Music Control with Screen Locked

Is there any way to remove the music controls from the screen lock? I would like to use my MTS while working out or mowing the lawn (keeping it in an arm band holder) but I end up pausing the music or changing songs if the power button gets hit.
Apparently the MTS is one of the only phones to offer this feature. I guess I'm from the old school but when I lock my phone I don't want to be able to do anything to it but unlock it (or answer it if it rings). Any ideas?

try another music pgrom from the market

I believe it can be downloaded via android market

Such a simple solution. And here I thought I might have to do something complicated like rework the slide-unlock screen. I'm a mongo.
Thanks for the replies.

Doubletwist and NWSPlayer, both work well as replacements for the built in media player.

Toggle TV Out

Here is a quick easy way to get to the TV Out toggle settings page.
I'm using LauncherPro to do this, but AnyCut or any programs like that should work too...
Long press on homescreen
Select Sortcuts
Select Activities
Expand Settings
Select TV out settings
Now you have a shortcut on your homescreen that takes you directly to the TV out settings page.
Obviously I would prefer a widget or something to accomplish this, but you have to work with what you got...

Nice one, props to you

Ive been using this exact same solution since I got the phone.
I agree it would be nice to have a toggle widget, but this really is the next best thing.

Awesome trick... thanks!

Is using tv out better than using allshare? quality wise i mean. I know there's an option to enable 5.1 but i wonder if it gets enabled when using allshare or not. haven't tried it yet though. any one know?

what are you guys "tv-out"ing with? what kind of wire? and what is the resolution that you get?

Cable only $3.50 and that includes shipping...

I don't know what the output resolution is.
As it's composite out, I assume the vertical resolution is limited to 525i(NTSC) or 576i(PAL).
When the phone orientation is landscape, the phone only really supports 480i as the screen resolution is only 800x480.

You can use TV out with allshare...
Basically stream your videos over the air, and play them on your TV.
Just what the doctor ordered

control iconia from another android device?

archos has a remote app that lets you use your phone as a remote for the archos gen 8 series.

+1 This would be very useful, mainly for when connected via HDMI to a TV or playing music in a different room, then just use phone as a remote.
Point of interest, the game Crazy Snowboard from the market has an option where you can play on your tablet while controlling your snowboarder from an Android phone via wifi. Figured I'd mention it since this is along the same line as what we're looking for.

No way to control Iconia from an Android device ???

Digging up an old thread here. I use TeamViewer to access my other PC's from Android devices, but am looking for something where I could access the tablet from my PC. Is anyone aware of an app to remote access the Androids?

B to the izzump!

Havent tried it but this: market.android.com/details?id=com.iandrobot.andromouse.lite
or this: market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid
would probally work. Basically they just turn your phone into a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Theres many other apps like this, those are just two that i picked.

Im sure there are vnc servers apps out there for android. you could install a vnc client on your phone then remote in to the tablet with the vnc server running. That would be one way of doing it. That's not very elegant but would work.

Not likely what I'm looking for as I would not be near the tablet, and even if I were, it's not likely I would use this rather than just picking up the tablet.

I thought of this, and would work maybe 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time is if my tablet happens to be somewhere other than my house as it would then be on a different network and the client would not have a way to get to it, unless there are VNC servers that have a web service that broadcasts the tablets current location, similar to dyn-dns.

I was replying to a different post not yours, hence the quote i inserted before my reply

Hi,
I've found an app to control an android device from another android device. You have to install the app "DroidMote Client" on the device from which you want to control and install "DroidMote Server" on the device which you want to control. I'm using this on my HTC Desire to control my Transformer while it is connected to my TV. It works really good with this devices
Look at YouTube

Bluepurdroid is free on the market and works over bluetooth. You can choose to use a mousepointer to navigate your iconia, keyboard also works. You can also use a sixaxis controller. Haven't tried this on my A500 but works great on my ps3. The mouse and keyboard works just fine, like using a bluetoothkeyboard.
Great app for controlling the a500 while using it with a HDTV.

