solidxsnake Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Looking forward to hearing these results! Based on bonbon's input I'm guessing Timur's ROM does not fix it either. The Limefuel pack worked great up until yesterday using 1A out. Now the passthrough on the pack is hit or miss, as if the chip is confused. (Display goes wonky as the pack tries to decide what to do for several seconds at a time). Haven't decided if Im going to get it replaced or see if it can be modified to suit my needs. Timur's ROM worked fine for me on my 2012 N7. You can't control the deep-sleep timing from his "fixed-installation" mode, but you can just avoid using that entirely and manually deep-sleep the tablet through Tasker as I described above.

xt2005bonbon Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I guess I would add the following: for the past week, I've been cutting power on/off manually to both the tablet and USB devices when I get in/out the car so as to avoid the issue with cranking (i.e. OTG USB charging cable end gets plugged in once the car is running; once I leave the car, charging cable is unplugged). And since I've been doing this, everything has been running fine really. I'll report later to really confirm the observed behavior, but I'll definitely get that delayed relay part installed.

solidxsnake Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Got my first relay module in today. FYI, i just realized, these may not be the best bet for automotive, as they're cheap relays rated to 12VDC (and a car's positive rail is generally closer to 14VDC when running). I'm gonna try it out and not really expect any serious problems, but I won't be surprised if the relay fries and I need to replace them (in which case, I'll keep the same circuit board and just drop in an automotive relay). Just some food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hey solidxsnake, I remember you mentionning the use of a remote power button. Can you describe how you did this? btw, I bought this timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidxsnake Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) A shot of the switch: http://i.imgur.com/dISdiXD.jpg A shot of the soldering: http://i.imgur.com/Qt3T6yU.jpg All I did was solder a momentary SPST switch to the original power button after carefully exposing the two contacts. After soldering, cover it with glue/epoxy to protect the solder joints from ripping the traces off of the connector. Alternatively, there are a couple points on the PCB near the small ribbon cable connector you can solder to, but I don't remember which off the top of my head. That was on my 2012 tablet, which I've since retired after shattering the screen a while back. Using a 2013 tablet now, and I didn't bother with a remote power switch since it's been pretty stable so far in my testing. I bricked the thing a couple days ago by letting the battery run completely dead after borking my OS install. Letting it slowly charge now =_= As for the timer, I got that figured out now and working, but it wasn't as simple as I thought earlier. Mainly because the circuits I bought didn't do what I expected/wanted. The "delayed-off" they advertised was to turn on as soon as power was applied, and then turn off after some time (while power is still applied) and not turn back on again. I looked up the datasheet for the timer IC they use on the board and rewired it a little bit to get the functionality I want. I imagine you may have similar results with the timer you got... in any case I can design a full circuit for you if you'd like and throw the schematic up somewhere (complete with off-the-shelf components/part numbers).

Thanks for the info for your remote button. As for the timer, actually the one that I bought appears to fit the bill. That little thing has 17 different settings! Here is the manual. The developper has even youtube videos to show you how to set it up. I had a couple of questions and he replied pretty quickly. I selected setting #12 from figure 2 and setting #2 from figure 5. I have done some bench testing and so far it does exactly what I wanted it to do (stays on as long as the trigger sees a hot signal--as soon as trigger no longer sees a hot signal, timer begins and my load still gets power for a given time---perfect for the cranking scenario). Final test will be in the car, but I am expecting that it'll work just fine. On a side note, I am planning to buy another one of those to set up a 3rd brake flasher light. In DC, it is a must I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 ^ Yeah man. I see too many fender benders over here. I will definitely install this feature on our cars. I won't be 100% immune from people hitting me, but I think it will definitely decrease the likelihood of this from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had known about that timer, would have saved me some time and hackery Waiting on a microUSB B breakout board so I can relocate the microUSB jack on my (yes, I got another one because I broke the last one too!) latest N7 2013.

battelready Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 FYI, if you guys have to go in to get the airbag changed, might want to remove the tablet .

xt2005bonbon Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Just finished installing the timer in the car. It works perfectly so far . Very happy with this little thing. No soldering required. I made a quick video of it. I'll post it here later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyE Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 More specific? Not sure how anyone can help diagnose or troubleshoot an "issue" with no other details You Totally Right! My issue is, when my tablet gets rebooted while OTG Charging and it gets back not charging and I have to cut the power manually to reset it all and then it works again I'm currently running cm13 with elementalx 5.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You sure you OTG cable is still working properly? Mine has been slowly failing and the tablet was doing some weird thing (I am not running your ROM though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidxsnake Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Mine running on the latest Glitch kernel (and EX 4.05, I think the behaviour was the same) on SlimLP doesn't show that it's charging on boot, but it actually is. I've disabled off-mode-charge, so as soon as the tablet receives power, it boots up. The battery icon doesn't show that it's charging, but reading the kernel log ("dmesg" in a terminal/adb shell) shows that it is indeed fast charging, and the battery level does increase. On another note, I just received the same timer xt2005 bought in the mail today. Gonna be away from home till next week, but I plan on wiring that up and FINALLY being done with the hardware portion of this tablet install. After that I'm going to start looking into modifying the Glitch kernel to work the way I want. If I figure it out, I'll be sure to share my findings with everyone, but guarantees on the promptness =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 ^ I think you will be pleased with that timer gadget. As for me, I should receive my new OEM nav bezel by the end of the week. I also bought a pack of micro USB male connectors so I can fix my otg cable on the nexus end, and also customize its angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I bought instead an OEM USDM nav bezel, which will certainly require some chopping and stuff (and a bit of screen real estate loss). ---> 66060AG07A http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=95791&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1319109029 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part of the cubby bezel for me was getting the sides flush with the screen, which would involve adding a good amount of very thin material, which is a pain to do cleanly.

xt2005bonbon Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah. I am also planning to fit my soundstream pre amp underneath the tablet where the oem nav button are supposed to go. I am crossing my fingers that it'll work.. That thing has been in sitting in the cup holder for the past 6 years . http://shop.adnts.net/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/e/c/ecualizador-parametrico-soundstream-mpq-5xo-b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
