[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SoundSurfer:
Well, maybe start with USB Host? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] w04g005:
My suggestions:

- USB-Hub like Soundsurfer said

- Infrared adapter to control your home cinema (i saw that the new sony tablet s has it built in. maye we can port the software?)

- DVB-t

greetings
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
Great idea. I like it a lot.

I ordered a couple of these ACT4060 items:

ACT4060A SOP-8 ACT4060 Wide Input 2A Step Down

The idea is to take 15V from the tablet or charger and step down to 5V to power a USB hub, similar the the ASUS USB host device (same part).

I also thought to add a 5.5mm female barrel socket for charging with a 15V power supply, like these: Power Supply DC 15V

Note: Many other power supply are available from 12V-15V with 5.5mm barrel plug.

Great, thanks!

I do not think the HDMI output is on the 40 pin cable, but I could be wrong. There is audio available, because it is on the TF101 Desktop Stand.

Any links to an infrared control?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] w04g005:
Sorry,

i have no link for infrared control. I only have seen the video with infrared remote from the tablet s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbYzckPXJ2Q&feature=player_embedded

But we can try to combine a standard usb infrared adapter with the 40-pin connector. Maybe it doesn't work because of the lack of drivers (if they couldn't get extracted from the sony tablet). But i have to say that i'm neither a electronic technician nor a programmer. Only wanted to suggest my wishes ;-)

Maybe this can help:

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] kiwi32:
Can you make a regular USB cable with this connector ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] tengtengvn:
question: do you have the pin out of the 40-pin connector?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] fisha21:
This would be a great idea - this sort of feature makes the Sony offering stand out in an otherwise fairly homogenous tablet market. Don't know anything about how to do this though, but will post back if I manage to find out anything useful...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] w04g005:
Ok, i assume 2 or 3 pins on the 40-pin connector are for audio signals because the dock has an audio out! we could connect some irda leds to the pins like shown in this project:

www.irdroid.com

But i have to say that i read today about a new logitech product called: logitech harmony link

www.logitech.com/en-us/remotes/universal-remotes/devices/harmony-link

i think i will buy these to replace my harmony one.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Txsrooster:
how about a mini usb cord? So I could plug my DSLR camera into it and download the pictures on the fly?..or even a micro to plug the phone in...but if it was a USB hub, it would work as well..just a longer cord.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] fisha21:
Quick look on Google shows up this serial IR transceiver made by IguanaWorks. I'm afraid my electronics knowledge is very limited, but could the serial connector be replaced by these Asus-compatible adapters. I suspect the main problem might be the way the transceiver draws charge from the serial port to charge up the capacitor? According to the website, it uses LIRC so either the Irdroid or Androlirc apps might work (Androlirc requires an audio-IR device, so may need some tweaking, but is apparently open-source).

The other option might be the Newkinetix Re - whether it would be possible to replace the iThing connector with the ones you have located. Of course, the app is only for iOS, so yet another stumbling block.

I'm only feeding back the results of my digging, lack any of the required skills to make any of this work, so forgive if it all misses the mark completely.

Of course, this does also look pretty good, if you don't mind the IR extender "spiders" ... and the fact that the TV guide feature is only available for iPad (grr!)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] adamnz:
I thought this thread would be more popular. If the plug didn't cost so much to ship to my country I'd be building a wall charger with a long lead and a car charger.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] PatrickVogeli:
That's a nice find! Now if only we knew some technical details about the connector pin-out.. I guess a good start would be looking at what both docks have inside and the connector routings, I doubt they use any external electronics, so should be quite easy to do cool things.

EDIT: at least now we'll be able to do another cable.. buy a standard USB 3.0, cut one end out and solder the new connector. A bit of cleaning everything up and ready to go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
I finally got my USB Host Kit for the TF, so I can work on the connector pin out. The USB Kit did not work (for me) on the dock 40 pin socket, so apparently there are differences between the Dock and Tablet 40 pin sockets.

Can anyone can confirm the USB Kit does/does not work on the dock 40 pin socket?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
Seems many people like infra-red controls. Here is some pics of the I-Got-Control device for the iPod/iPad/iPhone.

There seems to be only a few lines connected to the Apple 30 pin connector. Does anyone have the pin-out for Apple 30 pin connectors?

I think this might be easily attached to the Asus USB Host or SD adapter.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pierut:
a backpack style add-on for the TF would be neat...something that adds a battery/usb/etc at the cost of making it a bit fatter and maybe taller..
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] MrNago:
Any updates on this?

