I posted this in the other thread as well. I received this via email after I had finished talking to them about returning the defective case they sent me.

" Hi Travis,

*

That sounds great!

And for now we are only releasing the White GLAS,

But it looks like we might be releasing the Blue if things go according to plans, but we just need a confirmation from our manufacturers.

So we do need to wait for a definite answers."
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lightpsycho:
Hmmm...well, no clear version but alas, it encouraging to know we will not only have white as an option...!

I wonder if the ballistics Maxx sg case would work with the gals.t? Based on the videos the ballistics screen protector is similar in dimensions and application (however the glas.t will be a lot better obviously).

Thinking of getting a UAG case for home use and a ballistics with screen protector for outside of house use.

So I was using face unlock and added a pin but now I forgot it. Is there any way to change it? I can still access my phone using Face Unlock. Can I change the pin somehow? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
Bump. Its the face unlock which I can access but alternate pin isn't working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
Just did factory reset and restored apps using titanium backup. One can always make a nandroid before adding pins or face locks. Restored messages and contacts using Super Backup : SMS & Contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exportsmedia:
I don't believe there is any way to change the pin if you ever forget it. You can only prepare for a factory reset by doing frequent back ups. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
From a custom recovery:

adb shell
su
rm /data/system/locksettings.db

Or, since you actually DO have access to the phone...

Simply use a root explorer to remove /data/system/locksettings.db.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Next time..just call your phone, answer, keep the call, menu, add account, hang up, sign in with new account. Must be connected to wifi

Anyone out there use PA & Unified Remote? Currently on 1.992 and I can't seem to get the Unified Remote remote widget to work. I drop it on the screen, I choose my remote, and then it immediately drops back to the app drawer. Tried using alogrec to see if anything interestng happened, but PA doesn't seem to log much.

Any advice on how to fix?

I have completed my nexus 7 install as my head unit in my 92 Dodge Diesel D350. These trucks have a din and a half radio in the lower portion of the dash, its hard to get to and see, fold out screens hit the "step" that is just above the radio position and once they are motored out, they end up in front of the AC controls. It just isnt a good option. Also since any in dash unit that compares feature wise to a Nexus 7 (besides audio output) would run about 800-1400 in price and would be to deep for the location I had in mind, it makes the tablet a no brainer.

I considered the Galaxy Tab 7 and tab 2 7.0 because of there HDMI output via dock but I just don't think I will be putting another screen in this truck so I opted for the better hardware at the same price as a used tab that would still work with AT&t.

One of my main goals was not to loose any of the functionality that I currently have in my set up. This includes, bluetooth hands free calling, and the basic automation that a true in dash has(i.e. on and auto play with key on and off and auto pause with key off) On top of that I was to gain google maps and internet connectivity along with android apps. In order to accomplish this goal, a combination of hardware and apps were used.

The hardware used includes a ar Charger 5V 2A charged bought on amazon that I hacked and wired in direct on an ignition source and a parrot MKI9000 that I use as a pre amp for the tablet, remote to control volume and track control for the tablet, and a hands free calling kit for my phone. In doing so, it auto interrupts the music for calls along with turning on the amps via the "mute wire" and a relay.

As for software, I used the stock apps along with tasker for the automation and equalizer for better audio control. I also use a volume widget as a back up since my parrot kit is my main volume control.

here is the stock dash before the install

Now for the install

here is the "message center and AC control bezel removed, along with the new tablet bezel to aid in fitting the apposing aspect ratios

next I made a new AC bezel. I will attach this to the aftermarket dash kit that the radio was in before.

here is a shot of the AC controls mounted to the dash kit/bezel

Here is a picture of the bracket that holds the tablet in place.I used two existing mounts for some of the factory parts that are no longer there

now there is nothing left to do but put it all back together

Now this install was performed on a system that already had external amps. If you were to figure in the cost of amps, it may be cheaper to use a pre existing dash unit...but not near as cool

hmmmmmm i dont think this would be a great idea, but i would definitely look around for a car charger for it. For the power button, i think if possible put it in landscape mode, not portrait mode. But it'd be way easier if you mounted a phone of the same caliber. But it depends what suits your needs. Hope i helped
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lirimac:
1. you could charge the Nexus 7 via POGO pins. You could make a dock with POGO pins. There's a thread about pogo pins in the Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 Accessories section. :good:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwassef:
Also, as far as the power button is concerned, I think it might be easier to utilize a magnet, emulating what a smart cover would do. It would be much safer and easier to implement.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
Please explain, I'm not fallowing. Is there a magnetic "dock mode" switch?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingAmir:
Have you seen the ipad 3's magnetic cover - when you open it it powers on? Well I think this is what he is talking about. If you can find a magnetic cover, then you could use it on the nexus 7 instead of using the power button.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
I see. Not really the solution I would be looking for, for two reasons: I really don't need a way to turn on the screen, I am simply going to set the developer option to "always on when plugged in" and the power source would be an on with key "ignition" and the most important reason would be to cycle the power in case a reset is needed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
This sounds interesting..

