hi,
i am very unhappy about the build in microfon of my transformer 101.
i am so disappointed, that i wonder if i should sell my 101 and buy a 201.
how is the mic quality of the prime? is it better? are there any comparison
videos from users owning both devices yet?
and if it as crapy as the one from the 101, is there any hardwaremod
thats replaces the build in one with a better one yet?
thank you. still hoping that ics makes a difrent about the mic settings,
but with no big hope :/

I can only offer anecdotal evidence, FWIW.
I had 2 Acer A500 tablets, both of which had very poor mics. It was a design problem, I think. I like voice input, so resolved to look at TF Prime to see whether the TF-201 had done a better job.
When I got my Prime Dec 28 that was the first thing I tried, and am happy to say, that at least on my instance, it had decent mic and voice input recognition. That should be the case, as voice input is emphasized on upcoming ICS.
I can't compare voice on TF-201 to that on 101, but it was better than on A500, and adequate for me.
Unfortunately there were other issues for me with Prime.
i know that when skyping or gchatting on my tf201 prime i have not had 1 problem as of yet
may one of you try a selfrecording with the record app
and analyse if its good or poor quality?
the google voice recognition is pointless because its
85% working on my 101 too, but recording myself
or even skyping is so bad in quality that its no fun.
thanks
The Mic is perfect (it got even two I think). I picked up the tablet yesterday and called a friend on skype. He first thought that I was behind my PC (I use a logitech G35 headset there, so a very good one)

Hello everyone,
I thought as this is probably the largest tech forum out there, their was a very good chance that some fellow members would know lots about playing music files on tablets e.t.c.?:good:
I have many high quality 24/96 music files and for a time i used variouse Amp/Dacs on my old DELL Studio laptopI have tried to find out how if/how this would work with a TABLET and specifically the Xperia z?
Now if I have understood correctly It is possible to use an attached external amp with Android tablets but not a DAC owing to something with kernal
If anyone as any up to date feedback on the DAC/AMP Question I would be very interested to hear,I am no expert in these things,quite the opposite in fact.
Any help very much appreciated
Regards Steve:highfive:
Mine works great with my Wadia as a dac and volume control

Hi, I've tested with my Fiio E17 DAC& and I can confirm it works via USB Audio using a USB OTG cable.
Superb news re DAC/AMPs for ANDROID!
Good day Guys
That is really brilliant news,the fact some DAC/AMPs work with ANDROID devices:highfive:
I have spent a very long time trying to get a definitive answer on this question and all I did get was more questions? and a lot of complex debate....Revolving around the ANDROID KERNAL??so the Wadia dac/amp and Fiio E17work as intended as Dac amps?
I for one would like to hear more on this,so if you wish to elaborate further I would be very grateful

You don`t know how pleased I am to hear that it is indeed possible to us a DAC/AMP with Xperia Tablet
Please can I ask what particular cables you use,as i recall using different types with my laptops some 2 years ago now
and do you use dedicated power supply??(When at your desktop)not on the move!

If you mean the OTG cable, it is just a common cable bought off Amazon, it then connects to the compatible USB data cable, in my case a USB-USB Mini cable, and then the DAC itself. The fiio has built-in battery and can only be charged via USB, you can either power it with the tablet's battery though it drains fast, or turn off USB charging and go with its own battery provided it has already been charged. I have never used a desktop DAC unit so unfortunately I won't be able to answer any question about that

Hi Again
many thanks for your reply,much appreciated;
I am not very tech-minded as you can tell I suppose I was just wondering if adding better cables helped overhaul sound qulity? it`s a very subjective thing I know.What is an OTG cable please? sorry to be so dum

I am using my Xperia Tablet Z through a wifi connection with Logitech Squeezebox app, controlling a hardwired lan Touch that is connected to my Wadia usingTransparent Reference coax to my Audio Research Classic 150 Mono blocks via Valhalla speaker cables to my Magneplaner 3.6r's - IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!!! - I also did root my Touch, and applied some tweaks that have helped the digital stream immensely. The Wadia/Transparent/Valhalla is definitely not a budget solution, however being able to wireless stream my MOG, or Pandora and have it sound as good as a redbook cd played on my Wadia is incredible.. If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask.