Amazed at how hard it is to find a 30-pin connector pinout, seems Apple tweaked it a bit as new generations came along.

This is the kind of thread I love to see, on Android+TF!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] goodintentions:
If I were to solder every connector point through a wire, would connecting the dock from the side through the 40 pin connector to the bottom slot of the TF give the same communication as if the TF is docked? Been wanting to "dock" the tablet without actually having them together.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Magnesus:
Yeah, it would work, but instead of soldering better find connectors and a cable. I'm thinking of doing it to my USB adaptor (which is very badly done, completely loose).
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dragon_76:
Isn't that available all over the net?

hello people iam making the rom lotusmod for htc wildfire and the only thing whats not working is video filming.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I have tried these steps and nothing works..If i change the setting in the app to use the google voice app for receiving text it automatically un checks the box online in the google voice settings. When I recheck the box online the app reverts back to using the stock app for messaging in the goggle voice app. quite pissed off about it but i'm still receiving calls from my google voice number so I guess I will live with it until its figured out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
here's the essential part:

Check the box, but leave the browser window open so you can see it.

save the setting for using GVoice but leave the settings open so you can see it.

Then open a new browser window and text someone using the browser interface in a separate tab. I use Google Chrome and have the GVoice extension so I didn't need to do that.

The idea to get texts moving back and forth while both are checked without leaving so they can't uncheck (which they won't do if you stay in the windows).

Once you get the flow of traffic going, then leave those settings windows and never, ever go back to them. It's a cheap fix and a house of cards of sorts (i've accidentally undone my own work twice), but it does work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
Ok..this is what I discovered for me. I have an Evo3D flashed to boost and I have the same google voice number going to it as I do the touch. I was looking at my settings online and suddenly the box for receiving text to the 3D was unchecked so I rechecked it. Well when I did that my messages started going through the stock messaging app on the 3D :mad:. So I decided to uncheck both my Touch and my 3d in the settings online to receive text and now I'm getting my text back through the google app. This makes no sense but its working right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Tell me about it dude, I spent 4 hours finding my method last night and an extra hour today screwing around. I have the worst headache right now lol.

I didn't know you had two lines on GVoice, I have no clue how that works lol. Hopefully your tinkering helps others.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
They will both ring at the same time and its pretty good. I don't know whats going on but I don't see how I can be receiving text messages with it unchecked on the setting part on the web...oh well!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
yeah, it is a known issue and Google is working on it (at least according to their forums). it started with the newest Google Voice updates for honeycomb.

I actually got the E4T to lag last night using Google Voice..I felt it was brag worthy :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
That is brag worthy..lol. Well i'm glad to hear there working on it because I ported my number to google when they first started offering that option so I could have any phone and it would show up my work number...and thats why I need it to work because its my work number! lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
I suspect it'll be fixed in the next update or two.

If you didn't mind going through the WHOLE set up process again, you could find and download an older apk and just go back to a bug-free version. I have a transparent themed one and an inverted one from before the latest update and they worked fine before I updated it (ever since, they are screwed up).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I guess since I have it working for the moment I will leave it alone but thats an idea though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
You can find the themed ones in the apps/themes section of the OG epic 4g. search forum: Google Voice and you'll find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
Thank you sir...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
Are there similar settings for 3G?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Not 100% sure, but one tweak I did use on the Evo 4g that I just tweaked on this device is the:

RTSP Proxy Address changed to 0.0.0.0

RTSP Proxy Port to 0

HTTPPD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0

HTTPPD Proxy Port to 0

Stock is:

RTSP Proxy Address: rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com

RTSP Proxy Port: 554

HTTPPD Proxy Address: pd.vog.sprintpcs.com

HTTPPD Proxy Port: 8085

To get here dial ##3282#

Enter MSL

Click on Others

Click on Multimedia

It is suppose to help streaming and 3g. Try it, if it doesn't work go back to the stock settings above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kivamaki:
Im really curious if this works for 3g. No 4g in indianapolis and 3g speeds are usually 100kb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I need to do this. ASAP. I just need my MSL and don't feel like dicking around with CS right now. Anyone have another way to get your MSL?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I called *2 and first thing I asked was for this and she gladly gave it to me, as always it is hit and miss. If they don't do it, hang up try again. There are other ways but I think they all pretty much require root, I could be wrong though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
to the OP.. i dont have the phone yet but im wondering about the wimax settings myself.

