Ready to donate $40.00 to whomever can help update / fix firmware / Bluetooth related - MTCB Software Development

Hello All-
I see there is SOOO much helpful information on here with regards to Android Car HU. As much as I don't mind reading I definitely do not want to brick my Unit. Here are the few items that I'd like to address:
Bluetooth streaming absolutely is terrible. Sounds distorted and not full range (compared to music that I have imported via USB) I did go into the factory settings to turn down the gain unfortunately it didn't have any positive effect In addition I would like to find an EQ that would allow more control over some of the lower frequencies. The stock EQ only goes to 62hz. I would absolutely love to find a DSP solution if there is / was one?
I'm going to try and attach the pictures of my build and model.

Happy trying
what kind of instructions are these? are you asking or telling?
Telling - this is one of the rumored ways to minimise the cracking whilst making the ringtones loud enough for you to hear out of your pants pocket. I use another setting that still causes the speaker to crack (but less so than setting everything on full blast), will try this when I get back home.
(On the subject of cracking speakers, tho - I found that the Atom's LEFT speaker is usually the culprit. The RIGHT speaker never has a problem. As a test you can cover the left speaker with your finger when playing any offending MP3.
The cracking's usually worse with the Atom plugged into USB - well, if you put something THAT close to the charger, it's bound to happen methinks.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the sound card, since I get excellent results via headphones.)
does this work also in ringtones when someone call`s not in preview i have atom exec and when equalizer is enebled it doesnt work only when reciewing call.
just use ringomobile and midi tones, especially the ones from Nokia tone, (strain.mid and message1.mid) that should feed your appetite for noise

Sound (OPAMP) upgrade ?

Hi guys, I am using my Athena mostly for GPS and music playback. While the Athena has better sound than most other PDAs that I've tried, I think there is still room for improvement. Does anyone know what sound chip (OPAMP) is used? And best can anyone show me a photo of the opamp? I think changing the opamp will improve the sound greatly, as I have tried that on various sound cards on my PC.
Thanks in advance!
well i think its a good idea!
The good old 741 is a decent little OPAMP, if you think you can improve the sound quality by swapping out surface mounted chips you will only ruin the hardware - forget the idea, where do you expect to get any software drivers for the more exotic chip sets? - Mike

Thanks Mike for the info. So you mean it uses a SOIC 741 op-amp? 741 is usually single channel, if I remember correctly. I have no problem replacing surface mount op-amps, as I have done for this sound card :

The original OPA2134UA were replaced by the 3 AD8620. I am hoping that the Athena uses the same SOIC op-amp then it will be easy to swap. I think the op-amp is in the analogue section and should not require any drivers.
I hope someone can show me a clear photo of the circuit board near the headphone output area. Then I will have a good idea whether the op-amp can be replaced.

[Q] Want to see the battery level of the bluetooth headset, any app ?

Hello,
Any application exists to show battery level of the bluetooth headset that is connected to Android device as dummy iphone does ? If not - where to find more info about this problem so some solution can be made under Linux first, than ported to Android ?
TIA
Rus
I'm also very interrested in such an app/widget
me too. I have a Plantronics 855 that lasts a long time, but it'd be cool to see the info on the phone.
me 2
Does it depend on the type of the Bluetooth headset?
Does it have to support showing battery level on the device?
Been looking for an answer to this question for quite some time. Anyone know what the apple app that does this is called?
I have also been looking for this kind of functionality. It's strange, my old sony-ericsson dumphone had this...
Anyway, please if someone knows of an app that can do this, feel free to share!
When my battery gets low on my Motorola Elite Sliver, I get a warning in the notification window. When I click on it the "Accessory Battery Status" screen opens. I think this is what you are wanting right? I would like to know how to get to it anytime, not just when the battery is low. At the top left there is a green phone icon, so I thought I could access it from the settings menu in the phone app, but I can't find it. I also checked the bluetooth settings, but can't find it there either. I am running the latest ICS leak on my Razr Maxx.

[Q] - Disable screen capture sound

I am on the ICS leak (and have been for a little over a month now)... currently on .211. I have searched and searched and cannot find the answer I am looking for... so thought I would post the question.
Is there a way to disable the sound the phone makes when you do a screen capture (PWR + VOL Dwn)? I followed the directions to disable the camera sound (outside of the camera application) but the sound still persist, even while the darn thing is on silent.
Any clues on how to disable the sound?

This is where you would start. Start by moving to SD. Don't delete. Remember what you did. If the sound doesn't exist in the system then it can't produce what isn't there.

Is that the only location where system sounds are located? When I was viewing that last night... nothing stood out as the click (except the camera click sound).
Yeah I guess going through each of em one by one is the only option. Grumble. If none of those work... I am at a loss then!
I just changed mine to the camera sound from a nexus and it changed my sound associated w my screenshot too. Maybe its just tied together. Other than silencing your phone and then taking a pic I don't know exactly how to break it from there
if you are using samsung galaxy s3, you could try silent screenshot instead. simple and cool.
