XDA to interface to OBD-II - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

I recently had the check engine light in my truck come on. I thought it would be nice if there was an interface for my XDA that could read the OBD-II codes so I did some online searching.
I was impressed with the number of products that are available. For instance, Autologic has a nice interface at http://www.autologicco.com/pocketline/pocketobd.shtm and there are many others so I was wondering if anyone here has had and experience using their XDA to interface with OBD-II?

HTC Evo 3d sense ui

I have read that the bluetooth stack is not same as og evo. I am curious if anyone had info on this. If it its true it might and I stress might allow us to use bt devices such as wii or ps3 controllers. Now with full hdmi mirroring this could make for the ultimate gaming phone for those into emulation. What are ur thoughts?

Sheer joy, if it's true.
Any knowledge or opinions would be much appreciated.

i use a wiimote on my evo4g now. Just have to run an AOSP rom not SENSE.
I love the idea of emulating from my phone like I do now, playing Final Fantasy 3/6, 7, Tactics with a wiimote is already epic on the phone, couldn't imagine on a huge TV so easily now too. I ned a tv worth it though.
I have not found any custom roms I trust enough to void my warranty for. I have ran cm6 and cm7 and I did like them but as many phones as I have went through especially my hero last year ill stick with stock sense and hope evo 3d will allow such bt devices such as wii or ps3 remotes to work

what does the thread title and the OP have to do with each other?
The Evo 4G supports bluetooth profiles like A2DP for wireless stereo headsets, and FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfers. But when it comes to connecting an interface device, it does not support bluetooth HID (human interface device) profiles. It only supports SPP (serial port protocal).
Which is why things like the MSI BGP100, and the FreedomPro Keyboard work with it. Both of these devices use SPP bluetooth profiles. Drivers were created and released in the market, and a stock Evo 4G can connect to these.
Everyone blamed the HTC Sense interface for why we couldn't connect HID devices, (Wii Mote, and several keyboards, mice, etc). Which is why the OP mentions Sense 3D, because he still thinks it was sense that did it. It wasn't actually Sense that did it. HTC just never built bluetooth HID profiles into the phone.
AOSP roms don't have sense, but they are also built from ground 0, so they have HID profiles built into them. A lot of people have mistakenly thought that it was taking Sense completely out, that brought bluetooth HID back in, but it was really just coincidence.
For example, iPhones don't come with HID profiles, but someone in Cydia released an app that alters the bluetooth stack for you, and adds additional profiles. Theoretically, someone could have done this for the Evo 4G, but no one has yet.
That being said, I have seen several sites, including HTC's own, showing bluetooth HID under the specs for the Evo 3D. This isn't something I was ever able to find for the Evo 4G.
Don't quote me on it, but I am banking on all the WiiMote apps, bluetooth keyboard apps, and any other bluetooth input device, working properly with the Evo 3D right out of the box.
Thank you bradley. that is exactly what I was curious about. u answered my question and educated me at same time. that was much appreciated.

[Q] Presentation using galaxy tab 10.1

Hi All,
Wonder if some of you uses galaxy tab 10.1 for business purpose as well, specifically presentation. I only know it is possible from the commercial, but unsure whether that fits to day to day scenario or not.
Could you share your experiences? Connections (cables needed), display setting, etc.?
Is the quick office (or polaris?) good enough to replace power point?
Many thanks..
Try Slashtop Remote Desktop HD
Its HD desktop sharing from a Windows running machine and works quite good.
I've used it a few times to show product flyers as well as PDF presentation's. Works great and impresses my audience every time.

[Q] Mk808 mini PC's

Hi all,
I've been reading about these mini android PC's that are similar in size to a flash drive that plug in to the HD socket on the TV.
They really appeal to me as I'm not upgrading my TV for a while and this would allow me to have similar functions to some of the smart TV's like wifi and streaming etc, not to mention so sweet apps!
I had a look around but can't see anywhere on XDA forums for development on these devices - I'm too new to use the search bar, apparently, so apologies if I missed it! Or if there's someone who has one that can offer some reliable feedback / review I'd appreciate it!
Thanks.

Pioneer Android Media Control

Hey guys,
Looking at getting a new head unit for my truck, and I saw that Pioneer had some that used Android Media Control through the USB, and I just wondered if anyone had used it and knew how well it worked.
I just had some questions like does it recognize playlists and stuff like that. Especially if I'm using something like doubleTwist to sync my music to my phone.
Or am I just better off using bluetooth?

The app radio and app radio 2 look pretty good when connected to HTC sense phones.

I don't mean the App Radio 2, those are expensive.
I'm just talking about their usb interface. I'm wondering if it'll recognize playlists and stuff from non-OEM music players, or if it just uses the file system to play music. I always hated using it that way, because you could never organize your music, unless you put everything into separate folders. And that's a pain in the @$$.
Here is the deck that I'm looking at:
Pioneer FH-X700BT
Bump.
Anyone got any experiences with newer Pioneer, Android, and how the well the deck works over USB?