Steve,
I think you have confused the postings I have the Wadia - another poster has the fiio - If you intend on directly plugging in your tablet to your device - you should research the type of device it is, and if it will support external memory cards via the USB input on the device, essentially that is all you are doing - using your tablet as a memory stick. I am not exactly sure of your intentions as there are many ways to make it work. Perhaps you could be more specific, as with audio specifics are necessary.
Regards
Will try to be clear
Hi again
no mix up,I know the Wadia is yours I said your Wadia and fiio 17
sorry if am not being clear enough.
I am hoping to do exactly the same as I did with my laptops,and that is use external DAC/ AMP to bypass on board Dac of TABELT + better sound all around Hopefully.You say may ways to make it work? I would be most interested to hear of the best way to make it work if you have the time? I have reserched several well known amp dacs and have received mixed replies as to can they be used with Android TABLETS full stop not only Xperai z,? folk were telling me there dacs do not woirk with tablets or I need to perform open heart surgery on the Android kernal e.t.c.
Yes I wish to connect an external dac/Amp to the Xperia and be able to play my 24/96 files in quality audio
Please keep the good advcie coming

Maybe that is what you meant - it is not what was typed - Please see in bold above. - Also as far as your tablet is concerned - you need some type of interface between your tablet and the dac - try finding an old Logitech squeeze box - they are cheap (less than 50.00 used) and work very well.
lighten up !
Hi but why make a point about it?
your interpretation of what i wrote and meant ..but man it`s no big deal is it?
simple misunderstanding Your WADIA and the fiio not your WADIA & your fiio?
I am English and most folk would not bat an eyelid at what I wrote.
whats this about interfaces??don1t understand why you need a squeezbox,why can`t the dac/amp just link to the tablet? maybe others on the forum may have some additional information

I think connecting a DAC to a smartphone/tablet for just listening to music is NOT a practical solution. Because who wants a tablet with cables dangling around? A tablet is for being carried freely around and connecting wirelessly.
So much better is to use the tablet just as a controller for a music playing device.
In this regard of course there are different solutions (Logitech media server / renderers, DLNA, MPD ...). I have a Raspberry Pi with Squeezelite and a USB soundcard that renders music of a Logitech media server on my NAS, for example.) The app "Squeeze Commander" on the tablet controls all that. Works flawlessly.
Only useful application for DAC directly on tablet is recording - using the tablet as mobile DAW.

Good of you to contribute to the thread,and of course you are quite entitled to your view.but remember folk, including some who have also contributed to this thread use DAC/AMPs withe xperia Tablet,and I suspect,but don`t know for sure, they also,as you say carry their tablets around freely,so they have the best of both worlds i think.
As far as a controller for music devices,well must admit to knowing very little about such things,and I can not comment.I must investigate all this area as you kindly outlined.
I have investigated this amp/dac qustion elsewhere and their does appear to be a significant minority getting involved in the Dac amp with tablet thing.and I am learning a little more each day.Speaking personally my new Xperia will rarely leave the house as I am confined much of the time..so for me cables and the like are not really a problem..and if the addition of a Dac/Amp to my tablet will give something like the improvements that I got from my laptop + dac/Amp set ups set up then I will be well pleased.

I think standard USB DAC is compatible since I can use Tablet Z with my fiio E17 without problem.
Interesting reply?
Hello :good:Fishmanzero
Really good to hear from you,and i thank you for letting me know that the FIIO E17 works with Xperia z
I am reliably informed that FIIO is okay in general and other android supported DACs are in the pipeline from both FIIO and other makers?one slight problem which as being flagged up is a bit of a compatability issue with ANDROID 4.2? I think problems reported e.t.c.but things at least seem to be looking better for ANDROID in the long term.

