Hello everyone.

I am currently modding Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for car instalation and everything seems to be great except I have problems with two things:

1) As the tab will be also my main music player I would need an USB host from time to time (check: http://www.expansys.si/samsung-usb-adapter-for-galaxy-tab-series-no-30-pin-to-sd-slot-229630/ ). It would be hard to switch that adapter with power supply just for the time I need to stick USB in it so I am asking if anyone knows if it is possible to have both active at the same time: power supply and USB host? Or if anyone has some other interesting idea how to transfer data to tablet asap from time to time? Please note that it will be really hard to reach it when installed.

2) Since the tab has back camera (which is useless to me in cars interior) i was thinking if there is any possible way to get that camera out of the tab with some extender or something? I've been looking at the interior of a tablet and the camera doesnt look to be attach in any other way than just a flat cable. Any ideas?

Thank you guys for your help in advance!

Make love, not war <3

It sound like this will be a permanent installation.

Instead of €22 for an adapter, I'd rather use a breakout and hardwire:

http://www.kineteka.com/galaxy-tab-connector.aspx

This will also allow you to wire the earphone output also.

Yes, with many devices you can charge and do host mode at the same time.

It's mostly a question of convincing your device to play nicely with a non-standard operation.

You can just bring out the USB leads or hardwire in a hub for more options, like a keyboard.

I'd use a DC converter circuit board hardwired instead of a cigarette lighter adaptor.

Something like this, maybe: http://www.lightobject.com/LM2576-High-Input-7V40V-Switching-5V-Power-Module-Regulator-P549.aspx
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
I think somewhere in the Tab 10.1 forums, someone figured out the proper wiring for a powered USB host adapter. 90% certain that would also work on Tab 2 7.0

I didn't get what will help me.

Whenever ill try to factory reset muly phone from bootloader menu its will come again to same menu within second, I tried so many times to format it from all ways I can't pls help me its very urgent
[HTC Sensation XL] rlamba:
I did the following steps to install recovery. Feel free to do this at your own risk.

1) Unlock Bootloader (if it locked goto htcdev.com site and follow all steps)

2) Download .zip file and Extract recovery_for_1.28.img from the .zip

3) Copy recovery_for_1.28.img to the same folder as fastboot.exe

4) Select usb debugging (settings>develope option)

5) Connect phone with usb cable to pc and select charge only

6) Goto android-sdk folder and then into platform-tools

7) Shift & Right Click and select open command window here

8) type 'adb reboot bootloader' <enter> (without quotes)

9) In the command window type fastboot flash recovery recovery_for_1.28.img

10) type Exit and disconnect phone

11) reboot the phone.

This recovery is touch recovery and seems to be in its crude form but functional.

If you want to root your phone then do the following,

search for this file CWM-SuperSU-v0.88 and copy to the root directory of your phone and flash using zip from sd card option. You will find this file on the last line.

Goto android-sdk folder and then into platform-tools

Shift & Right Click and select open command window here

type adb reboot-bootloader <enter>

type adb reboot-bootloader

Select option to fix the permissions

mount sdcard

select install from sdcard

select zip file

scroll till you find the above file and select it. (It will be on the last line)

It will start the rooting process.

Reboot the phone

and grant permission for superuser.

This worked for me. I would appreciate if someone could retest it.

My thanks to anyone whose material I have used.

It seems like I posted this in the wrong forum earlier - wasn't asking for an answer to a particular question but just wanted a discussion in general. Mods, you can delete the other thread in the Q&A forum. Anyway...

I know this is being discussed in the Development forum, but I can't post anything there because I'm a new member. Anyway, just wanted to get some discussion going regarding MMS capabilities when hooked up to T-Mobile's Wi-Fi Calling feature. It seems like many of the people in the development forums are under the impression that the phone switches to cellular data to send/receive MMS messages, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case. I use Wi-Fi calling at my house where there is absolutely zero cellular reception and I can definitely send MMS messages as long as I'm on Wi-Fi. I'm not a technical expert by any means so I have no idea how exactly it works but it shows the "G" icon when I send an MMS (which I believe stands for GPRS) and MMS messages can be sent and received.

Just wondering what other people's experiences were regarding this.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
When it shows the G, it switches to mobile data to send the text.
[HTC Sensation] nubletdeluxe:
That's the thing, I get absolutely ZERO reception (neither GPRS nor EDGE nor 3G/4G) and I can definitely send and receive MMS messages as long as I have Wi-Fi calling enabled. The same sort of thing happens with the T-Mobile My Account app. It won't work over Wi-Fi, but if you actually have the Wi-Fi calling app enabled and connected, My Account works. Check it out.
[Android Head-Units] nubz69:
For those of you who don't know about these new head units. It is the first headunit that is running an Android based operating system that is compatible with MirrorLink.

