Maybe im losing my mind, but is it possible to watch real TV on an XDA?
Surely there could be some software that can descramble TV signals picked up by the ariel and put it into a picture on screen.
Wouldnt that be cool? or maybe it already exists!
Yeah, and maybe I could use my portable tv for a pocket pc and cellphone. Or maybe the microwave oven for a widescreen navigation system. The possibilities are endless. :idea:
Thanks for the sarcasm, but using a phone to take pictures, browse the internet and listen to music seemed crazy ideas a few years ago. Now look at what they can do!
If you wanted a phone that only made phone calls you made a silly choice buyin both an XDA and XDA 2. Go back to your Nokia 3210!
Also, I hear there is some sort of add on for a nintendo game boy that does this. So if an underpowered game boy can do it, then why not XDA 2?!
Also... here is a PPC phone that can do it, but is it software or hardware?!

It's not possible on the XDA series, but phones are coming out soon which you can watch tv on. (I'm going to get one!) Samsung are making them.
There is a tv adaptor for compact flash - so you'd have to get the XDA backpack.
got a link about the TV adapter for compact flash? does anyone know if there is an SD version of this on the horson?

Is there a ps3 control for android, similar to the wiimote one.
Sent from my rooted x10a using XDA app
I would also like to know if its possible
The developer of the Wiimote application, pikipirs, said that he will try to work on it. However there seems to be a few difficulties though I trust he will come through. It's all mentioned in his Wiimote thread which I can't seem to link to since I'm a new user.
Mm what i mean is use my android as a remote for the ps3 sorry for the confusion...

Add my "me too!" to the list=]
Don't know if this is what you guys are looking for exactly (I don't have a ps3) but try and app called "Pocket Blu" at least it gives you full control while watching Blu-ray discs.
Here's a video of some guy on youtube demonstrating it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6sCBu4elag
I'd much rather get my PS3 controller working for my PSX Emulator on my phone lol...
Add my vote too... It'd be great if someone could make an app to use the phone as a bluetooth keyboard/remote for the PS3... there is an app out there but it only works with certain blurays/bluray players apparently, not the PS3.... this would be a huge help in naming files/browsing the web/writing messages. As a previous poster said, I'd much rather pay 5-10 bucks on the market than spend 50-100+ on some huge bulky keyboard....

PocketBlu only works with a select few Pocket Blu-enabled Blu-ray discs, all of which are titles released by Universal (none of the the other studios are supporting this feature, yet). I believe all new and future Universal titles will include the Pocket Blu feature. It is a cool, but gimmicky, feature that works flawlessly and is as quick as the native remote control(s) for my players.
I actually bought the PS3 keypad attachment. It's overpriced and awkward to use. LOL
Add me to the list.
Someone could make a lot of money i feel. I would happily pay 5-10 bucks to use my Dualshock 3 on my EVO. I know someone can do it!!!
Open remote play
there is a project called open remote play which reverse engineered the remote play feature for sony vaio. Somebody could use that code if they wanted to try to make an app. (no linking but it's hosted on google code, you can search it)
Also Mobile SRC for windows mobile was an interesting idea: turns the phone into a bluetooth keyboard, which can be used to control the ps3
www(DOT)mobilesrc(dot)com(Slash)mobileremote(dot)aspx
Ive been dreaming of an app that turns the phone into a bluetooth keyboard.
I already have a doongle ready hehe
via Legend using xda-app
Yeah, any generic bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard will work with PS3. So if an app could let the phone work as a bluetooth keyboard, that would work, it wouldn't need to be PS3 specific.
Also, being able to use a PS3 controller as the input device on my phone while using emulators would be TOO amazing! This is what I'm really hoping for

I know it's a huge disappointment that HTC didn't put in a HDMI port, something that didn't bother me until recently.
I know for a fact that DLNA works great for streaming videos and photos taken on my phone to my TV, even on CM7.
I also just recently saw those youtube videos of guys using their Evo 4gs as their desktop, and wondered if there was a way for this to be accomplished on our phones. I was mainly thinking there was some way to work some magic over DLNA, and then bluetooth speakers, mouse and keyboard for the rest.
Anyone know if this is possible at all or even semi possible?
(I tried to search before posting but the search was down)
I'm also looking for an answer to this
I would like to see some idea on this too. I guess we're in the minority.
I agree as well, this is something I would be interested in. I remember when I bought my previous phone (nokia 5800 XM). I was quite excited about it's video out function, only to find it's composite analog video out to be wanting.
When I was trying to decide between inspire and the Atrix, a big deciding point for me was the untested nature of the dual core, and so far I like the results of my choice, the 2nd gen snapdragon has plenty of ooomph to play my highly compressed x264 mkvs and the battery is somewhat reasonable, however the screen mirroring is something I would really be interested in, surely with the gpu/cpu combo in place some kind of solution could be put into place, it doesn't take that much bandwidth to push a 2d desktop worth of images, especially with modern network speeds.
Here's hoping!
I am really hoping for a way to do this too. That new crackle app would be a lot nicer if I could watch it on my tv.

