if this was the HD7 i would be all over in a heartbeat, i'm sure why would they release a pro. physical keyboard :mad: no thanx.
[HTC 7 Pro] Rippley05:
There is likely nothing at all wrong with the phone, and if you're a windows phone guy.. then you're loving this release.

I'm just simply not a windows phone guy, I'm not gonna bash it or anything tho.. it just isn't for me.

SMH....another big yawn announcement by sprint.You know,I have a funny feeling that CTIA is gonna be yet another big disappointment for us android users/fans.This is pathetic...I mean look at the high end android lineup at T-mo for cripes sakes!

Sprint is making my decision to leave them easier and eaiser every day:mad:.
[HTC 7 Pro] mattykinsx:
Every year at this time Sprint is "behind" when it comes to announcements.

Every year at this time I hear this same attitude towards Sprint.

Every year Sprint announces their stuff in Spring and releases it in Spring and Summer.

There's NO REASON to think that this year will be any different.

Also, some people like WM7 so, just because this is a "yawn" to you doesn't mean it will be for others.
[HTC 7 Pro] NYCguy2020:
And what excatly is so exciting about releasing ONE good high end phone per year??! This is lame.
[HTC 7 Pro] mattykinsx:
One good high end phone?

Do you know anything at all?

Evo + Epic + Evo shift = three.

Compare to the other carriers, minus the Nexus S and the iPhone, it's really not any different with them, friend.
[HTC 7 Pro] NYCguy2020:
Of all three only the Evo is conisdered a GOOD high end phone.To me the shift is a downgrade.7 months after the original Evo and all they could come up with is the shift??! lol.....their phone lineup seems to trend downward IMHO.I mean look at the Kyocera Echo!
[HTC 7 Pro] mattykinsx:
Dude... the Evo shift is the most powerful phone [along side the g2 etc] out [prior to the release of the Atrix yesterday].

The Epic is a very good phone too, and actually more powerful than the Evo as well.

The Evo, Epic, and Evo Shift are all comparable to every other phone lineup from the other carriers.

Except with the exception of the ONE CES released phone, the Atrix.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make that not true.

If phones I "don't like" don't count in other carriers lineup then no one has a any "high end phones" except At&t with the Atrix.

As far as the Kyocera Echo....who carried the Microsoft Kin?

Oh, that was Verizon wasn't it?!?!?!

I guess they went down hill right?

Oh...wait...:rolleyes:
[HTC 7 Pro] NYCguy2020:
So,how is it like up there on sprint's d#*K??!

You seem to have taken it upon yourself to vehemently defend Sprint on every single thread.What's up with that??!
[HTC 7 Pro] Blitzpwnage:
http://now.sprint.com/arrive/?ECID=vanity:arrive

Theres the official webpage! OH, its $199.99 thats a BS price the thing is launching on the March 20th lol, this is full of FAIL (Not because it is WM7 and the hardware is AWESOME but the price is like WTF!
[HTC 7 Pro] bronxknight28:
$200 is a standard now for smartphones (new ones at least) I think the phone will succeed in selling being that people have used touch pro phones and liked it, those people will be upgrading im sure
[HTC 7 Pro] ewynn9:
The arrive intrigues me more than any other wp7 phone out there
[HTC 7 Pro] brownhornet:
Im giving Sprint one more month to announce a worth while phone or im cancelling my account.
[HTC 7 Pro] brownhornet:
And on top of that I just got confirmation that Verizon indeed isnt going to be charging extra for LTE on mobile phones. I'm pretty much sold now.:D
[HTC 7 Pro] Blitzpwnage:
Then leave? Lol
[HTC 7 Pro] HondaCop:
Yea, I think paying an extra 20 a month per bill with Verizon is looking more tempting for me. The incentive for staying with Sprint are becoming less with each passing week. I guess I will have to start using my EVO as a torrent server soon so I can get the boot and avoid the ETF charges. lol

- My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[HTC 7 Pro] JUST2SUAVE:
How can I do that? The set up

sent from My HTC Evo,hoe!
[HTC 7 Pro] sling:
I'm paying 61.00 a month for simply everything-400 thanks to discounts which is a great deal but I want better Android device selection Verizon can provide.

