[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] KiD3991:
I'm in no means to start argument. But I left it with wifi on for three days to test for battery life.

If you don't connect to the internet much, wifi will barely consume any battery. But if you have any more to say, try having 3G on. My experience is that browsing on the internet with 3G on will even consume battery with AC plugged in.(though that is when I'm still in stock GB)

I keep my wifi on when I'm at home because file updates run better on them. (and is needed for frequent teamviewer usage too)

I did not state the fact that CM10 is worse than CM9, its just stability. And as a person who relies on his phone quite a lot, stability does come before performance.

Thanks for iBlueee and peanutghost(direct translate) for being rational :P

Trying to access sickbeard and sabnzbd on my local lan, using 192.168.0.x:port no.

Every browser I try, comes back with web page unavailable or error loading page.

Tried stock browser, chrome and Firefox. All no luck.

So tried accessing sickbeard loaded on a nas and still no joy.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcucurullo:
I was able to fix my touchpad with this rootzwiki guide above. My touchpad had JB installed, after a battery drain it was completly dead. I was able to charge it by cutting down an old USB cable and charging the battery alone (touchpad had to be opened).

FYI (Tried ubuntu 12.04.2 in 2 different machines, the tpdebrick only worked on my alienware on the Dell with 1GB of ram it did not worked. The alienware has 2GB of RAM.)

The battery took almost 50% charge, then tried booting it up and nothing (only got question mark).

Theres a small button inside the unit in the charging module, I pressed it, and the unit turned off (it was the only way I could get it to shut down.

Did the debrick process, after that the touchpad would not charg via the USB port and only via the touchstone, so I did the ACMEUninstaller to remove android and it's good as new again. The problem for me was caused by the JB android installed. I had no problems when it had ICS.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neowster:
Followed the instructions in the link from the first post. And it works!

Was skeptical as instructions seems very complex, but I thought I got nothing to lose. In summary, it was straight forward and you just need to:

1. Download Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and burn the iso to a CD/DVD.

2. Boot up your PC with the Ubuntu Installation CD.

3. Select Try Ubuntu rather than Install.

4. Follow the listed steps/instructions. PS: If you see a "space" for the terminal command, there is a "space" required when you key in the terminal command. And when the script is running, its working, even though you see nothing on the touchpad screen. When "All Done", the touchpad simply rebooted by itself, and ran through the usual boot-up sequence.

Good luck.

Next issue, when it told me to hold my power+vol down+home button down, it would time out with some error( I think it said qdl not found something like that). Tried a few times, then tried a samsung cable for my phone instead of the original touchpad cable, and that worked. Thanks to the guy at rootzwiki for the information.

[Hardware Hacking General] QNBT:
Does 1000 ohms apply to USB driven mics (somehow)? Or is it only a matter of drivers? To be specific I'm referring to the Snowball from Blue.
[Hardware Hacking General] Adreaver:
I'm considering adapting this mod to my specific needs. I'm looking to hardwire my lady's car for handsfree using google now. I have headphone audio in via a tape deck adapter. This mod would allow me to add an external mic mounted to the steering wheel or dashboard.

Is the mic functionality of this mod exclusive with audio output? Or could I keep the Red, Blue, and remaining copper wires and attach them to a separate 1/4" jack for audio out?

This would then give me a Y-Adapter, with one side for Mic In, and the other for Line Out.
[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
If there is a way to configure that chip, its locked away in proprietary drivers. The ohms only affects the pins 1 and 2 in the OP. To my knowledge all samsung camera apps (GCam and Note2 tested) do not have the ability to record bluetooth or USB.
[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
It would work well.. to activate Google Now you simply open the connection between pins 1 and 2 momentarily... however, i posted a schematic for the entire audio controls via USB last year. It uses the Built-in FSA chip present in all Samsung Galaxy devices. You bridge USB PINS 4-5 WITH A 410kohm resistor and then using a set of 10 switches and resistors you can seek, skip, pause, and several other actions. The schematic for a car-mode audio dock is located in the USB chip manual.

Sadly this wont work for ifruit devices, due to the fruits closed licence system for 3-rd party products the headphone have to digitally ID themselves to the phone. Take and 4 pin ifruit headset and on the other side of the buttons board is a small ic, it get's it's 1.2v from the earphone signal and transmits digital secure key down the ground/mic wires. Also the fruit company decided to swap ground and mic wires so my ifruit 4 headphones make my note do some very odd things, but put my samsung note phones in the ifruit and all it does is cancel the call.

Thanks for the tips but I found that all external mics for iPhone work pretty well with Android devices.

As I mentioned in another thread, I have an irig mic cast and it works like a charm with both my old Galaxy Note (now sold) and with my Galaxy Note 2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795707

Also it's a condenser mic which should have better sensitivity than a dynamic mic, and it's got a socket to connect a set of earbuds or speakers.

I got it for $39: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/IK+Multimedia+-+iRig+Mic+Cast+Condenser+Microphone+for+Select+Apple%AE+Devices/4755719.p?id=1218522129796&skuId=4755719

There's also a bigger handheld version of the same mic:

[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
I tried an iRig. The guy at Radio Shack opened it up and we tried it. The volume was unusably low.
[Hardware Hacking General] springer.music:
The iRig as such is a guitar adapter, therefore I don't think it's suitable for mics:

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11976281

iRig mic and iRig mic cast on the other hand are real condenser mics.

The recording volume on mine is loud and clear, it also has a switch to adjust the sensitivity from Low to High (a sort of volume booster).

Most likely the guy at radio shack made you try the wrong product...
[Hardware Hacking General] Adreaver:
Audio inputs have 2 possible settings: mic or line. Mic uses a hardwired preamp to boost volume to usable levels, where line does not.

While most professional mixers have a switch for each input, since the iRig went for an iDiot-proof solution, you need to buy the correct adapter.

Maybe somebody more motivated than me could solder in a switch with an extra resistor that would allow for a mic/line toggle. Probably easier to get the mic version and disable the preamp for line rather than the other way around.

Edit: http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=4770587&pid=1218526674224&ev=prodView is an I rig mic preamp that enables phantom power. Won't allow an all in one solution for mic/line, but should be a hack free way to attach any mic you want.

I think I explained this to you in a previous post:

iRig = guitar adapter (not suitable for connecting mics, hence the low volume you get when you connect a mic to it)

As another poster pointed out, if you want to connect your own microphone, they offer another interface called iRig Pre.

Apologies to all (particularly springer.music) but can I drive this particular nail out of sight? (And apologies if I'm being particularly dim.)
