One warning about the Mega ADK... 2.3.4+ is necessary, but is not itself necessarily sufficient. Just ask anyone with a crippled, bootloader-permalocked Motorola phone like the Photon. Motorola managed to ruin it not only as a viable Android phone, but ruined its afterlife as a repurposed Android host controller for things like robotics and home automation, too. When Moto built the kernel, they compiled out everything ADK needs.

The big advantage of ioio: it works on any Android phone that has USB debugging & ADB enabled.

The one advantage of ADK: You can use peripherals based upon it without having to give them nearly-complete potential control over your phone. Think about this for a moment... would you *ever* trust something like a no-name usb gamepad from China with ADB access to your rooted phone? Most would be fine (there are lots of good, honest developers in China), but due to the Law of Very Large Numbers, some would be almost *guaranteed* to have malicious payloads (possibly injected into legit hardware before YOU bought it). That's why Google decided to limit ADK to newer phones only -- to enable it as a standard for future, mass-produced and untrusted devices.

That said, if you're interfacing something like a robot with software you wrote, and commercial sales to others are a non-issue, IOIO is more convenient and less work to use. I would, however, recommend buying one from a 100% legit source (like Sparkfun) personally blessed by Ytai (its creator), and *not* an unauthorized IOIO clone. AFAIK, no clones actually exist, but it's probably just a matter of time until they do. He's worked hard, he's an XDA member, and your purchase will help fund his next hardware purchase (or buy him a well-earned beer or two).

Not to mention... if a clone were *massively* cheaper, you should probably wonder why... and whether part of it is a secret subsidy from someone paying the seller to get their payload into your phone. Do you *really* want to risk being the "product" instead of the "customer"?

I have a question. The ioio was said to be out put only device. I want/need to have the ioio use switches or buttons or read data that will make something happen in the app. Can the ioio do this or do I need the adk for this?
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Not that this suggestion will appeal to everybody (or anybody),

you might want to just use a microcontroller with USB support and make it an HID.

For simple things, how about this: http://pjrc.com/store/teensy.html

The advantage of making a USB HID is that it can be tested and used

on Android, Mac, *nix, Windows.
[Hardware Hacking General] joeavery2:
I've wanted to do that for a long time, I don't know where to start. I am on Ubuntu, and run windows 7 in a VM. I have a few HID type devices I wanted to make my self but I've never found info on how to go about making one.

The Teensy is a great product, I have a 2.0 and 3.0. I'm not sure if this would work for me on my current project but I do have a list of projects that It would. I would love any info on how to Make an HID device out of something like the Teeny.
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Here's a little USB HID project that I made: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33717491&postcount=12

There is a lot of detail stuff to getting a USB HID device correct.

The good thing is that a lot of it can be boiler plate.

Initialization of the USB interface

Handling of USB requests (you could use a table)

Handling of USB descriptor requests (you could use a table)

Actual USB application data transfer

The Teensy 2 uses an ATMega32u4 which has separate program and data memory.

To save data memory (and having the startup code copy from flash to ram),

you can do various things to keep static data in progmem.

In *nix you can use "size" (I have my own Win32 utility) to keep an eye on the data segment.
[Hardware Hacking General] joeavery2:
Oh that is cool. Well my reason is in the mail. I've got a ton of dev kits, Arduino, Teensy, ADK and an ioio on the way. As well as Microchip dev kits and a AVR programmer. I've done stuff with them but always run out of time. Some projects I had would use a HID, like a alternative keyboard or my own mouse design, but I had not thought of making a volume control that way. That pretty much tells me I can make my current project this way. Thank you! :D :good:

Arduino ADK compatibility.

Due to the less compatible of the arduino ADK and Android.

If we made a device with arduino ADK using the Android as display, what are the specifications to buy the correct Android tablet? the minimum requirements to work?

Thank you!
[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
2.3.x or higher... its safest if you go with Android4.0 because some manufacturers didn't implement the proper kernel changes required.
[Hardware Hacking General] Bruno Yuzo:
Here are my tests:

Processing + Eclipse + Android + Arduino Due (USB and adk.h)

(<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.accessory"/>)

The video example working: goo.gl/FGmYLe

based on example: android-er blogspot

Tablet Nexus 7 - Android 4.4.2 (Compatible)

Cell GT-S6812B - Andoird 4.1.2 - TFT 3.5'' 320 x 480 (HVGA) (Compatible)

Cell Sony C1604 - Android 4.1.1 (incompatible, I don't know why?!)

