Can't get the RC E100 working on the phone. Connecting the remote gives me an error that the phone does not support it. I have tried to install the drivers but that doesnt help me either: you have already the latest drivers.
Anyone?
imo it's not supported, because of the 3.5 jack. I've tried yc-a300 multi adaptor wit no luck either.
i think that i've seen somewhere a reg hack which allows you to use usbExt audio capabilities on htc touch hd.
You would make a lot of people happy if you were able to find this reg hack.
As it stands we are told that no audio is passed to the Ext-USB.

I bought the E100 without realising it wasn't compatable, however, I was poking around in Google and found a reference on a polish version of xda-developers. http://pdaclub.pl. Now, bear in mind that I speak no polish whatsoever, but it seems to be discussing a ROM that has been made which allows the E100 to work with the THD. Here are a couple of very poorly translated excerpts (translated using an online translator), which seem to be talking about using the E100 to control the volume (and hence other controls?):
So, I have noticed (have remarked) that from this a bit requests nazbierało here, whole list beguile that in (to) ) add (be of use for) repair /add ( hope < stuff > sofcie, that in version already 2.1 ) 1.

So does anyone speak fluent Polish geek and can create ROMS ? (If there isn't anyone here, I do know a Polish girl who is completely non-technical, but could possibly help with the translation)
Damn it.. wish I read this before ordering the RC E100 in from Amazon in Germany (best price I found).. why the hell do they include a leaflet with the phone advertising these headphones if they are not compatible!!!
Is there no available ROM that can cure this, Dutty etc??!
As for the Polish stuff, my Polish friends are not at all technical either, but I can ask one to translate it too, if anyone will find it helpful...
Does anyone know how we could get a ROM developer interested in this like Dutty? Do we just PM them, or do we need a special invite?
read the manual for the hd (in the wiki)
although the miniusb socket has the extusb pins present, on the inside the extusb pins are not connected
therefore no matter how skilled the hacker, you cant make software to do something that the hardware is not present to deliver
the same with tv out
the extusb port is there purely for bog standard usb functions and charging
if people have a leaflet from an official supplier in their box recommending these headsets/remotes etc, then you have bought them through misleading advertising and you will have some form of recompense through your local trading standards process

Hi JimLin,
I don't know if this applies for shipping to foreign countries but in Germany there is a law that you can send back any online ordered goods within 2 weeks without naming even a reason and you will get a refund. (I don't think this applies if you bought by a private seller)
So the odds are on your side I would say...
Best regards,
Tommi

I hope the title mostly explains my question: I would like to know devs opinions about how "do-able" it would be to create a sound driver/app that would allow a user to hear the microphone input mixed with other audio when earbuds or headphones are connected to the device. I'm guessing that this would not be difficult. I am an electrical engineer with programming experience (only written one android program via tutorial, though), and I am thinking about trying this. I thought I'd start by bouncing this idea off you experienced devs.
Need for app (further explanation): My girlfriend is partially deaf-- she wears hearing aids to help her hear the outside world. When she listens to music or makes phone calls with her phone, she likes to use her earbuds -- lots of us do -- and like lots of us, she can't hear the outside world with earbuds in her ears -- in her case, she can't hear the outside world at all. I was thinking that if the android device could just forward an audio stream from the mic input to the headphone output, controlled by an on-off/sensitivity option, this would not only become a very sophisticated hearing aid replacement to devices that the deaf community has to pay thousands of dollars for, but it would also be useful to all of us who need to better hear the outside world at times when listening to music or talking on the phone with our earbuds in.
Like I said, it seems like a simple app or sound driver extension that could work with any audio output stream. I would get into the android api and start working on this unless there were specific reasons why this is not plausible. So here I am, bouncing the idea off you experienced devs.
What do ya think? Top-level approach, how could this be done? Does android limit this type of functionality?

I'm not a professional dev.
But I heard android can't process the mic input at realtime.
I think this is similar case with noise canceling.
Noise canceling needs real time mic input processing but android's API doesn't support it.
I don't want to say this...but iOS is way forward than android about this area.
(It actually supports sound processing at almost real time.
If you want to find example, search for amplitube or imic for iOS.)

