I know people with a pda with GPS receiver built in, like the Yakumo or the Mio168. It's great that you don't have to bother with charging a bluetooth adaptor or getting connection and it's more compact.

At the back you have a small metal plate that you can turn up as the gps receiver.
It would be great, an XDAIIi like PDA Phone including an integrated gps receiver and wifi! The receiver is above at the back (where the lens of the xdaIIi is), i would gladly give up the camera with poor quality for this built in receiver. I just downloaded pugs camera rom update with better cam, but nothing compares a real cam with flash. So better off with a built in gps receiver I find.
I wonder if there are any PDA phones like the XDAIIi with wifi & gps receiver integrated yet? Maybe a new future Qtek? Would be great!
This would be the only pda phone wich I would give up my xdaIIi.
Anyone knows this dream pda-phone exists?
wait for the new mio ..i'm gonna buy 1 in the near future after it has been on the market for a while and all the bugs taken out...never get caught short again like with the xda2i ...if i can help it that is

You forgot integrated WIFI (not on MIO A0701)
Yeah, but it hasn't wifi integrated, still have to buy an external sdio wifi card. I'm comming from an XDAII to XDAII especially cause wifi was integrated, now gps is integrated but no wifi.
Still no all in one solution... And i think this will not be so flexible like xdaIIi with all the rom upgrades, tools and forum.

:lol:
Nice try, but this is no PDA Phone!
This is only a PDA with WIFI & GPS integrated but no GSM functionallity like the XDAIIi.
See it's hard to find, or still have to come out yet
Keep on searching
eish you are hard to please Innovator :wink: :wink: but that i-mate certainly looks good ,as i only want it for phone or navigating with wm2005 ,i wonder which is gonna be the better phone then
Sorry, guess i assumed it would be a Phone-PPC like all I-mates

If you have both - here is what you can do. Open ashtray, put two rubber stoppers on both sides at the bottom, plug cable, done

I have an RS6 with RNSE bluetooth....
When I pair Athena and RNSE BT then they both find each other and works fine as handfree headset profile.
But when Athena is connected with RNSE BT, it wil auto disconnect and then connect again after few second and repeat the cycle.
I found that if I disable the power safe mode form Athena and will solve the prblem....
Does any one have a solution for this?
Thanks!

You might like to try changing the bluetooth stack from the MS one. Haven't tried that on my Ameo yet (but used to do it on my Exec) so can't help as to whether it will work.

Try asking one of the Exec developers (eg Midget or Jwright) - they may be able to to help or direct you to a compatible version of the Widcomm stack
I bought one of those little adapters on ebay, such as the one you can see here: Link
Couple of things:
- Music - it now sounds brilliant through my personal headphones - the ones that come in the box with the diamond are indeed complete rubbish. But that was fairly obvious anyway. I'm impressed with the quality of the diamond now.
- Taking calls. Now we have a BIG PROBLEM. When a call comes through, the audio is routed through to my headphones as you would expect. But the problem is that the diamond must think there is a microphone attached as well, as noone can hear me speak until I pull the headphones out of the diamond and it's internal mic kicks in!! Then when the call is ended the music starts blasting out of the speaker of the diamond while I'm madly trying to plug the headphones back in, amidst getting all sorts of annoyed looks from people next to me on the tram that WERE sleeping until I woke them up..... Woops
Does anybody know a workaround for this? How can I make the diamond think there is NO microphone plugged in when I'm using the headphones?? Will I have to short some pins on the connector...? Anyone have the pin layout for the 11 pin HTC connector? Or is there an easier way.... Help from the experienced is appreciated. Cheers.
OK so here are the pinouts:

So it would seem that 'disabling' pins 7 and 12 on the adapter might do the trick.... Or maybe they already are disabled on some of the adapters out there..
It's going to be hard to do on such a small thing... Does anyone know a way to trick the OS or disable it in the registry somehow??

Have you try this adpater to listen to radio without the headphone. By plugging in this and set the radio to speaker phone.
what about that ??
you can plug any 3.5 headphones you want, it works for the fm radio, and you have a mic so you can talk when receiving a call without having to do the unplug replug acrobatic move you used to ....

