Hello all,
I'm looking for somthing but I don't know if it exists. I want a holder for my Herald in my car. The holder should have a charger, a gps and a handsfree option.
Why?
Because I want to get in my car, put my Herald in the standard and drive. When I drive I want the Herald to be charged, be able to make handsfree phonecalls AND have the option to use TomTom 6 (which is installed om my Herald)
Does anyone know if something like that exists? I could find it.
Noone? DOes it exist or is there no interest?
Google????
e.g.

Could you read my first post please? I'm not looking for 'just a handsfree set'. I'm looking for a handsfree set that has GPS integrated.
Thanks.

this was only a hint.
and please keep up respect!!!!
I meant no more disprespect then your 'Google??' remark. What made you think I didn't use Google before I posted here?
I simply asked this question because:
1. Perhaps other people have been searching like me and found something (or nothing)
2. Manufacturers might look at this forum and find it a good idea to make something like this.
With upmost respect,
Richard.
sorry. but after 1000post. i read a lot here.
and yes often people forget to use goole.
i just wanted to help. .... but i guess with this well coosen words you will have a long carreer in xda-dev forum - haha
keep head up. just kidding
Kein problem, schon gut
I would suggest a Brodit active holder, combined with a Parrot CK3300. The active holder will charge the phone for you. You can then either get a connected GPS adapter and connect that to the active holder and buy a separate Bluetooth carkit, or you can buy a Bluetooth carkit with GPS built-in such as the CK3300.
Personnly, I'm using a passive holder combined with the CK3300. It has everything you need (carkit + GPS) except for the charging. I have a separate charging cable for long trips.
Thanks! That's what I'm looking for!

Well, finally...? Damn, just as I finish mine.
Hy Guys.
Got the Flyer of the Carkit a little bit bigger.
Take a look at
http://stefan-bauer.net/xda_carkit.pdf
There you can watch it.
Seems to be a real Carkit from O2. But it´s a little bit expensive with 199€. Only Interessting is the Radio mute. Rest should be easy to make self.

Stefan
Hmm, looks like it's made by a third party. The price isn't so bad if it really works well and has a lot of features.
In holland u can get generic xda carkits @

Car Kit Nederland
HI!
I am from West-Germany near the Netherland, an I would got to the Netherlands and look at this Car Kit.
I would replay when I see it. May be I buy it and test it.
If its possible this weekend...
Stay tuned!
Stevie
The carkit for the xda from Destinator is a generic carkit, and comes with a custom mounting bracket for your type of car. The kit does not have a charger build in, but it's possible to buy it as an option. Another option is handsfree calling over the car radio speaker, with the use of a FM-modulator. Destinator sells all these products, and here is the direct link to the xda page. http://www.formdesk.nl/scs/DAXDA hope this helps u guy a bit, but if u really need more help, let me know.
Car Kit -> Stoelman
Hi!
I've emailed with the distributor, but want I not understand is the think with BTW 19%. Once OK, but twice???
And I don't understand that, which kabel is on the standard set?
I want to put it on my GPS, Audio, and Power. Must I buy another kabel?
And I've I understand the Nederlands language right, that I could order it without the car specific proclip and could subtract 24 Euro?
Is all this right??
Thanks
Stefan -> from Aachen
Car Kit Netherlands
The Car Kit from Destinator is OK!
It's a lttle expensive but the XDA fits in perfectly and you can build your own cable. Well I've bought only the holder, no cable or prokit (fpr ex.car)
the price was about 55 €uro (without post).
I think ist better to take this, and not a cradle... (Sorry Carlos :evil: )
Stevie
Since most links mentioned above don't work, does anybody know if this Carkit can also be used for the MDA-II?

No the XDA-I Carkit doesn't fits the MDA-II
Goto www.destinator.nl, enter section "nieuws" (news) and click on news of 12-11-2003 to find the itemnumbers for XDA-II.
Order one of the Brodit/Destinator carkits for XDA-II with proclip and the Parrot CK3000 handsfree buetooth set. This combination is very usefull set for your MDA-II (XDA-II, Qtek 2020).