Tablet GT-P1000L - Android 2.3.6 (incompatible)

Cell GT-I5500 - Android 2.2 (incompatible)

I need to know why Android 4.1.1 didn't work.

And how to start the Android cell with the application, without the cell function. To make a finalized product.

[Verizon Droid Charge] ForeverSupra:
Alright guys, there is still a plan code for unlimited hotspot for our 4G phones that WILL also change your plan to unlimited data. Keep in mind some reps will NOT know this and some might have to search up the feature code. BARE WITH THEM AND DONT BE **** HEADS BECAUSE THEY WILL LOG THE ACCOUNT WITH NOTES AND YOU WILL BE OUT OF LUCK. If the rep tells you they cant do anything or cant find anything simply be polite, hang up then call back.

After you find someone who has added this plan then go to your my Verizon and remove the unlimited hotspot feature. You will be left behind with unlimited data for $30.

This is all based on the rep you speak too, it works for some and it doesnt work for others. Just be patient.

Just did this i am going to hold out and keep it for a month and see who gets busted. If people do get busted i will just keep it with my discount it is costing 24 dollars if you go over 1.001 gig it basically pays for it self on the 30 dollar double your gig plan. Hurry up i am sure that loophole will come to an end shortly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Just did this too but I had to call back cause the first girl didn't know anything really lol my "my Verizon" widget says i have unlimited lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] Terrigno:
Yeah but if you add the Unlimited 4G hotspot plan on, doesnt that already replace your current data plan with that unlimited 4G hotspot plan? And therefore, you will already have unlimited data?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
hmmm.. wondering if this will work for those of us that pay just $20/month for 300MB....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Terrigno:
Just did this and it worked. Great tip.

Everyone should jump on this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Took a little for the app to update but it worked still says unlimited and the hotspot is indeed off. Wow lol good ****
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joelpatrick:
Thanks so much! I have to have hotspot and don't want to worry about being throttled. I was paying $50 for the 6gb with hotspot. Called in and asked for the "4g hotspot" plan like the post said. I also saw it under features on account management but it didn't actually say "unlimited". The rep didn't seem to know about it. Once he found it he said it was a November promotion but since it was only December 2nd he'd see if he could get it done for me. Sure enough. Came back and said he got it approved. Now have unlimited data on phone and hotspot for 1 cent less a month. Thanks! I guess I could always remove the hotspot and retain the data plan but I'm fine for now. Interestingly enough. My old data with hotspot was all within the data section. Now I just see unlimited data for $30 in the data section. Then the 4G hotspot feature is found in the "features" section. So I don't see the problem in dropping the hotspot plan and keeping the unlimited data whenever I want. They aren't tied together like my old data plan was.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robcomet1:
YAYS!

I did this yesterday. Took three tries until I got a rep that would help me do it. Here's hoping it lasts/doesn't cause problems! I wouldn't think it would but you never know with these carriers. They are evil! :D

[Verizon Droid Charge] mortgage_man:
Thanks OP for linking back to the instructions. Thanks to others for guidance also. I just called and it worked no problem on first call. I joined Verizon exactly 1 month ago so no chance of grandfathering for me.

My exact steps(about a 5-10 minute process):

1- *611

2- option 4

3- spoke "add a feature"

4- enter password

5- spoke to an outgoing customer service lady

6- told her, exact words: "I want add the unlimited 4G hotspot feature to my plan"

7- 1 min later it was done. She told me I would now have unlimited data vs. the 4 gigs I had.

8- hung up, refreshed "My Verizon Data" widget and it was unlimited!! :)

9- logged into My Verizon, change features under plan, removed 4g hotspot($30.00 add-on)

10- unlimited data for $29.99 remains on my plan

11- SUCCESS!!! :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] nmeofdst8:
5 tries...success. Watchout cause they accidentally put "global 4G data 50mb" for 30.00 per month...had to call to get removed but only took a second. Let's hope they don't go back and change it
[Verizon Droid Charge] nic411:
This just worked for me on the second try with my wife's phone. Not only did it work, but she didn't even put the hotspot on the phone, just made it unlimited data :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] healthteacher:
It works!!!

