[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
My understanding was that without an antenna - the BT signal will not leave the NT enclosure, much less reach a wireless device next to it.

Would be glad to know I am wrong on this - but I don't think I am.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bogatyr:
If it lacks the antenna but has the chip, might be possible to swap out a NC antenna.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Or make one. A little dipole isn't much more than a cat hair. Usually getting on the board is the challenge.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Here is a link to a BT antenna datasheet:

http://www.auden.com.tw/TRC/tw/product/pdf/41.pdf

Theye are easy to come by, very generic, and very inexpensive - but surface mount technology is very hard to add after the fact.

At the very least - hopefully the NT has the unpopulated lands for one.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dexx0008:
Perhaps I am wrong but I didn't believe the NC had an antenna and that was why the range was so short, ie ~foot max.

after searching lots of threads it looks like nc shared the same antenna as wifi. there is no dedicated antenna for bluetooth though in NC, so either it is sharing it or it's non-existant.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
That has to be an easy one for someone here to answer - did the NC have a BT antenna?

I thought it did...

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
It's a lousy teardown compared to the one for the KF. Half of it is devoted to meaningless appearance comparisons, and none of the PCB parts are shown in detail.

Anyway, battery spec is same as the NC (3.7V, 4Ah), and is less than the KF (3.7V, 4.4Ah). Interesting that cited battery life is longer than both the KF and the older NC, especially given the NT's x2 RAM. Either somebody is being optimistic, which is likely, or the KF's custom UI sucks both speed and power.

The Bluetooth situation looks to be the same as the NC and KF, even if there isn't a close-up of the chip involved. There's a single connector for the wifi antenna pigtail. The short of it is that BT will probably the work same as the NC, ie close-range only since no BT antenna.

The Nook Color's layout of the wifi module is almost identical (below). The ZDNet's NC teardown was more detailed, but didn't remove the heat shielding for the money shot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Thank you! Those pictures help a lot. That last one is an excellent picture.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Speedy Gonzalez:
Thanks for the bluetooth info guys , here is the spec sheet of the screen but it says is TFT not IPS or I am wrong http://lcd.eechain.com/datasheet_detail.asp?bg_key=E1&sk_nub=LD070WS2-SL02
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
IPS is a type of TFT panel
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Speedy Gonzalez:
Edit: IPS is not a type of TFT

IPS from wiki:

In-Plane Switching was developed by Hitachi Ltd. in 1996 to improve on the poor viewing angle and the poor color reproduction of TN panels at that time.[6] Its name comes from the main difference from TN panels, that the crystal molecules move parallel to the panel plane instead of perpendicular to it. This change reduces the amount of light scattering in the matrix, which gives IPS its characteristic wide viewing angles and good color reproduction.[7]

Initial iterations of IPS technology were plagued by slow response time and a low contrast ratio but later evolutions have made marked improvements to these shortcomings. Because of its wide viewing angle and accurate color reproduction (with almost no off-angle color shift), IPS is widely employed in high-end monitors aimed at professional graphic artists, although with the recent fall in price it has been seen in the mainstream market as well.

TFT from wiki :

Thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is a variant of liquid crystal display (LCD) which uses thin-film transistor (TFT) technology to improve image quality (e.g., addressability, contrast). TFT LCD is one type of Active matrix LCD, though all LCD-screens are based on TFT active matrix addressing. TFT LCDs are used in television sets, computer monitors, mobile phones, handheld video game systems, personal digital assistants, navigation systems, projectors, etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
According to the Engadgit review--the only one to have a standardized run-down test--the NT's battery life is indeed significantly better than the KF, despite a smaller battery:

Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet - 8:20

Amazon Kindle Fire - 7:42

I'm revising my opinion to say that it's likely due to NT's better hardware design (improved from the old NC), even with x2 RAM and x2 flash storage.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
I've been hammering away on my NT all day and still have over 85% battery life. This thing lasts a long time, but so did the battery on the NC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
I would be willing to say that most of the perceived battery life difference is due to differences in the display hardware.

