Are you absolutely sure? I made my own "Car Dock" cable by this instruction http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321491 and it works fine, but not on all firmwares. I checked it on stock N7100XXALJ3, on custom Revolution HD 6.0, Poppuri XXDLL7. And I still didn't find why it doesn't work on other firmwares. Kernel - it's a good idea and I'll try different.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jp.esteban:
I also made my own car dock cable using those instructions and can confirm it absolutely does not work with the stock kernel. It seems Samsung may have chosen a different ohm value to correspond to "Car Dock" mode and that switching kernels to one that supports 619k is all it takes to fix.

Does anybody at know what resistor is now used in official and 3rd-party Galaxy Note 2 audio charging docks to get charging+audio to work?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] guisar:
Samsung does support usb audio out with the stock unrooted rom. dacs work out of the box and you can charge at the same time using one of the otg charge connectors off eBay
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jed Dignazio:
Yea, digital audio using a D.A.C, not analog directly out. We know a DAC would work, But they aren't that cheap.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Can anyone using this confirm a couple questions?

1) Do cm10.1 based ROMs work with this cable?

2) Does this cable have any extra audio hiss that you've noticed?

3) Does this cable keep up with the current demands of the Note 2 with a high current charger in use?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scote:
I have the white version of this cable, the seller sells both black and white so I assume it is the same apart from the colour.

It works for me, I have 7105 stock ROM 4.1.1 with perseus kernel

There is noise introduced on the audio, the noise is not constant, it appears to be interference from charging, if you not charging there is no noise. I think when the CPU ramps up the noise is worse, or maybe when data is streaming. If you swipe the screen with the music paused there is a very noticable noise. The noise has a high pitch component and a lower pitch component using the stock charger. Using an old HTC charger the high pitch part is gone, this is not due to the higher current of the stock charger because I have used stweaks to make the HTC charger charge at 1.8A too. I assume that the HTC charger has a capacitor in it that filters out the high pitch noise out of the +5v power line.

I wanted one of these for my car so I only had to plug in one cable for power and audio out. I have also bought a cheap HDMI to composite converter that has two audio out and one composite video out. This works fine without noise over an MHL cable, which is what I expected since HDMI is a digital signal. I have not done exhaustive testing yet but I will so I can compare the sound quality between the headphone socket, usb audio out, HDMI/MHL, and bluetooth.

The good thing about going the MHL route is that I can mirror my screen on the head unit which has a 7" screen. The quality is not great, its a cheap chinese head unit but OK. Its installed in a camper van so we can play movies from the GN2 to that screen while camped up.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and ordered 2 white and 2 black ones just for kicks. If need be, I'll splice in a ferrite magnet to see if that helps. I will be using an OEM Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 charger. Hopefully, cm10.1 has usb analog audio out. My top priority is quiet, usb audio for the car. I'll switch to TW if I have to, but would rather not ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scote:
I should have said that I tried a ferrite core and it did not make a noticeable difference
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Well FML then lol. I can't have garbage whine or hiss on my system... I really don't want to buy a DAC, just because I'm not familiar with how they work but I suppose that can be my backup plan.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scote:
Try it and see what you think, the problem with the dac route apart from being expensive is that I think that people have been unable to charge at the same time. You might as well use the aux cable without charging, then you dont get any interference. You can always pop the charger on for a boost now and then if needs be.

The smartdoc is fine on aux out while charging, no noise, so it must be how these cables are constructed. If the power and aux were split nearer the phone or they had (better) shielding they might be better
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I used a black cable from eBay and it's money. It's always charging and really sounds great at low or high volumes. :D I think you are getting interference from your vehicle on the cable somewhere.

edit- I should add these cables only work with Perseus kernel. No charging or audio from stock kernel and no audio with AOSP.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scote:
Not interference from my vehicle, tried it on two different home stereos too.

It might be that your cable is different or there is a difference between 7105 (what I have) and 7100

might try a black cable, I have three white ones from two different suppliers
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I have a sgh-t889 (tmo n7105 basically). Unfortunately, I can't get any cm compatibility. Only tw with perseus works. I should have the new and improved iBolt cable at the end of the month. Hopefully that'll work with everything :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Scote- I just installed a pac adapter in my wifes Maxima for an aux input and used a black cable in that car with no noise as well. Just fyi, maybe you need a different cable? I bought mine from ebay seller hdmihome2010.

-edit- after a couple days use I have heard the background noise from the cable in both vehicles. It's not always present, and usually only audible in lov volume scenarios or at high volume especially if there is a gap or quiet spot in the song. Now that I've heard it, it's quite aggrivating.

I read a post in the GS2 forum about how to mod the cqbles to shunt noise. Basically the noise was coming in from the shared ground between the audio and the power sides. I'm going to be receiving the "elusive" iBolt audio cable assembly at the end of the month and will try that also.

