Samsung needs to fix our tv out issue so we can utilize this to its full potential.

Not if they enable our tv-out feature. We could stream it directly from the phone through the AUX port.
Also, I'm sure there's a way to stream your phones screen to the computer through the use of an application on the phone and on the pc. Could be wrong, but it seems remotely likely..

You can rent from other places online for your PC like Amazon.

Yeah, I'm not sure why would want to do that... the Android movies are $1 more expensive on average, and probably would be lower quality. Go on Amazon or something.

ok I have netflix, and I have amazon along with a few others , and yes I can rent a movie from those places.
My main thing is , i would not want to rent a $4 movie on my phone only to be able to watch on my phone and thats it, I could care less what other services there are. I was just curious if there was a way to stream to our pc once we rented it.

Does Kies Air have this functionality?

Being able to stream it to another viewing device or not Google movies gets a big YOU SUCK for blocking viewing on rooted phones.

Has anyone watched a movie from the marketplace yet? Maybe it is possible to use the dlna feature. I have my pc connected to my tv and my phone Wireless networked to my pc. Not sure if it would work for rentals.

No...the real question is why would you spend $4 to stream a movie? We are just trying to save you $$.

not trying to be rude , but I dont remember asking you to save me money lol.
I do however think that it should be possible to stream the movie from my phone to a pc.
I think would be kind of nifty you rent a movie on your phone , you watch it , go over a friends house and say hey I got a movie want to watch it?, and be able to stream it to their pc or something.

I understand the premise but I think that is what Google is trying to prevent because once on a PC it can be recorded easily. There are too many apps for computers to do this. This is also supposedly why the root block is there (not much of a lock though).
All's Google needs is a lawsuit from a movie company stating they are the reason it was bootlegged (too many lawyers in this world).

I'm sure at some point you will be able to access the rented google movie from your google account on your pc. And I am betting you will be able to with a google enabled tv as well. I'm not sure if it works that way now but it might in the future.

[Q] Airplay pandora?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I can't find a straight answer.
I'm a huge apple person (i know it's like a nazi asking a black man for directions) but I got it for more like a home entertainment device, I love android, but I still need my iPhone as my actual phone but I love having the nexus 7 around. I have an AppleTV hooked up to my receiver in my family room but I can't figure out if or how to stream Pandora (or anything) to the AppleTV. I've read it can be done but I haven't seen how!

You can try an app called twonky beam. I don't know Pandora, but twonky works as a standalone product or on other apps that use the share feature of android.

[Q] Nexus 7 as win7 monitor?

Is there anyway to make the Nexus 7 work like a monitor on my win7 64bit computer? I have searched the Web for this for quite a time but haven't seen anything yet. I would like to use it as a kind of "media controller" so I can have Spotify (desktop version) or winamp there to change music while playing games at the computer.
The reason why I want it with the computer and not as a separate device connected to my speakers is I want sound from my computer as well.
I hope you understand what I mean//Alvin

There are plenty remotes for that in play store.... i have one for vlc and one for spotify on my tab but its sent for repairs and i dont remember the names of them

Well that would work too. Do anyone have any favourites? The problem with Spotify is that I don't have premium so I can't use the official "stuff"

My best tip is to try a few either til you find one that fits you or you get tip..... search and look at the pics in play store.... read the reviews..

Air display is an app that you can use to extend your desktop onto your tablet, as if you had two monitors, works good for me.

Can you use the touch in any of these?

Splashtop Remote or Unified Remote should work.

yes Splashtop HD(displays pc screen on tab),unified remote(just to control mouse,keyboard,apps) are best one.
Also you can use teamviewer,gpp remote.

Testing iDisplay, if that doesn't do it for me I will test the rest of your advices.
Sorry if my English is messed up. Not native language.

Don't try that.splashtop is better than that.
I have tried idisplay couple of times but don't know why my laptop hangs every time

iDisplay works well for me atleast. Really laggy though, But that's something to expect?

Try PocketCloud. I use it for server admin quite a lot.

IR Blaster + Xbox 360!

Hey there guys,
Just a quick one in case anyone doesn't know, but when setting up a remote on the TV app, on cable box, if you scroll down to Microsoft and use that option, it allows you to use your TV remote to control your Xbox!

Very cool!! Thanks for the heads up

Nice one, very good info. . . .

That's cool. Is it better than Smartglass?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

Smart glass connects through WiFi and has deep integration in the Xbox. This simply allows you to power on/off your Xbox, navigate around and select stuff in Netflix etc. Perfect for me as I have an Xbox and tv in the bedroom which is mainly used for dvds and Netflix.
smartglass is different and has many more features, but having one remote to turn your tv and Xbox on is amazing.

Works a treat thanks don't even need to leave the šofa to turn on the Xbox now lolz

HTC must publish a website for IR so we can find updates and contributions for many devices like xbox360,DSLR,TVs...

I guess it works for Media Center receiver too?

I'll make a quick video showing you what I did if you like? Might just be in the wrong place?
For me its really useful because my xbox in the bedroom doesn't have a wireless controller and the tv remote is a bit knackered.
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pJcYKzO0Pk

Thanks dude. Was wondering if this was possible. Sadly I did buy a remote for my xbox last month! But now I've got my HTC One, don't need to leave the sofa now! (if the remote is out of reach!)

I do not see Microsoft on my list

It's not in the TV list. Once you finish setting up the TV it'll take u into the Cable box list which is where Microsoft is listed

Fantastic, great tip! Hate wasting my controller's battery just for watching TV, and after a long programme having to connect the controller again before I can do anything. Thanks!

Uses for the IR blaster on the HTC m8

Hi there people
I have my HTC m8 a few days now and I am absolutely happy with it so I was playing around with it and noticed that you can create custom IR commands with the tv app
So I went on and grabbed my RC helicopter and its IR remote and started configuring it and boom!
It went flawless I could control the helicopter with my phone!
So I was wondering does anybody have anything else that can be done with the IR blaster?
Post down below I'd like to hear

I did that with my M7 last year. The bar went nuts! I've noticed now many bars have put black tape over the IR receiver to stop my fun!

I have mine setup to contol the lighting on my PC, and to turn on/off a relay to power my chromecast (I use a PC monitor so no ir on it). It's also nice to just not have to find a remote for the TVs around my house since I rarely touch them.

The first way you can just do the unknown device and program it yourself, but that sucked for layout so i got a free appletv ir app off google play. Much easier and same setup as an apple tv remote.

I use Smart IR Remote application. It's gives you tons of options for setting up different types of remotes. There other DSLR only apps out there too.

Can we push the envelope of this thread a little further?
1. Which are the best Play Store apps for IR apps, it seems the two would be: IR Blaster, and Smart IR Remote? Comments anyone?
2. Has anyone applied any super geek/scientific inquiry research to the output in these IR units? What amount of lumens/rads/calories does our unit put out....vs the S5,S4, M7 etc units output?
I ask because the HTC TV app doesn't work the way I want it for my Home Theater components, and I can't seem to use it to drive my A/C units.

Well I can tell you that the smart IR Remote is very pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Don't have that many obscure devices, but everything I have thrown at it (Tv's, home cinema, the usual stuff) have all worked flawlessly.
The library has got me covered thus far.

I also use Smart ir remote. It can be a littly quirky to set up, but it has by far the best interface.
It is also super configurable. I have it set up for every device in my home. In fact it actually enabled me to access the service menu on my LG TV and enable movie playback from USB. I tried loads of others, but this is the most polished and complete.
