Just seeing if any of you more tech savy people have heard of this or know how to go about attempting it.
Hey guys, wasn't sure where to post this but I figured I would start here.
I want to know if I would be able to use something like a remote desktop or another way to retrieve data from a serial cable to a computer over the network.
I am on a Formula SAE team for my school and a member from last year had built a car computer for use of a telemetry link. I know he attempted to use his GSM network but T-mobile capped him so low to where it didnt really ever work right.
Right now I have a Sprint Epic 4G Touch. I was wondering if there was a way to link my phone to either the car computer or the actual CDS data acquisition system just to see live data coming from the car as opposed to logging the data and viewing it later.
I still have to boot up the car computer and see whats all on there as far as specs go but I did snap a few pictures.

Basically its just a serial port out from the data acquisition unit to the computer. Just seeing if there was a way to go from the computer to my phone for the telemetry option. Or if there was a way to fab up a serial cable or unit directly to my phone so I can see the raw data at a computer nearby.
Any information regarding telemetry would be much appreciated. Thanks!
It's do-able. some friends and i did it with an r/c car a while back
there may be an easier way and someone else might chime in but
you could pull it off with
2 android phones one to send the data out and your normal phone to recieve the data.
an arduino and a usb shield to connect data (or possible an obd2 shield if you get an obd port)
2 pieces of custom software one to process the data and one to receive.
it's really not as difficult as it sounds.but definitive takes some time and effort.
of course things get much easier if you just need a wifi /bluetooth link for telemetry from the cockpit as opposed to a full cdma link. in that case you can eliminate the second phone.just depends really on how much range you need.
alot of it depends on what options the ecu/telemetry computer has for data out or if you'd need to tie into individual sensors. most decent systems should be fairly straightforward. and how pretty your interface needs to be. a straight text interface is fairly simple could even pull most data straight to a terminal with minimum effort.
if your really interested in doing this. let me know and i can probably point you to some good places to start.
edit if it is really just a standard serial connection it should be pretty straightforward also
edit again just remembered if it really is a serial port >>>>>
Since the audio output of the Android is accessible and addressable, [www.robots-everywhere.com/] wrote source code to use the left and right channels as separate serial communication lines. This circumvents the need to bust into the device and muck about with the hardware which is great if you want a no-risk hack that allows communications to an RS232 port. Any hardware on which you can write to the DAC (and control the sampling rate) is a potential target.
so you probably could do it with just 2 phones without the arduino ect.
or just a cable from the serial out port to the headphone in port would also work with the hack from above not much else would be needed
How far do you want to go, how much data you trying move and how much bandwidth. Hams have been doing data uplinks for decades. If it's only 50 miles, maybe you should look for a local ham radio club. Even if you need farther distances you maybe able to do something with packet radio or dstar. Even if you are dead set on using cellular, there are probably a few cell engineers in the club. After all Hams are the ones who pioneered the whole idea of cellular networks.
Thanks folks! I will do some more reading up on the stuff. I was just thinking maybe there would be some way to get remote desktop to run or see if i can jump the computer altogether. That serial port to headphone thing sounds kind of interesting I will have to spend some time on that. I know that data isnt too much. and I would only be trackside while we test in our parking lot to view live data coming from the car. It would just be brownie points to the judges if I can tune and view from anywhere in the world (with an internet connection).
Here is a simple set up for a GSM network that I was looking into but not sure if and how I would get it to work just using a cellular telephone. My teammate also has an E4GT so I figured I would try and see if there was a way.
Heres the link
http://www.motec.com/telemetryAU/telelemetrygsm/
Thanks again for the help!
if your running a full pc in there anyway the easiest cheapest thing to do would probably be to just add a wifi card then you could use remote desktop / vnc viewer to display that info on the phone.
lots of good info for random projects like this at www.hackaday.com
there are also a few companies who make cdma routers and links but they can get pricey.
not to mention you have to have another phone plan to use them

I came across THIS APP which led me to THIS HARDWARE
Kinda cool. Expensive though; ~$300

