Hi,

I recently got a car and and want to use one of those cassettes with the cables coming out on it to exercise my grand plan of outputting the audio from my XDA II to the car stereo.

So what I need to do is have a cable that works along the lines of 2.5mm male to 3.5mm male / female.

I have tried modding a spair XDA II handsfree kit I had, removing the head phones and tieing a 3.5mm male jack to it (so that I could retain the mic and dialing abilities) however there was no audio sent down the line in tests.

Is it possible to buy something that meets these requiremnets? (although I would like to retain dialing ability). Or is there some sort of guide somewhere?
[General Accessories] darkbyte:
You can buy an adapter at www.expansys.com
[General Accessories] z0mbi3:
thanks for the link, I'd like to retain the calling ability tho , hence my wondering bout modding a set of ear phones...
[General Accessories] Rudegar:
you can get an adaptor which connect to the xda

and have a dongle with

1 mono jack for mic

and

1 stereo mini jack for lineout to pc, stereo, speakers or what ever
[General Accessories] cruisin-thru:
There is a very cheap and simple wireless rechargeable device called a Car Baby, this clips over the speaker and outputs all audio to a free fm channel on the radio, no cables to plug in, it also serves as a handsfree for the phone. Look on ebay and search car baby.
[General Accessories] xdaeire:
audio output

hi..i have an xda2, which sits in my modded xda car kit cradle, and there are is a jack plug [fem] with the kit which outputs all audio..i made a lead which plugs into my aux input, on my head unit, and bought a 1gig sd card, and loaded up my mp3,s...it rocks. on the subject of modding ur headset..that should work.....however, the wires are covered with a laquer...before u connect them...strip them and hold a match under them and burn off the laquer...it will work, i tried it first!
[General Accessories] z0mbi3:
Right, 2 things to check out then, Car baby and the toast the wires method. Roll on this evening...
[General Accessories] cruisin-thru:
When checking car baby make sure it is the rechargeable type.

Here is battery type, costs £1.99 plus post

If you get one of these make sure your phone/pda is on low volume when tuning, then adjust until clarity is best, if you have too hig volume on phone/pda it will distort the audio.

This works:

You just have to be careful wiring the 4-way XDA jack to the 3-way stereo socket for your FM transmitter

If you have root, then you can any file explorer that has a root file explorer and browse to /system/app/ Delete any apk you do not want. Be careful deleting things though, If you delete the wrong thing the phone will need to be restored. Once you delete them reboot and they will be gone.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
If you are rooted (assuming you are) with busybox and Android Terminal Emulator installed I was wondering if the flash_image binary could actually flash a recovery image to the device, of course there is no recovery image for our device yet BUT maybe we can start building it if this flasher alternative does work.
[Sony Tablet S] <robin>:
yes,i think it is possable

and there is some flash recovery in official roms,it named as hidden.img

and hidden.img have more than one version

hidden.img will be flash to partion 6 (mmcblk0p6 UP)

by now, we can not decrypt it's content
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
Well, we can't create an standard type of recovery as we wouldn't be able get that to boot. However there are ways to hi-jack the Android boot process and start a recovery that way, look at Safestrap for Motorola RAZR.

This way we can boot another rom from the internal storage (image files) and keep the original safe.

I'm very interested an trying to port it over to the XTS, however when playing with the hi-jack there is a risk of bricking so I need to first find out how to un-brick the tablet when the system partition is broken (boot partition would still be fine).

We can even boot to a custom kernel using kext however that one can be quite difficult to get working properly.

But just the ability to boot an Paranormal Android rom would be fantastic (I don't know if that rom requires changes in the kernel. But CM and AOKP doesn't).

If anyone could assist in Safestarp work it would be great. At this stage it's mostly to find out how to un-brick.

I haven't even been able to boot the tablet into recovery or bootloader mode. I have tried both ADB (reboot recovery, reboot bootloader, reboot-bootloader) and holding volume up on boot but whatever I do it still boots into Android.

With this technique I would also expect to be able too boot into the backup system partition or whatever mmcblk0p3 is (contains the system of the firmware the device where preloaded with, mmcblk0p4 is the current system that gets updated) I would hope Sony have built a whay to boot to this partition using the standard bootloader but I can't seem to find any.

EDIT: I were able to reach the recovery by mashing the volume up button on boot so now I feel much better. However I'm still interested in any information that might be interesting.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Well there is two system partitions and you can use the backdoor thingy from Condi's tools to avoid a soft brick BUT if it writes to the bootloader then we have ourselves a brick.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
I have the hidden.img BUT the MD5Sum is badf0628deff7f47b1148e5ae662aa26
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
Of course as the boot partition requires a signature. Safestarp only writes to the system partition and it only does that once under install, after that in only touches the storage. You can have four ROM slots in the storage where you can installed custom ROMs, the system partition shall always contain the stock system. If I can get kexec to work there aren't any noticeable problems with having a locked boot loader.
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
Prof of concept, or whatever.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/103062670878521097360/posts?partnerid=gplp0

I'm able to boot the recovery and system images on the SD card.

However the recovery isn't working yet (touchscreen working, reboot working, everything else not working)

And I haven't had the guts to try the hijack yet (I've only had the tablet for about a week and can't risk to brick it)

so I'm using scripts to reboot it from adb into recovery or other system.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Holly crap, you got the recovery installed, will this work with the original Sony Tablet S and how did you manage to do such thing? :eek:

EDIT: I see you used Safestrap but from where?
[Sony Tablet S] jumper62:
What device are you using? STS or XTS?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
That is the Sony Xperia Tablet S, I can tell by the branding near the screen and the IR Blaster plastic cover is smaller.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Definitely an XTS. Notice the Multi Port connection at the bottom center of the tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] wan5xp:
WOW! coooool. btw, how did you manage to boot safestrap in XTS? probably same method could be done on STS
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
As some saw it's a XTS. The recovery is safestrap and it works using 2nd-init. I found a good text describing it using normal language here http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-14/2nd-init._what_it_is_and_how_it_works

It should be portable to STS aswell. Every rooted Android should be able to run it. I can't promise anything as I'm working but when I'm done I can take a look at the STS aswell but I would need help from someone with at least basic adb and linux knowledge as I don't have a STS.