Hm... I plugged in mine (I use the RC e100), and somehow all other headphones (also high quality one) I have are all worse then the one within the box =( very annoying, as the the htc headphones are far to big and ugly =(
Also the whole audio stuff is poor on the diamond - I read s.th. of an audio booster bug, but no way to cure it =(
What have you done to have such a good qualtity?
Thanks for all of your replies.
I ended up going with the RC E100 as you suggested and some other people here seem to think they work well. Well, they definitely do!
I've plugged my Sony's into them and they sound awesome. Really impressed with the audio quality now. Just have to figure out where to hide all the cable!! 2 metres + hiding inside my jacket! Might have to get the scissors and soldering iron out and re-work it...
The only problem is that the supplied driver with the RCE100 does not install on the diamond, or maybe its a problem that I'm using Vista with Windows Mobile Device Centre instead of Windows XP with Activesync. I will try and install the CAB file manually.
The Play/FF/RW on the headset only controls the built-in audio player in TouchFLO 3D, need to figure out how to make it work with Core Player.... And to answer you question Basthet, it sounds much better with Core Player, no audio booster bug, it has built in pre-amp and also equalizer and you can make your music sound very very nice with it. Highly recommended. It does not cure the little skip you hear in audio tracks; it is now clear this is an Operating System/Hardware issue.
I know that acrobatic move that you speak of, and it made me laugh to see that I'm not the only one running into that problem. Happened to me while official exams were being held in the classroom nearby, nearly got me expelled.
After upgrading my radio firmware and having the latest IGO8 installed, I tried having it auto configure TMC. After awhile, it said 'TMC Hardware found' and moved to a 'TMC Station Settings' screen. Since TMC is not used in Canada (?) I cannot test anything.
Can anyone else who has a similar setup and lives somewhere that TMC is used, try having IG08 Auto-Configure the TMC hardware, and report back with their results?
Radio firmware = 1.00.25.08
IGO8 v 8.0.0.49545
Daren
Wow that sounds quite interessenting.
Unfortunatly I have uninstalled iGO 8 on my device and kept on working with TT7. So I am not able to test it at the moment.
I might try it with TT7 today.
Greetings...
Protocol?
What protocol did iGO find?
Can you scan radio channels?
I have the same iGO version with .05 radio and it didn't find TMC for me.
My Igo8 found TMC too, but no Channel scan. I use the 1.03.25.18 Radio, but I think it finds the FM Radio, even with headset put in no TMC Signal.
Ghostrider
Here also TMC is detected now!
Tried automatic channel-scan with headset plugged in, but no signal was found... :/
I also cannot chose FM-Frequencies manually:

Same problem, "No TMC Signal"
You have to plug in the headphones because the lead is the antenna.
i have the same problem like capsman and fhsieh.
it does not work also with headset
same, "no signal"
(headset plugged in)
it doesn't start to search, or do anything, so I think it won't work in this way.
Here the same on a Touch Pro. Same protocol and port number, but no signal and no tuning possible Maybe we need som xda-developer to hack the Radio module in our phones..
I've got a touch pro (fuze) and it doesn't find any tmc hardware. anyone have any suggestions on this?
Use app2radio and turn your car touch-screen in-dash navigton/radio into a touch screen for your phone!
Ok, so I researched this, bought the parts, set it up in my car..... and can verify this works with our S4.
Pioneer makes a multi-touch head unit to install in your car. The creator of the app called arliborator created a program for your phone (that replaces the Pioneer program) that allows your phone to hdmi out your screen on the in-dash display. Additionally the app allows it so that when you press (or pinch/multi-touch) the in-dash display in your car, it controls your phone!
So now I can control my phone from the dash and have my phone display on the dash
Great for: google maps, movies, pandora tuned-in radio. The other thing I can do is have in-dash obd readings from my car (I have a bluetooth obd reader installed in my car). So I can see my mph, mpg, rpms, as well as check and clear fault codes..... all from my dash!
The head unit a rear view camera hookup. It uses the radio's gps which is faster lock than our phones (and it doesn't use phone batteries.
There's so much more too that this does. Check out this video to see what I'm talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJW4V7U8k6E
I picked this head unit up (app2radio or sph-da100) for $269 refurbished!
I have an older head unit:
http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-AVH-P4300DVD-In-Dash-Double-DIN-Receiver/dp/B004HW6F7Y
Will this work with that unit?
I am considering changing that out anyways, as it needs an additional module for the backup camera and the current generation ZR1 doesn't come with one.
Nope. Won't work. No appradio mode or HDMI in on the deck.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Looking forward to testing this out. I have the AppRadio2 in my car and truck. Been using it with an HTC EVO 4g LTE but the Bluetooth is buggy on it. Moving over to the S4 after using HTC devices since the original Touch.
Phone should be at home when I get in tonight. Looking forward to a better phone, navigation and Pandora using the S4 over the EVO.... Also using ARLiberator and Car Home Ultra. Great combo on this radio.
Using a touch screen interface in a moving car is a losing proposition unless one is in a funeral procession.
Also, it means the screen is too low and too close to the driver for a safe viewing angle. There is a reason most OEM have gone to a control device for the screen.
It you need to, check out the Cadillac Cue system, or an older Lexus with touchscreen. Fail when the vehicle is moving.
I had the App2Radio installed & it was ONLY useful with the ARLiberator app. The problem is, horrible audio disconnection every 15 seconds, screens blurring repeatedly. It was enough after 3 days installed that I decided to return it. I had high hopes for it as years ago, I had ALWAYS wished for a dash "dumb terminal" that I could control my phone with.

