Once I get home, I'll edit a link into this post, but again, I can't verify whether it's worth it yet.

So, here are some pics still in the box...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
ok thats a inline fm modulator with a usb charging port the modulator will cut off the antennas connection to the radio while on and you will still have to tune it to a certain frequency to use it. but that is deffinatly a better option then using the regular fm modulators.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Yeah, but the operative statement "will cut off the connection to the" antenna feed, is what makes me so happy. My options are limited, and if I want to keep the installation at least fairly simple, than that drops my options even more.

I plan on placing the USB and audio in ports in an unused and available spot on the radio itself (basically next to my sport suspension preset and winter TOD preset) they have a couple of other areas that look like they were meant for other options and could look stock. Then I want to mount the power switch to on the dash or maybe in the center console next to the CD changer. The cord is more than long enough and it would be less conspicuous. I want it to look as OEM as possible. And looking over the contents of the box, it shouldn't be difficult to make it look like it belongs. I've done much more complicated NOS switches.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
How much does this options run???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I use the car charger to charge my G2x and I use the old tape player adapter for CD players and plug it in to the headphone port on the phone. Works awesome! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Yeah, I LOVE those tape player adapters! The sound was great, but my stock radio doesn't have a cassette player. But you're right, that is an awesome combo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
That's my hook-up also. With PowerAmp, those Bose speakers in my Maxima are getting a work-out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Well, it only took me almost 20 days, but today I decided to brave the 100+ degree heat and connect it up in my Axiom.

It turned out to be an easy set up, well, as far as connecting it up. I connected the power to the leads connecting to my cigarette lighter, although, when I go back in to place the connections in my console [or maybe in my ashtray, just some cuts to allow the wires] I think I'll directly connect it to the ignition.

Now for the review. F'N AWESOME! I'm running CM that comes preinstalled w/DSPManager, so I'm given a full gambit of audio options. Even w/o that, it still comes out crisp and works well w/my oem stereo and the options available through it.

It gives a 5 volt charge, which is the correct voltage as opposed to most car chargers that don't have the ability to drop down the voltage.

My only real issue is the fact the USB connection is for pwr only and I have to use a 3.5 audio connector to play the music. So I have 2 lines running from my phone to 2 separate jacks... I won't say it's a small issue either. I'm big on as few cables and as neat as possible, so this is a thorn in my side. I also understand though, that it's not as simple as just changing the wire or the USB port, so the possibility I'll ever find an aftermarket connector that offeres all in one isn't going to happen.

Overall, considering how much simpler this is than getting a new stereo, then customizing my console [the Axiom combines the A/C controls, GPS, damn near everything into the head unit] this was a much better option for me and I'm glad I got it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
best bet would be to hook into the accessory wire on your ignition. that way it only runs when your car is on.

is the cig lighter powered all the time? if it is you can hook a relay in between the cig lighter and car kit and use the accessory wire as a signal wire to tell the relay to turn on the power.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Yeah, that's the plan, the ignition at least. The only reason I connected it through my cig lighter was to get it done fast. I don't have the USB or audio port set where I want it either. I wanted an idea on how I liked it prior to putting any real time into it, especially cutting for the ports.

Several days into it now and I love it more than before. Decided I'm going to modify my ashtray to house the ports and the power switch. That way it'll stay incognito for the most part [since the available pop out tabs on the head unit aren't large enough to house the USB port for a more OEM look] and the light that activates at night, when opened, will be great as far as not fumbling around for the connections. Won't be this weekend, but once I get some time, I'm finishing this project up, my interior looks GHE-TTO and I don't like it.
[Droid 2 General] shdobxr:
Phone works just fine, but in my haste to flash a rom I didn't check my battery charge and screwed the pooch. So I hacked a USB cord to route power to the phone. In the process of doing so I somehow torched the ability to charge a battery. So I am thinking 50 bucks or something like that.

*sigh* so now I have a droid incredible 2

However, this means that for a small price someone could have this droid 2 to build on and know that it just needs soldered power conduit or if you are really $$ you could figure out how to fix the charging aspect of the phone.

Thoughts comments.

I have been stalking the forums here for quite sometime, make donations and generally keep my mouth shut.

Hello all.

And good night.

shameful bump
[Droid 2 General] ayerman3:
how much are you goin to sell it for and how extensive is the damage
[Droid 2 General] shdobxr:
Honestly the phone is a paper weight really for anyone looking to get practical mobility out of it.

The only way the phone will power on is with the hacked USB cable I have made. Basically overrides battery and powers the phone.

Would be ideal for someone who wants to try and have verizon fix it. Or to build ROMs on.

