Ford/Microsoft Sync. - General Questions and Answers

I know this is probably dumb but I was wondering if anyone tried to put Linux or android into the Ford/Microsoft Sync on their car? Seems like itneiuld be ancomolete pita but still would be incredibly funny. Especially if it made an improvement.

Android wifi tether for SGH T959v

I've been searching and reading and I can't seem to find which Android wifi tether works best for our phone.
I went to google and it doesn't say galaxy S 4g so I'm not sure which apk download is safe to use on our phone. I know our phone is different from the vibrant.
Does anyone know which version works best on our phone?
What are you using and how do you rate it?
Thank you for your time and input.

I use easy teather But its not in the market anymore. It doesnt allow u to change Nat type setting. it is a real drag cause I got the phone for to use on my xbox360 so I could play online. But also there are various other apps in the market. just search and u will find and dont forget to check what others have to say about the app you intend on downloading. Some suck some dont.

it actually works fantastic. its kinda hidden though so dont be embarrased. Do you know how to find it?
Sorry to shove this question in here but since this seems like the right topic. Is there an app that will allow access to NAT(network address translation) settings? As usual samaung nor t-mobile could be of any help. I was told rooting would get me the access I need to deal with such a matter. Was this b.s. or is there a way?

im not sure of this. ill look into it
I would apreciate it. I have had no luck at all even after rooting and looking in forums and market apps. seems that not many people have looked into. Figured folks would considering how strict the security is. But im a noob so......

How r u getting a moderate Nat when this device is set to a strict Nat type? I can sign in and play some people but as for party,s or game addons I can't access much. Please let me know how your experience is (on xbox live)and what u have done to beat the Nat setting.

Unfortunately your about where I'm at. I can play live on certain games but can't download any content. But it works great for when I watch Netflix, and that's what I use it for.

Yea i was real dissapointed when i found out bout the nat. This was the main reason i got the phone. Hopefully I can find something on this matter that will help people like you and me enjoy Xbox live to the fullest extent.

Found an app that looks promising its called barnacle its on the market. And it allows Nat manipulation or something to that effect. I'm messing around with it but no luck so far.

[Q] Phone notifications on TF?

forgive me if this has been posted somewhere.
Is there a way to receive notifications from my EVO 3D on my Transformer?
the only thing i can think of is maybe like vnc server apps like that i know i can access my phone from my tablet home screen and all ... i think that might be the best option of apps similar to that.
That was the first thing i considered also. Seems like a battery drainer to keep running all the time(in my head anyway). I was hoping for a bluetooth type option(also a drainer lol).
Sorry on bluetooth option,not much I can suggeest on that one good luck

control you phone via your pc

anyone know of a app that you can control your phone via pc make phone calls text etc... i am not rooted as of now so i need something that does not require root would be sweet... pain in butt to text back on my dock have to pull the damn thing out !!!
I can almost guaranty that anything able to do what you want will require root. I could be wrong but don't think so.
Unfortunately the only 1 I know of that works is webkey, it requires root but works ok.

Droid VNC Server allows you to do this. I have it on my phone, but I'm fairly sure it requires root, just like many other great applications. Is there something that is preventing you from rooting?
There are many great resources on this site if you need help getting started.
By the way, Droid VNC Server does eat up CPU on the phone, but that shouldn't be much of a problem if you aren't doing anything too intensive and you are plugged in...
The fact that my phone and my pc can't communicate that is why I. Have not rooted

Have you installed the Samsung drivers for USB?

Maybe try that out or use Google Voice. I haven't used either in the way that you are describing but it might be worth looking in to these options.

Looking for external camera.

Anyone know of a way to hook up an external camera, perhaps to the USB port? Maybe for video calling?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Why would you do that you have a front facing camera....smh... and no your phone can't do that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Actually I thought of a work around....smh...no faith. And not specifically the skyrocket. Gotta think outside the box to see the reason for a miniture camera that can video call.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
How are you gonna build a driver to recognize an input device like that on top of making it recognize a video input over USB and then activate it based on app demand when apps don't natively support it so you would have to trick the phone into thinking its the ffcamera seems like an awful lot of work for something built in already IMO.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Like I said...think outside the box. Bring the camera out or make a daisey chain with a simple switch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I thought of that after I posted it...then I was thinking it would be easier to extend the camera out and have it functional.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
The easiest way to do it, I thing is to use the Eye-Fi connect SD card in you camera. ( http://goo.gl/dxXK ) and especially the Mobile X2.
There is an app for android. I never used it but I read a lot on it lately and it seems really interesting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468531
don't think this does what you want but there ya go
I was thinking about being able to do video chat with someone but be able to have the camera pinned to my jacket or something slllowing person I'm talking to see what I'm seeing. Extending the lens out is easiest thing I can think of. Will check out those links though.
Thanks guys

Error Code 1000

My wife's stock s3 keeps throwing this code. Its never the same app that it appears in and it does it also when she is not using her phone. It really doesn't hinder her using the phone, but is pretty annoying. I can't find much about it. Any thoughts?

The only thing I can think of is to try a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue. You can use Carbon backup to backup all of her apps and data, the phone doesn't need to be rooted in order to use it.
Sorry I wish I had a better answer, but with it being random it might be best to start fresh.
