[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
use like handcent, ect, and go into send message settings, and enable the 160 character split, that should make it better.

that easy huh..n here i thought somethin deeper was wrong..thanks tho ur a life saver lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Naw, just CDMA phones, like the evo can have trouble sending long messages, so using the 160 split makes it send faster, just basically 2 messages. Also for pics, ect, have your 3G on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okizen:
Hi, I'd bought my GT-I9000, upgraded to Froyo 2.2 and installed Copilot in the Middle East and everything was working fine. Now I'm in South Africa and I can't get Copilot to work or even log into gmail to access Google Market. Is this because the firmware of my phone is for the Middle East and I'm in South Africa or what? Would flashing my phone to another region help? Can anyone help me with this issue please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
CoPilot are better placed to answer your question .

But first to check is have you downloaded the maps for current area .

Connections what sim /network are you using . Its possible that changing the CSC will help .Or changing settings in the phone APN etc for the current network .

[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyLongarms:
What tablet do I get?

I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a tablet to install into my dash. The Archos 5 IMT looks like it has almost everything I want, but I would really like a 7".

It needs:

Built-in GPS (or enough ports for a dongle, and support for a dongle. I don't want bluetooth, because I don't want to have to worry about it losing power)

FM receiver (I know there are internet radio apps, but I want to be able to use this offline.. if it's possible)

Capacitive screen (Cause I want it) with a wide viewing angle.

I don't care much about which version of Android it has, it will pretty much just be used for GPS and Music/video.

As a side note, I'm still doing research, but if anyone knows how to, or knows where there's a tutorial, I need to figure out how to hook the tablet to the speakers. I don't really want to have to use a head unit, though that would be the easy way. There must be some kind of small device I can use that has a volume knob and maybe fade/balance controls that I can install anywhere in the truck.

Thanks for reading!
[General Questions and Answers] gator2k83:
I have installed the archos 5IT in my dash and love it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kUsui3-5Y0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nN-8Hrf0sM

Its not capacitive but it does not suffer from the glare that the glass screens have. As far as touch sensitivity its pretty acurate for a resistive device.

I dont have the gps signal issues most have as i have the flash version and not the hard drive based ones as most say the hdd must be blocking the gps. I paid for the one time map fee from Ndrive but also tether to my phone and use google maps as well.

I have over 100 youtube music video's in mp4 format ripped to the device and use those as my music and have it set to random play and it goes from one file to the next without having to select a new video once one is over.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyLongarms:
Thanks!

Some good input there. I'll have to keep that in mind. I just really think a 7" would look a lot better. Especially in my F150 XLT. Seems like the 5" would look dinky, and I have room for a 7".

If archos put the 5's guts into the 7 form factor, I'd buy 2 right now. Rly.

Also, for anyone who stumbled on this, I think it won't be too hard to set this up without using a head unit. (I could be wrong on some of the technical info, but I think I have the right idea here.) Your amplifier has a 'plug' with like 20 wires attached coming out. Normally, your radio has a plug that fits this plug. You plug it in, and now the radio's attached to the amp, which is attached to the speakers. Good to go. So you buy a new plug (called a wire harness), one that fits your amplifier (assuming stock amplifier, I will just look up 2000 F150 wire harness on amazon, and that's it), and wire up your tablet to it instead of your radio.

The wire harness puts out a 12v (ignition on) wire. You can adapt this to a USB and use that to charge the device. Set it to display/wifi/gps/all other battery draining crap off while not charging. When you turn the car on, it's now "Charging" and everything will turn off. I think it should be able to 'sleep' for a few days, so it should be 'always on' as far as you can tell.

The harness also has a wire for each of the 4 speakers, maybe subwoofers too, I forget now. I'm sure someone makes a product that controls these easily, I'm going to have to go to a local car audio shop, and ask some questions. Hopefully I can put the audio out from the tablet into the audio in of this unknown device. Then I should be able to wire the unknown device to the wiring harness. If I can't find something, I think I'll just make my own circuit, 3 Pots for volume, fade and balance, some resistors or something.. we'll see if I can't just buy something. The rest of the EQ can be done on the tablet.

(If I do make my own, I want to use a slide-style pot for volume instead of a rotating one. I think that'd be the nuts.)

Wiring harness: Ignition on wire adapted to USB. Speaker wires wired to volume/fade/bal device.