It comes down to this ,If Sprint fails release EVO2 by August I'm bailing after 7 years of service with them simple as that.
[HTC 7 Pro] mattykinsx:
Why is it so hard for you guys to understand that Sprints new release time is summer?

It's been that way for years and its not changing now.
[HTC 7 Pro] strung:
Yes Netflix.

No Wimax.

What?!?
[HTC 7 Pro] mattykinsx:
It may have something to do with the wimax future issue but it does suck and is silly.
[HTC 7 Pro] sling:
Sprint says LTE is their future so I wouldn't expect Wimax device anytime soon...like never but who knows ,

Sprint goes back & forth on what 4G technology will be used on their fabulous network so Its mystery to all.
[HTC 7 Pro] brownhornet:
Technically I already have:D. Only thing im debating on now is whether I want to keep my Sprint line if they come out with something worth while and use it as a backup line. But if they dont ill just be strictly LTE from March 4th on out.
[HTC 7 Pro] brownhornet:
Why is it so hard for you to understand that regardless of when Sprint RELEASES their phones, we know about them far in advance with the exception of that tragedy of a phone called the Echo. We knew about the Evo in December even though it didnt come out until June. We knew about the Evo shift, we knew about this WP7 phone LAST year. But unlike usual, there are pretty much no rumblings of anything coming out of Sprint so far which is why I said im giving them until CTIA to announce something before I decide whether im going to cancel my sprint line or not. See I didnt use an upgrade when I got my Evo so I have no worries of an ETF.. ive been off contract.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tknz:
So I've had a project for the last few months getting Android running as an infotainment system. Here is a demo i thought i'd share with you guys..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNcDq9S8n3I

Basic features:

Android 2.1 (looking to update to GB)

7inch touch-screen (800x480)

3G modem

GPS

Reverse camera (backup camera to see what's behind you)

USB port

would love to hear some criticism or anything regarding the device.. its not perfect, its got a few bugs and glitches.. but is sort of ready for everyday use but is missing a few components to make it 'official' android device (wifi, bluetooth etc).. but i'm just wondering if anyone is interested in something like this? Is this worth developing further on?

This thing runs on Cortex a8 omap3530 board and is based off 0xdroid build.

apologies if im in the wrong forum :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SwiftLegend:
Wow dude, thats really cool! I'd love one of these for my car. If you could get Honeycomb on that bad boy it'd be sweet! Just wondering, how do you plan on setting up a rear view camera? Just connect a camera at the back of the car to the tablet itself, then run the Camera app? Seems like the simplest way to me..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tknz:
Haha cheers love to see the honeycomb source once its out then we'll talk :p although I'd imagine i'd need better hardware...

currently camera is interfaced by usb (has a usb hub) so i got a cable running under the carpet through the boot then camera is mounted on the bumper. yup camera is called by any camera calling intent.. so any app can use it.

I want to get some proximity sensors (like parking sensors) and write a proper reverse cam app to complement it. But we'll see...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chjade84:
Very cool!

I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I was going to use MeeGo or maybe Moblin since I don't have the programming skills (or Android knowledge for that matter) to build my own computer around Android. I dig what you got so far though.

My suggestion for the reverse camera is one of two things, because it would bug me to have to find and open the camera app every time I needed to back up.

Keep your touchscreen (what model are you using BTW?) and use a bluetooth or wi-fi relay (I know they make 'em, but they are $$$) to provide an input from +12V signal from your reverse light wire to automatically open the camera app, then close the app. Of course, you'd have to program for that.

Or

Have you considered this touch screen? Lilliput 7" touch screen with auto-reverse input. (Needs a RCA camera though)

http://store.mp3car.com/Lilliput_629GL_70NP_C_T_7_VGA_Touchscreen_w_Aut_p/MON-016-0002.htm

This is the one I plan on using since it switches automatically to the camera input whenever you are in reverse. Once you go back to any other gear, the OS input shows up again.

