[Galaxy Tab 2 General] nealjr:
I'm attempting to follow loosely in Kuchar09's footsteps with my stereo upgrade. His thread can be found here.

This is going to be a two-stage install. I'm upgrading the stock sound system's components and then replacing the stock head-unit with a Galaxy Tab 2. I've already started the fabrication necessary but there is a lot more to come. If you'd like to look though my pictures the album can be found here, however I will be linking to the appropriate pictures during my work log.

Components:

Stage 1

Subs: Alpine SWS-10D4[$149.99] x2 (Fiberglass work has started on the rear doors to get these to fit.)

Amp: JBL GTO-5EZ[ $399.99]

Replacement Speakers: Polk Audio db6501[$174.99] & db5251[$189.99]

Stage 2

Front end: Galaxy Tab 2[$329.00]

USB DAC: FiiO E10 USB DAC[$75.99]

USB Mass Storage: HGST Touro Mobile 1TB[$79.99]

Dock: Samsung Universal [$31.81]

Steering Wheel Controls: Joycon EX[$38.01]

USB Hub: D-Link DUB-H7 [$25.60]

Equalizer: Clarion EQS746 [$63.35]

USB OTG: CE Compass[$6.90] (This might be switch out for a couple of these.[$9.99])

Proposed Setup:

Its not easy to draw schematics in forum posts (I might do one by hand and upload) so I'll have to paint a picture "verbally". I want to access music and movies from an external HDD (which is sync'd wirelessly with my NAS (dropbox/dropsync apps)) with my Tab 2. I want the audio from these files to play over my car stereo. There are several methods at my disposal to accomplish this task. The one I'd like to use is having the HDD and DAC connected to the tablet via a powered USB hub. Audio information will flow (hopefully) along this path: HDD > hub > Tab 2 > hub > DAC > EQ > Amp > Speakers/Subs. If I can't achieve USB audio I'll attempt to utilize the line out on my dock or, failing that, bluetooth.

Notes:

I hope to get the majority of the system working out of the car before I start the install. I'll need to purchase a power supply for the EQ and Amp. My tacoma has a built in inverter which I'll be taking advantage of for the AC components. I have a lot of work to do still on the sub woofer enclosures and plenty of fiberglass cure time to test my set up.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] nealjr:
Day 01

I've been working with fiberglass all weekend and expect to be at it the rest of the week. The "bottom" of my sub enclosures are pretty ugly and they'll probably stay that way. I'll be using pipe insulation to help form an appealing curve around the edges. It was a cheap and I'm fairly confident I could dissolve it with gasoline if it got stuck inside the enclosure. I've been monitoring my volume and I'm on track to hit the cubic foot requirements of the subwoofers (0.54-0.89 cu. ft). I'm glad that I prefer sealed boxes because the ported enclosure requirement is nearly double and I couldn't find that much room inside the door if I wanted. I'm sure the Crutchfield guys could though judging by how neatly they packed my stereo components.

Stage 1 Components:

Stage 2 Components:

(external HDD not pictured, too busy formatting for a closeup)

I'm fixing to leave for work but when I return I will be attempting to get the HDD, Tab 2, and DAC to play nice together. Wish me luck.

Back from work and working on configuring the tablet to work with a USB DAC. This has been a learning experience. I've tried flashing to a more USB friend kernel but to no avail. I'm seriously considering switching to a Nexus 7 at this point.

DUDE you WAY OVERPAID buying all the stuff from Crutchfield, Hell I have those same db6501 components and I got them off amazon for like 107, and I just checked a few prices and I could get those subs for like 85 a piece (with shipping) and the other polks (the 5xxx) ones are right about a 100 bucks.

Your "stage 1" from Crutchfield adds up to $1,064.95 if you bought off Amazon it would of been $644.69 thats $420.26 difference in price man, Hell even if you don't buy car audio from Amazon you could could have bought the amp from Crutchfield gone to OnlineCarStereo.com (a place I used to go before I found the better prices of Amazon) to get the speakers and even with overpaying for the amp you would still only be like $826 for your "stage 1" costs.

