Is it possible to use my Cingular 8125 as a Nintendo Wii remote? I was wondering if there was a software of some sort that would allow this. Thanks ahead of time.
You've got to be joking right
After all the news about people breaking TVs/remotes because the remote slipped out of their sweaty hands... and you want to do that with a £££$$$s device?
Anyway, I'm no expert, but the wiz does not have any motion sensing hardware - so no it can't
Endangering your device aside, the 8125 cannot be used as a Wiimote because it lacks accelerometers. This is what allows the Wiimote to be used as a motion device.
Nice try.
k, thnx....as for the "endagering my device" thing...i put one of my extra wii strap on the bottom of my 8125
My Apache ppc 6700 detect wiimote in bluetooth, but no sinc and dont work! Maybe need some drive... I look for this.
Anybody help?
Thankyou

I thought i saw something like that on this great forum once, but i can't find it now so if somebody could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it.
What brings about this question? well i saw this video http://digital.xy.hk/news/?postid=729 where a dude uses his iphone as a touchpad for his shift, and i thought it was really cool and wanted to do this myself.
ps if an iphone can do it, then my titan should be able to do it correct?
I have had a good experience with
PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite
It has a ton of other stuff like remote desktop, but one of its 'modules' is a touchpad mouse control for your computer.
I don't think it uses bluetooth, but I haven't had any problems at all getting it working over the wifi connection.
It says WM6 isn't supported yet, but I used it with a custom cooked no2chem 5060 WM6.1 rom and it worked fine for me.
If you hear of a simpler solution let me know, I'd love to have something that JUST works as a touchpad without all the other junk I won't use.
thanks
Thank you, i will def try this out soonish (two organic chem midterms this week so no phone playing time only library time)
The Touch Diamond dosn't have any enough buttons to make it a good game phone (emulators etc). But wouldn't it be posible to sync the wiimote with the phone? Syncing it with a PC is easy.
Just an idea. Would be a cool app that isn't entirely useless ^^
How would you sync it? With what hardware?
The Wiimote uses bluetooth. I think the guy that did the software for the pc made it open source, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult for someone that knows what they're doing.
In theory it's just to make a program that syncs the wiimote to the phone via bluetooth and then let you map different input to different buttons.
Oh, didn't know it used Bluetooth. That's pretty cool. Would it just be for buttons or some sort of cursor control?
Just for button presses.
You could connect a classic controller or to get a snes emulator playable with all buttons mapped.
Symian version is out already...
I got this working on my N95 8gb already and it is good. The N95 has TV out too and a decent graphic chip.....runs quake GL on my tv with Wii remote as controls very well.
I would LOVE this for my ameo!
Not sure if this is portable to winmo in any way.....
Wiiconnect
mc.fh-hagenberg.at
even the accelerometer works.
This is a worthy project........
if supported this would prob be easier to get to work

nintendo is not really know to follow std's to the letter
and bluetooth stacks on windows mobile same thing
Hello everybody,
I saw that there was for the wm5 and some lower version that there was a remote controller tool for tv. With info that it only works on HP devices but that was a few years ago.
Does someone know if it is possible or that there is a tv remote controller application for the HD2? It will be really cool to have all those nice functions.

Wouldn't that rely on infra-red? Which a lot of modern phones no longer feature because, frankly, it's useless?
Yes- current devices have dropped I/R because no-one uses it anymore, so TV remote applications won't work.
Not that they were ever any good anyway

you are wrong, you have never know how useful it was when I had the Dell Axim, Novii Remote was one of my must have app, it was a huge disappointment most of the modern devices dropped the infra red. With such app, you can customize almost anything you want with any electronics with remote control.

maybe, but thats one application and a tiny handful of users. With the advent of bluetooth, the low-range, line-of-sight-only IR was rendered useless. Most people use it for file transfer or hands-frees now and tbh not having to have the device in line-of-sight is a godsend. Gdayhtc might be onto something with TVs switching to bluetooth. IR in home devices is pretty much a dead technology.
anybody here know to to enable HD2's infrared port for us to use it on Novii IR Remote?
Thanks.
the HD2 has no IR port.
I would love to get an ir remote program working on the hd2. there are portable ir transmitters that plug into the 3.5" audio port that with the right program can be used as remote controls for tvs/dvd players/etc. The redeye mini is a recent on i saw released for the iphone... if someone developed a program for wm that used those transmitters, I would definitely buy it.

