Hi Everyone,
I know that the Z5P will not utilise all the features of the Daydream but the headset looks to be the most comfortable one on the market. Is anyone using it as a headset not with the added features? I am looking at buying both seeing as here in Au there is currently a good special on.
Cheers

One step at a time, first we need Nougat. Then I can't imagine why it wouldn't be great with VR.

Hi guys
I wanted to know if anyone can port the Media Remote App that comes with the new Xperia Tablet S to the Note 10.1. I really like the features that the Tablet S has to offer in terms of the remote. Since both the tablets have an IR blaster, can this be made possible??
And how good is the Peel Remote given by Samsung??
If it has already been ported, can you kindly post the link here???
Not sure if that works!
Sony might have a different IR sensor. So different drivers nessesary.
IMHO Peel sucks! A: Needs online for new Remote (okay... you're always on newset source...) B: doesn't work with my Denon Audio... On/Off does, nothing else. And Humax isn't even supported!
TouchSquid might be nice. But only ON/OFF in free version! and i don't really want to pay 40$ ....
P.S Seems like Samsung gave to code to their IR transmitter, Sony didn't!
Sony's app is available on the play store. I have it on my tablet.

It is on the Play Store but it looks like that version only supports WiFi, no IR.

The only one that i found on the play store is the one which is used to control the Bravia series and the Sony BluRay players. I didnt find the one that sony is using in its new tablet. That one IMHO is KICK ASS AWESOME.
If any developers who have the new Tablet S, can you try to get the code from it and the apk to work in this???
@moderator: can this be put in the android development forum???
Just saw this and thought some of the rest of you may be interested:
http://www.slashgear.com/phonejoy-play-smartphone-game-controller-hits-kickstarter-05259565/
I'm thinking about going in on it, but not entirely decided yet...
I've still been holding out hope that someday a new phone with game controls will be available, but the longer I wait the more I start to consider these game control accessories. The MOGA almost had me convinced, except I don't like that they didn't implement it as a standard HID controller. This solution looks pretty good to me, though it is just trying to get off the ground and still a ways away which doesn't exactly solve the waiting problem...
What do you guys think? Anyone else interested? Still holding out for a new phone with game controls?

Wrong section. This belongs in accessories.

Yeah, I wasn't sure where to put it... it's a silly accessory for the Xperia Play because it would be completely redundant!
I saw there was a previous thread under General about the MOGA controller, so I figured this was the most appropriate place.

Maybe this would be helpful those wishing to leave the play.

PhoneJoy Play + hTC DNA = the AWESOMENESS itself :laugh:
But unfortunately that DNA is only exclusive to Verizon.
They are getting close to their funding goal and still have until Jan 3rd to go! ( $48,131 / $50,000 as of now)
They've also got some stretch goals, but not sure if they will make it that far.
But yeah, I'm thinking this is the best controller accessory solution for anyone wanting to upgrade to a new phone (without integrated gaming controls).
And they're saying they've managed to get enough stretch into it now to fit a Galaxy Note II. That could bump mobile android gaming up to a 5.5" screen!

The project is now funded! But I think you can still pledge for one through their PayPal webstore, if anyone else is interested!

Just wanted to update one last time in case anyone else is interested in this accessory. I did get in on the kickstarter, but I still plan to stick with my Xperia Play for a while. I do hope a new Sony gaming phone comes out soon, or I might even consider an X-Box phone if Microsoft would make one. But now if not, I'll have this to slap onto a more modern phone in the future. And I should also be able to use it on my computer/other devices as a regular controller.

I've searched for hours the best smartwatch for this. Here are my needs: not bluetooth-dependent, aka watch-phone (all I need is wifi really) but I still do plan on pairing it to my device... I also want to create my own apps easily, much like that with Tasker scenes. I am a coder as well but never coded android apps, only pc. It looks like a nightmare. Correct me if I'm wrong. I am interested in Sony SW2 sdk, but that looks taunting. I would like Sony but I would also like to use wifi. Is that possible with some modding? I want an independent smartwatch that can also pair with my phone. I also want app creation for various things. Waiting is a last resort. Thanks.

Take a look at SmartQ's Z-watch. Had the sw2...preferred Z as daily driver.
I now have the TS due to 2nd line necessity....be honest, I miss the Z.

I think the best one for developing apps on it will be the AI Watch, best specs putting all the other smartwatches in shame.

Is this the new preorder one? I just looked at their website, it looks pretty future-tech. I can't find any "good" info on their current one.

Thanks, this watch looks like a great deal. The deal-breaker for me is being water-proof and having the headphone jack.
@mghtymse007 Can I ask you: have you tried Tasker on your Z watch? Does scene creation work? Does Tasker Gingerbread work better? (Tasker Gingerbread also works on 4.x) If you could try it out that'd be nice. Thanks,

Did you see the video ?
The spec are the best I ever seen on a smartwatch....
I already pre order
Hi all,
Newbie here. Looking for some advice. I can't decide which watch to purchase between the following: U8, U8 Pro, U10 or the ZGPAX S8.
New to these smartwatches hence can't make mind up. Any help appreciated.:good:
Anyone?
what do you want to use it for?
standalone?
companion?
notifications?
pedometer?
etc...
i myself would never buy any of the u8/u10 watches, it's near impossible to get support for them
and with the recent discovery of clones of these crappy watches....
no experience with zgpax, so can't really advice you on any of the mentioned watches

Thanks for your reply. I would be looking to use it for standalone, companion, notifications. Are there any other watches you recommend?
Moto 360 is my suggestion.
Other smartwatchs
Why the zgpax s8? zgpax s5 can have a upgradeable battery from the 500mah it comes with to a 700mah.
The z watch by smartq works great to both run Android either 4.3 or 4.4
But the u8,u8 Pro and u10 are all about the same and they are cheap in quality and price wise, so I wouldn't buy them either.
and it all still depends on your price range as well z watch is between $75-120, while the zgpax s5, s6, and s8 range from $120 to $160 but all of them have a lot of support threads on here. I think the zgpax s5 has its own big thread with daily posts.
Well, I have the s8. don't know If you're still looking but I'm loving it. I spent $180 for mine. I'm rooted and preset the watch to 4.4.4.... So all my apps can upgrade. Now I have Google now cards with Nova launcher and use nils notifier with android L cards.

I am considering purchasing this phone and I've looked around and found some mixed answers on this question. I know the Nexus 6p isn't officially supported with Daydream VR, but is it possible to use it and if so how is the experience?
I've also seen some posts asking about using the Daydream controller with it, is this possible as well?
Thanks in advance.

The phone doesn't really work well with Daydream. Performance is stuttery and the phone gets pretty hot. Considering the existing hardware issues with this phone running Daydream is probably not a great idea.
