MiniSD and BT2 prolongs battery life but there must be some draw for only 8 hours.

I'd kill to get my hands on one of these...

Hopefully it will be available on Vodafone so we can take advantage of HSDPA/UMTS (1.4MB Download speed).

i need this!

Well it's a cool device, but I sure hope it's not the successor to the Universal.

Stick on Universal for me, that is huge phone if in my palm. Anyway if someone give it to me as gift, I won't disappoint him/her, I'll use it...

From what I read, this has a detachable keyboard, thus I can't consider as a Universal successor.

To fast to talk? But if I read more and see the pict that uploaded that compare Athena to Universal... I think i'm start to fall in love with athena???

its really great device but for me I am still thinking I have same usability with my old universal. Sure, I would like 8Gb hdd and 5'' LCD but except of this I find nothing more usefull in everyday life.
I am fully aware of usb-host and ext. VGA -these are really great extensions but I am asking myself how many time I use VGA out except of those first time shows-off to my friends. Same for USB - How many time I attach external harddrive.
My point is - I would consider spending around 1K$ for a device with similar specs like my old uni.
But of course If I dindt have Uni I would definitely consider buying it.
And I would buy it right now if it would have 800x480 display or something with better resolution - this is the most important feature for me.
just my 2c
best,

Whoa...awesome . I'd have thought VGA res would look a tad pixelated on a 5" display, considering that all other VGA's are 3.7". But this one manages to pull it off...Is it an 18-bit (262K color) TFT, or the regular 16-bit?

Shift vs. Archos 9 for school use. Advice Please!

Hey guys, I'm a medical school student, and I'm looking for a device to pretty much just run MS OneNote. I'd like a decent battery life running Windows 7, and good performance running OneNote and reponding to the occasional email. I currently have a very powerful Sony Vaio Z as my main laptop, but I really wish I had a touch screen to take advantage of OneNote. I don't necessarily need a keyboard since I don't do much notetaking/typing in class, moreso I try to listen and annotate the professor's pre-printed slides using OneNote to highlight, draw, and write an additional sentence here or there.
So Archos 9 or HTC Shift? Tell me what you think about speed, screen, portability, the hardware keyboard, ect. (P.S I'm not looking at traditional convertible tablets b/c of the fact that I have a Sony Vaio Z that I'm happy with and would trade for a lower performing, bulkier, traditional tablet... I just want something light and touchscreen for OneNote only).
For those of you unfamiliar with the Archos 9:

Shift for OneNote
I bought my Shift for nearly the exact same reason...as a OneNote client w/ handwriting instead of a full blown tablet. Once i found a comfortable position to write without my palm touching the screen, I haven't looked back. My only complaint is the battery. There's nice looking portable external battery that I haven't broken down and gotten yet...just google htc shift external battery. I put a 60GB SSD in and I can get about two hours on the Win7 side. Keyboard is decent enough for me to do other typing on too, but it is no replacement for a full size kb. I also like having the WinMo side in the event the battery is getting critical. I can shut down Win7 and then use the OneNote for Windows Mobile app and sync up later.

I recently purchased a DSLR camera to take pictures of my stuffed animals. They are alive but they only come to life when I'm out of the room. I love them so much and I just want some kind of proof that they are alive so I know that I'm not throwing my heart into nothingness.
I purchased an older model DSRL that wasn't equipped with any WiFi abilities like some of the new models. I wanted to be able to view and control my camera through my tablet screen. I found out that I could use a USB OTG cable to plug my DSLR right into my tablet. Then all I needed was an app and I was up and running.
Here are the things that you will need to make this work.
1. OTG Cable
An OTG cable is an adapter that will enable you to plug a full sized USB cord directly into your Android device.
Micro USB OTG Host Adaptor
2. Android Device
You can use almost any Android device as long as you find an app that is compatible with it. I used my Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet and it worked just fine.
3. USB Cable
You probably already have one of these. You'll need a usb cable that can connect to your DSLR camera. This is the one I used to connect to my Canon camera.
USB Cable
4. (optional) DSLR phone mount
If you're using a phone, you can buy a mount that will allow you to connect your phone right to your camera. The mount in this link is meant to hold your camera and use it as a flash for your DSLR. For this project we will repurpose this device and install in backwards so your phone screen in facing you.