The phone is in slightly used shape. Screen is protected and flawless. Keyboard is find as well. Small nick on one of the corners. The phone will not recognize any new battery. Phone loads a display of a battery with a ? inside of it. When a battery is inserted.
[Droid 2 General] casca_the_immortal:
I am here to solve your problem my brutha :) Go to radio shack, they have a enercell universal charger for 40 bucks there that will let you charge ANY cell phone battery (did the same thing). Charge your battery and bring it back to the store for a full refund, or keep it like I did as I do stupid things regularly :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ickata:
Hello guys.

Wich would you consider to be the best office document editing app (especially for excell files) out there on the market, regardless of price?
[Acer Iconia A500] OutaDaDark:
Best MS compatibility for ME!!

QuickOffice HD- best compatibility I've found - about £9 in the market.

Only downside is that the app only accesses the internal memory (SDCard) not any external memory.

Hope someone can show me how soon.....
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I use docs to go.there are several none out there that is great at everything

Another options get a Hotmail account. Windows live.they have a cloud service you store documents with them and can edit and create Ms documents but it requires data services
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I found Polaris Office to be the best. You can even have it using all your favorite fonts if you put them in system/fonts.

Quickoffice HD is second best since it does miss proper size/alignments in ppt.

The rest can't even get page margins right, no use wasting your time for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] darkgoth678:
I am currently on my quest to fin the perfect office app as well. I mainly bought my Iconia for college so I need an app to be able to write papers with. I bought QuickOffice HD and yeah you can change the font, align text and font size, but you can't really do much else. You can't resize margins, can't edit or insert headers, can't even I out bullets! All of these crucial features for writting your MLA paper. I even tried importing a document that already had a header in it and you can see the header but you can't edit it.

I gave DocsToGo a shot and it seemed more featured packed with the paragraph edit and bullet input options, but I didn't go too far I depth with it since it was only the trial.

I'll have to give this one a try will report back!
[Acer Iconia A500] fogozito:
polaris office is the very best IMO
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
You guys can apply for the beta for softmaker. I won't give more details, it's nothing to be curious about unless you really want to help. It is laggy and unusable on tablets and the UI is not yet optimized, but it can display the page perfectly, paragraphs columns, everything and won't break the compatibility with MSoffice.
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
Polaris! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] lafatlife:
I have Polaris office but since I upgraded to android 3.1 I keep getting force close issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] dweebken:
Me too. Had to uninstall it because of that.
[Acer Iconia A500] dweebken:
If you're rooted you can get USB Mount All, which can mount your external_sd under the internal one so any other app can access it. Works for me on QuickOffice HD and Docs to Go.
[Acer Iconia A500] spr0k3t:
Ive been using Google docs without problems... works great on the phone and on the computer using LibreOffice. Can't stand MSOffice and the ribbonface.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Are they the one who broke up from open office after oracle bought it?
[Acer Iconia A500] dweebken:
Yes, that's libre office. But Oracle has now donated OpenOffice back to the open source world (APACHE) and IBM has donated millions of lines of code to OpenOffice from its Symphony product, so I think this'll breathe new life into OpenOffice now. See

Once rooted how do i delete sprint, amazon apps etc?

This is the main reason i wanted it rooted and it is now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Get Titanium Backup, and you can uninstall them with that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesumph:
+1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnewgaard:
Or if you don't care to have them back, just go through settings/application/manage and find the ones you want to delete. I and Some other people don't care to have those apps so why back them up? Sometimes its just a waste of time!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trsix:
backup etc

Most i just want gone! Like nascrap, sprint tv etc.

The Titanium Backup is probably a good idea in case you delete one program and it has an effect on one you want to keep. Heard of that happening.

**Problem is u go into manage apps and Uninstall is not an highlighted option on the ones they want to shove down your throat.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Some you want to keep are freindstream, g-talk and gmail...

But yeah, the NASCAR, NFL, Amazon, Peep, et al.... gone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
You can actually get rid of Friendstream too if you don't use, and also get rid of any of the social networking apps. I get rid of friendstream, , facebook, news, callender, footprints, rss reader, music, browser, app sharing, sprint hotspot, and several others, because I don't use them, or their are better replacements on the market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaanwarrior:
Titanium Backup is probably the best, but you could also use Root Uninstaller. This gives you a lot of options, such as freezing an app and restoring apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
I use Root Explorer, I have never used Titanium Backup but you should be able to use it.

[Thunderbolt General] duckwizzle:
Had my TB for about a month now, everything was great till my 3G decided it didn't want to work. It just died completely out of nowhere. So after googling,I found if I dial ##778#, I can reset my modem and my 3G will come back.

The first time it died I was on Das BAMF 3.0 RC. Dialing ##778# did not work. I just got a FC. So I said screw it and unrooted my phone and flashed the stock froyo ROM back. Used that for a few days and my 3G died again, so I tried ##778# and it worked, I got my 3G back. I figured it was a random bug, so I put a different ROM on - samething happened: no 3G, ##778# doesn't work. Since it died again, and I didn't have access to the menu to reset it, I had to unroot my phone again. So then I rerooted but kept the stock froyo rom on just in case (since I knew I could reset the 3G here). Everything is good so far...

