So I have a Universal and a Wizard. I prefer the Universal to use as MP3 player cause it has a normal headphone jack so i can use my Sony headphones rather than the crappy headphones that comes with the wizard. The only thing is that the universal lack of hardware buttons and its hard to reach them while in my pocket cause the universal is abit big. I've done some research before to find a "media remote control" for my universal like on the psp or minidisc. Since I coudnt fint it i bounced into that credit card sized mini bluetooth keyboard! Since the keyboard is that expensive and i dont need a BT keyboard... made me come on the idea of using the wizards keyboard and/or hardware buttons to controll my universal via BT. So my question is, is there such app to do this? I've been searching on google but only fond VNC and TSC like apps, and I couldnt find anything either on this forum. I hope someone can help me out [:
im not sure about ppc but if you pair the universal and a se k700i you can control the universal with it using the remote control app that comes with it
Get something like this:

You can control your Uni's media player and can use your custom SONY headset.
Also, there is other similar product which I like better (look for the R35):

Its not to use a PDA as a remotecontrol, but looking for a small BT remote control for a PDA.
On some boards other people looking for same, but nobody knows.
A small device like a remote contol for car alarm.
I tried a BT headset , but found no way to get the button status
programaticaly .
Anyone has an idea ??
Could you please explain what you want to do?
I did not quite understand you.
Do you want to remote controle your PPC via Bluetooth and Desktop PC or are you looking for a remote controle to do something with your PPC while you are a few meters away.
I never heard of such a thing though...

i look for 2nd.
I can do this with my mobile phone, sent keystrokes via BT to PPC and use this programmatically.
But look for smaller device . like a headset, cause I cant put my mob phone on a keyring ;-)
But cant find such a small BT device ( like remotecontrol for car alarm)
also cant figure out how to get the signals when a button ön a headset is pressed.
Could you please give us some examples of successful usage of mobile phone for remote control? It can be interesting and funny.
There is software to use a fone as BT remote control for a PC or a Mac.
Name is Bemused ( dunno if i spell it right ).
You can use this to control MediaPlayer etc. on ur PC.
But I am looking for a small solution for a PDA, to start an app on a PDA when I am a few meters away.
okay, imagine this.
i'm walking in the school campus and someone (hopefully a pretty girl) comes up to me and wants to talk to me while i'm listening to mp3 on my pocket-pc and i have the small bluetooth remote control clipped to my shirt. i can simply click the button that i assigned to 'pause' to stop the music. then talk to that person and then press the 'resume' button when i'm done to resume the music.
all without having to pull the device out of my pocket and turn it on and all that stuff...
what do you think?
Hi msafi!
I think this is what you are looking for:

If you're going bluetooth, you might as well use a full keyboard credit card sized.
Please send me one if you have one spare!

