[Samsung Gear S] Archaonx:
Got little solution. After checking logs in android studio i've found that watchmanager process searching for BT devices first check if device name contains "gear" then checking Your phone for RAM if You have more >1 GB its ok, when You have less than 1GB (like my g2mini) then check is Your device is galaxy s3. So i need to change my build.prop device.model from SM-G900T to GT-I9300 and its working now, find gearS and trying to connect, but hostmanager fails (because of some samsung frameworks in my logs cant find class multisimmanager from samsung). however gearS copied my contacts, can search for my phone and can go into samsung gear apps but installing apps fail (but download works so we can install over sdb i think)
[Samsung Gear S] jongcruz:
Is anyone having issues with host manager stopping in initial set up?

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] `ByuL:
Hi, I recently joined XDA to get information about how to install or modify custom roms.

I firstly tried to search before making this thread, but I couldn't get exact information that I wanted. (Or, my searching was crap..)

I'm very new to Android (was using iPhones), so I would be very appreciated if you can help starting from basic knowledge.

Device Type - Samsung Galaxy Note II

Model Number - SGH-T889V

Android Version - 4.4.2

Baseband Version - T889VVLUDNH2

Kernal Version - 3.0.31-1736364

Build Number - KOT49H.5889VVLUDNH2

Carrier - WIND Mobile

1.

What is the most stable Custom ROM for my device?

I saw Cyanogen, MIUI, OMNI, etc.

However, I couldn't select anything since I didn't know whether they support my device or not.

2.

Can you help me to find information about installing them? (from #1 question)

3.

I saw that Note 2 can have Note 3 or 4 roms.

I want to know the difference between note 2 and note 4 roms. (like more stable, fast, compatible, etc)

4.

I saw that my device could be locked by WIND.

How can I check if it's locked without getting new SIM card?

5.

Also, I saw T889 and T889V have different modem.

If I flash T889 modem, I wouldn't go back to T889V modem, is this correct?

If so, what do I have to do prior to flashing ROM and modem?

If you need more information, I can definitely provide them, so feel free to tell me!

Thanks to whoever would help me.

HOT NEWS for who own sprint note 3, I finally cracked my sprint note 3 to use it with any gsm network without sprint even if you have a bad ESN. MOD EDIT: There can be no "donations" up front for work...though what you are asking is payment. Please refer to forum rules before posting
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ssuraj83:
That's excellent. Question for you, can you switch between carriers and also use it domestically?

Also, what's so different with yours and all other posts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sanacit:
yes, you can. others posts talk about domestic unlock after you unlock it by sprint only ;) but me no, I CAN do it without SPRINT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] villeban:
Im willing to donate, but i need proof before and after unlock. At the moment, no one has been successful doing it without sprint unlock.

It's not that I believe is not possible, but the kind of scams these days, money have to be wisely used. Again. If there is proof, you surely receive my money. BTW, with what service provider u test it after unlock? And the internet speed if any?

Thanks in advance, and don't get me wrong. I dont want to be disrespectful to you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kmcphee:
thsnks awesome however did you read the xda forum rules otd ok to donate but not charge. Since you masked as a donation only but in fact you are charging for your work. It is the responsibility of the receiver to decide if they wish to donate not the developer of the program

Therefore I am asking a moderator to step in and decide if this is actually a charge for serviced

Basically yes but you need to change band prefs and I think downgrade modem. Read that thread, he lays out the rest of the steps to get you going.

**edit**

Some of the things in his thread you dont need because GalaxyTools can do it for you like change sales_code to access apn's and open IOTHiddenMenu>TestMode Menu... etc

I think you have mistaken me for OP?

Sim unlock method/info was posted on xda in S5 forums "Help from the community sim unlock" thread a few days ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kmcphee:
Yours right. My bag
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sanacit:
well, I've tried that method but you have to be unlocked by sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] About20ninj45:
PLease do not spread incorrect information. You do not need to be unlocked by sprint as the UICC unlock method was discovered back on nov 5th that several of us we active in. The unlock method was discovered by [MENTION=623739]Dest[/MENTION] so please do not claim his hard work as your own. With that said, there is a unlock thread for all sprint variants of the galaxy phones if you search xda.

Hi Mike,

Now that you've been using the MK6000 for almost a month, do you still like it?

I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited with the stock radio with CD changer in the rear. I have an aftermarket box attached to the ISO port on the back of the radio to give me an AUX line in (purchased from Circuit CIty, I cannot remember the exact make/model). I am not sure if this is an amplified audio system, but I've heard the MK6000 has some issues if you are using an amplified system. The two front speakers in my Liberty are right on the left and right sides of the dashboard, so I'm not sure if this will cause echoes.

