It was probably routing you to m.samsung.com, which breaks the link.

I posted a direct link to the manual.

[Galaxy Note II General] wbchristmas:
Does it say anything about battery life, talk times, standby times?

¡dErP!
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
PhoneArena did a review which included a small battery life test.

They put the phone on 100% brightness and airplane mode and played a video for one hour. The Note II lost 8% of battery percentage, vs 13% for the GS3 and 17% for the Note 1.

Given that with the note 1 on WiFi, 40% brightness, power saver mode and a custom kernel, I can get +5h of

continuous

usage (xda/verge apps, web browsing, you tube), I can't wait to see what this new beast is capable of.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
No specifications at all, strangely.

It's not in any of the other posted manuals either. Guess we're waiting for an unboxing video now.

I'm on tweaked 2.2 with ext4 using latest pbj kernel. How do I convert back to rfs now?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Either by using Odin and flashing a full tar.md5 (EE4, EP4, etc.) or you could try this. However, if you flash the rfs formatter, you need to flash a ROM afterward, and it will wipe all your data, though Odin will do the same thing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Thanks so much for your answer.

I tried taking a shortcut seemed like it should work but ended up NOT working:

I was attempting to do it all through CWM.

1) Flashed imoseyon GB kernel that has voodoo <booted fine>.

2) Converted from EXT4 back to RFS with voodoo app. <booted fine>

3) Flashed FP5 kernel <booted fine>

4) Flashed FP1 to FP5 modem <booted fine>

5) Flashed Tweaked 3.0 and did a factory wipe <stuck at Samsung logo>

So, then I followed the actual recommended directions by Dwitherall and Imnuts (Odin back to EP4, update, update, ODIN) and things were mostly fine. The only hiccup is I had to reseat my SIM card several times to get a data connection. Really weird.

I decided a while ago to use my Nexus 7 as my head unit in my 2006 Legacy 3.0R. This is the result.

Audio is done via a Kenwood FM modulator, and bluetooth streaming to the pre-existing Parrot system as a backup.

In the near future I'm going to mount a 3G-wifi hotspot and Seagate Satellite wifi hard drive in the glove box for internet and media streaming.

Video and better pics coming later tonight :)

I really wanted to use the nexus 7 with my car install. But limited storage, and no usb otg/charge at same time. If that was possible it would be in my dash now.

Im going to use a galaxy tab 2 since it can take a 64gb sd. Really wish there was a solution.

But nice, clean install. Im adding mine to my Dodge Magnum.
[Nexus 7 General] UnitedWeFall:
Segate Goflex Satellite or the Kingston Wi-Drive will solve my storage issues. For now 16GB is enough for just music.
[Nexus 7 General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Id like to hear about your experience with that Seagate satellite. It would be nifty to stream that to tablet via wifi and tablet to Kenwood cd player via bluetooth. Talk about ultimate right there, mhm...

OMG somehow by doing this install you got the steering wheel on the wrong side....and we were complaining about touchscreen sensitivity!

Ive also used my Nexus as my media player in my Toyota 86 (FR-S), im using a JVC KD-X50BT which has bluetooth and its just media player so no CD drive which is behind the tablet and it has two USB plus. I use one USB for external USB drives and the other one is for the bluetooth which my cellphone is paired it so i can receive calls while driving. The tablet is plugged into the AUX port for the sound, but the tablet is powered by a mini USB charger 2.1amp in my extra cigarette plug. Im using my cell as a hot spot so that i can stream pandora, netflix, google maps..etc through the tablet. also to contol the volume of my radio thats tucked in the back i used an IR repeater for my remote which i can also change from AUX to USB. Here is what it looks like in the car..

I want to do same thing in mine. No problem with heat of stereo ?
[Nexus 7 General] aaronpoweruser:
How do you like the frs I'm trying to get one but can't find them anywhere
[Nexus 7 General] UnitedWeFall:
It's not really an issue. The tablet turns on and stays on when it connects to power (when the car turns on), then it turns off after a 30 sec timeout once I turn the car off.

As for volume, I usually just leave it on max but there are plenty of widgets on Google Play that can be used to control the volume.

Unfortunately I do need to clip the panel out to turn it off and on, but I don't anticipate needing to to that too often.
[Nexus 7 General] mborg1:
No problem of the heat, i actually used a mini IR thermometer to check the heat coming from the radio.

I love the car, i had to place my name on a waiting list that was for 3 months but lucky me when i called a dealership 40mins away and left my name with them he called me back two days later saying one was coming in and it was the color and tranny i wanted so i lucked out. but a few guys on my forum are already selling their cars cus some are having back issues being too tall or some other excuse

I want to do this in my Toyota Prius Gen III so badly! I just have NO IDEA where to start. I'm excellent with computers, tablets, and phones, but I know nothing about car audio/fabrication etc.

