[General] RS232

I am trying to make an application with C++Builder which communicates with a PIC16F877A which has a RS232 interface. Unfortunately my computer only has USB ports so I have bought a USB to RS232 converter cable.
Well I am a complete beginner to C++ Builder so really at this point I don't even know it will be possible to do this... Any help and advice would be really appreciated.

[General] How to post a pic in a thread?

Sorry, let me ask a little more specifically: are you using the Android Central Forums app or the newer Android central app (the one that includes news stories)?

If you're using the Forums app, tap the little camera icon, select Gallery, then select the photo you want to upload (you should be able to find your screenshot easily). Select "This Forum" rather than "Tapatalk Hosted" when prompted.

[General] Streaming from a server to Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

Hi

I am checking this out on behalf of a friend. He has a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet. He also has a Linux based server at home which he has his photos and films stored on. Is there a way for him to access these files from his tablet. Can he stream the films from the server to the tablet? Does he need to download an app for this?

Cheers

Rob

[General] Picture in gallery is uncropped, opened is cropped

Hi all,
I got an email with a photo attached. I saved the photo to the sd card and when viewing the pictures in the gallery the photo is clearly uncropped. When opening the picture a cropped version appears. Opening the file on my desktop computer shows only the cropped version. Any ideas on how to get the whole thing? I know the information is still there on some level, otherwise it wouldn't appear in the gallery thumbnails.

[General] Easy Batter Saver app

I just downloaded this app, and I noticed that in the notification bar, the little droid is only green when I have wifi, data, or bluetooth on. Is the app only saving battery while those are on? Anyone else have experience with this app to tell me? Also, is there an even better app than this, perhaps one that uses less CPU and RAM? It's just for emergencies, because I don't really need a battery saver, but it's good to have one just in case.

Also, for other users of this app, the highest I can get it to save is 1.6x, is there optimal settings to increase that number? Thank you so much!

[General] Plantronics headset for Android with 3.5 Jack

I am wondering if this adapter will work for my Android phone that has a 3.5mm headset jack?

I am seeking a professional Plantronics call center headset instead of a Bluetooth. This one has a quick disconnect that will work with the Plantronics HW301N but say's it's for BlackBerry or iPhone. Mine has a 3.5mm jack so I suppose it will work?

Thanks
