I have a Tytn II lying around gathering dust because there is simply no marekt value in it for trading. SO I have had a bit of a silly idea and wonder if it would work.
I have been interested in the idea of a Car PC for quite a while with a 7 inch touchscreen in the dash. Costs can get up there a bit once you have bought the screen, the pc itself etc. So I was wondering how easy it would be to use the TyTn II innards as the basis for a Car PC and somehow connect a 7 inch touchscreen to the Tytn II motherboard.
To me it would be a great solution for running satnav in car, and media.
What are your thoughts, do you think it would even be possible?
Cheers.
Yes, possible at least the video is, without wrecking your titan too, There's a cable you can buy that lets you send video from the titan to any screen with RCA Yellow input. I beleive it's available for PSP also. 'Mini-USB -> RCA Yellow AND white' They are on ebay.
From there you may somehow be able to port the touchscreen to the Tytns miniusb port but im not sure (as it willb e occupied by the video out). Perhaps you could splice both into one then code it to work somehow. Interesting project - good luck

Hey, why symbian is a crap?
I had p900 sony ericsson before a long time
Why the omnia is a big trick?
About the iphone, i will have 18 in like 20 days lol.
I will mostly use the cellular i will buy as a regular phone, wifi for skype calls (via fring), and gps (IGO).
I can get second hand diamond for 300$
If i had alot of money i would buy the HD; from what i know he's the best, more then the new Omnia hd of samsung, and more then diamond 2
Bump!
mancsoulja ?
Seriously I have owned and used both Symbian and WinMo in the last 6 months. Lets just say Im never going back to symbian.
And get the HTC diamond.
Better screen
GREAT XDA support!
TouchFLO which is amazing.
Yeah, i think to go diamond because of few things:
Better pixels resoulation from what iv'e heared
Stylus
TouchFLO (my dad got HD)
Omnia over diamond: alot of memory vs 4GB.
More here
Iv'e saw right now a video in youtube that say diamond have not regular miniusb, a miniusb of HTC.
Why does i care? because i want to connect a convertor of 3.5mm jack headphone so i will be able to connect my regular earphones.
*I want to know how much time i will be able to make a skype call (fring-wifi) on the diamond.
*As for playing music, diamond cant replace the COWON D2 i plan to buy.
The diamond isnt the greatest at media. But then the 5800 doesnt have dedicated media keys either (as I am aware).
But seriously you wont regret getting the diamond at all. You can get a 3.5mm jack you just have to get the right one. It should even set you back £5/6.

Where can i find it for 5/6 with shipping to Israel?
The miniusb isn't normal miniusb? is it miniusb of htc?
If no, i guess i can buy any convertor from miniusb to 3.5mm
I don't like the omnia so i'm not gonna buy it.
It's or that im i will go the diamond, or that i will save some money and buy diamond2/HD (also hard decision)
Anyone can answer the question on the convertor?
If it's not normal miniusb, i can't buy any miniusb convertor to 3.5mm
If it's normal, i will have 2 options:
1. Buy the htc diamond + COWON D2.
2. Buy the HD/DIAMOND2 and use their music player.

The Diamond has a special mini-usb port. It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable. But it can be used also with a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port.
Is it allowed to post a link to a shop that ships to Israel?
Hey.
So why they write it's miniusb? its special miniusb.
"It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable" - so what's the special connection here?
According to you, i must get a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port?
I would be glad to get a link to a cheap converter...
If i add more 250$ i can get the HD. I don't know if to buy the diamond. the HD, or the diamond2.

Sorry for the late reaction.
This cable you need. It's a mini-usb to 3.5mm headphones jack. With this cable you can use you're own headphones with all HTC devices.
hi
i might get an acer tempo m900 because i saw one on expansys.com for £189.99
Brand new!
I think its a bargain but i dont know if they are any good.
Anyone?
flyboy
All i can say is it's not a HTC
Device database has all you need spec wise http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1765&c=acer_m900___tempo__m900
If it was me spending nearly £200 i'd check the market place for a good condition Raphael
i dont like the raphel not big enough screen.
This Acer has got a 3.8" touch screen
Anyway i wouldnt pay over £100 for something second hand.
Anyone got an acer then?
I got the device last week actually. Its a brilliant device but its let down by its lack of ram, although this has not been a problem yet so don't be put off by that.
Theres also a problem with 3.5mm connectivity for headphones.
The screen is very big and nice and the fingerprint reader is a great novelty that has some use.
I would recommend getting it.
So does the acer have an 3.5mm headphone jack or is it usb?
Have you got any pics you can show me that you have taken with the camera?
thanks

