Nexus Q Unboxing: Ask me Questions - Nexus Q General

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om_zs5RdVT4&list=UU-eLUftcfe0H15rPAIR3DOA&index=1&feature=plcp
Over the next few days I'll really be testing this guy out. If there's anything specific you'd like to see/hear, let me know!

I saw a post yesterday of the NQ opening a game and possibly other apps through checking debug mode in the options. Can u post a video of this?

I detailed a bit of my own experience here:

How is sound quality? That will help me a lot in making my decision to jump for one. And do you think that something like this will have a long life span hardware wise?
Also, the big issue for me is the lack of NAS playback or a file explore... we know the guts can handle 1080p playback, but making it happen is a different question

Anybody grab a system dump?

Can you pull the Bootanimation. Would look sweet on our phones with some editing.

Can you control the audio outputs? I would like to have a set of speakers hooked up to the Q using the banana plugs and then hook an hdmi cable from the Q to the TV. I want to be able to control whether the sound comes out of the amp or through the HDMI.

Play Guitar through you phone app for Android?

Hi!
This might sounds silly but do you guys know if anyone is working on something like this for android?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nod69aTzsM
An app that makes your phone to a small guitar amp?
The iphone version has been out for a while but i cant find any info on a version for android..
The company behind iRig have been speaking about a android version but i dont think they even have started working on one yet.
It would be a really nice application! To allways be ready to record without setting up the computor and stuff like that ya know, or to just sit in the sofa with earplugs and play some sweet solos and riffs without having your gf whine about the loud music..
Found this dude trying to make something close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz-9mxWa2VA
Just checking if anyone knows anything?
Best regards and thx for all the awsomeness!
/Patrik
This would be awesome, I would definitely buy it. It's like a Line 6 pod but much cheaper.
I hope they're working on an android version. Android needs better quality apps.
Also, it's more of a multi-effect pedal than an amp. Just letting you know
I actually sent then a message on youtube to see if they were working on one. This is what I got.
This is the Mac/PC version. If you look at our AmpliTube iRig playlist you'll find the iPhone version. We're currently looking at the platform but do not have any versions for Android.

Yeah, multi-effect pedal.
Imageing all the fine stuff you could do with it!
You could use it as an effect to plug in to your amp. (maby quite alot of effects, if you can make your own sounds. And with new developing you never have to buy a new effect-pedal again.. ).
A strummer for electric guitar in the studio/rehearsal place.
Play with earplugs on the sofa.
and so on...
I'll buy!!
it needs dedicated hardware don't forget (about 10 seconds in on the video)
your phone only has one 3.5mm jack plug...and you need to plug a guitar into it and an amp into it too.
also, what happens if you've got your amp turned up to 11 and then you get a phone call?

I am amazed that this can be done on the iPhone but not on Android.
There is another program called Ghettoamp on the market, though the devloper admits that there is still latency (he records, then processes the sound input). 20ms I think.

Why can't it be done for android? This app is really cool.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It should be possible...
Android phones definitely have the processing power to do this. The only real problem is you're input and outputs on your phone, there's really only one... the 3.5 mm jack...
But there's maybe a way around this. And I'm not an engineer or developer or genius of any kind I'm just saying what I think should be at least possible... Everyone knows AD2P Bluetooth right? You could get you're input through it.
You use the microphone of a bluetooth headset, but instead of the microphone, you get your input from you're amp/guitar/whatever... could it be as simple as soldering a headphone jack to the PCB connections on a bluetooth headset? Dunno but let's asume it's possible.
Then you connect your phone to the headset, and you've got input... Great.
The problem now is that I don't know what android does when it has a bluetooth headset AND a normal set of earphones... Does it play from both, does it by default choose, I don't know... Say you still get output from the headphones, you could easily get the output to any speakers, seems rather pointless to use the phone's loudspeaker... This part from bluetooth input to audio jack output will maybe need a modified audio driver or something...
Once you've got input into the phone and output out of the phone, you would like to have some effects and/or amplification right? That's the point isn't it? I know nothing about programming such things but maybe a few developers who do will stumble onto this thread and share their expertise...
Once again it should be possible, but for just anyone to do this it'll be very challenging, more likely and hopefully companies like Gibson or Marshall or Ibanez (their Japanese, and this seems like a Japanese thing to do) for instance will see the need for something like this, and get working on it... If they make something like that and it works well, it'll make a LOT of money... For instance after you've bought this device, they could SELL effects, to be downloaded on a sort of 'plugin-basis'. And once one company does it, all will have some variant of the concept. I know I'd buy this...
Edit: Read about the apparent latency issue that Android has... So I don't know if it's that possible just yet, maybe ICS has bettered this flaw in previous Android versions, one can only hope...
Sorry for refreshing this thread, but I'm curious if there is such app for android available right now?