I'm eager to try this, my phone is on its way to its new home, so as soon as it arrives I will check it with my PS3 and PS4 controllers. PS3 controller works like a charm on the Xperia tablet with no additional drivers, it is plug n play!
As for the supported games, I'm thinking that maybe all or most of the games on the Playstation mobile store are compatible, other that than I don't know. Cheers.
I can confirm that they do work together.
All you need to do is hold the share and home (PS) button together until the lightbar on the pad starts to flash, once done you just need to pair it via Bluetooth.
Let me know if you need any further help.

Not only will ds4 work on the z3 but so will remote play from the ps4, looking at specs of the z3 it seems no different to my z2 ,well z3 is clocked at 2.5 instead of 2.3ghz, but apart from that the differences seem to be cosmetic.
I am more than a bit annoyed about remote play being included, one of the reasons i bought a z2 (not only reason, but a main one) was sony's way of making there products connect to each other. I remember the ps3 controller worked first with an xperia phone before others. My phone isnt even 6 months old yet and instead of getting features added through updates it seems like sony are keeping these features to sell there next handset.
In all fairness tho, its only remote play and a few tweaks to audio player that make the z3 any different to the z2

Well mate, they have to compete with others, we are all whining about this 6 month old cycle, I myself as well whine about it,
but they cannot show up with nothing at IFA knowing that Samsung is gonna present their Note 4. They are clearly trying to achieve best smartphone of the year thing, but I think they should have gone same as Samsung, in first half of the year the Z line, second half Ultra line maybe.
It's kinda annoying when they are upgrading the same model twice per year mostly because no new things, especially now this z3.
They probably modded camera now how it should be, added HQ to speakers and remote control for ps4, I doubt we will see those things in z2 officially. But then again, we are being late with 4.4.4 with a good reason, most probably because those features, or at least some of them, are gonna hit z2.
And I'm being sceptic with this new IP rating. It's making me think what has changed, and does z2 suffer from building issue regarding waterproof, more and more I see threads about phone leaking water inside even tho I never experienced that, but that's mostly because my device was only few times exposed to heavy rain, but never dunked in water, nor it will ever be since it slipped out of my hand and I had to replace back cover.

i couldnt agree more.... if they want a 6 month cycle they should be doing it with 2 models, what annoys me is the specs are essentially the same, this isnt a new sony phone...... its an overclocked z2 with a few new features which claim to be exclusive but probably wont even need to be modified to work on z2.

I am looking for help on choosing the right android radio for my car.
I have a forester 2011 with gps buit in, but that super feature removed the a2dp fonctionalty !
That is all I wanted! !!
I have read these 2 thread AN-21U and 4.2.2 a9 dual core
These 2 are hard to find on ebay !
I have a galaxy s5, note 2014 and wife has galaxy s3... we are very in android.
What I would like on the radio is:
- a2dp perfectly working
-good gps with available free updates (without having to always use google maps on tethering from my phone). But Google maps still available
- port for microphone (unless the micro from the head unit is good for phone call. .. but I doubt it! ). I could use the one already installed in my car
-steering wheel control. .. they all seams to have it
-able to browse Internet and YouTube videos (on tethering)... flash player probably working with firefox...
-torque apps should work. .. already using it on my phone (OBDII)
-google account working linked with chrome
-good radio reception. .. the is a must since this is my. ...radio! !
-fast boot time. .. or even being able to stay on sleep mode. I guess 30 secondes is fast enough, but might get slower with more apps I guess !
-tv tunner would be awesome
-reverse camera
Am I dreaming wanting all this ?
Between 350 and 400$ should be doable !
Root is not necessary since I might end up with more problems. (Radio not working, steering wheel issue, ect) But rooting can solve a bunch of problem too...
Thank you very much for your help.
Reading both thread above did not really helped me. .. the first one seams to have a bunch of issues. .. and icannot find the second on ebay on simple double din .