It's cool. I love to fly.
I saw this a while back but it was only for iOS back then. I'm glad to see them coming over to the dark side. I'm enough of a nerd as to go out and buy this. lol
Edit: Wait, I think they still may only support iPhones.
Edit again: There are apps in the Android market! Time to get on eBay! lol
im planning to get one of these toys
The British Car show Top Gear tested the iPhone version of that in the News Segment of the East America Special.......
http://www.ecrater.com/p/10813807/parrot-ardrone-quadricopter-controlled-by
I have 2 of these (see http://headloaf.co.uk for some stuff I've done with them).
There is already a development thread on ardrone-flyers.com with regards to Android control but I am sure that they will apreciate some input from this community too.
This is a great 'toy' and the community at ardrone-flyers.com are always looking to improve it even more. We've even managed to mount GPS to it and control it using 7ch TX rather than WiFi....loads of fun to be head with these!
It is designed for iOS use buy there are several scripts that can be run on the drone itself (as the drone runs off a linux base) so that it can be controlled via PC/Laptop, Mac, Android - these can all be found on ardrone-flyers.com along with some scripts for object tracking etc.
They are also some similar toys,which are working with bluetooth,even with older mobiles
That's freaking cool!!
Maybe after I pay some bills off and figure out how to pay for a wedding I will revisit this I love to fly RC planes and helicopers and I love playing with my phone so this is 2 awesome things in one!
Cool ... ... one day I'll get my hands on this techie stuff and control using an Android
that is Fking wicked just like the heli i build myself back when i was kid using foam and RC set.
but this is using the PHONE!!!!!!!! as the controller AWEOME!
i wonder how far is the range of those things

Range is 50 meters, but according to this:
http://www.ardrone-flyers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=807
You can stretch that out to 150-200 meters using some hardware and a little good old fashioned ADB.
it is cool cant wait to see some more of your future work
pretty sweet! can't wait to spy on my parents with this.
Even on ebay the price tag on this thing is high in would love to have one but I just don't see spending 300 on this plus parts if you want to mod it out
sent from a EVOlved device modded by the Borg.
Can someone specificy what this means
Play with other users via a Wi-Fi network
Another major feature is the use of several AR.Drone on a network.
Thanks to its own generated Wi-Fi network, players can create a game party where others players can join and play against each other.

Does this mean it creates a WiFi channel in which the phone connects to so it would work anywhere within the Generated WiFi range, e.g. my giant backyard?
EDIT:
* What type of connection is established between the AR.Drone and the iPhone?
The AR.Drone is connected to the iPhone by an ad hoc Wi-Fi link.
* Do I need a Wi-Fi router to operate my AR.Drone?
No, the AR.Drone creates its own Wi-Fi network. The iPhone(or device) can then connect to it just like with any Wi-Fi network.

Wow!
I also got one but it`s a pain in the axx to connect them with each other each time. Since Android does not support Ad-Hoc Wireless , we have to trick the AR Drone into Telnet thru your PC.
This means you have to carry a PC/Laptop with you to play with AR DRONE each time you want to turn on your Ar Drone
Kinda sucks ha ?
Read this LINK , this is how I get them to connect to each other .....
Anybody knows any better method to connect them ? I mean how to enable AD HOC on Android , I tried all the methods but none of them worked so far ... Is there an application or something ?
My phones are HTC Desire HD and HTC Incredible S

Well - this thread got me going a couple of days on getting a Drone
But have not found the time / probably won't either ... one thing I did read though is that it is possible to have the AR Drone connect to a WLAN (infrastructure - not adhoc).
It has some limitations concerning the IPs you use and probably security - but perhaps it is less a pain to carry around an extra router with your configured AR-WLAN
Google it - it was not hard to find
This is unrelated to Android but well worth posting.
For those of you in the RC hobby you've got to check out the Blade mCPx
A collective pitch heli with a 245mm rotor.. unreal
Definitely check out some YouTube vids of it, its just awesome. Amazing cp agility.. indoors!