Right now I use use my Cingular GSM Treo 650 with the Seidio G4100M CAR KIT.

This allows me to run the Tom Tom Navigator software on my Treo for use as a GPS. All of the sound comes out of the car's speakers, or I can turn up the sound on the cradle to get the sound out of the cradle itself.

The annoying thing about the Seidio cradle is that while driving around I occasionally hear a lot of feedback from the cradle itself, even when I am not currently in a call. I suspect its something to do with interference from the phone and the built-in speaker on the Seidio cradle. I sometimes notice the same effect in my office if I have my phone charging on my desk and it is close to the speaker on my desktop phone.

The other issue I have is that a lot of people have complained that they hear an echo of themselves while I am talking to them using the handsfree microphone (which is attached to the driver's side visor).

I'm hoping that the MK6000 would solve the echo issue, and I've been assured by Parrot Tech support that audio streaming DOES work with the Treo 650 if I run a software product called Softick Audio Gateway to get the A2DP.

But before I drop $180 on the MK6000, plus anothe $50 on the ISO harness, I want to make sure this will be better than my current echoey situation.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find any reviews.

Thanks

-Brett
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] BennTech:
Mike, thanks for the great review! This is exactly the kind of review I was looking for, complete with the important Voice Command functionality (hate to spend $200 only to loose that). A couple of questions:

(1) To clarify the speaker hookup for the MK6000, with the ISO connectors, the stereo's volume does nothing and only the MK6000's dial controls volume, correct? (Assuming you're using ISO instead of line-in.)

(2) Using ISO hookups, can you listen to the radio or CD and have the the MK6000 automatically mute the car stereo when placing/receiving a call?

(3) Does the MK6000 stream ALL audio from the 8125 (e.g., Voice Command's caller ID, GPS voice directions)? Or do you need something like btaudio?

(4) Finally, I know there's a new 1.01b update available. Have you tried it and did it solve the lockup or skipping issues?

Again, thanks for the great review!

:( I have installed this parrot to me, have a trinity, and it does not do mas that to give me problems. With the wm sometimes the music is listened skippingly. I have to use another breeding player. And since(as,like) it happens to me to open the tomtom I have to forget the music since itgoes skippingly constant. Has someone some experience or suggestion to on this? Thank you

Tom Tom

Can anyone possibly please tell me how to get Tom Tom to work with the Parrott MK6000 and my QTEK 9100. I have tried Btaudio but then it doesn't intergrate with the radio - I only want it to shut the radio off when it wants to give a direction not the whole time.

Any suggestions please!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] sonica:
That is a long review. Thank you Bennett. I have to say that I never installed my MK6000 in my car and got a garage to do it instead. I think they charged me extra to put a mute box thingy (sorry forgot what it was called) in. Once I upgraded my ROM the A2DP worked fine; as soon as I press play on the MK6000 my media player kicks in and the tunes start playing. The only thing that does not work is the Tom Tom. I actually contacted Tom Tom about this and they responded as follows:

"The Navigator software automatically adopts the PDAs audio output settings. So in order for it to work with your Parrott system, first of all the PDA needs to be able to connect to 2 different bluetooth devices at the same time (The GPS receiver as well). It is then solely dependent on the PDA model whether it can transfer its audio via bluetooth to another device. You will have to consult the manual of the PDA or contact Qtek for more information on this.

In theory of you are able to connect the main audio output of the PDA itself, then it should be possible to receive the instructions using the bluetooth system in your car".

That seems to be different to what Bennett is saying but can anyone make sense of it or offer a solution?

Parrot MK6000 Review Update (Part 4)

After using the MK6000 for a few months, there's three other things I'd like to add to my review.

First, the MK6000 automatically sets the system volume when an AVRCP app starts. Note that it doesn't set the volume when the A2DP connection is established, but only after an AVRCP app (i.e., your media app) is active. Nice feature because I keep my PDA at a low volume normally, but at a high volume when playing music/audiobooks. That was one of the main reasons I liked MortPlayer, which set the system volume when it started and ended.

Second, when streaming music and I receive a call, A2DP locks up my PDA for about 1-2 minutes after the phone call ends. Not sure what's going on here, but CPU usage jumps to 100%. Seems to be moderately application specific: if Pocket Player was streaming, the PDA is completely unresponsive for the duration; if PocketMusic was streaming, it resumes playing after a few seconds despite the 100% CPU and the PDA works, albeit very slowly.

