I have a European 3G Xoom running EOS ICS 2. We also have an old HP450 Mobile printer that has a slot for a Compact Flash I Bluetooth card. My question is would we be able to set this printer up to print directly from the Xoom?
The details of the Bluetooth card read:
Serial Port Profile (SPP): Emulates a serial port to enable wireless printing from compatible Bluetooth serial sending device(s).
Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP): Provides the same printing experience (print quality and print speed) as when printing with a cable.
Object Push Profile (OPP): Enables printing from devices that use the OBEX (Object Exchange) protocol.
Basic Printing Profile (BPP): Extends the capabilities of the OBEX protocol and lets you print a variety of content from Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Does Android support any of those Bluetooth printing protocols?
Thanks.
Check bigrushdog's tegra 2 thread in Development. There are a ton of drivers available...maybe you'll find the ones you need.

Thanks for the info but it looks to me as though I would need some programming knowledge to be able to try these out?

The easiest you download starprint app from google play and try it. If it works pay few bucks to remove the watermark. it is cool app.

Hey,
I would like to know what phone should I use as an portable device - that could handle data base with SQL queries.
I need it for a ticketing systems from a company named "TOPTIX". I wish to use their software to handle a concert tickets, it comes with some portable wireless scanner which would handle only one data base. the other DB should be handled in a small wireless portable device (maybe if it is supporting MS access it is enough, or any software which could do the all DB/SQL matter)

WOW! thank you!
What portable devices support it?
Simple question that I have not yet seen here, apologies if it has been posted:
How can you add printer drivers to your Fuze for use in JETCET? I have a Brother network printer that I can successfully see from phone, but there are only Epson, HP, and Canon drivers available.
TIA
I don't know if you can. I couldn't find my HP network printer on the list so I just tried a few of the drivers until one worked. I don't know if you can install any though.
Many times these printers can emulate popular HP printing protocols. See if it may be compatible with any of the HP PCL variants.
Wow, rreat minds think alike...
I'm glad you guys are talking about this. I just purchased a HTC Touch Pro and I was wondering the same thing. I guess we need to get together and get a list of printer drivers that are compatible with the ones provied in the JETCET PRINT 5. I have a Lexmark X4850 WiFi printer if anyone can give me the compatible driver listed in the JETCET I would appreciate it.
Anybody able to shed some light on why I can't find my network printer from the phone? I have tried putting in the ip address and network name also, both to no avail. I am able to map shared netword drives after being asked to log on.

Probably a silly question for you experts, but how do I find my printer's IP address on my network?
My Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Printer works great with this app.
Hope This Helps
This helped me setting up mine..

JETCET 5
i am disappointed with a number of limitations in this software. for example, there is a "Color LaserJet Series" printer that does not even give basic PCL rendering for color laserjets (i have 2550n). they are outright incompatible. i am getting by with using the generic Monochrome driver. documents are just pretty much stream-dumped with no layout.
i have been in touch with WESTTEK about some of the limitations i have experienced. since JETCET is supplied in the ROM, we are entitled to free updates as "registered users". i have downloaded and installed the latest version. no improvement for my particular driver issues.
i'm not able to get JETCET to recognize Notepad files as supported document types.
something which is not obvious: while in Internet Explorer, if you hold down the stylus, you will get a Print menu item as the last choice. this will bring up the JETCET dialog and you can print a web page directly.
i have trialed the other mobile printing apps and feel this one is the best. any other recommendations or success stories out there?
anyone that gets the Color Laserjet Series driver to work, please post your success.
I have a lexmark X4850...
I emailed Lexmark tech support to see which driver in the JETCET current listing of printers would my printer be compatible with. "Their reply was It's not supported." If anyone has any info on how to obtain a driver cross-reference please post your findings.
Where did you sign-up as a registered user? I don't see that option on their site.

Problems Connecting
For those of you who have had problems connecting to a network printer, here are a few things that I found helped my situation:
1) You have to use the local IP and not the DNS (name of printer, etc.). For some reason, Jetcet and Remote Desktop don't seem to like the names
2) I had to disable the AT&T proxy before I was able to connect
Of course, once I was able to connect, the program didn't support my printer so I still couldn't print, but at least I got it this far...

