is it possible to make a app for g1 that allows you to use it as a universal remote for your tv?
The G1 doesnt have IR.
I think you would need ir for it to work
ah yea...iight
It doesn't have rf eathier does it?

nope, would need one of the two
unless you have your tv hooked to your comp via a network and you play movies from comp to tv and your comp can recive wireless controls from your G1 but that's too much work for me. the HTC 8525 could do it though(but it's an old phone)
remote droid
For controlling your tv there isn't a way without rf or ir, unless someone comes out with some crazy adapter. As for computer control try RemoteDroid. It has come in handy for my lazy ass more than once. I use it to control hulu on my tv through the computer

I have tried a couple, but one does not support the processor type and the other just hangs my MDA.
Anyone know of any decent remote control apps to control TV's etc?
I have tried 2... one from Vito and one called TV Remote Controller 5.7. I have been unable to get either to work and no support at all from either on my support requests.
I probably try like 4-5 programs but non work.
You'll be struggling anyway. IR on the wizard is a short range type so unless you want get off the couch to go shove the PDA a foot away from the TV you'll be disappointed.
I do not care about distance of remote as i desperatly need something that will allow me to access the service modes of my 55" television. A quick in and out and not for normal use.
I just need software that works for Philips Service modes. And that is a special order remote if i cant get this software going.
It's getting off topic but why don't you just buy a universal remote - they come with the codes for the various manufacturers.
JoninLA, i agree with you
the only time i ever used a sftware remote...was at school....used to rewind the tapes and turn tv on and off
otherwise its not for everyday use
and i also heard the wizard IR device cant supprt the signal..
The Wizard's OMAP processor is giving everyone fits. There are no remote control apps that work on the Wizard yet. Novii looks to be closest; they just signed a developer agreement with TI. Read more about this here.

So does NoviiRemote Deluxe - more than 700 codes are available. I finally found a codebase for my TV that is 17 years old
Has anyone been able to get the wing to work as a remote control? There are a few programs out.
I know one of the programs is called VITO Remote.
Is it possible?
The Wing does not have infrared, so therefore the Wing cannot be used as a typical TV remote.
I have tried Pocket PCs that have infrared. However the experience was not great because Pocket PCs typically have infrared that was meant for high speed data transfer, not physical distance. So a person had to literally be within 10 feet of the TV in order to control it.
I gave this thought too, but the wing does not have the IR port.
Now if you're talking about a wifi type of Tivo or DVR or some device, then poooossibly.
Although, for me, I watch most movies off the laptop via s video, I also have LogMeIn setup, and my computer has an onscreen remote, I can log into that and press the remote from my wing and it'll respond on my pc and the TV infront of me. But thats kind of pointless since I have a Media Center Laptop with a built in remote, AND a seperate remote that controls everything else and the pc.
bah,
I just wanted to anger one of my professors a bit by turning the TV on/off.
Thanks anyways
hahaha now that you mention that.. i know some kid in my literacy class that shut the projector off every 10 mins until the prof just cut the class short becuase he couldnt present anything X-) that was a classic
not really a "TV" remote but a pc remote using bluetooth I use is here

It links up with most applications really well.

Hey folks so I am trying to do something that I am not entirely sure I can do. I will try my best to explain it clearly and I hope one of you may be able to direct me in the right direction as I am having little luck on google.
Basically I have IPTV through my phone company. I have the option for a second box and am looking for a way to stream that feed through my computer. From my computer I would like encode the feed into a mobile feesable compression and feed it to my phone through.
Is anyone aware of anything like this that will work or something capable of doing this??
If someone even knows of a service provider that works directly with TV feeds over the internet for mobile I would be even happy with something like that. But of course ideally it would be better to be able to use my own services that I already pay for.
On a last note. My cell phone provider DOES offer tv for mobile but NOT for pdas. LOL and the TV service itself is lousy.
I think the solution is on this web-site orb.com
I'm using it successfuly all the time.
Thanks I am gonna check out that software whenI get home.
On further research while here at work. I came across the Slingbox media option. I was curious if anyone has tried this for there home system yet? The website states that it can be connected to your satellite or digital cable boxes but I have to admit I am confused with the interaction of the two. Mainly the remote control portion.
If you have a Sling box which is acting like a "tv" but actually defering that signal to a remote location like a laptop or phone how does this box change the channel if it's just receiving signal? Does the slingbox itself act like a uber remote control and has to be placed directly infront of the digital box to act like a remote to relay the information back to the remote device?
I apologize if this seems on the border of being off topic but the goal is to stream live TV to my PDA which I suspect one of you techy people may have tryed such a solution!
I have used the Slingbox mobile player extensively with my Mogul over the Sprint EVDO network...I LOVE IT!!! Occasionally it's a memory hog and I may have to reset the phone...but all in all the Slingbox will do what you are asking about.
I have loaded and been running orb now for the past week and have to admit I am extremely happy with this application. It is fantastic so far and the intereface is great and easy to use!!
However after continuing research I will definetly be investing into a sling box as I have a second digital box collecting dust and would love to be able to channel surf lol!! Will just have to run both I suppose. Orb for movies and audio and Slingbox for tv surfing!!
Thank you for your input everyone!

