This may seem like an obvious question but is there any problem wireless tethering the NC to a rooted htc evo using wireless tethering? I ask because I read that the galaxy tab could have a problem with doing this and I want to make sure I can do what I want to before I but one
I am evo rooted on CM6 nightlies.. wifi connected perfect on my first try...
Sweet! That's what I needed to know thanks
I have an Evo, rooted with unrevoked3, installed wifi hotspot app from Google Code...no issues whatsoever.
Got a NC for son and it's awesome on CM7 on eemc and OC at 1325 Mhz! Enjoyed it and the community and just ordered a refurb for myself (overstock.com $185 with coupon).
Then I saw Galaxy Tab 3g refurb for $270 and had some buyers remorse. Read some more reviews and comparisons, and tab usually comes out ahead (don't think their NC's are fully optimized to latest).
Can live w/o camera and GPS (have GPS tether). Get buy with soft buttons. NC has better screen (actually liking the dpi now after adjusting), better build and better dev I think (CM7 and such). My Sammy Epic's dev is limited by their touchwiz framework...
What would u say?

the tab is a better tablet, BUT its not $100 better, if your spending the amount for a tab then spend a little more for a real tablet.
does the NC not do all that you wish?
Personally, no. Yes, the Tab has a better CPU/GPU, but not enough to sway me (my nook plays all my games quite well); like you I don't need the camera and GPS, so there is nothing else for me.
Now, if both tablets were the same price when i was shopping, the decision might have been different. But as it is now, i do not regret the nook one bit.
I was going to say "of course" because I thought by "New Galaxy Tab" you meant the new galaxy tab.
But - you mean the old galaxy tab. So, no, I wouldn't trade. I like the Nook build and screen better. Even though I nerd out on nightly builds and custom kernels and the like, I use my nook primarily as a reader with bonus features, and I really don't think it gets much better for my purposes.

I'm thinking that bluetooth is a bigger issue for me which is why I'm still on the fence about the NC vs other Tablets (including the Tab). I would like to watch movies/videos on the NC but the sound is so terrible that a BT headset or external BT speakers would satisfy me. I could never get the BT to work though. Thoughts on that?

Good pt about the speakers. I poot "nook tweaks" on my son's and the sound seems better. Haven't tried with headphones but it will prob be ok.
Check the dev thread... I think bluetooth is comming around. Not sure what capabilities are.
The week I was setting up my sons... I found myself using it a lot, instead of my phone... saving battery.
Question: what burns more phone battery, using it for surfing, or keeping the screen of with wifi tether on?
Question: I wonder if that Tab required some kind of Sprint activation? That's a deal killer when I have wifi-tether!

I have both the NC and Galaxy Tab 7 (wifi) and am selling my galaxy tab...there is virtually no support for it (the wifi version) in any community, the bluetooth is so locked down that you can't do much more than a headset (no HID) and the interface looks pretty cartoonish in my opinion (along with no launchers working from the market). I know that there are 3 different versions of the Tab, so this is my experience with the wifi version, but I'm much happier with my nook. And with CM7.0.3 it's better than ever! The next version should be hitting soon, as the nightlys have reached right about 100, which should have a lot of upgrades.
As for bluetooth, I personally have no problem getting a headset to work (not the mic of course) in CM7 as long as you follow some of the "shortcuts" to get it to work.
Lol... No. Next upgrade will be a cheap tegra 2 (after prices drop during the holiday season) or a tegra 3 from Amazon ;p.
A big no. There are too many varieties and too few roms. There are more than one GSM version, more than one CDMA version and the wifi version doesn't even use the Tegra. I would be better to wait for the Amazon tablet.

Huh? BT has been working for some time now. I use a Jabra SP700 with my nook every day to and from work. The nook is mounted like a GPS on the windshield, and the SP700 is clipped to the sun visor. Range has not been an issue, and the sound quality is great (i use the SP700's FM transmitter, so i have the nook playing over the stereo.
nobody use headphones anymore?
I have a review unit for the (actual) new Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I still don't know if I'd replace my personal Nook color with it. It is very impressive spec wise and plays things great, but the Nook being at most half the price of the new Tab means the Nook is a great value for a basic tablet.