I've since installed the Parrot Asteroid Smart (Android 2.3.7) & rooted it & haven't been more satisfied. As it stands, I've got my radar detector, ODBII bluetooth module, and cell phone all connected thru my PAS via bluetooth simultaneously & it works near flawlessly. I have some automation (on my phone & PAS) I'm wanting to setup (Tasker) & it'll be perfect (automatically enable BT tethering, etc).
(Now I'm able to just about keep my phone completely turned off, don't need to run Escort Live on the phone anymore)
Wish this worked for my Cadillac CTS Nav screen. That would be pro.
No luck for me..... I have an AppRadio2 in both my cars. Used it a LOT while traveling for Pandora and Google Maps and worked decent enough with my HTC EVO 4G LTE. Can't get it to connect at all on this S4. Bluetooth pairs fine but when I plug in the MHL cable (using Pioneer Android kit) it will not see the phone. Neither unit will.

You need a mhl 3.0 adapter for it to work. I had to buy one when I went from my note to my s4.

That worked. Picked up an adapter for a Galaxy S3 at the Samsung "store" at the local Best Buy. Worked perfectly. I just wish the cable was a little longer on the adapter. I had mine originally setup with the adapter in a coin pocket below the shifter. My phone would rest snugly in the cup holder and the cable would reach it perfectly. The cable on the Samsung adapter is may 3" long. Way too short to be useful.
Now if I can figure out how to get the screen from blanking when I close the flip cover when in car mode....
Hi,
When I updated my pixel 7 in January 5 "Security update" it never a pair Bluetooth with car .
The notice appeared "Bluetooth connection failed. Verify the passcode and your phone settings." , but I'm sure about passcode was correct.
I tried every step following:
-Forget and reconnect
- Rest Bluetooth
-Developer options then change AVRCP Version from 1.5 to 1.3,1.4....etc
-Last Factory rest
I used another phone to connect it connect without any problems, but the pixel 7
passing code Not accept my car.

Known issue.
There is workaround, You need to start any call then connect to the bluetooth of the car after you hangout it should stay connected to the bluetooth of the car.
Delete the phone from your car's system and start the entire process over.

Or you could plug it into the car via USB instead of fighting with the Bluetooth. I know that defeats the purpose of a fix for Bluetooth, but it's an easy work-around in the meantime.
About to test this ...
Fixed!
Hello, Can someone confirms the february update BT fix ?
I dont want to update and downgrade one more Time
Maybe you can't see my posts, tested and problem gone (for me anyway)

Thanks for your test and confirmation
Obviously was device based as I NEVER EVER had any bluetooth connection issues.
And I´m using BT a lot!
But feels good anyway they fixed a problem others had...may have eventually affected me some time.