The M900 is a superb machine. I strongly recommend it. It doesn't have a 3.5mm headset socket, though. The wired headset (with mic) is a 10-pin mini-B USB connector. It really doesn't bother me at all, because I seldom use it, since it is required to listen to the FM radio only, as it acts as an antenna. For MP3s and videos (i.e. for all the remaining - and most important - sound sources) I use my SE HBH-IS800 stereo BT headsets. Of course people's needs are quite different. So, if a 3.5mm connector is a must for you, you better consider buying something else.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!
Carlos
does it use mini usb port to charge or does acer has it`s own special port for charging?

Yup! Although its mini-USB port is 10-pin, 5 of them are in the same position as the standard mini-USB. So, any mini-USB cable you might have would charge it (provided it has enough current (mAh), of course), as well as sync it.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!
Carlos
ja-marcin are you thinking of getting one?

Same opinion
what the htc community is offering is more than acer, but acer are doing ppcs that are the same thing but just cheaper.
Id be going for function and price rather than a specific model with ppcs.
And i wouldnt waste my money on a second hand diamond,tytn Ii, rapheal,prophet when for the same price i get more function, and less money spent
Just makes sense!!

TV Out AV Cable For HTC Touch HD2
100% Brand New
Description:-
An accessories that you need to view your phone files on a TV
Some phone models also support transfer of pictures, video clips and powerpoint presentations to the TV.
Compatibility list : HTC TOUCH HD2
The design of actual item may look slightly different from the picture, depending on each batch of stock
----------------------------
EDIT: For people stumbling across this thread, the joke is this will not now, not ever work with the HD2! Don't waste your time or money hoping otherwise
Where is the hardware on the HD2 ?
It looks like any TV-out cable, I have the same type on my Omnia Pro.
The question is : Can the HD2 use the video out ? I don't recall seeing it in hardware specification.
Edit: Anyway I've just bought one, it was cheap enough for a TV-out and if it doesn't get used with HD2, I can still use it with Omnia Pro
I don't get the joke.
I seriously doubt it will work. If, by some miracle it does work, let us know.
To be honest I doubt it will do anything, but I needed a TV-out cable anyway
You might want to give this thread a read before you try the cable. There's some registry changes & cabs that you might want to play around with to see if you can actually get tv out on the hd2. Probably wont work, but might as well try if you're getting the cable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577338
impossible!!! where is the cable plugged in?
This is a standard 3.5mm jack with stereo + video. You can plug it like you would plug the headset in
My old N900 could do this, right out of box, with a tv out (3.5 mm jack) Whyy cant the HD2?
Your OLD ??? N900 , if its that old ill be happy to take it off your hands lol

Because the N900 has a specific software (and hardware) unlike the HD2.
my nokia n96 had a cable that plugged into the audio slot and then the 3 coloured cable that go into tv, if i can find it ill test it and let u know
Why would you trust some eejit on eBay selling a cable saying it's compatible with your phone, over the countless threads on xda explaining why TV Out is not possible on the HD2.
Here's a hint, the part of the Snapdragon chipset that deals with TV out is not connected to anything. Unless you plan on soldering the connector into your 3.5mm jack yourself, it's never going to work.

Did you get, try the cable yet? I've read about this with the EVO but nothing specific with the HD2.
Ive got a cable that plugs into the HD2 via the usb...
it allows you to turn your HD2 into a hot-plate for cooking eggs and such.
you want one? i sell it to you for £4.99 +P&P
I always did want a gadget that could do everything, like schoolwork and make breakfast. This would definitely get me closer