I can't post a link but if you google "mobile electronics magizine xav-601bt" you can find a lot of info on it.

I am curious what people are going to do with these once it is rooted, just think of the possibilities!

What are the chances we can get MirrorLink to work on all android based devices? So far it looks to only be planned for new phones but I am sure that we could change that.
[Android Head-Units] nubz69:
Nobody else thinks this is amazing? You now can install an android based computer/audio/video in your car that you can mirror your phone's interface on!! Literally your car can now do everything your phone does, something people have wanted to do years.
[Android Head-Units] MOJoWales:
I'm doing some research on the XAV-601BT right now. Saw you posted some info on another car audio site and I would like to know what you think of the unit. Such as: what apps would currently integrate an xperia pro freshly updated to android 4.** and are there any known issues with particular devices or configurations? Any mod sites messing around with getting rid of the bugs yet, safety nannies or performance wise? I can't find much besides chatter yet.

You mentioned that you had access to a unit and if it is installed could you give some details of what it is pushing and how it is performing?

Thanks allot. I am holding out for another unit that has been delayed again but this might make me pull the trigger. And yes, the prospect of running all my phone apps via my head unit makes me happy, let alone being able to root and customize.

MOJoWales
[Android Head-Units] Xof_:
I think you don't have the right phone for it.. only Nokia and the new Samsung Galaxy S3 support Mirror Link.

I've read somewhere that Mirror Link is hardware based, but maybe it's the same technology as MHL.
[Android Head-Units] MOJoWales:
Thanks for the reply. I read that the 2012 Xperias would be MirrorLink capable too. I came across conflicting information on it being implementable for smartphones that had output capabilities of uUSB and HDMI like my Xperia pro. If a phone can support RealVNP I think it should work but I'm just learning about this technology. I've got some research to do on this before I pull the trigger because I want/need qwerty with my hand size and I don't see anything similar to the pro in the pipeline that would come factory capable with MirrorLink.

Anybody know for sure what it would take to run MirrorLink on a phone like the 2011 Xperia pro?
[Android Head-Units] nubz69:
He is right about the S3 and nokia phones being the first supported. Windows phones and other phones are expected in the future but there is little information available. I originally heard that mirrorlink was a hardware solution but now I believe it is software. There is a good chance that it could be ported but it is going to be hard to tell until the S3 launches and some people on here start playing with it. I also hope they make an area for the XAV-601BT and XAV-701HD on this site so people can start focusing on rooting the unit as it is Android bassed.

I have used the unit and even without the mirrorlink it is an amazing unit. It literally does everything I could want in a double din head unit.
[Android Head-Units] brianhunt75:
I currently have the xav-601bt i picked up from my audio shop yesterday. I also have a htc sense and the unit will only display unsuported device. Speaking with the sony west coast rep today, I was informed that there will be rollouts for the mirror link. It seems that it will be an app you can download from the play store.

The rollouts are expected to be every 60 days, but as for what phones are capable of running the mirror link protocol remains a mystery.

I offered my phone to be tested for there software but he will have to check with his higher ups about that. I am hoping that it will soon be available for download and one of the developers that crack it to work with other phones, like the netflix and hulu apps.

I am still waiting on information from the east coast rep on this as well. If I get anymore information I'll be sure to post it here.
[Android Head-Units] Xof_:
Could you post some experiences with this unit? Do you think it's fast enough? How about the touchscreen; how well does it react to your finger and what about the sun.

There is a russian video on youtube giving a demo of this device.. not much to understand (at least for me) but at least you can see the features a little bit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGMxaMnfTFo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB9V641jTZQ

As you can see in the video, it's not as smooth as I hoped for.. sometimes you have to touch something two or three times before it works.
[Android Head-Units] tvrvic:
I have this unit as well and have had it since late May. It is actually pretty responsive(for a touchscreen head unit) and boots up fast. I am coming from a x930BT which was horrible in both of these areas. The having to press more than once is more related to how accurate you need to be to hit what the unit considers the button. It is small area that accepts the input for that button, hopefully they address this in a FW update.

As for the Sun question - pretty bad, but my car has a bad location for the radio that doesn't help the problem any. The sun beats directly on the screen and it is completely washed out.
[Android Head-Units] Xof_:
Thanks tvrvic for the reply :)

Hmm the sun problem is not a good thing, a lot of units have problems with that and I hoped that a big company as Sony wouldn't have this problem.
[Android Head-Units] walkeryan:
I've had this unit for a few days so far and love it. I'm order the steering wheel control adapter today. It has a matte finish on the screen and that helps the glare, I can see the screen just fine.

