Hi at all,
i've a little problem with the camera in my application.
I'm the developer of LazyDroid Web Desktop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032470&highlight=lazydroid
I've some issues with the camera. It works with my device and other two devices i use for test... samsung I5500 and Hiuwei Ideas... two cheap devices i bought for tests.... All works with mine devices, but some user complain that they can't get it to work. Doing some test i've found that the camera works on some devices if i set flash-value 2 in the camera params... now i'm thinking what i've to do.
If i cannot find a better solution i've to make a mega-if that set params depending on Manufacturer and Phone Model...
Do you have any ideas?
use a switch
-.-'''
i know how to make a switch... i was just asking if exist another solution...
Hi all,
Recently got my company car, a Prius, with the Toyota Touch pro nav system in it. This requires Bluetooth DUN support so I will get updates and search, etc.
Unfortunately, I understand from the specs of my HTC Trophy the DUN profile is not supported. My carrier does support Internet tethering, but that is only offered on my phone via WIFI. I would not mind to install a custom ROM or some additional drivers/apps to enable this. Any suggestions or other people with this problem?
And yes, I know, Bluetooth DUN is quite old, but unfortunately, it seems the car industry lags far behind the technological evolution if it comes to there nav systems. I mean; why not just add an iPad dock ?
Thanks all; great site this!
Hey all,
I wanted to use my new OPO (without an extra SIM card) as a permanent slave to my original phone, and as a permanent fixture on my car as a car-puter for my 2005 Accord. I have to say, I am pretty impressed with the phone, and where I've reached now.
Hardware required:
1) OPO (obviously)
2) Main phone (In my case, my Note 3)
3) Car with Bluetooth Head Unit (depending on usage)
4) Cheap 7$ OBD2 Bluetooth interface from eBay
5) Raspberry Pi + RasPiCam (for backup cam)
Software:
1) Torque for getting data from OBD.
2) Navier HUD Free (For some cool HUD Effects for my car )
3) MapFactor Navigator for free Offline Maps and navigation
4) Google Voice + Spare Phone (didnt want to spend on another phone line)
5) Tablet Remote ()
6) Tasker
7) fqrouter [to be discarded and replaced with WiFi Tether router]
8) Tablet Talk
9) RTSP Player
Modules:
1) Wireless backup camera
I used Raspberry Pi with its camera module to use as a backup camera.
The Pi fetches the video and transmits it as a live RTMP stream using nginx web server. I can then see the stream play on my phone.
I use fqrouter to create a hotspot between OPO and RPi to get the live stream without losing tethered wifi connection with my Note 3.
2) Navigation & Car stuff
MapFactor Navigator free uses OpenStreetMaps to get free navigation to your phone. No need of a separate GPS unit.
Torque has the ability to connect to my car's OBD2 interface. It also has a HUD functionality which I thought was cool
Can also use Navier HUD Free for HUD displaying speed and navigation.
3) Communication
Now, this one was a bit tricky. I wanted it to be connected with my phone. Since I had unlimited 4G LTE data from T-mobile, I had to leverage that somehow. I couldn't just use tethering as tethering isn't unlimited (now found a workaround for that too ). So I wanted to use Wifi Tether only for Google Voice texts and rare phone calls.
Communication involves multiple things:
a) Receive Phone and Text
For this, I used a fine but no-longer-supported app called Tablet Talk. In the future, I'll try to develop something for myself. For now, this one is good. I can send/receive msgs that I get on my main phone (connected via bluetooth) from this one. As for phone calls, Tablet Talk gives a nice notification about who is calling, with the contact's photo and name synced from your phone book.
ISSUE: Tablet talk is meant for tablets. So when used in landscape mode, the answer/reject/speaker button goes below the screen. So I created a tasker profile, which says when I get a call notification on tablet talk, disable screen rotation temporarily. Does the trick
Another issue is that the calls are attended from your phone. i.e. call audio comes from your phone. Simple solution, also connected the phone with my car's bluetooth (another hack made from a broken 20$ Sony MW600 bluetooth headset I found on eBay). So I can answer the call from OPO fixed in car, and talk via car bluetooth, and the phone always stays inside.
b) Music & audio
I have my full music collection on my main phone. I don't want to sync and have duplicates. Thank's to a discovery by @darktranquility18, I realized that the OPO can be used as a media sync when using bluetooth. i.e. It acts as a bluetooth speaker for my main phone. Now, the issue I ran into was that I couldn't change tracks or volume using it directly. So I had to use another software: Tablet Remote. Works like a charm
That's all I have for now. Let me know if you can think of any suggestions, additions or ideas. Open to many more tweaks and hacks. After all, the phone says: Never Settle
Sounds like a great setup, but why use a $350 phone when a $150 Nexus 7 would do just as well and have a larger screen? I recently began using an 8" LG G Pad as a permanent carputer and couldn't be happier, but I'm going to take a look at some of the options you've detailed here, so thanks for that. I leverage Tasker pretty heavily for automating tasks when the car turns on, turns off, etc.