My buddy has one and yes it does that. You can also view the on board camera on your evo. And dogfight with other drones. Also you can record video from drone. Pretty cool but 300 is a lot for a toy these days

Is there anyway to boost the wifi on this thing. I have 3 tablets (samsung tab 7, Lenovo Ideapad K1, and this) Samsung and Lenovo keeps connection with my home router but this one it disconnects half the time. Kinda frustrating. I assume this also will kill my battery faster than it already does. Any advice?
EDIT:
So I exchanged my tablet and still the replacement has bad wifi. I figure this had to be hardware related so following the procedure here I decided to take it upon myself to figure it out. If youre not comfortable doing this I suggest just keep returning your unit till you get a good one. Note when you remove the first side bezel there's a black sticker over one of the screws. I was able to remove it easily with an exacto knife being careful not to rip it so I can put it back on later. After removing the 3 sides except for the power button side (not necessary) you remove the back off and you end up with this.

I'm not sure which is the wifi antenna or if they work as a pair but I moved both antenna connectors around (I didnt try to remove it cause this might make the connectors loose) and moved the black antenna right on top the camera. Reference all the red arrows. I left the tablet on so I was able to tell if it was making a difference. Eventually got it to get 2 bars just like on my Lenovo Ideapad! Possibly one of the micro coax connetors was not making good contact. These are the same RF connectors on RC receivers so they are a little more susceptible in losing contact specially if they're too lose. So just move them side to side and dont remove or lift them off.
Prior to this I was alternating between no bar and 1. This time it consistently stayed at 2 bars regardless how I moved or where I moved in my room (our router is in another room upstairs). Carefully put the tablet back together and now my connection is stable 2 bars. Finally!
So it does seem like there's some QA issue with these tablets. There's a huge thread in the acertabletforum about this issue and some say to change your connection from DHCP to static but that doesnt make logic sense to me. Some have been able to exhange theirs gotten good replacements.
Anyhow if you have any question, let me know.
I was actually thinking that wifi going out when it's turned off might be on purpose to prolong the crappy battery life.

Not when its turned off. Theres a setting for that to disable wifi when you turn screen off. But thats not what I'm talking about. My wifi disconnects as I'm surfing or downloading from market or a file.
hmm, does it look like it has a weak signal strength or are you sitting at a good connection and it drops all of the sudden?
If it isn't a weak connection, I assume the device is just having a problem with your router settings. Maybe call support to see if they can give you information, but I haven't heard of this issue. What about open networks at coffee shops or the like? Do you have the same issues?
This is my third tablet and this tablet has the best WiFi that I have seen so far, so I don't think it is a problem with the signal strength.
Maybe I have a bad unit but I went to Bestbuy today and the a100 could not connect to their bestbuy router. It says "not in range". All the other ones (galaxys, xooms, acer, asus, HTC flyer all were connected to bestbuy wifi. HTC and samsung were the better ones at full bars. Acer had 2 and asus had 3. I don't recall what the xooms were. But man what a disappointment. The only thing good was that the a100 was the cheapest at $249. They must've brought the price down again.

Oh ok. Updated OP so looks like version number is irrelevant in my case.
Cloud somebody please tell me the NAME of this connector? I have another device that has the exact same one and I want to connect an external antenna to it and need an adapter for it (to FME). But since I do not know its name, I don't know what to order. It is not CRC-9.

No idea what it's called, but do be careful and order the right one as a larger diameter pin can force the contacts inside open permanently, thus disabling the internal antenna even without the external antenna connected.
Beamed from my Maguro.
Thanks for the heads-up. That already happened to me while messing with it. Then I messed with it a little more and it went back.
Anybody else know the name of the connector? Or where else I could try to ask this question?
Actually I tried to check in iFixit website here but could not find it. I think it would be useful to go to a good repairing shop and ask them to help you know more about this component.
Good Luck
external antenna connection/jack
AFAIK, they are all the same size. But save yourself the money, the external antennas are pretty much useless with newer cell systems. You can try a repeater that mounts on your windows but even then you have to figure out line of site with the cell tower you pull from.
It's not worth the risk. Internal works well enough. If you insist on external antenna get something Bluetooth based.

