Line level to 'headphone level'

While trying to figure out how I am going to deal with the WaveDev.dll file, I decided to check if the audio coming out of the bottom is line level or 'headphone' level, which will be requird by the FM transmitter.

Turns out to be line level, which I suspected (but very clean!). Are there any electronics gurus out there who might educate me on how to convert from line level to 'headphone' level? A suspect a transformer is involved, but I am a software guy, not a hardware guy, so I know just enough to get me into trouble.

A shopping list for the Electronics Store and a diagram would be most appreciated, but any information would be useful and greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tracy Fletcher

Getting very anxious here to try and jump to making a diy carkit...

Two questions though :

- Where are you splitting the audio/microphone outputs ? Directly at the connector, or at the end of the cable you solder to the connector ? If anyone could post pictures, they speak more than a 1000 words :-)

- Do you integrate charging via a car adapter into the cable ?

Ciaos,

Radio Mute

Somebody mentioned that the BlueAngel had a pin for radio mute output as well. I assume that this only works during phone calls? I want to use my xdaiis for Navigation as well as a Phone. I guess I'm going to have to build a noise detector circuit to drive a stereo mute for the Navigation audio.

Everybody needs to remember that echo cancelation should be required for a car kit to stop feedback. I see the person who started this forum is essentually using a head set on a motoro-bike. Has anybody tried doing this in a car with their stereo and a mike?

Hi There,

I am using a bit of a bodge set up with my car stereo and it seems to work fine.

I de-soldered the earpieces from the handsfree headset that came with my Blue Angel and replaced them with standard 3.5mm headphone socket.

I now plug an FM transmitter into this to send all the audio (Satnav, MP3 and phone calls) through the car stereo whilst using the microphone on the headset. I get good stereo audio and have had no complaints from callers about echo as yet.

Hope this helps

Cheers

FM Transmitter

What FM Transmitter are you using to broadcast to your car radio. I just cut the earbuds off my original wired headset (2 earbuds) and soldered onto a 3.5mm adaptor. I already have a Belkin Tunecast II which works fine on my Dell Jukebox, but when using on the Siemens SX66 (XDAIII), my .wav and mp3's work fine thru the radio. IF I have a signal on the Tunecast, the call will ring thru the car radio, I answer with the pushbutton on the wired headset, I can be heard, but I can't hear my caller. Think the Tunecast is not capable of "voice"? Is the Soundfeeder SF250 any better. It is advertised as MP3 and Voice?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] fuzzysb:
I have built the DIY handsfree kit, however i dont use a bluetooth headset so i cannot comment about it cocking up bluetooth audio. I just couldn't get clear enough audio via bluetooth anyway, so i just pick up the phone and use it.

For those using an FM transmitter i am using one also, and my findings are. the connection does give out line level sound and not headset level at reduced audio, however i resolved this by using a standard car preamp. which can limit the output.

Also those people getting inteference on the audio when the cradle has power, this is becuase you have two or three devices all powered off the same car, and this causes a ground loop. all you need is a cheap ground loop isolator available in a car audio store for around £6.00 this will solve the inteference problem.

I did need to use two isolators as i am using a pre-amp but it works ok. the only problem i cannot resolve is inteference from the mobile phone when a call comes through, but it isn't too bad.

I am working on a tutorial with picks and wiring diagrams that hopefullt can be put on the wiki, does anyone know who i send it to to get it on the wiki?

Bad audio quality

Hi,

I'm using MDAIII

I've made DIY Carkit, with help of "connectors" page and your posts.

However, the sound I get through connector (CAR_ON grounded via 10k and wavdev.dll installed) is insanely crispy (without any bass).

I've tried to use DSP application to boost bass, but still, the sound is not nice.

Anybody had a problem like this ?

Some other things I've noticed so far:

- grounding ANALOG_GND together with GND's doesn't add any noise

- GND/SENSE doesn't work as decribed on wiki's connectors

- IN_CALL (as above)

Have anyone tested those ? Maybe my blueangel is faulty ?

Please help.

Re: Bad audio quality

I have same issue as robal. Attached is a wiring diagram of my setup. Although sound is clean(no noise) it is all higher frequency. Like there's a low frequency cut off.

Is there an error in my wiring?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] robal:
Your pinout seems to be OK. I've noticed that pulling CAR_ON isn't always necessary to get all audio out through CAR_AUDIO_X. (OS version dependent).

Your audio is clear because you use FM transmitter. This is one of the methods to seperate audio ground. (second is to use isolation audio transformer).

The only problem is the low frequency cut-off. To date, there's no workaround for this. BA simply filters audio for GSM speech. It's not designed to support car kits. That's bad.

I've made a additional cable with 2,5mm jack in my car kit. It's annoying, but I connect it every time to the headphone connector.

I've made many enquiries to HTC but got no reply. Maybe the high pass filter is software controlled, so it could be turned off, but no one knows.

I even tried to boost bass by additional equalizer, but the effect was horrible (there's comletely no bass to boost, only low freq noise).

Good luck on your efforts. Post any inventions :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] N2O2:
Robal, Thanks for the reply.

I was working on this a few months ago then shelved it. I’ve been using the head phone plug since, but was encouraged again when I saw this thread. Guess Ill put it back on the shelf after getting a little closer to my goal.

I find it unusual that a hand held computer this well thought out, this technologically complete, would overlook an obvious application that would require relatively little additional development. It does appear that the hardware is there.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinta:
I know this is not a new issue by any means and I've tried to search for a definitive answer.

