Tv Remote software??

Has anyone found a tv remote app suitable for use on the wizard?all of which i have tried state incompatibility issues with the cpu!
so far i have tried noviremote, vito remote and one other which escapes my memory.
cheers

Same here. no luck finding one. mostlly not compatible with the Infered on the wizard.
have to wait a month or so , am asuming there should be updates compatible with wizard in starting of 2006 .

Altough I havn't tried with the wizard, a previous problem I've had when experimenting with remote software on some PDA's is that the infrared transmitters inside the devices are not designed for long distance (1 meter plus) transmission, unlike a regular remote control. This means that although it will probably work it may not be as useful as you think!

I had promixis netremote working lovely on my M500, with about 2 metres range too, but it will not have it on the xda
Might have to keep the m500 a bit longer then...

2 meters, gosh, thats a lot better than I've had on ipaq!

Used to love the remote control software that came with my ipaq, " Nevo " Would love a remote software with my wizard. Will be keeping my eyes out for something happening on this front.

www.pdawin.com offers a tv and remote control software. works quite too!

[Q] Does Samsung plan to Fix the Bluetooth?

Hello,
We all know our bluetooth 3.0 is missing something like HID ( am i correct? )
And because of that we can't connect bluetooth devices to it, like Keyboards and Game controllers... Even heard some bluetooth stereo sets won't connect to it, like BMW's embedded ones ( am I correct again? xD )
Has samsung said anything about this HUGE issue? I find it HUGE because it is the only wall i "see" between using the full potential of this device or not using it and think how it would be if i could....
Best regards

BT is not damaged, so there is no fixing
but it can be improved to include more profiles to support more devices
supposedly in 2.2 we might get additional hardware support like the BT keyboards, mouse and such

That would mean a profile which would allow us to finally connect a WiiMote ?
And in my opinion the BT is damaged, and needs fixing, it is unacceptable not being able to connect a Bluetooth headset to your 450€ Device
That is how i see things, others may not see it that way, but hey, we are free to have our own opinions right?

as it is right now
the BT is able to connect to standard mono headsets, and stereo headsets
as well as GPS satellite, and Car Stereos (i use it all the time great base/sub!)
it has profiles to transfer files via BT
from my point of view it's pretty complete, with the minor exception of the missing HID keyboard/mouse/game controllers support
the missing BT Profile is more like a missing Driver to support those last 3 devices

Just install blue input or get apps from google to install kb hid. Bt isn't missing anything in sgs. Screw wii input. How many. Normal bt devices do you know can accept wii as input without 3rd party drivers

install this app/driver
Wiimote controller
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid

I'm pretty sure that Vibrant/SGS isn't supported by that application, AllGamer.

Where is your proof? If that's the case then why did they make wii 3rd party driver? Seriously if you are going to ***** over a small thing like wii remote and kb hid (fixable if you find my bt kb fix in other postings ) then return the sgs and get a more mature phone like the google nexus one god phone. It seems everyone is whining and *****ing over nothing cosidering this phone is brand new without mature software. Every phone has bugs.

Ironically enough, your "fix" was posted on the forum for the product on dealextreme, doesn't say what phone the fix is for, and doesn't work on the SGS.
BT is missing something in the SGS - the 3rd party apps you believe would fix the issue don't work. hcitool doesn't recognise a local BT device, and so can't connect to anything, all the wiimote apps error on connection - this is not a lack of profiles, it's a lack of (or at the very least, different; different enough to cause a whole host of devices and 3rd party apps to be incompatible with the SGS) implementation one way or another.
Please, try your fixes before you go preaching "screw wii input".

My proof?
G1, Magic, Desire, Nexus , Milestone and X10 Mini Pro all have HID drivers... I tested them all.
You should know that by now, every Vanilla android device and devices with vanilla intact BT connect to wiimotes...

Hey!
How do you use your Galaxy as an MP3 player for car audio?! You said good Bass, but isn't bluetooth audio only MONO?
Thanks

I tried as well, it was stereo and worked great!

Perhaps he connected it to something with proper bluetooth compatibility, so it didn't matter that the SGS has BT3.0 as backward compatibility worked as it should?

Er, you do know that bass frequencies don't only exist in stereo signals, right?

Bluetooth Mouse compatibility list?

Hi,
So I have been looking for information on which bluetooth mice work with the samsung vibrant. I currently have an apple bluetooth keyboard working well with the vibrant, but I'd love to have a mouse as well.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
EDIT: Here is a video of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with his vibrant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21aVbYpgrRA - so how do we do it with a mouse and pointer?
EDIT:His XDA post can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8447646

Don't think this would work - there's no on-screen cursor.

Ditto. I remember Cyanogen added it as a feature not too many revisions back, so it isn't part of AOSP. Unless Samsung choose to add it... You can see where that is going.