No, i am running on eMMC; and have been able to pair it since BT support came out. I am not sure what device you have specifically, but i know for sure others have used headsets with ease. I would try again..
I had some trouble getting BT to turn on when I was running CM7.0.3 from SD--sometimes I had to turn off Wi-Fi, reboot the NC, then turn on BT, then Wi-Fi, at which point they would play nice. Since I moved to eMMC (and have also been running the CM7.1beta + recent nightlies), BT has been flawless with no more jumping through hoops and reliable connections to my phone and wiimote.
As for the two different questions in the OP, would I trade my NC for the new Galaxy Tab? Probably, because I could sell the Galaxy Tab and buy a new NC and a new phone with the proceeds However, would I return a $185 NC and then buy a $270 Tab refurb? Probably not. My number one use for the NC is still as a reader, including comics, and you can't beat that screen.

Thanks for the feedback... I haven't tried installing eMMC so I may give that a shot. I listen to a lot of audiobooks WHILE I read or while I cook. The BT really will make this what I want.
As for the Tab vs NC - I like the way you put it. I think I'll stick with mine until the Asus Transformer has been around a bit longer.

Yes, I think 99% of the people here use it or apps like it. Overclocking to 1300 (and beyond for some- 1200 is most stable all around). The Nook tweaks app is more for customized stepping and more importantly, LOUDER sound. A huge complaint was that the speaker was way too quiet, with or without headphones. I can confirm this fixed that easily...and for free.
A rooter NC (stock rooted or CM7) is still hands down the best bang for your buck.
Nope. The only feature I would want is the webcam. With the 1200 MHz kernal 512 megs ram and cm7 nightlies, I cat imagine anything more fun. Cheap too!
Besides, I really don't like Samsung either. From what I've heard, they make Foxconn look like a day at the beach.
Hi,
I'm looking for a device that would allow me to replicate the screen of my HTC one on my full HD TV.
I would like to to able to do the same thing with the same device but with my mac
I think my solution is called miracast.
Am i right ?
Which device is known to work perfectly with the HTC One ?
Any idea of how to make it work with my macbook pro and iPad ?
many thanks !
HD MediaLink
Are you talking about the HD Media Link? This little accessory mirrors the screen on the HTC One to your TV. But depending on what you're doing, your experience may vary. If you like to look at photos and basically anything still, then this will work. But any fast paced moving pixels, forget about it. The only game that I've tried that works well is angry birds, but even then it stutters. I don't know how you plan on using it, but I'd say it's not worth $90. ATT gave it away for free during their preorder promotion.
This device, to the best of my knowledge, does not work with any other device besides HTC devices with at least Sense 4.0. If you want your mac/iphone/ipod to work, you need to get an appletv. Hope this helps.

Hi,
No i'm not talking about the Media Link that seems to work only with HTC devices.
I'm talking about a miracast dongle/box that i'll be able to use with my htc one, my iPad, my S2, my macbook pro, etc
Anyone have try Netgear PTV3000 with HTC One?
According to Google, the HTC One supports Miracast, but for your Apple devices only Airplay will work. Try to find a device that supports both.

There is a device called Xiaomi Box by a chinese company which is the only known device which supports Miracast as well as Airplay. Although this device is very hard to get due to its high demand in china. Try your luck. Most other devices like Belkin screencast, netgear ptv 3000, etc only support miracast.

I tried a Samsung allshare cast dongle with the HTC One and it seems to work. The One sees it as a miracast device and connects OK. The screen updates just fine but there is a serious audio sync issue when playing videos. I need to do some more testing.

Miracast should be universal solution for Android devices, it is still young technology and there is not much information or tests and reviews.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/21/feature_wtf_is_miracast/
Bit of a flop about this is that we can't use existing technology, wireless connection, TV, PC's or consoles for that, like with DLNA. Those are designated dongles that plug into TV or monitor. If you type "miracast" in eBay search you'll find some dongles, but IMHO they are still too expensive, on par with Android media players which are far more complex and versatile. There are some hints that it can be enabled in Windows 7/8.1 using Intel WiDi but that is hardware limited. Maybe not for long

Sorry duplicate post.
There is a video here about HTC One Miracast(NETGEAR PTV3000)

Just tried it with Sony Bravia W905 and it was no-go
One sees Bravia as Miracast compatible device, Bravia registers One and then after looong waiting nothing happens. And again, and again, reboot, restart, nothing. Oh well.