can this be done?
my magician detect the intelli mouse, but can do nothing with it...
cant also use the "stowaway think outside mouse" drivers since they detect only the Stowaway mouse... also couldnt use the IFrog Bluetooth keyboard drivers, even though they support HID detection...
can someone know how to connect between these two?
any news on that... i´m trying to use intellimouse explorer, too... no luck...
someone out there to patch the Thinkoutside drivers ?
I saw somebody saying that the widdcom BT stack supported the mouse...
I dont know if its true, but to find out id have to intstall a new OS (im on 2005) and hack around with BT stacks...
Id rather just hear from somebody running the 2.02/2.06 sin merged rom with the widdcom stack to see if it works. But i guess there isnt anybody with that combination and a BT mouse too.
Magician only...
i ment it to work on the magician.
do you have a magician?
I have a german magician,
neither ms bt mous nor ms bt keyb works!
maybe we should state out that bluetooth firstly only specifies the way how information is being transferred: via radio in a certain frequency - nothing else!
It does NOT determine the way how the transferred information is being interpreted. Lets say when you connect your monitor to the vga connector it is already clear what signals are transferred and how they are read out to compose the picture on the screen.
In other cases (e.g. tracking the mouse movements) we must specify before any exchange of data how is will be interpreted. This is done in so called protocols also known as 'profiles' when you speak of protocols in connection with bluetooth devices.
This means that a bt mouse will be detected (this is standardized) but your device will not know how to interpret the data which is being sent from your mouse unless it supports the matching profile (should be 'HID' - Human Interface Device protocol in this case).
The hardware support of the bt hardware itself plus the additional profiles is called a 'stack'. On Magician you will find the original Microsoft BT stack which lacks of many profiles. It has turned out that other stacks like the one from Toshiba or Widcomm also work (more or less) on Magician. Maybe these ones support your hardware. Let me advise you that there are still many issues with alien stacks so dont install these unless your absolutely sure what youre doing!
Hope that i could make things a little bit clearer for you.
regards,
Quappo
Great!
Could we pin this post within the board so it stays on top or - maybe the better solution - could we publish it in the wiki? I guess that's the best newbie explanation of bluetooth I ever read... 8)
Great post, quapo! 8)
Still no HID driver for PPC
Great Answer!!!! ;-)
OK, i knew all that.
still no answer...:-(
Hi
I'll explain what the situation is: I recently altered my carstereo system. I now have a carstereo that has my MDA Vario hooked up to it. Now I play mp3's and video's on my Vario and the sound goes through my sound system. (I'll post some pictures and a full spec soon). And while playing with it I had a great idea.
It should be possible to use my Orange C500 as a bluetooth romote control for my vario.
I know that there are bluetooth input devices around like keyboards and gamepads. so it should be possible to make an application that turns a HTC Typhoon in to a input device. Plus there are applications that use your bluetooth connection to vontrol your PC. so it should be possible.
Could someboddy PLEAAAASEEE help me with this?? I think I won't be the only one who could use this app.
Like I've said before. If I could program I'd gladly do it myself but I can't
so PPPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE someone help??

I got most stuff working, except the stupid BT headset! (which is stopping me from trying VoIP functions....) The stowaway folding keyboard is in particualr a star accessory - works great and is actually faster than my normal aux laptop keyboard! As for "messengering" while walking in the dark across a field - both the built in and the virtual keyboard (the regular, not an accessory, were both very useful, although I think the virtual one was actually a little faster...
GPS receiver was the first device to be recognized - but I still haven't chosen any GPS software to make use of it - might try the "I" one or tom-tom...not sure yet
Aside from fighting with the BT headset, which is also putting up a fight on the laptop and so may have a problem in of itself... my next project is a decent chat client. Several recommended wmirc, especially the 2.0 version, and I want to get it. But aside from paying for it, which is cool - I sent the guy with mIRC a donation since I use that one a lot - wmirc wants you to choose versions - "smartphone" or "pocket pc", with no further description as to what qualifies as what. I sent them an email but have heard nothing - so what's the opinion? Should I get the "smartphone" version or the "pocket PC" one? I've heard both terms used to describe the better PDA's like the Wizard during my 2 weeks of research that led to me choosing the MDA....
the pocket pc version
It's possible to use the hardware keyboard of xperia as a bluetooth keyboard (i.e for ps3)?
Like as bt mouse on diamond.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm sure it's possible - it's all pretty standard these days. Of course you would need the right dlls, but then again, the bluetooth fold up keyboard from stowaway (I still have one) didn't need dlls @ all - PNP it was!
Have you tried connecting a HW keyboard?
(p.s. think there was some discussion in Rapheal/Kaiser on this btw)
Have any1 tried it with a PS3?
Would love to have this too! Paid an arm and a leg for the phone, would be glad if it can help me not buy another computer hardware around the house!
I search a lot, but don't find anything.
It should use HID protocol for work, but it doesn't seems exist anything...
However as default don't work with ps3 or pc.
Would be nice I would certainly use it cause I need this actually on my ps3
