A2DP for W810i and HX2750 solution with i.tech Blueband and Bluecon

GOING WIRELESS WITH MUSIC When i got my W810i, having a walkman again was quite a lot of fun. But it slowly wore out when i had to unravel the always tangled headsets. I really hated that! So the only way was to unwire. I recently purchased yet another Bluetooth device. The i-tech blueband Bluetooth Headset. These work with the new A2DP profile found on newer bluetooth v2 devices. Unfortunately, my W810i does not have A2DP so it can't directly stream music to my new headphones. I have to use their Bluecon dongle. The great thing about this pair of headsets is that it connect to (at least) 2 devices simultaneously. Which means, that as i am listening to music streaming from the dongle, i can also have it simultaneously paired to my w810i handsfree profile. It works perfectly. When calls come in, the walkman stops, and the call can be received on the Blueband headset. After the conversation ends, the music comes back on. Great foresight on the part of the iTech blueband design. This is the solution to the w810i problem of not having an A2DP profile. SE will probably not upgrade the bluetooth stack in the w810i to support A2dp so this setup seems to be the best choice. The only extra thing is having a dongle sticking out of the W810i while listening to music.
As you can see in the pictures, the first picture shows the back of my phone and the back of the A2Dp dongle stuck with velcro branded low profile pads. The low profile furry black velcro blends with the color of my phone and the low profile hooks are stuck to the back of the a2dp dongle. With the short headphone adapter for the Sony Ericsson Fastport, there's no mess of wires and it make a good stand at a 45 degree angle for viewing movies too.. When the Bluetooth dongle is not in use, the velcropad on my phone is unobtrusive. I have also been using the headset with my iPAQ HX2750 PDA. Originaly, my HX2750 also does not come with A2DP support. but I've found the patch which enables my HX2750 running WM2003se to utilize High quality audio setup. This is similar to A2DP support. That patch is available here: http://www.nationalsportssymposium2007.com/misc/a2dpUpdateBroadcom.cab The quality of music coming from the Blueband headset is really quite great. Large headphones are definately much better than the little puny headphones. Overall a satisfactory gadget.
The featured bluetooth headset can be purchased from my friend Jimmy, available at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/170005 Please mention that you were recommended from the Prometheus blog.. he may lower the prices for u.
Newly made wire. I cut up a pair of fake sony headphones and shortened the wire.Resoldered to the fastport plug. It now has a mic, the button and the sony walkman logo. Usable as a handsfree with any stereo headphones. Showing you the original wire for comparison.

Clip Mod for Sony Ericsson IV-835 Bluetooth Headset

I finally modded my IV-835 bluetooth headset. Its better now that i don't have to stick it in my ear all the time. I can now clip it to my shirt like a pen. I don't know why sony doesn't make a similar clip. My design is not refined yet, so it has a rough finishing, but its functional. The clip need not be removed to stick the bluetooth into your ear. If sony made this, they could fabricate it to have a lower profile, which would make it fit better to the ear and look nicer too. I'm trying to find someone to fabricate the mould.. anyone knows who fabricates such moulds? Making it... I bought the cheapest charger i could find, which was a 10 ringgit car charger with the fastport plug. Cut the fastport plug into 2. After that, i cut off the stem off a pen, and drilled a whole into the pen cover. O then screwed the stem of the pen cover to the plug and superglued it for some sturdiness. Works well, now i can clip the bluetooth to my pocket when its not stuck to my ear. This clip works well with the iv-835 has the headset does not have a loop to get in the way when clipped to my pocket.