Well, you got further than I have. Even putting in the local IP (in my case: http://192.168.1.106) doesn't work.
Make sure to reserve a fixed IP in your DHCP for your printer
Another Solution
this is the program I use and have never had a problem. Yes I you have to pay for this program but it works.
http://www.activeprint.net
i have a pixma mp610 anyone know which driver is the closest?
No love printing to my Brother MFC-490CW. JETCET apparently seees my printer. After entering the IP address, the printer display lights up, and JETCET give me the option to select a printer manufacturer and model. Obviously, no Brother drivers, and the dozen or so I've tried don't report errors, but don't print either.

Hello Community,
My question is: What is possibe with the NFC-Interface today?
Only read and write? or
P2P connections?
Card Emulation?
I was looking for a long time...
Thank you

The capability exists in the API as of 2.3.3 for Read and Write capability as well as P2P (there are SDK demos for these three up as well).
The hardware is present (including a secure element) for card emulation, but I can't say with certainty if that's present in the API yet (I don't believe it is).

Thank you for your answer. But what exactly means P2P? What is the different to the "read and write"?

Read and Write allow for the reading of NFC tags and the Writing of NFC tags (format the tags for NDEF messages and write the message contents to the tag).
P2P refers to the fact that NFC can be used to open a communication socket between 2 NFC enabled phones. This socket can then be used to transfer data between the 2 devices.

Thanks for the new Post
But is it just possible to use the communication between 2 phones?
It's very much possible to initiate P2P communication with any NFC enabled device that supports the NDEF format. P2P communication is not limited to (android) phones.
NDEF is a standard created by the NFC-Forum (= Phillips, Nokia, etc.) and you can expect future NFC phones (including those running Windows Phone or iOS) to also support that standard. I'm of yet unsure how this works with any desktop/terminal readers though... It appears the desktop/terminal must support the 'NPP - NDEF Push Protocol' in order to talk to an Android phone, which android devs say to publish a spec on soon. But I'm unsure why android devs need to publish a spec on communication on the desktop/terminal-end, if it's a standard created by a whole nother group.
Additionally: Card emulation is not supported (yet) in the Android SDK as it's "actually very hard to do this in a consistent way across the Android platform, due to the current hardware architecture of NFC", and I'm not sure how possible it is to share cards with P2P, or achieve any comparable result...
Thanks for the Answer!!!
Is it possible, that you can do more Things with the NDK than with the SDK?

PeerDeviceNet connects your mobile devices (phones and tablets) through WI-FI or WI-FI Direct network to enable sharing across devices. It allows a group of devices share web pages, contact information, pictures, videos and other documentations.
Features:
1. Safe direct connections.
Your devices connect to each other in direct connections. Nobody can connect to your device without your permission or active participation. All connections are secured using TLS/SSL.
2. One click connection setup.
In most home WI-FI networks (which support multicast) or using WI-FI Direct, Simply pressing "Search and connect" buttons on all peer devices will connect them together. You can also connect devices by entering ip address.
3. Easy to use
PeerDeviceNet extends Android's standard "send and share" capability to remote devices. You go to apps which "own" the data you are interested (such Contact app for contact information, Gallery app for photos and videos), select or show the data and click "share" or "send" button. PeerDeviceNet will be among the list of targets thru which you can send data.
You can choose multiple data items to send, or a whole folder of photos to send at the same time.
You can choose to send data to one, a few or all connected devices.
4. Flexible multitasking.
All devices participating PeerDeviceNet can send data to each other simultaneously. It can safely run in background while you are running other apps. You can add new data to send at any time.
Support android 2.2 and up.
market link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xconns.free.peerdevicenet
PeerDeviceNet is also a framework. It provides reusable components and local services which can help developing connected mobile applications. You can use PeerDeviceNet connection manager to connect your devices, and reuse the secure connection features. Via PeerDeviceNet, your apps can send messages to peer devices using high level Android intents and messengers; or communicate thru IDL interfaces to gain fine grained control of messaging and device connection behaviours.
More details can be found at web site: http://www.peerdevicenet.net .
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Bug reports are highly appreciated.

There are a few differences from Kies:
1. Kies depends on computer. you connect devices to computer thru USB or wi-fi, upload data and sync to other devices. Similar to cloud based sharing (iClooud, dropbox), you upload files to could and sync to other devices. PeerDeviceNet use peer-peer direct connections among devices to allow them share files and data directly, without computer or server in middle. You even donot need external wi-fi if devices are wi-fi direct enabled; you can connect the devices directly.
2. PeerDeviceNet is more for ad-hoc connection and sharing, not for "syncing". If you want to share some photos and videos with friends or document with teammate, you just need a simple "send" function, PeerDeviceNet is for that.
3. PeerDeviceNet is also a free runtime to enable connected mobile apps.You can use it write mulit-player GUI apps or multiplayer games. There are some sample projects and tutorials at web site: peerdevicenet.net
Thanks for comments.