BUT.

Go to amazon.. search for small form factor (something similar ) Auto android pc..

You will find many very small android mountable pcs .150.00 and under with sd usb hdmi dvi on some s video..

then do a search for 7-10 inch(what ever size you can fit ) multi touch monitor . There are many of them..

I Have one of the small form factor android pcs connected to a old lcd tv .. kinda kewl it has gps and all built in ..

So i think for a just a small amount more money You can have something Better sorted for being installed in a automobile .

Good Luck... I
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
Most android pc's get terrible reviews, and to have something with a 7" screen would cost well over 200 and still wouldn't have jelly bean and Google navigation. I looked at the parrot unit, I even tried it at SEMA in Vegas. I it was clunky and slow for last year's standards. The off brand units are even worse.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
OK this is something I think will be right up your alley guys. I will use the "screen always on while charging" setting and the "sleep in 15sec" setting to emulate the same auto power on and off of a head unit.

My question is, can I use tasked or some other app to make all media no later what I am listening to or watching, stop when the screen times out or charging is stopped?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonhcox:
This is a fascinating project, sometimes the apps themselves have those options in them. I'd look there first. I would love to see how the turns out. Good luck,

Well I picked up another dash bezel the other day and decided to start making room for the tablet since I'm waiting on the parrot piece to come in.

Here is a photo of the day as it is now.

View attachment 1363869

So the plan is to relocate the AC control's to the head unit spot and put the tablet up in the message center/ AC control spot

View attachment 1363881

The stock area for the other items isn't quite the correct ratio so I will still have to make a bezel
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
Did some more work on the Tablet Project

O also used Tasker to emulate a head unit on and off function. So now the tablet wakes up and starts playing my music where ever I left off when the key is turned on and then the tablet screen, sleeps and the music is paused when the key is turned off. The tablet battery will act as the "always on" power lead and the charger will be connected to the accessory lead ( I may have to program in some delay or use the ign lead if tasker doesn't like the start cycle

Got it installed, I couldn't be happier with how it sounds. I still have to mount the A/C controls

Also, of any of you have a suggestion for a good charger to use that won't cause noise when hard wired, that would be great
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chjade84:
I have actually done this with an Archos tablet myself! I can offer you one very useful piece of advice...

You most likely need to remove the battery and connect a 12 VDC->3.3 or 5 VDC DC-DC transformer. If you just leave it plugged in you will likely destroy the battery in about a year or less. When mine finally went I got random reboots from low power, sometimes it refused to turn on because the battery was barely able to supply the correct voltage. I had to solder my transformer leads directly to the motherboard but the Nexus 7 has a pluggable battery pack. Measure the battery at full voltage to see what voltage you need and buy the correct transformer. They are only a few dollars off ebay (lower quality) or digikey.com (higher quality). You don't have to worry about this right away but just know that it will most likely stop working reliably in < 1 year, so plan to either do this mod or buy a new battery. :)

Once I did the conversion all the problems have gone away and I'm now constantly at "47% charge".
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
Was it plugged into constant power or ign switched power? Mine is connected to switched power
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chjade84:
Mine was constant power. If you are switched it should be good - must have missed that part, lol.

EDIT: Actually, that's a very good idea... I wonder why I didn't do that in the first place, lol. I'm looking to upgrade to a Nexus 7 and would like to build mine into the dash but would have to relocate some things. When on AC/USB power, Tasker would have the screen on and when on battery the screen would be off. Only problem could be if you went a few days without driving it would be dead when you turned the car back on. Maybe that's what I was thinking when I did constant power. Maybe there's a NFC device that could be read only when powered on... That could be on switched power and Tasker could use that to control the screen. Oooo or maybe use the 'headset plugged' condition and a switched power relay...

Spec sheet says 12 days of standby time though, so maybe it's not an issue...

MORE EDITS: I re-read through your posts and figured I'd add some more input if you are still looking for answers. What is it you need the USB for? I don't see why you couldn't hack up a USB cable to feed power to the power pins on the tablet side (charging the tablet) as well as the USB device side (power the device) but have the data pins go from the device to the tablet. I just use wi-fi file browsers to add/remove files from mine.