Only problem is, I don't really wanna use the stock rom. Every rom I've tried doesn't seem to have ##778# working... do you all know anyway to access that menu other than dialing? Or a different way to access it on other ROMs? Thanks!

tldr: What ROMs allow me to dial ##778# to fix my phone loosing 3G randomly? Everyone I've tried I get FCs
[Thunderbolt General] brenick:
There is an app called phone info that allows you to do the same thing and should run on any routed Tbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] shovelheadhd:
LTE onoff is an app for the thunderbolt that puts you in the menu you are looking for also. If I remember correctly its from team AndIRC plus its free and works great

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vengence_angels:
hi guys..

would like to know if anyone is using the EzPDF reader on the flyer..

wanna check whether the magazine pdf file will fill up the whole screen on the flyer in portrait mode.. and if the text are readable (without having to strain the eyes) without having to zoom in..

I am able the read magazine pdf files on my Asus transformer..

on the verge of letting it go as the Flyer is more portable..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nebaneba:
I have it. I'm not sure if it makes the text more readable. Readability wise it's like the pdf reader that comes with the flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vengence_angels:
does the pdf viewer on the flyer make the text readable?..

just do not wish to strain my eyes..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
What do you mean? The quality of the screen? The viewers possibilities self or what?

All other stuff depends on the pdt self (text, document sizes, marges, etc.)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vengence_angels:
not quality of the screen but the text itself..

curious if the text is "big" enough to read comfortably when in full screen portrait mode..

do not wish to squint my eyes when i read the magazine in portrait mode..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Personally I prefer magazines on my iPad for the screen-size. I just downloaded a magazine onto my Flyr as a test. I used the default PDF app, with pen integration, and you can zoom in enough to read each column of text while in portrait mode. My magazine page had 4 columns per page probably a 10pt font.

I didn't check if the PDF viewer supports side by side (2 page) viewing and whether you could zoom in far enough to read text.

The Flyr seems fine for magazine viewing in portrait mode.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nebaneba:
It appears that your question is a hardware question and not a software question.

The transformer has 67% greater resolution than the flyer. In other words, both full screen, it contains up to 67% more detail. Physically the screen is about twice as large.

Thus, a rough estimate is if you take the text size on the transformer and cut it in half (50% ~ 67% zoom level) do you think you can read comfortably? If not, probably not.

If none of this makes sense, the short answer is, no, it is not going to be as comfortable as the transformer. Your arm will be more comfortable though :-P
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vengence_angels:
i agree with u..

this is more a hardware Qn..

my mistake..

i did what you mentioned actually..

i simulated the size of a 7" screen on my transformer using pinch to zoom..

cant read comfortably though.. haha..

however i have since sold my transformer and deciding between Flyer or Tab10.1..

transformer has a nice screen but the weight is killing me..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Flyer isn't exactly light either, but that's the tradeoff for a more durable aluminium case. My iPad isn't light either. But I definitely appreciate the durability of a metal case.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] madnlooney:
i use EzPDF, its not great on the eyes for reading text but you can zoom a little if need be. i would say with no doubt a bigger screen would be better
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vengence_angels:
It was heart wrenching to sell my transformer as it is a very good honeycomb device but the creaking back and light bleeding was too much for me to take..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Acers Iconia looks promising for a 10" Android Tablet. It's unfortunate of the price point of these devices... I guess we have Apple for setting the bar so high.

By experiment changed nv item 85 NV_SEC_CODE_I (SPC) from 000000 (hex 3030303030330) to hex (000000000000) and wrote qcn back to phone. writing to phone failed at 8% (possible at item85). Now I can only look some items but cant change SPC, cos it needs 6 digits input (in my case is NULL).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Se7enth:
I've had my phone for a few months now, was convinced to flash a custom ROM -- and chose Serendipity (Froyo version). I've tweaked it quite a bit, even got the ADWLauncher EX app for even more uniqueness and originality to it. I absolutely love the phone.

But suddenly today, WiFi isn't working. I can browse the internet on 3G just fine, but with a 200 MB plan, that's something I have to be cautious of. I know there's not a problem with the router because my maternal figure has the exact same kind of phone, just stock 2.2, and has no issue with WiFi whatsoever.

I had no issues for the past couple months I've had the phone rooted and flashed to Serendipity either. The internet on my computer works, internet on all other computers and internet-using devices works. It's just my phone. I've restarted the phone, attempted to forget and reconnect to the WiFi, even deleted data\wifi\bcm_supp.conf as a test to see if that'd fix it. Nothing has worked.

It's frustrating because I play a few games from time to time that require internet access, as well as use programs such as Trillian, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, etcetera that all require internet access, and I can't simply use 3G due to the data caps.

Any suggestions on regaining WiFi access, outside of reflashing the ROM?