This one seams ok... would it be a good choice ?
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301197118041&alt=web
Is it one of the 2 listed above ?
Please give me a little help here!
Even if I read all the descriptions. .. it is always better to ask a person who owns one!
Too easy to waste money buying something you think does all you want! !
Thank you

ive also been on the market and looking but from reading peoples post on different h/u its pretty save to say its all a gamble most of these units are chinese built and the build quality is questionable some units have good features but lack memory the units you may wanna look into more would be the ones with some sort dev support and root those seems to be the ones that if there is an issue at least someone can come up with a solution also you may wanna stay away from h/u that are windows CE as they run android on a top of the windows and may lack android features
Thank you very much for your help.
That is exactly what I thought, a gumble !
After reading the first thread posted above (AN-21U), it seams to have to much issues.
But the other about the 4.2.2 a9 dual core seams very interesting. but I cannot find any of those on ebay searching by the names HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) !
There is a buch of 4.2.2 a9 dual core.. 1.2ghz, 1.6ghz, 1gb ram, 2Gb ram .. they might all be fake, I cannot know !
It seams all the auction lake on real detail about the product (model #, ect).
Is there anyway I can by certain I order on of the HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) ?

Hello Martin,
I dont know your car type, but I recomend DX.com for buy things from China. Try to find with: "autoradio" and "android" keyword.
Eg.: Joyous 8" J-8813-8A for VW group cars.
BR, Mark
It is said in my forst post that you quoted, it is a subaru forester 2011 !
Simple double DIN will work in my car, no special fitting is needed !
If I find a good one with RK3066 processor, does that mean this is the right one (from the second link of my first post) ?
Just an example, looking at that file: HuiFei/Klyde/RoadMaster Reference, I clearly see what the Hui Fei and roadmaster look like.
But since there is more info on the Klyde one, this is the one I would like to buy but I cannot see what the head unit look like !
Searching the web for Klyde android car, I see a LOT og different model ... which one is the right one ?
I don't think any Klyde model will work, I need the right one !
Same thing for RoadMaster ... I can find the model I see on the picture on ebay, but no way to be sure it is the right one !
This video is for Klyde: Youtube Video but does not seams to be the one on the file !
If it is, this might be the one I want !
Thank you for your help !
The problem is they are all Chinese built so they tend to be all nock offs of each other you have to get a confirmed hardware specs for the klyde unit and then when you search look for the same hardware its small difference in hardware it could be the GPU or the ram or etc. Even though they all look similar its the internals that will tell you which is which ....I'm currently looking for a unit with 4.4 and 1024*720 screen resolution I found one in a Europe site but am trying to see if I find it on eBay I have a wrx sti ::subie wave::
I see a lot of Ouku that seams good, but as it is not mentioned anyway in here, I guess these are not a good idea to buy !
They where good at one point but now theirs more competition out there