I was trying to find a setup to give me 3.5mm audio out through usb that will work with the stock kernel so I can do it with CM based roms instead of being tied to TW and third party kernels. So far, thats been an elusive feat for me. I have high hopes for when I get the new iBolt cable.

Couldn't help but share this article!! OMG!!

Patenting features, patenting devices, or even ideas is another thing, but this...??

You’ve read about the patent infringement claims, you’ve heard about the court wins and losses, and you’re probably pretty fed up with hearing the words “Apple” and “patent” used in the same sentence. We’ve always joked about Apple pretty much thinking they own the rights to anything square or rectangular shaped, as any product that has the potential to sell well is always accused by Apple of resembling an iPad. Well ladies and gentlemen, you’re not going to believe this, but the Cupertino company has just been granted a patent that might make take the funny out of those jokes: Apple has successfully patented a rectangle with rounded corners. I wish I could say this was a joke.

Go to the spare parts and select font size you want. This app is included in most CM7 system apps.

If you don't have this system app you can install CMParts.apk and SpareParts.apk using root explorer.

Open up root explorer,

Mount system to r/o,

Copy the apks into system/app,

set permissions into rw-r--r--,

reboot.

These apks can be found in most cm7 roms.

Just that easy.

Hope it helps! :laugh:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
I have not succeeded in getting a straight answer on this in the related development threads.

One way appears to be to Odin a recovery, but as I am using TWRP, but there is no .tar file out there that I can find (there was a link but its down). I have a TWRP .img, but do not want to mess with the commands to install it (bricks are a possibility). Also, since ODIN will completely repartition, Root Keeper is not going to work (the app itself says it won't).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
The Root66 file should be up soon, its uploading.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shayd93:
Rooted version of the today's JB update to flash trough recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
just wait for the root66 file
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Root66 is best way.

Fyi though. Any previous rooting methods should work fine.

Twrp.tar

http://d-h.st/9df
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
I had found a TWRP tar, It installed OK, and I tried flashing SU, but it did not take (probably an old version).

Then I saw the Root66 and all is well. Since it was rooted, just let GooManager flash recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Ya just odin'ed Doc's above link and it didn't put TWRP even though it said it was successful... first time I've actually attempted to flash a recovery via ODIN. Any tips while I search around.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Check if you have

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Delete and reinstall recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Oh, I was under the impression that I didn't need root to do all this, lol. I remembered the CWM easy install thread, where you Odin the recovery then install a root .zip. Well, I'll have to do it the root66 method, and I have to go to work now, so tonight I guess. I have to be rooted all day long and deal with all this bloat now lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its usually easy like before. But if youve applied an OTA it adds these files which rewrite recovery on boot. It how they update the recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrmako777:
confirmed the manual way (odin tar, odin custom recovery, flash su) still works if anyone cares

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
I would unroot and relock bootloader and reset the flash counter before I send it back. You'll be getting a refurbished one. If it was under 14 days of when you got your phone you can ask them to give you a new phone on the spot in stores.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hrkfdn:
Hey there!

I am having a rather annoying and weird problem.

It started when I upgraded to 4.2 yesterday. I was running yakju 4.1.2 and then flashed the takju stock images.

That was when my phone randomly started waking up to show the lockscreen. I thought that maybe the upgrade

process broke something, however wiping the phone didn't make it go away.

I have saved about 4 logcats from when the phone woke up, but it is very inconclusive. There is nothing repetitive at all,

except for this message:

I/PowerManagerService( 382): Waking up from sleep...
I/WindowManager( 382): Lock screen displayed!

I did some research and it seems that some people have had similar problems (unrelated to 4.2) where it was related to the micro-USB port. It was suggested to bend the middlebar in the micro USB port upwards, which didn't fix my problem, though.

The ones who had this problem also said that sometimes the battery icon displayed that it was being charged (shortly).

That doesn't seem to happen over here, though, and nothing is being mentioned in the logcat about it, either. Also, this even happens with the USB cable plugged in..

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Is there a way to let me find out what initiated the phone wakeup to the lockscreen?

Cheers,

Henrik
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] licht77:
Same here... running now on 4.2 jop40c after a comlete 4.2 stock flash: the device wakes up randomly, approx. once each hour. Shows the lockscreen and then goes to sleep again....

Good to know I'm not alone. I have re-flashed 4.1.2 to see if the problem persists. I am really hoping this is a software bug..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hrkfdn:

For the record: it's been about 3 hours with 4.1.2 now and so far it did not wake up randomly.

you need to rename 2 files in /system/app

secemail.apk to secemail.apk.bak

secexchange.apk to secexchange.apk.bak

download this http://db.tt/JijfspHX

extract and paste both files into /system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- for both files and reboot.
