I have recently installed a Fusion CA-ML650BT 'Mechless' Head Unit in my 1994 model Mazda Astina. It has no moving parts, simply because it does not have a CD player. Not that it needs one, when I can plug in a USB flash drive full of MP3's, or my iPod, or connect my Galaxy i9505 to it via Bluetooth. I got it on special at an auto parts store for AU$99.00, but their regular retail price is AU$149.00.

What I want to know is, why do you want to keep the car's standard stereo? If you've got an Audi, then why haven't you got a couple of hundred dollars to get yourself a good single-DIN head unit? There is a huge range of single-DIN head units on the market, even those which slide out a large screen for you to watch movies on and also connect to a 'reversing camera' for extra safety.

These days, you don't need a CD player in your car, and I challenge anyone to prove to me why you do. Oh, and don't say, "So I can play DVD's on a 2-DIN screen!", because apps like MX Player and Neutron can stream video via BT into a head unit that accepts such streaming protocols (Alpine, Clarion, JVC and Sony already have such units in their range). The music you've got on compact disc can be converted to MP3 quite easily on a PC, and the top-ranked Android 'media player' apps play almost every standard format of audio and video.

For the latest music, you simply install into your computer a 'Youtube Downloader', then convert the music video you've grabbed to MP3 and you're off and running. Next step, buy a high-capacity Class 10 MicroSD card for your phone - eBay's the cheapest place for them - and fill it with those MP3's. Once you've got that, you 'pair' your phone with the head unit in your car, select 'BT-Audio' as the input source, set the phone's music player to 'Shuffle' and away you go. If you're listening to a song and think, "Urgh, I don't want to hear that now", you simply click the => button on your car stereo and it chooses another at random. With a i9505, you can even play music via Bluetooth while running a navigation app., and the music volume will drop while the GPS guy (or girl) says, "Turn left here!" The other great feature is, if you're driving around (with your phone connected to the stereo via BT) and get a phone call, the head unit will automatically shut off the music, answer the phone for you and you'll hear the caller's voice through your car stereo speakers.

With an increasing number of governments across the world introducing laws restricting mobile phone use whilst driving, these 'hands-free' systems are definitely a good thing, and also worth investing in to lessen the chance of the Police handing you a penalty notice. A bit of shopping around will get you a quality brand head unit at a good price. JVC, Fusion, Clarion, Kenwood, Alpine and Sony are the best manufacturers, they all have 'mechless' head units in their range and eBay is a great place to start your search.

Hope that helps you decide that a move to what is fast becoming standard equipment in vehicles everywhere is worth saving your pennies for...

8 pin mini din plug to micro usb adapter or get a OTG cable and then a usb to ipoo (sorry 8 pin mini female cord).. mice AUDI though. i use BT in my truck. i just picked up one of those BT receivers and when i need to charge i just plug in with a cord to the aux/cigarette lighter., phone sits on my lap or under my leg and io use GoneMad or PowerAmp with Viper4Android and its all smooth
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GrapeBandit:
thanks! I love my audi's lol...have 2 right now and my 5th overall...I figured out what im going to do since we cant play music through our usb let alone charge and play music through usb at the same time. I will eventually get a mechless head unit like Shotty said, they can be had for cheap. I would probably play music through BT. I dont want to use a plug in car charger through the cigarette lighter outlet, so im going to hard wire in a 4post usb outlet under my center console to come out behind the e-brake handle. it will be a 12v to 5v 2amp unit, with 4 usb ports. they are cheap and I can do the wiring myself.

question, how is the quality of the music through BT? is it a digital quality or sub-standard like hooking up to play through my 3.5mm headphone jack?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] FordNate:
In my 2009 Ranger I'm running a month old Pioneer head unit that pushes 50W x 4 to the speakers and to a Bazooka tube. the BT dongle/receiver is a class 2 receiver (i didnt realize our phones were class 4 till way later), but i notice a quality issue as compared to just running a wire. yes i still have the wire as back up but my audio profiles through V4A are just a bit different. BT seems more robust and louder with the music while the wire is ok, but the earphone plug can get dirty and sound is compromised.. the wire i seem to have to turn up the volume on the head unit just a little more (although slightly) for siiliar quality, tested without V4A installed as well as installed and with 3 players (GoneMad, PowerAmp, and Playerpro all paid versions). only problem so far i've encountered is i have to keep the dongle plugged into power all the time for it to push into my stereo, but it was $13 off ebay so i knew something might be wrong of course.

I was looking for a Pioneer unit with BT built in but nothing fit my budget at the time (Pioneer is known to fit Ford exactly with no size conflict and great sound)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] djshotty:
Good idea, for not just music but the ability to make and receive phone calls hands-free.