Simple reason:
I had a 350$ phone that I got for free just lying around as a spare phone. I don't have a spare tablet
So essentially, the only amount I spent just for this is the $7 Bluetooth ODB2 connector.
Also, I didnt want to modify the stock Head Unit. So I have a stand (I added wireless charger for my note 3. Will make OPO wireless charging capable later) on my upper dash which can hold a phone. A tablet will be too big for that and will block my view out of windshield. Once I get some more money, I will get the Metra dash kit and put in a tablet. This setup is what I have for now

Gotcha, certainly makes sense. Good luck with your setup. Having run mine for a few weeks now, can't imagine going back to a stock head unit. Waze, Spotify, Pandora, having my full music library, etc. can't be beat.
i stopped by, hoping for pics.... (nice setup btw)

Ha, Thanks
Well, its just the OPO on a phone stand on my dash. Mostly it is the use of various software to make it do what I want.
But I guess I CAN put up pics of HUD and a video about the Raspberry Pi Backup module.
I'll try to make it this week and upload.
Yes please, that'd be cool
I'm also curious about that OBD2 thing you bought. Does it mean I can get that too? I have a Toyota Yaris
If you could post some pics and share some quick instructions, would be great!
Cheers m8!

This is what I got from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131033435850?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It was $2 off when I purchased it. So I got for $6.94
The construction is FLIMSY and the covering breaks easily. But it can be easily fixed with super glue or something. I kept mine open as the LEDs inside give a nice glow-at-night effect to my underdash. I'll show that in video that I'll mostly try to make before this weekend.
What year is your Yaris? All cars after 98 year models (i think) need to have OBD2 compulsorily. It'll mostly be near your steering wheel side underdash, on the left near the fuse box.
It's recent, it's the '10 model. I'll look into it when I go back home after work
Cheers!
Pics pics we want pics !

So you couldn't sell the phone and get the tablet pocketing the extra $200. I understand if it was a condition of getting it free. Also, you can do most of this with your primary phone and a nice car mount. That lets you use the device when you aren't in the car...

The phone was a gift. So no, wouldn't sell it. Primary phone is used by other people in the car to play music/games etc.
Not a good idea to continuously mount and remove that while I am using navigation and there are people in the car for whom nothing else matters other than playing Candy Crush or facebook .
I do use the device when I am not in the car. As I had mentioned before, it is just hooked to a phone stand/holder.
Also, let me clarify, the main reason for posting it here is since I used the OPO. You can use anything, any phone / tablet. I am not saying you have to use this phone only. I just happen to have a spare one, that's all. I wanted to show one more thing that we can use any phone/any tablet for. It was just an experiment.

Sorry, didn't mean to dump. It is cool, but expensive for most. I look forward to seeing the pictures.
Apologies for the shaky video. Never done a video before, so was a bit nervous.