[Nexus 7 General] Hydro8:
To see how stereo is instal behind tablet. There is space between them no ?
[Nexus 7 General] mborg1:
The main reason why i did this was that i hated the radios they offer for the car, stock or aftermarket.. This was the BEST option reason being is that if you go buy yourself a high end radio you only pay for the name nothing more, its not like your getting the best mapping, able to play movies on the go, best radio features.. if you buy a high end radio you will pay over 1k.. what i paid was less than 350, i bought my tablet on craigslist for 180, the radio for 90 plus the harness for 20 and the IR repeater for 20 total of 310. now if you buy the pioneer app radio its 500 which from what i hear its not that good, your limited to what you can do on it. There are other Nexus 7 car builds out there, and you can buy a double din set up for your cars specially the 2003 avalon which i posted the double din set for the car

This is how the tablet sits in the bezel, i will do some modification to the opening cuz its slightly bigger than the table by a hair but i want it perfect, when its in place in the bezel it doesnt move.

nice install guys, well done!

I've been on the lookout for an Android head unit with gps, USB or SD storage input, phone support (to mute music etc. when a call arrives on my mobile phone) and dash cam / reversing cam support and so far I've come up blank (or the product is horrendously expensive and runs Android 1.5 or something silly like that.). mounting the nexus would be great in my Golf MKV, I just need to convince the wife though....
[Nexus 7 General] lithium630:
I am dying to do this but I don't want to lose OTA FM. Would not be a problem for me since I could turn on wi-fi tether but occasionally my wife drives my CX9. She doesn't share my geekness and podcasts wouldn't cut it.
[Nexus 7 General] Lockeskidney:
you can always use Tune in radio
[Nexus 7 General] lithium630:
Unfortunately that only works with an internet connection. That's what would cause issues with the WAF.
[Nexus 7 General] lithium630:
This guy mounted a single din head unit behind the tablet. There is an android app to control the tablet but unfortunately it does not work with JB yet. Otherwise it looks like a great setup.

For permanent installs or installs that are a bear to remove: are people concerned about leaving the device in a scorching car or freezing temperatures? I have no experience with equipment in extreme temperatures so it could be totally fine. Just curious.

[Nexus 7 General] Timebomb606:
I just finished my first tablet install in my cars dash. 2007 dodge caliber. Pioneer head unit is hidden behind the dash. I used the aux from the head unit to connect the audio to the tablet. I still havent run anything for power to charge when driving, but i will through the built in USB on the deck.

Its still got a little touching up and fancying up to do. I understand the cuts arent the straightest ( it was done free-hand)...but this is my first install ever.

Heres a picture of the finished product. ( Still tape on the dash and stuff. Im going to use that vinyl "carbon fiber" stuff from newegg.com all around it, will look slick.

Lets see some more installs / ideas!
[Nexus 7 General] MRsf27:
hmm i wonder where you're from :p
[Nexus 7 General] lithium630:
how are you controlling the head unit?
[Nexus 7 General] Timebomb606:
I am not from Detroit, just a huge Lions fan.

I dont actually need to control the head unit behind the dash. Its powered to the ignition ( I had to run a seperate wire under the dash and up to the fusebox) cause in order to install an aftermarket head unit, you need power to both yellow ( battery) and ignition ( red) but the STOCK caliber wire harness doesnt have a red, so you have to run that seperately.

So i turn the key on, plug the tablet in. Radio was set in AUX mode so the headphone jack just goes from the radio in the back to the tablet in the front. I control volume with a widget on the tablet.

I can post more pictures later of how its run to the fusebox and the overall project if you guys are interested in seeing them.
[Nexus 7 General] UnitedWeFall:
In regards to the temperature, yes it's a concern. In my case the temperature in the summer reaches around 85 degrees which isn't too hot but I guess the inside of a car would get a lot hotter than that if left in the sun
[Nexus 7 General] Timebomb606:
Thats the beauty of my design. Im making the tablet removable. So when its wicked cold/hot I can just take the tablet and will be a blank space in the dash where it goes.

Anyone else see any other installs that were nice? I'd love to see them if so.
[Nexus 7 General] Hydro8:
Yeah i like The way you do that.

Im actually going to do the dame build.

Not too hard to push Pioneer so far that n7 fit bezel?
[Nexus 7 General] Timebomb606:
Not really hard at all. I actually just used a zip wheel and cut a little at a time to make it fit. Had to cut off the "storage compartment" under the radio. Then just sanded the fiberglass mold till it fit pretty flush, then glued it. When i glued to to make sure it held, i used 6 C clamps, 3 on each side overnight.

Then after, just sanded the front. I am actually about to bondo the whole thing tonight cause will make it perfectly smooth and more professional looking.

When i put the pioneer deck in the back, i used the sleeve it slides into, screwed it to the back of the dash and set it inside so it doesnt move. Its actually vertical in the back, not horizontal. If horizontal it would be too close to put the dash back together.
[Nexus 7 General] Crazy Goat:
YES! I am so glad that I found this thread. I've been looking all over the Internet for Legacy owners who have done the Nexus 7 nav replacement..., but I never found anything terribly specific. I own a 2008 Subaru 3.0R and want to toss the factory navigation in lieu of the N7 in the nav cubby.