App radio 2 is bad ass. Picked it up at Best Buy for $250 brand new. Since Pioneer is pushing out the 3 now, the 2 is hard to find for a deal but I have seen them out there. Full HDMI mirroring with touch imput. Cant beat it.
I've got a AVH-P1400DVD and it used to work like a usb drive. It also read all the files, so any ringtones or sounds would be thrown in the mix. I've heard the newer models have better Android support, but I own an iPod just for the car. Unfortunately, nobody has mastered Apple's integration... yet.
App radio also supports iPhone/iPod. Check out appradioforums.com

Remote Dialer for the Note 3

My stereo Bluetooth earphones of two years is giving up with a charge not lasting as it use to. So naturally I was keeping my eye out for something with more features but nothing that I'd cry about.
The Sony Bluetooth sets have some extra features other than there's usual remote control buttons like text display, an ear speaker but cost more than US$100.
Enter a local Philippine brand, Cherry Mobile which offers a small sized basic phone called P1 that bluetooth pairs with your better Android device to remote access your calls, SMS, audio media, and itself is a basic phone with its own SIM card. It retails for only Php 799 (US $18.16).
It works with the Galaxy Note 3 on Jellybeans 4.3 without the need to install extra software. It uses the Message Access Profile or MAP usually used for current car radios for calls and SMS for your smartphone.
Key features:
*A smartphone remote dialer
Smartphone SMS viewer (Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) needed)
*Single regular SIM card
*Dual band GSM 900/1800 Mhz
*1.77 " LCD @ 176 X 220 pixels
*VGA camera
*FM Radio
*Music Player
*Bluetooth 3.0
*Built-in battery
*Micro SD slot up to 4GB only
*Available in 4 colors - white, light blue, orange and red
*54 x 89 x 10 mm (with buttons slightly protruding)
*No specs on battery or weight
Pros
*Acts as a secondary phone and remotes your Android device for answering and making calls and SMS
*Decoy device where you shouldn't be flashing your more expensive or larger Android device
*Acts as bluetooth audio for your main device
*Compact and light
Cons
*No thrills plastic build with 1990s inexpensive cellphone design (but that maybe a good thing)
*Basic dumbphone with all low end features with no wifi access or Internet capabilities, or social networks and email notifications
*No 3.5mm earphone jack, and only takes micro USB earphones which is NOT provided
*Sound only comes from the ear speaker and is low quality
*Built-in battery with no user replacement
Okay, the P1 doesn't aim to give any visible first good impression. It looks cheaper than any of the current low end basic Nokia phone. The P1's choices of colors of light blue, cherry red, Vermillion (orange) and white aren't exactly attractive either. I got the less atrocious white. Its buttons are made of hard translucent jelly with strange dotted text styled numbers and small crate numbering styled letters, but they won't be fade away like past generic 2G phone devices of late 1990s.
Don't hold your breath on the VGA camera too. It'd probably be OK for some quick urgent pictures... if you navigate to the camera function quickly enough. You'll need to place a micro SD card for this to work.
The P1 doesn't have a regular 3.5mm jack for audio. It only has a micro USB for you to plug in old earphone or adapters for your usual earphones with this connection socket. The FM radio will not work at all without a wired audio as it uses the wire as an antenna. Don't expect stellar audio quality as your main Android device.
Conclusion
It's as tiny as my extra battery case. for my Note 3. The unspecified battery seems to be decent enough to last the entire day connected. The P1 is unapologetically unattractive, but it's a perfect compliment to the Note 3.
Well, you'll get the FM radio receiver missing in the Note 3, and it's functions surpass that of any Bluetooth earphones. You can probably put in that 2nd SIM card of a different network for signal differences when you need to make that call.
The remote dialer and sms functions are probably the main features to get the P1 for those less appealing places. This is the first I have heard of of such a device. No guarantees in keeping you from harm, but at least it gives less reasons for anyone to stop you on the lonely streets seeing you using an expensive device. It would be a selling point for other established brands out there to add a MAP feature on their dumbphones. They'd make a killing.

I am still on JB 4.3 and I can remote the SMS functions of the Note 3 using the P1. You can also make and get calls via P1.
Other known brand that works is with LG G2. You can test it when getting.
I tested the P1 with iPhone 5s, and never worked with it. Not a surprise.

I got this from the Philippines. Some China made cellphone, then rebranded for local sale. No other models have this remote dialer and Bluetooth SMS features.
Staggering battery stamina, with continuous 9 hours of actual battery with streaming music from my Note 3.

More like a dumb phone for your smartphone. It's my bluetooth earpiece most of the time when I play media from my Note 3. For what it can do and the fraction of the price of a brand bluetooth earpiece, the P1 is superior.

Is there a way to dump the rom/application/apk and use it in other android phones? (bluetooth sms/call stuff)

P1 is not an Android phone. I saw an MAP app at PlayStore but costs more than $10! I didn't bother since the P1 serves is purpose as a inexpensive decoy which will not likely attract much attention.
You wouldn't be also able to listen streaming media or remote the Note 3 like the P1 can. It has replaced my bluetooth stereo earpiece set entirely.

Yup, audio and calls work on the iPhone only. SMS doesn't. I really wouldn't expect much from Cherry Mobile for updates. They can't even update their product site!
P1 just really is simple. Gives longer than Bluetooth earphones can. Texting is a ***** again from before smartphones came out.
How come no one can post a link of where to buy this phone from?