Just upgraded 2 phones on our family plan. Actually went right to unlimited data, without the hotspot thing, from our existing 4 GB double data plan. Took several tries, but once you hit the right rep. they do it in like 2 minutes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nic411:
Nevermind the last part of my last part. The 4g hotspot wasn't showing up on the my Verizon app, but when I logged into the site it was there so I have to take it off. Also when I did this I found out that apparently I'm over paying on my family plan shared minutes by $20
[Verizon Droid Charge] ForeverSupra:
Glad it worked guys!
[Verizon Droid Charge] justin251:
As soon as my charge is fixed I'm doing this. yusssssss
[Verizon Droid Charge] myredfast:
Worked for me this morning on my first call, however he did put me on hold for 10 minutes. I did not have to cancel the hotspot online because it automatically cancelled my previous data pack and says "unlimited data / email access". Widget does indicate unlimited! Does anybody else know if I leave it like that will it charge me twice for data? I tried to find my regular 2gb data pack but it wasn't there anymore. And when I went to "change features" it said the my data pack ( that I just added) was not available anymore and if I deleted or changed it I would not get it back..... interesting!! Thanks ForeverSupra I'm Stoked!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joelpatrick:
Why not try it now? You don't have to have a working phone for them to change your plan.
[Verizon Droid Charge] justin251:
My droid x is still on my plan because the charge couldn't activate due to no MEID.

I'm trying to fix it incase dude on ebay stiffs me. Otherwise phone works perfect.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Terrigno:
And we definitely don't like being stiffed! Lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] wampuscat:
This isn't just for 4g phones? Ill have to try it on my charge and my girls fascinate
[Verizon Droid Charge] justin251:
Worked like a charm!
[Verizon Droid Charge] wampuscat:
Worked 1st try on charge line. Gotta get my girl a 4g phone so I can get it on her line too. This is awsome sauce
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joelpatrick:
Oh. Yeah it is. I thought his phone was currently on his plan and was just trying to get it repaired or something.
[Verizon Droid Charge] justin251:
Just swap the charge to her line for a day.

Im sending my charge back but the unlimited data transfered to my DROID x. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] wampuscat:
Didn't think of that. And u think it'll stay unlimited when i swap back? Sounds too easy but I'm doin it

Edit...nevermind I finished reading ur post lol. Stayed with the Droid x so I'm golden
[Verizon Droid Charge] justin251:
Yeah dude worked like a charm.

I activated my DROIDX myself on the Verizon website. I didn't call them back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
The new my Verizon shows the unlimited data for sure and that "my plan isn't available anymore" lol so cool. I just can't see where to remove the hotspot cause its still working and I don't want to be stuck with it. Somebody decribe it to me? Or is it the hotspot and unlimited data for 30?

I just did this just this morning. First rep I spoke with was very polite and said she'd be glad to add that feature. Took less than 3 minutes. Logged in to My Verizon on my phone 30 seconds after hanging up and there is the UNLIMITED

She did mention that she's had numerous people doing this LOL
[Verizon Droid Charge] hvc1911:

That's why you'd still have it. That was ths originally intended deal

As of today, I still have unlimited for the $29.99 monthly. I set up another phone for my wife around Christmas and it's still going strong on the unlimited plan too.

EDIT: I prob average 4-6 gbs per month and my wife around 2-4 so it's not like we are heavy users at this point. Prior to my conversion to unlimited, i was on the plan for 4 gb at the 2gb price special they had.

'Course Wi-Fi tether drops connection every few minutes, and USB tether drains battery faster than USB charges, so it hasn't worked out like I had hoped.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cryptrix:
Giggity

Which app are you using for tethering? I used an older version of Tether which used to give me occasional drops. I believe Wifi Tether 3.0 pre12 is by far the most stable, while still giving you max throughput for 3g and 4g, I've personally used it for hours without a single drop. If you aren't using that particular version I suggest you give it a try: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre12.apk&can=2&q

[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
I've tried almost all of them. No luck unfortunately. One thing that really irritates me is how USB 3 ports are supposed to output more mA than USB 2 (around 800 mA I think), but my motherboard (gigabyte) still only puts out 300-400 mA when I connect my phone or HP Touchpad to it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
it likely only does that for USB 3 devices, and when you connect a "legacy" device to it, it will default to whatever spec it will go back to the max for that type.
