[Q] What is the coolest thing you can do on your phone?

2. What is the most useful thing for you personally?
The coolest thing for me is being able to stream espn3 and watching live sports from the browser.
The most useful thing for me is being able to sync all my gmail, tasks and calendars. Also the app super private conversation is a life saver!

Remote desktop. Still my fave feature.
What is super private ?

I like being able to:
Remotely access my PC
Control my TV, DVR, Bluray, etc
Open my garage door
...all from my phone!

play media from my dvr, listen to audio through my bluetooth (comes in handy at work) access my pc from my phone, send sites to my phone through chrome browser, download torrents and watch xvid,divx files on rock player watching green hornet right now!!

super private conversation lets you add certain people to a list and then it will hide their txts or calls and put them in a private folder.
How do you control you're garage door with your phone??

I use it to call people
Seriously the coolest thing is I can swap ROMs at the drop of a hat. Make it be and do what I want it to. That's the coolest.

TV, DVD, etc is done through my Logitech Revue.
Garage door (lights, and stuff) is done with X10 components.
I also like being able to stream 100+ gigs of music from my PC...
Love this phone!! xD

i <3 google listen

x2 on X10 home automation, that's probably the coolest thing I use my phone for. The most useful thing is hard to pick, but sharing my PC and phone clipboard using Tasker has probably been the most useful for me.

Since you guys mentioned it, any way to access my mac from n1?

How is reliability for x10 products ?
Are you using a wifi to rf base..or pc in between ?

No probs with x10 reliability for me.
I connect through the PC, which means I can control lights and stuff from anywhere (work, etc), rather than just close proximity...

A porno.....online......... haha
Just kidding... actually i cant see sny thing that i can't do on other android-phones, but can see some stuff that doesnt run well pn n1

Watch Directv on 3G or wifi, stream my home or business surveillance systems live with slingplayer. Remote desktop with teamviewer from linux or windows. Download torrents, or get music with gtunes. Google voice translation, gps navigation, practice french. SSH,FTP, wardrive, port scan. Who doesn't use the N1 for a quick shot of porn

[Q] HDMI out

Hi all, I was looking at my shift, and even though it says it doesn't have video-out capabilities I see that the charging port is micro-hdmi. Is it possible to buy a micro-hdmi to hdmi cable and watch netflix and stuff on my TV?

That's micro-USB, not micro-hdmi. You use it to connect to your PC or Mac.

Is there any way to stream media from my shift to a TV? Like Netflix or something?

There is that samsung media streamer that got posted on the portal awhile back. That would be the only way I think, and it would require you have a compatible samsung tv. Or you might be able to use one of those google tv devices to stream from your phone (was that one of the features? I forget)

I use imedia share to stream to my samsung tv. Can stream things already on your phone but not netflix.

Don't think it will work for Netflix , but it does work for the other stuff on your phone. You can give THIS a try, see if it works for you.

Playstation3 remout control

need a program to manage ps3

people who can share information! because I want to control my PS3 with the desire
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

I know of two, pocket BLU and BlueputDroid.
Search for them in the market.
I've only tried BlueputDroid. Works over bluetooth as a keyboard and mouse. You need to be rooted and have a compatible rom, they suggest Cyanogenmod.
pocket BLU works over WiFi network and can control playback with pop up keyboard i think.

Thank you! I will try

I wonder why Sony's hasn't come up with an app yet, they already have an app for their new TV's and BD-players...

Why release a free app that competes with your $30 remote?
Tvs and Bd players come with remotes anyway.

[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.

Mirror xbmc

I'm trying to wirelessly mirror xbmc from my revue 8 to my tv via this actiontec. Problem is the audio only comes from the revue, not the tv. Audio works with the other apps like Windows media player, Xbox music etc though
Has anyone had success getting the revue to push audio to the tv while using xbmc?