You could look at the specs of the TyTN on various online stores....
You could have used Google....
You could have searched this forum...
But since you didn't: NO
Your Hermes does not have a GPS antenna. According to several threads on this forum, the hermes was only 'partially' prepared for GPS. Some hardware seems to be in place, but the crucial antenna is lacking.
So in order to get GPS on your hermes, you should buy an external (bluetooth eg) gps receiver.
/* edit
Or buy a Kaiser (TyTN II)...
*/
Sorry
i haved searched in google and this forum but some times i see "yes i do it im my device" and some times.. "in my device i dont can do it"... then i thing some device have and anothers not have....my device is a Softbank X01ht...
thx for help
Antenna missing plus chip effectively crippled by HTC.
Fixing is not a nice job even if theoretically a maybe.
AFAIK not even the hardcore "because I can" developers have tried it.
it's easier to simply buy a bluetooth gps... OR upgrade to kaiser if your contract permits or you have a lot of cash.

Well since both methods are just a purchase, they would be the same
But if you dont wanna drag around a bluetooth gps (and u gots the dough) go for the Kaiser. Built in is always better.
A friend wanted to know if he could use his android tablet as a headset, and after some searching it looks like quite a few people would like this.
So I was sondering if this is possible, I am new to Android development and I have been playing around with the Bluetooth samples and cannot seem to figure out how to make other devices see Android as a headset.
So my main question is- Is it possible to make a app that would disguise an android device as a headset so it could receive calls and maybe even dial number?
I would like to clarify that I am not asking anyone to make this program, I am just a curious developer that would like to know if this is even possible with the Android SDK
The main use if i make this app is for people who can't afford the data plan that is required when buying a smartphone from a carrier. So if this person has a small android MID they can pair it with their dumb phone and essentially use their MID as a phone.
I am searching for the same thing too. Any ideas?
im searching the same without luck!
yup, i brought this back from the dead because I'd love to have this work. I'm currently in a project to integrate my tablet in my car and having the tablet show up to the phone as a bluetooth handsfree/headset is quite literally the last piece of the puzzle for me.
If OEM headunits and nav units can do it (phonebook, dialing, texting, etc) then two android devices should be able to do it even easier. I cant believe no one figured this out yet honestly.
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums & Read the Forum Rules
Moving to Q&A
I'm in the same boat. Planning to use an Acer Iconia a100 as my car stereo\sat nav\head unit. Until I find a way to have it seamlessly pair with my phone, I'm kinda stuck. Cheap 'ol Walmart head units will do it, but an Android tablets seems to be totally unable to function as a handsfree.
I'm unfamiliar with the bluetooth stack, but I'm thinking that the software is altered to work with specific hardware, so a universal app to enable a tablet to act as a handsfree unit might not be a simple matter. If anyone comes up with one, I'll pay for it gladly. If there is a bounty out there, I'll pitch in on that, too.
Hi, folks!
Sorry for the duplicate post in the wrong forum, this here should be the right one.
So to the topic itself:
My old laptop is nearing the end of its lifecycle and now its soundcard got busted and I can't find a way to get it working again.
I could go to a shop to buy an USB-soundcard, but that would be
a) too easy and
b) waste of resources
- as I'm aiming to buy a new laptop soon enough. But until that time I need to hear some sound from the box anyway (some music, some movies and some training videos) so I wonder if it's possible to use the HD2 as a soundcard and get the audio output from its 3,5mm jack. Either by bluetooth or cable connection..
Is there a specific application for this?
phone is running stock winmo 6.5
pc is win7ultimate in intel T7700:2x2.4GHz/4GbRam/500GbHDD box, BT enabled.
Any ideas how it could be done?
Thanks a lot!
Heard of no apps for WM or Android for this type of function.
A USB soundcard can be posted to your door for less than $3 so outlay for a simple fix is minimal but I do like your resourceful approach & hankering for a challenge ...

Damn. I was already hoping. So I'll have to drop by a tech store. I do so dislike buying stuff I know I don't need for a long time. And pity, because HD2 produces better audio than my computer ever did (to the headphones)
But thanks for the info anyway.

Give it a while for a few more opinions before you head off to a hardware stall ...
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?
