I'm certainly no expert on the subject but I believe it's based on the Ardunio Platform with a USB Shield that supports ADK2.0. Looking at the google developers site it says they've released the specs If you want to create one yourself
http://developer.android.com/tools/adk/adk2.html
Hope that Helps

Thanks but its not for official sale? That i can njst buy it in original design?

I Fixed that link up, but from the site
Google said:
A limited number of these kits were produced and distributed at the Google I/O 2012 developer conference. If you did not receive one of these kits, fear not! The specifications and design files for the hardware were also released for use by manufacturers and hobbyists. You should expect to see kits with similar features available for purchase, or you can build one yourself!

I'd say no not officially, Ebay would probably be your best bet If you really MUST have the official google one but I'd doubt it's something that people are going to part with easily.

After a year of hard work, we've successfully re-created the ADK 2012 boards from the Google I/O conference this past year. Take a look at our Kickstarter campaign and let me know what you guys think.
xda is preventing me from posting external links until I make 10 posts. I'll go make 10 posts and return. In the meantime, check my profile. The link is in my homepage.
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Geekbuying.com - Buyer Beware iMito QX1

Hi There,
I'd like to share my experience buying an iMito QX1 from Geekbuying.com - not for the sake of flaming, but really to help fellow community members avoid lost money and unnecessary heartache.
I purchased the item in June - and have yet to see a refund for a defective product.
It took forever to arrive - and upon arrival was basically DOA. It worked very briefly, in which time I couldn't find sufficient information online to try and flash the new firmware to get it to work properly (the Geekbuying forum information is very minimal, to say the least, and the response rate is very slow), and upon pulling out to try and refresh and reconnect, it stopped working entirely. I connected it to numerous tvs and devices, to no avail - signal has been lost.
This is a known issue that many people have posted about - and Geekbuying.com have completely ignored. See these threads:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?2539-imito-mx1-no-signal-to-tv
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4053-Imito-MX2-black-screen
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3447-Imito-MX1-doesn-t-work-gt-Black-Screen-No-signal
After reaching out to Geekbuying and explaining everything - and everything we tried technically - they initially were willing (supposedly) to provide a refund or alternate device (we asked for a refund), and asked us to fill out forms that they never provided us with, and since then have been stalling, evading, and unhelpful.
Below is the chat I had with their operator today, where they once again have evaded and chosen to be unhelpful:
Please wait for a site operator to respond...

I want you to give me all the details on how and where to send it back and when I will see my refund
10:57:50 AM
Why are you not answering?!
10:58:10 AM
I cant spend my whole day here and you never reply to emails. This is the worst customer service ever.
10:58:51 AM
Listen we have done everything we have been told and the item doesn't work.

I will be sure to post about this in all of the forums that I've been a member of

i will reply you later by email
tzvika10:59:22 AM
this is unacceptable
11:00:07 AM
This is what you said the last time a month ago!!!! and the item is still not working and I got no refund.
11:00:18 AM
I want to know now what you will do
11:00:40 AM
last email I sent you was a week ago and you still did not reply!!!
11:00:54 AM
why do you think I believe you when you say you will reply by email??
11:01:25 AM
I just want to send it back, get my money back and forget about this whole thing.

The chat is ended.
I am sharing my experience, in order to ensure others don't go through the same, and to share my experience purchasing the iMito QX1 - which on paper is supposed to be an awesome device, but falls short in execution.
Good luck.

Thank you for posting this. I hope your post will help others to be aware too. But I have to tell you for every post you find like this and believe me there are many. You will also find many post on other forums that will defend this company and have complete lack of empathy.If you read those threads you will find as I have. They are generally from people who have a certain (ahem, cough) relationship with them. It sickens me to say the least. BTW, its not just the device you purchased either. I try to let people know that a lot of these divides can all so be purchased through Amazon. I am not promoting Amazon. I am just saying if something does go wrong. You have a much better chance of a fair outcome. Sorry to here of your episode. You were more than fair with them. I will not be surprised if there is a reply in their defense. Then again, maybe not here. But, try a certain f****tab forum and you will see what I mean. Good luck.

Thanks for the support - I'm sure you're right - I just hope that the sincerity comes through and that if someone who is looking to purchase an item from them and sees this post at some point, may possibly reconsider.
I never do things like this and if it were a small amount I'd likely just forget about it, but it's a $90 product.

It seems difficult to get money back as the address the post on their website are not detailed. I am in Shenzhen and I don't think I can find the right place.

All you have to do is dispute with your credit card/bank company. Let them take care of it and save you the hassle.

No, I don't know anyone there. I'll try that - thanks. (Is there any specific way I can reach out to him? Is he on XDA? Facebook? There's a general email address at geekbuying, and I'm not sure how I can get him specifically to deal with my issue).

