Finally got the cables I needed to make my Pi laptop ;)

Using a old Lapdock from the good old Atrix and a few stables I have a Pi hooked up and running very well, the result is a laptop with pretty dam good battery life (not that I have completely tested times yet).

Shall write up a quick thread with everything you need to do it if anyone is interested?

[Raspberry Pi General] xaccers:
I was thinking of replacing the clock in my car with something a bit more informative, maybe with the temperature both inside and out etc, then I got to thinking about climate control.

Someone in the past, as with many Xantias, had changed the air flow flap with the blower on full blast, which results in the cable being kinked so I have to have it set to allow air in rather than recirculate, which is not good when you've got the a/c going.

So I was thinking about replacing the blower slide switches with computer control.

If possible, replace the cable control on the flaps with stepper motors, and have the fan power drop when the flaps move.

The blower speed is controled by a negative voltage applied to it (ie -0v allows the full +12v go to the motor, -6v would result in only +6v going to the motor so it spins at half speeed), so I'm trying to track down a way of controlling the voltage with the RPi, or stepped via relays.

The a/c could be controlled as well, so if the temperature is more than say 5C above what you want it to be the compressor will automatically kick in.

There's other functions that could be added too, such as media/games for kids in the back, navigation with GPS, DAB radio...

You could look into this: http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=48W3976

It'll give you relay and transistor outputs, unless you feel game enough to go directly to the i/o ports yourself.

Many things have been discussed here which I don't know about, Actually lazy to see each and every page!

So I was going to buy a Raspberry Pi for Myself and wanted to do something with it until my holidays were going on!

Any suggestions for projects using the Lil RasPi which is not much time consuming but awesome and tough maybe.. I like doing tough things :D

PS: I already have 10+ TI Launchpads and 50+ Arduino Boards to play around with :p All possible due to Moonbots, Google Lunar XPRIZE and XPRIZE After Earth

I think I'm going to go with a uln2003 running off the PWM.

I've ordered one with a stepper motor for testing.

So far I've got the RPi talking, got the 16x02 LCD working over I2C, and dynamic dns working.

I'm waiting for the ULN2003 and stepper motor to arrive for testing.

I've also got two temperature sensors on the way, so I can test the temperature control program.

I'm trying to track down an old O2 3G dongle at work to use with a giffgaff sim, and I'll look into a Google music program.

Apparently the air intake flap already has a mounting boss for a stepper motor so I'm trying to track down the spec of the one Citroen are likely to have used on other models (never heard of one with a stepper motor controlled flap, but the Xm apparently has them rathe than cables so it either was contemplated and discarded due to costs or Xantias in non-UK markets had it fitted).

Hardest part is going to be removing the dashboard to install it all and making damn sure it only needs to come out once!
[Raspberry Pi General] 5ft24:
Yep. Install tightvncserver on the pi and use androidvnc on the phone to access it. Works great

Hello friends.

I just got my raspberry pi. i m planing to use it as xmbc media center. i have one question. Will my pi play all the video formats like flv, mkv, avi etc?
[Raspberry Pi General] freetoaster:
Mine is currently a RaspBMC media center, I'm not sure about all the files it will play I know the only one I had an issue with was running an external DVD drive, but you can buy that license and it will work.

What I would like to do is set one up as a combination PID, remote on/off and monitoring for our Silvia espresso machine. Haven't had the time :(
[Raspberry Pi General] obaki69:

The latest model "B" with 512MB RAM hasn't given me any problems, unlike my earlier 256MB model. I've got freepbx, samba for file sharing and transmission running on it for quite a long while now. The only issues I've ever had are related to the power supply that I used to have to power my external usb drive and the Pi. When I split them, it's been okay since.
[Raspberry Pi General] ke6d:
I wanted to use it as a karaoke media server. The HDMI port will be connected to the 55" flat panel TV. The audio port will connect to the mixer, microphones, and audio amplifier. A USB HD with several thousand karaoke videos will be connected to one of the USB ports. I wrote an Android app that allows the user to select a song from his phone and queue it up for playing. I actually has the whole setup running pretty well with a Windows computer running VLC with http interface enabled. The Raspberry setup would make the project more compact and interesting. On the Raspberry setup, this was a bit challenging because VLC currently does not run with graphic hardware accelerator mode. I was able to compile the latest vlc source tree with hardware accelerator turned on. It is running satisfactory in the command line mode, but when I turned on the http interface, the Pi lost the video screen after playing the first video screen. I guess I need to dig deeper into vlc code to find out what the error was.
[Raspberry Pi General] corcorwhite:
My mindset is sort of "which devices could use a connected computer."

