I am about to buy a PDA/Smartphone. I liked the HTC Touch until I discovered it comes without an IR port.
I know it sounds a little silly but a main reason to me for buying a PDA is that I could use it as a multiremote to control my tv's, HD-recorder, DVD and soundbridge/Receiver.
I have tried to firgure out which pda/smartphone that would do the job but without luck. Some say that a lot of the smartphones/PDAøs has to weak an IR-signal to be used properly as a remote.
But there must be something out there hat works?
Thanks in advance /Rasmus
this prog worked ok on my pda's
http://www.novii.tv/
I have heard of Novi and just found the compatibility-list http://www.novii.tv/pocketpc/#compatibility but which PDA'S/smartphones has a strong enough IR-signal to work properly?
Thanks - Rasmus
my htc ones had about a 2-3meter range and because they are focused one have to aim alot for the tv to respond
i dont know of any htc pdas which have a consumer graded IR
heck IR is not even included in newer pda's from htc

yep and if you bothered to search first you would have found a number of threads talking about IRda having bad range on most devices for Remote control functions.
but you didnt and here we are.
Wow, what a jerk. Someone needs a maxi pad.

Read http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17874 (and make sure you keep reading ALL my articles, I've linked to this one from several of them).
Has anyone tried one of these car stereos with their Trinity? I'm thinking about getting one mainly to play music via my phone.

Can't say I have mate, How did it work out. Senior member now, whats the [op] mean apart from old person
Hey guys, this question may have already been answered, but I was talking on my plantronics 230 bluetooth and I decided to start my music player. It began to play the music through the bluetooth while I was on the call, but when I hung up, it played through the normal speaker. Is there a way to get the music playing through the bluetooth all the time even if its not a stereo bluetooth?
Thanks!
I've seen this before. The answer you're looking for is here.

There are too may posts at the link you posted. How can I find the answer with all those posts? Can you be more specific next time?
Can someone please post a link for where I can buy a cable that will allow me run run video/audio out from my Epic 4G to my current 08 G35 TV screen via RCA?
When my lease runs out on the G35, the new G37 replaces the RCA video/audio in with USB. Can someone post a like for where I can buy a cable for sending video/audio from my Epic to the USB in of the G37?
Thank you.
Did you try the search button or the wiki? Or did you expect someone else to do that work for you? While we're on the subject, if you have the money to piss away on a G37, you have money to pay someone who knows what they're doing to set it up for you.
HAD you done any reading (rather than expecting us nerds to work for you for free) you'd see video is not happening (at least not yet, and possibly never). Audio is certainly possible, and VERY EASY, but if you can't figure that out you have no business trying to get wired into a car stereo (much less in a LEASED car).

epic. youd think after the 35 comparison thread between the evo shift and the epic this fine op created, this wouldve come up. guess you made the wrong choice tc!
edit. since hes duplicating this thread in the evo shift thread, im going to assume he doesnt own either of these phones or a g35. we'll see i guess when he posts pics.
I searched "RCA" and found nothing.
I own G2 and will be trading it in for a Shift or a Epic after CTIA.
I own a 2008 G35x and will be trading in for 2011 G37x.
FYI: My company ended up making the entire division take Blackberries.
Short answer: no.
Has anyone tried microUSB to TV/Monitor USB port for video and audio?
What happened?
Thanks.
After all day on the phone with Samsung, video and audio out to an external monitor for dual display is not possible with the Samsung Epic.
Shame on you, Samsung.

Check my screen name.
My G is a taxi cab for during the week and for ski trips on the weekend.
My C6 and a 1k bike is for having fun.
I'm not one of the dillusional fast and furious that thinks any Infiniti is a sports car......or anything running slower than 10's is quick.
The only thing fast out of asia is a 1000+cc bike and a HIGHLY modified GTR/Supra, but I digress.
The fact that the Epic won't do AV out for dual display is still pathetic.
ppl, we gotta keep pushing on this. For the same reasons others have to get this working. Especially with netflix now working, to have the tvout option would be the cherry on top. Like many, its not to connect to my house tv but for my car tv!!!!! Big thanks and respect to the all devs out there.
Isimple makes some nice audio in devices. I just put one in my 3g acura TL to get an aux port on my XM button.
I had to go through a ton of crap to get audio on my g35 06 working, had to intall a switch in the dash to enable sat connection since there wasn't a simple jack built in and bluetooth didn't work. Was amazed. So annoying and basic and it didn't have it.

I have an 07 g35x. The best solution to streaming audio from Epic is a BT gateway.... there is no way to display video because Epic´s video out is not enabled.
RCA video

I see you are a senior member. Are you equally rude to everyone like you were to the member who enquired about the RCAcable?
I've been looking for an answer too, and yes, I have exhausted my search efforts or I wouldn't be here looking for an answer either. If you don't have an answer, do us all a favor and keep your worthless comments to yourself. I'm surprised the moderator tolerates your behavior.

I'm sorry you took it that way. My comment was not personally directed at anyone. I guess I should have said there's no need for anyone to be a ****. Especially when it is unprovoked, as was the case with the other poster. My point was, 2 years or not, rudeness is not acceptable.
Hi everyone.
I've got a question for everyone out there. You know those FM transmitters that you can purchase for ipods mp3 palyers etc, is it possible to make our FM chips transmit instead of receive? Would be fantastic to use in the car as a music player through cars stereo via FM frequency and no additional cables etc...
Just asking....

No. It's hardware based, not software.
Please, next time post question in Q and A subforum. Not Development.
First of all WRONG SECTION
Second - No. You would need to open the phone and change the hardware and possibly the software too. So no.
Since it's illegal in France I don't think Samsung include it
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda premium
No, it's not possible + illegal in many countries as you need licenses for transmitting.. However if you are so curious grab a wireless headphone and use it's transmitting unit that works as short range transmitter... (WORKED FOR ME ) but you CANNOT use Radio as a Transmitter coz Transmitter uses many other things (ask electronics expert)
SECOND - WRONG SECTION SO REPORTED.. You should use Google and not XDA. This is Android Development section and your question is not related to neither Android nor Development..
Come on, one guy is enough. He got the point. We don't need a whole team to do the bashing. just saying

I thought it may have been software, hence post in development. Sorry everyone I upset.
Can mod please close this thread now