You are thinking much too complicated.
The headphone jack of phones contains another pin for the microphone. A small jumper cable can be used that allows the connection of a guitar and headphones. Check out Amplitube iRig for an example.
(this type of jack is used so you can plug in a headset with microphone)
Bluetooth or something would be nice... but the latency wouldn't be, and that is exactly the problem.. Android has too much latency,
Look:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434
Android is not capable of this because the way it handles audio is completely wrong. More recent devices have less latency but still too much. The problem lies very deep. It is a problem for game developers too. Please star this issue if you want Google to do something about it!

How about USB OTG connected to a Rocksmith USB connection?...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
The Irig will work fine for this you dont need bluetooth aor usb adding yet another layer of BS to the audio streams round trip. however now that JB is out latancy is stitting around 10-12ms on adevice such as the galaxy nexus wich is completely usable (1ms of latancy = 1foot from your amp) so 12ms would be like playing 12 feet from your amp,
If you cant play like this then on stage will never work for you.
As a side note usb audio is apparently supported in JB as well now
There are now a couple of apps on Android that at least have a range of guitar effects. Delay Effects Plus (via headphone type cable) and usbEffects (USB OTG) both have an option to use Native Audio, so if you have the Galaxy Nexus running JB the latency is quite reasonable (50-70 mSec). If you have a modded ROM you may get lower latency without Native Audio option as they both read the buffer size from the OS. Of course for everyone else the latency is still an issue and varies from device to device. So to those that said they would buy .... please do!
This very issue has put me on the fence on what kind of tablet I buy. Cannot decide between note, and Ipad 3. The accessories and ItunesU has been one of the biggest attractions for me.
Litlle heads up: in their latest newsletter IK Multimedia (of Amplitube) post a few job openings, one of them being "Android App Developer"!
So they are at least working on something..

With HDMI out, obviously, but I was also hoping for digital out over usb, like in the car's usb port. I doubt these car controllers know what to do with that connection, unless you can put it into mass storage mode and treat it like a flash drive.

So I traced this out, seems like it has been dead in the water since nVidia bought portalplayer in 2007. Kicking around on the rockbox wiki, I found this android port:
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AndroidPort
I read through forums, searched, and looks like an apk for qHD needs to be developed yet. Would like to be wrong. Anyone have info on this?
I hate to dig up an old thread, but this is kinda what I was hoping for. I'm in the process of building a "portable" device that would have a Digital port interface, feeding professional DAC and HiFi headphone amplifier. Never actually tried to connect a phone to a receiver with HDMI connector, but it should work, bypassing phone's DAC and feeding digital PCM signal to external device.
As far as BlueTooth connection goes (for the last poster), then if you are looking for good quality, looks somewhere else. Bluetooth compresses the sound on the fly before sending it to the paired device. For some it might be unnoticable, but to me it is unbearable.
According to http://www.head-fi.org/t/549644/motorola-atrix-sound-quality, it is a Wolfson 8903 L. From what I have read, everything points to the Atrix and the Tegra 2 using a Wolfson DAC. Don't forget that the amp and preamp are just as important to sound quality. Supposedly, ICS may support USB DACs.

Wrong,
Just contacted ('PCWAR'), he said he is unsure, he saw such info on xda forums.
WM8903L is made for Harmony Tegra 2, or tablet Tegra 2.
All Tegra 2 Ventanna uses WM8994 DAC
Yay, we've got the highest end DAC, par with the S3 and Note 2 except bit higher stereo crosstalk.