So this is a video I saw a while back of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard AND MOUSE on his Vibrant. I'd like to do the same. How do I do it, and what mice will work? I know you two said that it can't be done, but this is proof otherwise.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21aVbYpgrRA

I suggest you contact him. He mentions using a leaked build, so it definitely isn't a mainstream feature yet.
edit .. Bluetooth HID is a standard, so all you really need to do is figure out what build he found it in and any bluetooth mouse should work.

Okay, so I found his XDA post under the i9000 section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8447646

mouse definitely works.. i use Apple's Mighty Mouse (pass: 0000) wireless without a problem... the scroll wheel works as the ones on the older HTC models...

[Q] A500 and a Garmifone

I was wondering how many have experience with the Garmifone? My G1 is dying a slow death plus I am looking for a better GPS receiver that I can connect to the A500 to use aviation navigation apps.
What are some thoughts here? Could this kill 2 birds with one stone?

I have heard from a buddy that he did not like it, but I have not had any experience with it.
NOt sure if teather GPS needs to have root acess but that will share your android phones GPS with the iconia.
if your also looking there are bluetooth GPS recievers, I have yet to use one, they do pair with android phones not sure about tablets

Thanks for the feedback Brian.
I have been looking at the Bluetooth GPS receivers made by Globalsat and talking with the developer of the Naviator App. He has been using a Bluetooth receiver paired with his tablet I believe and it seems to be working. Since I need to upgrade my G1 anyway, and don't really care about all the social networking bells and whistles that come with a lot of modern phones, I was looking at the Garminfone for it's navigational abilities.

Good looking phone. Do you know how well the GPS signal locks in it?

mine has been fine always gets a lock

I've had one for over a year now. It works fine. I don't know anything about linking its GPS function with another device. I tried to find a way to use it as a GPS receiver for a PC application, but could not find a way to do that.

I use the GPS in my Nexus One for my A500, shared via bluetooth. It works 100% beautifully, since it can lock down almost instantly and tracks more accurately than this thing can. I use Sygic's latest release as my navigation app, the only problem it has is that the top part of the interface is cut off (it doesn't use the new HC full-screen mode, yet), so the signs that come up are cut off.

Justop K9B stick MK809 ii

Hi, my first post so be gentle!
Does anyone have one of these, it is the Bluetooth version of the MK809 ii and although I'm generally happy with it, it does have a few shortfalls. I am using it with a lan adaptor which works well.
I have a webcam that sort of works with Skype, but the large (Skype caller) and small (local webcam) images are the wrong way round, so if anyone calls I have to squint at the tiny picture! I tried the version off xda but it's the same. Any help there would be appreciated.
I've never dabbled with flashing anything android but should I be looking at doing this perhaps, and if so I have not seen any mention of the Bluetooth version of the MK809ii. I'll probably turn it into a vegetable anyway!
I welcome any thoughts/experience with this gadget.
Cheers
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

which lan adapter are you using and how much.
I am looking to buy the mk809ii, and was wondering what are some CONs and disadvantage you are seeing now? I heard it is much better than the mk808 as it has less glitches?

I'm using the BOBJGEAR usb to Lan android adapter, works fine out of the box on my tv stick.
Aside from the Skype problem above (REALLY annoying!), not too many cons to be honest, just minor niggles mainly with some apps not being suited to it.
-Youtube seems to have lost its ability to go full screen for some reason, works fine on my Nexus 7 and is the same version.
-I have tried a few DLNA media apps to try and view pictures, videos etc from my NAS and they appear to be occasionally laggy across my network, the media app that came with the stick seems to work the best but looks pants!
-Watching films is generally a good experience, but the rendering isn't fantastic on darker films, probably mainly due to the quality of videos I have. Youtube HD videos are perfect.
-Google earth works but there doesn't seem to be any zoom buttons so is useless, i haven't looked into that yet.
All in all i'm happy with it, I bought a Xenta bluetooth keyboard with built in mouse which connects fine directly with the built in bluetooth. The mouse is a bit frustrating though so will be buying a bluetooth mouse.
Hope that helps

hi sadsplace, im just thinking of buying one, are you still happy 2 weeks in, any new suggestions?
thanks

No Skype calls on new MK 809 II
I just got this new TV stick which seems to be working fine. Still, I'm unable to make calls in Skype. I attached a USB webcam and I also paired a bluetooth headset, I enabled video calls in Skype, but when I get to call anyone, after 2 or 3 rings, the call fails no matter if the other party answered or not. The only error message I see is "Call failed".
If anyone experienced this, is there a way to at least see if the webcam and the BT microphone are correctly installed? I tried several webcam apps from Google Play just to get an immage on my screen and finally I got one, but not in Skype.. .