But more importantly, WHY are you putting your subs in your rear doors and not like under the rear seats or just saying screw the rear seats and doing a proper ported enclosure?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DarkKrypt:
If the dac don't work go with the line in, keep it up!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] LuCeiFeR:
It seems very hard process though .. Keep up
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DarkKrypt:
He's completely integrating it which is a great idea.

Where as I'm making it easily dockable and removable so I can use my tab 2 10.1 still.

I just have to order the brodit holder now, possibly get a small good quality dac, and/or I'll get a good quality 3.5 Jack to 3.5 Jack line
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] daniel644:
I have yet to come up with how I want to mount mine, but i'll be like your planning. It will "dock" into the car and can be removed easily, for now my tab sits in the passenger seat and is connected by a 3.5mm male to male cable to the aux in on my head unit, a much easier install for sure.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DarkKrypt:
Another thing you could do if you have the money is go to a custom audio/video Car Store and ask them if they know anyone who can do custom front shells.

And make sure to mention that you want it dockable.

A custom shell (where the head unit, controls for air con etc etc are)

Will cost between $200 to *%+ depending on the car you have

But they look amazing.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] CrackerTeg:
In to see how you do this. Personally, like DarkKrypt, I'd want mine to be dockable. [MENTION=4635038]DarkKrypt[/MENTION], do you have a thread with your install?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DarkKrypt:
Actually no, ill be getting a basic holder and I'll start a thread.

Money and time are my dilemmas currently to not do a custom shell

Maybe in the future.

But I'll post pics and vids anyway of my simple secure setup.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] AndreSantos78:
I'm want to do the same with my Galaxy Tab 2, but I can't find a OTG cable to charge the tablet simultaneous!

Can you help me?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marcur12:
So. I bricked my phone when I ruu'd back to the 2.20 update and took the 3.18 OTA update. It bricked my phone because I was rooted with s-on. I called AT&T's warranty center and told my phone stopped working after I performed an update and they sent me a new one. What are the chances that they'll actually know that my phone was rooted? Has anyone else gone through this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RollTribe:
If it doesn't turn on at all they won't be able to tell because, well, they can't turn it on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'm just guessing but you might be committing some kind of fraud in doing that?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mr.5106411:
I bricked my old one x by flashing ice cold jelly RIM meant for the international one x. And I called Rogers and they sent me a new one as my old one x won't turn on. Its been a year now and no calls, no fees, nothing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
While AT&T technically reserves the right to refuse warranty service due to modification of the phone; in actual practice I have yet to see a report of them actually doing that. Many folks here have returned rooted and bootloader unlocked phones (even running custom ROMs) for various hardware defects (with the screen still able to turn on, and therefore not difficult to tell it was rooted), with no issue.

That said, I'm usually not a fan of making a warranty claim for a brick resulting from your own lack of research. But the case of SuperCID and OTA/RUU shouldn't be bricking people's phones (its not clear why it does), so its a bit of a gray area, and I'd personally on the fence about calling it fraud (leaning to the side of "not fraud").
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
I will say this about AT&T warranty. They really don't deal with software. In fact they recieve 5,000 phones that are not really broken. They have a simple check system and if everything passes, then they give you a new phone. Even though I was not in the warranty department, I transferred a lot people there.

Back to the subject, if you tell them you tried to update it and it did not work, most likely they will replace it. As long as it is not water damaged and was not physically tampered with.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
5000 phones in a month? In a week?

Very informative, nonetheless. Thanks for the post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
No worries. Since I didn't sign a contract I can talk about it as much as I want ;). The reason for this is because reps do not fully troubleshoot. As a tech support rep, I made sure to rarely transfer, because it coudld be something as small as a setting
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marcur12:
I wouldn't say this is fraud at all. The rep on the phone asked me if the phone had any physical or water damage. He said nothing about software modification and if he did, I would have been honest with him. The bricked phone itself was in excellent condition even after 8 months of use. I've always been good at maintaining my phones in the past. If anything, they could use the phone for parts or something.