Hi Guys just asking for a bit of an update - im in the uk so the bigger 701hd isnt out yet, i was looking at the Alpine ICS x-8 which also supports mirror link - there is a demo out on youtube which shows it working with the Galaxy S2! Do you guys think this would work with the S3?
[Android Head-Units] ydoucare:
This head unit does not actually run Android, so there's nothing to root. It uses MirrorLink to mirror your phone's display on the head unit. You'll have to wait a few months for Clarion's double din Android head unit to release to have Android running natively on your head unit. There are some cheap no-name head units out there right now running Android, but they're poor quality and I don't think any of them are even running Gingerbread.
[Android Head-Units] shirazdindar:
thanks for that info.

so the sony won't be hackable. given that, is mirrorlink's app approval mechanism hackable on the android end? does anyone know mirrorlink tech beyond:

[Android Head-Units] reckert:
I just installed this unit in my car - the Open source license page on the unit shows a lot of .apk files and also reference AOSP, and Linux 2.6.x licenses - so it is Linux

The mirror link support looks like it comes from tmlibs.so - which they published on their support site (Trying to find the links - I downloaded what they published for opensource -

the libraries they put on their site were: (Repeating tar.bz2 was their names)

EDIT: the url for the sony site is : http://www.sony.net/Products/Linux/Audio/XAV-701BT.html

GPL_SGX_KM_20111130.tar.bz2.tar.bz2.tar.bz2

alsa-lib.tar.gz

dnsmasq.tar.gz

iproute2.tar.gz

iptables.tar.gz

webkit.tar.gz

kernel.tar.gz

and the most interesting

ML_Necessitas_Build.tar.bz2.tar.bz2.tar.bz2

TmLibs.tar.bz2.tar.bz2.tar.bz2

The TmLibs looks like it has a mirrorlink server and client embeded, using the QT libraries in the ML_Necessitas, and there is an ortpLib directory in there as well.

thanks for the link! i looked for Drive Link at both Google Play and Samsung Apps to no avail. if anyone sees the app, plz post link here.

on another note, the Sony page links to the first firmware update for the XAV601BT. It seems that the only change is support for the S3. I know a Sony rep hinted at a mid-august firmware update on a Sony forum several weeks ago. I wonder if this is that firmware update, or if we can expect another with other improvements. i'm sure hoping so as the interface as it is now is pretty quirky.

Perhaps now we have a firmware file someone will be able to dissect it and see what makes it tick. I've tried to extract the .bin but failed at the first hurdle :(

I updated with the file listed above to firmware version HR04_xav_1.12.001 and now my source selector doesn't work. It also adds the telenav application but so far no luck getting it to work with my Galaxy S3 or Telenav so basically I'm trying to get my original firmware off of Sony to go back to it.

I did a reset to the system and my source selector worked again and everything is fine. I dont have an iphone to test the telenav but I really hope they get on the ball and make the Galaxy S3 work with it. I know were waiting on Samsung to release an update. Also I have telenav comes out with a version for android that supports the Mirrorlink so we can use that feature as well. I may contact them today and find out.

[Android Head-Units] Narvon:
Hello all. I'm not a developer, just someone looking for help and found it here. Thanks.

I purchased 2 of these head units for the purpose of using TelNav with iPhones, (one for my girlfriend).

After update, both units needed a reset (not in instructions on website and Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for posting a fix here).

I haven't been able to play with it too much, BUT, I can't seem to use any of the decks options while the TelNav is running, ie. Tuner, iPod, Bluetooth music (haven't made a phone call or received one yet), etc. You can play the iPod through the TelNav app, but all you get is Play/Pause/Skip. You cannot select Playlist, Artist, Album, Genre, etc. You're at the mercy of where it decides to start playing.

Does anyone know if there is a supplemental instructions for the TelNav with this head unit? And has anyone else used an iPhone with this unit and played music along with TelNav?

The Sony website is a bit deceiving with a picture showing the GPS along side your music controls...

Firmware update

The firmware update for the xav-601 remained on the Sony site for only a week. I emailed Sony but got no real explanation. Why would they leave it for a short time period? A bit of a nuisance as you would have to check back regularly. Would it not make sense to leave the latest on site until an update comes along.
[Android Head-Units] lodger:
I wonder myself why there take it down after only a week... i can only think there was problems with the update (i have not had any) or it was a mistake and there want withdraw support for the s3 for now.
[Android Head-Units] Evan702:
Very odd on Sony's part. Maybe they want to add support for more handsets. Still wouldn't make sense as to why they'd take the firmware down though. The whole promise of MirrorLink technology is turning out to be a lot nicer than the reality of it is. By the time this all gets sorted out and underway, Sony's next generation of head units will probably be on sale.The good thing is that despite the absence of Mirror Link support, I still like the XAV-601BT.
