[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amartier:
What issue did you have with it to need it repaired in the first place? Since the unlock code that I received from LG directly didn't work for me, I'm a little hesitant about using one of my last two unlock attempts on cellunlocker.net, a third-party service. BUT, seeing as they worked out for you, I'm somewhat hopeful.

I've added a few things to my head unit but i would like to add more sensors.

First was the external wifi antenna.

Then the extra ground from the display panel ground to the chasis.

And now im wondering how i can add basic arduino sensors.

Such things as:

Accelerometer

Gyroscope

Compas

Light intensity

Preasure

Temperature

Is it as simple as getting the sensor and adding it to the i2c bus or is there a better way?

Another thing is that I'd like to add a battery backup and connect it so that the os recognises it and gives me voltage and temperature. How could i do that ?

And lastly I'd like to change the right tune knob to a rotary knob instead of the spring loaded one. I just dont know if i could get a rotary one to replace it or if i would have to use a rotary encoder and an arduino to translate that into momentary on/off's.

Thanks

Stephen

Instead of arduino, maybe you can send UDP data to HU from another android device that have more sensors (i.e.: android smartphone): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubccapstone.sensorUDP&hl=it
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
Cool thanks.

Im subscibed to that thread.

Does the android os sensor suite also include libraries for external sensors and would it recognise a well known sensor if i simply connected it using any of the busses?

As in: could i add a light sensor and have the os recognise that its a light sensor and to use that for diming the screen like a typical smart phone or what is the process to make that happen?
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
Id like to build the sensors in to the unit once i figure out a way to integrate but ill have a look at that :)
[MTCB Hardware Development] pounce:
I guess you read the other thread.

How would the OS auto magically recognize your sensor and know what to do with it?

Do you really have a problem with dimming or are you looking at tinkering with this for fun?
[MTCB Hardware Development] popeye70:
I like Mekanix1's idea...

I would really like to see inclinometer and G meter working in Torque app.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Airwin13:
What is this good for? Is it because of noise in the speakers? Because I have a noise and maybe this is another try for me to get rid of :)
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
Just for fun. Id like to add the same sensors that would be in every smartphone. I thought that the framework would be there and all i would have to do is find a way to make it happen.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
Yeah that was another reason i was looking to do this.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
On mine there was terrible emi interference when using the front mic and making calls over bluetooth.

Turns out it was because the ground plain of the display was inducing emi into the mic and feeding it through to the bt module.

I added a ground wire from the display board's ground to the chassis ground and it reduced the noise considrerably.

The next thing i did was disconnect the mic ground and just connect that directly to the chassis ground instead of on the display board and that fixed the problem.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
For example

[MTCB Hardware Development] popeye70:
External usb sensors maybe can be easier solution than build them? http://www.yoctopuce.com/EN/products/usb-position-sensors/yocto-3d

However, i think the bigger problem is not hardware, but software: the Android OS of Huifei HU is not a "full and standard Android 4.4" so it is missing some features, like sensor reading capabilities...
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
I used an android sensor scanner on my unit and it said there was support for a variety of sensors but no input was detected.

I wonder how much one of those would cost to get and if android would recognize it.

I mean the unit does recognize different usb things I've connected.

It recognized a usb keyboard and mouse.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
Just tried with an arduino connected via usb.

I uploaded a simple serial command called ping pong.

Basically when the arduino senses a connection to something on the serial it sends the text ping, and using a basic serial terminal app I got the text. Then responded with pong and it responded back. So, There is one way of having communication with an external device to do something useful.

The next thing I tried was upload a sensor suite app. If read a pressure sensor, humidity and temperature along with a real time clock.

Once connected it fed all that information to the serial program. I could see how I could add temperature and vibration sensors to it so that I could read something useful happening in the vehicle. Then I could just add sensors to the drive-train and have a way of monitoring. lots of interesting things to mess with.

Now its just a matter of using processing to create some sort of GIU. Arduino i can play with but processing is stil la mystery to me :P
[MTCB Hardware Development] spy king:
I have been looking into this as well, but more as a future plan, as I don't have my HU yet.

Would be interested in getting direct sensor I2C support, shall start doing some digging to see how it's dune in regular phones
[MTCB Hardware Development] MatthewOgs:
Did anyone come right with integrating external sensors to these HU units. Would love to use Torques inclinometer functions with an external accelerometer
[General Topics] MustangLife03:
So my ZTE Boost Max has basically just warn out from the past 18 months of overuse and a tad of a overclock. Rooted with Custom Rom, Kernel on 4.4 KitKat. I was big into Android apps, xposed and other rooted apps. But as I basically maxed out my phone I went away from the android tech world. I have no idea about anything phone related the last 12 months.

So can you guys recommend me a phone based on these requirments. I want to stay in a budget range and honestly don't want to spend over $375 and that's max

Here are my needs....

1. Phone must be 5.6 inches or bigger, prefer a 5.7 - 6 inch phone

2. 2 GB Ram or more

3. Quad Core or more

4. 720 HD screen or higher

5. Needs to be able to work on US CDMA or GSM (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, (Boost using Sprint towers at my house just sucks so I'm staying away from Verizon)

From the petition page:

"For example, they told last year that they will start rolling out update for their Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6/edge in December 2015 but it got delayed to Jan 2016 and then to Feb 2016."

Where and when did Samsung make any official commitment around dates for updates?

It simple: they're under absolutely no obligation to provide you with any updates whatsoever. If you don't like the fact that they seem to be slow to update their phones to the latest version of Android, just STOP BUYING THEIR PHONES.