Sony Ericsson IV-835 Bluetooth Headset aquisition review

My Old Logitech headset actually broke. Went hunting for a replacement. Finally purchased this Sony Ericsson iv-835 Bluetoooth Headset via an internet dealer. The greatest thing about it is that it uses the same charger as my W810i. No more necessity of carrying more chargers while travelling, and I get a spare charger. Besides that, the usual technical geektalk, Bluetooth 2.0, DSP, tiny form factor. Stuff i noticed after i got it, Its got no loop over the ear, but its light enough to stuff into the ear canal. I had to use the largest ear bud. Its rather comfortable, but seriously, not snug enough to go jogging with. A small amount of headbanging will definately send the headset flying. Another point to note.. You CANNOT eat keropok crackers while using this headset!! Try stuffing your finger into your ear and eat the keropok crackers, the feedback is LOUD! Also, the redial function doesn't work, even with my w810i. Gonna email sony aboout it. **update: well i finally got it to work. Have to double press the button very very fast, for the redial to work. Even after knowing to have to double press it very fast, sometimes i still don't seem to press it fast enough.** I'm going to mod this headset soon so that i can put some sort of clip onto it to facilitate me clipping it to my shirt while working. I hate to have the headset in my ear all the time. More pictures after i mod it.

Sony Ericsson W810i New Aquisition

Finally.. after 6 months of cotemplating, I replaced my aging almost 2 year old Sony Ericsson T630 to the newer W810i The new W810i is Great.. Much faster Processor, and it has EDGE, which is great with DiGi, my cellphone provider. I have a small data plan for my DiGi account so edge is good for me.. Great things about the W810i: Its got EDGE! about 384 kbps down, which is half as fast as my streamyx. Plan to use it with my notebook for wireless data access.. Costs much less than any 3G access (i think) Walkman! Thats great, has a loud speaker too. Upgraded Java. Allows Maybank 2u use from my mobile and also the new Gmail mobile version. Looks Great! really.. my old T630 is aging in the aesthetics factor. Techie toys for geeky boys. The thing i hate most: It doesn't support Bluetooth Voice answer. Even my old T630 supported it but not this newer w810i. It also doesn't support the Voice redial. Its quite a big problem for me, as this means I can't answer calls with my Bluetooth headset anymore while scrubbed up. Still looking for a solution for this. Maybe a firmware hack may be possible. More later then

Happy Haloween!

First time I heard about haloween must be during cartoon watching days. Since its Haloween, here's some pictures of Pumpkin growing in my backyard till it reaches my dinner table. Its not the normal white people Pumpkin you can carve into a haloween latern, i think this is some other variety. Tastes great cooked with chilli, garlic and shrimp. I wonder what happens if Malaysian kids start going trick or treating. Tommorow sure in newspapers....PONTIANAK SUNDAL MALAM KEMBALI.... ha ha First Picture shows the pumpkin fruit with a flower. The flower withers and leaves the fruit to grow large. Second picture shows the fruit. Not like the white people haloween pumpkin.. not so big, not so round. Third picture is the pumpkin halved. Smells really nice, like a honey dew melon. Smells so sweet raw. This was cooked with fried shrimp, dried chilli and garlic. Tasted rather fine. HAPPY HALOWEEN.. 31st October 2006. More Techie Posts in the near future, its just a food post today.

GPS software with Maps for Malaysia and Singapore

Global Positioning System is really taking off in Malaysia. The following is my GPS setup, A Holux GPSlim 236 bluetooth GPS receiver, and my trusty HP iPAQ hx2750 and my old phone.

Good News Everyone! I'm now a reseller for Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receiver! I'll be selling at below market price for all my blog readers. Follow this link for more info: Link to below market price Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receivers This is a list of some GPS Software with Malaysian and Singapore maps which will be compatible to any Bluetooth GPS receiver. This write up is just a brief introduction to available softwares at this time. You can use these with any Bluetooth GPS receiver and most Pocket PCs and Notebooks with bluetooth capability.

