[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giangishanghai:
hi all,

i think i need help from you guys.

i am working to install our tab as stereo car. it work very well !!!!!!!

my question is, there is a way to power on the device without use power button? i plan to connect it to my notebook.

this, for me, make big difference in making the mould for the car dashboard.

thanks indeed and happy new year!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
If you want to take the case apart you could remove the power button and wire in a short throw solenoid that is activated by the car's internal 12 volt power. This would trigger the tablet's power button automatically when the car started.

You'd need to root the device to install a power off button on the homescreen through so you could power it off via the touch screen.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giangishanghai:
thanks man,

about root and install power off button i already done it, no problem, and i am working with "smart screen on" and "off ".

about your suggestion, i am not sure if i am able to follow your idea with my poor knowledge. i will appreciate if you can give me a little step by step guide.

eventually.... let's say that i dont want to remove the power button..........

if the device for some reasons will shut down (not just the screen, i mean total power off) is there a way via pc to power on again without use the power button?

maybe adb command or other way?

thanks again to all, i have almost finish all the work so that i am ready to assebly it on the car.......

cheers
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Well you can't use adb to power on the device. That deffinately doesn't work.

What I was talking about was using a solenoid that runs on 12 volt power. Basicly a solenoid lets one electrical circuit influence another electrical circuit without the two circuits connecting.

The car's DC power would activate the solenoid which is basicaly just an electromagnet. When it has power the electromagnet activates and a little piston inside it completes an electrical connection for the circuit you want to power.

Even easier to wire, you could also move the power button. Just take out the one that's in the tablet and run two wires from the existing leads to another power button that you remote mount somewhere else. This won't be automated to start when the car does, but it will let you use a remote mounted button that functions exactly like the existing power button.

The only down side is the difficulting in installing those lead wires. The power button in the tablet is wired with a VERY TINY ribbon cable. It's basicly two copper lines embedded in a single flat plastic wire. It's very delicate work to cut those and soilder in new wires. It can be done, but it takes a delicate hand with surgical precision.

If you do it right though, it will work like a bloody charm. And you can put a power button on your dashboard somewhere that's easily accessible.

The 3rd option, that's the least high tech, is to fabricate something that lets you press the existing power button. Perhaps a hole in the dash bezzel that surrounds the tablet that lets you stick a finger in under it and hit the button. That's guarenteed to work. It just involves careful fabrication to make it look nice.

Also, for the application you're trying to use the tablet for, read through this message board....

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/

It's a message board dedicated to in car computers. I built a Windows 2000 based PC to run GPS and audio in my car and that forum was absolutely invaluable. If there's another sollution to remote mounting smartphone power buttons it will be there with how to guides. It's a great community for getting help doing the kind of project you are working on. They will probably have good software ideas for you too to get the best use out of the tablet for your purposes.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giangishanghai:
you are really the man,

thanks indeed cause u spend time to help me, i already found some quite good stuff, but i'am not satisfy.

i will follow your suggestion, i will learn more and i will let you know about.

thanks a million again and keep in touch

cheers, happy new year!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
I have one in my dodge magnum. If your looking to have your tablet turn on with the ignition you can try a program called tasker.

I have power supply attached to my ignition and when I turn on engine my tablet wakes up. I have a ton of things automatically start when it recieves power. Everything pauses when it doesnt recieve power.

Or you could also try tablet talk and maybe those nfc sticker things. You have a lot of options of you dont want to open up the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giangishanghai:
thanks for your help too

but i think you are talking about to wake up tablet, right?

my question was about to power ON the device without to press power button, not just wake up. about this i have already manage it with smart screen on/off from the play store...........

cheers
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Did you get that app working well? I couldn't make it work at all.

The whole idea sounded neat even though Im not doing a car install.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giangishanghai:
hi man,

yes, i have installed smart screen off (that can also wake up the device) and it work very well.

i am using two wave to let the screen off and two wave to wake up. all other setting as default.

Smart Screen Off 2.0

let me know if i can help you in some way.

cheers
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamicengineer:
I second the Tasker solution. Also, since you're mounting in the car anyway, i would look at an app called Torque. A cheap bluetooth OBD2 interface can be used, and Torque can be set to put the device in standby when ignition is turned off or when tab isnt "plugged in" (because power to tab is switched by ignition).

