Remote Control - Xoom General

Hi,
Firstly I'd like to say hello to all as I am a new to the Motorola Xoom.
My question is that I have a htc desire mobile and wish to control my Xoom device with it while the xoom is connected to the tv.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Your help would be much appreciated.

I have not come across anything to do this yet but I was considering writing something based on the Bluetooth chat code in the API to do this. Its not a priority at the moment because I have several other projects on the go :S
I may look deeper into it once my xoom arrives, I think it will be useful. Need to see if I can hook some global media controls somehow.

There is a VNC server in the market place for Android, but it currently does not work on the Xoom. I am waiting for an update to it for the same reason.

Thanks for the info, hopefully something gets released soon as im sure linking the android mobile device to android tablets would be used widely.

Different Android Markets

Question:
Why do I see apps like SiriusXM and Sonos in the Market from my phone, but not the Market from my XOOM. I must be missing something really basic. Is there a process to move apps from an android phone device to an android Tablet device.
Please educate me!

It has to do with the devices Finger Print. Certain apps are designed for specific phones/devices and the developers can limit what devices can get it.
Gotta love it. Thx!

Anyone with the Touchpad here?

I'm one of the lucky ones who scored a Touchpad last weekend. That is a great machine.
I am trying to use wifi tether from my epic 4g to the touchpad but the touchpad does not see the connection. (my ipod touch and PC see it). Anyone knows what's the problem? I heard it might something to do with some ad hoc stuff...
Use the wifi tether that says "with more infrastructure" its somewhere in the epic forums

Yes use that version of wifi tether. I had mine running last night from my EVO 3d. I just chose epic 4g under settings and for the device profile. Seemed to work fine. Touchpad is nice, I am just itching to put some version of Android on it. Even with a media player app that says it supports avi and other files, I can't seem to get videos other than mp4 format to play on it.

Google touchplayer, or get it from preware if you have it installed on your touchpad...HP touchpad forum here on xda has info on performance tweaks and stable overclocking as well, lots of good stuff done through preware app

I have the preware and some of the tweaks. I also downloaded touchplayer and tried to play avi movie on it and it was all distorted and the formatting was all messed up. Like it was playing in three separate boxes at the same time. Nothing I tried worked.

Opps I replied in the wrong thread lol. Well I am hoping HP has some touchpads soon. Would love to put Android on it but I am sure it will look kind of weird in a 4x3 screen.
I am also one of the lucky ones who scored a 32GB touchpad on the firesale. What I would really like to see is the SMS/call integration with the touchpad. Anyone know what kinds of protocols the pre3 and touchpad use for SMS/call integration? I am guessing that it can all be done through bluetooth? I have done ROM and theming stuff, and have mild experience with C++, but this kind of project is a bit out of my league.
Well, the CM7 team has made a lot of progress getting it onto the TouchPad already. Here's a video from android police showing it booting into CM7. It's super quick too!
Lots of quirks to work through still. The guy said that the touchscreen input isn't working yet.
Ohhh mannnnn
I got one. Haven't even messed with preware but its def slow. Webos has 0 apps lol

I was teathered to my epic and activating my webOS account on morning of firesale while still in parking lot of Wal-Mart. And browsing while on way to 2nd and 3rd store pickups.
no issues at all.
running acs latest release with emotionless beast on top.
removed 10 and 1/2 char
Dad called from Wal-Mart out in the boonies. "Hey, they just got a box of these touch pad thingies here, they weren't expecting them... Ever hear of them? You want me to grab one for ya?"
Score.
Missed the boat...

Got a 32GB from Best Buy, and let me just say that Android cannot come soon enough. Holy hell I can see why this thing failed horrendously. Not gonna go into a full review, but damn. Love WebOS though.
As for those still looking, HP is supposed to have more coming in sometime this week. Apparently there will be a limit of 1 per customer so they shouldn't sell out instantly like last time, but if you aren't on the page within an hour or two of it going live they will probably be gone.

Thrive and wireless tether

Running a rooted droid charge. Can't get the thrive to recognize my hotspot! Wtf? Shows up on everything else (i.e. Laptop, buddies, iphone, etc). Is this a limitation of the thrive and is there a workaround? Bought a tablet specifically for this option....
Thx....i apologize if this had been covered before. I googles it and can't find anything definitive.

If the hotspot app you are using only supports adhoc, then that is what your problem is. HC 3.x does not support adhoc networks. It does support infrastructure. You can root the Thrive and add adhoc support.
Bumber. There is no work around via the phone? I was hoping to not have to root the tablet.

Some people have been able to get bluetooth tethering to work.
Got it! Sweet! Played around with the settings in wifi tether. Changed device to samsung fascinate and then mode to samsung soft or whatever and it works perfect! Now I'm sold on the device!

Great to hear. Enjoy the device.

Vizio smart tv....hackable?

I have been searching the web over to find anybody who has even attempted to mod e3d420vx vizio yahoo connect tv. Yahoos site only gives access via their app platform, no direct access. Im attempting to use it for something completely unrelated to tv watching and need to load some software, but nothing is popping up in google. Any help would be amazing. Thx

I think you barely could do it.
Possibly it will be high risk if you attempt to do it.
Barely?...
Has anybody else come across any info on this? I have access to wholesale units and I'm attempting a project that I need to load some simple software. Tearing it down is no issue.
If no one has, guess I'll attempt to figure it out. Thanks ahead of time.

Nexus 10: Control remotely over the internet?

Hello,
I got a Nexus 10 for my mom after her PC broke down. Since we are seperated by many kilometers and she has trouble to follow instruction how to fix / to do stuff on the phone I want some visual and input control.
Actually I need an app that allows me to control her tablet from long distance. I check Teamviewer Quicksupport but there you can only do screenshots, there is no full life control for the nexus 10 in Teamviewer as far as I have understood. Can anyone please recommend something? I wanted to ship the tablet on monday, so fast help is appreciated in advance.
btw. I dont care if I control the tablet from my windows pc or my nexus 4 android phone. I just need a solution. :/
Hmm, I can't seem to find an app for that either. Rare occasion I guess. What you could do is program Tasker to do a service like that for you... you'll need her tablet to be rooted. You'll need root no matter the solution.
If you don't know about Tasker it's a really nice app for developers/techy people to automate/add tweaks/features on your phone. This will be a really advanced implementation though. It's surely possible and it'd be easier for me to develop it for you than to explain it. You'll need your own web domain though. I mean one that you have for yourself, where you could place a php script.
Hopefully that helps or gives some insight at least, if you need my help I could develop that setup for you. You'll need to root her tablet yourself tho.

Say thanks if I was of help,

So there exists really no solution for that issue?
Have not tried it on a nexus 10 but I can fully remote control my note 3 using Teamviewer.

Root her Nexus and install a VNC server app. VNC Server by onecent in the Play Store worked for me (sorry can't link, too new). Then just use a client on either your phone or computer to connect. You will probably need to set up port forwarding on her router to connect remotely. Hopefully you're not too far since you'll likely have to visit her to get that and rooting done. Good luck.