I did receive my replacement phone yesterday in the mail. I sent out my bricked phone today.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DESERT.TECH:
Technically with Google and HTC both having tracking software buried in stock os a real phone software egineer can prolly tell just by punching up your imei what's going on. I did tech support for blackberry business (worst phn in my opinion) and it was possible to pull up there home screen and guide them through setting up stuff. I know some people that do att warranty and they tell me they have never in there location made phone out of warranty from software only physical damage and water strip detector.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
A quick question about backing up and restoring play store apps. I have 2 devices, a phone and a tablet. When I set each one up it always asks if I want to backup my apps and and auto restore them when I wipe my device. If I have apps that I use on one device, will it restore them to the other device? I have some apps installed on the tablet that I don't want on the phone and visa versa. I have always unchecked this option when wiping my device.Also does it only insall the apps that you have installed? I have other apps that I have used in the past so they show up in my play account but I don't use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4_Weasel:
Are you rooted? If so, you can get titanium backup and backup your apps from each device on your sd card for that device. You can also backup the data from an individual apps as well. This way, you have control of what apps get backed up.

I am new to this site and would first lie to say hi to everybody visiting this post.

I have searched for days to find out about this chinese tablet DA788 or d-age 7" A guy came to me this past weekend and asked if I can rest a forgotten password on this tab. I said sure not knowing it was going to be in ALL CHINESE even the recovery. This is the way it came from the factory.

First I would like to say is power on the phone and make sure it can be read by ADB

if it can be read then your in luck.

Second go into ADB or download it from Android SDK

c:\android\android-sdk\platform-tools>

\platform-tools>adb devices "ENTER"

*******DEVICE NUMBER********

\platform-tools>adb shell "ENTER"

\127|root@android:/ # wipe data "ENTER"

wipe data

wiping /data

done wiping /data

root@android:/ # reboot "ENTER"

Phone will now reboot

Everything will be wipe and you will be back in Chinese text. You may or maynot lose all of you pictures and music during wipe, but you will lose everything else. I am NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES !!!!!!! DO AT YOUR OWN RISK

I did 2 of these tablets back to back and worked just fine. You will need to go into settings after your phone boots back to home screen and change the language of your choice. I have attached a text document at the bottom of the page to see how it was done. Hopefully this works for you and good luck. :p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keijames:
Stuff to try/check when Odin doesn't work:-

*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.

*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.

*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.

*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now).

*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google).

*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again (you need the drivers that come with Kies for Odin to work unless Windoze has automatically downloaded/installed them the first time you connected your phone to your PC).

*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.

*Run Windoze Update.

Try all of these if necessary. Not just one or two & say 'But I tried two things on the list & they didn't work'. And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it doesn't work first go on the different PC, go thru as many of the above steps as necessary on the 2nd PC.

I have tried all above, non of the steps able to resolve this issues.

Can anyone better then that ?

What's the difference between your project and the Android x86 project?

AFAIK Bluestacks has its own VM, so you doesn't need to install Virtual Machine any more.

I used this for a several months and it helps me to try an application without to send it to any Android device.

If you use Android x86 project, yo need to install it inside a Virtual Machine or make a USB Bootable, and as far I know it has limitations in the Play Store. Only some application that supports the architecture can be downloaded..

I just got a Note 2 where I was aware that the bottom portion of the screen (about 1 inch) doesn't respond to finger touch. The kicker is that it does respond to the S-Pen. The previous owner said that it did respond to her finger until she got a new SPen for it. Then it started. It's not a huge issue for me because it is in very good shape and I got it for less than $300 bux! Just wondering if it could be something that could progressively get worse.

Thanks for any input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkellerman93:
It could very well get worse over time, try not to drop it or subject it to anymore physical damage. The digitizer layer is different from the Wacom layer (which is what powers the S-Pen) so you're lucky in the sense that as long as that Wacom layer doesn't get damaged, you will always be able to use the phone until you are able to afford a repair on the digitizer.
