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.

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.

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?

hey guys, i recently got a micro USB to full size adapter in hopes that i could run a generic game pad or flash drive to my DX2.. i understand the phone doesnt openly support OTG mode, but is there any way a ROM could potentially enable this for us? maybe by porting over (so to speak) the technology used in 3.1 which allows game pads?
1.) i am aware this question has been asked before (albeit, only a few times), i just want more awareness for this as i know of a lot of people who would find this feature to be most enjoyable.
2.) i know we can use a wiimote, but there are a lot of people out there who dont have a Wii and dont want to buy a wiimote that they can only use on their phone. This would enable everyone with a PS3/wired xbox controller/generic game pad/usb keyboard (a much larger percentage of people than the wiimote alone) to fully enjoy emulators on their phone.
if any devs are reading this, become a God in the android community and get us wired gamepad support! or if anyone else feels like i do, sound off and help get this feature recognized
That would be very nice. I happen to have a usb hub for ps2 controllers.

Hey XDA, it's been a while,
I need a new phone and was considering buying the Atrix and a lapdock for taking notes during lectures. I thought this would be a good idea considering how portable the lapdock is and how many books are in my bag. I already have a beast Core i7 system at home so that's where I would be typing essays, doing research, etc. But for lectures all I really need is some sort of word processing app.
I've been reading mixed things about tethering and lapdock usage though and I don't know that I fully understand what is going on. My phone plan currently does not have any data at all and I am not interested in tethering, just wifi use now and then. Also, I am on T-Mobile.
So my questions are:
-Is this a good choice for portable, note taking?
-Do I need some sort of data plan or AT&T specific tethering plan in order for me to use this at all?
-Can I still use this if I unlock it to T-Mobile?
Oh, and thanks in advance!
Sure, this would be decent option - just keep it in airplane mode and turn on wifi manually when you have access.
Use any of the word processing/not taking apps and you could even record the audio of the speaker/prof to review later.
Get you a decent sized SD card to store that audio though!
Good luck and NEVER stop learning.
I may be wrong, but i thought the apps for webtop were web based? So if you don't at least have wifi in the class you won't be able to take notes. At least that's what I think, I dont have a lapdock so I'm not sure. But if I am, you could always download a note taking app on the phone and the just access the phone screen from the lapdock and take notes in the app. Hope I helped!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
No, not necessarily, but you could mod webtop following some of the guides and get you openoffice.
However, you can use the mobile view and use one of the Android note taking apps fullscreen.

Words of wisdom!!!
Thanks for the the feedback, everyone. It's sounding like this might be a great way to go. I was looking at specs and carrying this thing around will be so much better than lugging my 16" cinderblock laptop around in my backpack.
So is webtop an app that is installed on the Atrix itself or is it an "OS" that is built into the lapdock? This is sort of confusing because isn't the lapdock essentially just a screen and keyboard, for the mobile device, without a CPU, GPU, memory, etc?
Also, does the "mobile view" just stretch the tiny screen onto the larger screen or does it actually take advantage of the increased screen size? Hopefully that question makes sense.
Even if I can't use webtop or webtop apps without a web connection, it's sounding like (thanks to xda devs) there is still a lot of functionality in this system. At home I've been dual booting Windows and Ubuntu for ages now so I'm a huge fan of Open Office so that's great news for me.

+1 here too. Took the words right out of my mouth. I will add that it makes my bookbag lighter for carrying around my stuff for college. I actually like all the looks I get when i use it since its not the common. People make the best comments ever.
true the apps are web based but when you open quick office or quick office pro you can use it to take notes and stuff you dont need internet.Also you can save this and edit it and polish it up at home on your pc.
I recommend you mod your webtop to a full Ubuntu jaunty installation with xfce4. Like that you will have to stop wandering what it does, because it'll do nearly everything you would expect a laptop to do. I don't know how into modding you are, but check these forums, plenty of info out there

Can you do that?! Modding isn't an issue for me. Especially since most of the guides on XDA are pretty much idiot proof. But won't Ubuntu run slowly? Is it even stable?
I'm still not sure how the webtop app works. Is it built into the lapdock or the Atrix?
All my remaining questions about the webtop app and the lapdock have been answered by the google. Thanks to everyone for their replies!
I just got my lapdock and it's neat, no doubt about it. But what do you actually use it for?

VERY basic web browsing (email, facebook, xda, etc) and that's it. Don't try to fire up too many youtube videos or you'll get the low memory popup. I'm going to take my lapdock for a weekend wedding trip instead of my laptop in May...I should be ok. Looking forward to possible improvements in the future ICS build .

Why did you buy something if you don't know what to do with it?