Right now I just have 1 raspi that I am using for off-site backup of the servers at my job (high school IT). The commercial costs for the data I needed were outrageous. So I just bought a $100 2TB hard drive and $35 raspi and have all the functionality I need. I'm using bittorrent sync for this which happens overnight so there's no extra stress on the network when school is in session. For extra security I disabled the relay servers used by btsync and set up the connections manually. One of the problems with this is my ISP changes my IP address about 2 or 3 times a year. So I just created a script on the same Pi that notifies me via email when the IP changes (using icanhazip.com), then I can make the necessary config changes to btsync.

Another plan I have is to set up an outdoor theater at home and then I would connect it with a Pi. I already have a Plex server set up for my GoogleTV so I could easily connect the outdoor projector with a Pi running RasPlex.

Another use would be to attach a Pi to a cheap printer to create a networked printer at home (using Google Cloud Print, or you could do it other ways too I guess). I don't print nearly enough to justify this scenario, but somebody else might.

This whole concept is for sure in the infant stages, but it is very exciting. It's fun to think up ideas to bring your older devices into the modern age for only $35 + wifi dongle.

I haven't done it on the pi yet, but just loaded it on my Ubuntu machine here. That guide looks pretty complete, so you shouldn't have any problems.

My latest project was multitasking my pi.

Running XBIAN, I decided sitting behind the TV was perfect for other stationary uses. I'm a licensed ham radio operator, so that's where I turned.

We have a system called APRS. Automatic Position Reporting System. It is used as a tracker in mobile use, and there are fixed stations to repeat the signals, and route them for the messaging function (kind of like ancient email)

There are igates that repeat the signal to the internet, and vice versa.

My pi is now running xastir for APRS. Right now it's only on the Internet side, however a USB sound card, and it is ready to connect to the radio for the other half with another package called fldigi.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanustud:
Has any one received frequent update for GT-N7100 purchased from UK on KIES. My OTA Update says am "on the latest firmware" however connecting to KIES and running the firmware upgrade option starts downloading and installing the upgrade on Note however nothing changes. I have repeated this process over and over yet the firmware version remains the same. Has any one seen or experienced this? or is this a issue with KIES.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
Hello,

As mentioned in my post, i have come up with a solution that should keep noise suppression off while in a call.

Test device

Device: GT-I9100

Android: 4.0.4

Baseband: I9100XXLQ6

Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023

Build: IMM76D.XWLPT

Mod: None (completely stock)​

Instructions

Download app from Link Below

Install app

Open app

Ensure the Sumsung Noise Reduction checkbox is unchecked and summery says "Forced off"!

Make or receive a call to see if noise reduction is indeed off

Report your test to this thread.

Click thanks if it helped you!

Optional Select Upgrade! (After a small donation you will be directed to the download location.)

FAQ

Noise reduction did not appear to be off, why?

Did you get the notification during the call?

Yes

Something went wrong, please post device and ROM details in this thread. Thank you.​

No

Please ensure your settings are as pictured.

​

My phone app still had the noise reduction symbol and the menu said it was on, why?

The phone application may still report that noise reduction is on, i can't stop it doing so. The question is, was it really on? And did the person call think it was on? If the person is unsure, while still on the call, try turning it off and see if it make a difference. (It shouldn't) See picture below, it is a screen shot of a call with noise reduction off, but the phone app reporting it is on.

​

Download

Note: This is Ad supported, donations made here can download the Pro version.

Get it on Amazon

Samsung Noise Reduction OFF

Please post any feedback or idea's you may have that to improve the application.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
Updated the app and removed the Google Play links.

Watch this space, an auto update feature is being implemented.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dhanu@xdadev:
Y wud someone wanna switch noise reduction off while its a great service? O.o
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
Because there is a known issue that causes echoes when the device is put in certain protective cases. It also occurs when some of the internal components become loose. Switching noise reduction off fixes both and until now, there has been no way to have the noise reduction switched off permanently in stock ROM's, it has to be done for each call.

