[Sony Tablet S] rm19:
Yeah, I know voltages can have some wiggle room, and I know car equipment is designed to work in a harsh vehicle environment with anywhere from 10v-15v, but I do worry that this tablet could be more sensitive. That said, my new readings leave me more confused and I've tried combinations of taping off pins. I do know that combining 1+3 since they're both 10.5v and then 2 as the ground, and taping off pin 4, makes the tablet think it's connected to the Cradle but still does NOT charge. I'm thinking that pin 4 is what does the charging. Hopefully someone will see this and immediately know what's going on.

AC Adapter plugged into wall, not connected to tablet:

1: +10.5V (reads about 10.84V)

2: Ground

3: 0.00v ??

4: 0.00v ??

AC Adapter plugged into wall, connected to tablet:

1: +10.5V (reads about 10.67V)

2: Ground

3: +10.5V (reads about 10.67V) - with this connected to pin 1, the tablet thinks it's connected to a cradle.

4: +16.2V

I'm close to going to Plan B which is to just buy a Sony XAV-701HD head unit and be done with all this, but just to see if I like the tablet's usability (mostly for music and nav), I am gonna power it up for now with a small inverter that will power the Tablet S and will be connected to a relay controlled by the Audison Bit Ten D signal processor which in turn is powered by the car's ignition. I was hoping to get this powered without an inverter which will save a ton of complexity, space and make it more efficient.

I also installed an app called Tasker that knows when the AC adapter is plugged in and it automatically turnes on, sets the volume to max and never sleeps. Upon exit of this "state", like when you pull the key out, it will stop the music and immediately go to power save.

I will post pics once I have reached 10 posts.
[Sony Tablet S] Redd4:
16.2 volts... looks like it needs that to charge. however I'm no expert. what are the figures written in the charger itself?

you dont need to post images here, you can upload them on tinypic and paste in the "direct url for layouts" here
[Sony Tablet S] Ronbo85:
From which direction closest to the edge the charge connections are would the + vs - be to get the polarity right? I just got one of these and need to jump it with one of my other chargers until I get the correct charger.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
As shown in the photo, the negative (-) terminal is towards the cable and the positive (+) terminal is towards the end of the connector. On the tablet with respect to the screen facing you, the negative (-) terminal is the center left terminal and the positive (+) terminal is the center right terminal.
[Sony Tablet S] Ronbo85:
Thank you, I was also able to find a pic of one plugged in on google.
[Sony Tablet S] sozah:
I have tried to charge and run the tablet off a cheap modified sine wave inverter and had no dramas, however, I think making a charger for the car wouldnt be too much of a hassle. and being a lithium battery, I would assume that it has its own bms (battery management system) so therewould be no need to limit the current, just have a higher voltage than 7.4 ish
[Sony Tablet S] mda185:
Simply connecting a voltage higher than 7.4ish has been tried by one of the earlier posters. Apparently, there is something not understood about the 4 connections on the tablet because a simple DC voltage on + and - terminals did not work. The tablet went into dock mode but did not charge.
[Sony Tablet S] rm19:
Yeah, I tried every combination of those 3 pins and although the tablet thought it was charging, the battery continued to drain. I am seriously considering the new Xperia Tablet for my install just to simplify things.

AC Adapter plugged into wall, connected to tablet:

1: +10.5V

2: Ground

3: +10.5V

4: +16.2V
[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
Yes, its AC Adapter
[Sony Tablet S] tb303lava:
I know its an old thread, but somebody might find this usefull.

The power original AC power supply puts out 10.5 V (well 10.6ish). the mystery 16.5v is created by some electronics inside the plug that connects to the tablet. I've dismantled bothe puwer supply and the plug and theres only 2 wires coming out of the power supply, 10.6ish volts across them regardless of wether the tablet is plugged in or not. Stands to reason that if you cannibalize the cable from the original supply, you simply have to give it the 10.5v and it should work.

I'm in the process of making a 12v to 10.5v convertor to plug into the cigarette lighter. Ill post the results.
[Sony Tablet S] limax182:
Hope to hear good news about your project cause I want to mount my tab into my car :good:

[Sony Tablet S] grokdevine:
cradle exposed

***I have a pic on photobucket but cant post it yet...**

in case anyone was interested this is what the back of the cradle consists of. Looks like it would be very easy to mod.

two plastic clips (mine are very loose from dropping it) and 4 screws. If you want to get to the board its 4 more screws.

If you wanted to mount the cradle in a car you could easily drill screws into the back as the board runs across the bottom edge. I might buy a new one and try it now that Amazon has them for $20

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

If you meter just the cord its obvious that power comes in on pins 1 & 2

I also metered my cradle while docked and got the same results but if you meter across every combination of 2 pins it gets interesting

1-2 1-3 1-4 2-3 all give you 10 and change

2-4 give you 14

3-4 give you 3

which means there must be some return to the tablet is docked? probably a resistor across 2 pins?

either way if you cut the power cord (between the transformer and the tablet) and there truly are only 2 wires then you should be fine with just putting 10.5V across those 2 (just make sure you get polarity right!)
[Sony Tablet S] Redd4:
hi all.

tb303lava thanks for that info. thats great.

I'm trying to decide between a tablet z and a tablet s for my car system, the z is cooler no doubt, but the s can use 128gb cards, and thats the clincher.

can anyone tell me please, does the sdxc update apply to all tablet S models?

or should I search for particular versions

regards,

redd .

