Hi everebody!!!
I allready have the same topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10736841#post10736841 but... its wrong position for it.
So...
Device called the Peek site peek9_com can only receive / send email, witter, facebook. There is no possibility of voice calls (connections) in hardware.
Is currently working on Nucleos OS by Mentor, plus the private GUI of the firm's Reek inc.
Need to port to Linux. Evaluate the possibility of porting.
Work is already underway on peeklinux_com
elinux_org
Problem: the producer (manufacturer) has promised to support the porting (access to gprs module, etc.), but later a support shut up and no longer responds.
In reality this is the case: the device is not locked, but to use it to login on their server (via sim T-Mobile US).
Accordingly, you write off a certain amount of money from the 10 - to 20 dollars per month, depending on the chosen tariff plan.
That is tied to the server from the company Peek.
Works with gmail, aol, windows mail, but through their intermediary server.
Has push mail.
In the States is working very badly, all complaining about the quality of communication, tech support.
Profit device is cheap, simple (only email, twitter, facebook,sms.)
So need to port to Linux,or unlock Nucleus OS - modify...

This is the MicroUSB port that is exposed on the left side of the peek.
It's used for both charging and upgrading the Peek. The upgrade cable uses

Hi Guys,
I've nabbed a damaged Artemis from work...
Reportedly, this unit was dropped in the bath, and o2 say it's the internal battery charging circuit that's been damaged.
Because of this, the unit wont charge, though it works fine when connected to external power.
What I'd like to do is use this as a tethered GPS device...
1. Hardwire a car charger into the car for power
2. Have the phone automatically turn GPS on
3. Insert a data-contract sim
4. On recieving a specific command via text, transmit it's gps position over the data card or via sms
Basically - use it as a vehicle tracking system.
Does software that'll even remotely do anything like this exist, or maybe one of you programming guru's here could write some sort of script to do this?
Just an idea before I resign and bin this puppy...
Was this device legally "nabbed" or stolen? - Mike
Google for and download Vito FindMe. Its free but requires activation.
Install and specify a secret word that triggers the app to activate gps and send the devices gps location to the sender.
Make sure you set up your QuickGPS to update automatically.
Buy a spare battery and charging stand! lol!
mobile justice
mobile justice is a much better program and is dead easy, even if some sod finds the phone and swaps the SIM Mjustice will tell you the new number allowing you to send a wee txt to it and gain exact GPS location, if you build the MJustice in to the ROM even a hard reset will leave it working, if they reflash it then all methods are no good.
How do you use NFC exactly????

How do you use NFC exactly????
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NFC - near field communication is a means to receive or transmit data over a very short distance.
If you turn on your NFC and search your neighbourhood you will likely see posters,boards,bus stops with NFC tags on them - hold the back of your phone up to a tag (whilst phone is switched on and unlocked) and you will receive something from the tag.
Depending on the NFC tag you scanned you will get a variety of results - for example scanning an NFC tag at a bus stop usually opens up your web browser and takes you straight to the correct webpage detailing when the next buses are due at your stop.
If you know someone who also has an NFC enabled phone then you can hold both phones together (back to back) and share contacts,web sites and various other things nearly instantly.
You are also able to buy your own 'blank' NFC tags and configure them yourself with an assortment of apps from the play store - i personally use 'NFC Task Launcher'
I suggest hitting YouTube for a more indepth explanation but i hope this outline will help you
My question is in particular what app do I need for "reading" the nfc tags?? I am located in Romania, and here except the biometric passport and some credit cards, I don't know about any nfc tags I could scan.....
But let's take the touching phones method- do I need an app for that or just touch the phones together and you'll get a pop up menu with what 2 share or what 2 do??

In your settings menu you should have an option to turn NFC on. Should be in the same menu as 'airplane mode' etc.
Once you have it turned on then no additional application is needed for reading tags.
You will need a separate application (like the one I mentioned above) to write your own NFC tags.
If you place two NFC enabled phones back just to back then the sender touches his screen and the receiver gets data from them. You can't choose what you receive but obviously the sender can choose what to send.
Though sometimes you can't send exactly what you want.
Your best option is to 'trial and error' NFC. Just sit down with a friend and spend an hour finding out what works exactly and to what extent.

Tried to "read" one of my friends biometric passport. Didn't work directly as the passport tag was (how I found out a lil later) encrypted.
So you must download from the market nfc taginfo. Then go to menu an select passport scan. You'll be required to type the passport nr, date of birth and expiry date. Then place the passport tag under your phone, give it about 20 seconds, and there you have it, passport photo and all the information.
NOTE: you can use any other app for that, but for passport in particular it MUST have the option to introduce some passport info, because of the tag being encrypted. At least electronic (biometric) passports from Romania are encrypted.
I am quite curious how this can be used with credit cards "touch to pay"... Can u somehow create like a kind of wallet in your phone and store the credit cards and just touch your phone with the special POS for those cards and pay? Anybody tried or read smthing about it?
I think it could be done, but I think one could forsee the possible security issues that might appear (eg your phone gets lost).

