[Q] Simultaneous Use of Internal Memory

Hi Folks,
thanks for a great discussions on this forum, it helped me a lot in some issues!
I have had a good idea of having a "universal" device since my first pda. And I thought I would get one with Diamond, but unfortunately... The issue is that am trying to use Diamond as a GPS device and a memory unit at the same in my car... I have an MP3 car radio with USB (incl. power supply), so what I am trying to get is:
-> Running GPS inside Diamond (e.g. Navigon)
-> Running car radio (supplying Diamond with power)
-> Car radio reads Diamond's internal flash memory over USB
Until now I only managed that Diamond's GPS running and getting power over USB (-> selected ActiveSync after plugging in the USB cable into car radio) OR Diamond's internal memory serving MP3s for my car audio and charging itself over USB.
So my question: Is it theoretically possbile to get what I want?
I know, setting Diamond as internal memory demounts the flash for external USB device and makes it unavailable for internal applications... And ActiveSync will never work with the car audio... And there is not enough space to place GPS maps into ROM... But probably you have some ideas or tweaks of apps, which could help me???
So what I tried was:
1. Creating two memory patritions my SD-card with my old XDA mini S and demounting them with WM5torage. It didn't work with mini S as WM5torage recognised only one created partition. It also didn't work with Diamond as I could not create two partitions on it (for several reasons).
2. I tried to find an extra soft app, which would "extend" ROM emulating it by using the space of the internal memory. Didn't work.
3. Use different USB modes...
So do you have an idea?
Thanks and regards,
schroschy

I've got the same kind of car radio... but I don't see any chance to get what you (and I) want. so get yourself a usb-memory-stick (with even more than 4 gb) or a second diamond
Anrgy...
Argh... I'm so f**king angry!
'Cause HTC Diamond Pro, which comes out in a couple of weeks, got 512 MB ROM and an external miniSD card slot - just enough to place a map of Germany or enough mp3's / ogg's on each sigle partition!
Bastards...
EDIT: But there MUST be a workaround! I can't believe it doesn't work! I heard Micro$oft is working on an alternative product to ActiveSync... Maybe it'll help us...
Any further suggestions?
a new radio...
i thought about a new radio with bluetooth. so you can play music with the diamond and use tomtom at the same time and hear both (music and commands) through the speakers in your car...
it's cheaper than buying a pro
there was an app for older pdas that would allow you to present the storage as a disk , i think you could also still access it from the pda
@cookie: you guess you mean WM5torage... i tried this one, it didn't work with xda mini s (qtek 9100). and it does not work with wm6.1 anyway...
@Herr_Knigge: i though about it... what you mean is basically using diamond's internal media player and transmitting audio via bluetooth, don't you? i will try it out next time at the media store and will share my experiences...
thus, if anyone has a good workaround / tweak / app to solve the problem - you are welcome
I'm curious about why you're so determined to get this to work... is it so that you don't have to buy a car charger kit?
Seriously, you can get a 4GB flash drive for peanuts
@Davey101:
well sure you can get an SD for peanuts, but hangig around with your sd-card plus cardreader plus all this chargers etc. is what i hate... why can't i have everything in one device???
@Herr_Kringe:
i had a small BT-test in the media store on firday. it worked fine (with some minor interruptions when loading) with sony mex bt 5000. however, i am not sure about the sound quality. sony supported special audio-streaming-mode and i started diamond's bluetooth-headset-mode... so i guess it was all mono sound. thus you can tweak it to joint stereo in diamond's regestry...
another thing i'm worried about using BT is the volume level. since the audio player is running in diamond and not in the car audio device, loudness maximization inside diamond could cause some distortions. and i am not sure if there is any sound wave normalization / limiting inside the bluetooth interface. i will do some more tests this week.
PS! another cool thing was that navigation speech was also heard in car radio over bluetooth there was kind of a loundess controller between player and navigation, so the player turned down the level to hear the navigation speech

Wince Incar SatNav Stereo - Works with TomTom?

Hi I have a in car stereo, with dvd, tv, radio etc, and satnav capability. It has sd cards, and a built in satnav capability. It is one of the units that are exported from china. It runs Route66 v7 with no problems, quite fast and accurately. I tried TomTom v6 on the device.
It runs, all voice prompts work, its connects to the gps ok, but it has problems keeping hold of the gps location, and randomly jumps around, but comes back to the current location when driving.
Does anyone know what the problem is/might be and how to fix?

Hi,
That's a problem of TT. It seems TT is very strict on which satellite it uses and which it ignores. I tried upgrading to a different version of TT but it's all the same. Guess it also depends on what chipset is used.

Navigation sound/Alert are slient till i select BT Mode on KIA Sporatge 2017

Dears
when open google maps the Navigation sound/Alert are silent till i select the BT Audio on my car audio device [KIA Sportage 2017] ,,means that i`m not allowed to listen to radio or even music on the USB stick in case i need to use the navigation ,this was not the situation when i used iPhone 6 Plus on the same car audio device . Anyone faced this issue before . i`m sure that Huawei should handle this incompatibilities in a better manner .

External mic on head unit stops working when navigating

I dont know if this is an AA issue or a bug in my new android-powered head unit. The head unit has an external mic mounted on the dash and an internal one that is accessed via a button on the unit.
When I start AA and Maps is running I can use the external mic as per normal but as soon as I get Maps to start navigating, the external mic cuts off and I have to use the internal one.
When I tell Maps to stop navigating the external mic becomes active again.
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
You don't mention the make and model of the unit. Is it AA or kanged Android/Chinese origin head unit.
Sorry, its called Atoto S8 Premium Second Gen so Chinese origin running Android 10.
