I am aware of how the 360 will communicate via low power BT4. But, the 360's Wireless N capability is a surprise.
The most interesting possibility (to me) is increasing the ability to perform standalone functions. For example, if it could connect via WiFi and play music or radio. I hear there are other watch devices with WiFi capability but I know no details.
If anyone has insight to the potential uses or Wireless N please share.
Maybe it will be used for Wi-Fi location?
I think that android wear devices are acting like display & input accessories to other devices and will not handle computations.
It could be for WiFi direct capability allowing for speedy file transfer between phone and watch. Although, I highly doubt it will have wifi on board as none of the other "wear" devices do, I would take the BestBuy leak with a grain of salt.

Any new info, the best buy site still list the moto 360 as wireless n capable. Anyone figure out what it does for the 360?

i want confirmation....
my feeling is that BB fudged up and posted that incorrectly
would love it to be included, but highly doubt it... having wifi would have been a big thing and we would have heard about it already
The Moto360 has no Wifi capabilities.

According to the FCC it does.
If it does have Wi-Fi, there is no functionality or way to make it connect. So unless it's totally hidden, this baby is Bluetooth only.

Is anyone having luck with ELM 327 (OBD-II to Bluetooth) adapters working with their Galaxy Nexus and / or ICS?
I never had a problem with my DroidX running 2.3.X but the SGN refuses to link with the adapter. I have it paired, but will not link up once the program (Torque Pro version 1.5.28) is running. I'm able to pair and use all my other bluetooth devices, only the ELM 327 is inop when I run the Torque apk.
Any help or feedback is appreciated.
I have no issues using the free torque.

I had problems with the pro version with my previous phones but none with the free version, as others also said.

ebay is a good place, cheap too!
Thanks for the feedback. It's a little humbling having to borrow the wife's phone (which previously was mine) to scan fault codes and do data logging.
...I don't know how she can stand all those damn Words-with-Friends notifications.
Anyway, I'm going to uninstall the paid version today and try the lite version to see if it's a HW problem or a SW bug.
BTW, I bought mine off some generic wed site for $20 shipped. It works, but crashes a lot and constantly requires manual resets (i.e. pull the connector out, and then re-plug it back in). If you are just playing around with the device and occasionally using it to check codes, this is fine. But if you want to do long term data logging, this will cause major headaches and I would recommend buying a more expensive name-brand unit that has better reliability.
Did you pair with it and enter the four digit code(usually 1234)? Also torque has a mild Bluetooth adapter diagnostic section, might want to peek in there.
Yeah, I paired it with "1234" but the program (Torque) won't activate the bluetooth device when it powers up.
I'll have to check the Bluetooth adapter diagnostic section and see if there is any information in there that can help me.
Thanks.
just send the dev an email, he helped me out with some issues a while back
Goofy problem, but I figured it out.
After setting the bluetooth adapter to the ELM 327 device, it was always revert back to the 'U connect' (Chrysler) device from the wife's car even when i was in a different car that war miles away from the Chrysler.
After 'forgetting' the U connect, the ELM 327 device setting would stick. I haven't tried to repair the Chrysler yet, but im not all that concerned since the BT call quality is pretty poopy in the car.
Hi all
I'm able to use the lite version of Torque, but the pro seems to connect/disconnet immediately
i'm alone ?
Mine works perfectly...
I bought a cheap ELM327 Bluetooth of Amazon for $20 and hooked it up to Torque Pro. You have to set up the ELM327 in the device settings in Torque...

Hi mi friend i' have same problem when i start torque pro is disconned,you find a issue?

This is an old thread, but wanted to give my $0.02 for those who reference this in the future...
The quality of the device is key - the cheaper the device, the more chances of a crash. As you upgrade your app (e.g. Torque), it likely queries the devices more often and for more data. So when you have hardware that is not a quality one, the chances of crashing are higher. If you're using it just for scanning DTCs, I would suggest using a cheaper $20 one on Amazon and ebay. If you're using it for a full scan for sensor data, real-time data, etc, then you should probably buy a more expensive one (Kiwi, Scantool, etc) that has a real ELM327 chip.
So which NFC tags have you purchased that work well?
EDIT: Probably should've posted this in the Accessories forum. Mods - feel free to move this if it isn't Kosher.
I bought a 5-pack of the Samsung TecTiles and they work great. They allow for 1K storage which is good if you plan on putting a lot of data or things on them.
Purchased some from tag stand a while back, they come in different sizes and they work fine with the s3
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
How much did you guys pay? Wondering if there's any real difference between the different brands besides size.
I got them for around $15, they came in different sizes.
something like this: http://www.tagstand.com/collections/nfc-kits/products/nfc-hobbyist-starter-kit-15-stickers
Is it just me or are the official TecTiles almost worthless?
Is seems they can each only do 1 single function and the phone needs to be unlocked to activate them.
For instance, say I have the TT programmed to connect to a specific WiFi network. This only works if WiFi is turned on and the phone isn't already locked. You can't have it:
a) Turn on WiFi first
b) Connect to a specific network.
Instead, you have to unlock phone, and turn on WiFi manually. Makes it kind of pointless to just TAP and be done with it.
Maybe its just the Samsung app, it's extremely limited. Are there better apps?