Tablet: plug in USB, and connect audio out to volume/fade/bal device.

Easy cheesy.

I'll be updating.

This thing is starting to look like it'll be really easy to do.

I can't get started 'til I find my tablet though. I would love to hear some more ideas! THANKS!
[General Questions and Answers] gator2k83:
they updated the 7" home with newer hardware but it does not have gps. I would look into the upcoming wifi only samsung galaxy tab and see if it will have gps.

your on the right track with the audio wiring however you would better off getting a cheap 4ch amp to do it as you need power to pump the speakers the way you are talking about wiring it up would basically have the android device trying to power door speakers from the headphone output amp. If you got a cheap 4 ch amp and wired it through the stock vehicle harness you would have all the hookups u need just get the headphone to rca cable and a set of splitters to power all 4 channels of the amp volume could be controlled from the android device. If the amp had external volume remote or if you wired one inline with the headphone output you could have better volume control however the turning on and off of the amp might send a pop to the speakers as the amp would always be turned up.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyLongarms:
Hmm

I was under the impression that my vehicle came with a stock amp. Everything's stock (as far as I know, got it used and haven't tinkered with it yet.)

Just trying to understand better, as I have never dealt with car stereos before.

So my stereo was supplying power to the speakers before? There's not an amp in my truck right now between the stereo and the speakers?

EDIT:

I'm almost thinking of getting something really cheap, as I plan on permanently mounting it in the dash. Something Chinese maybe?

I'm sure the Galaxy Tab would work really well, but it's a bit expensive for a GPS/radio/computer.. now that I'm typing this out, that's a ****ing deal! Maybe I will get something nice to pop in there.

I found a tutorial online for making the 12v ignition into 2 USBs, so I am now considering a usb-powered bluetooth gps. Too bad it adds $50 to the cost.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyLongarms:
Alright

Nope, no amp in the F-150 standard. It's in the head unit. So I will need to get an amp.

I figure I can move this whole system to my next car (Plan on getting a new truck in 3-4 years.. or sooner if this one decides to go on me), so the amp is an investment.

Truck has 4 speakers stock (no subwoofers)

I will hook those 4 speakers to the amp I buy. (I'll have to look up how to install an amp now.. geesh.)

I will put the audio out from my tablet into the amp.

Now I have to figure out how the 12v ignition on is gonna work, since I'm now going through a new amp. I found a tutorial on instructables titled "12v to USB adapter \ 12v to 5v transformer (great for cars)" I'm not allowed to post links yet, but I'm sure you can find it if you want it.
[General Questions and Answers] gator2k83:
Yeah the amp any small 4ch or 2ch if you dont care about front rear fade will work..

As far as hooking up an amp they are pretty easy just need to run your own main power wire for the 12v constant for the amp. 8-10 gage should be fine for 400-600w 2 or 4 ch amp to power door speakers....

then use your red ignition wire from the harness u get to power the remote to the amp so its only on with the ignition. Extent the speaker wires to reach your amp you can mount under the passenger side dash or behind the center consol as trucks have plenty of room under there.

the wires from the harness you get to plug into your factory radio harness are easy to figure out as the colors have been standard for a while. Black is ground but you will need your own closest to the amp as possible any bare metal spot you can find that has a bolt to the frame or under dash should suffice. The black from the harness will power the usb fine. Yellow is constant + (always on) if you want the usb to always have power if not use the red as its only on with the ignition it will have enogh amps to power the remote for the amp and charge/power the tablet. green and purple are rear speakers, white/gray are front speakers. the remaining wire colors depend on the vehicle if they have them like blue is for power antenna or factory amp turn on. orange is to dim an after market head unit display when the head lights are on.

I was in best buy a few weeks ago and saw the archos 7 home tablet for $129 almost got one just because of the deal but dont need it as the 5it i have is fine and has the built in gps. but if using an external bluetooth gps is the route you go the 7 should be great. You will just need to find your own gps app or use google maps and have to terher to something like a smart phone for data.

http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_7/specs.html?country=us&lang=en

they show the gps icon on the home screen however it does not have built in gps. there are a ton of gps solutions you can side load or get from android market.

