[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
1) Depends on what phone you are using. Are you using the old mytouch, i.e. without the 3.5mm headset jack? If you are, you don't need the goldcard method probably. Yes you may put the files there for rooting, like the recovery image file.

2) Not sure since I don't need to activate my phone.. do you mean signing into google accounts? I do that over wifi, but if it's like actual activating your phone, I guess you don't need to since I haven't done that.

3) Depends on custom ROMs but yes you can.

4) Yes

5) Yes, but I recommend not to unless you need tons of space since having apps installed on mytouch's internal memory is faster and mytouch has a fair amount of internal space unlike G1

6) I recommend superD or cyanogen. Probably two of the most stable ROMs out there mixed with speed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] _ice_:
how did you do that over wifi? did you use a hack or something? because in order to activate a mytouch or g1, or any smartphone from tmobile, 3g plan is required. When I bought mine it was already activated so all I did was a sim swap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bunu:
most roms will let you skip the google log in option. I would stick with cyanogen or super d also.

It would help if you put the phone you have thought.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] _ice_:
lol I did. but I have a mytouch 32b obviously a non 3.5 mm

I have looked and read and Googled the interweb for several days now, I am in search for an app similar to MS Voice Commander, which is for WM devices? I loved the app immensely on my tytan/touch pro etc and was trying to find anything remotely close to it for Android. Any help is appreciated. At bare bones minimum I would like to find some way somehow to pipe all audio through a mono Bluetooth, which this did on my WM devices.

I do not know if it is possible to do so on current Android builds, but I never assume anything to be impossible when it comes to this site.
[Android Software Development] liljom:
same thing

I found a few solutions, but non of them worked for me. You should try to call ** (dial ** and than call). Maybe it'll work for you.

There's an app too, called Sound route switcher http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.omercade.headsetProjectII

It couldn't help either.

I hope somebody can help us.
[Android Software Development] G_Technik:
Same problem

At WM6 there is a registry tweak to transfer a ringtone to the bluetooth headset. It's very usefull when you don't want to take a look at the screen everytime you want to know who is calling.

Is there any way to do it at Android?

Help us, please.
[Android Software Development] jimbobcooterrooter:
Ill give the app a shot, although im sure its a long shot at that. I find it amazing that the demand is not higher for this.

I am really surprised we haven't found a solution for this. I would be willing to pay a good chunk of cash to make this happen.
[Android Software Development] jimbobcooterrooter:
You and i both! I was finally able to get my Blueant Q1 to update to firmware 2.1 (not the android OS) so now i can do a2dp with it. However i would pay for the ability to hear ALL sounds through the headset of my choice. I know my Jawbone Icon is supposably slated for a2dp firware upgrade in the future, but neither one of these are my headset of choice - and its ever changing.

*update* Icon has been updated to a2dp firmware!! Im getting closer, now if i could getting piping on any headset.

[Android Software Development] radiotecha1234:
Here is the solution I use.

Super BT mono. It is in the app Market. It is $3. Money well spent in my opinion. It has a widget you can toggle that sends all played audio to BT Mono headset. I am using an LG 235 and it works great. The audio quality leaves a lot to be desired but I am only listening to podcasts while at work. This $3 app and cheap $15 mono bt headset sure beats the crap out of a $50 set of stereo a2dp headset for casual listening. Here is link to where I found my solution.

I have a jabra halo stereo headset. I can listen to music just fine. However, ringtones don't get routed properly to the headset - instead its the default jabra ringer. As a result, I have to look at my phone to see who is calling.

Is there any solution to getting ringtones to play on the headset?

bump bump for bluetooth
[Android Software Development] OldMike60:
Works for me

SuperMonoBT Froyo works great on my HTC Inspire / ATT / Plantronics Voyager Pro. A bit of static from time to time, but otherwise fine. It automatically switches back to speakers if you turn off the BT. Menu includes an item to automatically pipe to the heatset if it is connected, which it did when launching Google Maps Navigation.

is there an app that would allow me to use the TP2 gps signal on my laptop, so i can use a google maps or some sort of map program...???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] camell0ndosequis:
Interesting question ...

I know google maps on the TP2 works pretty nicely with the GPS .. but connecting it to a laptop and using 3rd party mapping software is something I will look into. I have some topo sw i will install on my laptop and see what I can figure out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kierandill:
Google maps on the PC is a website, not an app, and does not know about GPS.

Google Earth does do GPS, but isn't suitable for navigating, really.

There is more than one solution, with some effort. GPS2Blue I could never get to work on Bluetooth, but have succeeded on a USB cable.

tips on how to get it working properly over usb connection or bt if someone has found a way?