Thank you for sending me this link: New Model, but I find it weird that they wrote: can be upgraded to Android 5.0 .....
I need a little help here !
I have 25Tabs onped on my Chrome, I read everything written here on XDA.
I can see that the RM are bugless, so that might be what I want!
But I find no where I can buy them exect from aliexpress.com, but they are not cheap at all !
This one seams perfect and cheap, but from WinLink ?!?!?! WinLink
Or that one from Zhoon with 7" display that seams good: Zhoon
Or one from Infidini Infidini
All I really want is to be able to charge my cell (1 USB and Built-in Wifi), have my OBDII bluwtooth connected with my cell. And be able to have my music on bluetooth. Also have the reverse camera and steering wheelm control !
They practicly all have these features, but the best is a pure android and being able to root !
All the link I find here to buy one are no longer working, so ther eis no place to buy one.
Except from aliexpress.com where Rm are really expensive, and Ebay where you have no idea what you are buying !!
Please, I want to order one! I am so tired of my Pioneer always crashing in my car !
This is what I am looking for, but I don't want to order 100 of 'em RoadMaster
You want one that is multi channel Bluetooth too if not you either do obd or phone but not both that's something to consider also
Ok, i am really going to buy one, but only need a little piece of advice before i do !
I finally found a klyde not to expensive : klyde
Can i use the bluetooth for anything else then my phone ( with obd dongle for example).
Is the microphone good enough for phone call ?
I have been searching for that model since i see in other threads that they seams to be good. .. with no bugs !
But now that we are already in September, is there better product ?
Maybe this one is better ? http://m.aliexpress.com/item-desc/1948364463.html
please help
Okay the title may say it all but I am looking to get myself an Android Double Din car stereo.
I currently have a 6.2" Clarion and the screen size is adequate and it is very usable and I love the radio but I would prefer to have an Android stereo, possibly with a larger display.
I haven't made a decision yet and I'm extremely interested to hear from all of you to see what type of Android car stereo you are using and why you think it's the best one.
Ideally the stereo I would like to buy would have a 7" screen that is either detachable(and doubles as a tablet) or motorized with full DVD capabilities. I'm not super picky about the screen size. DVD/CD is not a real requirement but would be nice to have.
I do not care if it can be rooted but root would definitely be a plus.
The newer the Android OS loaded onto the stereo the better as long as it's stable and everything works as you'd expect.
I've already done a bit of research on these stereos and was leaning towards the XTRONS TD729A or this OUKU Stereo found on eBay but I know there's hundreds of different stereos out there and what better place to get advice on Android Tech than XDA?
Also saw the Newsmy NU3001 Android 4.4 Double Din car stereo. No DVD or detachable panel like I'd like but it does seem like a nice stereo. Opinions?

I think that radio looks nice but there's no way that would fit in my dashboard. I had to modify my dashboard to fit a double din stereo to begin with. The way my current stereo is installed it sits flush in my dashboard. It almost looks factory. See the photo attached below.
I'm looking to recreate that "almost factory" look again but this time I'd really like an Android stereo. That stereo you linked to would require extreme modification to my already modified dashboard.

And yes these stereos to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and with the correct accessories, 3G as well.
If the stereo has Google apps installed and is connected to the internet, it will sync most information with your phone.

This Sony stereo is not an actual Android car stereo. It's a double din Xperia phone mount that replaces your radio and puts your Xperia phone in it's place. As far as I can tell anyway.
I'm really starting to think that this one might be a winner.

Certainly the unit I posted before wins on specs, but this one is more good-looking, for sure... it seems nice. I can't understand why you said that the device with the tablet wouldn't fit in your car but this one would... both of them are 7", right?

The tablet unit you posted before has a much larger bezel around the screen. that bezel makes it too large to fit in my dashboard. Might not be the same for everyone but if you look at the photo of my current setup that I posted up above, you'd see what I mean.

Wow I like that one. Especially with its high screen definition and very late android version !
I'm currently looking at such radio and that one is for the moment the best I ever saw, and not the more expensive !

The only thing I can see about that stereo that kind of makes me keep looking at others is the fact that in the item description there's no mention of the stereo having Google Play. Maybe it's been figured out in the xda thread I linked to in that post but without Google Play what's the point in an Android device?
EDIT-- Even though the website selling the unit does not expressly say that Google Play is pre-installed to the device, there are hundreds of posts in the xda thread that mention "install this from Google Play" or "install that" or "I installed this from Google Play"
I'm assuming that considering it is pre-rooted out of the box that you can either install Google Apps from recovery or that the apps are pre-installed.
Here's that same radio only it has 2gb of RAM.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-2-Din-Uni...05&prg=11353&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=271673297957&rt=nc
I confirm Google play is installed.
I just check one video on YouTube and I see the icon installed
And checking randomly in the xda post related, I see discussion about "where do Google play and Google play music install their files after downloading "
So definitely yes

Yeah I really think I like that unit. My only gripe with it is the lack of DVD capabilities which truthfully isn't an issue because it's been confirmed that you can plug in a portable hard drive and use that for movies and music just fine.
That and the damn price tag. For the model with 1gb ram you're looking at about $400 and the model with 2gb ram is over $500.
