I'm not sure if this info will be of any use, but there is a chineese tablet most well known as Wits A81E, which is based on TI OMAP3530 SoC and has working Bluetooth module.

Very exciting work here, getting BT working would be HUGE.
[Nook Color Android Development] EhudBenjamin:
If they are that close together the Witstech also has a built in gps option.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalkor:
AFAIK, both A81E and Nook use wl1271 wireless connection chip, so there might be something useful in a81e FW files(I wish I knew more about linux and android to confirm it myself).

USB BT Dongle?

Has anyone attempted to attach a USB BT dongle to the end of the nook USB cable (implied with a gender changer or some other jury rigged way)??? Would Froyo recognize one in a plug/play manner? Not sure if this is silly or not as I'm new to Android OS.
[Nook Color Android Development] The Chris:
NC already has BT chip in it. There is some success getting it to work. Why would you hang your dongle off the nook?
[Nook Color Android Development] philburkhardt:
That won't work. The nook isn't USB Host enabled.

[Nexus S Accessories] yanivgal123:
I saw that the Nexus S charger output : 5v - 700mA.

The question is if there will be any damage to the battery/device if'll use different charger : 5v - 1200mA?
[Nexus S Accessories] pkx:
No.

It's good to remember that the power source will "push" voltage to a device (so more volts can kill something) but current (milliamps) is "drawn" by the device... so even if the charger was capable of many amps, the phone would only draw as much current as the charging circuits were designed to draw.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
i'm using my all same chargerss from my SGS

they work fine, not overheating

the car charger is 2A
[Nexus S Accessories] n61adm:
I am using my N900 charger with my NS... I believe it is 1200mA... no issues so far.
[Nexus S Accessories] irishrally:
Any idea why the NS charger has a lower current rating? My buddy tried charging his Droid 2 with my NS charger and it didn't work. Maybe this is why the phone takes so long to charge. Does charging slowly protect battery health? Maybe there were thermal issues charging the phone more quickly?
[Nexus S Accessories] btdonovan:
Surprised the Droid 2 wouldn't charge. Will the Droid 2 not charge on USB power? Max USB current is only 500 mA.
[Nexus S Accessories] MikhailCompo:
The USB standard stipulates 5v 1amp (1000 milli amp) I thought.

Anything with a higher output is above the standard and typically indicates the device is newer cos it needs more juice.
[Nexus S Accessories] mingkee:
I have zero problem using ANY charging method as long as it supplies 5 volts.

Usually I use a centralized charger modified from USB hub with power supply to charge the phone and other devices.
[Nexus S Accessories] mzalan:
Does that mean the Nexus S has no resistance checking like the iPhone? I can use any homebrew charger if I want to?
[Nexus S Accessories] mbolinao:
Hi, I just bought a Capdase car dock with two usb ports for charging: the first port says "1A only" and the other one "1A and 2A".

My unit is a Nexus S, which port should I plug it to?
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
I've noticed that my battery life seems to have deteriorated recently and I've been wondering if it was the chargers I use. We have micro usb chargers in the house for nexus s, blackberry, htc, and galaxy s, and I use whatever one I pick up. Also have a car charger.

Could I have damaged the battery.

It's not the rom that's eating power as battery is bad no matter what rom I flash.
[Nexus S Accessories] mbolinao:
do this complete drain/charge cycle:

try to completely drain your battery and then charge it until full while its switched OFF. Use the phone normally until its next complete discharge (empty bat), and then charge it again one more time upto 100% while its switched OFF.

i also read somewhere that if you're using the phone while charging (like playing games or browsing), it's confusing the battery and there are some spaces in it that is not being used for a charge. that's why it drains fast coz some room for charging where not used or left blank... that's why they recommend the drain/charge cycle above at least once a month to clean/clear the battery memory or something like that (i cant remember all the jargons).
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
I'm going to try this. Thanks for the tip.
[Nexus S Accessories] sinik420:
im having your issue, this empty and recharge never works as i do it twice a week, let me know if it does it for you
[Nexus S Accessories] window7:
FOr the battery that we had, it doesnt have any "battery memory".

So long as you charge, it will first use the voltage from the charger rather than from the battery. Just like our computer, when we charge it, it will use AC power while charging the battery.

Draining it to complete zero and charge it to 100% will work on older phone, but not for smart phone nowadays as the battery technology has been improved.

So for those who having battery issue, I would recommend you to use battery calibration after you flash a new rom.

I found that battery calibration very useful as it increased my battery life to 1-2 hours more :p

You can find that at my signature below.
[Nexus S Accessories] Epoxx:
Bettery tips

A complete drain/charge cycle IS a battery calibration, it will improve battery life on newer batteries too. Even if they do not have "memory".

Somebody else asked if a rapid charge is better or worse for the battery, to that I answer that the slower the better. Faster = heat and heat = damage. Now if those sleep of deaths would stop happening to my nexus s...

Optimize battery for Android

For those of you with battery problem, you gotta recalibrate your phone,

It happens if you jump roms alot or after experiencing random reboots.

This this method i posted on my blog... it helped me...