Hello everyone, sorry for my english by the translator.

I did some tests, and with this configuration, the battery is charging.

(The forum will not let me write the external links before 10 message listing, if someone writes to me privately send him the link of the photo.)

I hope to be of help!
[Sony Tablet S] Redd4:
hello David, that is good news. I will send you a private message

hi David, I will try to post the pictures
[Sony Tablet S] davideponte87:
They can be useful to understand the connection of the cables?
[Sony Tablet S] Redd4:
I certainly found your pics useful ) thanks.

so i made a car mount from the cradle that came supplied with mine, and it looks damn good!

now, please understand that none of the nasty looking business bits can be seen from the front, and since this is the case, i couldn't care less what the back of the mount looks like..

which is handy cos it looks rough.

I made it to slip into a slit under a dashboard vent in my ae111 levin.

I'll wire it up to charge the device as soon as i but a 10.5 volt supply from ebay. Has anyone found one yet?

Ill take some pics of installed tomo, it was too dark tonight.
[Sony Tablet S] kfcc:
Sorry for my poor English.

Can anyone help?

My SONY tablet S cannot power on by red light always blinking on charging. Did any one have same experience and feed back me the reason why?

And I tried to check the register of the pins on tablet. pin 2 and pin 3 are around 9.05K ohm, but pin 1 and pin 2 is "open'. Can any one share the normal SONY tablet S charging pin's ohm data? Thanks in advance.

Running Bigxies JB on my GSM Nexus with Franco's Kernel and when I run a 720p MKV on MX Player (via the software decoding of course) my Nexus gets pretty hot on the camera end of the handset. It plays the video perfectly, but the heat worries me.

1) Is this pretty common when trying to play such large files?

2) Has anybody figured out a way to play 720p MKV video on the Nexus without too much heat?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilishSerpent:
It's normal, in my opinion anyway. My phone gets hot in the same area as well (camera end). Unless the phone burns you (literally) when you touch it, it should not be a concern.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
It's not THAT hot but its pretty hot. When it gets to the point that it makes the screen feel hot, that's no good.

Shame that just having the MKV container over regular h264 video would make it that hot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilishSerpent:
I've had times where my phone would get that hot as well. Netflix sometimes creates this issue for me. I highly doubt anything is out of the ordinary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
Yeah but so hot that you worry about your phone?

I see threads on how to flash it but I really wanna know if anybody's who's flashed either of these leaks notice any improvements over the 211 ICS OTA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] texbuck:
I just flashed so I cannot be too judgmental, but my phone now stays on 4g with 3 bars, when it would switch between marginal 4g and 3g before. 4g is just ramping up in our area, so I can hope things will only get better. I can't comment on battery life this soon after the flash.

texbuck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
Cool. More feed back will help too. I mostly use 3G to save data and stay under the cap. But lately my wifi been choppy and i notice lag here and there. Also have some force closes sometimes too.

When I first got on the ICS 211 it was was great. My wireless radios were great, wifi range was good, and ICS was running butter smooth. But lately noticing little bugs. I factory reset like 4 times already lol. Even went into recovery and factory wiped and wiped cache, wiped each twice! The problems haven't gone away.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beaton3344:
Does seem much smoother than .211 but I noticed the same when I first ran 211 it was flying but slowed down. Just flashed update today .215. Running very smooth and I live in a horrible signal area lucky to get 3g and its seems more stable than before. So time will tell. Will report back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Hindle1225:
I've run .214 and .215. I've noticed some very slight improvements with these two over .211. I would say connection seems more stable and phone lag been improved a bit. However it seems that these roms don't lock in my gps location near as quick as .211 did.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] beaton3344:
Yeah I just tested GPS... It is a little slow but works fine once its locked on.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I just flashed 215 last night. Ran speed test on 3G. It's slightly quicker. On 211 and prior my 3G speeds on speed test were consistently around 2.30's MB. Fluctuates between that and sometimes hits 3 MB download speed. Last night running the test on 215 leak, speed was like around 2.50's. Will continue to report back if I notice bugs. Will run more speed test in different locations.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] syrnett:
Here are my findings, but bottom line is going from 211 to 215 has been great and my battery seems to last way longer.

Data restriction was automatically added on upgrade to 215. I Had to manually remove it.

I have to display my noobienesh. What you mean by Data restrictions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] syrnett:
My link above will have a few more details I just added, but in my experience so far, a good rule of thumb with .215 seems to be 1h heavy use per 10% battery. Wayyyy better than .211 for me.

Erik
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I reverted back to 211. Data speeds showed up faster on speed test app on 215 but it was actually slower in real performance. Data and Wi-Fi kept cutting off and reconnecting on 215. It was too inconsistent for me. Also when I texted the word prediction was insanely retarded and not accurate on 215. Least this was my experience. I did a factory wipe and all but that didn't fix the issues I experienced on 215 leak.

So how do we fix the hotspot thing, I'm using barnacle right now, any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Atrix HD] KayxGee1:
To get rid of the AT&T hotspot verification you're going to need SQLite Editor (or something equivalent)

1. Find the "Settings Storage" app (the one with the wrench)

2. Within that, select "settings.db"

3. Within that, select "settings"

4. Now do a search for "entitlement_check"

5. Edit the value and leave it blank

6. Save and reboot

7. Enjoy your WiFi hotspot

I remember when we had to do that via the command line or coping the settings.db and using a GUI on a PC....or an init.d script.