HUD Display (Upload in progress):
Images attached. I can write a tutorial about the raspberry pi module sometime later if anyone is interested.
Sorry, I know this post is old but this is the only reference I could find with someone seemingly having used an OPO (OnePlus One - I hope you mean) successfully with an ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth adapter. I am having connection issues with my OBD2 adapter and was wondering if you had found a way around these issues...
Here's another thread I started describing my OBD2 adapter issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/oneplus-one-cm11-wont-obd2-elm327-t3152703
I have used a couple of OBD2 adapters. The successful one was from OBDlink MX. The hit and mid ones were the cheap ones from China that did not have an auto shut off features.

Hi all,
I've just bought and (had installed by a professional) an Erisin 6046B PX5 based Android head unit. But there's a few things bothering me so far. I've emailed all of this to Erisin so hopefully they'll offer a solution too, but I was just wondering if these issues are common and if anyone else has any fixes?:
1. The WiFi does not really work. When I park the car in my driveway, it cannot detect my home Wifi. But my phone and all other WiFi devices pick up the home Wifi from halfway down the street.
So then I tried tethering the device to my mobile phone, to use it's 4G network. It connects to it, but the speed is so slow that it is completely unusable. I tried to download something from the Google Play Store, but it says "download pending". I then tried to download something via the Browser app - the download starts, but the connection is so slow it took hours to download a tiny (3mb) file. My phone had full 4G reception and the same downloads happened extremely quickly on the phone.
2. The volume is extremely high. I can only listen to the FM radio app on the very lowest setting, otherwise it is deafening and far too loud. I cannot seem to change this, no matter which volume control I use on the device or within the settings.
3. A number of the apps crash repeatedly. The most common to crash are the web browser and Google Play Store.
Thanks!
All I’ll add is idk who your carrier is but if you have base unlimited from Verizon tethering speeds are practically unusable. Is the connection fast with other devices tethered to your phone?

For wifi I'd bet the antenna lead on the board has a bad connection. I have seen this complaint on other HUs not specifically Erisin though.

In in the UK, on Three network. Tethering is usually pretty good from my phone - e.g. I use my laptop with it on the train.

Oh no, that does sound likely. I once repaired my oneplus one and didn't fully reconnect the WiFi antenna and the symptoms were very similar.
Erisin customer services have asked for videos. This should be fun! :/
Hello from Germany.
I have the same issue on the same type of erisin 6046B.
My stereo is also purchased this month. I think we have the same bad produced batch.
Erisin support asked me for several things like trying different WiFi , updating to latest ROM etc. .
My iPhone or Macbook has a full signal strength inside my car with my Wifi.
And when I connect the iPhone to the stereo, the signal on the erisin is still only 50% and not stable.
Last week they proposed , to send an external wifi usb adapter to me, which would solve the bad signal issue.
I´ll try it and hope to get an OK signal without sending the stereo back.
I´ve also found several posts/pages in the web with the description of bad soldered connections of wifi cables in the China head units.
But first I would like to avoid to open the new stereo so solve the bad connection.

Thanks for letting me know - I'm glad its not just me!
An external Wifi adaptor would be no good for me - I'm already using both USB ports for the DAB and the 3G dongle! :/

Hello again.
I have the same opinion about the USB ports, but I´ve tested the external Wifi adaptor.
The test was not successful. I had no improvement on the Wifi, the dongle was not installed as an additional device on the Erisin with android 6.X.
I´ve sent back the radio to erisin.
In the last days I´ve also have read a lot of posts here @ xda-developers and recognized, the PX5 board is faulty with bt/wifi.
I am now unsettled.
Should I buy a PX3 2GB unit with 2Gb RAM and "new" Android 7.X.X., which has a stable Wifi but is a little bit slow....
Or should I wait for a PX5 octa core with 4GB Ram which are coming out now on the market? But here the Wifi issue could be also present....

Hello,
I want to help a friend with continuous glucose monitoring. His pomp hardware has bluetooth and it is possible to connect it to phone. But only a few phones are compatible - Iphones and a few models of Samsung. When you don't have a compatible phone application displays error.
So, I edited build.prop and application works but I can't find CGM device. I wonder why. What is a difference in bluetooth module in samsung and one plus 5? Or maybe do you know other reason why OP5 can't find this device?
BTW, here is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...l&rdid=com.medtronic.diabetes.guardianconnect