Everything else is just too close, hardware-wise. Ram takes nothing compared to the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nintendolinky:
Hi i have just managed to get hold of a Galaxy Nexus however one of my key apps to get to work Arriva has its text all misaligned is there any chance someone could fix the issue for me, otherwise I will have to go back to another android phone. I can provide pics and titanium backups of the app, if anyone could help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
It's an issue that the app developer should address. Contact them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nintendolinky:
I know but its a very old app, could i possibly get a kind soul to help fix the issue or at least get some info on how to do it myself, its kinda vital i get this apps text to center as i can still see if its just kinda all sqwashed to the left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Hmm I'm not sure if anyone can do anything about it without access to that app's source code. All I know us that the problem is caused by a different way ICS passes the screen resolution to the app to older versions of Android. I've got it with a lot of apps too. Well, good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
you will have to get in touch with the developer of the application and get them to update it for Android 4.0

considering it is Arriva, my guess is you're going to be ****e out of luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sweerts:
You'd better mail the developer of the app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ali87:
Hello all :),

Is there a way to get an audio line-out from the Galaxy Nexus, either using an adapter or a docking station? I'm not looking for a solution like the one offered by the Samsung Galaxy S2's car dock (which streams bluetooth audio from the phone to the dock, then the dock turns the bluetooth streaming to analog audio through a 3.5mm port) but rather something like an adapter for the MHL port or from the docking station.

Appreciate all the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vespoid:
The obvious solution (at least to me) is to plug into the headphone jack. You could also use either the media dock or MHL adapter in conjunction with an HDMI-to-analog adapter such as the one linked below:

http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-RCA-comp...OQPU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1321905031&sr=8-2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OJ in Compton:
He's asking for a line out solution because it will bypass the internal headphone amp that is utilized when the 3.5mm port is used. If you're plugging the phone into speakers or a sound system that way you'll get much better sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardabey:
If the mhl -> HDMI cable adapter carries both audio and video, you could use an hdmi breakout adapter to split the digital audio. It depends on the HDMI output capabilities of the phone and the acceptability of digital audio for your needs.

Edit: would no doubt be a cumbersome solution. It all comes down to your usage scenario for the output.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ali87:
Thank you vespoid, ardabey.

What OJ in Compton said, I'm looking to bypass the internal headphone amp, not sure if there are any details on the car dock or desk dock, I hope 3rd party manufacturers come up with something, any solutions are welcome.

Ali
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sama:
Never thought about this, but a contactless dock with HDMI out directly to the AMP = audio bliss. Thanks to the forum for letting me see the obvious :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] detonation:
Bumping this thread...has anyone successfully done this? I want line out audio for my car's 3.5mm AUX input - had it with my ipod and it sounded much better than through the headphone jack, as well the convenience of not having to maintain two volumes.

Hoping the official car dock that uses the 3 pin connector and has a 3.5 out would do this, but I'm worried it will just use BT to transmit the audio to the dock like I read the Nexus One dock did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
I wish too that the NG had line level out.

I think it's a limitation of the hardware. I think Apple is the online one that really uses line level out via it's dock connector.

I hope someday Google will use some sort of line level out on their reference hardware or built support directly into a newer OS.

I remember my old Dell DJ had line level out. Soooooo much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lithoss:
There is nothing wrong with the 3.5mm output sound quality wise.

Trying to drive headphone-like impedance (lower) with a line out isn't the best idea, but driving higher impedance inputs like your car deck isn't that bad as long as you let the amps do the "work" of boosting the volume and not your phone. While not optimal, the decrease in sound quality shouldn't be very noticeable.

The main advantage of the digital audio though USB (what apple does) IMO is that it eliminates the need to have both the USB plugged in to charge and the 3.5 mm cord for audio. It also allows song data to be shared and device control from the speaker/head unit. Good setups will recognize most android devices as mass USB storage and provide the same functionality, but I'm not sure how the MTS on the GN will affect this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tmoney2007:
I would wait and see how the audio quality is from the dock. Even if it is bluetooth, the audio quality may not be that bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THE_KINGDOM:
The problem is, that if the head unit supports MTP then yes it can read the device like mass-storage, thats fine, but it doesn't allow you to stream media from radio apps, youtube and turn-by-turn directions from gps, this is what we are looking for...

technically it's not sending analog audio output through the USB, its just reading the stored media on the phone.

I have read that samsung phones are able to accomplish sending analog audio through the USB while charging, with the correct resistance values (adapter) or possibly with software pointing the audio in that direction (for example code build into the framework/API)

this is one major thing that Android lacks over iPhone, this problem should be addressed ASAP. I'm hoping CM9 might be able to find a solution for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lithoss:
I agree, i hope they fix this soon toi. It would make the development of accessories much easier for all android phones. Seems like a no brainer but I guess Google has other priorities...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danimar1:
Just starred this, if the hardware is able to do that I find it completely stupid that they do not allow it.