You can get a good All-in-one-IR-Remote Control (p.ex. from Logitech) for almost the same price as a transmitter so why you want to use that? Its uncomfortable, slower in use and the haptic feedback on the flat screen of the HD2 is worse than on a real hardware remote control... Just help me understand

Because I have different devices throughout my home that I could use that for, not to mention at my moms and brothers homes, and I always have my phone with me. I don't want to have to carry a remote, also. Plus remotes have a habit of getting lost in my house. It would be convenient to be able to pull my phone out where ever Im at and control everything in my house. $50 for the redeye mini is kinda expensive, but I think I've seen cheaper ones.

If someone can/has figured this out I'll buy you a beer.
you can use a wiimote..
Actually, you can't:
forum%xda-developers%com/showpost.php?p=7388551&postcount=7 (account not allowed to post links yet)
It is unclear to me whether this is because the Captivate lacks HID profile support, or because as a BT 3.0 device there is some kind of incompatability (I have heard both).

Sorry, never gonna happen. PS3 controller maybe but the 360 controller isn't BT, it uses a proprietary wireless standard.
Why Xbox or Playstation crap is way overpriced!
If you want to use your phone as an emulator that bad you might as well just pay the $10 for a cheapo BT controller. Don't you want something a lot smaller than a bigun PS3 or x360 controller, I'd think something micro would be better suited for travel.
Plus if you're going to be inside to use this (unless your TV is outside), why not just use a PC and out it at 1080 for the real deal? Or is it more for nostalgia
Cool factor only. But it would be neat if I could use the video out to the TV at the shore house and play a game on that. No PC at my shore house:-(

But they also have wired versions that use USB. I don't have a clue about this at all, so I don't know if that's even remotely possible, just throwing one more idea out there. Not as pretty of a solution but if the USB could be sized down to micro and plugged in... Probably not, like I said, just throwing it out there. Would definitely be cool though.

Not really possible because the USB doesn't have host support. If someone could write it into the kernel it would be awesome but then there would be many driver issues to arise.
I would just opt for a mini BT gamepad, I am thinking of getting one and loading some old SNES games on my phone.
Wait... is there an actual mini BT game controller that works? I would simply buy one now. Can you point us?
The zeemote looks complicated, you would think a wireless bluetooth snes style controller without axis controls would be simple enough, although I know everyone wants the ps3 for its controls. But this would be an awesome start.
Hopefully with more buttons than the wiimote so snes games play decent.
I would just use the computer you are posting from for this kinda thing.

Some have modded these with a SNES controller. If I had any soldering skills I would try it.

Yeah, I kinda wondered about that, but like I said, I'm new to Android so I'm still learning what it can and can't do.
Still, a controller, especially wireless would be awesome to have. I have reason to believe from talking to someone involved that the Wiimote may not be totally out of the equation. Even if not on stock ROMs, custom ROMs may be able to make it work. I guess like everything else we'll just have to wait and see.
wiimote wont work with samsung phones. The developer of wiimote controller emailed me and said its because of the way samsungs added junk deals with bluetooth. Apparently they modify how bluetooth is dealt with from the stock android.
Hmmm... Interesting ideas.... I never even thought about a Bluetooth controller, that could possibly be the answer right there. Has anyone ever messed around with one? Would it be easy to set up with the captivate? Basically I just wanna be able to go over to my friends place and be like, "yo dudes, check THIS OUT!" And play old school games from my phone. More of a novelty than anything really.
illl try to set one up tomorrow and let you guys know if a reg bluetooth one will work with our 3.0. i remember hearing that it wont but i'll verify.
My understanding is that the galaxy S phones dont use the standard "BlueZ" stack. which is why it wont work.
Can anyone confirm if that bluetooth controller linked above from DealExtreme would work? So theoretically, a controller made for bluetooth 3.0 devices would work?

It def. works with Android, but a paid drivers pack from the market is required. Now whether it works with the Galaxy S due to the different Bluetooth stack is the unknown part.
I am not sure how deeply the drivers interact with the bluetooth stack, and if they only work with the stock Android stack. I am planning on buying both the controller above and a SNES controller to mod for use with my PC, and phone if it works.
I am having trouble finding a SNES controller locally but I am told that I can get one on Monday from a buddy at my work.
Just checking to see if anybody has made progress on finding a controller for the captivate/galaxy s?
This is probably one of my most wanted features... get that wiimote working somehow.
