Just to add to the above, there is a thread on here regarding decent software for the PDA.

Have a look through the thread list and you'll see it.

I would recommend Resco as a decent file manager with some excellent features. Be careful with some of these tools if you are not sure what you are doing.

Other than that, have fun.

Hi Jerry-S and everyone.

I've just got a T-Mobile MDA Vario, the Wizard version of T-Mobile.

Would you recommend me doing the same hard reset so that I can get rid of T-Mobile settings?

My Device Information shows:

ROM version: 1.6.2.4 WWE

ROM date: 11/15/05

Radio version: 01.12.10

Protocol version: 4.0.13.23

ExtROM version: 1.6.2.105

Can I update to a newer ROM and if yes where can I download it and how can I update ROM, please?

Thanks for your help.

Rgds,

PPB
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
Hi BUSPBP,

I am a relatively new user myself and won't offer advice on anything I am not sure of.

I have seen ROM updates on here for other networks but as I am on o2 and running my most recent ROM, I can't comment.

Just to be sure you understand though, the updating of a rom that isn't specifically for your unit has many risks. At the end of the day, it's up to you so just put ROM in the search page and have a look at what comes up.

As for removing the Network Provider software, I would assume that the process is the same for them all, as the extra operator features are installed from an extended ROM.

That's to say, the main OS is installed first and then the extra stuff installs afterward.

If you can replace things that you have put on your phone then give it a go, it'll either work or not.

At the end of the day, if you like the extra things and want them back, do another hard reset and let everything install as it wants.

Hope this helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BUSPBP:
Hi Jerry-S,

Thanks for your help. After reading through some threads in this forum I've decided to upgrade my Wizard with the new Qtek ROM. It now works much faster and I don't have any more problem with Wifi connection.

Can you or anybody please advise what does the ExtROM do and if I can exclude it from the device? Any good in doing this?

PPB
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
If you think of it this way, it's a little easier to understand.

When the device is new or has a hard reset, the following happens.

(If I get this wrong, I'm sure someone will let me know. LOL)

1. The device powers up and a section called the Bootloader starts.

2. As the operating system is not there, it installs it from a ROM.

3. The operating system then runs and you do the stylus calibration

and the date / time settings

4. That is the PDA set up.

5. After that, another ROM is installed, (If you let it), which contains all

the customised software for your particular phone company supplier.

All it means is that the basic Windows OS is running at the same time as the custom software and the Windows functions are accessed by the company customisations that you are presented with.

Because of this, the processor in the PDA is working in effect, twice as hard and it is slower.

As far as I am aware, there is nothing in this custom layer that can't be done directly in the Windows layer.

I would like to upgrade my ROM also as the o2 ROM is one of the oldest versions released, but as I see it, once installed, there is currently no way to downgrade back to the previous version if something goes wrong. Thats the only reason I have'nt done it.

As for removing it completely, I am not sure. I have seen posts on here reffering to that, but I think it is contained somewhere that you couldn't make use of anyway. i.e. Making use of the extra storage space that it takes up.

I know I get a bit long winded, but I have a bit of a job explaining stuff. LOL, sorry. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BUSPBP:
Hi Jerry-S,

I remember someone told that we could prevent the ExtROM from installation by soft-resetting before that process, but since I don't know yet what are included in the ExtROM and if there's any good in doing so I haven't tried it yet.

I don't know if the O2 device and network settings have anything too special that you could hardly set. In my case though I've got the T-Mobile version I am actually using Orange, so it's perhaps easier for me to come to the decision. And it's worth it for me. No problem with the upgrade, given that I've unlocked CID in advance as someone has warned. And the device is running much faster. That has even halted my intension of doing the overclock, at least for now :)

PPB
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
Comments recieved.

I must admit, I kept looking and looking at the ROM file on my computer thinking errrrrrrmmmmm...............

Well I did it, but I didn't notice any real increase in speed, actually it seemed slower to me.

That in mind I though, balls and put the o2 Rom back on.

As for the EXT ROM reatures, I think the main advantage is that the MMS and Mobile web settings are set for you, but those could be found quite easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] CCXAlex:
Hey guys, im trying to partition a microsd card (2gb, samsung), into FAT and ext4 for use with link2sd, using Minitool Partiticion Wizard.