Something like teamviewer or vpn server?

hm while using team viewer to connect to pc in the popup window on pc there is a no. which is used to cennect to the device. Did someone tried to use this no. to connect back to the team viewer on the tablet?

i've been using DroidMote between my Iconia and my Fascinate for months running netflix and google music on my tv. definitely don't regret not getting a google tv device! ha. it runs great and yes you can use a wireless (usb) keyboard and mouse but most of us also own an android phone and they're much more convenient and one handed. just thought i'd put my two cents out there for anyone stumbling across this thread. totally worth the money, replaced my wii for HD netflix streaming!

webcam

Is it possible to use nexus 7 as a webcam online ? Websites don't seem to see the camera or mic ? Is there a hack or app that will fix this ?

I would love to see this!

Go to the Play Store and get IP Webcam. This will stream video for you.

I want to use tablet as a webcam not stream video , that app dose nothing like that . Thanks tho

Not sure what you really want
You asked for an app that will allow the use of the Nexus 7 as a webcam on the Internet. If you are not streaming video, how are you going to use it?
With the app mentioned, it makes the output of the front facing camera available for access on your LAN or via the Internet assuming you setup your router properly. And webcam reading software works fine with it.
The camera is poor for that type of use for two reasons. 1) it is facing forward not out the back, and 2) it is not a very high resolution camera. Unless you were placing this somewhere in a fixed position, it is very hard to control as it ends up with an upside down image and is hard to point.
You can see it using webcam capture programs like tinyCam monitor from another device. It doesn't provide audio output.
If that is not what you are asking for, you need to provide a better description.

You need a chat app on your device then... not a webcam app.
I don't use MSN anything so I am not familiar with it or what that service provides, but something like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=miyowa.android.microsoft.wlm
might be a start.

Trying to get Chat Roulette going, eh? Just kidding. I don't think websites will work and you probably need an app.

I've visited a website that uses HTML5 instead Flash or Silverlight for their video on my GNote, and it worked with the built-in cameras. I don't recall the name of the website, but it was a chatroulette-like tech demo for HTML5. Once people start switching away from Flash we'll start seeing this more. It's pretty rare at the moment.

So, no luck for chatroullet users on nexus 7 ? That's a downer ...
If anyone come up with a solution for the chatroullet fans, I would apreciate the reply.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Theres another app called droidcam wireless webcam. You download a desktop program to go along with the app. It works through wifi or usb, I used it through usb about a year and a half ago. From there, i ran it through manycam, which is a virtual webcam program, by selecting it as the video feed. At that point, it should work with any program and internet website...such as chatroullet . You should just select manycam as your default camera and it should work. I used it with skype though, so i cant verify if it works or not..but in theory it should.
Again, i keep saying should, because it might not work right away. It definitely took a bit of play with the settings (and lots of unplugging and replugging) before i got it to be functional. I'll be able to test it tomorrow night if you didnt get it up and runing, as i am currently on vacation.
cheers

EDIT: sorry, i misread this post. I cant help you with that one, but if you wanted to use it as an external computer webcam...see above .

Using IP Webcam, this is easy to do...
Download the latest Manycam program. In sources, select your ip webcam,( http://192.168.1.129:8080/videofeed )(example)
In your chat program select Manycam as the source.
That's going through windows, as far as using the nexus 7 by
Itself, its not possible.

Quick remote.

I am unable to add a remote via the regular setup, and when I try a manual setup I get a forceclose. Anyone successfully get their app working?

Man, my manufacture list is just blank when I click on it.

I believe I figured it out. I disabled the apk Quickset SDK. The list came back once it was enabled. I shall confirm later when I get home from work.

I've got the same problem. Could you please tell me how to enable Quickset SDK? Thanks.

I was able to setup my cable box from Cox, but I was unable to program my sound bar or my tv.

works on my LG, Vizio, Sanyo and VZ cable box.. easily.
Thing is to be close to the tv sensor when first setting up. then you can use the remote as far as possible.

Go to Setting/Apps/ALL
find quickset SDK and enable it

Anyone know of a solid universal remote app that would also include a program guide? Quick remote is good and all, but I'm disappointed in the quick remote app not including a program guide on LG, like HTC and Samsung did for their apps. Keep in mind, I don't own a smart tv, so Wi-Fi remote is out of the question, for now.