Using Tasker, you can wake the device when the ignition is on, then start the apps you use while driving (pandora, maps, nav, my tracks, etc). There's a bit of a learning curve with Tasker, but spend a bit of time with it, and you will start to see its potential!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeb192004:
Yes. Tasker is a great app. I use that in my og galaxy tab I have installed in my car. I wouldn't worry about powering the device on and off. If your trying to save power, you won't lose much even on really hot or cold days. Tasker has a lot of options that you can set to help save power.

Did a quick search, nothing obvious popped up for me...But i have an annoying thing with my S3 and facebook messenger, it can sometimes take 30-40 mins before my phone tells me there is a message, doesnt matter if the app is open in the background or not, ive reinstalled it, cleared data and removed and re-added my account with no change - anything else that i could try? The normal facebook app never tells me of messages does for notifications though lol.

lol you guys...how many stock based touchwiz roms do we need? you guys realize all these roms are completely stock that have been themed and modded. with a little intuition, those mods can be done yourself. take a stock odin image, place it in dsixdas kitchen, add your mods, package it up, and you now have the same thing posted in 90% of the sgs3 forum.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chefdave12118:
Team Synergy put out some sick tweaks for my old HTC devices (sprint). Haven't used them in over a year but would love to see some more action over here whether its "stock" based tweaks or not. They may even dabble in some AOSP. Not sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
As droidstyle said, customized stock roms are basically, well - stock based roms with build.prop/init.d tweaks. I like to go back to stock deodexed Verizon rom and debloat/tweak the rom myself because that's where I find the most fun. Custom Touchwiz roms seem to take that fun away from me :P

Also, search the internet, there's plenty of info on lists of build.prop and init.d tweaks that boost performance and save battery on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Oh my. A voice of reason!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Most of which are snake oil, like a lot of performance tweaks devs claim to put in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
I say we open up a donation thread so we can get Team Synergy on board!! Their roms are sooo bad ass!! LOL Just kidding guys! :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old MuckenMire:
As many as possible, it's called variety. I'm busy and I don't want to do the mods myself.... I like donating to devs to do it for me...that's why most of us are here.

Also one of the great things about Synergy for the GS3 was the nightly builds. Again, I didn't have to do the work myself, received nightly updates/tweaks and simply donated to compensate for their time and work.

Personally, I figure the more devs working on the Verizon Note 2 the better regardless of what they use as a base for their ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
You can only do so much with a zip rom. Nightly builds are pretty ridiculous for zip roms. If nightly builds actually did something notable, the rom would be completely rewritten from scratch within a month.

It simply doesn't happen and is misleading.

Here is what I have seen from nightly builds of zip roms:

1. Nothing changes from one build to the next.

2. Things are broken, then fixed, broken, then fixed. However, nothing is actually accomplished.

3. Why are we calling them builds? They aren't building crap except maybe an apk or two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WizeGuyDezignz:
I totally agree with you. I had the GS3 and ran pretty much every ROM available for it while I had it. Nothing against Team Synergy, but their ROM always had some type of issue or another. Which I thought was insane for a stock based ROM.

And then the nightlies started happening and like you said, things would break and then be fixed, etc. I finally just gave up and started running CleanROM and Beans. Both were more stable and to be honest, performed better.

I never got the lovefest for the Synergy ROM on the GS3, but that's just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsuch2002:
I also don't have the time to do this myself either. I work 50 odd hours a week and have two kiddos. I also have no idea what I am doing. I would love to learn more about all of this. If someone can put up a link for a good starting point to learn that would be awesome.

Sent from my most awesome phone EVER!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old MuckenMire:
Nobody forces you to download nightlies. I do agree that at some point the nightlies can start doing more harm than good but it's up to the end user to know when it's time to get off the train. I've only ever had good experiences with devs who produce nightlies. If I felt like I was getting a service from nightlies, I donated, if not, I didn't. Simple as that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Whether you feel forced to download them or not is irrelevant. They are quite pointless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
So if these arguments hold up, there should only be two or three roms per device. Touchwiz (or whatever ui is used by the manufacturer), AOSP or AOKP. Everything else is just tweaks and build prop edits. Not understanding the arguments here. Especially from other devs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I haven't looked to see what other devs are saying, but the only thing I said was that nightlies for a zip rom are 100% pointless.

