Wifi printing

Just noticed this on the tab. Pretty cool stuff

Can't find wifi printer on network

Apparently it only works with certain Samsung printers, but there's very little information about this.
Regards,
Dave

Yes. From page 49 of the user's manual:
Print. Your device is compatible only with Samsung printers.

I have used Google Cloud Print. Once I got it set up, it has worked fine.

There is an app for HP printers too. If someone needs it, I can post it. Stupid HP updated the app to support their web printers and deprecated the wifi ones.

Printer Share from the Market works great for me. The first 20 pages are free, so there's nothing to lose.

Cloud print can be used with any printer that's airprint/eprint ready and can be set up with practically any printer as long as the printers connected to a computer with chrome installed

PrintBot from the market also seems to work OK for me (HP Wireless F4500)
Sends direct to the printer via WiFi, no need for computer to be on. (Need to be on the same WiFi network of course)
Limited number of prints/month on free version.
Havn't fully tried it yet but it found printer and sent a test page OK

Control Ouya from your Android Phone - Wireless Mouse/Keyboard/Remote (Root Required)

For those of you that rooted your Ouya this app is amazing. I downloaded "DroidMote" from the Play Store in hopes of using my phone as a wireless mouse. I only tried this app out for about fifteen minutes but it works flawlessly with the Ouya. It brings up a mouse cursor on the Ouya and the phone acts as a touchpad. You can also use the phone keyboard to type on the Ouya. Root, Playstore and Busybox are required. It does cost $2.50 but definitely worth it in my opinion.
Install the DroidMote Client on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteclient&hl=en
Install the DroidMote Server on the Ouya: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteserver&hl=en

mmm
I'm not sure if i'm understanding but this app will replace the keyboard is it correct?

Very nice app,phone works as controller on ouya games too!

Just made an account just to thank you dude!!
I've been looking everywhere without luck for an app that could do this, tried a couple none of em worked and if you're starting or quitting XBMC, it can get really annoying to switch from Yatse on the phone to physical controller. XBMC seems to be quicker now with no Ouya controller interfering. I don't think you know how much this made my day!

Looks a lot like spam, bro. LOL
I'm actually using an Rii controller with Flirc and the USB dongle for the air mouse and keyboard. Well, I'm not using it yet since I just got my Ouya in the mail and haven't even installed it yet, but the controller works like wonders (in the Mac and my TV for now).

It depends on your Smart TV. If it's a Samsung some have BT for use with an external mouse and keyboard. Those that don't you can connect via USB (or use a wireless keyboard that comes with a USB wireless dongle). You can also use your SGS4's keyboard via the SmartView app from Play. Keyboards only work on Samsung controlled parts of the TV interface. They aren't recognized by a lot of the third party apps accessed via Smart Hub.
When you're setting up WatchOn, here's a tip. Don't go through the device set-up process. Instead, make sure the TV and your Samsung mobile device are on the same network and hit the icon shown below. It allows WatchOn to show content from your TV within the app assuming your Smart TV supports it.
This is all meaningless if your Smart TV isn't made by Samsung.

Thanks my tv is samsung, what im trying to do is... for example, watch youtube, and using the search, use my phone as keyboard instead of using the remote pressing the letters 1 by 1. Not sure if that made any sense... i set up the watchon but it doest have the "keyboard" function i was looking for.
RIght now im doing.. seach it on my phone then sync it to the tv-_-

Whatever you're trying to do on the TV has to be keyboard enabled; most non-Samsung apps don't support outside keyboard access and require you to use the keyboard that's provided within the individual app.
Here are two examples. The Web Browser and Samsung Apps support the Samsung keyboard.
If your phone has Smart View installed and is connected to the TV this pops-up whenever the TV's keyboard pops up.
The YouTube app doesn't support the Samsung keyboard so you have to use whatever's provided in the app.

Thanks for the detail explanation.

WatchON's pretty much useless outside of the TV function if you have a Samsung Smart TV. Smart View allows you to control all the other functions and Smart Hub including allowing you to use your device's keyboard vs. the onscreen keyboard. That's what OP was asking about.

Watchon with Cyanogenmod
is there anyway to get Watchon working and installed on Cyanogenmod? I have the APK, says not installed. help!!!!!

Watchon integrates IR remote with your tv program guide (if your cable tv is supported)
for youtube, I used to use youtube remote... an app by youtube to pair your tv and play the videos.
with recent update, that functionality is built in youtube app on the phone. in the app select "Play on" option and you can add your tv to the list.

No. Won't work on AOSP as is (would require major 'rejigging'/porting to get it to work if at all), requires Samsung framework.

PS4 Remote play app

I've just tried to install the PS4 Remote play app from this other XDA form [http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147] and it gives me an error saying 'FAILURE [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] is this an issue with the fire tv or the app?

It's because that app requires KitKat, the Fire TV/Stick is only Jelly Bean.

I thought that might be the case, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Just a quick update, i have found that the apk has been updated and it allowed me to install it on my Fire TV [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...play-t2929147] however even when a PS4 controller is paired to the Fire TV, it will not work within the app. I used workaround 2 and it worked like a charm. I hope this helps someone.

So how are people getting past the verification/login screen when they load up the Remote Play app? I've got Firefox instaledl on my TV Stick but when the login forum pops up from the Remote Play app I can't control/type anything in with my remote.

I use dolphin.
Anyone know a way to use the ds4, unrooted, mapped correctly if possible, without workaround 2, because that workaround doesn't work if not local.

this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-ps4-remote-play-native-gamepad-t2975609) someone has been working on an app that supports all native controllers, i testing using an xbox 360 controller and it worked great.
as for logging in, i just got it to load firefox, and then plugged keyboard on, gave a few mins to load and them i could type in my details.

I tested this out and I was able to use the sixaxis controller app and paired my ds4. Everything worked except the touchpad and the PS Home button (PS Home Button is currently configured to take your Android device to its home).

Ive got this working using the 0.73 apk from script kitty.
Working well using the second acccount hwck ( saves me having re sync controller all the time. Plus fire tv is in range of mynps4 foe the bluetooth).
Question is, im missing the little tab on the rempte play app that lets you adjust the settings, so i cant set the video quality to high
Anyideas?
Ihave the apks for 0.6 and 0?70 so i can always try those.

i'm pretty sure i had to press the context menu button on the fire remote to bring up the settings tab.

Ahhh I see I will try that when I get home

Thanks thatbworked a treat

Has anyone tried the Fire TV controller, i paired a dualshock 4 using bluetooth and all the button work apart from r2 and l2, I just wanted to check before i make the leap to the fire controller.

Unable to login
Hi at all,
I have installed the latest version of the app at my fire tv but I'm unable to login to my PSN account as there is no browser window opening on my fire tv box where I can enter my account detail...
Fire tv is on latest firmware with Chrome installed. Any help would be appreciated!

There are apps on Play Store that can help you use your phone as mouse or keyboard.
One such app is Chrome Remote Desktop. I know about it because I used to use this app for Remote Connection to my PC. It lets you control your PC by adding a chrome extension on your PC. Set-up is fairly easy.

I'm interested in using it as a HID USB ketboard