I have written about my Garmin GPS 10x with Garmin Mobile XT software on my PPC .. The short reviews are ready: Link to the new Garmin GPS 10x review and Mobile XT compared with Garmin Que softwares
Garmin Que (Pocket PC)

This software has the most comprehensive and accurate maps. Maps are constantly updated by active mappers at http://www.malsingmaps.com/ . It is "rather legal" to use Garmin Ques with your PDA and this software requires no purchase. However it would be "perfectly legal " if you used it together with a Garmin GPS 10 receiver. So according to sabre23T at malsingmaps, its still a grey area. A step by step guide for installation is available at http://www.malsingmaps.com/ so its really easy to install and use on you PPC. Just be thankful to the mappers at http://www.malsingmaps.com/
iMAP from Navitech (Pocket PC)

This has a fairly accurate map with a nice GUI. It is a clone of Mapking, But the Map has been polished up. I think they have also polished up their map so as it is now a right hand drive map. Roundabouts go clockwise. Supports 3D views. Supposedly the firm is based in Singapore. Their website is at http://www.navitech.com.my/ Trial versions of this software is available but quite difficult to obtain. Trial software is unavailable for download at their website but should be available on request. Their Maps are more detailed than Mapking, as they are newer. They're newest map is dated 15th October 2006. The interesting part of this software is that it also has the building footprint on the map as well. This is quite nice as you can actually judge the building size on the map. This software with Malaysian and Singapore Map costs about 450 ringgit on its own. However It comes bundled with Holux GPS devices purchased from Navitech. MAPKING (Pocket PC)

Brother of iMAP, Mapking Version 7 is one of the leading GPS software, and is also bundled with HP GPS enabled Pocket PCs. Their maps are not as accurate as iMAP as they are slightly older. Their roundablouts go anticlockwise due to the taiwanese influence. Creates some havoc at highway ramps. Their most recent Malaysian map upgrade is in March 2006. Trial versions are available from their website at http://www2.mapking.com/en/MK7/MK7_Dowload_Eng.htm A new mapking Version G10 is also out. It looks similar to the maps from Navitech, but the Map version for Malaysia is still the same maps as from Version 7. So newest "Mapking Style" maps are still from iMAP Navitech.
Handymap AI Gold (Pocket PC) Similar to Mapking and iMAP in its presentation, this new software reads all mapking G10 maps as well as iMap maps. So if you're going to install 1 "Mapking like" software this is the one to install. I have it in my PPC, and it also reads all the Malaysian Mapking style maps from MalsingMaps.com

MioMap/iGo
(Pocket PC)

This software is originally meant for the Mio PPC but after some tweaking, currently it works on most Pocket PCs. wm2003se as well as WM5. This is actually a clone of the iGO software and all map upgrades will be handled by iGO. The MioMap V 3.2 uses iGO 2006 maps. This software has an Excellent looking map. Best 3D views available. But the map coverage is so so. You can find some POIs and roads with it. But its an excellent software to show off with.Supposedly it can actually find places with the postcode, but however, that doesn't work with Malaysian maps.
AGIS Navigator (Pocket PC)

The maps are not very detailed at all. One nice function that it has a direction arrow, so if you mark a certain location, there will be a line perpetually pointing to that location. (Some sort of beeline thing. Sooner or later, you'll reach your location. I can see it being very usefull in off road tracking. Otherwise, city routing is difficult. Their website is at http://www.asiagis.com.sg/ and they seems to be producing many new promising products.
GPS Tuner (Pocket PC)

This software doesn't come with Maps, but i've included this as you can make your own maps for this. It marketed as a GPS software solution for Off-Road use. Its great for off road use. With Google earth, you can make your own map, and the off road terrain can be quite clearly made out. See the topic on how to make the maps here:


Garmin nRoute
(Notebooks, Carputers and PCs)

Garmin Nroute is the most excellent mapping software for notebooks. Nroute is available from the Garmin Website and requires you to have a licensed Garmin Mapsource software to be previously installed. Read more at http://www.malsingmaps.com/ It uses maps from Malsingmaps, so 'nuff said. Again, at Malsingmaps, you can learn how to use a Bluetooth GPSr to work with Nroute using GPSProxyPC and Com0Com. That is slightly complexed and exhaustive. I've given up with GPSProxy PC and have resorted to using Franson GPSGate. Franson GPSgate is easy to setup but it comes with a price if you're going to use it after its trial period.