It's exactly the same output quality as what you'd hear through a very good set of headphones. If you use the Samsung headphones that came with your device, you will hear poor quality sound no matter what it is. BT streams exactly what is being played, without any loss of sound quality, so it then depends on what the music player does to 'enhance' the track, and also the quality of the track itself. A song ripped from a CD as a 128kbps 22100Hz stereo MP3 sounds nowhere near as good as that same song from the same CD ripped as a 24bit 96000Hz *.FLAC. PowerAMP and Neutron play *.FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files, and direct stream them in all their glory and pure clarity to the BT receiver. It's then a case of having good quality speakers to reproduce that sound. Every stereo system on the planet is only as good as the speakers they're feeding sound to. You can have a $10,000 receiver+amplifier system but listening to that system through $10 speakers is a waste.

From an auto-electrician's point of view, do that off the cigarette lighter circuit, which will give you a 15A fused loop. Simplest way to do that is to splice in a new female cigarette lighter socket - behind the center console - off the main wiring harness leading to the existing lighter. Then plug an in-car micro USB charger into that female socket, wrap electrical tape around it to insulate and secure the connection, then run the charger lead out from behind the center console near a point where you situate the phone cradle/holder.

All of this is quite simple to do, if you don't go looking for the most complex solution.

Anyone.. i want to know what firmware for my s4 mini 19190 does not contain knox bootloader? Because i try to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean.. please help me
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertdeHoop:
As far as I know, all new kitkat bootloaders contain knox. But to be sure, you can check by entering odin mode.

Turn off your device.

press volume down, home button and power up at the same time.

Then when the warning screen opens, press volume up to continue.

If you see knox warranty, you are sure to have a knox bootloader.

Press the power button for 15 seconds to reboot the device without making changes.

Bricked device

I got one of these Fire 6 devices for the missus and it will not power up past the splash screen. No mods of anything else was done to the device, still brand new. The wife used it a few times.

Amazon help pages not helpful

I'm pissed off to say the least.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] ptrsnshane:
I was disappointed when I first pulled it out of the package due to its bulkiness and wieght but it kinda grows on you after a bit. It does support otg. Root and the playstore would be a great addition.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

NVM I figured it out doing "adb reboot-bootloader". When in fastboot mode it shows a blank screen with no back-light so that's why I was confused. But still I do not know how to get into fastboot mode with a cable which is crucial for recovery

Kindle fire hd and fire hd the same thing ?

Dumb question, I have been going thru some of the threads. I sometimes see people refer to the kindle fire hd 6 and 7 and sometimes just fire hd 6 and 7.

Are these the same devices? If so it appears that root is close.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Polochamps:
AFAIK Amazon removed the Kindle branding on their 2014 tablets hence

Fire = tablets

Kindle = ereader
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] yggdrasil:
ok, no root other communit

i posted a question in the google plus community and received this response :

A dumb question, is the fire hd6 the same as kindle firee (kfsowi)?

Sorry for newbiness...﻿

No, it isn't. We provide support only for the KFSOWI model and nothing else.﻿

​

So the amazon fire hd 6 and 7 is different than kindle. Their rooting process doesn't work for fire hd

Also, the fire hdx may be a different beast.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Polochamps:
Kindle Fire/Kindle Fire HD/Kindle Fire HDX (2011 - 2013) = rootable

Fire HD/Fire HDX (2014) = not rootable atm

I think they are trying to get away from the Kindle branding. I think of kindle as a e-reader, not a tablet.

I got the Fire HD6 for my daughter... working out nicely so far. But, I just hate the Amazon skin, and I'm looking forward to being able to root it soon and load some plain ole Android OS on there. Then I'll really like the device!

Is the phone reception as good or the same as it is in sense? im thinking about switching but i've read mixed experiences on this. Also, is the sound of lesser quality than it would be on sense?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] phil.culler:
Haven't experienced any sound issues other than occasional echo but I believe that is caused by a bad connection. My signal strength shows lower than before but I haven't found it to be an issue. Don't know if it's actually lower or being shown as less bars.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] bodooo:
Is there a specific radio for the gpe, because I don't get as strong as a signal from sense,

There is a radio in the gpe ruu. I flashed a T-Mobile radio from the latest update and haven't noticed much difference.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kiladubz:
Yeah i second that, flashed latest T-Mobile radios 1.12 and 1.16 on GPE through TWRP; noticed 0 difference, back on complete stock GPE.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] spinninbsod:
I second that my dBm is good but my asu isn't very good
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cdfosburg:
Just to throw my 2 cents in, Sense is not as bad as sum, i.e. TouchWiz. I would give it a shot before jumping ship.

At worst case, if you want a GPE, you can S-Off, root etc and then load the rom for that.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] syntropic:
Although I would have had to pay full price for a "real" GPE, next to getting the newest pure android software updates, the coolest thing about it is the matte aluminum finish which is more similar to the HTC One m7...And personally I like it a lot more than the drab "gunmetal"

Also...for those of you who have flashed a gpe ruu, do you have root? Can you run xposed modules (if you aren't using ART instead of Dalvik anyway)?