Yep, I tried configuring my One with Sony W655 and same story as above, both see each other, configured but then looong wait and nothing...
Maybe 4.2.2 will fix that?
I already am on 4.2.2. - ARHD 12. We even updated software on TV, didn't help.
Well, in that case it sucks...
It would be great to have this functionality out of the box...

Get yourself the Samsung allshare dongle. It works flawlessly. Sad part it works better with my HTC one then with my samsung tablet

I have a Raspberry Pi connected to my TV, running XBMC (xbian).
I can simply use the "Select Player" option in the top right menu on my HTC when viewing pictures and select my XBMC device (xbian) I can then control the slideshow, shown on my TV pretty cool.
The videos I made with the HTC One are using 22mbit/s bitrate (ridiculously high) so that will never work via Wifi (unless you have a very expensive 11ac router).
But I could test it with other videos of course... will report back.
using the Yatse app, you will be able to stream anything to XBMC btw... but its a paid app. I think it uses DLNA tech.

Hi Globen, is this with videos taken on the HTC One or streaming videos? What's a youtube video like? I only ask because mine has a serious lipsync issue but works fine for photos and non-video screens.
Hello
For some reason wifi range is really bad, about 4m (in line of sight even) 5ghz and 2.4 ghz. Sometimes 5Ghz range is better than 2.4Ghz
I've tried different routers (Netgear, Buffalo and TP-Link) and channels but it's about the same. When I stand 2m from my router Netgear WNDR3700 the wifi signal on One fluctuates from full to zero. When watching Youtube it fluctuates like made even when I'm next to the router. Its really random. Is my new Htc One bad?
Version 1.29.401.16
The range is great on mine on 2.4g. Currently 30 feet away from Wifi router with signal traveling through two walls.
You might want to check out Wifi Analyser app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
I've tried Wifi Analyser. Can see the signal fluctuate in real time :/ . I'm the only one with Wifi here. My old SGS3 hadd almost full bars 13m away (40 feet) Wifes Galaxy Note has about 2 bars.
At 15m i have 2 bars...
at 17 1
Just tested, at 5m it disconnects and uses only cell data. Guess I have to return it.. This is my first HTC device, not a good start :crying:
Here are images from Wifi Analyzer

Why would I do that? All other devices I have/had works fine with it. It's only HTC One that won't. It's a faulty unit in my opinion.

So whats the problem? If it isn't hardware releated? If tested with three different routers and channels and I got the same bad results. All routers tested is N capable and other devices works fine with them. Lots of different laptops, tablets etc..
Edit:
Here are comparisong shots of my old Sgs3, same distance.
FYI
I got a new HTC One now, and Wifi works flawless now. It was a bad unit.
Hey everyone. I gotta say, the droid turbo is an incredible phone even without the promised 48 hour battery life. However, I can not find any info on support for MHL or not. I've got a pioneer radio (this one to be exact) that demands it and so far I can't get it to work. Any help/alternatives to MHL? Thanks.

When I looked for the spec everything I read kept referring to some form of casting or mirroring wirelessly. I am disappointed and pretty confident there is no MHL

I don't know about MHL, but it is compatible with WiDi, MiraCast and AllCast/AllShare.
Just turn on your WiFi then bring up the toggles from the notifications screen and you will see a Cast Screen option.

Droid Turbo doesn't support video out over a wired connection. Your best bet is to buy a Miracast dongle like the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter or Belkin Miracast Adapter and an HDMI coupler (Female to Female).
Connect the coupler to the HDMI sticking out of the radion and connect the adapter to the coupler. You'll need to provide power the wireless adapter as well.
For the Pioneer radio set the settings to HDMI connection type for AppRadio Mode, pair the Bluetooth from phone the radio and go to your display settings on your phone and connect to the wireless adapter.
PM me if you need more help.