Using what I thought were certain ROMs the phone cannot find certain mp3 files on the external SD.

This has seemed to be cured by flashing a different ROM so so far so good.

I've been running revolt 4.4 and transferred a new album via PC USB to the phone yesterday. Poweramp picked up immediately as usual but Google play music and amazon mp3 didn't. So triggered media scanner manually to no avail. I tried clearing the media storage cache and data as I've often read but on any ROM this has never rebuilt for me...ever.

I ran a nandroid of xtreme v8 which has been perfect. Guess what ? New album in its folder in Music on the external SD card but the phone will not pick up. Any clues anyone . please ?

I'm pretty annoyed at the fact that my Motorola Photon and GS3 both supported Vice City, but my HTC One can't.

I've seen several videos on YouTube of the HTC One running Vice City - I'm not sure which variant of the HTC One, but regardless if it's CDMA or GSM, they essentially have they processing/graphics capabilities.

I've been trying to get it running by following these crappy instructions, but still no luck.

Anybody know why Vice City is still labelled "incompatible" on the Sprint HTC One? Also, has anyone gotten Vice City to run on their HTC One??

go into your build.prop and amend the following lines to look like this

ro.product.brand=

ro.product.model=

ro.product.model=

ro.product.brand=

ro.product.name=

ro.product.device=

save it, reboot

and youll see it in the market afterwards

after you download it i think you can set it back to what it was before

its all a build.prop thing.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
I would definitely use Xposed framework and call recording mod since this only ENABLES what is already built in Note II, there is no extra software running, slowing down your phone etc. And it is logical to assume it works better then 3rd party apps which weren't specifically written for SGNII.

As far as ROOT is concerned I really don't see how it can affect anything, especially what root has in common with messages being deleted etc. It must have been something else. Root has no impact on your phone's functionality, it only removes protection to system files (or better said, changes it from unavailable to available via prompt from the SU app, so there stil is some protection). There is excellend sticky by dr ketan (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696) on how to root SGNII.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superthrust:
So where can i get the xposed framwork and mod again?

And I am certain it was not the root, but i only noticed it on my s3 after i rooted. Not attributing it to the fact, but i didnt like it none the less, because i lost alot of messages and i couldnt send one or two messages wihtout rebooting every 5 seconds, and most hte time that didnt even fix it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
First read the excellent thread on rooting, triangle away. After you root (trust me it is not difficult, you just have to take your time, read it through a couple of times) here is xposed thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012770. The modules are located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189965. The one you need is either "Enable Call Recording" or "Exposed TweakBOx", they both enable call recording but TweakBox can do a few more things.

And the best thing is there are a lot of modules for other things, and once you root and install xposed, you don't have to flash them - they're installed as normal APKs.

I've been using SwiftKey Tablet on my new Asus Eee for a few days now, and recently purchased OfficeSuite Pro for my writing needs. I've noticed, however, that I get SEVERE typing lag once a document reaches about four or five pages. The default Google and Asus keyboards have no such lag, but otherwise border on unusable in 99% of cases, so I'd really rather not have to resort to using them.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a solution? Can anyone recommend another keyboard/typing app combination that wouldn't see the same issue arise?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jezrick:
I too have this issue and it pains me that no one has replied and even more so that this issue has existed at least since version 3 of SwiftKey. The devs don't really seem to care or they just haven't noticed the complaints.

It's a known issue I'm afraid. Does it do it with any other keyboard other than swiftkey? No - so you need to report it to swiftkey to ask them to fix it.

Greetings and Whats Up,

I am posting for the first time to ask for help with my SideKick 4G. The WiFi has stopped working completely. When I attempt to turn on the WiFi, the system scans and then shuts the WiFi off. A message of "Unable to Scan Networks", then displays. When I attempt to turn on the WiFi to use the phone as a portable hotspot, it also fails.

I have:

1. Soft reset and Hard reset. - Fail

2. Tried all forms of Keis, from the Keis Mini from Samsung's site (phone not registered), to the first Keis release to the current. (Will not work with your device) - Fail

3. After searching "SideKick 4G WiFi" on all 47 pages on this site and then the "Here are the similar threads", I did install and try WI-FI Lock and WIFI Manager. (now the WiFi just continually scans-off-scans-off)

Any help would be greatly greatly and even greatly appreciated.

Hey, mega thanks for responding. I forgot to write that I did try the heimdall one click and that did not work but I wanted to give it another shot. The application found my device but after rebooting the device, sadly the firmware is still 2.2.1 and FROYO.UVKj2 is still loaded.

There were a few questions about possible errors that came up. At the bottom of the window it says "Flashing Model (3 of 6)".There is a bootloaders option. When I ran the flash again I was going to try, but it said that it could cause permanent damage to the phone. I am unsure what the bootloader does but I live in the country side and without wifi calling, this phone is horrible inside of my home.

Again thanks for the information.

You would also want to flash the bootloaders, but you maybe best off flashing with hiemdall (not the one click) not at a computer so I can't easily link but just Google search for hiemdall and it will bring you to a site (something glass?) Where you will find all the downloads, then maybe watch a YouTube video on how to use (maybe not one where you use command lines as it may be confusing so search youtube hiemfall frontend)

All the needed files are in the one click.tar you downloaded, just extract them, use these files to reparation all