Just a thought to make life a little more convenient (although you already bought your parts so you may be stuck.) ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tknz:
Thanks a lot! It needs a lot of time and dedication but it's a real good learning curve. I had to learn a lot of things on the way.. especially c/c++ I wasn't great at but had decent skills with higher level programming.

If you are planning to work with MeeGo its a little fussy with the hardware requirements.. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think you need an Intel Atom processor. These are a little pricey if you're after an evaluation/hackable kit! But I'd imagine it'll be easier to program as it's a lot more closey coupled with linux.

I just had a look at those relays, sounds like its something I really need! Is this how the standard backup cameras work? That was something I was confused about.. I wasn't sure how to detect if i'm on reverse.. especially with the parts I already had. I'd imagine once you implement it you just need a service running in the background to listen for the relay.

The touchscreen is a TFT resistive 4wire touch-screen. It's not something I want to keep as I really want capacitive multi-touch.. But this fits perfectly with the board and was easier to deal with

Nice find! I wish I saw that earlier :p .. Quite pricey but would make life so much easierrrrr!

Cheers for the feedback! Best of luck for your project!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chjade84:
I think most factory backup cameras use two inputs and switch between them. I don't have a lot of experience with them though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tknz:
Not sure what you mean exactly. I'll try the relays because it at-least gives me a standard interface to work with (bluetooth or wifi) so there isn't any work you have to deal with on the hardware abstraction.. Although it would probably be better designed if I had some sort of voltage input coming when the vehicle on reverse (the reverse light as mentioned). But I don't really have the electrical expertise to make it happen lol.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chjade84:
Well essentially what I was thinking was you'd have the bluetooth relay hooked up to your reverse light wire. This should allow your computer to monitor whether or not your car was in reverse. Relays are pretty simple - one input switches on/off another, usually one of a much higher or lower voltage. So in essence, it's a switch activated by voltage. (There used to be an electromagnet inside that physically moves a piece of metal to make a connection when a voltage is applied - now it's all transistors and whatnot.)

So, if you are in reverse and your reverse lights are getting power, the bluetooth relay should sense that and signal the computer (through a serial command it seems) which in turn could tell a background service to open the camera app. Once the voltage from the reverse light wire is lost, the relay should again tell the computer that you aren't in reverse anymore and the background service would close the camera app and re-open whatever app you were in.

*I should note this is all "in theory"... I don't know exactly how those wireless relays work/communicate and I don't know Android programming at all.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tknz:
Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking what about using the GPIOs on the board and attach that to the reverse light? would that be possible? and using some resistors on the way to limit the voltages so i don't fry the board.. but we just need to detect some voltage input...

Not sure, will look into it. Right now, taking a pause on the development.. Got a lot of work to take care of but I can't wait to get back into it. I really want to port this to gingerbread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chjade84:
You could possibly do that, a real cheap voltage regulator would probably be better though. You could also use a cheap relay if the correct voltage is already somewhere on the car. Again, I'm not too sure how those bluetooth relays work, but it sounds like you are on the right track.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OrdnanceCorp:
Great Job!

I was thinking of doing something similar myself.

I am looking at going with one of the tablets as it is just seems easier? I only really need internet, google maps(GPS) and wifi tethering. I would imagine you are running stereo sound from a 3.5mm? I would still have a seperate head unit to control volume and handle all the regular functions as well as inputs from a 3.5 to RCA cable.

How are you running sound off that setup? Are you running a head unit still?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tknz:
The sound is running off a small amplifier. then RCA to 3.5mm.

Haven't had the chance to play around with the wifi tether as right now i don't have a wifi card.. It would make sense to have wifi tethering or just wifi reciever and use a phone to tether 3g to the system. Avoids having separate data plans.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tknz:

Nice project. I gutted a Clarion Mind last year to do pretty much the same thing but am looking to upgrade. You said the software needs work but it's a real good start. Would you mind sharing your hardware list with us?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Panus:
Nice work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Stu_Gotti:
Something I was also interested in seeing is having vehicle manufacturer recommended service intervals and such available as reminders from your in car system or phone or both.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chjade84:
You could use 'aCar' which, if you are unfamiliar, you enter the make, model, mileage and all the pertinent service requirements. Battery every 3 years or 50,000 miles, coolant every year or 15,000 miles, oil every 6 months or 3,000 miles, etc. Then, every time you get gas you enter the current mileage as well as gallons/liters of fuel and the price. From that information you not only get your MPG but it will also trigger reminders to do the necessary maintenance at the correct intervals when they come up. You can do this for multiple cars as well. It's a very good program.

