  • GTW 270 Series Frequently Asked Questions
    GTW 270 Series Frequently Asked Questions How do I pair my GTW 270 Hybrid with my gaming platform via the dongle? Upon arrival the dongle is already paired with the earbuds. To pair your GTW 270 Hybrid with your gaming platform, please follow the instructions below. 1. Open lid to power on earbuds 2. Plug the dongle and power on your gaming platform. Please use the accessory extension cable for PC or PS4. 3. The dongle will light purple when it automatically connects to your earbuds In case you reset your paired device list, please follow the instructions below. 1. Have both earbuds in the closed charge case, then open the lid. 2. Press and hold the charge case button to initiate pairing. The LEDs pulse red and blue. 3. Plug the dongle into the USB port of your gaming platform of choice. Use the extension cable to connect it to a USB-A port for PC. Press and hold the dongle button to initiate pairing. Why doesn’t the microphone work on my GTW 270 Hybrid when I am using the aptX low latency connection via dongle? aptX low latency only supports the playback channel, which is why the GTW 270 Hybrid is not suited for competitive/online multiplayer games such as Fortnite or CS:GO. For the GTW 270 Hybrid, we strived to have full immersion in experiential games. This is something that will only be possible through the aptX codec which has higher bandwidth, resulting in supporting only the single audio channel without having the microphone functionality.

  • Smart TV Connection Options for FORMED
    Smart TV Connection Options for FORMED FORMED does not currently have a TV App, although this is something we hope to offer in the future. Additionally, users may encounter issues streaming the videos available on FORMED directly on their SmartTV using the pre-loaded browser on the TV. This is likely because the browser is incompatible with our video player. FORMED’s supported browsers are: • Google Chrome • Firefox • Safari • Edge If you would like to access FORMED on your SmartTV we recommend the below options: Direct Connection (HDMI) You may use an HDMI cord/cable to connect your HDMI-enabled computer to your SmartTV (all of which have at least one HDMI input). Select the HDMI input option and after you have connected the cord to both devices your computer screen should be mirrored on your SmartTV. * If your computer screen is not mirrored on your TV display you may need to navigate to your computer's projector/projector settings and ensure that either "Duplicate" or "Second Screen Only" is selected. The latter choice will cause the video to only appear on the TV. Chromecast If you use Google Chrome as your web browser you can stream videos or movies from FORMED to a SmartTV using a Chromecast device. This device plugs in to your TV’s HDMI input will allow you to stream FORMED from your computer, tablet or smart-phone to your SmartTV. The Chromecast is $25 - $35 *We've found the easiest way to cast FORMED is by using a computer with the chrome browser, rather than casting from a phone or tablet.

  • Samsung Dongle Leak Suggests the Smartphone Maker Is Killing the Headphone Jack 5 August 2019, by Dalvin Brown
    Samsung dongle leak suggests the smartphone maker is killing the headphone jack 5 August 2019, by Dalvin Brown While the latest development isn't groundbreaking for most, it may be disheartening if you're a Samsung user who still relies on a 3.5mm headphone jack to plug in earbuds. The Korean giant was one of the last major holdouts, so users who swear by wired headphones are increasingly running out of new smartphone options. If you aren't ready to ditch the cord and use wireless earbuds, you can buy headphones that connect via Lightning cable. Lightning headphones plug directly into the charging port of your device, however, the major downside is you can't listen to music and charge your smartphone at the same time. Credit: CC0 Public Domain ©2019 USA Today Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. Headphone jacks on new smartphones are a dying breed—first, Apple's got rid of the 3.5mm portals on iPhones and other flagship phone makers like Google, Sony, Motorola and Huawei followed suit, with the exception of a few models. Now, a leaked photo of a dongle appears to show that Samsung is heading in the same direction. Images of Samsung's upcoming 3.5mm to USC-B dongle have popped up online ahead of the South Korean smartphone maker's Galaxy Note 10 unveiling, which is set to happen in New York on August 7. A website for Samsung fans called SamMobile released the set of photos on Thursday, reporting that the adapter will most likely come packaged with the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

  • Bringing Programability and Connectivity Into Isolated Vehicles
    1 ProCMotive: Bringing Programability and Connectivity into Isolated Vehicles ARSALAN MOSENIA, Princeton University JAD F. BECHARA, Princeton University TAO ZHANG, Cisco Systems PRATEEK MITTAL, Princeton University MUNG CHIANG, Purdue University In recent years, numerous vehicular technologies, e.g., cruise control and steering assistant, have been proposed and deployed to improve the driving experience, passenger safety, and vehicle performance. Despite the existence of several novel vehicular applications in the literature, there still exists a signicant gap between resources needed for a variety of vehicular (in particular, data-dominant, latency-sensitive, and computationally-heavy) applications and the capabilities of already-in- market vehicles. To address this gap, dierent smartphone-/Cloud-based approaches have been proposed that utilize the external computational/storage resources to enable new applications. However, their acceptance and application domain are still very limited due to programability, wireless connectivity, and performance limitations, along with several security/privacy concerns. In this paper, we present a novel reference architecture that can potentially enable rapid development of various vehicular applications while addressing shortcomings of smartphone-/Cloud-based approaches. e architecture is formed around a core component, called SmartCore, a privacy/security-friendly programmable dongle that brings general-purpose computational and storage resources to the vehicle and hosts in-vehicle applications.