Mapking for PC
(Notebooks, Carputers and PCs)

Mapking for PC has a rather nice GUI too. Maps are similarly slightly old, last map in march 2006. Setup is simple for BT GPSr as the software searches the receiver itself. Finding POIs is rather straightfoward. Also requires purchase from the Mapking website.

Upcoming Navitel Navigator 2

This is by the same makers as Russa, its a Russian software, similar in implementation to Garmin que and is supposed to be the successor for Garmin Que. Its still not widely used yet as it costs 30 us dollars or more. Best thing is that it can convert Garmin maps which are available for free (still free at this time at malsingmaps) to be used with this software. A 3d version is on the way, so it may be the best looking and best functioning GPS software in the near future. This completes the current selection of Malaysian and Singaporean Maps fo the Pocket PC and notebooks today. As we go along, maps should become more accurate and useful. For the meantime, select one of these and hopefully get where you want to go.

I have written about my Garmin GPS 10x with Garmin Mobile XT software on my PPC .. The short reviews are ready: Link to the new Garmin GPS 10x review and Mobile XT compared with Garmin Que softwares read more about GPS at : Garmin GPS Guide for Beginners

Using Google earth for GPS mapping

Got this new PPC program.. GPS tuner.. It actually lets you use any JPG file as a map.. In this case i've use a google earth map of my housing area, and put it on my PDA. I can actually see the terarain quite clearly, and looks like it would be great for off road use...

Incredible how much stuff you have to charge before a trip!

Its Amazing! If you go for a short trip, this is what you may have to charge.. I have to charge My PDA, wife's PDA (not in pic), the spare battery, Digital Camera, batteries for walkie talkie, GPS receiver, my Bluetooth headset which is chargin elsewhere.. Have to carry along all the chargers also!! I've made it such that husband and wife use the same chargers, so 1 charger for the PDAs and 1 Charger for the phones.. . wife's mobile took this picture.. Look at all the little lights..... so cute...

My Happy Upgrade to 3gb Storage

Finally bought a 2GB Compact Flash card.. This is to supplement my previous 1GB SD plus USB card. Ths SD plus USB card is excellent, but to fully exploit its usefullness to double up as a Thumbdrive, I had to have more empty space in it.. (I love my SD card.. it converts into a USB readable drive by folding into 2. Probably the tinest thumbdrive around.) The only physically and economically viable option was a 2GB Compact Flash card for the other slot on my hx2750. I got a great deal from http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/gizmo.htm for the Apacer 150x 2GB CF. Anything more than 2GB was getting too expensive. I got more than enough storage space at this time, so I can keep power point presentations to refer to, hundreds of MP3s, even full length movies. My library of medical reference books have also increased.. All in isilo format. Compedium of Games.. ;). Basically.. I have lots of room for rent now in my pocket.

Phishing Bastards for Maybank2U

I got an email with the screen shot as above. Bloody Phishing! Phishing is a form of fraud in which a message sender pretends to be a representative of a legitimate organization in an attempt to trick the recipient into divulging important personal information like a password or bank account number Its a scam to get your maybank 2u password Clicking on the maybank2u.com hyperlinks to http://www.archev.net/dotproject/classes/complete.htm clicking on "forgot password" hyperlinks to a javascript. which i assume steals your password too. I have reported the matter to Maybank. and sent them an email. I asked them if anyone will read the email over the weekend.. they said NO.. Then if i were a criminal i suppose its best to strike during the weekend too. This just makes maybank's credibility go down the drain. This fellas are still active as within an hour, they have made changes to their website.. Now it also asks for atm number! How safe do you think maybank 2u is?

Doctors and insurance while in Ambulance transfers..