Feel free to go and develop software to do this - I don't think anyone is stopping you.
it was a good point and not a super complaint.. don't listen to the haters, but good luck finding a dev for it!
It shouldn't actually be too tough to do. I could see someone building an "EventAgent" app, that lets you draw buttons on the screen to use any layout you want (even superimpose it over an image of a controller, like some desktop apps). Combine that with orientation-sensor support, and then just figure out how to beam the controls to the tablet.
have you tried an app called blueputdroid I believe, Ill link in just a mo
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid&feature=search_result
It requires root, but the ipadrequires root/jailbreak to even play emulators from what Ive heard, Ive tried it myself using fpse and a couple of the yongzh emulators and it works great, although no multitouch yet.
I would be interested in this as well.

These arguments fall upon the deaf ears of fanboys. It goes both ways. There are plenty of Android die-hards (myself included) who don't want to hear any arguments against the ecosystem they love.
The only rational arguments come from a usability or ideological standpoint. Here are two examples:
Ideological - I don't believe a manufacturer should have any control over what software I put on or what I do with my device. My device is a tool, which should conform to my needs, not the other way around.
Usability - I only use this device for these three tasks, and since the alternative does not have support/apps for these particular tasks I prefer them to the competition.
If you are rationally choosing your ecosystem, the only logical arguments fall under these two categories. Otherwise you're simply buying into a brand, and thus you can't make any logical arguments.

Yeah if you wanna measure penises, using a PS3 controller or Xbox 360 controller is much more impressive.
If your gonna use a touch screen, why not the built in one on the tablet? I use the on screen controls for flights and stuff. Guy next to me had a DSi playing Mario which died mid flight. I was grinding my party in FF7 for 3 hours. He was impressed.
What about HDMI out running FPse PSx and a PS3 gamepad... that impresses my peeps.

Any other games like this?!!
i wouldnt mind using it but since i can only turn on my tv, its basically useless. it doesnt work with my centurylink prism box. there is an update in the market but cant update it.
anyone here using peel to its fullest?
I have set it up with no problem (HDTV, Satellite DVR and Stereo Reciever) but didn't find any real use for it. Its just so much easier to use the universal remote that came with my dish. Also while it turns everything on with one click it doesn't turn everything off, have to do them all seperately.
Peel is just horrid, completely lacks a learn function or a means of importing definitions. A decent ir app that used the transmitter built into the 7+would be great. Possibly a LIRC based app - that would open many doors.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
haven't use it at all... useless for me...
I use to use the Peel app before I got my 32" HDTV.
The only reason I don't use it now is because I would hate having to keep pressing input til it gets all the way down to hdmi 1.
Basically, it needs to be upgraded for the newer tvs.
Never used it...their support tells me that there is a bug with honeycomb and ir sensors. They said that the fix is ics and its up to Samsung to release it. Kind of a crumbly response if you're going to bundle a product and not support it.

I used it with a Samsung tv and lg tv no problems,
It also works with a old Sony DVD player I have,
Can't get it to work with the dreambox but this could be due to the custom firmware on the box,
Future support for sky boxes would be great...
Nope. Haven't touched it and no plans to do so.
I tried it out when I first got by SGT7+ and it worked - sort of - with my Toshiba TV and DirecTV. I haven't used it since. Actually I find it more trouble than it's worth. The IR sensor was not one of the reasons I got my Tab and didn't even come into play with my decision-making process. I could live without it quite nicely.
Never.
I think it is totally useless. Even I have couple of devices, but never use. I still can't understand why Samsung spent money to put this.
I also tried setting it up but couldn't get it to work with my setup. I am using Windows Media Center on an HTPC and all I could get it to do was turn on the TV. I like the idea behind it, but making it compatible with so many different setups is difficult. It would be interesting if Logitech bought them and integrated it with their Harmony line.

I use it when I'm too lazy to get the remote from wherever it was left last. I have a 2yr old LG TV and Dish DVR. Doesn't work with my 16 year old Sony home theatre.
I just upgraded my rom to the new synergy r111 and i want to share the knowledge of the push of pix music and videos to the xbox as long as your on the same wifi network. Not sure if it matters with the DD-WRT on my router either but with the new additon of XBOX SMART GLASS, I am so impressed with the new xbox update and the new jellybean roms for the S3. If you learned or want to try something new please give me some help so i can thank the developers in the other forum. other than that your welcome to tell me how you knew about this along time ago and how i suck and am old. Happy weekend!
edit: i beleieve its the samsung part of the app that handles this but i cant stress how nice it is to not have to use your controller and push netflix or espn with smartglass from the front page of xbox dashboard or use the samsung push over wifi to watch movies or play music with your phone instantly. (if im vague its because im drunk*)
Yeah, you're vague.
What are you trying to say exactly? That the new Xbox app is cool? Because that's all I got....

That does sound like a neat trick to stream your phone's video playback to - or even control - an Xbox system, actually. We're all Wii here because it's most kid-friendly, but I'm impressed with what you have described.
I'm guessing it's not due to the custom firmware on your router that you mentioned, since Xbox SmartGlass is supposed to offer this function with most smartphones, correct? Or, have you seen elsewhere that some smartphones can't hookup to SmartGlass well?