PeerDeviceNet did use WI-FI Direct as one way to connect devices. It adds flexibility of multitasking on top of plain vanilla wi-fi direct. You can send files and receive files simultaneously. If you are sending large video files, you can let it run in background, start others apps; and add new send sessions at any time.
Also majority of devices out there do not support wi-fi direct (from what i read, even new generation of kindle fire do not support). PeerDeviceNet allows you connect these devices thru wi-fi and share data with the ease of one-click connection similar to wi-fi direct.

I know this forum is generally focused on Android phones, but a recent discovery has lead me believing this question belongs here. I'm not very experienced with ADB other than basic rooting procedures and side loading/bloatware removing. I've come to ask the experts, on this one.
Recently I've gotten into custom cellular internet router building. For the longest time it has consisted of sourcing router board hardware from Chinese manufactures that run OpenWRT or some flavor of it. GoldenOrb (ofmodemsandmen.com) being the most popular choice. Then either by direct m.2 slot on the hardware or USB m.2 (sim) adapter to the USB 3.0 port, is an LTE/NR module. Popular ones include the Quectel RM520Q-GL, RM502Q-AE, and the EM160R-GL
The modems themselves run a full fledged Linux system and ADB can be used with them. OpenWRT and GoldenOrb are buggy and the modem itself does a better job of being in charge of connection management than a separate router would. Normally the modem would be set to communicate with the router hardware by either QMI mode or MBIM mode.
A new method is on the brink of emergence for handling the usage of these modules. A simple m.2 to rj45 adapter can be used in place of the router. You get a 2.5gb Ethernet port, an m.2 slot, a sim slot, a USB c debug port, a 12v fan header, and no bottlenecks. The modem is then set into RGMII mode. That's where the modems higher functions actually start to be used, and I imagine ADB becomes a factor.
A product has emerged where a modem just as I described was placed into an rj45 adapter and a web interface was created by taking advantage of the built in QCMAP on the modem. I imagine that ADB was used to modify the WWW folder and other files to create this. It allows the modem to be directly configured by a simple web interface over an m.2 rj45 adapter without having to deal with the complications of issuing AT commands for every little configuration and status query.
Someone else has released an easy to use AT over Ethernet command script for the community after this product came out. (People started to figure out what it really was) (https://github.com/natecarlson/quectel-rgmii-configuration-notes)
The link above is the writeup for their script, it also links said product. Very interesting price for such cheap hardware.
My question is does anyone have any experience with these? Any clever developers willing to spill the secrets of how that web interface was created? Maybe someone is interested in developing their own? I wouldn't mind supplying a modem to someone willing to create something like this for the community. Especially with how hush hush and locked down the cellular industry is. These modems can put the control in the users hands. A web interface directly on the modem and taking advantage of its full capabilities is ideal.

Nope, I've never even heard of them.
But you got my attention with "Quectel".
I've been playing with a Quectel EC25-AF as core of the Netgear LM1200 LTE modem.

Oh that's a CAT4 modem. You'll have more control and speed if you went with at least an EM160R-GL. My personal favorite is the WS1208V2 router + an EM160R-GL. If you were looking for 5G/NR capabilities go with an RM520N-GL. Alibaba is where you can source that stuff on the cheap.

Well, as long as you were asking about web interfaces, I'll mention what I know.
Most (many? some?) Qualcomm modems expose the /dev/diag char device.
It uses HDLC (serial protocol) for requests and responses.
The libdiag.so from Qualcomm (undocumented to us) handles the transactions.
The OEM is responsible for any web interface.
For the LM1200, that's Netgear with their NetgearWebApp which is http server and simple template file (whatever.json.tmpl or whatever.html.tmpl) expander.
It seems a bit inefficient since (is it true?) it requests a single parameter/variable at a time over /dev/diag.
The SDX20 in the MiFi 8800L uses Linux message queues (mq_open, etc) so you can get a chunk of related parameters all at once.
There are OEM libs to interface with the message queues but you can just do it yourself.
Since the MiFi 8800L supports CGI I just wrote one to dump useful JSON only using stock libs.