Gonna look at it more when I get home, will probably buy it. Only thing that's funky about it is that it charges with AC. We'll see...
[General Questions and Answers] stevey500:
A software to be written to tell it to go to sleep immediately when "ac" power is removed would be nice, also, that app to tell music/radio to resume on "wake" would be nice.

That way it plays the true car infotainment roll.

A device with USB host would almost be required before I dig into android platform for my infotainment system.

I have a custom built net-top based system built in my truck using a 7" touch screen, automatic power supply from mini-box.com, and a USB controller connected to my steering wheel control buttons. USB host is a must for me!
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyLongarms:
Sounds like a good setup. Honestly i'm fine with the stock radio in my truck, but I like to tinker.

Still haven't found the right device. I'm buying an Arnova 8 when they switch to the new model, and I'll give that a test fit.. see how it goes.

My plan is to set the device to have the display always on when plugged in. It's in settings or something. If it's wired to the ignition, should work right? We'll see.

I think if I get juice defender and set it to aggressive (no gps, no wifi, no bluetooth, no anything), it should stay on for a while in standby.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyLongarms:
Well...

Seems like Android Tablets haven't matured enough for my project. I don't see a cheap 7" capacitive tablet with GPS coming out anytime soon. I'm going to go ahead and get a stereo with rear usb and aux ports, and make a mount for my phone. Should be fun. I'll make a new post with pictures and instructions, and link it here.

Oh well...

What appears to be lacking in the market currently is a ready-to-use 2DIN or double-din head unit that is basically a permanent in-dash universal docking system such that you can simply pop in a 5 or 7 inch tablet (or adaptable for say a minimum 4 inch or greater smartphone?) with the head unit's rear interface designed for plugging into the car's power, sound system, and steering wheel controls just like an aftermarket care stereo.

You can format on your own phone or using the recovery. If you want a program, the SDCard Formatter from Panasonic is the oficial program to format SD cards.

You can try MiniTool Partition Wizard which is free.

And Amon RA 2.0.0/2.0.1 (not sure of older versions) supports EXT4 also but first you'll have to format SD with EXT2 then convert EXT2>>EXT3 and then EXT3>>EXT4.

My x10 is rebooting on SE logo. tried all the way. need some help.
[Off-topic] domineus:
I'm shopping around for a new tablet, well I should preface with this. I have lusted after convertible tablets and slate tablets since I was 14, and luckily in 2008, I got the dell xt followed by the dell xt2. And now I am in the helm to shop for a new tablet. And then I settled on this pretty piece of machinery for my next purchase - the lenovo x220t. And it looks great...

So, happy ending. Seems like a great buy right? NO! I buy this and I am issued with the same crap I've been getting for years. An actual tablet OS. Oh yes someone chimed in - install android on it, you will love it. Er, no I don't. If I wanted a phone OS, I would get a phone OS. I hate the fact that if tablets are discussed, some brain dead ignoramus talks about oh get the ipad, or get the samsung galaxy or the motorola xoom.

And granted the xoom, by the hardware is mediocre at best that is further limited by a less than stellar android honeycomb in which the developers have done some of the stupidest things in terms of creating a lack of UX/UI Standard. Yes, the fricking "stage" looks nice, but in simple tasks like opening or closing the browser tabs, deleting email, programs, it totally and completely SUCKS. Yeah, the iOS for ipad is further refined in several instances, but if I wanted to buy a phone OS, I would get a phone. I can at least say, android is taking a step in a better direction by dividing the two OSes to make different developmental gains.

But what about the current crop of OSes now? Ubuntu, while fast, sucks, even with that pathetic god forsaken unity bull on it. Mac OSX, don't get me started! Windows 7, while fast, also sucks. And if you customize it for finger friendly operations, you get the ugliest pieces of crap I have personally ever seen. Maybe I should try the overlays. Yes been there tried that. It's like putting makeup on a pig. It doesn't hide the fact that it's still a pig and it surely don't make it pretty!

So at the end of this rant, what is a person to do who doesn't want god awful honeycomb or the laughable iOS or the pee poor big game changers. Wait, no really. That's the mythical answer. Wait. And that answer ticks me off! It's almost been 10 years since convertibles came around to be affordable and even more since the tablet actually began. In all that time, not one single OS can fit for a tablet paradigm? That mixes support for desktop applications that is stylish?

Who in the holy hell can save us from this tablet dominated trite that we have been exposed to for years!?
