I found a external soundboard at this site I know it’s a USB connection but I believe it should be possible to make it connectable with miniUSB, if I connect such a player to my phone and the soundboard to my home theater am I then able to play the music directly from my phone to my home theater In my thoughts I would connect my phone through pocket control to my notebook and if possible my phone by wifi with my network. If this works I could make as soon as I arrive at home my entire music collection available through my phone just from my sofa. If anybody knows a reason why it can’t work please tell me. Regards Willem
probably wont work, as it will need drivers.
if u want to plug ur phone into the home theatre system, then use a micro-USB to Phono adaptor...

Ok but that’s as far the connection, can you tell me as well how to reach the files at my network, I mean I can reach my phone through my pc but reaching my files at my server even through ftp didn’t work until now, the control over my phone isn't a problem. By the way the external soundbox doesn't need any driver it’s supposed to be plug and pray.

It is for PC and not for Pocket PC or smartphone like USB connector should tell.
Diamonds or any other phones do not output power through miniusb to power devices. You have to go tablet pc or bigger devices if you want to plug USB things in it.
even if it is plug and play or not but it is not made for phones.

Hey guys,
Well I wish to start a small project, where a computer should be able to access wireless internet (3G/HSDPA), WiFi, make calls, maybe use bluetooth, etc... Then I realized that my old HTC TyTn II has all that features... And its faster than the PC im gonne use.
Problem is my HTC screen cracked. So I cant see anything. Thats why I wondered if its possible to set up a Headless Linux System. With that in place I could prob traffic all the things I need via usbnet to the PC (like internet).
The purpose...
Well the reason for this project is a small computer in my car. I ripped out a old laptop and started mounting it in my car. The laptop will then be used to control the HTC, seeing as I doubt one can add external inputs on the HTC. My laptop also has a 10GB HDD and a working screen. So a combo of the two seems fair...
Any advice on this would be very appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I am about to do the same, replacing radio console.
I have some touchscreen lifebooks for this purpose, you can get one for
$100 $200 in miserable state, but to disassemble, who cares
idea was to change dpi in XP and replace explorer on startup, put a 8 button big startup window, with gps, media, video, internet
now you can hook up mobile by "Pocket Controller" it's a reverse remote desktop. you see mobile screen on pc
hope this get you some ideas
How insane is it that you have a computer that is slower then your phone?
There is a program to remote control your phone, I forget the name.
would it be the one I wrote in prev post
you can buy it at soti.net. working pretty good.
no, this one is free. I shall do some digging.

and a friend suggested this one.
http://www.julien-manici.com/
can't understand how could I have missed this when I was searching for one, and it's pretty old too. good tip, though too late for me.
Hey guys,
Thanks allot for the replies... I tried MyMobiler but it doesn't want to connect and seeing that I cant see the screen I am not sure whats happening... Appart from that you guys seem to be misunderstanding me totally!
Problem 1, MyMobiler only runs on windows, and I run Linux...
Problem 2, scripts cant be excecuted on the fly and communications between my two computers wont be possible with Windows Mobile.
Problem 3, Windows mobile crashes and my system will fail totally if my system ever crashes!
Besides, windows mobile have allot of junk I dont need. All I want is a simple Linux system on my HTC on which I can ssh in that will give no video output nor receive input from hardware, but that acts completely as a headless system.
It would also be cool if someone can tell me what hardware I can remove and how (Like the screen) in order to minimize power requirements...
So all I need is a version of Linux and a guide to install it so that all the functions work...
Hope this makes more sense...
Xethron
no Xethron, we didn't misunderstood you. I simply wrote what is my concept of laptop in car and ChumleyEX reacted further on my post too.
winmo is not stable, we all know that, but you should know too that linux is not so on winmo devices too. and that it is much more unstable.
It would be very nice indeed if there was no windows at all and everybody would be using linux, but if that would happen, linux would be the same commercial crap as is windows now, because that's what people are after. and that's the market. Nice fancy easy crap.
Though I encourage you to go with your linux idea, with a lot of effort, there could be perfect solution, but again, it would be much easier to just use what we've got.
If you would look around here, you'll see that on xda-dev you'll find a lot of solutions how to make a very tiny and fast winmo ROM. Stripped of all the crap. You can learn here how to strip even more, leaving only kernel + some drivers if you want.
What hw can you disconnect. I reckon you mean from pda. As you said screen backlight, that's a power eater, otherwise, devices could be turned ON/OFF from sw, which would by much safer/easier way. And you said you want to use them. instead, if you'll connect external antenna, that would spare you a lot of power while transmitting.
You should write more specific questions in order to get specific answers.
for example I am not getting it why you would want to spare 20mA consumption on some pda device and not better think about replacing HDD by CF card or ssd?
what would be your application requirements?
back for using pda in linux, it's in test state, you won't find any better working linux in pda as here. no one is hiding it nowhere. bluetooth is not working yet, phone functions are limited. wifi ok, but I doubt you could route it to PC.
as I doubt one can add external inputs on the HTC