Now, the Fat partition turns out well, but the ext4 one keeps ending up like unpartitioned space.

I tried formating into ext2, ext3, linux swap, change size, cluster size, no result. The only file sistem thats succesfuly is FAT, FAT32, NTFS.:eek:

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] appman1234:
Have u choose "primary" for the ext4 partition? Lots of tutorial available, just google it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] CCXAlex:
Yes, i chosed primary for the both partitions.

Anyway i kinnda fixed it, i chosed FAT for both partitions then i formated the second one from fat into ext4 and it seems to work for now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrazzi:
Hello to all,

I decided to write here hoping to find a solution to an issue which is making me crazy.

On a pc of a friend of mine, I try to surf internet using my Nexus 4 as hot spot wi-fi.

The pc is setted with Windows Vista.

The pc can see without any problem my N4, the wifi connection is excellent, but it is impossible to surf on internet, windows say "Local Network" (with the grey earth) or few errors like "Server DNS 8.8.8.8 not available (or somethig similar).

I try also with the Samsung of the friend of mine (a Samsung Galaxy Young) without any improvements.

I try with my iPad 4 LTE and, incredible, the internet connection has been possible.

Anyone can give me an advice to solve this crazy problem?

Thank you very much

[Nexus 7 General] idi_idi:
I have built a Nexus 7 into my car and I have a small issue.

I need a tasker profile:

When I turn the car on, the screen turns on and music plays.

When i turn the car off, the music stops and the screen turns off. (along with other stuff)

I have created a "test" version of all this so when I connect a power cable (i.e when charging) it turns the screen on and plays music.

When I disconnect the USB (i.e. stops charging) the screen goes off, music stops, bluetooth off etc and all this works fine.

However, the USB will always be connected with power coming through so I cannot use this option. I need another way to detect if the car is on and when it turns off so I can run the correct tasks.

One option i thought of is buy a wireless charger and build it into the car. When my phone is placed on the charger, send a text message to the tablet to turn it on, and when i turn the car off the charging will stop, then the phone will send a text to the tablet to turn the screen off etc.

However after purchasing the wireless charger, i realised everytime i get a call or take my phone of the charger for whatever reason, the screen will go off and music will stop, so this isnt an option either.

So the question is, what can i do so tasker can detect that the car is on or off so the nexus can perform the tasks?

Hope that makes sense
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
You do realize that you really have two problems, right? The Nexus 7 will not know when the car is started, or stopped. Unless you can disconnect the power, manually etc.. If you can do that, you can send a command in fastboot to force the N7 to power up when power is connected, otherwise you'd have to boot it up manually.

You could unplug the USB charger.. Or have the tablet turn off after N hours of inactivity, although how do you detect "new" activity if there's no change when the car is started.

If your car has bluetooth, you could detect that as the "turn off" task perhaps, but turning on is probably your bigger issue.
[Nexus 7 General] idi_idi:
Will the wireless charger idea work?
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
No idea what you mean by wireless charger (2012 model has no wireless charging), or how you'd control it with the phone. And unless your tablet is a 3g one, I don't know how you'd directly communicate with it either.
[Nexus 7 General] elpeterson:
I just put my phone back to stock so I had to uninstall Tasker, however your tablet does not pull power once the car is off correct? I had a power based one as well, I remember testing it with a surge protector. I could leave the USB connected but flip the surge protector on and off (to mimic power to the phone being halted). To my knowledge when the car is off your USB shouldn't be drawing power therefore you could run the profile off that. Export the profile and post here. I'd like to help test it.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
My last four cars (current and previous of wife and my cars) the lighter plug stays powered when the engine is off.

I think it's getting increasingly common for the plugs to stay powered. So there's no way for the tablet to know the car is off unless the car has bluetooth and you can look for that.
[Nexus 7 General] elpeterson:
I have actually found the exact opposite to me true. My wife's 2014 Pilot goes off as well as my 2012 Veloster whereas my 2001 Sable and her 2007 Passat left them on. I'm not sure if you can resolve your issue then. I'll keep looking into it. You could trigger it based on speed I think
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
I suppose that could work.. Find out the speed for several periods in a row, if it's zero, assume it's time to shut down. But that'd mean it's playing music etc during that period etc.

IMO bluetooth, or a plug he can turn off, is really the only way if his USB is powered up all of the time.