ChargerCity DSLR Hot Shoe Flash Camera Mount
5. DSLR Remote App
I tried out a bunch of different apps but only found one that worked. It also happened to be one of the only ones that was also free. SCORE! I recommend trying Helicon Remote. It worked great for my Canon and was able to do everything I wanted it to do.
Download Helicon Remote
If this app doesn't work for you, then just search around until you find something that does. The term you'll be searching for is "DSLR Controller"
Now that you have everything you need, start by connecting your USB OTG cable to your android device. Then connect that to your DSLR camera using the standard USB cable and launch your DSRL Controller app. If everything works, you should be able to see the live feed from your camera and be able to control it as well!
Here are all the features that I was able to use once I was all setup.
Key features:
- Automated focus bracketing (focus bracketing, exposure bracketing and time lapse shooting can be combined in any way possible)
- Focus stacking result preview
- Extra long exposures - up to 32 min (all Canon cameras, Nikon D750 / Df / D600 / D610 / D800 / D810 / D4 / D4s / D7100 / D7200 / D5200 / D5300 / D5500)
- Advanced exposure bracketing
- Image review
- Geotagging (on devices with GPS receiver)
- Full screen Live View
- Focus areas highlighting
- Live View noise averaging
- Time lapse shooting
- Video recording
- Burst (continuous) shooting
- Hyper focal distance and DOF calculator
- Live histogram (gray/RGB)
By using my tablet as a controller for my DSLR, I was able to monitor my stuffed friends without being seen. I have not seen any movement out of them yet but I wont give up!

I absolutely love these apps. I have a large power bank strapped to my tripod for when I'm shooting video and I use my old Galaxy S5 as a monitor for my camera. Generally I use it for focus peaking as Nikon does not natively support it. I believe it's a Sony trademark.

Hello and thank you for sharing this information. I am using a Sony SLT A65 and I would like to know if this method is going to work with my camera. I should mention that my A65 does not support tethering. Thank you. [email protected]

Tearing HU apart for Boards

So mediatek 8127 trash.. Not rootable. Wouldn't keep the screen on unless I had otg hooked up. I tried everything. Anyways... I bought orange pi h3 and billion things for it; ATmega328P Nano V3 Controller Board for 3.2" OBD cluster project and tft 7". I bought a driver thinking that's all it was, but I just i'll have two 7" screens now. I bought;
----AUDIO---
900W DC-DC Boost Converter 8-60V to 10-120V 15A Step Up
TPA3116 D2 120W+120W Dual-channel
ATMEGA16U2 Board For Arduino Mega 2560 R3
LM1036 Tone Board Preamp Board Volume Treble Bass Amplifier Z2S8
(Havent bought yet) TDA7498 BTL 100W+100W High-power Digital Amplifier Board AMP With Radiator
--OBD2 cluster lcd k line gauges--
FTDI Basic Breakout 5V/3.3V Adjustable- Micro USB
3.5" tft (even thought I can't touch it.....)
k type thermocouple
--display--
It will be displaying mainly 1280x600? The tft that came with my dismantled board. I bought another driver and it has a 800
--Other stuff--
GPS- No just the anntena
It has wifi already
I have a BT board if it doesn't.. No clue.
Fm transmitter I have too.
Sooo I really don't know anything about rasp pi og pi arduino, but I do know 100$ double dins are trash. I am able to pull the fm transmitter and bt board off but that's it. I took 3 old laptops apart just to find one 40 pin monitor adapter..... but a "driver board"...... idk!
I guess I would really appreciate a smack in the head followed by a "none of that even works together"..
Ohh.. and I got 4 P1675 Punch 6.75" 3-Way Full-Range 440W speakers.. I think that's what i'm most excited about. All I was ever able to do with this double din I dismantled was sit in my room running it from a trickle charger trying everything to wipe it and get something worthwhile. So two questions.... Is there a pin diagram out there somewhere? Are they standard? All I know is it has an HP laptop kernel. 400mb mali something ur' other.. Mtk8127a. The board says "YLD-ANDROID-CORE-PCBV00". mediatek mt6323LGA 1644-AGTH. 70 pins only around the edges. NO markings for what.... Ohhh and the cover over the board says YLD-CORE-AD1616_MOO.
Second question With voltage boosters and amplifiers what else audio wise do I need concerning the board/module aspect.. Best method of transferring music that's playing from orange pi to, two TPA3116 D2 120W+120W Dual-channel's and the possible bridgable mono TDA7498 amp for my sub.... run wires... But from where? Point of origin... I feel like i'm missing a driver/board for audio or something. I've been looking into all of this for months, so sorry for not having a better idea, it's just like a candy store of 2$ 5000gig 8 channel yada yada out there. It's endless.....
Orange pi can flow with raspberry pi b+ for sure and most below i'd imagine and arduino touch screens and sensors couldn't care less. Does that sound right?
Thanks for any advice. Hopes this isn't in the wrong area. It is all being made into a headunit....
Ehhhh after looking into orange pi... The specs are there, but the support is like zero.... Glad it's so cheap to change my mind. I want nougat or oreo/rooted/cmXX/aosp anything flippin rooted. and not Kit Kat..... Seriously............ MHL one of my rooted phones into the mini hdmi or something like that..... Idk, but I just found out my options are pretty much if not only that of Kali linux. Super cool most of the time, but I don't forsee me sniffing packets from the prius at the red light...