yes you can. bluetooth can create virtual com ports. there are BT keyboards, pointing devices too. and generally anything else what uses com port could be made. even video can go out. (all just in windows of course)
for the pda remote programs:
you need a client on pda side. it's automatic simple installation. You may try soti controller it have trial period, with that one, you only need to press left soft key on kaiser to confirm client install. After you'll have this one workingt you would be able to see what you would need with the other one.
wow... that was a useful post!
The reason I want to use the phone is so that my PC can do all the things my phone can do... Reasons for this would be the following.
I come to my car. My phone syncs via bluetooth remotely to unlock my car. I get into car. Type password. Security system goes down... I stream songs via bluetooth to my pc which plays on the car speakers. I get out. Phone looses bluetooth connection and locks automatically. Someone comes and opens the door. PC picks up door is open and sets off an alarm. Phone calls me, and sends me a sms of the GPS location... If I dont respond it sends a email to all my friends. I connect to my car via ssh and keep track of its current position. depending on other connections I have made (Like you said bluetooth might be a good bet) i can controll parts of the car via ssh. Maybe install a fuel cutoff switch or whatever. With allot of effort I get my car back. Come home. It syncs wia wifi. New music gets uploaded... And my car is ready for day 2!
Simple direction of where I wanne go...
So now that you understand what I want to do... The linux on my HTC was a way for me to simply control the hardware and run a few small scripts... Wanne run some security scripts on the HTC instead of PC because it has the backup battery and the laptop will be running off the car battery...
I really don't care how we do this... But I know it must be possible to do all this somehow...
Let me know if you have some rad other ideas... As you can see I do not really want to "see" wats going on on my phone... It must be there like the PC of a car... Tell you the tempreture on some LCD. Let you know the water level is fine... But you dont see the PC... Thats my idea anyway...
Thanks for your help so far

bluetooth is a secure way, but not very safe, I've been using 3 different Hsets, with 2 diff phones, it kept on loosing connection and some even pairing. other thing, you need to iniciate BT connection (not always with audio, but yes with activesync) that means no touch-less access. and the last is battery consuption. I've been reading long time ago about an application for garage doors based on wifi connections. they discussed BT as well, decided wifi would be much better, try google (open garage wifi) there is even an soft for pda for this.
but there are $50 - $80 ready applications, it's years out there, I reckon the last version would be very reliable.
There is option to put serial GPS, which you can get off ebay for $50 (here is 5pcs for $50 now, if you'll buy it, i'll get two off you)
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/5-LOT-Garmin...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35a9b4b768
and the application:
http://www.bladox.com/products.php?lang=en
and I saw other brand with the same thing too.
with this bladox, you can simply set that if you take out key and open & close drivers doors it would lock with timer (that's option what most of available classic alarms too) or a button to lock with timer to leave could be hooked up.
you can set plenty of outputs and inputs, freely configurable. e.g remotely shut the engine, horn the horn, knock on window function...
consuption would be around 20mA on charging mobile. with car battery 100mA is a concern and 200mA permanent current is an issue. (all time running PC = 2A = 2000mA = NO WAY)
locking-unlocking could be done through ring (without answering) or sms.
I would say ring is pretty safe, as who would go through trouble of tempering with gsm switch control to fake your caller ID? (+ who would know about you have this setup + know your car phene num and your phone number)
and if a friend would call you he forget a wallet in your car, you don't need to get up of bed to unlock, just dial.
I stream songs via bluetooth to my pc which plays on the car speakers.

