I've got a LCD on my new car stereo and it would be great if I could get the sat nav from the XDA to display there, would save me gettting a car kit.
Thanks

No, not possible. The only connector would be the SDIO slot but you need that for the map SD cards.
OK, I thought there might be a USB cable that might do the job.
It's a shame..... i know, but i think the new mini hdmi, should take care of issues like this on future devices, just a shame, there really hasn't been any sort of standard, so to speak, for video out on pocket devices...
With that said, I was thinking, to control the gps, you'll still need to use the phone, so it'll be a bit annoying, having to keep both open..
i was looking through the windows directory and i found a few exe files not linked to in the start menu. switchusb and QCamera where the more interesting and btspy which im not sure what it is supposed to do.
usbswitch has 2 options 1 microsoft usbfn and 2 qc composite - dun, diag, nmea
reset is required to change mode.
qcamera is of course a camera app with many settings such as frame rate control and the ability to change the file type of both pictures and videos. WARNING AFTER I USED QCAMERA MY LG CAMERA APP WOULD FREEZE I HAD TO DO A RESTORE OF MY WINDOWS DIRECTORY FILES FROM AN EARLIER DATE TO USE CAMERA AGAIN.
also a gpsoneapp for gps testing if anyone is having gps problems
i also found an exe i hope can help it is called WceSetAudio.exe it has a few options that is listed in the fmradio post on lg-expo.com that i will copy paste here
handset, headset, speaker phone, TTY headset, TTY VCO, I2S full duplex, I2S RX/TX, FMradio, SpeakerVoice, HeadsetVoice, Headset Stereo speaker...,headset stereo..., headset mono speaker..., and headset mono speaker...
this reminds me of linux where i can never find the right audio out...
the ones i put ... on it is cut off and i cannot read the last word. i have not tried to change anything because this is my main or only phone and i dont have time for it to mess up on me.
maybe this can fix fm radio output.
also wifiengmenu.exe and browsermodedetec.exe says it changes browser to desktop mode but it didnt seem like it did.
i dont know if any one else has found the same programs already i just thought id let everyone know here
there was a simillar thread in the social groups. nice find on the qcamera. and the usbswitch. gonna check those out now.. thanks
i also found qtest and other test like qled...

ooo what does qled do?
it just turns on the led there is actually one for each color red,blue,green and one for all colors to flash could help write apps that use the led
hmm on my expo there is not qled.exe in the windows directory.

there was a program that someone was working on for the x1's LED's called illumenaria or something.. it was pretty sweet. i'm sure it could be accomplished.
sorry it is not qled.exe it is qtest_led_x.exe in place of x there is r,b,n,g for red, blue ,off, green and another qtest_ledtest.exe that flashes all colors.s it is with other exes such as qtest_gyro, ...vibtest, ...keytest....... they can all be accessed by going into engineer mod

I've tried the switch USB to see if it would finally let me sync my phone to PC via USB, but it did nothing. Still using bluetooth dongle to sync phone.
i saw somewhere sombody said they tried a different usb cable and their expo synced maybe you could try that.

Tried 3 different USB cables. There were only 2 or 3 times whee I was able to sync with USB after a PC reboot, once I unplugged and replugged it wouldn't work again. I've messed with this for days on 3 PC's, with different OS -XP, Vista, Win 7 64Bit all with the same results. Even a hard reset to the phone with no other apps installed.
I've seen some of the MS forums and alot of people with different devices are having the same issues with no resolve.
wish i knew a little more to help you. it seems like warraven knows what he is talking about hope he can help and you can figure it out.
As long as I can sync with BT I'll survive, but when the cooked ROMS start coming around, I'll be SOL, cause you can only flash via USB.
i had a fuze before the expo and i never plugged my fuze up to sync just did bluetooth or wifi. only time i plugged it up was to put stuff on the sd card like a rom or songs. when i flashed roms on my fuze i just did it by putting the ralphimg file on the sd card and flashed it by holding down some keys. htc phones are way better and flashing and customizing. if the expo could flash from sd ud be alright
I purchased a AV Audio Video TV Out CA-75U Cable Nokia from ebay hoping that this would give me tv out on my Vibrant. I read in another thread that this cable worked. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I've tried switching the cables, red for yellow ect and everything else mentioned in previous threads. I get audio but it buzzes pretty good and I get video that looks that your watching the old scrambled channels before digital cable came out. Anyone know about this cable specifically or can point me in the direction of a cheap cable that for sure will work for me? Thanks
P.S. I know that avatar won't play through the tv out. I've tested with other movie files and I've made sure the tv out is checked in settings along with NTSC. Thanks
hmmm... I used the cable that came with my camcorder and it works perfectly.
i bought this one off of ebay and it works perfectly for me

I can tell you that if you plug in the cable without switching around the red and yellow you will short out your AV connection on some TV's. I shorted out mine by trying to match the colors.
Then I read about having to switch the colors and found out that the AV I had plugged it into no longer worked. Thanks Samsung. If they don't show up with a lagless stock Froyo before the freakin Dell Streak does, I am going to send them a bill for a TV.
Just an FYI. I have no idea if the Nokia cable works or not. I original purchased a cable that supposedly work but in the end didn't. I ended picking up a cable that works. Here is the pinout from the base to the tip.
First ring - Video
Second ring - Ground
Third ring - Right Audio
Tip - Left Audio
I ended up rewiring the one that didn't work and now I have 2 working RCA cables. You just have to be careful when rewiring since the cable is extremely thin. The one I originally purchased has the ground and video wires reverse.

I have an extra set of logitech computer speakers I want to connect to listen to music on my tablet, but I can't get them working.
They are pretty much new and they work on my TV, WDTV and computer just fine using the same earphone jack adapter, but I get no sound when I plug them into my tablet.
I can plug earphones into the tablet and they work fine.
Anyone know why the pc speakers are not working?
interesting man...never trid this,have n7 from few days,but when i initially red this 3ad i thinked "well,impossible,it's OP only problems.."but when i tried my pc speakers on it (curiosity after reading this)i see that they don't works..strange!hope anyone can enlighten us!also my sound av receiver don't output the sound when connected on n7.on gnex works without problems..
i tried in a game...not in the music player yet,but i think it's the same beahviour..
I would guess there is a mechanical incompatibility with the plug, i.e. it doesn't quite fit. Can you post pictures of the working and non-working plugs?

Here's a picture of both plugs, they both seem to plug into the tablet the same amount and are identical as far as I can see other than being different colors.
Top one is the earphones
Not sure why, but when I did a factory reset on my tablet today the speakers work fine. Maybe it was an app or something interfering with it. Anyways, seems to be working now.
Hi,
Id like to buy an Ainol Hero II tablet, which unfortunately lacks both BT and GPS. While the missing GPS isnt such a big deal for me, the missing BT is. Now, I learned I could use a BT adaptor to add bluetooth capability to the tablet. But Id like to have it connected all the time, which is made impossible by the standard 8cm USB-OTG cable - it would be pretty inconvenient. So, Id like to ask for solutions:
1) Isnt there something like a BT device, which would be inserted into the microSD card slot? Something like old PCMCIA cards?
2) Isnt there something like a really small BT adaptor with microUSB connector?
3) Isnt there something like USB-OTG cable/reduction, which would stick out only for say 1cm? That, with a really small and flat BT adaptor, could make having this inserted all the time possible.
Thanks!