Thanks AndroidON for your reply. My girlfriend currently uses an iPhone, and already I have found http://scientificaesthetic.com/2010/09/22/reviewing-awareness-for-the-iphone/ which is exactly what I hoped to find/develop in the android platform. So while this is awesome for her, I may never get her on to android now!!! heh heh Seriously though thanks for sending me on the iphone search, because that's just what she needed.
(Boooooo Android!)
Can anybody else confirm or deny that this is not possible on the android platform? I don't need processing, just signal forwarding with attenuation ...which may mean processing if converting from A/D then convert from D/A again... I was hoping hardware would allow the signal to stay in analog, to avoid the need for realtime digital processing. This is somewhat technical and I hope to hear from developers, and I would like to begin developing it if it's possible, which is why I originally posted in the dev section.
bumping this thread
Thanks for considering my question!!
Anybody know if this is possible with the android api?
Interesting question and a good idea for an app!
Well, it is definitely possible with java but there would be some delay due to a minimum buffer.
Look here (sorry, can't post links): stackoverflow.com/questions/5379063/audiorecord-and-audiotrack-latency
They say that probably it is possible to work around this problem with some C code
Hmmmm.... interesting! Thanks for that!
Yeah a little bit of delay would not be a bad thing in this case. The iPhone equivalent of this idea is Awareness! and it has delays of 1 to 2 tenths of a second.
No problem!
Well, maybe delay is ok for this
Re-Bump
Hi,
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I really am interested in an app like this.
Has anyone done anything about this ?
Thanks,

Ok I have a question... Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area. Here is the pitch: I have been looking forward to this phone for a long time (as most of you) I have been interested for a few years in developing an on the go platform for mobile entertainment. What I mean is just something I can use in my car to listen to music or watch movies. I know there are many things that exist that allow me to do this but I'm looking to develop a more all in one truly mobile solution and the Note might be the best option.
Without boring everyone with too much details- I'm hoping the Note comes with NFC for starters but does anyone know- will the usb host adapter allow the Note to charge and possibly use an external hard drive at the same time?
I'm in the R&D stages now for a car dock with software that will allow Note to just slide in and go similar to the newer mobile infotainment systems that are starting to show up in cars now but this will be truly mobile.

Omgosh what a great idea! Hooking up an externel hard drive may work, because you can plug flash drives into tablets and they work just fine. Hope your plan works, because if iit does ill be installing it on my stang
You posted this in an unrelated thread, so I moved it to its own thread. Your plan sounds great, I hope you can make it happen, I'd like a nice car dock for my future Note
Thanks for your interest guys! I will post some more info as the design begins testing.
As of now I'm using my Captivate for a front end... it kinda works but there's a lot of manual interaction which I'm hoping with the Note I can move away from. If this works out I can move to actually producing a full mobile infotainment solution.
I'm curious though... This project started out with just a personal want to make my long drives a little more comfortable. It has now turned in to something that I actually depend on and almost need. Do you guys think there is an actual need for something like this? Maybe this could be a start for a whole new "something" platform.
~C
Personal need and an idea of how to fulfill it is how many great products come around. I really wish I had a decent dock for my Captivate (that's what I've got, too), but none exist - and I have looked. Go for it. See where it takes you. Might make you some nice coin, and make others happy in the process!

You heard it here first... Should have some renderings soon-ish. I'm a software designer that works mostly in MS technologies so this is a new avenue but with all the support on XDA it shouldn't be too hard.
I would be very interested in this as well.
Good luck on the R&D

Based on how the Galaxy Tab works the answer is no, you can't use the USB drive and charge at the same time. You will need to build a custom cable.

I hope to have a Note to test with soon... (pre-ordered) The cable isn't too much of a problem just one more thing to put on the list. I'm toying around with designs that will able to have upgrades/plugins via a usb hub.

On the infuse hdmi (output and charge) works at the same time and needs it. Maybe if you need a few "lines" frim it to get it working ill supply that . It may need a custom kernel though...

Thanks! I'm hoping that I won't have to mess with the kernel too much... Most of what I need is already open in the OS (I hope) and I will most likely have the hardware completed before the software pieces. As long as my wife doesn't kill me first for spending too much time in the shop.
i think thats a great idea. check out how i am doing it now, using a 8.9 tab lte:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480694
Hopefully your contribution could be applied here? may I suggest you to take a look at the mp3car.com forums? there's an android section there, very interesting.
http://www.mp3car.com/android-tablet/
What's most needed i feel are the development of physical buttons to control the tablet/phone while driving. I envision using something like a bt version of devices like carpc joycon ex (basically a small device that turns your steering wheel buttons into a usb keyboard), or using modified bt headset buttons.

Nice setup! That is exactly what I'm looking for. The physical buttons are something that also crossed my mind. I will check out the joycon. I think with the USB host it will be a lot easier now. I do frequent mp3car.com they have helped with a couple carpc's I have built for friends and my own XBMC in my WRX I still use to play games while sitting in my car. This is the first time I'm traveling down the android path and I think it's going to be a better experience all around.
Thanks.
Now I think the note would be way more appropriate for my other car - the 8.9 is more fitting to a truck really.
Keep us posted!

