[Android Head-Units] mcskeezy:
Unit Received

The unit came in the mail today. I've only had time to unbox it, hook it up to a spare 12V adapter I had lying around and test it out.

The touchscreen is miles beyond the previous model I ordered. It is easily on par with any generic tablet/phone. I've included some photos. The unit backplate does have two female USB ports (on cable extenders). One is labeled "USB" while the other is labeled "3G/WIFI". I'm looking forward to getting more acquainted with this thing once I have some free time.

I accidentally deleted the stock button mappings and then did a factory reset.The normal bluetooth settings are not visible as of yet. Once I've got it rooted I'll be trying to run gauges through Torque pro using either a bluetooth or a wired ELM257 OBDII adapter. I'm leaning more towards the wired version as those bluetooth adapters draw a fair bit of power while the car is off. I've attached some photos.

If anybody had a screenshot of the default button maps on this thing I"d appreciate it.

Unit works with USB OBDII ELM357 Adapter

So I went ahead and tried the most obvious thing:

1. Installed Torque Pro from the Play store.

2. Plugged in my OBDII adapter to the back USB port on the unit.

3. Set the max baud rate in torque.

4. Voila, unit recognizes the adapter w/o any problems. Shows RMPs, boost, coolant temp, etc.

Attached are a few more pictures... I'll post a link the the OBDII adapter I used. I would highly recommend this method over using a Bluetooth OBDII adapter, much less hassle.

Unfortunately, I had planned on using Subsonic Music streamer to stream my music from my desktop (over wifi tethering to my phone), but it says in the app store that the App is not supported on this device. Not sure why...
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Are you able to confirm if the hardware is the same as the 4.1 unit in the thread I linked to? If so, I would advise posting in there from this point forward to keep everything in one place. No need for a separate thread just because the face is different :)

One way to tell would be to compare the output of the System Info app, instructions below. In fact, the part about a picture of the homescreen would also be relevant if possible.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
This is the same thing with a lot of Chinese headunits. The issue is that the device's fingerprint is not officially supported by Google Play. So, there will be various filters, like Copy Protection, that prevent you to install or even list certain programs from Google Play directly. The easiest way around this is to use another Android Phone or Tablet and to download and install the APK to it then copy it over manually to the head unit to install it. You can use a program like ES File Explorer to click on the APK's icon to initiate the install.

Otherwise, if you do not have another Android device then you'll need to use a combination of Market Helper and AppBrain in order to find and install apps from Google Play. It is sort of a hack but it works.

Can you use Torque Pro via OBDII to USB Headunit without ever connecting a smartphone?

Or is the use of Torque Pro smartphone dependent?

unit arrived

I received my unit today, and i am sure my unit is the same on that mcskeezy is having, as the picture and description are similar. Indeed 2 USB female at the rear, one saying USB, the other WIFI/3G. I am wondering how you power up the unit at home, i wanted to try in out at home but i don't have a computer PSU lying around, would it be safe to use a AC/DC adapter to power the head unit up? Let me also upload some pics
[Android Head-Units] tarzansg:
same system info?

if i could power this toy up, i will confirm the system info right away, and would be able to bring this unit discussion to your another tread, just need to confirm its a same system but different face unit, i can see the rear of the unit is also another different with an additional USB female.

Still searching on good way to power this unit up without the PSU or battery method.
[Android Head-Units] E350:
tarzansg: I don't want you to feel any pressure, but me and some of closest friends are hanging on your no holds barred frank assessment of this unit with torque pro. We will be watching for your posts. Good Luck!
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
If the hardware is the same (which I am fairly certain it is), then the other thread I mentioned contains details of a USB OBDII adapter than works with Torque on this unit, amongst a lot of other valuable information too.

E350 - how can i be pressure by the torque pro stuff, this project is initiated by our fellow member who started this tread. it only caught my attention because the model of this unit it the one that i am setting my eye on to buy, and i have already bought and landed today. So i believe you mean that you are waiting patiently for his post on his assessment of this unit.

my main pressure now is to figure out how to power up this toy outside of my car.

I have been doing alot of research but cannot seem to come up with anything. I have a i-337. 4.2.2 mf3 firmware. I have seen the safestrap recovery but did not want to use safestrap. Is there any other custom recovery that I can use to flash a custom rom? Thanks for the help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] karate104:
No Odin tar for 4.3 yet, but search through the 4.3 thread in the General forum and you'll find links and instructions buried in there on sideloading 4.3 via ADB, (if you don't simply want to wait for the OTA). Note that you must have a pretty clean stock phone to get it to work. If you want root, I would suggest rooting MF3 first, then enabling survival mode in SuperSU Pro, as that's the safest way to get root on 4.3. One more thing: no custom ROMs, recovery, anything is available on 4.3, just root.

I haven't tried this software but you could install it and block port 80 (port for web access)

Some details would be REALLY appreciated, thx :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willjohnson:
I have not tried this method yet, i will try tomorrow when i have time. I take no credit for any threads linked in this process. I am simply laying out the process i will be trying out for any others that would like to try. I like to start with a clean slate for a major system update like this so this method will wipe data and start you out with a fresh. You WILL have to reroot and reinstall Safestrap.