Page 8 Sunday Star, 10th september 2006 As far as I know.. and this has been a subject of discussion often in my circles.. Doctors are not covered by any insurance while in the ambulance transfereing patient. We used to call it:" kalau Mati, mati katak la" Only the Ambulance driver is covered with insurance! I have had friends hurt while transfering patients , not badly hurt enough to be in newspapers, they got a few days MC .. thats all. One friend can't smell much anymore for the rest of his life.. Clarify my behind!! Show the black and white la!! Dr Chua also another one.. Baffled my ass!! Doctors accompany ill and critically injured patient all the time, every day, in the ambulance.. Make sure chua knows what happens in his department before he talks!! In his time, maybe a nurse was enough. But with so much litigation nowadays, (remember the boy who's hand died because of in ambulance care?) Tyres!! My wife's hospital: New Tyres put on a Kementrian kesihatan pajero today, next day, somebody had changed them to 4 old tyres.. (maybe this is rare but it happens) On paper, the pajero has new tyres, but in reality- old ones) Why is it.. we have to wait for bad things to happen before something gets corrected? Human Nature? Anyway.. for the record.. this doctor has passed away.. government support was not great, they gently ignored the case and pushed it to some small thing as seen in http://medicine.com.my/wp/?p=1463 Sad but true..

Can the PDA replace the Notebook?

PDAs have come a long way. My iPAQ hx2750 Runs a intel bullverde 624 Mhz processor, with 128mb Ram and 128MB rom built in, SD and CF slot expandable. Wifi and Gprs via BT I can check mail, surf internet sites (barely, tell you why later), Read and Alter PowerPoint presentations, manage appointments, use Global Positioning, watch movies, listen to music and lastly and most importantly, I run a whole friggin library of medical software and textbooks. Checking mail is near perfect. I use Gmail, and Gmail has a mobile version which displays very well on my Pda Screen using Pocket Intenet Explorer. If I need to download lets say a powerpoint presentation, i use Opera for PPC. I can download the PPT and then view it with Clearvue's presentation software. Same goes for PDF files, download and read. No need for any conversion. The setback here is always the screen viewing area. 320 x 240 is just impossible to read much properly. Managing Appointments is definitely more convienient on a PDA rather than on anything else. With reminders and calenders and most of all, portability, nothing beats the PDA. Excellent. Multimedia. on a PDA is great. Playing MP3 music, and listening to music via Bluetooth wireless is great. Watching Videos with TCPMP software is excellent. Video on the move. You can watch your torrented movies and TV serials, anywhere, anytime. Storage on a PDA is quite large. If you have deep pockets, SD and CF cards will support many many GBs of storage space. See my Sandisk Ultra II SD Plus USB 1GB card review Global Positioning System on the PDA is Excellent!! I wish it were built in to my PDA, but I use my PDA with the Holux GPSlim 236 and coupled with Garmin Que Software, its great too! Never get lost, and the portablity of the PDA makes it entirely possible. Medical Software! I have 10-20 textbooks for reference at a time in my PDA. Using iSilo for the textbooks. Skyscape Medical Programs for my specialities, and the Netter's Anatomy atlas for PPC.. great.. Battery life is OK.. not great but better than notebook battery life, but with extended battery packs, car chargers available, light travel chargers available, you can always plug in and charge anywhere. Biggest advantage is the Portability of the the PDA. Fits in your pocket. Biggest problem is the small screen of the PDAs of nowadays. Need a slightly larger screen. This is why I need a 640x480 resolution in a big screen which is only available in the ipaq hx4700. A 4 inch screen with 640x480 resolution. Although you don't really get a total 640x480 , screen size is larger and it is more possible to use it for viewing regular PC desktop sized documents. Can't make the PDA too big though.. No one will be able to fit it in the pocket. Need it slightly thin with a plastic cover to protect the screen. So can the PDA replace the notebook? With a slightly larger screen with higher resolution, slightly thinner form factor, adequate protection for the fragile touchscreen, YES it can. Software is already available. Battery life is ok.. We can actually skip Tablet PCs for the meantime and skip WinXP tablet PC edition and jump on to the Windows Mobile 5 bandwagon (and hope they get the bugs out) It is now the Era of the Pocket PC!