Q: What's the race of the dog fom the picture?
A: It's called dog! They're all the same.
Seriously, like I wrote in the first post, it's not CRC-9, I already tried that one, and although it looks like it might fit in, it doesn't! I also tried two others from an electronics shop and they didn't fit. (unfortunately I don't remember their names) There are several types of similar connectors like this one and most of them are not compatible to each other.

Thanks for the answer. I had tried, prior to opening this thread, to ask at a couple of electronics shops, but nobody could help. Then I tried again this week at another shop and the guy said it's "MMX" but they don't have it. But I'm guessing he actually meant "MMCX", because "MMX" doesn't seem to be a type of connector. I'll just probably order that one, and see if it fits...
So I tried MMCX. It doesn't fit either! The search continues...

some time ago i read on a galaxy s2 thread that the connector is only to be used by manufacturer to test the antenna and not meant as an expansion for after market accessory. The guy said that he actually broke a little pin (or anyway a little piece of metal) inside the connector by using an external antenna and now the phone only works with the external antenna. Just in case you didn't know..unfortunately i can't post the thread, it shouldn't be hard to find anyway.
I know, I know, don't worry about that! All I'm trying to do is find out the name.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Even if you power off your cell phone, the U.S. government can turn it back on.
That's what ex-spy Edward Snowden revealed in last week's interview with NBC's Brian Williams. It sounds like sorcery. Can someone truly bring your phone back to life without touching it?
No. But government spies can get your phone to play dead.
It's a crafty hack. You press the button. The device buzzes. You see the usual power-off animation. The screen goes black. But it'll secretly stay on -- microphone listening and camera recording.
How did they get into your phone in the first place? Here's an explanation by former members of the CIA, Navy SEALs and consultants to the U.S. military's cyber warfare team. They've seen it firsthand.
Government spies can set up their own miniature cell network tower. Your phone automatically connects to it. Now, that tower's radio waves send a command to your phone's antennae: the baseband chip. That tells your phone to fake any shutdown and stay on.
A smart hack won't keep your phone running at 100%, though. Spies could keep your phone on standby and just use the microphone -- or send pings announcing your location.
John Pirc, who did cybersecurity research at the CIA, said these methods -- and others, like physically bugging devices -- let the U.S. hijack and reawaken terrorists' phones.
"The only way you can tell is if your phone feels warm when it's turned off. That means the baseband processor is still running," said Pirc, now chief technology officer of the NSS Labs security research firm.
This isn't easy to accomplish. It's a highly targeted attack. But if you are really concerned about the government's ability to reawaken your phone, here are some things you could do.
Recovery mode. Put your phone on what's known as Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode. This bypasses the phone's operating system. Every phone has a different approach for this.
It's fairly easy (albeit cumbersome) for iPhone users. Plug it into a computer with iTunes open. Hold down the Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds (no less) then let go of the Power button. Wait for an iTunes pop-up. That's it.
For Android users, recovery mode varies by model. Android Magazine has a great tutorial here.
Create a barrier. Use a signal-blocking phone case. You can buy them (Off Pocket, HideCell) or even make your own -- assuming you have the patience to do so.
Pull out the battery. Without a power source, the phone can't come back on. This is the best, most surefire option. It's also, annoyingly, no longer a choice on most top-of-the-line smartphones. The iPhone, HTC One and Nokia Lumia don't have removable batteries. Luckily, the Samsung Galaxy and LG G3 still do.
Silent Circle, a company that enables top-end private communication, kept these issues in mind when it co-created the Blackphone. It has a removable battery. It uses PrivatOS, a stripped-down version of Android that reduces tracking.
And because spoofed cell towers can target its antennae too, Blackphone's makers are working with chipmaker Nvidia to develop their own custom, more secure baseband chip.
Silent Circle CEO Mike Janke, a former Navy SEAL, said they designed the phone based on revelations that the NSA can find powered off phones and the FBI can tap their microphones.
You probably don't need to fear that the National Security Agency is using this strategy on your phone, Janke said. Those spies are focused on hunting down a specified list of terrorists and foreign fighters. But he noted that the FBI is using these kinds of surveillance tactics in the U.S. for all sorts of crimes.