On a related note to this thread, I started my own 'carputer' project using an Archos 70 Internet Tablet and an unused articulating wall mount for TVs. It's still a work in progress as well since I don't have all the parts yet but will do everything I wanted (eventually... lol) except the rear facing camera. The video is obviously just of the media player.

I shot this late last night to show a friend. He wanted to know why someone would want a tablet/computer in their car, lol. Sorry about it being so dark.

AIVI

Its Really nice that android is coming to IVI. But most of the OEM are concern with android security. Do have views about Security issues in android related to IVI ? NO doubt IVI require more security that Phone (Imagine your rear camera crashes or stopped showing preview while parking or application written for opening side mirrors will close mirrors unexpectedly etc )

e.g How we will stop malicious application interfering in car network??

Has android security framework provide enough security for IVI???

after introducing CAN into android how we will secure privileged data?

As android has only security mechanism based on permission and sand-boxing will it only suffice for IVI security??

Please share your views on this

Personally I am doubting that the rumors of anyone getting the update already are true. I can't imagine that with as many people who are watching and waiting for this that nobody who is on any of these forums has gotten anything yet.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgunnIT:
Currently running GingerShedBread v 1.6. Great work on this ROM. However, a few things that I noticed with this ROM:

1. Lockscreen - If I disable the lockscreen, then later re-enable it, the lockscreen never shows up again unless I reboot. I like to disable it while at home and what not, but I want a lockscreen on while I am at work because I often leave my phone docked on my desk, but I don't want someone snooping around on it while I am off doing other things.

2. News & Weather widget - I often get the message "Sorry, news currently unavailable" in the News and Weather Widget. If I tap on the widget, the news will load and show up in the widget again, but after a while I will get the same message again.

Great work to all the developers involved in making Froyo and Gingerbread on the Droid Eris possible. They have definitely extend the life of the Eris.

Hi,

I've had my Epic for a few months now and it appears the battery has started to go bad, it cuts off charging at 4.1v or 4.08v. I took it to a sprint repair center and the rep said that it was operating at only 90% capacity, so he said he reset its internal chip to 100%. Now, a few weeks later, it's back to doing it again. Samsung's website says that the battery is not defective and eligible for warranty replacement until its at 80% capacity.

Does anyone know what voltage 80% is? I'm having trouble calculating it and I don't want to be wrong.

Thank you!

Samsung Captivate for AT&T

When I first received my Captivate they accidentally had the wrong volt battery in my phone - WTF?....Samsung/ ATT support quickly sent a brand new replacement...make sure battery replacements are not refurbished and are in fact new. Sealed in package.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
hmmmmmmmmm The amount of hassle to mess with the carrier or Samsung over just getting a new battery for 12 bucks, doesn't seem worth it to me....

I would just buy a new battery

BTW you can go into recovery and reset the battery stats yourself go into recovery>then advanced> then reset battery stats.

Also there a some apps that allow the battery to drain further down lowering the low set voltage down appox, .2 volts
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudsondias:
Ok, so I have been trying to find a answer for this... but really can't find it anywhere. I believe because the terms "remove twitter history from android contacts" are too common or I really cant google it right.

The thing is, I go to my contacts, choose one that has twitter, look into history. If I have direct messages sent our received from them it will be in there forever. Even if I delete the DM in twitter or in my Twicca application. =\

I can remove SMS messages by holding and delete, ok, the facebook messages that I delete from facebook wont show.

But twitter is always there .... forever.....!

Anyone has seen it happen too? Any idea how to remove it? Or I need to delete my contact and add again?
