[Hardware Hacking General] larry62:
This whole thing started with a desire to create a non-kludgy ANT+ adapter for my Samsung GS3 when using it as a cycling computer mounted on the stem of my bicycle. A couple of commercially available options exist for older iPhone models, and newer iPhones have support for BTLE, but with Android the BTLE hardware has been in place in a number of models for almost 1.5 years, but absolutely no system software or application support. Even if Google releases BTLE support, I'd probably never see an update with it, or I'd be onto another device by the time it happens. ANT+ stacks are available on Android, and several historic Sony and HTC phones had this built-in, but no recent models. If your Android phone can act as a USB host (e.g. Samsung GS3) you can kludge a solution together using a USB OTG cable and a commercially available USB ANT+ dongle (e.g. Suunto Movestick Mini).

Originally, I was looking at the ANT+ chip (Nordic Semiconductor nRF24AP2-USB) and considered building a USB OTG based board using Nordic's reference design with a different layout. I soon realized it was easier to just build a tiny USB OTG adapter and plug in one of the micro sized ANT+ dongles. To work best with a Samsung GS3, I wanted to make a right angle OTG adapter where the USB-A connector is pointing down. The only commercially available non-cable based OTG adapters I could find either pointed to the left or went straight back.

My biggest problem has been finding a Micro USB plug connector which is designed to attach to a PCB rather than a cable. The one I'm considering (Hirose ZX80-B-5SA) is actually meant for cradles. It's not ideal as it has an overgenerous distance from the part of the connector inserted into the phone to where you actually mount it on a PCB (~4.6mm). The only other board mount ones I've found are either designed for board edge SMD straddle mounting or designed for very thin PCB's (0.6mm) for right angle cable's.

Attached are the blow-ups of the design files I created using Dip Trace. I'm not a EE, nor have terrific skills with ecad tools, so please be gentle. Any feedback would be appreciated. I was considering using a low cost community fab service like OSH Park to make the boards. If it works out, I have no plans to manufacture or Kickstart a product of this sort. However, I'd be glad to share design files, gerber files, and the simple BOM for this project. Once it's built and confirmed to work, I do plan on designing a simple plastic enclosure for the part which could be fabricated using one of the 3d printer services available. I would also make the enclosure design available.

Given this is a simple OTG adapter, it should also work with other things like USB flash drives.

Again, please provide feedback.

Hi first thing I will say is this is not for XDA but for SPV E200. I am aware this is an XDA forum but after seeing some of the things you guys have been able to do with the XDA ROM/OS I thought I would ask if anyone in here could help with this problem due to the similarity of the devices and the fact that they are made by the same company, HTC.

I have posted this originally in a Modaco forum for Smarphones but noone is technically capable enough to help.

If you could read the link below and reply if you think you are up to the challenge of hacking the SPV to get rid of this extremely annoying "complete lack of bluetooth range in headset mode" problem.

Advice

Hi,

It is really hard to come up with something because I have no idea about your device ;)

Try to contact your brand reseller and ask him for system updates, or check forums that are dedicated to your device for such updates. System updates can usually resolve such issues in 70% of cases

Try to minimize 3rd party software usage and check your devices again

Try Pocket Bluetooth Tools (both versions; check for url at xda-dev frontpage)

Try to change your coat/case/cover because it might have BT radio frequency reducing effect ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t12345uk:
The hardware is HTC, just like the XDA.

The reseller is Orange and they are bringing out the C500 to replace it as they have given up on the E200.

Orange have no intention on bringing out any more fixes for the unit.

All I need is for the power to be increased in the bluetooth transmitter when it is in headset mode.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SP:
Finding right upgrade

What I propose to you is to check different upgrades:

http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/2210.html

http://web.orange.co.uk/yourphone/spv2/promo.html?id=SPVE200_ROMCodeUpgrade

http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page657.html

... all of them claim about BT functionality improvements
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t12345uk:
They all have better functionality as in they work with more headsets, but none of them increases the range.