Guys, if you need updates, just don't buy samsung. Samsung proved in the past they don't care about updates much
[Galaxy S6 General] bill10:
You guys seem to be missing the point. I'm not as annoyed at some about these updates but it is a shame that we are not given these updates in a timely manner and if people who spend there hard earned money on one of if not the most expensive Android smartphone lines on the market are not satisfied, who are we to tell them not to speak up about it. Telling people to just shut up and deal with it or go find something else to me is a joke. After I'm finished here why don't I go and tell my children not to stand up for what they believe in because it's easier.

I rather get a bugfree smooth upgrade than an early buggy one (like we got with 511)
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
I wouldn't bother. Updates aren't needed to use a phone. If they're not fast enough, go to Nexus or LG or HTC.

The only problem on S6 that needed an update was RAM management, but this is a minor annoyance certainly not a deal breaker.

A petition with "Shamesung" in the title will get no where as it is immature, although a petition will get no where anyway. Samsung sell enough phones, and the majority of their users are more than happy.

@OP

It was pretty Rahul Gandhi of you to use Shamesung in the title.

You are encouraged to do your research before buying a device next time; maybe then you will be able to prioritise better between fast updates and flagship hardware.

And the update is finally out by the way; hope the update transforms your phone and life magically as you expected.

Firstly not knocking the OP here just my view having been around a long time.

These petitions do nothing i remember seeing them about in the original note forum. Nothing has changed in that respect.

Secondly i have just returned to the note from a Nexus 6, and do you know what, i am glad to be back on Samsung software. Yes i had MM late last year but thats not always the greatest position to be in. as i felt i was an actual beta tester for most of that time, with odd things happening. SO samsung come out many months afterwards but let me tell you this, The MM i installed last week is a hell of a lot more stable than what i left with on the nexus range. So yes not first to the party but however i am happier having a stable feature rich software which means i can use my phone without fear of rebooting if it means i wait.

To be honest apart from Doze there is very little difference from LP, yes minor features here or there but nothing that would get me into os jealousy at all, i just wanted a good stable daily driver and we all have that. Will we get Android N who knows and to be honest ive got to the point where stock software is actually better than good enough and no longer feel the need to have the latest and have it now

Its just my opinion that suits my needs and i understand everyone is different, hell i used to be a must have it now os kinda guy but not any more, im just happy with what i have, and thats a stable feature rich os on a cracking device that performs everything i wont of it.

Its a bit whiney and you'd get better support and a better response by being positive.

Do you get sleepless night by a fw updated being delayed a few weeks? Really?? Sorry I'm not signing this one especially with a title like this.. It needs to be a little more focused and professional. For instance, I understand most phone makers offer updates for 18 months to 2 years and even then they don't say how they will be maintained.

HOWEVER what I would like to see is firms like Samsung issuing security updates more quickly and more regularly. Also why don't they package the security update enabling it to be distributed to ALL devices without having to customise each one?? Basic build standards I'd say.

Having the latest and greatest fw is fine - but it needs to work, and due to the fact they don't issue updates too often they need to get it right - hence peoples expectations aren't met. I say peoples expectations because Samsung don't issue exact dates - the press make them up. SO where are getting your info from??

I'd further add a security update is more important to me than receiving MM. The last update before MM was received on 11/11/15! Nexus received monthly updates....leaving our devices exposed to exploits.

Your intentions are good - just needs to be a little more specific, justified and a tad more professional.

Ok, enough with this stuff. Samsung is a multi billion dollar company. They will do whatever they want to do. Whenever they want to do it. Now, now instead of signing a petition. Why not stop buying the Samsung product. Use your head.
[Galaxy Note5 General] blackhemi4x4:
I'd rather wait for a solid update then a buggy one.

There is so much red tape involved with these updates. Different models, countries, different regulations, government, etc.

Then, if they screw it up, and your personal info is compromised, this opens up a huge liability issue.

It's far more complicated then most people realize. Things happen. Hell, the whole apple/fbi thing has all the manufacturers thinking and making changes.

If you wanted rapidly released updates, you should have bought a Nexus. If you want leading edge hardware and solid reliable software, stick with Samsung.

It's not only Samsung's problem and actually Google's design problem called "Fragmentation", just google it, you will find tons of stuff.

Nevertheless, Android N most likely will solve the problem. Android N is separating the partitions of Google Core and Vendor/Carrier Customization.

The advantage will be, same day Google core software update rollout in all devices without any dependency on Vendor/Carrier customization and vice versa.

Google for more details on Android N.

Fingers crossed....

this is stupid.

ok you bought samsung. hey release a flaghip yearly and you know this. and when they do its generally accepted the newer phones get updates faster because thats what people are spending money out and the rest get them in a slower fashion. im not gonna say samsungs update model is perfect. but the normally deliver when they say or near that time. now were waiting for MM that was released 5 months ago. and they say we wont get it til april i think? so why are we complaining if the deadline hasnt passed

do us a favor and get a nexus if you simply must have updates asap

[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] hansip87:
After reading all about battery (and experience it myself), Quick Charge 2.0 still deteriorates your battery because of the resultant heat. Lithium battery will deteriorate because of heat primarily. The faster you charge, the warmer it gets. it's simple. So no wonder Qualcomm have said that the QC 3.0 is 38% more efficient, because with it, they can monitor the voltage change more gradually. Qnovo on X Performance should be more or less the same (if not better) to QC 3.0.

So my words on this matter are: Be grateful to charge with old standard charger you've been supplied by Sony. It should keep your phone battery last longer and definitely will retain the re-selling price better. Yes it might take your time, but your life is not only inside your phone ;)
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] hansip87:
It averages around 2 and a half hour from zero for full charge with standard charger. With an adaptive charger of Samsung Note4 though, it charges my z5p for exactly 2 hours. It might be faster with true QC 2.0 ones but if i charge it while I'm working/sleeping, the hour/half won't be noticeable.