I'm gonna try using a Seagate goflex satellite hard drive as a media center for my note in my car. It's 500gb and produces a Wi-Fi signal that the phone hooks onto, you then use the Seagate app to access all the hard drives music and movies. I plan to hardwire the hard drive into my cars power along with a micro charger to plug into the Samsung note car dock. I'll let everyone know how the hard drive works out. It could be an option for your project too, although the hard drive is rather pricy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Yeah, I have considered that, but I've seen less than stellar reviews on Amazon and I balked. Price is not a concern, as long as it works. The reviews stated that the interface was very poor and buggy. No playlists, no thumbnails, no folder support, IIRC.
Seagate, like Samsung, is not known for writing sleak software. So the fact that I must depend on their updates (will it work with ICS? Will it work in Landscape mode? etc.) is a concern. They should release their APIs at least, or source code.
I'd rather something like a NAS DLNA server. With DLNA, I can choose a bunch of compatible apps, I believe.
Also, about the Seagate's wifi connection, is is ad-hoc? Would it prevent the tablet from accessing the Internet? I suspect not, if you're using the note, but if you're using a tablet tethered to the phone...then this wouldn't work.
I have seen a couple lack luster reviews on the satellite but my friend is offering it to me for $75 because he never uses it anymore so I figured I would give it a shot. If it doesn't do what I need it to in the car I will either just use it for my tablet in home or sell it as Im sure I could recoup at least $75 from a $200 hard drive
Great, please report back your findings.

In this set-up, is the music coming out of the car's speakers or the Note?
I could not find a consolidated thread with all wishlists... so starting a new one.
Wish-1: wifi dongle
A sleek one. Just like the GPS dongle, that can be locked with the tablet. Should support 5GHz 802.11n.
Must allow for a passthrough 40 pin connector to allow charging even when dongle is connected.
Must be under $40-50 range
Preferably in the same gray and champange gold colors.
Wish-2: nvFlash
Obvious reasons. To be provided for folks with unlocked primes.
Wish-3: Support drivers for external USB wifi dongles
so that the folks with dock can plug something in the USB, to increase wifi range
Wish-4: Diagnostics utility
A utility that keeps log of app/system crashes. Just like how other operating systems have them. The utility should send all crash results to ASUS for diagnosis.
Wish-5: system stability and performance enhancements
- improve i/o performance of internal memory
- fix issues with screen flashing and tearing
- optimal memory and background process management
Wish-6: disclose full pin map for the 40 pin connector
we have TF101, 201, 300, 700 all with same 40 pin connectors. Disclosing pin map, will facilitate third-party hardware manufacturers to create more hardware accessories for ASUS tablets. WIN-WIN for everyone.
Wish-7: Jelly Bean support
Latest and greatest!
Wish-8: 3G USB Dongle support
Obviously, should be baked into the stock ROM, so that no rooting is required.
Wish-9: Kernel 3+
XDA community: please refrain from using this thread for complaints. Only posts your wishlist for ASUS to read. Once every day, I will consolidate all new wishlists and make them available in original post.
Beta testers: Request you to please bring this thread to attention of ASUS folks
ASUS: Please grant wishes!
Edit June 22nd: Added wishes 7 & 8.
Edit June 24th: Added wish 9.
Well, the NVFlash is being worked on according to Gary Key.
I'll take some Jelly Bean 4.1 instead of this 4.0.3 Asus keeps hacking on. Hey it's a wishlist right?

i highly doubt this would happen to
if they do, then people can send ideas to places and have things made cheaper and no body would buy things from asus cause 80% of the stuff there are over priced....
thats just what ithink tho =]
I'd love WiFi USB support, or if a decent dongle is released I'd be very interested in that. Everything else on the list (minus the dock connector details) I imagine would be a given, but I guess you never know.
I really hope that Jelly Bean will be supported.

Apple products have so many accessories... it just adds more value to the product. More bang for the buck. reason why ppl buy apple so much is that in every store you go to is flooded with accessories for apple.
I think ASUS would sell so many more tablets if buyer knew he had so many options. Just my opinion and a wish!
I know this can't be implemented on our Primes, but maybe on the Infinity or even future batches of the Transformer Pad 300...Bluetooth module in the keyboard dock!
This way the keyboard dock could be used wirelessly if need be. Hook Prime to TV or PC monitor and sit back on the couch and type away.