I am on the latest Orange E200 UK release currently. I have scoured the web for a fix and found nothing, hence my last ditch attempt to see if someone can hacl the phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SP:
What about the rest E200 users

And what about other e200 users? Do they have the same problem?

You don't need any hack. If you use your BT headset in BT discoverable mode, then BT radio works at a maximum transmission rate, if in usual BT on mode, then BT transmission is adjusted to the environment (bonded devices)

I am pensioning off my venerable Sony Ericsson K800i.

I want a phone with a larger screen.

I am a Sammy fan.

I want 4G capability.

With this in mind, in my market, I have a few choices:

S3 LTE.

S4.

Note II LTE (or wait till Autumn/ Fall for the Note 3)

Mega 6.3" (was due May but now put back till July)

Mega looks like cut-down Note. No stylus, lesser resolution 720 HD, lesser screen quality (TFT not AMOLED) lesser processor (1.7 DC) lesser RAM (1.5) bigger battery (3.2) and bigger screen (of course), and presumably much slimmer price tag...

I don't have a clue what the retailers will market the Mega for yet, but price aside, which would you go for?

Would the freshness of the S4 over the Note win you over, especially seeing as the screen size is only marginally smaller?

Or would you accept the lower res screen of the Mega as a trade off for the extra inches against the SIII?

The price is a small factor here. What's most important is getting the right handset.

Please help!

Before the unlock procedure. That's why you always should read first and take actions afterwards.

What ROM are you using btw? Maybe simply try another stock one, like v20 (GB) and see, if it works then. If it still doesnt work... Well you have a problem, if it works, it might also be a problem in the ROM you are using ;)

Thank you again. I've been working with PC's since the DOS days, but I'm not a programmer. My first exposure to ADB was when I rooted the original Nook. ADB drivers and device connectivity takes a bit of trial and error. Your excellent zip file work avoids all this. Your gapps/playstore/extras zip file was just want I needed in order to install applications from external sources on my Nook HD+ running 2.1.0. I can now install apps from the Amazon Appstore and sideload apps from apk files (SiriusXM was the first). Keep up the good work (modest donation made).

Hello leapinlar,

On your HD/HD+ CWM thread, you say that you don't need to have an SD card to to enable unknown sources, but you can download the Extras zip file to the internal memory and I can install the file that way. Is that correct. I'm hoping so because I don't have an SD card on me right now.

P.S. I'm a newbie to all of this, so I'd really appreciate your help. I don't want to root my NOOK HD+, i just want to allow unknown sources!
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:

disable unknown sources?

I recently flashed my HD+ back to stock (had gotten some sort of malware on there I think) and added the Extras zip. Works perfectly (thanks leapinlar!), but I've got a dumb question – is there a way to go back and disable “unknown sources”? I'd like to be able to turn it on and off when needed within the settings or somewhere for some extra piece of mind security-wise. I occasionally use the amazon app store or sideload something, but not all that often.

Not without being rooted. If you are rooted you can use SQLite Editor to manually edit the database, but there is no other way. I would not worry about it. I would worry more about root reseting you than the security issue of having unknown sources activated.

Hi guys,

i have a Nook HD+ as well and searched so much over the net for a way to install third party apps, but I didn't want to install a cwm. Then out of the blue it happened, i went into settings, development and enabled adb and mock location.

Then i installed Mobomarket for android on my computer, plug the Nook into it and allowed the Mobomarket apk file to be install on the Nook.

What i realized is if you have apk files on your SD card or on your computer you can install them through the Mobomarket desktop or android version without errors.

If you don't want to use the computer download the apk and install it using the Mobomarket app and not the built-in installer, as you will get a security message about third party apks being blocked due to security reasons.

So, once you have the apk, open Mobomarket on your device, go to Menu, then Apk Manager, wait for it to load the apks on your device and then click install beside the one that you want and thats it. It will install and run smoothly.

Also, if you want to root the device, you can use IRoot, it took around 15-20 seconds to root my Nook HD+, and you will get superuser as well during the installation.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I recommend you not use iRoot to root a stock device. The first time you reboot it will reset itself back to virgin stock and you will lose all your data. To root stock, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
