Control RC Toys with Windows Mobile - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
Many phones nowdays have a builtin FM radio transmiter, my phone doesn't, so I connected a regular FM Transmiter to the headphone jack of my phone and I am able to transmit frequenices to a radio receiver.. In general I am able to listen music from my phone player on to another FM radio receiver.
My question..:
Is it possible to built a software/application that can control a RC toy (like a RC car/truck/helicopter) using the FM transmiter (Internal or external).
I am not a developer or electronic engineer, but as per my understanding the RC toys work on FM transmission.. i.e. FM signals received by the RC toys receiver transmited from the remote control..
If we can make a application that can help transmit certain frequencies out of the receiver it would be great fun... after all hi-end phones nowdays are toys..

Moved as not software release.

Is it possible...?

What you propose makes sense but the fm transmiters in devices are not very powerfull. They are more intended for short range use within an automobile. Saw a video before where guy used his n900 to control mini helecopter but he had to stay within a couple of feet to maintain control. Then there is THIS which uses wifi and is pretty damn cool. On my winmo device I use remote desktop to control my train layout in the backyard through a host computer in the house on my network.

And yes I'm a dork and a nerd. Just to avoid any criticism. But bring it on anyway...
good day.

Wow, your train setup looks good...!!
and that AR.Drone for iPhone is also amazing..!!
Hope we get something for our windows mobile withour the need of Remote Desktop..

But it is still NON-Stereo right???
Yes that's correct. The "stereo" feature would mean a bigger project and different releases for different devices. But it can be an idea for a different project. Thanks for your input
Cheers,

Anyone try the cheap androidsTVs the Roku seems based on?

Since the interface seems draggy on the Tablet HDMI stick builds/hardware for 2.4ghz wireless control devices or bluetooth keyboards and mice, I am looking for something with a remote, so the lady has "ease of use", and "less complication...
Think one-trick-pony for Netflix.
Has anyone used the AndroidTV's that Roku seems to be based on such as something like these:

I want to know if these remotes function in Netflix, as I know their app really sucks with a pointing device such as mouse, mainly due to their foreground popup, not actually being a popup and when using arrow keys it scrolls the background... Do remotes on devices such as this work in the old Android (4.0) builds of Netflix, or has someone tried any of these AndroidTV boxes/sticks that work well with an IR remote and Netflix (assuming that it is IR)?
OR what is the cheapest functional stable Roku-like, or Netflix streaming device with a full remote (4-way cursor, back, home, and maybe power button)?
Are Netgear streaming players a good alternative to Roku?
Mainly because Roku's 90 day phone-support, and the remainder of the 1 year support all via e-mail (unless you pay an extra $12 fee) really pissed me off, not to mention having to activate EVERY DEVICE for a Roku sucks.
Bumpity-dumpity for input...
Does anyone have any RJ45-wired AndroidTV devices?

[ACCESSORIES][REVIEW] 2015 Anker Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker (A3143)

Hey XDA,
Here is my review of the 2015 Anker Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker including HD pics. I purchased this from Amazon UK for £39.99 and I'm sure it's available from your countries Amazon.
These speakers although small pack a serious punch and deliver crisp highs as well as bass heavy lows, a brilliant all-rounder with a premium look and feel. They are one of ankers newest devices in their audio range and they definitely do not disappoint, with a modern look, easy to use buttons with likewise connectivity and the added benefit of an AUX 3.5mm input.
These speakers will outperform anything within it's price range however you use it, whether connected directly to a PC watching a movie or pumping out your the latest songs on your phone, although I found I prefer it for gaming and movies. I had also recently bought a Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth speaker for around the same price and honestly it's just tucked away under this Anker one now.
Every device that is bluetooth enabled should work, that's including PCs and laptops (which from experience do not always work over bluetooth) and if not the 3.5mm jack offers a seamless connection with difficulty to other and/or older devices such as basic MP3 players.
Overall I genuinely cannot fault this speaker it has far exceeded expectations and also blown every other one I own out of the water!

In the market for a new phone and I have a Bluetooth question

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new phone, though, that's not what I want to ask. I'm interested in the Bluetooth functionality.
What I'd like to know is for all you One Plus 6 owners out there - Are you able to have multiple bluetooth audio+phone devices connected at the same time, just like the S8+? And I'm not talking about dual audio.
Can the 1+6 do that? Can someone test it please?
To elaborate on the question. I have the leeco le pro 3 and normally have my Bluetooth headset on everyday. When I jump in my car, the phone connects to the Bluetooth car which is expected, however, the phone completely disconnects the Bluetooth headset. I can only have one or the other connected at a time, unless I manually change Bluetooth profiles each time. I tested out a friends galaxy s8+ and was able to have both Bluetooth devices connected at the same time, and "hot swap" between the 2. I'm not sure if this is the result of Apt X technology, android OS version or even the mfr's ROM config.
See this discussion with someone here for further clarification:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...h-question-t3791411/post76582679#post76582679
I have an old phone that doesn't allow 2 of the same type (phone/audio) Bluetooth profile streams to be connected at the same time. I know that most phones can't stream to 2 at the same time, but I want them to at least stay connected so I can hot swap.
Below is how my Bluetooth looks when I connect to 2 devices of the same channel. I can't have both phone and audio on both bluetooth devices *connected* at the same time.

Below is how my friends Bluetooth settings looks on his s8+ when connected to 2 devices of the same media type (phone/audio). He can have both phone and audio on both Bluetooth devices *connected* at the same time
yes, oneplus supports that
Do you have one? Can you try it and take a screenshot? Thank you!