Also remember, he has no way to know when to power UP either. I still maintain that's the bigger problem, especially if it's a fixed install and he can't poke the power button ;)
[Nexus 7 General] idi_idi:
At the moment, its connected so when the car turns on, the USB is powered up and when the car turns off, the power in the USB stops. So at the moment, my tasker profile works on "when charging" do Task A, when not charging do Task B. And it all works fine at the moment.

However I am having issues with charging, (The device is not charging fast enough when turned on and the battery drains over a couple of days) so i planned to keep it always charging, so the power in the USB will always be there regardless of if the car is on or off. So i cant use the "when charging" on tasker anymore. So i needed a new way to it to figure out when i got in the car.

Here are my ideas:

1. Have a wireless charger in my car for my phone. (Not the tablet). When i get in the car, i could put my phone on the charger, have the phone send a text to the tablet to turn it on. When i remove the phone from the charger, send a text to the tablet to turn it off. Simples :)

2. Connect a wifi router in the boot or something and have it start up only when the car starts, and turn off with the car. It doesn't have to be connected to the internet, it just needs to power up. Then i can do a 'When wifi near' on tasker to see if the car is off or on, and turn the screen off accordingly.

3. Connect the tablet to my phones bluetooth. Whenever i get in the car, they will connect and the tablet will power on. when i leave the car, it will power off. (Not the best option since it will stay on even if i am near the car)

4. Similar to option 1, but have a nfc sticker in the car. when i swipe my phone on it, it communicates with the tablet and turns it on, n then off when required. but i dont want to do this since i know i am going to forget to turn it off one day.

I don't really want to do the speed option, since i want it to turn on as soon as i enter the car, not when i start driving, and i want to be able to park up and use it when i need to put an addess in the sat nav etc.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
If your charger isn't charging fast enough, you're using a crappy charger or one that isn't designed for Android. If your car has a built-in USB port, those are usually super slow, maybe 500mA, most less.

Anyway, glad to hear that your power follows the car state, that makes it all simple.
[Nexus 7 General] idi_idi:
I've tried about 20 different chargers, up to 2.5amps. The problem isnt the charger. The problem is i dont drive the car long enough to give it time to charge. So if i drive the car for about half an hour a day, for the other 23.5 hours, its on standby. so the battery is always going to go less. So thats why I plan to connect the charger directly to the battery so it will always be charging.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Oh, I thought you had the tablet turning off when the car went off. If I were you, I'd set up a profile that turns off the tablet if it hasn't had power in a few hours, pretty simple to do. On Power, set a time var, every so often check that time var to see if it exceeds your threshold, and power down if so.

If you don't have much installed, it should be a fairly quick power-up, especially the plug goes hot when you start the car.

BTW I hope you're considering cold and heat if you're leaving the tablet in the car. Leaving it in the heat all summer will will the battery.
[Nexus 7 General] eason86:
You can use Timur's kernel, it senses power to turn N7 on or deep sleep it.

Also charges N7 while using OTG.

It;s designed for car install.
[Nexus 7 General] elpeterson:
I agree, you need to get at least a 2A charger for your car. My wife would watch Netflix on long drives and my car USB port or the normal USB charger I got for the cigarette lighter worked until I up'd it to a 2A charger. I can have screen on for hours while streaming video and still fully charge the tablet in a reasonable amount of time.

When in operation it will go to a blank screen when sleep mode is activated and I can find no way of overiding it. Also the figures are now of a boulder construction meaning more light emitted, not good as a night clock.

Hello XDA community,

I have a question about my Galaxy S4, which I have been using for about half a year now. I switched over from a Nexus 4, which i bought because I love stock android and all its quirks. However, I haven't made the switch from Touchwiz on my S4 yet, because of the rSAP protocol inside the bluetooth stack, which is present in touchwiz ROMs, but unavailable in AOSP based ROMs.

I do own the Android rSAP application, which can insert a hacky implementation of rSAP into an AOSP based ROM, but I thought "Wouldn't it be possible to simply replace the BT stack of an AOSP GS4 ROM with the TW implementation?" I understand that there may be more to it, than simply swapping around some files, and the rSAP protocol may depend on several components to function correctly.

Maybe someone with some knowledge on the subject can comment on this desire of mine.

Thanks in advance for your answers!