Source built roms are different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old MuckenMire:
Maybe to you, but they were far from pointless to myself and many others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
And to many that can't tell the difference from placebo and reality, they will be far from pointless.

I've run a few blind tests to know that the power of placebo is amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old MuckenMire:
Now you are just babbling....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Nice retort!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
I'm not understanding where all this is going. The OP asked about Team Synergy and now we're 'retorting'. I personally would like to see as many devs working on my phone as possible. No one is forced to do anything with their own device. Some people like to flash nightlies and discuss the results. Others just want a debloated stock rom. It's all about personal choice and what you enjoy doing. Placebo or not, I personally enjoy watching devs develop and create something that gives them a sense of pride.

In my opinion, if five more developers want to come in and do their thing, even if it's just to edit my build prop....come on in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I didn't say you were retorting.

I was referring to this:

I don't care if they bring out a new rom. The more, the merrier. However, I still stand by my opinion that nightly zip roms are a joke.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Wasn't aimed at you directly. Was more of a generalization really. Carry on :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WizeGuyDezignz:
I back up adrynalyne on this one. Nightlies aren't needed at all which I think even Team Synergy noticed eventually since they stopped with the nightlies after a while since they couldn't do anything else with it. Something along those lines were even said by eschelon himself.

If you really break it down, there are only so many "tweaks" that a dev can do to a stock based tw rom. Anything beyond that is most definitely placebo and just fluff text for the op.

That's why I like Beans rom. He understands this (I think), so he just works on theming the rom and adding extra options and functions that you can't get from a stock rom.

But I always got a great chuckle when people would flood the Team Synergy thread and say "this is the fastest and smoothest rom ever!". When that simply wasn't the case. It was no faster or smoother than CleanROM or Beans.

Like I said before, it actually was slower and more laggy in my experience because they decided to tweak just for the sake of tweaking and it didn't always work out.

Just my $.02.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
I agree, it's good to have variety. That's what Android is all about - the unlimited possibilities. Unfortunately, I have to agree with adrynalyne and others. It's like the old saying, 'Quality over quantity.' The more roms in a development thread doesn't mean they are all going to be quality pieces of work. I rather have 2 fully functional roms than 20 roms that are generated nightlies with bugs. Furthermore, I stopped using Synergy Rom after they started nightly builds. I think it's a pain in the ass to keep up with the bugs/changelog and contemplate whether to flash the newest nightly or not (At least for TouchWiz based roms).

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallboy_maximus:
Tf300 = tf700

Look at it this way. From the current breed of tablets, the Asus Transformer Infinity and Prime are still considered one of the best.

The major difference between those tablets and the TF300 is the display. But if you ask me the IPS panel on the TF300 is really bright and good and I would not spend the extra bucks for just the + (plus) in the IPS :D.

Of course from the technical aspect, the chipset and the resolution are better in the Infinity but the same in the Prime.

With the current set of ROMs available for TF300 we can overclock up to 1.7 Ghz too.

From the everyday usage point of view, I am really amazed by the good battery life, clear and crisp sound from the speakers and the acceptable device weight all at a killer price.

You have picked the best tablet so cheer up and start installing apps! :good:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew0776:
Def looking forward to getting home and digging in. As well as unlocking and rooting the device. Is there a one click tool out there?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wetbiker7:
No. You're gonna need to install SDK with fast boot on your PC then unlock your tablet with the Asus unlocker tool if it came with Jelly Bean installed on it. There is a good possibility you may need to wait a few days for Asus to enter your information into their data base before the unlocker will work on your tablet. I didnt but many are experiencing that problem.

You will then need to flash a recovery on your tablet.

I highly recommend installing TRWP as your recovery too. CWM doesn't work well for a lot people.

There are quite a few tutorials in here telling you what you'll need to do. Remember to ask questions FIRST!

Best of luck. :thumbup:
