Looks cool, although after some searching I could only find bluetooth v1.1, and the MicroSD card reader that I found doesn't support HC, so the most I could expand my memory by is 2gb and that doesn't really seem worth it. Do you have any sources for chips? I would be interested in trying. I've been looking for a reason to get the soldering iron out again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaricchavez:
The UART modules are only an idea, the main problem with going that direction instead of USB host is the drivers the modules would need(They all usually come with generic ones, but they would need to be customized for Android). I have very limited code/coding knowledge so I would need alot of help or soeone to do that part completely. I was going to pm Hashcode for help if I decided to try out the UART modules. Also, i'm unsure if more than one module can be used at the same time.

Like I just posted in the thread i'm still waiting on some stuff to arrive to actually get started on the USB host attempt. I have the wires soldered to the USB/Charge port pins, but since I don't have the microsd adapter or any more spare cords to rip apart I can't go further. I ordered about 10 different mini microsd adapters to take apart and see which works out the best.

Other people have USB host working, so shouldn't be difficult. I've just never used USB host before so i'm not real sure of what to expect.

The only downside is that there needs to be a switch of some sort somewhere to disable USB host so that adb/storage will work. I'm trying to think of something a little more elegant that having a huge hole in the case with a switch protruding out of the side. I'm going to go searching for some solutions and a super small switch.

All the UART GPS modules I found when searching "uart gps module" on Google are mostly from India and are between $30-50ish, the receivers look to be about the size of a quarter.

I decided to look on Sparkfun and adafruit and i'm glad I did, it looks like they both have some modules, but I haven't looked around and dug through them yet.

*http://www.sparkfun.com/categories/4

*http://www.adafruit.com/category/35_58

All the optimism aside i'm not all too sure that we could get the GPS UART module to work. From what I see (First picture: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1471813) the UART output that Hashcode put into use only has two GNDs a TX and RX. The modules that I found all look like they need 8 connections. Adafruit has a nice pic of the connections labeled here: http://www.adafruit.com/products/746

If you're talking about microsd UART modules, as mentioned in the thread I created, someone made the point that it wouldn't make much sense because speeds would be way too low.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tipzilla:
I think GPS would be a cool addition. But at this point, can we use the OTG cable with a bluetooth dongle? If that is the case then I could use a bluetooth to GPS app and use the GPS chip on my phone instead of wiring a GPS mod and having to worry about the drivers being programmed into the code. That was the problem with the Viewsonic G-Tablet that i had, you had to have a special kernel in order to use the GPS mod.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaricchavez:
Yeah, getting GPS to work would take alot of work. When I tried it with some USB host bluetooth modules for Hashcode's kernel I couldn't get it to work, but that was a few builds ago, I haven't retried since he added them into the kernel. If when I retry it still doesn't work i'm going to recheck my cables to make sure they stayed on. I had to break/grind down the metal frame to get them to fit, so it was a tight squeeze.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaricchavez:
I hate to double post, but I found the perfect solution for the switch. A reed switch or two plus a small magnet will work wonders :D

http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8642

Edit: Here are the switches that I am buying, they're the cheapest spdt reed switches I could find: http://www.newark.com/hamlin/mdrr-dt-15-20-f/switch-reed-spdt-co-1-5a-175vdc/dp/24C6463

This will allow USB host to be activated constantly and then deactivated easily with a neodymium magnet to use adb, USB storage and whatnot.

I'm pleased that I found such an elegant solution, no need to mess up the housing to put in a switch :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powerpoint45:
Wow. This si pretty cool... GPS already works without a new chip though lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
How's that? There's neither Bluetooth nor a GPS module on our 1st gen KFs... Maybe we could get some if hash could work out the issues that prevent us from having BT support via OTG...

Or -maybe- you mean WiFi location (which is a dif. thing altogether)?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SierraStroker:
For people who typically have a cell phone in their pocket at all times, you can use the "TetherGPS" app which shares GPS info over wifi.

I would love to see BT working over OTG personally though...

When I initially got and registered my Prime, I was referred to a web page where I could remotely manage and track my tablet. I tried it and really liked the options.

But whatever I do today, I cannot recall where this page is. Probably some dead Asus servers (most of the pages return HTTP error 500 today) help to that as well.