Right... not possible in my opinion as well. I thought about support for bluetooth dongles on the dock, but that would not work once the dock is seperated from the tablet. I don't think there is enough electronics withing the dock itself that will let it communicate with the tablet via bluetooth when seperated.
Kernel 3+ and Android Jelly Bean
Dont know why the wifi wasnt added to the GPS dongle, would have made sense, would be something i use every day.
Support for drivers for USB dongles is just not practical. Every device functions slightly differently. Each needs its own drivers to function. What SHOULD be done is android should have some standard with how it would interact with these devices and the manufacturers of each device could make android drivers for their devices. Asking for asus to make every wifi usb device work just isnt going to happen. Check the aformentioned thread, it will explain how to make your own drivers for your device. Good luck!
Lots of apps are available on the market to check the statuses of apps. I used to use one a while ago that would track damn near everything. Apps crashing is 90% the developers fault (different from the ANRs)
IO errors are caused by bad memory managment and slow system memory, as well as unoptimized code. Asus IS working on it, as we see with the numerous updates. There is only so much that can be done in software as much of the problems are hardware related.
There IS a partial pinout available, we know which pins are for charging, which supply power for USB devices, the USB channels for both 2.0 and 3.0, and there are some propitiatory pins for things like the keyboard dock or gps dongle. For anyone who wants to make their own USB charge dock it wouldnt be that hard to find the information if you just look. (hint i made a thread about it)
Again, any USB devices you plug in will have basic driver support. Anything beyond that ask the manufacturer for an app to instal drivers or compatability with android devices or make your own. Its not up to microsoft to make your usb game controller work on windows, its up to the manufacturer of the game controller to make sure the drivers are available so their device works on windows. Same thing goes for android, dont have ASUS take the blame because some third party hardware isnt compatable, its not their fault.
Finally, considering how little customization Asus put into their updates when JellyBean is available you can bet we will be getting it very soon. Just relax, it will come.
I think its good to have an idea of what you want but its bad to say Asus should have to give us this stuff when its not their responsibility to do so, and much of this stuff is already provided for you if you only looked.

Lots of useful information in the post... (apart from the last sentence.. )
Well, I am an android end-user. I have no clue on how to write a device driver (if it's as easy as you make it seem, howcome all the smarter ppl here cribbing about poor wifi!). I can't even root my tablet!
My wish was that I did not have to learn coding, in order to make this device more usable. And this is entirely reasonable wish. I use my windows laptop with a ton of devices, and i have no clue on how the operating system or the drivers are coded. It just works! why not android?
I believe there should be some standard for wifi USB devices follow... my wish was that ASUS also bakes in support for this standard/protocol with the operating system. (How about just doing it for ASUS wifi dongle!).
I did read the unofficial pinout thread earlier... well it's unofficial, and most pins are still not known. I am only wishing that pinout be made public, so that smart folks like yourself can build hardware that can really make prime more useful.
Finally, please read the original post as a wishlist and not an obligation for ASUS. My intention is to consolidate wishes from everyone on their primes, so if you also have a wish, just mention it, and i will add it to OP. ;-)
beta testers: it seems like we have consolidated all wishlists for prime. Hence request you to bring this thread to ASUS attention.
Many thanks!

Hi Everyone
I'm new to the forum so please go easy on me...
I have a few devices such as the one i will describe in this post that i would like to install a new ROM etc on to make them suit my needs and work the way i want them to work. I really have no idea where to start as i cant seem to find any info on these particular systems though its possible I am just asking the wrong questions. So if someone can help me to find what I need or point me in the right direction would be great!
I purchased about 10 different samples of ANDROID TV BOX's from China a few years back with the intention of selling them in my shop but none of them were very crash-hot so I canned the idea. A few of them actually had potential but annoyingly the hardware died very quickly. The software was quite well refined on those particular devices though. Anyway, I have finally got around to opening a few of them up that have decent hardware that are still working and checked out there internals. They have now become a learning project for me on the side. I have found a few little errors in the manufacturing process and fixed them up. Things like sloppy soldering etc. A huge blob of solder dropped onto the board and shorting out half of it surely didn't help its cause Now that's out of the way, I have taken a few photos of the hardware but it seems that i am unable to add them to my first post so it may have to be added at a later stage. The board has ANDROID TV-V1.02 2011.06.11 printed on it. It has a AMLogic AML8726-M A-E49968 QDWN008 processor. It has SD card input, 3 x full size USB, 1 x USB OTG, AV OUT, HDMI OUT, Ethernet Port and a REALTEK RTL8188CTV B8G25H1 G847L WIFI chip i assume. I will try to upload the images but if you need anymore info i can let you know straight away. The hardware probably isn't the greatest but it should serve me well for this project as it is bin material otherwise.
So, can anyone help me to find an appropriate kernal, rom, flashing utility and so on to run on this unit for the purpose of a TV BOX with also being able to play some games like clash of clans and be able to use google play services as you would on a smart phone? I don't need fancy features really. A Network media player/DLNA player would be awesome to play music and movies from my NAS. CHROME for browsing and the ability to download and install a few games like clash of clans and use my Google+ account to backup and even possibly purchase gems.
Or feel free to tell me if this is simply a waste of time hehe
Thanks for taking the time to read
Cheers
