I could see them still making some cheap ones that don't get updated often and have low specs, I think they make decent money from those.

And I could also see having a few models that they release yearly (GS, Note, and maybe one smaller than the GS but with same specs/quality?) but keep them the same on all carriers/countries and only make those models as flagships, don't go too crazy.

[MikeH]

I said major meaning flagship, obviously low end devices dont matter.

[stonehenge]

low end

Bought an OTG cable for $4 at a local computer place. Plugged in a powered hub, mouse, and keyboard. Works perfectly. This combined with hdmi would be bamf. IDK how you'd connect an OTG cable AND the HDMI adapter though since there's only one USB port.

Do some MHLs have a passthrough? :chin:

...good luck with drivers though.

So I had to google OTG cable to find out WTF it is. Neat. Kinda want.

http://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Micro-USB-Host-Cable/dp/B005GGBYJ4
High quality COPPER wiring (not cheap aluminum like other brands, that can be dangerous!)
1. LOL WUT? Who's making electronics cables with aluminum wire? I'd expect steel if anything.
2. LOL WUT? How would 5vdc and 250ma through a manufactured aluminum cable be dangerous? The only danger I know of with aluminum wires is, if you use antique solid aluminum house wire with antique switches/fixtures at 120vac, the terminal on the switch/fixture may not be rated for interfacing with aluminum, potentially overheating and causing a fire in extreme conditions with overloads and other failures.

:lolque: I think I missed that. :jester:

If it was just the low end remarks, FTS IDGAF, I know my shit is shitty.

[stonehenge]

:jester: :hoofbump:

The OTG cable worked great with the mouse and keyboard. Although when I didn't power the hub, the power was too weak for both keyboard and mouse, could only use one or the other. That's understandable. After powering the hub, I could plug in whatever I wanted.

Coworker is bringing his USB OBD2 thing tomorrow. We tried it with a laptop on my car yesterday and it worked great. Going to try it with the OTG cable and Torque app tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it works from what I have been reading.

[chevyrado14]

i use a bluetooth obdii with torque works good

[stonehenge]

i was going to do that but read that the chinese ones are hit or miss with a lot of fords. A couple years ago I wouldn't care but since my main vehicular is a Ford, that would make the thing useless :jester:

Since I know his usb one works with my car, I just need to make sure it works with Torque.

[chevyrado14]

pinche ford :pissedfist:

[stonehenge]

its only certain years and certain chinese models. Found people on CV forums that said they worked, others that said they didn't. :fp:

Not sure if its because of variations in the devices, variations in the firmware Ford uses in the PCMs, or user error with some tards reporting the problems.

Don't think its the last because the threads I've read with them NOT working sound like people who have tried everything.

[theholycow]

Interesting. Was gonna eventually buy el cheapo Chinese BT OBDII dongle, now I want to know which ones do and don't have trouble with Fords (even though I don't currently know anyone with a Ford).

What I really want is one that can pull ABS codes on my 2002 GMC and my wife's 2000 Isuzu. Any thoughts on that? Wouldn't mind also pulling other codes/data that a ScanGauge II can't get.

[stonehenge]

Also found this: http://www.FORScan.org

Tried it yesterday and it gave us a fuck load more info/sensors (PIDs) than the generic program my coworker had. I forget the name of the program he had though.

[chevyrado14]

i know mine woks perfectly in my 04 chevy and my cousins 06 gmc. realtime guages are awesome. used it to reset the needles after led swap.

[stonehenge]

this one seemed to be reporting everything correctly (with the FORScan program and the generic one)

a bluetooth one would be nice since I could charge the phone at the same time but I don't want to get one and have it be useless for me :( so I'll get a USB one if my coworkers works via OTG cable.

Might just stick with VZW. First because I like the network and still hear people complaining here about ATT and TMo. Second because dfw VZW being a GSM carrier. We'll see how that goes though.

[chevyrado14]

sounds pretty sweet esp since vzw is the only that works worth a damn here. att is getting better but i dont wanna lose unlimited data if i dont have to.

[stonehenge]

Since I don't tether, I've debated giving up unlimited when my contract is up. I guess it depends if I can find a nice phone at a decent price off contract at the time.

[Mr.Rogers]

I am gonna have to give up unlimited :emo: Cuz no way I am buying note 2 retail :scared:

You'll need to wait for roms and make sure they support the S-Pen before flashing any, but I'm sure it will get enough attention since it's a beast.

turn off background data in google currents or disable it all together

Did that at about 7am lol. He said it still isn't any better. Might wind up putting 4.1.2 CM10 on it and be done with it while Google gets a bug fix release out.

Toro doesn't have a stock 4.2 yet :emo: fgt Verizon

but all of the 4.2 builds I've tried have been smooth as seks. Besides my phone not wanting to wake up sometimes (the screen doesn't, I can tell the phone is waking because the LED notification stops until I press power again), this 4.2 build of AOKP is pretty nice. No stuttering or lagging.