I think someone above asked about theming on the gpe... I think I would wonder about that to. I am sure the Google Now launcher is swell...But I would want the ability to use whatever launcher i want (except obviously a Sense version).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlueRaja:
Hi All,

I just pulled the trigger on a M8 this morning and have been reading up how to root, s-off etc.

I intend, pretty much right off the bat, to flip over to the GPE. My reasoning for this is that its what i've ended up running on whatever phone i've had ever since i got my HTC desire way back.

But - just in case - i'd like to take a nandroid of the sense ROM and store in on my PC should i ever wish to go back - because - tinkering :D

My intention is to first root and install TWRP on the phone then backup before moving the backup to my PC.

At this point i'll S-OFF, full wipe, then convert to the GPE edition.

Now here is where things get a little muddy for me. My understanding according to the reversion thread here is that I can then flip between GPE and Sense via backup should i wish.

To quote that thread - "This does not apply if you have installed a GPE ROM. You can flash as normal through recovery. (using instructions of new rom)"

First off - is that correct? If so when do the partitions get resized to the point that you need to follow the instructions in that thread?

Is it when installing a non GPE AOSP ROM like Cyanogenmod etc - that doesn't feel correct to me?

I guess what im asking is - during what process do the partitions get resized to the point that I'd need to follow the instructions in the reversion thread linked above? :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Hello Raja,

I would use SunShine to S-Off. Even if it cost 25$, it will unlock the bootloader during the process aswell. This way HTC won't know that you ever unlocked if it should come to warranty issues. On the other Hand the preload folder will be wiped by the HTCDev unlock process and thus you won't have the stock calculator as well as the stock flashlight installed, after doing the unlock with HTCDev.

After this you could

first: rund the "fastboot getvar all" command

second: download stock firmware for the show version-main in the output given by the above mentioned command

third: install the knewest TWRP 2.8.0.1 and perform a backup of the Sense ROM.

fourth: follow the RUU GPE conversion thread to perform a full GPE conversion (including Firmware!!)

fifth: follow this thread to get back to Sense
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
On point 3, does TWRP make backup of stock recovery now? I haven't used TWRP for a while now, it won't boot for me and I'm not going to flash it just to check that...

If it doesn't make a backup of stock recovery it would probably be better for him to rather BOOT Philz and make backup of device including stock recovery BEFORE he flashes a custom recovery. That is of course assuming that he has a version which isn't available in the collection thread.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlueRaja:
Hi,

Im not bothered about HTC warranty as the phone i'm buying is a refurbished one from eBay so the warranty is long gone other than the one given by the seller (who has around 1.7M feedbacks (yes that's million)).

Regarding your method above - whilst helpful, it doesn't answer the question i posed in my post which actually links to the thread given above - when does the partition sizes change so that i have to follow that thread to return to sense? As that thread seems to suggest that I DON'T need to do it if i convert to GPE, see the quote posted above.

Also, why do i need to download the firmware for the version shown in the version-main output if i backup in step 3? Just so i have a copy?

Thanks for your help though. :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
The newest version doesn't make a backup of stock recovery. Thus I wrote him to download the full firmware for his devise, as the stock recovery is integrated in that ;)

The partition sizes are changed during the ruu installation,in my first link thus you would have to change time back to go back to Sense. This is explained in my second link, as no Sense based ROMs can be installed after the ruu process.

The backup done by TWRP is just the ROM (OS) backup. But the firmware, such as hboot, recovery, radio and so on are not included, which is why you should run this command first and download the stock HTC firmware first. Following this way, you got a full backup of all needed files to revert back to Sense.

Folks,

I am desperate and I need help - I have had a Cingular 8525 for about a month now. Everything was going fine till Christmas day -

exactly a day after my 30 day return period :-(.

The issue is that every time I turn on Wifi, my device finds countless connections (I live in an apartment complex filled with

young professionals). From here, I go nowhere but downhill. If the phone goes to sleep while the WIFI is turned on, it does not wake up

at all. I do the only one thing that remains to be done and that is reset the phone. This time the device boots up however

the WiFi is still turned on and the phone shows a big exclamation where the bars are supposed to be. Then I get an

error "The Operation failed". Even a clear storage does not solve the issue. If I keep the phone turned off for about a day

and go to a location where there are no Wifi networks, everything is fine again.

I got Cingular to send me a Warranty Exchange device and Lo and Behold, I have the same problems with the second phone

too. I spoke with data device support and they asked me to go to a Cingular store where the device works fine as there are

no WiFi networks there.

I cannot return, cannot use my phone to the fullest extent and am in despair. Can someone tell me if there is any miracle that

I can utilize at this time. Please help !!!

p.s. - I have never installed any third party apps on the phones.

Cannot take time to answer this right now but, the answers are alraedy posted on this board.