audio quality isn't 100% plus maybe switching/pairing and your mobile needs to be on a charge for playing longer through BT -> no wireless.
use your phone in a disk drive mode and play from PC in car OR
your pda in car through SD to USB adapter (TwinMOS GoGo Egg Card Reader)
there would be limit 64GB for sure, maybe 2GB limit (is it SDHC compatible?)
I don't know nothing about it, only that it exists

bladox can do + power on your PC which would start streaming video from web cam, you can call to car and tell the guy how he looks like and where he's going and that police is already waiting there.

ha, stop dreaming get OBD II and live it!
connect your car engine through cable OR WIFI!! to PC or PDA!! and look at all temperatures, compression levels, exhaust system, error msgs, and if you like make it active and let your car know you feel like having fun now, or maybe more econo mode other time.
OBD II - all cars since yr 96 on US market, $50 -$100 for interface (soft free)
Hi all,
I would like to get a linux PC screen from my GalaxyTab using an USB connection. My aim is to use the Tablet as a screen since my pc doesn't have it.
I know I could use an ssh remote screen with the Wifi but is not what I wnat to do, I'd like a wired connection.
As there is apps allowing to see the Tab screen on the PC the opposite should be technically possible. Does anyone know how I could do this ?
Using an "USB LAN" would be enougth as I mainly need to get wen site hosted on the PC.
iDisplay from the market extends the screen. Similar to what you want. It just shows it's technically possible.
Thanks for answering, it looks like what I want to do. As I have a non desktop linux I am not sure I can use it directly, but it is a very nice clue.
I tested iDisplay, it did work ...
Did you tesed it on USB ?
From a non graphical linux ?
I have installed all drivers i could fine. Whenever i plug the watch into my pc it doesn't even make the chime sound, nor does the device show up in device manager.
Can someone please help me, i just got my watch two days ago and would like to enable more cores because mines quite laggy on android wear 2.0.
If you have enabeld USB Debugging ?
This you can do in the Developers Options.
If you dont see Developers Options under SETTINGs then you must first enable the Developer Options...
To do this ...
Go to SETTINGS there in Devices Info and then TAP 7 times at Buildnumber... after this go back to Settings and you see the Developers Options and there you can enable USB Debugging
Sorry for my bad english...
i have already done that also. ive tried about everything i can fine. the dock charges the watch just fine, i have also tried different usb cords. is there any way to adb over wifi?

Hey did you found any solution?
I am on the same boat, the watch can charge and works (laggy) fine, but I am unable to let it be recognize in any way.
I tried same USB cord with several phones and it's ok, but the watch cannot be in any way recognized...
Someone please help us out lmao, the watch is so damn laggy and battery is awful.
I managed to do adb over wifi on the watch, but obivously this do not help with unlocking bootloader or anything in fastboot mode..