Your baseband and various other sub-systems like PMIC are always on as long as you have the battery connector. AND the WiFi is still receiving network info even when you think you have WiFi OFF, which is why chainfire developed Pry-Fi. This is what makes it so easy for NSA to attack you device.

Unboxing
The package comes with almost no accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable (to charge the internal battery), 1x User Manual, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Quality Certificate, 1x Warranty Certificate and finally the Monitor (of course). Basically, most of the content is paper.
As regards the Build Quality, well it is as good as an old-style blood pressure tool, probably better than standard digital ones though. The main part of the device, where all the magic happens, is made of Aluminum for the External Chassis, and of course plastic for the internals. It feels really solid, and after many days of usage it is still as good as new.
On the upper side there is the main Power/OK button, a Power/Charging LED (flashes while charging, steady when full), a Reset Button and the Micro-USB port for charging.
As regards the arm strip, it is made of the classic fabric used for this kind of accessories, photos show everything, including what words can't even explain.
The Display is really sharp with a nice blue backlight and also easy to read thanks to the big size.
Usage
There are three ways to use this monitor.
1) Without BT/WiFi (so as a classic digital monitor).
2) Using BT that trasmits data to the Koogeek App in real-time.
3) Using WiFi that transmits data to the Koogeek Server in order to sync everything even without having access to the app or smartphone.
When it comes to the measurement, it is really smart. First of all it is necessary to configure the monitor for the first time using the Koogeek App, then everything is set for any future usage.
Luckily the app is really well-made (with an annoying advert when you start it though), available on the Play Store, and compatible with Google Fit.
This is the advert, or popup, i mentioned before, i don't get why they choose to show this when the app gets started considering that the app itself is made for this usage (lol).
There are lots of features, most of them related to other devices (weight monitor, etc...) but the amount of details shown for the Blood Pressure is not limited at all. There is an indipendent graph for each section, blood pressure and heart rate, and it is possible to start the measurement remotely.
Here you can see it in action.
Also, something that i consider a must, is the possibility to add multiple users, in order to share the monitor with different people in my family. It is much easier to use a single smart monitor for everyone so that it is possible to keep track of each other' health.
As regards the precision, well being FDA certified guarantees maximum precision, and also the internal hardware is not bad at all, with Texas Instrument chipset and some other nice hardware.
Conclusions
Living in a country where Smart Home/Health is still sci-fi, this is something that really makes the difference, transforming something necessary less annoying and smarter.
This monitor impressed me for the build quality, and i know it isn't the cheapest monitor that can be bought, i admit it, but i wanted something complete and reliable, so i went for this one.
After having used it for more than 15 days, i can recommend this product to anyone that would like to get into this smart home/health world.
Pros:
- Reliable
- Dual Connection BT/WiFi
- Excellent Koogeek App with Google Fit support
Cons:
- Koogeek App doesn't start automatically

Hi there,
1. Is somebody have found how to use wifi? And what for is it?
2. How to retrieve data through Google Fit (inside settings there are data sharing opption between them)
3. Might be somebody knows hot to set up in the report of blood pressure to show exact measuring time not ondly data.
P.S. Koogeg support is not answering.

1. I use it, it supports only 2.4GHz networks so be sure to have your smartphone connected to it in order to configure properly the feature. It is used to sync the measurement result to Koogeek servers when your device is unreacheable via Bluetooth.
2. As far as i know Google Fit doesn't support blood pressure

Thanks Alberto for the answers. My doctor is always asking me to send him blood pressure report with exact time stamp when measurement was done. That is why I have bought this device hoping that such a thing will be implemented in the report. It's sad that I have deceived by myself. And sad that Koogeek does not going in to support.