In short, there are many reasons, these are just a couple.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jrhoop:
Yeah i had the problem you mention. Get a bad echo for the other person.

I edited a hex file as per here on stock ICS which worked fine.

Went custom rom shortly after and never looked back.

But for those that dont want to hex edit then this would be ideal!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
Yes, designed for those with stock, off the shelf devices. Though it will work on all ROM's.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
Plenty of views and downloads, but no feedback!

Any user here tested this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Warren87:
Thanks for your contribution .
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hollisnh:
just downloaded and will try it out soon!

I am using my S3 in the car along with aux input to car stereo as the speakers. Callers on the other side complain about hearing themselves.

Oddly they never had this issue with Atrix 4G or couple other older phones in the same setup, so there is a good chance its Samsung NR at play...

thanks for the efforts!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
I think that would be feedback from your speakers being picked up by the microphone. I don't have a SGSIII at the moment, but if it does have dual microphone noise reduction, then i would have thought that would stop this sort of thing from happening. As it is designed to cut out the background noise.

Give it a try and post your feedback, though my suspicions are that it would actually make this scenario worse.

I'm trying to download this app for my galaxy note experiencing problems. I can't see it on the google play market, is there a direct link I could have for it please?

No idea why my account has been closed and its very frustrating trying to argue my case for reinstatement with Google's support bot! Anyway that's beyond the scope of this thread, i have a put public download link in the OP (replaced the broken links)

When using the application there is a notification when its forcing the noise reduction off.

Please give feedback as to how the results are going.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] andypa1:
Thanks for replying so quickly Nezero.

hope im not being stupid here, but you've replaced the link for your original post with a link to the download site, but the apk is not downloading. Thanks for all your hard work with this, I'm hoping it will fix a long term problem i've been having
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
Sorry, must have cancelled the edit accidentally. Now its fixed! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] powerserge1:
So is this working for anyone?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
It certainly works on my SGSII, personally I'm taking no news as good news! Had a few positive comments on my app when it was on Google Play. Saying it stopped the dreaded echoes.

Please let me know what results you get.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] andypa1:
seems to be working for me, less "HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME" in calls! :)

Any way of removing the app from flashing up after every phone call?

Not working for me. It seems to be reducing echo slightly but with my Otterbox Defender and Commuter same results... I even tapped over the microphone but little to no effect. Card board trick nope
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RobZarzecki:
Did not work on cyan 10. I'm on usa version of hardware though
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
When you say it didn't work, do you mean it didn't fix the echo or think that noise reduction wasn't off?

All SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 i have seen tested report that dual microphone noise reduction feature is off, though i have had no conformation (other then you) if it is or not when listening to call quality. It would be nice if someone with this device running a stock ROM can report if using the app causes changes in the call quality.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RobZarzecki:
When on miui build with cm10 base your app configuration shows it is working but to the listener of the call there is still echo.

Miui Rom problem. Probably not your application

didnt work to reduce echo when using with car speakers headphones output....

I think my issue is that s3 turns the noise reduction OFF when the headphones are plugged in, anyone know a way to force noise reduction to be ON when headphones are plugged in?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -=nezero=-:
I don't have an S3 to look at, but it certainly does that with the S2. If you turn noise reduction ON during a speaker phone call or a call with headphones plugged in, you will have to speak directly into the MIC as you would with a normal call. So i'm not sure that you would want to do that.

How ever, I can force it ON in the same way i force it OFF.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hollisnh:
let me explain further. I am using my s3 in the car with the s3 headphones output to aux input cable in order to use the car audio as a speakerphone during calls and to streaming music. But with this setup during phone calls the other hears themselves. Now if I switch to s3 speakerphone only (not going through car stereo) the other party doesnt hear themselves.

My understanding its because S3 turns off noise reduction with headphones plugged into it and then turns it on with using the s3 speakerphone.

Which would explain my problem.

I previously used a Motorola Atrix 4G is same setup and never had other party hearing themselves.... no idea why... noise reduction on all the time? I guess

would be great if you could give the option to having the noise reduction permanently ON

will donate if it works!