Dear Reader,
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology makes life easier and more convenient for consumers around the world by making it simpler to make transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices with a touch.
NFC is a wireless technology with set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimeters. Present and anticipated applications include contact-less transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as WiFi. Communication is also possible between an NFC device and an unpowered NFC chip, called a "tag".
---------- Post added at 05:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------
Dear Reader,
NFC requires a distance of 4 cm or less for communication. NFC operates at 13.56?MHz on ISO/IEC 14443 A/B, ISO 18092 etc. air interface and at rates of 106kbit/s, 212kbit/s and 424kbit/s, and higher rates are expected in the future. NFC has two modes of operation: Active and Passive.
In Active mode, both NFC devices generate their own radio fields to transmit data.
In Passive mode, one device generates radio field while the other uses load modulation to transfer the data.
NFC builds upon RFID systems by allowing two-way communication between endpoints, where earlier systems such as contact-less:good: smart cards were one-way only. Since unpowered NFC "tags" can also be read by NFC devices, it is also capable of replacing earlier one-way applications. A remarkably diverse and ever-expanding universe of NFC use cases is being explored and brought to market all around the world. Today, both research organizations and commercial enterprises are putting NFC to work in widely diverse areas.

Dear Reader,
NFC Tags:
These are small RFID chips and passive devices. Any NFC enabled active device can be used to communicate with it. These are manufactured by different companies and can have different sizes, shapes (circular and square) and format (paper sticker, anti metal, card format, key fob, tokens, and inlays). NFC Forum has standardized NFC tags into following four categories to cater for the broadest possible range of applications and device capabilities:
Type 1 is based on ISO 14443 A and was initially available exclusively from Innovision Research & Technology (Topaz™). Broadcom bought this company and now type 1 tags are not easily available. It has a 96-byte memory capacity, which makes it a very cost-efficient tag for a wide range of NFC applications
Type 2 is also based on ISO 14443 A and is currently exclusively available from NXP’s Mifare Technology (MIFARE Ultralight & Mifare Ultralight C). Mifare Ultralight has 48 bytes of user memory while Mifare Ultralight C has 132 bytes of user memory. These are widely used NFC tags across the globe and are available at quite low price.
Type 3 is based on FeliCa technology and is currently exclusively available from Sony. It has a larger memory (currently 2kbyte) and operates at a higher data rate (212kbit/s), which means it is suitable for more complex applications
Type 4 is fully compatible with ISO 14443A/B and is available from a number of manufacturers, including Philips (typical product example is MIFARE DESFire). It offers large memory-addressing capability with read speeds of between 106kbit/s and 424kbit/s – making it suitable for multiple applications.
Thx for the info where do I find NFC tags and how much do they cost?? Any user for a usefull low cost daily application of the technology???

Hi ^.^
Intro: After my M800 has tossed some inner parts during an accident, I had to reactivate my good old XDA Orbit yesterday.The Problem of this was the SN Static Navigation of the GPS in the past days, and I set the XDA to sleep in the drawer for this....
Now, after years, I know more about Windows Phone and its predecessors, so it is easy to hack the device now!
On HTC with WM6.x the hardware GPS COM port is locked to trusted applications, like the GPS Intermediate Driver that provides COM4:
This lock prevents SiRFtech, AplSiRF, etc. from setting SN mode and other chipset prefs. The setting for this in the registry is on
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SerialGPS]
"Signature"=dword:00000001
To enable access to all features of the SiRF (and QC....) chipset, just set
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SerialGPS]
"Signature"=dword:00000000
then after reboot access the GPS hardware directly under COM3: (or the device specific port), and 57600 baud (or the device specific aud rate) and enjoy the full features of chipset settings. The Orbit GPS actually stores all settings in its own nonvolatile memory and they survive even a system hard reset or a power loss. So be careful !!!
It's that simple. And there are thousands of webpages telling that SN is impossible to turn off on HTC devices...
greetings,
radias

Hello All!
I recently bought a new car that has a stock head unit from Toyota in the middle console, but no USB or even an AUX input for sound. But as the electronics enthusiast I am I started searching around for solutions that would fit my needs in regards to compatibility and usefulness, I haven’t been able to find the solution making me pleased.
I bought a 7” Tontec screen with resistive touch overlay and the first idea was to run this Kodi build on a Raspberry Pi B rev.2 (Kudos to Andrei for the fantastic project!) engineering-diy.blogspot.fi
Altough I would be able to use android as OS, mostly because I want to use the electrical and networking tools bought in Play Store. And since adding an android unit to my existing “Internet of Things” setup would be fairly simple.
To my knowledge there isn’t any stable good working build for android on the raspi and it struck me that I have two old but still functional android phones in the drawer. So I would only need to connect the phone to the screen, and basically get the same solution as with the MimicsX2 and Smartphone Uplink (smartphone-uplink.com)
Units at my disposal
Samsung GS2, GT-9300 (Will be used as Head Unit)
Samsung GS4 LTE+, GT-i9506 (Will not be used, my backup phone if my S5 breaks)
Tontec 7" Display (itontec.com/product-detail/product-name-7)
Display controller board (HDMI/Component-In)
Resistive 4-wire Touch Overlay
Touch controller board supplied with overlay (USB-out)
Pioneer 1-Din Car Stereo (Aux & USB for sound input)
Sure Electronics Audio Amp
ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter for ECU Readings
Units to be bought
Bluetooth slave controller [USB-BT] (For connecting touch controller to android phone)
Touch controller (USB) (Optional, adafruit.com/products/1580 To emulate mouse HID, would this eliminate the need of external android driver?)
Reverse Camera
Main Issues
What Bluetooth slave should I use? Other issues to be taken into considerations regarding Bluetooth?
How many Bluetooth devices may be connected to the phone at once?
External BT GPS for added accuracy.
“Hands free” connection to regular Smartphone with SIM-card. (How should this be implemented? Pause music etc.)
And finally attached a visual box diagram of what i meant to accomplish.
postimg.org/image/mbnjcve5t/
And since I'm completely new to using bluetooth communication, is this even a possible setup? Anything i should know? I would be very grateful for some help before ordering the bluetooth modules, or other needed components.