Why does everyone have to be so negative. Will it work? according to reports probably not, but if someone is going to do the rest of us a favor and test it out say thank you and see if it works.
Well my Streak7's Charging port finally broke pins pushed in and just such a waste/poor design on the port... Ebay wants $100 for a replacement port which i can buy another unit for that... so im simply going to run a Micro USB charging port up over the left hand speaker in that lil pullout slot...
Anyways I was wondering what actually restricts us from upping the VGA resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 is it the actual screen itself or the chip hardware..? If its just a screen can it be swapped out for a higher resolution one..?
Also I havent tried to upgrade from HoneyComb3.2 to anything newer because I need the 3g/4g Modem to work to get my Text messaging... Someone mentioned drivers or not knowing the hardware... cause it looks like a huawei EM820U Modem if that helps anyone...
Screen and then drivers in the Linux kernel.
Ok so now the research begins... finding a similar 7 inch unit with the same screen connector...
Any Idea if the Streak 5 PDMI/Charging port is the same as the Streak 7..?
Cause i can get a replacement port for a S5 for like 8 bucks opposed to the S7 for 99...
Well I know that the d7 and the d5 use the same charging cable and both work on the same dock but that does not mean the connections are the same internally. Check ifixit for a tear down for each.

If only the Samsung gtab 2 had the same dimensions you'd have a readily available one, unless you are up for case modding to fit one in
it seems 1024x600 would be the next size up all the PDFs for data specs on screens i have seen so far are 800x600 the couple i have found in 1024x600 do not have the same 40 pin connector but most of the 800x600 screens do which means these Samsung Screens are highly interchangeable... Granted the connector is the same...
As for the S5 and S7 charging port compatibility; if they use the same charging cord and even docking station then its the same "port"... its a Foxconn port/connector... Now if I was going to try and convert it to lets say an ipod/iphone connector then a "pin out" issue may be in order, but because they are the same wires and dock station i believe strongly that the S5 port will work fine on the S7... Im going to order one and still add the micro usb port to the device this way I dont have waste the life of the "port"...
While I have this thing open; does anyone need any hardware info maybe..? I know the 3g/4g modem has been an issue to get working in ICS because of drivers...
Im still lookiing for data sheets on Samsung 7 inch tft-lcd screens with high resolutions that might be a direct drop in but the info just isnt out there yet; but the hardware might actually be...
Hello, i have a 7 in display that i took off of a broken lenovo thinkpad tablet and i am looking to connect it to my raspberry pi. I know i need the HDMI-LVDS converter. I'm just looking for an easy fix, so maybe you can summon up some sites that offer a how to with a buying option that gives me the wires and the HDMI-LVDS converter. I don't need the screen though.
I'm hoping to get the screen powered via the power to the PI. I'm going to connect this rig to my car so if you may be able to give me a site that will give me a power adapter that will connect via usb and give me enough power to power the PI and the screen.
It took me a while to find the exact tablet i am going to use but i have found it. i have taken the screen off a Lenovo Ideapad A1 22282EU 7-Inch Tablet.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
also I know this is a question but i could not find a good place to put it other than here.. i will keep everyone updated on my progress as i build though. If there is a better place can you please move it?
Thanks.
I just recently started a similar project. Dead Dell laptop that I harvested for it's 17" screen. You need to start by getting the datasheet for your lcd panel. Google should help with that.
I ended up having to go to ebay to find an hdmi converter board. I had to shop around and speak to a few sellers to ensure their converter board was compatible with my lcd panel. And then I still had to purchase a separate AC adapter to power the converter board.
Here's the seller I ended up going through:
http://stores.ebay.com/chinatobby
Keep in mind that the project I'm working on isn't going into a car, so I wasn't as focused on the portability side of things as you seem to be.
I did do a quick search when I saw your question and came across this product.
http://www.chalk-elec.com/?page_id=1280#!/~/product/category=3094861&id=14647633
Looks like they have an HDMI-LDVS converter with a usb port to power the Pi, but I have no idea whether your panel is supported, or even when they will be back in stock.
I'm not recommending this site (I've never shopped there), just letting you know what I found on a quick Google search.
Hope this helps.
Check out adafruit.com they have tons of documentation on all sorts of projects, including hooking up an lcd. I bought mine from there it's pretty easy to get it working.

As long as you can get a hdmi input for it Otherwise you cant or maybe somehow by changing circuitry you can
Of course you can it just depends on the panel you are using. I hooked one up to a proto board and a certain breakout board because I have sensors being displayed on it, not using it for a terminal screen.