first thing to try.. ##DATA# but instead of going to edit.. go to view. see if theres a wimax setting in there. it does NOT show up when u pick "edit". if there IS a wimax option under ##DATA# > view.. then it will most likely require your MSL.

another place to try is ##DEBUG# which will require MSL as well. there might be wimax settings somewhere in there.

one last thing i'd like you to try is to install AnyCut from the android market(free). open it and choose to add shortcut or whatever(forget the exact option) and it will give you a list of all the system apks/menus on your phone.. scroll down and see if there are any wimax options. if there are.. could you please list them? could you also make shortcuts for each wimax option you do see and run them to see if you find anything interesting.

please report back with details. you're my eyes on this for now ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
You are 100% correct. The wimax settings are in " view" and not "edit". This is the same way it was for epic1, now to get my msl? Does connectbot require root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Isn't it getprop.ril MSL in terminal? Not 100% certain but I did the 4G tweak on my Epic and it made a big difference. Let me search for the thread from the Epic forum that has a full how-to..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
I just used terminal emulator to get my MSL. It worked just fine and no root. I was thinking I needed to be rooted too, before I tried it, but it worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Double post edit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
can you explain how you got it then?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Thanks, and you're right, I can only view it. I'll try the rest too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clubtech:
How did u get the MSL with terminal emulator?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Alright, with you last paragraph I think I may have found it. Here is what was listed and here is how to do it (you have to have 4g on in order to make changes however):

WiMax CT

WiMax DM

WiMax Mode Change

WiMax_CFG

WiMax_CFG

WiMax_NETEST

WiMax_RC

WiMaxLineTest

In order to make changes such as these (There may be more or better ones listed for the Epic 4g but these ones are for the EVO 4g) follow these guides:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733773

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726877

Download Any Cut from the market, open it and choose New Shortcut, then choose Activity. Scroll down to WiMax_CFG (the first one, there after two listed) and it will create a shortcut on your home screen. Open that and select Extensions and make the changes from the threads above in that menu (just long press what you want to change and click save, it will automatically change it). You might have to reboot your phone in order for them to actually take but I'm still not sure if this all works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
It also looks as though you may be able to adjust frequencies. I'm tempted to test them. In	wimax_cfg the first one under MRU you'll see 4 sts of frequencies and you can edit then it seems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Honestly, I haven't changed a thing yet..notice my 4G in the 2nd screenie. I don't know if changing latency to change 4G on time will use more battery or not
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I think it probably will, but not certain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
A different route I found is to turn 4g on, go to the dialer, enter ##3282# click view them click Wimax. Enter your MSL and choose extensions from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clubtech:
To get your MSL code, download terminal emulator from the market and typs:

getprop ril.MSL

The output will be your MSL number.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xJeganx:
Both getprop ril.MSL and just doing a getprop and searching for the MSL manually don't return any results. I've called Sprint but the rep wouldn't give it to me. Maybe I will try calling again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Keep calling, eventually one will give it to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Did you make sure you put the "MSL" in capital letters? It makes a difference. I just tried it again and it worked first time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
Ok so there's a wimaxlinetest option when viewing AnyCut? could you make a shortcut to that then run it.. then take a screenshot wimaxlinetest.apk app when opened? please

thank you :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
Can confirm that changing the 3g settings worked on mine. Definitely have faster 3g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] javamaddie:
To get my MSL, I had to change to the input method from swype to samsung keypad because swype would capitalize the "I" in ril.MSL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
I also found that using swype to enter it didn't work -- when I switched to the samsung keyboard, all was well

Edit: Sorry for the dup... didn't see javamaddie's post above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
Sweet... I noticed it changef the lowercase I to a capital I when I tried. Now ilk try with the samsung keyboard. Should work

Edit: worked fine for me once i cjanged keyboards... Also sammy kybd sucks lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
What the heck, that was easy LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Is it not possible to clear data profile in ##3282#? Used to do this on evo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
not much to see really, but I'll post a screen shot in a few. All it seemed to do was make sure everything is running properly. But you obviously know more than I do on all this, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kunji:
what does this do?

what exactly does this tweak do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
The tweak for 4g will help you pick up weaker signals, it will connect to a signal faster, and it won't drop the signal if you lose it as fast (it will try to reconnect faster).