CPU Error with old GPU

Hi!
Ive built a new computer and here is my spec:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B560M ds3h v2
Processor: Intel i5 11-600KF
CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 esport duo
RAM: 4x4GB Corsair vengeance lpx 3200Mhz
HDD: Crucial ssd NVMe PCIE 4.0 1TB
GPU: ASUS GTX 980 Ti Strix dc iii OC
This build works but when i put my old ASUS GTX 660 Ti 2GB vram i get 5 beep AMI BIOS error code, which means Processor error. Ive tried with my GTX 745 as well and with this GPU it works. Its only the GTX 660 Ti that brings this error. Is that GPU toast or is there any other explanation?
All help is welcome!
I havent installed windows yet. Only booted up BIOS. Ive put new MX-4 thermal paste on all 3 GPUs.
Sincerly
/Nathan

What.
Does the same happen if you enable CSM before installing the card?

Thank you!
It did not support UEFI with the current drives. When I enabled CSM it worked. I had no idea there where different BIOS even, so you helped a blind man see
Sincerely
Nathan

Don't worry, using CSM instead of UEFI Only won't make a difference in performance.

Remove new hardware
If any new hardware was recently added to the computer, remove that hardware to make sure it is not causing your issue. If your computer works after removing the new hardware, it can mean a few things. Either the new hardware is not compatible with your computer, a system setting needs to be changed, or the new hardware is defective.
Remove any disks or USB devices
USB cable being plugged into USB port on laptop
Remove any disks, CDs, or DVDs that are in the computer. If any USB devices (iPods, drives, phones, etc.) are connected, disconnect all of them as well. Reboot the computer and see if anything changes.
Disconnect external devices
Remove everything from the back of the computer, except the power cable. Turn on the computer and see if it beeps normally. If the computer has never beeped, keep the monitor or display connected to see if any change occurs.
Regards,
J Wick

Did you see the post about checking the CSM setting?

The AMI BIOS error code of 5 beeps that you got is usually related to a CPU error. Still, it could be caused by other hardware issues as well. You should check the compatibility of your GPU with your motherboard. The GTX 660 Ti may not be compatible with the Gigabyte B560M ds3h v2 motherboard. Another thing to check is the GPU power supply. Ensure it's getting enough power and the power connectors are securely connected. It is also possible that the GPU has failed, which should be replaced. If you are looking for a new GPU, I recommend checking out https://cyberxgaming.com/. They have a great selection of the best GPUs on the market.