The Sling hardware has an IR transmitter dongle, (or two), that you point at the decoder boxes IR reciever. The Sling client app, (both mobile and PC), have a software controller counterpart that can even actually looks like the remote control, (PC version). All IR functions work great from the mobile and the PC clients!
I love the slingbox and use it fine on my titan, although have had issues on other HTC Smartphones. It basically captures any video signal and sends it over the internet for remote viewing. whbell is right, it has a IR blaster that you put on the front of the device you want to control remotely and it sends your remote control codes to the box. You don't need a seperate set top box as long as the people at home are ok with watching whatever you are watching. I have mine hooked up to my pvr and can pull up all my recorded movies, or more importantly, setup a recording remotely if I forgot to do it at home.
Definitely a must have.

ORB is great for TV, just install a TV tuner / capture card in your PC. Sling box is okay for people without PC's, but if you already have one setup with ORB, there is no need for Sling box.
BTW, if you use Windows Media Center,you could also check out WebGuide.
Guys, just want to know if the 'Wireless Display' is a good feature for most us. Will you push your phone screen to the TV?
(Assume you already have a Miracast dongle)

I guess your LG TV will work with phone which has LG logo on it.
I won't use it, not because I don't like it but because I don't have a need for it.
I don't think I'll use it. Maybe to try it, but not more.

I have tried to share my son's video in the family TV, so his grandfather can watch more clearly, he is a aged man, bad sight.
Yes
Yes I would use miracast.
I'm currently using Airplay protocols to stream some content via my Nexus4 to a Raspberry Pi running XBMC - with display on my TV. This works quite well using PushTo and iMedia apps. But not all media sources can be pushed - it depends on primary app that accesses the media.
I also use a satellite box too that runs Enigma2 (based off Linux) and then use DreamDroid in conjuction with semperVidLinks to push content (mainly Youtube with this route) to the TV.
One thing is it's all changing very fast and I guess more content will be available for streaming as developers pile in.
Is it possible to use an Xbox one controller on android, I have seen conflicting statements, and if not just staight up, is there any way to get it working. Thank you guys. I do know this is probably a question thats extremely stupid to alot of you and it means alot for this help. Thanks
That depends entirely on how you intend to connect it......
If you intend to use a 'wired' controller via the USB socket on the phone then yes it is possible....though you will need an app of some sort to 'map' the buttons correctly.
If you intend to connect wirelessly, then you're out of luck.....had it been a PS3 or PS4 controller, it would have been a different story.
The xbox controller transmits via RF signals whereas the Sony equivalent transmits via bluetooth.
We can pair bluetooth devices to the phone without issue....but that's not the case for RF devices.
The only reason I know this is because I went through something similar in order to use ePSXe to play PS1 games on my S5 ....In the end I had to get a Moga bluetooth controller to do the job......
Edit.....My bad.....I was commenting about xbox 360 controllers.....just noticed you have an xbox one controller......which connects via wi fi (I believe). That has possibilities.....have you tried connecting it by wi fi direct? If it does connect that way, you'll still need some method of mapping the buttons. It may be the case that someone needs to develop an app that makes the devices communicate with each other too....afraid I haven't looked into that though....never needed it....
Sorry fella...
Edit 2.....just done a bit of research, it turns out there is no 'native' support in Android for wireless controllers, you (apparently) need an interface app and/or a rooted device that you can add/change code on....

In that case, yes it's possible. Here are a couple of youtube videos showing how it's done.........

Though on one of them, it says that it probably won't work with the S5 stock firmware (some c**p to do with knox or something).....

Have you thought about the alternatives available?
As I said earlier, I use this setup....

.....and it works very well...no wires either.
All you have to do is to install the Moga Pivot app, turn bluetooth on and sync the devices....

now you can pair the Xbox one S controller (design lab included)with Bluetooth
BUT you need to update firmware first and add a profile to it with the Xbox accessories app (Xbox one or win10 store)

I understand updating the firmware...but why do we need to add a profile to it?
You need a Keyboard Layout File or the button mapping will be off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...-one-slim-controller-bluetooth-t3398014/page2

it add it automatically after the update,it inter the controller owner by itself.
has anyone made any forward progress on this idea? I'm thinking about swapping my elite controller for an Xbox One S controller because I would find connecting to my phone much more useful than the elite features I seldom use.

yea Microsoft made the xbox one S controller fully android compatible by firmware upgrade ( you need a cable and a app on pc or xbox one.)
and this controller is bluetooth compatible.making most xbox one original controller (and elite) obsolete.
Anyone have any info on getting the second edition of the Xbox One controller with built-in bluetooth to work on Android?
bump just finished doing the firmware update on my gamepad, reset it and my phone, still thinks my triggers are my right stick. nothing in the xbox accessories app to switch axis around. sigh.