Amazing such issue's were had.
I also bought my QX1 from Geekbuying however I ordered via Amazon (bundle pack with external antenna & Cat 5 USB adaptor)..
My order was received 4 days later (via USPS).
The unit works great & still no issue's on my end with my unit.
Also bought an airmouse from them (via Amazon again) & received that the day before last (2 days after order)..
Long of the short of all of this is I wouldn't put such hate towards one posting that's seen..
As I've had no issue's on my end once so ever..
Just stating my $0.03....
Shame about the issue's though as the QX1 really is I nice little device (however deva support is still very limited)..

My experience with imito qx1 is also positive. Bought it on geekbuying.com and was aware that shipping last LONG. Got it and it works like a charm. Had same issues in the beginning but flashed it with Finless 1.5 ROM form freaktab.com and it works great. That was a good decision.

I was able to RMA my CX-919 to geekbuying for just return shipping $8.
They asked for a youtube video of it not working!
Took two months but the new device works great.

Touchless Control using Co-Processor Bounty?

I'm not going to be so bold as to try to set this up myself. I know it's been done for several other things like the moto x bootloader. Anyway, I'm just asking if we want to get a bounty going for getting true moto x style touchless control working on the nexus 5. According to the Jerry on the Android Central Podcast, the hardware is there it's just that Google chose to use it for other things. What say you developers!!! I'll donate!!!
Though I'm not setting up an actual account (not sure how), I will track the pledges. PM me if I get too far behind.
Pledges: ($100 Total)
poke_n_pda: $20
PMentior: $10
Beachbum2049: $10
thefsfempire: $20
Techno79: $20
sarshadd: $20

I'd pledge a donation/bounty for this too.

Would love to see this feature on Nexus5
Will definitely chip in a bit

I'd chip in!

If everyone lists ammounts (unofficial till we get something set up) I'll try to keep the main post updated with names and ammounts.

I'm in for $10

Put me down for $20.
Really disappointed Google didn't even give us the option. Does anyone know if the software required for this to work is something Motorola created specifically for their device(s)?

To add a little extra info, Qualcomm even demo voice activation on their Snapdragon 800 page: http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800 (see the video "Technology that listens to you").

I'm in for $20

Posting to mark where I've compiled to.
Also, now that this has evolved a bit, can a mod remove the "?" from the title and move this to a more appropriate forum?

i'll contribute $20.

Broke $100!!

I think the dev that makes openmic+ looked into it and said he couldn't without some libraries from Qualcomm he couldn't legally get. I hope I'm wrong about that.

There is a small discussion on what it would take to make it work, and it is no small task. Even for a big company.

Qualcomm here confirms that tech is only available to OEMs. Samsung is the only one who implemented it so far. The rest is probably going to keep it under the wraps and release entirely new phone which is going to be OEM-ized Nexus (LG G3?) in the new "chassis" and they'll charge your arm and a leg for this "brand new, revolutionary tech".
I think I've seen this business model somewhere before.

Anyone know where to score the band adapter in the US?

Looking for US based retailer.
Any info greatly appreciated, and TIA!

If you scroll down you will find threads where they are only in Germany or you can get non-samsung ones from ebay or Amazon. I think they are all the same (own vs Chinese ones)

A bunch of articles like this popped up in mid-April and haven't been able to find anything since: https://news.samsung.com/global/gear-s2-band-adapter-gives-users-more-styles-to-choose-from

My bad... Thought I'd posted in accessories thread. I'm aware that they can be ordered from Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, etc, but I'm looking for a US based retailer.

Ordered mine through Amazon for $7.95. Took two weeks. Came from China. Works fine. Able to use my NATO straps now.

But the Chinese adapters on ebay & Amazon don't have the correct and matching colors. For me, that's a deal breaker.

There's still nowhere in the US to get these. Samsung has really messed this one up.

I'm interested too Does the case support Quick Charge?

I am curious about the quick charge as well. Also, if the case is on, and wall charger is plugged in, will that charge both the device and battery pack, or is it recommended to charge them separately.

I'm very interested. I had one for my v20 and loved it.

I'd love to try it out, I love ZeroLemon products!

I'm interested... check your PM box.

The battery case support to pass through quick charge, it will not offer quick charge in itself.

If you charge the battery case with the phone together, the charging current will go to the phone first. When the phone is fully charged, the most current will go to the battery case, a small current will be left to charge the phone.

I'm a little confused about the requirements. I have 59 posts and 14 thanks, so I'm all set there, but it says "must have join forum for at least 2 years" and I am sure that this forum, LG V30, can not have existed that long. On the other hand I joined XDA on 10/10/2008 - is that what the requirement means? If so, I should hopefully qualify and I did send a PM yesterday so fingers crossed!

Let me know if you get my message, it's not showing I sent anything.

Interested, certainly meet the criteria. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am interested in trying out the battery case. I meet all of your criteria and will leave a review on the forum as well. I have had my v30 for roughly a year and a half and the phone needs a mid-day charge. Tried to PM but it didn't work either.

A year and a half? Dude, the phone's been out for like 7 months.

Felt like a year and half lol. Something is probably running in the background eating up the battery. I need to charge it mid way through day with nothing more than sending a few texts and taking one or two phone calls for roughly 10mine