Removing noise is always a PITA especially alternator whine. There are various filters out there that should do the trick though. I think you'll have noise using switched power but the filters go on the audio side before the amp/head unit. (Something like this: http://www.bargainunlimited.net/ser...gdftrk=gdfV21887_a_7c254_a_7c4406_a_7cSNI_d_1)

Tasker can be set to stop media playback on screen off - at least if you use the stock music app. Others (Pandora/Spotify, etc) I'm not sure about. I'd bet there's a way though. In fact... if you had to you could set Tasker to kill whatever app when the screen turns off and launch it again when the screen turns on.

Power button could be an issue to extend but should definitely be possible if you want to play around on the insides. You could get an app that adds power off/restart as menu options or widgets but if the whole thing locked up you would have to pull the battery. You could add a small switch inline from the battery pack so you could interrupt power with a button press effectively "pulling" the battery and plugging it back in.

Other thoughts/stuff I missed? I love doing this kind of stuff so I'm happy to add any input.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
The head set idea won't work unless you hardwired it. All I had was a 90deg elbow with nothing on the other end and it still detected a head set

As for the tab dieing. I use Tasker to shut off all radios when not charging. In that state it will last 2weeks lol.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chjade84:
Interesting... There's a "with mic" option in there too that could maybe be played with but it sounds like it lasts long enough already. Probably not worth messing with! :)

Looks like I was editing while you were replying. ^
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
Looks that way LOL. Well in any case, I fount a nice direct wire in 3 amp charged I ordered. I am crossing my fingers that that one doesn't cause the noise

I know about ground loop issolators but they also kill some wanted sound. I will use one if all else fails.

I am using tasker and it works great! All I really need is for it to pause and start the play music app since all the other apps are net based and if the car is off and im not in it, my phone wouldn't be around to tether. So that all is working well

I have 86'd the power button since I am using a "reboot" widget. I was going to keep the tablet bone stock for reliability sake but I couldn't help but pair it to a PS3 controller via Bluetooth. I figure it could come in handy on long trips.

Now as for the USB cable hack, please elaborate. I know nothing about USB devices and was afraid to just "tap" into the 5 volt and ground without understanding possible issues that could arise (I don't want to Fry something) I originally wanted USB access along with charging, so that I could mount flash drives, plug in USB host devices (like the PS3 controller), and so on. I wish I had held out for the 32 gig model since this is my long haul rig. I use it to tow cars to car shows in Oregon, Arazona, and Southern CA. I'm sure I can find a pin out of a USB connector but is there anything else I should know about this hack. Is there another wire that I need to hack to make the tablet go into "AC" charging mode?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chjade84:
I can't say for certain but I can tell you what I do know.

There are 4 pins to a USB connection: +5VDC, Data+, Data- and GND. +5VDC and GND do the charging and the communication is handled with Data+ and Data-. As I'm typing this I'm not sure it's possible though... When you plug in a USB stick or other USB device the tablet has to give it +5 volts to power it and the data+/- does the talking. When you supply power via that connector it must recognize it and switch over to charging the battery instead of drawing from it.

So.... without some significant work I don't think it's possible to charge it at the same time you are communicating with a non-powered USB device like a PS3 controller.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
That's what I have found also. When in usb host more it can't charge. I guess there are ways around this but I don't know what they are. I'm prob better off waiting till someone figures out how to ac charge off the pogos

Zac, great job on the project, do you mind sharing your tasker profiles for turning off the radios and audio when the car is not running and then returning everything after ignition? That is all I am missing from it being a perfect experience, as things are now I have to pause and play when getting in and out of the car otherwise the DAC has problems reconnecting.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monk2413:
There is a kernel made by a Dev named Timur over on rootz wiki that allows for charging while in host mode. It also allows for the use of USB audio via a DAC which will give you much better audio quality considering the built in DAC is sub par at best. This would also allow for a volume knob but would eliminate the option to use a flash drive for storage. Go to rootzwiki and search for Nexus 7: The Ultimate Car Stereo
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chjade84:
Zac, you inspired me to do the same to my Xterra! I even had to move my HVAC controls, too. :) I won't clutter things up here so the link is below.

http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?p=516965#post516965

Interesting stuff monk... I didn't go through that much trouble though with the DAC and such. I find I get great sound quality (and I'm very picky) out of the headphone jack. That signal goes through two stereo potentiometers for volume and bass and then to an Alpine 4 channel amp.

I suppose if I had to do it again and had more money to spend on it, all digital (especially optical like that guy talks about) would be nice. I had to use the ground loop isolators that came with the amp since even running directly from the battery causes some alternator whine.

I'm just glad to see lots of people doing this!

I'd second that, I cannot figure out how to do this, so sharing the tasker profile would be nice :)