Did you buy the JDM navigation bezel? Or did you sand down the existing plastic bezel to accommodate the tablet. There's a few different factory bezels which have larger openings to accommodate bigger navigation units they use in different regions. Mine looks like this: gtcarlot.com/data/Subaru/Legacy/2008/13383202/Navigation.html - most notably the N7 will clip into the sides of the vents, as well as needing to plug the holes where the navigations buttons once lived.

You mentioned it "turning on" and "turning off" with the car when it loses power. I'm assuming this is just a standby mode - which will eventually lead to the tablet losing power completely and needing to be booted again.

Cheers! :good:
[Nexus 7 General] Timebomb606:
Hey, I used the same stock bezel the car came with. Just cut it little by little and sanded it so the fiberglass tray fit flush. I then just glued the two pieces together and sanded it smooth. Poked holes in the side where the aux port and the charging port are and have the cords just hanging there when the tablets not in the dash.

When i mentioned turning on and off before, i meant the screen turns off when the key is off, and screen is on when the key is on. ( This is a profile I set with the app Tasker)

If im going to be away from the vehicle for long periods of time, i usually just take it out and power it off....but the standby time is good enough where even if i dont, it still has power when i come back. See a few more pictures below of the project.

[Nexus 7 General] Crazy Goat:
Seems like there's no PM on these forums - but UnitedWeFall, could you give me some information on your install? Did you already have that nav bezel, or did you order one online? Are the cables wired trough the vent? Any recommendations or suggestions for someone doing the same?

Edit: As shown in this iFixIt tear down of the Nexus 7 - the USB and headphone jack are attached to the motherboard with a very long ribbon cable. This means you can detach the usb and audio from the chassis and have it connect behind the nexus - as opposed to cutting into the vents to run wires. (ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+Teardown/9623/2#s36534)

This project is looking more and more feasible.

Got inspired with this thread. Today I took apart my cars dash to try to figure out how to mount my Nexus 7. After a while I got lazy, gave up and started putting everything back together when it dawned on me... I figured out how to make use of the most useless cup holders in the history of automobiles to some good use. I managed to wedge my Nexus 7 between the cup holder tray and the bottom of the head unit bezel and at the perfect angle. Had to use my KaysCase S-Line TPU Case Cover I got off of Amazon for less than $10 to give the Nexus 7 just a little bit more girth to fit right.

Not really an install more of a work around... but satisfies all my needs. Portability, ease of install, accessibility to power button, perfect viewing and operating angle. Still need to get a OTG cable and portable HDD to hold all my music and movies. Only problem left is how to power my Nexus 7 and still not sure if I want to go bluetooth or wired audio on my install.. anyways going to upgrade all my sound systems wiring this weekend and clean my my install, so any thoughts, ideas, comments? :)

I want to do a custom install. But I'm really busy with school and work. Not to mention a little low on cash. So this is my setup in the meantime.

It is a butchered Poetic case mounted to a fiberglass/bondo box that slides into the pocket under my media player.

The media player is a JVC model KD-X50BT. I chose this one because I can connect two bluetooth devices simultaneously. This allows me to listen to music via the N7 and receive calls from my GNex through the system.
[Nexus 7 General] Timebomb606:
Hey, that was actually a thought of mine when i installed mine. I didnt really like the idea of it being so much "on the outside" as to more factory, inside the dash feel. I actually put some headliner fabric around my inside tray, its drying all day today while im at work. Im making a faceplate to cover it as well so i dont ALWAYS have to remove the tablet from the car.

[Nexus 7 General] UnitedWeFall:
The bezel is from a Subaru Outback, I forget what year sorry! I think it was a later model, 2005-2008ish. I'll find out from the guy that sourced it.

And yes I've set the screen to stay on when it's connected to power (when the car is on), and go into standby when it loses connection (car off). Unfortunately this does mean the battery will run flat if I don't use the car for a while.

As above, the bezel is from a Subaru Outback but unfortunately I can't remember what year. I'll find out and let you know.

A custom backplate was fabricated to hold the tablet in, and the wires routed through the side of the air vent. I'll take some photos next time the tablet is out of the car.
[Nexus 7 General] bazabaza:
All very nice mods :good:
[Nexus 7 General] v4g480nd:
On the 2.1A adapter, make sure there is continuity between the usb data pins, this is usb spec for an 'AC Charger' which will tell your N7 to draw the full 2.1A. If there isn't continuity, break out ye olde soldering iron and go to town.

Subscribed. Seems like alot of work rerouting the buttons and all of that. Wouldnt it have been easier to just go to Developer settings and check " Stay awake while charging" and wire up constant power?
[Nexus 7 General] Crazy Goat:
I actually didn't know about that feature! I'll be sure to give it a test. Technically it'd be 'easier' regarding the power alone - but I also have the tablet starting the GPS navigation when I start the vehicle - and disabling the gps application, shutting off wireless radios, and going into standby when I turn off the car.

I have an N7 in my 2012 f250 in place of the factory radio. as far as how to get it to turn on and off, use an app called tasker and have it "screen on" when power detected in the usb port, power on bt, power on wifi. on power off via usb, wifi off, bt off, screen off in 7secs. done. 2.1 charge port is the only way to keep it charged during heavy movie playback, etc.