My main curiosity is what most people use it for, as each person finds different value in different items....
I know what it is for and I'm enjoying using it in my own fashion. The main reason I bought it, so you will know, is because I found it for $50 bucks and it will increase the value of my Atrix 4g as a package, if & and when I go to sell it, should I ever find a phone I like more.
Also,Congrats on your new bicycle as well. I hope it serves you well. Just wait until you take the training wheels off! You'll be REALLY happy.
Thanks, I'm really happy with it! It has streamers on the handles!
I bought the lapdock in a deal also, but unfortunately mine is off to Motorola as there was something wrong with it when I received it. I think the lapdock will change somewhat in functionality once Webtop 3.0 becomes available to us. It should have more of a "laptop" functionality at that point I think.
I used it for very little until I installed webtop2sd, and turned it into a very serviceable portable connected computer. I have replaced my current laptop with the lapdock, and have been quite happy using Openoffice, and PDF reader. Professionally, I now have used it in court 3-4 times to hold reference materials (instead of printing volumes of online records), and I do email with it. I have also heard that it is very functional in a remote desktop setting, but aside from testing this, I have not pursued it.
The one issue that I have is installing firefox extensions. My lack of linux knowledge is holding me back, and I would like to be able to read .tif files from within the browser, but as of now cannot. Other than this, I think it is safe to consider this as functional as a regular (lower end) laptop.
Again, I cannot reiterate how much more useful webtop2sd makes this device. Who knows what the ICS update will bring?
Meh, id rather have an actual linux distro than android on a screen: Ubuntu is made for a mouse and keyboard, android, and specifically the apps for it, are made for touchscreens that our lapdocks do not have, so i dont see it translating well.
I posted this in the accessories section, but I saw that this is the forum for the tips and tricks, so I am reposting it here, I do not meant to offend, simply to educate.
If your like me, and you can't afford any of the little gizmos that let you plug a USB into your Prime, or you don't want to root it or do anything complicated like that, you just want to play Shadowgun THD with a gosh darn controller...well if thats you, then I got some good news for you.
Do you have a Best Buy near you? If so go in, bring your pad, bring your SONY MADE PS3 controller (I hear it needs to be the actual one from Sony, can't be a Madcatz or any third party brand), and the USB cable, ask where the dock is, or find it yourself, hook up your pad, and plug it all in.
You just need to turn on your Primes Bluetooth, and plug it in the dock, then plug in the USB and hold the PS button, and BOOM, your good to go. I literally just did this.
If you don't have a Best Buy near you, try Staples, Office Depot, Radioshack, Target, Walmart, find a place that has the dock on display. Chances are they dont care. If they do, ask for the manager, or just go to a different store.
I hope this helped out all my fellow Tablet Gamers, have a great day! :highfive:

You can use Sixaxis Controller on Playstore for 2 bucks. It has a free app to test compatibility before you shell out the 2 bucks.
But that costs money. My method is free (minus gas cost) and hooks up your controller and tablet via Bluetooth without having to root or change Mac address, or download and pay for an app. :highfive: :good:

Hmm, given that I root my devices by default, it totally passed my mind that you need root for that app to work. But I suppose people willing to hook up a PS3 controller will be the kind who root anyway. I know it is $2, but that is a cheaper than the abysmal liquid that passes for coffee at Coffeebucks. Plus, you can do the same with your phones and other Android devices once you buy the app... No multiple trips to Bestbuy. Anyway, it is a good option for those with a dock, I must say! Nice hack you found there!

Still cheaper than the $125 keyboard dock, or the other $35 USB attachment. Either way you look at it's you need a USB cable to connect the controller. This way you don't need to do anything to your tablet other than remove the rubber stoppers on either side of the charger plug in.

Does anyone know any good IR remote app to use on my converted htc one gpe
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy
personally I like 'Smart IR Remote for HTC One'
its easy to connect whatever devices you desire, set-top boxes, cable boxes, dvd/blue-ray players, home theater systems. if its got an IR sensor this app will probably be able to control it.
then create a remote, you can create as many as you want. can be setup for just 1 dedicated device, or you can make like universal remotes. which control multible devices. from there, you can place the buttons as you see fit.
and if theres a specific function thats not listed in the device button selection page. you can make custom macro's right in the app and put a macro on whatever button you want (for examle, can have 1 power button macro that would turn on your TV, cable or set-top box, home theater, and blue-ray all with one press)
Smart IR Remote is the best, the guy in last post is absolutly correct. The developer created remotes for me to use in my Tahoe. Panasonic AV that couldn't be found anywhere on earth. Floating remote which is genius and also a plug in for tasker. If u have a problem or suggestions email the developer they will make it or find it or write something for u. U can create your own too. Buy the pro version it will ease your stress level. Having a remote for everything even my truck that doesn't need to switch to WiFi or Bluetooth or whatever.. IR is quite surprising, when my phone rings even driving down the road, everything mutes.
Here is a floating remote I made just to show u. If you care..

Im not sure if Smart IR has a learning mode. but i do know the stock sense ir remote that comes with the htc one isnt very good. i tried it for a while and was so happy when i discovered Smart IR Remote. the ONLY downside to SIRR is it may seem overwhelming to new users. but trust me, once you figure out everything, its very very powerful.

Ha, I eat overwhelming for breakfast. 19 hours of college credits this semester with a full time construction job. I usually tend to go for the most complicated/feature heavy apps out there. But I don't think the other phones out there with blasters can also receive signals, at least the One is the only one I've heard of that can. Pretty much the only reason I'd stay with Sense,is for that specific app, and that's really not worth it. I'll definitely email the SIRR dev if they don't have a learning function, because an OS-independent app with that would be amazing. Now how about FM radio? Do you know if Spirit FM is supported on the One?