HP's iPAQ rx4000 gets a big brother: the rx5915

This new line of consumer-oriented HP iPAQ devices is growing into a family right quick. We just saw the rx4000 a couple of days ago, and now we're catching wind of at least a couple rx5000 devices. The rx5000 types go with the "Travel Companion" moniker, since they include a SiRF Star III GPS receiver for a bit of navigation action. WiFi seems to be optional for the rx5000 units, but the rx5915 has it, along with a 3.5-inch QVGA touchscreen, 2GB of flash memory, 64MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, SDIO slot, standard 3.5mm headphone jack and a 400MHz Samsung processor. Hopefully these specs give us a better indication of what HP is packing in the rx4000 units, and the flash memory size does appear to be a variable, so we're guessing we'll at least get a 2GB option in rx4000 land. The Travel Companion iPAQs feature a traditional 9-way direction pad, along with 2 Windows Mobile buttons, but none of the rx4000's jog dial action. As for price, the rx5915 weighs in at a hefty, if almost reasonable, $600. We've been hearing some rumblings about whether or not these new iPAQs were going to make it to the States, but we can at least say that the documentation we've seen shows off the rx5000 nav features gallivanting around North America, so we've got that going for us.

Warez Awareness!

WAREZ! whats that? Do you guys understand what the term Warez Means? Expanded, it means "illegal software" When you buy pirated software, you're not actually buying software at all. You're paying someone who stole the software of the developer. Most of the time, you're not even paying the guy who stole it. OK. The person who stole it is called the hacker. Hackers who steal it usually release the software for free. Its sort of like they're proud they could get past the protection the developer made to prevent it from being stolen. So they like people to know, the hack the software and release it for the massess. BUT let me make you aware, that there are website which hackers operate from and if you can find the websites, you can at least thanks the people who haced the programs, giving you an extended trial on softwares you may not have tried if it weren't available for nothing. SO thank the Hackers, and evaluate the programs and BUY if you like it.

Apple II Games Galore!!

I suddenly realized I wanted to hear the microwave song.. How many people still rememeber the song? I think the same song was played in the Star Wars Bar Scene. Whats the name of the song ah? Anyway, this site http://www.virtualapple.org hosts thousands of apple ii preograms. Go try it to relive your past presently.

Better from Chickenpox!

Exactly 1 week after getting diagnosed with chicken pox. (Started symptoms 9 days back.) Was on Acyclovir for 1 week. Much better already! Can smile HA HA!! Retrospectively.. I think the 1st day of acyclovir should have been a larger loading dose. ( I don't know for sure if it is practised or not.) Day 2 and Day 3 post diagnosis was the most difficult. Painful on day 2 and Day 3, lethargy malaise. Generally really bad.. All that i could do was sleep, sleep and more sleep. Slowly got Better.. Day 5 was the day which could be said to be significantly better. The face was the most badly hit with the pox. Body and limbs were relatively less pox. Thats why i think i should have got a highter loading dose of acyclovir. Another problem is that I got generic acyclovir, Hospital is cheap.. Maybe the original Acylovir (Zovirax from Pfizer) would have been better. The cost of my medication for this week totals up to at least about 450 ringgit (120 USD). I have to be getting back to work by the end of this week. But I think I won't be going to the operating theatre for at least another 10 days. (i hope) Maybe I'll just be sitting in the clinic seeing patients.

Wah this chicken pox business is quite uncomfortable! 26th of august, feeling muscle aches and general malaise. Pumped myself up with 90mg of arcoxia and 100mg of volteran, felt better after that.. 27th of august, still feeling malaise with a bit of fever. pumped up 200mg celebrex, 250mg mefenamic acid and 1 g of paracetamol.. also worked.. 28th of august.. could actually go to work. at work small vesicles started popping out, and got diagnosed by a skin specialist that i had chicken pox. 28th of August, BBQ night.. could even have a BBQ in my house.. (thats another story) Next day all the vesicles broke out.. Bloody painful! There was no denying it!! It was chicken pox alright. For the next 2 days, I couldn't even touch the computer.. All i could do was eat acyclovir and atarax, and pop sedatives to sleep and get it over with. Parents also came down from KL to look after me (big baby) Today its getting a bit better.. slightly more comfortable.. but still not normal... more later