Finally, my phone has locked up several times when I receive a call while driving, whether I'm streaming music or not. This has only happened while connected to the MK6000. I'll get a call and try to answer it on both the MK6000 and directly on the phone, but my phone won't respond and just keeps ringing until the call finally goes to voicemail. I ultimately have to soft-reset the phone. It's like this comedy skit I remember (Monty Python maybe?) where a phone rings, someone picks up the phone receiver, and the phone keeps ringing and ringing despite all his attempts to answer it.

So, in continuation of the above list:

Pros (continued):

Automatically sets system volume when AVRCP app active.

Cons (continued):

Phone locks up with 100% CPU usage for 1-2 minutes after call ends if call was received while streaming.

Phone sporadically locks up on incoming calls when connected to MK6000 (whether streaming music or not), continues ringing until call goes to voicemail, and ultimately has to be reset.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] BennTech:
TomTom and A2DP

This TomTom discussion really deserves its own thread, but I'll go ahead add to it here since its basis is tied to my review.

First of all, TomTom's response is a big load of crap. Their only argument is that the phone can't connect to more than one device at a time--like we're streaming music with the MK6000 and are just too stupid to notice that the TomTom map isn't moving? Get real. The Wizard absolutely positively connects to multiple Bluetooth devices at a time. I do it all the time with my MK6000 and GPS--I stream audiobooks and Destinator simultaneously overlays its driving directions on A2DP without problem. And clearly TomTom does not "automatically adopt [to?] the PDAs audio output settings" (at least for sonica and me) since it outputs to the speakers only.

Secondly, I stand by what I stated earlier about audio streams. To play sound, an app needs to open an audio output stream. There can be multiple audio streams on a device, but one of them is set as the "preferred" audio output (i.e., default stream). If A2DP is connected, it becomes the default. If the app doesn't specify which stream it wants, it gets the default stream. I'd certainly like to have all this backed up by another programmer who has done some multimedia programming (and more specifically A2DP development) instead of relying on my brief review of the multimedia APIs, but I'm confident I'm correct.

Conduits Pocket Player appears to backup my understanding. On the Options > Advanced tab, there is a setting for Output Wave Device. If you pick "Default", it streams to A2DP if available and otherwise plays via the speakers, which follows exactly what I've said about the preferred output. If you pick "Audio output", it always plays via the PDA speakers even if A2DP is available. And if you pick "Bluetooth Advanced Audio Output", it always plays via A2DP. (Careful! If A2DP isn't available your phone will lock up so badly that it won't even power off--have to hit the reset button.) Hence, Pocket Player shows that the developer can programmatically select the output stream.

Lastly, all my other apps stream via A2DP, including Landware's Shanghai circa 2001 (long before A2DP). Shanghai can stream its sound effects and background music via A2DP, which shows that even apps that know nothing about A2DP still stream via A2DP! Once again, this follows what I've said about preferred output.

So let's put all this together. Even if I'm wrong about how audio streams work, I've shown that (1) the output stream can be set programmatically, and (2) by default, apps stream to A2DP when its available. Thus, the inevitable conclusion is that the only way TomTom could NOT stream audio via A2DP is if some dumbass programmer coded TomTom Navigator to ignore the default output and dump its audio specifically to the speakers.

BTW, I am (was) using TomTom v5.21. I see that v6 is out, but I haven't tested that version--maybe that dumbass programmer got fired and now TomTom just uses the default stream like every other app? If anyone has v6, let us know if it streams via A2DP.

And after my last post, I tried Fallen's TomTom 6.020, and it doesn't stream for me either. So I'm with sonica...what are you doing differently? Specifically:

What phone/PDA are you using?

What OS version?

What A2DP patch?

What TomTom 6 version exactly?

Are you streaming via MK6000 or some other A2DP device?

TomTom6 and A2DP

Just thought I'd mention that I have TomTom6 running on my HTC Hermes (WM6) and can stream the audio over bluetooth through my car speakers using a bluetooth to stereo adapter (actually my HTC bluetooth headphones) plugged into the front Aux port of my Sony head unit as long as A2DP is set up before you start TomTom - if not then audio comes out of phone speaker, even after you have established the A2DP connection (i.e. there appears to be no audio handoff to the newly established bluetooth stream - which is no surprise really!).

Have been thinking of getting an MK6000 instead of using the front Aux input of my stereo so that I can make and receive calls more easily. So have been very interested in peoples experiences that have been posted here !
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] Dmak100:
Hi,

These reviews rank high in google searches, they are out of date and partly misleading. This page almost stopped me from buying an MK6000! I'm glad I had some faith, has turned out to be an excellent buy.

I installed my MK6000 in my Ford Mondeo Mk3. It's wired to the 6000CD head unit with an SoT 092 cable.

I initially had pairing problems with my W910i, this was resolved with a firmware update. Since then, everything has worked very well and I'm very happy with the setup.