Smartphones audio amps are not exactly famous for being top-quality so having this possibility would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotShorty:
Thanks. The lack of this feature is ridiculous/mind-boggling/suprising.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
Well, if you were waiting for the card dock to solve your problems... it doesn't. Plugging into the dock's "line out" gets you amp driven sound. I really do not understand why this is such an issue for Android. When I plug somoething into my 3 year old Nokia smartphone a window pops up for me to choose headphones, headset or line out. Why can't ICS offer the option and if in the car dock, default to line out? A USB solution is not going to help if you are using the car dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flacoff:
Yes, most def. I want to use several USB dacs on hand. Off for some op amp rollin'.

Edit: The pogo pin dock has a 3.5mm analog/digital output, FYI
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Genomachino:
Oops
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ali87:
Which if I understand correctly uses Bluetooth to transmit compressed audio from the phone to the dock, then delivers it through the 3.5mm jack. Why not just have a digital signal go through the USB port!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
actually the pogo pin transfers the digitial audio and the dock decodes it into analog to the 3.5mm output
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broomfundel:

Im using Tablet Talk application to link them via bluetooth to SMS from the tablet.

I have used the Adhoc Wifi Access point from the SGSII to browse on the tablet using my phones 3G.

Found out Crazy Snowboard will let me play on the tablet and use the phone as a controller.

What I really want is any direct Android to Android goodness.

Does anyone know a way to . .

Connect one to Wifi then extend the internet connection to the other using bluetooth to act as a kind of wifi extender?

etc..

Set system to rw then delete

Delete camera sound ogg.

First copy and save to it to sd first incase you want it back cause delete is permanent.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
Good method but I think it is better that in case you change your mind later.. just rename the sound file.

That and the camcorder sound can be renamed to so no one knows when ur playing spy while recording that girl you like LOL..
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
it's possible to go into the framework (i believe) and just change the value of shutter sound from a 0 to a 1. reboot the phone and you will have the option in the camera menu to turn the shutter sound off and on. much better way. you will have to remember to set it back to 0 though before trying to take any update from motorola.

No root required to shut off sound. Google Enforced stream silencer.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
+1 its in the build prop. Make the change and reboot. When in camera go to settings and you'll have an option to turn it off
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
I agree, instead of having to do the method described above just apply the Google Enhanced stream silencer apk and be done with it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
i used to use that but i like having the option. my kid likes the shutter sound when i take a picture of him. when he's sleeping i turn the shutter sound off so he doesn't wake up.

i was also having reboot problems with my first photon and if i had that enforcer program the start up "noise" wouldn't happen so i would know if my phone was starting to freak out.

Today i flashed with succes my first android rom Hyperdroid GBX v12, Gingerbread 2.3.3:D

But i missing sense in this rom so i wish an other rom with sense. I started to partitining my sd card but i get scared and flashed the same rom again.:o

2. if not is it possible to undo the partitining of th sd card:confused:

I'm so glad that i am windows free
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] luba6ky:
I didn't' get it! What scares you? You should partition your sd if its needed. Some ROMs, especially Sense, required SD Partition. If you skip this part the rom wouldnt boot. And the instalation is from SD!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
First of all, don't be scared flashing a ROM. One of the only ways to brick a HD2 is by flashing the wrong radio.

Partitioning the SD card? Just use minitool partition manager or easeus partition manager (both work fine) and then create your Ext3 partition there. Just make sure you have the files on your SD card backed up to your PC as when you're partitioning, it'll need to format the card.

EDIT: to answer your questions...

1) it's only possible to have one android rom installed at one particular time.

2) it is possible to wipe the partition on your sd card to make it full capacity again. Search for 'Panasonic SD Formatter' and that works just fine. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arjanbannie:
both of you thanks a lot for the quick reaction.

What scares me is that when i put a new rom at my sd card and flash it, is that enough or do i have to delete the old first???

And second, does it mather what kind of rom i flash there are to much to choose i think. i have a european model so i shouldnt choose the tmous models are all other roms save to flash?

What the heck i did it!!!!

No thinking just doing!!!!

but now its hanging on the start up

so back to the first flash who worked is there anyone who knows what i am doing wrong????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
You should have enough space to have more than one rom on your SD card. Why it's looping on boot is because you have the wrong clockwork partition. In each rom it should be outlined as to what size you need the partition, then just reflash the right size clockwork from magldr/cLK.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arjanbannie:
do i need the panasonic sd formatter before doing this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Nope you don't need to do anything to the SD card partition. It's the internal memory you're partitioning to make room for your ROM. Can't remember exactly but you can just edit one of the files that you've got in your clockwork folder to change the partition size or just go to the clockwork thread and download the partition size clockwork you need. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