EDIT.....Ok. I have it working over bluetooth. i set the GPS port to COM 0: as it is in GPS settings for program access. i have set the bluetooth port to COM 1: on my laptop i have selected COM 5: as viewing my settings for the device shows Serial port was COM 5: just be sure to check the services for your device on the computer under bluetooth settings to find the correct port. i havent tried it with any programs yet but data is showing 9 Sats found in Visual GPS. Good luck to you who are as broke/cheap as me :)
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
I'm sure it won't work...but seriously...Imagine the attractive child that Google and Palm would have if they merge their OSes....

One can dream.
[Nexus One General] fahim_k:
They are probably considering it, but it will probably create a lot of conflicts and involve working more on merging the two OS rather than further developing Android.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Palm's market cap is pocket change for Google. They should buy the company....not primarily for their technology, but more so for their patents, which will come in handy against Apple.

[Nexus One General] galaxys:

[Nexus One General] trevorwhopkins:
Both OS are linux based, but honestly I doubt google murders their child here lol.

I could see a talent acquisition, like google does with startups like the company that designed the new Gallery App. Put them to work on the framework and UI and all that. I, and other posters I've noticed, would LOVE to JUST take the card swiping thing from WebOS.

The patents are possible. But I've seen HTC mentioned as a suitable buyer too. They have even expressed interest.
[General Questions and Answers] Jammo:
Hello, i heard about a program that works as usb modem to connect a laptop an use EVDO on the phone as it would just navigate the net on the phone, but it's the laptop, just to do not really use the modem fuction witch is really expensive. I know it exist for Blackberries, but i am searching for my Touch Pro. Thanx in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] su8044:
Hope it's this

It's called "WMWifiRouter", extracto from their page:

"WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for! "

google it, i really recomend it. you can use your 3g net, or the edge or gprs or any data conection your service provider gives you... or even the wifi conection if you laptop or pc doesn't have a modem.... just run the software and connect it to the pc, i'll be detected as a modem with internet conection...

hope this helped
[General Questions and Answers] Jammo:
Thanx!

I used to tried WMWIFIrouter beta a couple of years ago. I will give it a try. Is this app connects a laptop and use data as if WM was browsing the web, or as a modem?

I know a lot of people love wikipedia, but to be totally honest I see no reason to take up 3 gigs of space for it. I have a ton of those encarta type encyclopedias that used to come on CD-Roms 10 years ago. Is there any way to convert one of those to be used on a PPC? They all had a ton of pics and some videos and I think only took up about 650 megs, which would be a lot better usage of space, in my opinion. Any thoughts on this or does anybody know of a way to do this?

When creating a gold card, can it be used for another mytouch 3g?

How do I get the set of code from the terminal? Can this be done by a windows program?

LOL.

Got some time last night I got a gold card created and even replace the perfect spl on the mytouch 3g

Details Below

Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-ON H

HBoot 1.33.0009

Radio however is 3.22.20.17 (a surprised, I thought it should have been a 2 series. Can this radio be used and can it impact future flashing?)

Now, the next step will be to actually root the phones. I have encountered a few issues,

ie wrong ebi when using the linda file manager way to flash.

ie could not find file when using the fastboot way.....

I will read more, but I always welcome tips to make my life easier! :)

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SL:
LOL. still the old mytouch! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jOrOdee:
out of date

gold card is sooo 2001 bro... :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SL:
LOL. I have to start somewhere. And the only way to learn is read, do and get advice from people in the know. I have been using HTC since the blue angel days and have build a few roms for my own use using someone else kitchen. And I also have brick a few phones in my days.

But I have no knowledge of linux or android phones, but I am willing to learn.

In Wimo, there seem to be a set ways of doing things. In Android, people are still discovering ways to do the same things........so this old way is still new to me....and it still seem to work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
You're on the good path.

I highly recommend flashing back a 32B radio (that thing that you flashed via goldcard flashed a 32A radio (3. series, you need the 2. series)) and then you will be able to use all ROMs from the G1 section.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Remobero:
imo .. don't use goldcard unless it's the only option to use .. cuz it sometimes tricky and complicated and here you are. flashed the wrong radio

undo that asap and root using flashrec.apk if your stock rom is cupcake (which probably is)

then u can change ur spl and radio even later
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SL:
LOL. It is all good now.

I got everything going and my last step it to find a 32B rom..any recommendations?

Do I change it to update and flash it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 20_Eyes:
oh yeah, go to the g1 development section and download the superD 1.10.3 rom. 10mb hack for speed, non 10mb hack for gaming. all instructions in the first few posts. its simple once you've flashed a rom before. im always learning here, but i barely post. good luck and enjoy!

Anyone else experiencing this? I'm hooking my hero up directly to the AUX Input. My mp3 player is fine, but the hero whines so much its unbearable. What's up with this?
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
So your alternator is humming or your hero? *jk

Could be a a frequency output of the radio. It could really be anything, there are so many electrical circuits close by to know from here. Does it whine if you put it into normal speakers?
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Sounds like the 2 are getting along
[Hero CDMA General] bubbacs1:
When I hook mine into the AUX, I don't get any whine.........but then the electric motors normally don't create a whine effect. :cool:

[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
is your hero charging off the cigarette lighter?

if so, you are likely hearing noise induced from your car's electrical (charging) system.