Do anyone has a record about this web page?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcustodio:
Hi

I'm a newbie with Android and I did a couple of things to my Asus Transformer that leaved me in a strange situation and I hope someone here can give me some "light".

Ok, first I did this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1515470 to root the tablet. I thought it was a good thing...

Then, used Rom Manager Premium to install Clockwormod but here is what I think can be wrong. In Rom Manager I have the indication of Clockworkmod version 5.8.2.1 but when I reboot in CWM mode I get 5.5.0.4

The problem is that if I do reboot the tablet always go to ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4

If I want to reboot and go to Android to use the tablet, I need to use the Power + Volume- combination. Then I get 2 options: Wipe Data or Android. Choose Android and everything seems ok and I can use my Transformer normally.

Now I just flash the Revolver Rom hopping that this could fix my reboot problem, but it didn't :(

Is there a way to update the Clockworkmod or remove and go to stock rom again?

I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks

I tried searching this in a number of places. I couldn't find what I was looking for, although it didn't help I had trouble using the right words to search for it with, but here goes.

I'm running CleanROM Reborn 1.1, I love it! Other info is also in my signature. Once I turned on the percentage number for my battery level, I really started to notice this.

The number will stay at a number for awhile sometimes, even when I use it, then other times it will jump several points within a minute. It doesn't drain consistently. Anyone have any insight or suggestions? It's more annoying than anything else. My battery life is alright.

I would've tried wiping battery stats, but I hear that doesn't really do anything.

Thanks.

download Battery Calibration from the Google Play Store, then charge your phone to %100. open the Battery Calibration app and calibrate it. There is also instructions inside the App if my instructions are unclear
[HTC EVO 3D] .Bambino:
Im going to try this but for some reason mine only go to about 96%. Never 100% lately so I am not sure if I should do it then or just leave it charged until it is 100% and hope it gets there.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Not to hijack the thread, but the phone is designed to fully charge and then discharge to 95% and then charge to 100% again, rinse, and repeat. This is to keep the battery from becoming destroyed by overcharging. Maybe that's what you are seeing, Bambino.

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I've noticed this too on Ics leak roms. It sips power with screen off, then drains quickly when on sometimes and hardly at all other times. Mine just sat at 82% for the past 20 minutes, then dropped to 76% over the past five. I've heard battery calibration is bunk, but I'll try the previously mentioned app and see.

Some roms do not use a percentage because they are so inaccurate and cause the user to obsess :D

A little info on batteries

The important thing to remember about Lithium Ion batteries is that when you do charge them, bring them up to full charge before taking them off the charger.

They all have a circuit board in them that remembers a full charge. (If you've every taken one apart you'd see this) When you charge them this chip will restore the amount of power that has drained.

Partially charging them will screw up this function. And screw up the battery.

Deep Cycling is good for them but not all the time. Once a month is good for them.

A good rule of thumb, but not absolutely necessary is to discharge them 50% and then bring them up to a full charge. Obviously this is not always possible when playing video games or watching movies. I always try to leave it on the charger when watching movies in the cradle.

There is an app on the Market called Battery Repair. It makes an attempt to reset this chip on the battery by meticulous monitoring the charge and capacity left in the battery. Running diagnostics and setting the battery to its best state. Its the only one out there that does this.

Battery Calibration app is good if you change roms or batteries alot.

Here is what it does:

Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed.

It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break.

The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.

The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around 4200mV.

Well it is hardly stable, had many bugs.

I am using Revolution ICS by Mike1986, it has sense 3.6, I think you should try it until Mike1986 releases a stable sense 4 version, because when Mike1986 says the rom is stable, IT REALLY IS.

If your aim is stability then avoid Sense 4. The most stable roms are going to be the ones based on the 3.6 ICS update made for our phones. I'm not saying Sense 4 roms aren't stable, but a rom like ARHD ICS is certainly more so.

If you need the Bluetooth Hands Free option on your phone then you will not want Sense 4. Unfortunately that is one option that all the Devs have yet to fix.

I'd agree with this. I'm running CoinDroid and I like it, but I have frequent lockups. This seems to be related to wifi (with wifi off it runs all day, but if wifi is on and I move between access points I end up doing a battery pull or use adb to reboot). Bluetooth, FM radio, and internet pass-through don't fully work. If you don't rely on those capabilities it's "stable", but otherwise stick with 3.6.