I got the tiles from Samsung. I'm going to use them for putting my phone into silent when I put my phone on my nightstand. I think that going with Samsung's official ones are the best.
Haven't looked too much into what can be done with tags. But, could I for instance set one up to turn on my bluetooth and pair it with my car when I get into my car? And also unpair and turn off bluetooth when I get out?

I'm not so sure about that. I've heard some of the aftermarket ones work just fine.
I got mine here http://tagsfordroid.com/tags/Home.html
10 of them plus a free key fob for $16 and fast free shipping. All of them work perfectly. I use NFC task launcher to write them
Wow, I had no clue an nfc chip could do that. So stick one in your car and program it to do certain things! That is great. I need to get some of these.

Hey all,
Anyone try the Sony XAV-601BT with the Galaxy S3 yet? I know it supposedly works, but was wondering if any of you had actual experience with it. Sounds like a dream come true. I don't think I'd even use the full mirror link capability but just knowing its there would be really cool, and mainly I'd be after all the controls available... Play music through my phone via Bluetooth, play CDs, XM, hook my phone in via USB to charge (free up my cigarette lighter adapter). Make calls via bluetooth. Seems to be a serious all in one situation, and the added mirroring would be great.

It's not a "dream come true" yet. It's a toy for geeks. I just got it and it seems like it might be a source of frustration. My wife has the S3 and I have the Note 2. We'll see how it works out. So far I have my suspicions that my wife will be in FM or CD mode most of the time. We'll see if she does Pandora at all, and I'm hopeful that she will actually use the phone. But mirrorlink/drivelink has already been proven to be buggy for me on day 1. Sometimes it works.. sometimes it requires a reboot. Not exactly a dream if you're on the road. I'll keep you updated though. So far I can't find a 2013 firmware update.
I looked at this head unit for a while but ended up going with the Pioneer Appradio 2 (SPH-DA100) and love it so far. Look into it and the app ARLiberator. It is a pretty slick combo. I got a great deal on it at Best Buy (open box) for $235. The only extra thing you need is a set of cables to plug into the back if you don't get the pioneer set.
hey,
i have a very simple question,
I have a note 3 and use the screen mirroring option to send youtube to my media server so i can see it on the big screen as we dont have a smart TV.
but i want to be able to do that anywhere without a media server, their is all these smart usb sticks that turn TV's into smart ones but i dno where to start, i just wanna be able to send my media to the TV, i have a hdmi for my note 3 but it requires a power source and the cable isn't long enough and i really didn't research it properly before buying...
im sure their is a usb or something that will allow me to do this that doesn't cost a lot,
Because I'm interested in the subject too, what software are you using as media server?

Never had a wifi issue. I'm using it in a setup with our 12 year old 40" Sony CRT tube tv lol!!! which I converted to "smart tv". That tv doesn't even has hdmi port, so I have A/V cable going into that converter box with HDMI output and connect smart stick to it. Controlling it with a small bt keyboard and streaming videos from usb stick connected to my Asus wi-fi router. Mostly used by my kids, and obviously streaming movies over wi-fi, and never an issue. This is an old stick version, they have new ones with a better spec. I think most of the issues were with some of the earlier versions, even prior to mine, where stick used to get overheated and causing various issues included wi-fi.

Hi there guys,
I'm thinking of purchase a bluetooth heart rate monitor but all of them say that they need Android 4.3(not a problem) and Bluetooth 4.0. Our phones don't have bluetooth 4.0 (not even close)
Does anyone know if it will work? ..is should have compatibility but I don't know for sure. Anyone tried that before or had a friend who tried it?
no one has an experience with that? ..oh dear, probably I'll be the only one to try this

Well, I've moved on to the GNex and according to the spec sheet, it has the BT 4.0. However, it never receved the SW to support it. The BT 4.0 devices just wouldn't work with it... Some did however, but only via BT 2.x... There had been enormous work done to enable 4.0 and now it can be enabled.
The best way to go about your purcuse is to ask the sailsmen to tryout the device and try to pair it with your phone. If it works, buy it, if not, skip it

I'm in a small city so try before you buy is out of question. I did the purchase ..when it comes(15-30 days ..China ) I'll test it
If it doesn't work, I'll test it with a friend's note 2 and see what happens, it should work at least with note 2 as it has BT 4.0
P.S. If oneplus one becomes available, I'll retire my DHD :victory: (also Oneplus one has BT4.1)