Optimize battery for Android
[Nexus S Accessories] saranyan:
Recalibrate your battery,

Charge your phone to 100% (Using nexus s charger app from the market),

Go into recovery-->Advanced--> Wipe battery stats. Now unplug the phone from the charger.( Or use battery calibrator app from market)

Drain it fully to zero till your phone gets switched off,

Now charge it to 100% again in one go.

Now use your phone normally, You'll notice that your battery life will improve in like 2-3 days. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] franciscopr:
Por lo que conozco de electricidad, para una buena duración en la batería es: Cuanto mas lento mejor. Si a un cargador se le aumenta el amperaje, cargará mas rápido, pero también se estropeará antes la batería. El cargador del Nexus S es de 150mA, yo utilizo uno de 200mA.

Un saludo
[Nexus S Accessories] AliensWanted:
The charger for the BlackBerry PlayBook is designed to be a fast charger and many BlackBerry users claim excellent battery life and faster charging times using that charger on their phones versus the standard charger. Has anyone tried that with a Nexus S?

Curious.

[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
I don't use the drawstring - I just put the phone in the pouch.
[Streak 5 Accessories] brianlp:
I used the drawstring because it seemed like the phone would just slide out onto the floor if you accidentally held it upside down. But then it was hard to get it it open wide enough to get the phone out of the bag. This is why I don't use it.

Ah, good to point out. Sometimes the picture previews in some programs aren't full resolution to cut down on processing times, delays, etc.

Is anyone able to confirm this? I also think they may look a little bit better in Sense but I must admit that when I viewed them using another image viewer afterwards they looked about the same. Didn't pay enough attention to make a qualified report though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
Best way to test would be to just put both the sense pic and the stock pic on your computer.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IcedCube:
Howdy all,

Just wondering, how are the system.img files made? I have read that if it's a YAFFS image file, that the maximum filesize cannot exceed 128MB. However, I've seen on some NAND HD2 Android builds, the system.img filesize is >128MB.

My question is, what method are you guys using for making the NAND system.img files to flash within MAGLDR? (ie. is it like a ZIP archive with a .img extension on it)

I'm currently working on a remix of a ROM that I use (a hint is in my Sig), and I know that the update.zip method that was used on "true-Android" devices to change ROMs doesn't apply to our MAGLDR method now.

Cheers and I'm sure you'll see another ROM for the HD2 in the coming weeks!

IcedCube.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KillaHurtz:
The system.img is a yaffs2image. Google 'compiled windows unyaffs' use that program to take a peak inside the .img. When you're completely ready to make your own .img your gonna need a linux distro or cygwin w/mkyaff2image compiled. However I recomend compiling the mkfs.yaffs2 command if you are using linux. Alternatively you can place the /system/ directory you are trying to make an image on your SD and run that command in the terminal emulator in Android. It should look like this #mkyaffs2image /sdcard/system/ System.img

Hope that helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Does this give you write abilities so that files can be changed out pre-flash?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
I think you have to dump them to a folder, then you can change what you want. Then do the yaffs2 cmd and it will package it back up to .img for flashing...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
I think that a tutorial is in order. Someone who knows how to extract and replace files in a system.img needs to write a short tutorial on how to do it. - A simple step by step on how to decompile a system.img and re-compile it.

That's not actually a Gingerbread build - it's just themed to look like one, but still got the same name ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Another option is to connect to ADB or Android Commander before going through the initial setup(when it asks you to choose your language) and change the files then - use the PC to reboot the phone, not the phone's built-in reboot. This should take you right back to the setup screen where this time, should show United States localization.

Still a bit too much work. I'd like to be able to patch the build, flash it, and be good to go.

Turorial

Windows

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, let's start again. If you are using windows, google the said phrase above and you will find the precompiled utility 'unyaffs'.

Place the System.img you want to extract in a new directory with unyaffs.exe & drag the .img onto unyaffs. A command window will open and start extracting the files in the image to that same folder. You can now explore & edit/pull whatever you need to get things going. Once you have it the way you want copt it to your SD/root/ & make a folder for it with an obvious name like "Project" or "Test". Now to get it back into a bootable .img open Terminal Emulator in Android & enter the following

#mkyaffs2image /sdcard/NAMEofFOLDERuCHOSE/ System.img

**alternatively you can do this in windows itself if u have the utility compiled under cygwin or simular.

Linux

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, you will need the unyaffs & mkfs.yaffs2 utilities compiled and working 1st off.

mkyaffs2image works to make the image however it fails upon flash with DFT Android Flasher. So I recomend mkfs.yaffs2 & have included it, you will need to place it in /usr/sbin/. If you have trouble copying it open a terminal and run "gksudo nautilus" then copy to the above mentioned directory.

**Now that those utilities are working let's get to work.

open a terminal and run 'unyaffs /home/yourusername/Desktop/targetdirectory/targetimage.img

copy/edit/pull the files you want. When your ready to build the image you are happy with open a terminal and run 'mkfs.yaffs2 /home/yourusername/Desktop/targetdirectory/ System.img'

Now your ready to flash !