[Q] Tv-output on Ace

hi
is anybady had tried that Tv-output working on Ace
There should be a way..
Thanks for bringing this up, well, I thought about it, and contacted Samsung regarding that, and the short answer for this was NO, Ace does not do tv-out
Now, we know that the 3.5mm audio jack has 4 contacts used for ground, mic (in), left channel (out), , right channel (out), I thought there should be a way to use one of the channels to send 'video' information rather than audio, the problem is, these are used for audio and we need to modulate audio frequencies to carry video signals via a software (app).
For ordinary NTSC video the bandwidth is about 4 MHz. So we'd need a higher frequency carrier than that to convey it, so it's very difficult, sending anything close to full-motion video through the phone's audio connection is not possible (theoretically). The audio bandwidth is not sufficient to carry such a signal.
But there's hope (i think), afaik, "radiofacsimile", and "slow scan TV", send video info via audio channels, the thing is they are so slow, i.e. with low frame rate (really low) this should be technically possible, and this is enough for some applications like displaying still pictures or slides on a large screen.
What I'm suggesting here, if there is a good developer who can develop a simple Android (or whatever) app that takes a snapshot of the screen, creates a corresponding video signal, convert it to wave, then send it via one of the audio channels on the phone, and using an 3.5mm-to-RCA cable (like the one used for Nokia handsets) the audio can be used to deliver the message to the TV or sth, there is another option which is to use the micro-USB port which can handle better signals, but that's digital, but again, there is a micro-USB-to-HDMI cables, and we can use one of them, and here we can send audio and video, so software can solve this, I can start building this kind of app but I'm not that good with mobile development, so if anyone is interested, lets do it! this would not be for Ace only but for many other gadgets..
I also heard that there's a custom ROM that can use the audio port for similar purpose, not sure if that's really possible, or if it's really true, Galaxy S can do that btw.
just a thought can it be done through usb?... i mean there are tv's and players which supports usb inputs like sdcards, pendrives.. but i guess this thing would be limited to playing videos on our sd cards.. (like we play the music through aux in ports).. and not the total output of our phone's display...
can anyone test the normal video playing through usb cable... i don't have a tv or player with usb support..
Hey guys jus found thid video on one on the website...d guy was able to have an tv output on ace here is the video

There is a lag between devices because its usb not HDMI

Android Tablet as PS3 Monitor?

Ok guys, I have done some hunting on the internet for a way to use my Android Tablet as a display for my PS3.
Now I am sure some of you are thinking "That's an effing great idea blorenzo, you are so awesome and wise" while others are thinking "why do you want to do that?"
To put it simply, for example say I am playing PS3 in my room (where my PS3 is located) but feel the sudden urge to defecate (take a ****) I can bring my Tablet into the bathroom with me, prop it on something and keep playing. (This is literally the event that gave me this idea)
On top of that say I want to play PS3 in the living room but am not in the mood to bring the entire unit downstairs, I can bring down my Tablet and plug it into the TV and boom! Or better yet say my girl wants me to watch a TV show with her that I am not into (Jersey Shore) then I can bring down my tablet and a PS3 controller (bluetooth reaches for me) and pretend I'm browsing the internet while I am really playing Killzone online.
You see in that situation it is a win/win, she thinks I'm spending time with her and I am actually having a blast killing people. I am sure there are many more uses for such an application and I could list them endlessly.
If it exists already someone point me in that direction if it doesn't... I think someone has ALOT of work ahead of them.
That's really a lot of work. Would the ps3 have built in drivers to transmit image through bluetooth? I think no, you'd need a modded ps3.

The WiiU plans on doing it...
Brothers if history has taught us anything its, when there is a will there is a way!
Lets think about this... (I'm not trying to be sarcastic or rude in anyway, I was simply asking these questions out loud to myself)
Are there Android Tablets that Support USB connections? Yes.
Is it possible to receive a video stream via USB? Yes.
So would it theoretically be possible utilizing some sort of USB Dongle? Or HDMI to USB Dongle?
reverse engineer the psp play functionality, does exactly this, right?