You can:

1. try and replace the alternator with a newer one that is designed to isolate or reduce induced electrical noise. (this seems impractical and cost inefficient)

or

2. try and prevent any oscillations from getting to your phone by using a ferrite ring on your charging cord. (most practical option)

3. try an aux cable with better shielding
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Only a whiny, butt hole-clinched effect..

:D
[Hero CDMA General] 702DROID:

[Hero CDMA General] danknee:

I also had a cheap charger that did this. I returned it and bought a Belkin Ipod charger that was simply a 12-volt usb port with an Ipod USB cable (threw the cable away). I use the stock HTC USB cable and there is zero feedback now.

An added bonus is that I can charge anything with a USB port now in my car.
[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
I too, use an iPod charger with a usb cable. I get tons of alternator whine too. I just like to pretend that it's a turbo.

But really, I'm going to try a ferrite sometime
[Hero CDMA General] swears11:
Actually, using a charger doesn't affect it. The alternator whine is still present in both scenarios.

How much would the length/shielding of the cables be responsible for this?

I've also done some research and come across a possible "Big 3 Upgrade" solution. Involving upgrading the 3 most important grounding wires in the car.

"Definition: the "Big Three" upgrade means improving the current capacity of three cables: 1) alternator positive to battery positive, 2) battery negative to chassis, and 3) engine ground to chassis."
[Hero CDMA General] BonkyMoon:
My old car used to do this. I replaced my stereo with a decent aftermarket one and the whining stopped. When I say decent I'm not talking like $500 Alpine or whatever, I just went to walmart and picked up a Sony that had an AUX input for like $100.

Since your stereo already has an AUX input it's probably already higher quality than the old stereo in my old car, but still, if you were looking for an excuse to get a new stereo this could be it. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] Nanan00:
I would suggest checking engine and body grounds to make sure they have not corroded away, most automotive manufacture's recommend replacing all grounding lines every 80-100k miles and more often in "salty air" regions. Grounds go bad first but the hot lines will also decay, more so in modern cars as the wires are subjected to more flex with the softer engine mounts used these days.

If your grounds look good and it still whines I would suggest hitting up Autozone or whatever local car shop you have and have them do a diagnostic run on the alt.

Once these two are eliminated or fixed and the whine still persists, well either you have a bad connection leading up to your 12v aux plug or line in jack, or your hardware has faulty buffer cap/resistors and is bleeding static into your devise.

I have built 5 Carputers, installed dozens of entertainment systems, done 3 ground-up rewires on cars, and fabricated completely custom wire harness for stand alone ECM system, the items I suggest are based on years of experience and frustration.

I have a 07 VW GTI with an Aux input built into the car so I use a m/m 3.5m audio jack patch cable and it so happens that the power cable for my Garmin GPS is the same connector so it gets used for the phone when it is needed.
[Hero CDMA General] willy900wonka:
Go to RS put a cap between + and - , or get some stuff for interference for CB's (both have frequency filters for sound).

I feed my charger through the primary of a transformer, and take the secondary to ground. So all the non dc goes to ground.

I had that problem using an cheap FM transmitter plugged into my Hero and the lighter. The way I fixed it was to just turn down the volume on my Hero and turning up the radio volume. Just try it to see if it works for you, too.

[Hero CDMA General] jeremylobaugh:
Doesn't sound like a ferrite loop is going to do any good. I, like many others have said, would go with the ground isolator from RadioShack. I had alternator whine coming through my USA spec adapter that my iPod and Hero fed into. Nothing else in the car had the whine in it, stock deck on FM or CD, Motorola BT car-kit, Yeasu FT-7800, or my crappy Sony GPS. I ripped open the cable and added a filter that i built, Problem solved. Two days later the box died of unrelated causes. I wend out and bought and Alpine media reciever, the whine isn't there anymore, well from the alternator, I can't say my wife was thrilled with the purchase.

And I am am both an EE and a Ham Radio operator - KB3BAM
[Hero CDMA General] mlarma:
Have the same issue and found this to be the cure:

http://n4maa.us/alternator.htm

The post explains why there is a problem and how this fixes it. You can get these parts at radio shack and a hardware store.

I've beat my head against the wall trying to find a solution as I wanted someone to just make a device with a male cigarette lighter plug on one end, a female on the other and a filter in between.

Also, don't filter the audio line! That reduces sound quality a LOT as most go through a 1:1 transformer that will cause a loss of musical clarity. This addresses the source of the issue - dirty power coming into your device.

Cheers!