I thought I'd clarify a few things on here.

All the best,

car karaoke

Hey bro

Ok I can buy 2 small speakers and put them in front of my beetle, or maybe near the passenger seat

Then, I buy this product, and I also buy a Bluetooth® Headset With A2DP

Now, I don't want this to pick up phone calls or anything like that, because it's going to be paired with my headset only. I don't think I can pair a phone with this, and also a headset?

I want to sing while driving, and have 2 speakers (good quality to enhance my terrible voice hahaha) that are only for MY VOICE

So when I drive, I can sing, and my beautiful voice will come out of these speakers. The main function for these speakers and this Parrot MK6000 is to be able to drive, and sing, like a karaoke car

Yes I love technology, I even want to put TV and Wi-Fi in my car, just for the heck of it. I want to put lambo doors, I already have DVD, Kenwood in-dash 719-DVD... lots of stuff there, so I can install a bluetooth for my kenwood 719dvd and pick the phone from there, but if this device can do both things then great (I don't want to hear my voice through the speakers anyway)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] BennTech:
rafa...LOL, nice setup, and if I'm following the entire post correctly, you basically want to know if you can have multiple Bluetooth devices connected to the MK6000 at a time? I know the MK6000 can manage up to 5 pairings, but I don't think they can be connected simultaneously because the MK6000 wouldn't know which device to control when you pushed buttons like Talk or Play.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] sonica:
OK. I have had enough. I am happy to give up on the MK6000 and buy something new now if I absolutely have to. Alternatively, I am happy to purchase a completely new Sat Nav system (i.e. separate from my PDA). All I want to be able to do is walk out of my car and take my pda and sat nav with me (even if they are separate items). Then when I get back into my car, I want my phone and sat nav to use my car speakers.

Firstly, does anyone know of any Sat Nav system that is compatiable with the MK6000 i.e. so that phone, music and sat nav all use the MK6000. Obviously Tom Tom PDA version is not. Is there any other Sat Nav that I can load onto my PDA where it will work? If not is there a separate Sat Nav system I can purchase? If not is there any way (without hard wiring the three devices to my car) to achieve the same purpose?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] RRF9:
:confused:Please :(

WHICH IS THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM?

My PDA ia HTC Diamon 1 with ROM DGira VX3N and Radio is 1.15.25.14
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] BennTech:
Geez, chill out!

Geez, RRF9, chill out without the obnoxious fonts.

My problem that you quoted is an incompatibility between Parrot devices and Microsoft Windows Mobile. I have had many incompatibility problems on all versions of the Parrot firmware when used with my Wizard, Kaiser, and some other phone (Hermes maybe?). Phones were running WM5, WM6, and/or WM6.1, all in numerous flavors from stock ROMs to cooked ROMs from various chefs. I haven't tried WM6.5 yet so can't comment on that.

The fact that all these problems occur only with the Parrot and not with any of my other Bluetooth headsets, not to mention across the different hardware of several phones, points the blame squarely at Parrot. That said, don't forget to blame Microsoft, too, who made OSes so crappy that they can't handle a misbehaving Bluetooth device.

Thus, the solution is one of the following:

Soft-reset your phone every time it happens (as I stated), or

Get a new non-Parrot hands-free car kit (and be careful because many manufacturers use Parrot internally), or

Get a new non-Microsoft phone.

If none of those work for you (and granted they all suck as solutions), try posting a new thread in an appropriate forum like the Parrot forums and/or the XDA Diamond forum instead of hijacking a thread that's been dead for well over a year.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] villama8:
I agree. There is an incompatibility between Parrot car kits and Windows Mobile. However it can be fixed changing the Windows Mobile Bluetooth configuration.

I solved the problems between my HTC Diamond and the car kit Fiscon (parrot chipset CK5050) changing the AudioGateWay settings. It works well either with the official Vodafone ROM and the CIBERUS custom ROM (both Spanish).

The solution:

Add the key SniffMax=1 (DWORD) under HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway.

I am not an expert but probably this could be used to fix several compatibility problems between Parrot and Windows Mobile.

Best Regards
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] BennTech:
Hadn't found that setting yet, but alas I tried it and it didn't help my myriad of WM/Parrot problems. Seems like lost connections (like what happens after EVERY phone call with my Parrot) re-establish faster, but that could just be my imagination wanting it to work better. ;)

Last weekend I switched carriers & got a Touch Pro2. Unfortunately its Sprint and thus has only WM6.1 stock. I'll be unlocking/flashing to WM6.5 in the next few weeks to see if the new OS fixes issues with my Parrot, like the No Sound in Call that is triggered by my Parrot.