I take no responsibility for this messing up your phone if you try it, again, this is my OPINION only and the method i will try.

Backup your data thats important on the phones internal memory to the MicroSD or PC and then -

1. Boot into factory recovery by turning phone off, then booting up by holding the Power, Home, and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until you see "Recovery Booting" in blue on the top left corner of the screen. Then release the buttons.

2. Once stock recovery has booted, wipe data and cache from here. I usually just pull the battery after this since its the easiest way to power the device off after a wipe in factory recovery.

3. Boot the device up by holding Power, Home, and Volume Down simultaneously until the phone prompts you too press either Volume Up for Download mode, or Volume Down for reboot. Press Volume Up to go into Download Mode(Odin Mode).

4. Once the phone goes into Download Mode(Odin Mode) go to this link and follow this process to flash back to Factory MJ7. This will wipe your internal memory, which is why i suggested backing anything on it up FIRST.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483380

5. After the flash in Odin is complete and you have booted into MJ7 take the OTA through the normal means in About Phone.

6. Once the update has completed use Kingo to root just like before (remember sometimes it just takes a few times to work right, if it fails try it a few times before you get discouraged) when you rooted MJ7. It is reported by a users to have worked in this thread.

as far as help if you are currently rooted safestrapped and running a custom rom, you should visit the return to stock/ recover from soft brick thread and that will get you back to stock verizon firmware, then buy supersu pro, enable root survival, then take the ota an renable supersu. If root does not get preserved kingo root works with mje too. Sorry for the late reply:)

I'm very happy with the battery life I currently get with the Note 3. Surely I can improve even more so?

I keep GPS and location services on. All the Samsung sensors, gestures, ECT... are disabled. It's ROOTED,and I used Root Explorer to delete .APKs (Sprint and Samsung software.) - I did this many times until I released I deleted important ones, so I had to flash stock rom and re-do about 3 times. Lol.)

Bluetooth, and NFC are off. Screen brightness is set manually to 70% (Give or take)

I get 1D 14hrs or so total on time, with about 4:45 or so of screen on time.

Since I have Sprint, LTE is non existent (It's some sort of pastry, if I remember correctly? Any ways.. we don't get this..."LTE" thing...)

I keep WiFi on 24/7.. my 2G signal is fairly bad (2-3 bars. And given this is a Samsung phone, it's antennas aren't good..) so I usually keep it roaming on.

With the provided info.... any thing I can do to improve my battery life? (Not complaining! I'm very happy!)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ycats:
Don't use Live Wallpapers.

Only time I have WiFi turned on is at the house. Once I leave for work, I turn WiFi off so that it's not searching for networks.

Turning off Google Locations is a battery saver.......but I'm like you, would rather keep it turned on for GPS, etc.

I have all of the "connect and share" options turned off.

Air gesture and Air view are turned off, Palm motion turned off.

I leave Voice control, Air command and Motions turned on, but could be turned off.

Hello friends, this day I share a tutorial on how to optimize the internal memory of our young and other android phone with that said let's start.

WE NEED:

-ROOT EXPLORER (ANY VERSION)

-A PARTITION ON SD CARD MINIMUM OF 500 MB

-LINK2SD

(I do not take responsibility for damaged memories, telephones etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

( Before recalls have already made your partition)

-OPEN LINK2SD AND MOUNT THE PARTITION SELECT THE SD EXT3

-REBOOT YOUR PHONE

-WHEN YOUR PHONE ARE BOOTED AGAIN GO TO LINK2SD

-GO TO SETTINGS

And untick the 2 next options:

"relink lib files at boot"

"relink dex files at boot".

-NOW GO TO INSTALL LOCATION (IN SAME LINK2SD)

-AND SELECT EXTERNAL

when we have done all this and we're done with Link2SD

-AFTER THAT GO TO ROOT EXPLORER

- ROOT EXPLORER WILL AUTOMATICALLY IN THE ROOT OF PHONE (IF NOT YOU NEED GO TO THE ROOT MANUALLY)

-NOW IN THE SAME ROOT GO TO THE FOLDER CALLED "DATA"

-NOW GO TO THE FOLDER CALLED SDEXT2

-IF YOU HAVE ANY FOLDER, APP OR FILE IN THIS FOLDER DELETE ALL

-IF NOT NOT XD

-NOW PRESS BACK BUTTON TO RETURN TO THE FOLDER DATA

-NOW COPY NOT MOVE COPY THE APP, APP PRIVATE & DALVIK CACHE FOLDERS TO THE SAME FOLDER (SDEXT2)

-WAIT

- WHEN EVERYTHING HAS BEEN COPIED

-MAKES A PROLONGED PRESSURE IN THE APP FOLDER

- SEVERAL OPTIONS APPEAR BUT YOU NEED SELECT THE LINK TO THIS FOLDER OPTION

-PRESS BACK BUTTON AND SELECT CREATE LINK

-MAKE THE SAME WITH APP PRIVATE & DALVIK CACHE FOLDER

- WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED RESTART THE PHONE AND READY!

:Dsorry for my english