Can someone who hasn't done the WiMax tweak post up the stock settings for me, I forgot to do so before I made the changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diesel556:
It's a good thing that my wife has an untouched ET4G, because I did the same thing you did.

ScanAttemptTimeout: 2

ScanRetries: 120

IdleSleep: 10

EntyRx (SIC): -00089

EntryCINR: 00006

EntryDelay: 00300

ExitCINR: 00002

ExitDelay: 00002

I hope this helps.

For those who do not know. Creating a shortcut using the Anycut app to Activity -> WIMAX DM gives a summary of your current 4G connection details.

You can view the wimax state, signal strength, signal quality, etc. It makes troubleshooting 4G much easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
thank you.. it actually didnt have what im looking for.. but appreciate it.

theyve removed the option to edit the mac address.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I think I saw that setting somewhere else. I'll see if I can find it again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
please report back if u do find anything! im only going by how the original epic was setup. wimaxlinetest allowed it.. also wimax ct. BUT.. wimax ct on the epic touch has the "set" button removed from editing the mac. you can view that in ##DEBUG# > WiMax CT.

but keep me posted. thanks again.

Did not work for me here in dallas. Ugh... Ping > 1000 ms. Download and upload < 100kbps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
less than 100kbps is pretty poor. seems like a bad tower.. or maybe an issue with the data profile.

if you do ##DEBUG# > evdo engineering. you have an ip listed at the bottom? and AN-AAA shows "Pass" ?

if so then it seems its a tower issue.. maybe try driving to a diff area and running a speedtest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
WiMax CT is where I saw it, it allows me to input text but like you said there is no set button.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

I see the same thing, does this mean they are working on the nearest tower to me? Wondering if I should complain so they fix it sooner, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
hmm maybe theres just some serious throttling going on.. preparing for iphone 5?

or speedtest app just sucks. i like to tether to a computer and run a speed test on a real browser to see what im really getting.

and this sucks about the mac address thing! *shakes fist lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
I just tried this and noticed something strange... I restarted my phone, went back into the WiMax settings, and as soon as the screen came up to show the numbers, a pop-up stated "WiMax configured". The settings automatically went back to stock. Can someone else here verify?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
what settings did u change exactly? wondering if there was one setting that shouldnt be changed and its protected somehow.

has this happened to anyone else in here??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Wow so for me when i went into Other>Multimedia and changed all the proxy settings.....my internet became MUCH faster! Thanks! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
just did the tweaks. can confirm i CONSISTENTLY scored ~350 kb/s faster on 4g and it connects slightly faster (i already thought EP4G connected pretty fast, stock). btw im sitting in my basement so i was impressed it connected at all, let alone held its signal.

i cannot confirm that it holds a signal longer since it is 2:30 am and i am not going anywhere and i would have nothing to compare it to accurately.

i suspect that because it will be searching more frequently and searching for lower signals it will drain more battery than usual but, again, i cannot confirm how much of a difference.

But it worked! rest assured :) thanks OP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psone:
What does it mean or what do we do if we get "Fail" next to AN-AAA ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MedicStuder:
Mine says fail next to an-aaa
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
Many thanks to the OP for posting these tweaks!

I did both the 3g & 4g tweaks. Both resulted in higher speeds. And I was pleased to notice the 4G tweak didn't cause increased battery drain (perhaps because it spent less time disconnecting & reconnecting).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azmtbiker:
Tweaks did not help

When I go from one spot to another in the car, the 4g signal is lost and phone reverts to 3g.

I have to toggle 4g off/on to reconnect.

I did the tweaks but no help.

Did the tweaks improve this for anyone? Anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
These tweaks definitely helped me but as always YMMV. Which tweaks did you actually do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
Same thing with me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Wimax isn't really all that reliable when moving, that's why using these tweaks will help, but won't fully fix connection and reconnection issues.

No speed problems on 4G here. These speeds are without any tweaks. I am in the Raleigh, NC area....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strung:
Setting the minimum signal to -110 dBm verses the default of -89 seems to help a lot in weak signal areas.

Is that inside our outside speeds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
Where is this setting and is it for 3g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strung:
not for 3g. its the WiMAX_Entry_RX in the ##3282# menu
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
it could be a s/w bug reporting incorrectly.. but generally an-aaa fail means your 3g(evdo) is not getting authenticated properly. if youre using sprint.. running a profile update might fix this. if youve cloned your phone.. or are using it on another cdma carrier.. you may have set data up incorrectly.