Did you all download and try the latest adb? I was having this same issue and turned out that once I updated the adb from the Android sdk, everything worked perfectly.
Uhm, I'll try thank you!
I downloaded all the driver I could get, even from official android.com site, but still the issue is same:
When I plug USB cable in the PC, I get no chime sound or request of anything: tried putting the watch on cradle in standard running mode, in fastboot mode, or in recovery or even powered off.
Same result: no reaction from PC at all.
Tried connecting various phones with same cable as the watch cradle usb cable, everytime the driver kick-in and phone is detected and system either use Google USB driver or ask for drivers.
I read somewhere on the internet that if phone is not connected with Wear app the smartwatch is not connected? But how to do that if the watch is in fastboot mode for unlocking?
Btw I also found that the system update was to version NXG47C and now the fastboot menù is indicating that bootloader is version LENOK22b (secure boot is enabled in green and lock state is locked).
I am lost, even the SDK Android drivers did not change a thing, but more than anything else I do not get why PC do nothing (not even chime sound) when plugging in, my cradle is original and all things come from its box from 2014..I never tried before connection so I do not know if that was working before, but I am starting to think I need a new cradle maybe...

I have 2 cradles (that -same thing as you- work with anything else instantly) and since the NXG47C/LENOK22b combo simply do not work, so it seems it isn't a cradle problem. :crying:
Did you find anything else, codymamak?

Sadly, no.
I was just looking to cradle options but what you are reporting here now makes me believing that really, it's something else...but probably only LG knows why they did that...Only reason I can think of, is to make us users purchase newer models locking out features that make it still good with AW 2.0
It's really a pity.
My only other idea is to try with a different OS, as atm I got only Win 10 64bit Creator Update , but I could use a old HDD and try with a Win 7 32bit...but it's a LOOOOOOOOONG shot as from my experience at least the chime sound should be there...:crying:
Oh! Different OS - I forgot to mention it before, sorry: I tried on Windows 10 and MacOS.
Again, both work fine with other Android USB-debugging-active devices.
Sorry for adding more bad news to an already bad story.. :/
I would have guessed this, sadly.
Well, this means something needs to be found to reactivate the fastboot connection from the devs...meanwhile, I found that the old dev options to lower the scale of the animations improves a bit the slugginess of the watch...
Let's hope someone notices this thread and find a way to help us out, as I'm 100% no-dev...

Exactly same thing about me. USB plugged in and nothing happen, I tried win 10 OS and win7 - same problem - I also thought it is cradle problem, I almost bought a new one but after you wrote I dont't think I could help look we are stucked with AW2.0 and only thing is hope someone will find solution for this...
I am still stuck on this situation, no way to make watch try the USB connection.
Could it be possible that the latest update disabled the USB ADB?
Can someone confirm if the USB ADB files are still in the package?
And if not, is it possible to add them back using for example ADB over wifi, through maybe the original recovery if not possible with system running?

It is really anointing when some other users write about downgrade without problems. I'm thinking how is it possible, so everyone got the same version of AW2.0, it is really weird
I have 2.0 on gwr and my win 8 recognised them. I just installed adb usb drivers in same way as I did for Huatch: as Motorola android sooner composite adb interface.

Probably installed with drivers for motorola phone. The thing is I did not install this exact adb driver on purpose. I found it as I was trying out anything to make the watch connect to PC. It was a pure luck.
same thing happen to me!
I thought it was the cradle, I have 3 cradles, though all is not original, all fail. so I though the cradle only can charge. But I vaguely remember I once using it to flash, but my memory is not so reliable, so it can be the original or the 'not original'.
I can connect ADB using the bluetooth debug mode and go to fastboot, but even in fastboot mode, my pc still cannot detect the watch.
I have a touch screen display that came from an advertising display, it has HDMI, USB, and a sd card, it does have a WiFi antenna as well. I was given the touchscreen and wanted I could possibly do with it as it is is android. How can I find out information about the android os build number or who actually manufactures the device. It has no names on it anywhere. I want to install a android os that has the same set up with all touch screen features such an a tablet. Any help out here
I doubt you will find much you can do with it, but good luck.
It's a 23'" touch screen could I set it up as monitor? How would I even start, I'm new to android
Could be done maybe. There are certainly apps that will do it wirelessly, but not sure if there is a cabled solution.