[SarkOzy]

Yea, I don't get it. The notification pulldown is the most nagging thing just playing with it. Stutter city. Getting it unlocked again to flash the last CM10 nightly. He's happy with the features.

I see BAMF paradigm has updated to v 2.4, which is basically 4.1.2.
You think I can flash this w/o having to wipe?

Oh and 4.2.1 is available now.

[JayBo]

any signifigant changes in 4.2.1?

[MikeH]

Yeah, it be the latest version of Android. I would just stick to a 4.1.2 ROM for now if I were you though.

Probably the first time in a while that I haven't wanted a Nexus phone, rather just buy a used phone that's just as nice for cheaper. Think I'm just bored with android all together though.

You shouldn't have to wipe. You'll need to wipe if you go to 4.2 or 4.2.1 because there are major changes. I wouldn't try any 4.2+ roms yet, wait for something more stable.
Hey Juan what gapps are you using on 4.2?
idk, I've tried a few different ones. The last ones I flashed with AOKP, I got from a random AOKP thread on RW. "AOKP 4.2 is awesome" or something along those lines. Someone in there posted a link to Adam's last build and some gapps. The filename is gapps-jb-20121125-JOP40C-dmd151.zip if that helps. Probably pulled from stock Maguro.

I still don't see enough change from GNex to N4 to justify an upgrade. If I had a different phone maybe. But I don't like the glass back or lack of 32gb. Otherwise would roll if I could get it as a free upgrade or if my current phone was a POS.

Bored with Android? :uhoh: gonna go to iOS or WinMo or you're just done fucking with phones?

[chevyrado14]

thanks juan i just flashed todays jellybro with ones someone linked in the jellybro thread on rootz. ill see how it goes. i have another set too i can try if these are junk.

[stonehenge]

waiting for goo.im to post some 4.2 gapps so everyone starts using the same ones

I reflashed AOKP/Gapps/Trinity and so far no issues. Not sure what was causing my screens of death. No one else in the AOKP thread on RW is having the problem.

[JayBo]

id like to try a winmo phone personally

[MikeH]

windows phone sucks dick. i had the lumia and shit was so ass backwards

[stonehenge]

if I ever got tired of Android, iOS would most likely be the next thing I'd try. Unless WinMo gets better

and idgaf if it's windows phone. winmo for life

[JayBo]

I need to titanium my phone so I don't have to set everything up after I flash rom

[chevyrado14]

yea its really nice now where you can create an update.zip so it installs all your backups right from recovery. its worth the purchase from the playstore.

i wasn't aware you could do that!

[MikeH]

Free version of TB sucks, you have to install every app one by one when restoring.

[JayBo]

wasn't in Dropbox.

$7 though? Worth that much? Never spend more than $.99 in play store

[stonehenge]

If you plan on continuing to flash Roms every now and then, it is well worth the $7.

MB, AOKP is pretty damned complete already huh? Me likes.

If you dont switch ROMs a lot and dont have a lot of apps then the free version will be fine.

is there a list somewhere that shows all the widgets that will work on the 4.2 lockscreen?

if the widget has been updated to work then it would most likely say in the play store description.

The only two I know for sure are HD Widgets and Plume but I haven't been paying much attention.

Im thinking of flashing CM 10.1 .. that jellyBRO Skanky download or whatever lol

[chevyrado14]

id do the aokp. its feels more polished right now.

[stonehenge]

Haven't tried AOSKP yet. And yay, like Mike said, AOKP is more compete than CM10.1. But they are preview builds so there are a few little bugs like the top bar in the notification drawer when you are on a theme. Just a visual bug. My theme chooser list looks like shit too but works fine.

No more screens of death since I stopped using Trinity :(

Booted up, then I guess rebooted when I went to piss and still on that unicorn screen

[chevyrado14]

did you do a full wipe? data,system,caches?

[JayBo]

I always wipe twice to be sure.. only once this time..

isn't boot to recovery down volume and power?

[chevyrado14]

hold both vol up and down and power to fastboot. scroll with vol to recovery hit power

[JayBo]

man fuck you phone.
I can be the disaster guinea pig. This is why I dun flash roms much anymore. I have the worst luck EVAR

no worries it happens sometimes. did you use the gapps i posted?

rofl of course it won't work right for you even though it did for us :fp: poor yaybo

Gapps has downloaded too, so as soon as it boots and I can transfer file I'll flash it too

What about radio? Thers not one I need to install since that last one I did is it?

[stonehenge]

You flashed new radios recently didn't you? There are no new 4.2 radios yet.

Also, get used to the volume up/down and power thing and you won't have to be weary of flashing roms anymore since roms can never fuck up recovery.

I'd flash gapps at the same time as the rom but it shouldn't hurt anything to do it separate. you just won't have gmail, play store, etc and probably won't be asked to sign in at first boot.

[JayBo]

yeah, i flashed the newest radios that you linked me to.