Ya that's what I was thinking, I remember checking out my PS3 stuff through my PSP (Checking messages and stuff) on any wifi network, but it was pretty slow and limited, no games or really anything other than the web browser and messsage box. Maybe there will be something better with the PS Vita.

this guy here seem to have done what you want http://ps3maven.com/portable-ps3-mod/ and to everybody who said it cant be done in your face
to do this with an android tablet you would need two things:
1. you would need a wireless HDMI bridge (they're expensive, but something like this: http://goo.gl/z53fL)
2. You would need someone to make a mod/app for the tablet to convert HDMI out port into an HDMI in port. This would be done in either via an app or a mod to the actual kernel and how it uses the HDMI port. AFAIK most android tablets have an Mini HDMI port on them.
Doing these two things would give you wireless signal to your tablet anywhere that is within range of the HDMI bridge.
Nice, thanks for the reply's guys and now we know for a fact that its not impossible. If we only had a Dev who could see that this would be an awesome application for a tablet and come up with a way to achieve it.
Or Sony could just release this app officially, I would gladly pay for it.
I guess I will continue to dream...
I think HDMI in for a android tablet would be sweet! Think of taking car trips with a xbox or ps3. Or any of the many other devices you could plug in!

i have limited background in this, but was looking for the same thing. and everyone is saying it is not possible. Bluetooth is entirely plausible... plus the bandwith is **** so the image would either look good, but have about 2 frames a minute, or look like **** and be mostly playable. however, the PSP and PS Vita can do something similar over the network. if someone can rip the "Remote Play" bit out of a vita, and toss it in some sort of emulator, it might work. but the PS3 controller would likely have to be connected to the tablet.
Tablet PS3 monitor - The easy way!
Really...
If you have a PC with a video in PCI card (maybe if you don't mind the bad quality you could use a webcam even) plug your audio, and video from your PS3 to your computer. Use VLC to stream the incoming video and audio over your LAN in a format that your tablet can play. Play the stream via the media player on your tablet. Done.

I was actually thinking of a device that did the same thing (PS3 or other video source to tablet). Have you found any products like this out there yet?
I understand what AmnzeroCorrosion is saying as to how that path may work, but I think this glosses over some technical challenges. Using most video capture cards will introduce latency b/c most video capture cards encode to MPEG. While being very efficient in bandwidth usage, MPEG uses interframe comrpession so it takes a couple frames of video being input before the first frame can be sent over the network. Couple that with network delays and the latency only increases. I wouldnt see it taking much before the latency of the setup would make it unbearable for fast twitch games.
I would be extremely interested to know if this has been tackled already.
Idisplay might work
I was googling on it and found Idisplay application. Not sure if anyone tried on it, but i am planning to use it for my PS3 and LG 3D Android mobile.
If already anyone use then welcome to share experience.

seems to be a great idea, i think it should be possible ..........

MHL Lag

So, I picked up the samsung smart dock to play emulators, games, etc. but I'm getting some pretty bad lag.
Its not choppy, just delayed from what I see on the TV.
I've tried enabling game mode on my TV so the post processing is disabled, and I've tried just using a plain LCD monitor but the lag is still there.
Recently, I switched to the beans rom and that helped the lag a lot, but, its not quite gone.
I noticed that in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712902 a kernel dev was able to change the refresh rate to get rid of the lag.
Do any of you know of any other ways to get rid of the lag or should I wait to see if a dev here incorporates something similar?
If an dev here can't fix it, then its impossible lol.
Ok OP I have the official MHL adapter on it's way to my house as we speak, hopefully it gets here in the beginning of next week so I can test and confirm what the problem is.
The post you linked to describes a refresh rate issue, which is not the same as lag. What's happening for that guy is his screen output is being capped at 24 fps which is horrible for gaming/interaction.
Once I get mine hooked up and tested on my monitor I will be able to confirm exactly what the phone is outputting and from there we can see what needs to be fixed.
I thought so, but, wanted to be sure.
Thanks for taking a look at the issue, any help is appreciated!
What I've experienced, is that on stock, lag was terrible, close to 500ms.
On CleanROM 4.0.5, it wasn't much better.
On Beans it was much better, closer to 100-200ms.
I haven't tested with my S3 yet, but I suspect there may be similar lag since the hardware is similar.
Are you sure it is not the TV? I'm not familiar with MHL but maybe it is a defective dock.

It's not the TV, verified with various other inputs, Xbox and PC on HDMI. I also verified the galaxy with a separate LCD with no post processing abilities using the official Samsung MHL adapter.