It wore actually easier to get this far than I expected so that's good but there are more work needed so I can't relax yet.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Just contacted Chainfire on Google+ for any ideas how this is going to work.

UPDATE: Nothing yet...
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Looks like Chainfire is not going to reply, any ideas how to get Safestrap working or use the 2nd init method?
[Sony Tablet S] wan5xp:
i think you need to contact Hashcode, original developer of Safestrap for that
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
I do have recovery working on XTS, should be quite simple to port to STS. Things left is hijack (simple but scary) and manager app (simple but can ne time consuming)
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
How did you do it though?
[Sony Tablet S] pajn:
Studied safestrap to see how it worked and applied the same

techniques to the XTS. Where things don't work I work around them

by googling, studying others work or just testing. A pretty good

knowledge of Linux, it's boot process and programming does

help quite a bit ;)
[Sony Tablet S] psxpetey:
Can't wait for recovery on sts good job on the xts dude!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
Well, it took me long enough to figure out that the Verizon S4 has its own completely separate set of subforums from the International and AT&T versions.... No wonder I got no responses to my post over there. So, I'm reposting it here:

From yesterday:

My brother and I both got S4s almost 2 weeks ago. He upgraded from an S3. Me from a Rezound. He also has a work phone that is a Verizon Note 2.

We were out at our parents' house over the weekend. Our dad has a RAZR Maxx and a 4G Verizon MiFi for his house. All 5 of these phones/devices are on Verizon.

Both of Dad's devices and my brother's Note 2 were maintaining a steady 4G LTE connection. The Note 2 only showed about 2 bars, but it held it steady and never dropped back to 3G at any time while we were there.

But, both my and my brother's S4s would not hold 4G. We played around with network settings. Changed them from CDMA/LTE to Global, and then back. They would both occasionally switch to 4G for a minute or so, then always switch back to 3G.

I called Verizon tech support and they walked us through things including turning off the phones, pulling the SIMs and letting him push a new PRL to us. Nothing helped, so he told us to go get new SIMs. I did that yesterday and went back out to my dad's and it's still the same. My dad's phone and his MiFi maintain a steady 4G LTE signal and my S4 mostly just stays on 3G.

I also noticed that I went to the movies yesterday and when I was in the theater lobby, which is right in the middle of town, where there is strong 4G signal, my phone had dropped back to 3G there, too.

I'm still within my 14 day return period and I am seriously thinking of returning the S4 and getting a Note 2.

Does anybody have any better suggestions?

*********** then, yesterday ***********

I found a thread on the AC forums where a guy reported the same issue I'm having. He took the SIM out of his Rezound, cut it down, plugged it in, and he said that fixed his 4G reception problem.

I'm going to VZW after work and trying a 3rd SIM. This time, one of the old style, that doesn't support NFC.

*********** then, today ***********

I went to Verizon after work yesterday and got a new non-NFC SIM. Then went back to my dad's house. The SIM does not appear to make any difference. My phone still wanted to switch to 3G and stay there.

But, I did figure out one encouraging thing. I used Battery Monitor Widget to get into the Testing screen. There, I was able to change the phone from "CDMA/LTE (Auto PRL)" to "LTE Only".

After doing that, the phone went into 4G mode and stayed there, and actually worked fine. I turned on my hotspot and connected to it with my tablet and surfed for a while, with no issues.

This tells me that the phone's LTE reception is pretty much just as good as the Note 2 and other devices I mentioned before. It's just a software issue that is switching it to 3G mode when it doesn't need to.

I am waiting for the European version of 4.1 firmware formy Galaxy Tab 7.7 since April, when the new firmware for Asian countries was published. But Samsung seemingly does not want to release ROM for other regions - my bad...

I am new here, so be gentle :) I am wanting to get the S4 for Verizon, but I like the idea of having pure android on it. I know the Google Edition S4 will be released the end of this month. what are the chances of someone releasing it so I could put pure android on the S4 from Verizon? They are a big price difference so I would prefer to save the money.

Thank You all for your time

I would much rather have pure android that CM10, Google said they would be releasing a Google Edition for Verizon at I/O. Available through the play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dstreng:
honestly, do what I did. get the vzw gs4, root and install a loki recovery on it ASAP. for all flashing purposes, loki is basically an unlocked bootloader. rom and kernel support is fantastic (touchwiz and aosp). I was debating the same thing you were, even considering moving to t mobile, but I made the jump to the vzw gs4 about 3 weeks ago. I'm happy with my decision so that's my 2 cents on the issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] @jroid:
Any word on if the google version will have support for all the new TW features? (IR (with watch on), smart screen, air view, etc)

I actually find some of those features great (like the IR) I don't think CM supprts them, but if the google edition supports it then it may be worth waiting. Or like others have mentioned just root and install the rom when it is ready :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
No.

IR may eventually be hacked/put into AOSP/AOSP-base ROMs, but the rest... forget it.

This is why a lot of us are going to be running AOSP-themed TW ROMs.

Anyway, the main difference with the Google Edition is that it won't work on VZ. But the devs will port the AOSP code to the i545 soon enough, don't worry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
As far as I know the Nexusized GS4 is going to be on T-mobile only... and as soon as I figure out if the Watch ON will come to AOSP or is supported on AOSP, I'm totally there.
