So verizon fios have a couple of mobile apps available one is the remote dvr which is available in WM marketplace.
The other app they have is the mobile remote, which lets you uses your phone to directly control the fios box (change channels, throw slideshows up from the phone to the TV etc etc etc). The mobile remote app is listed as being supported on the a bunch of devices, however the only WM device listed is the touch pro2, everything else is Android...
Now i'm assuming that if its supported on the TP2, then there should be a cab out there somewhere for it right???
I WANT THIS RUNNING ON MY HD2... (i played with it in android running on HD2 and its really cool - but i had stability issues with the android build)
Couple of web links with info on the app and PR announcing devices that were added:

there must be someone out there with some thoughts on this?
Did you get this working on your phone?

Hi,
I want to set up a whole house media center, I have a xbmc server running in my house and a windows 7 pc which I can stream from also.
I have seen applications for andriod like 2player and skifta which allow me to stream music from these devices and it offers the ability to stream to other devices.
Can anyone advise me how I could set up a second android phone as a receiver. Since android phones are now so cheap I think it would be quite nice to have multiple android devices to act as receivers around my home.
I would aim to start a application like 2player on my own personal phone, choose my pc or xbmc server as source and then choose the music to play on one of the android phone.
Can anyone advise how to set this up as I don't know how to get the android phones to listen for streams.or even any alternative suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Dec
Hi guys,
Just to update this post last night I spent a bit of time researching this.
I found another app called "bubble upnp" which works as a dlna dmr.
I can see it all starting to come together now. I was able to stream from my xbmc server to another android phone running bubble upnp and using 2player on my own phone as the control point.
I am happy with this but I'm not sure if these are the best app's for this?
Also I think there maybe a small issue with power usage. I don't want to leave WiFi running on the end devices all the time. And or the dlna dmr app if possible.
I think sms gps can remotely turn on WiFi aswell as gps so this maybe a simple work around.
But not sure how to launch an app remotely on android phone.

Hello,
I'm looking to extend my music collection available on my device by streaming from my PC, either on my home network or on other WiFi networks. 3G is generally not up to the job, so I'm not interested in that.
I did a quick google and found a program called JukeFly, but it's not available in my region, and I can't find it on Marketplace. Is there a way to get JukeFly on my device?
I know that I can add music to my SkyDrive, but this is only accessible through the Office Hub, so is a bit clunky to access and I presume I'll be limited to opening one track at a time.
I've come across Media Buddy, which works with Windows Media Centre, but I'm really looking for something that will at least appear in the Applications list in Zune on my device.
Anyone got any clever solutions?
Thanks
When you're at home you could use a DLNA app.
Or you could install TVersity Server (it's for free) on your PC and then download and install either myMedia WP7 or TVersity Remote on your device. Works like a charm for me.
Streaming from your PC to WP7
There is an app in the marketplace called Tonido. It is really good at what its for. It reminds me of orb before it got screwed up, but tonido you should enjoy
One thing i really miss from my time spent with iPhone is airplay, used it everyday.
Since jumping on to WP7 i have searched hi & low for a streaming solution and haven`t found one yet.
So my question, is there any video/music streaming option for Mac to WP7 out there?
That might actually be worth developing. Bear in mind that WP7 users who run OS X PCs are going to be an extremely niche market, though. There are two ways that I can see to do it, though:
* Write a WP7 app that acts as a client for a current streaming service on OS X / iTunes. Make sure the stream can be decoded on the phone and that the service recognizes the app, but neither should be too hard (WP7 already recognizes most of Apple's codecs).
* Write a WP7 app that acts as a client to a dedicated media server app. Write that dedicated media server app, for OS X and possibly other platforms. The server would take care of ensuring WP7 compatibility. You'd need Apple dev tools (which is expensive, for somebody who currently owns no Apple hardware) and knowledge of writing good server code, though.
For HTC phones, you can download "Connected Media" from the HTC section of marketplace. Although not the greatest player, it does allow you to play non-DRM music and videos stored in your library (no streaming) to DLNA receivers. I use it to play to my Linksys Extender of my Media Center every once in a while.
@spokanedj: I think the OP is looking for the other direction, streaming files from the PC (Mac, in this case) to the phone. I'm guessing the goal is working around the limited storage on the phone for people with a really big media library.
I enjoy watching tv-shows when laying in bed, so yes im only interested in streaming.
I saw on https://www.emitapp.com/ that wp7 app coming soon.
I used emit on android, it wasnt perfect but i did the job
So I will like to move to WP7 cuz I really like the Lumia 900, but coming from Android there are a few apps that I will like to know if I will have them or their equivalent in WP7, so does WP7 offers any of these?
*WatchESPN
*NBA League Pass
*Time Warner Cable streaming App
*any way of watching live sports sites like firstrowsports?
*Hulu+
*Netflix
*Plex
*Remote Desktop Applications
*WDTV Remote
*iHeart Radio
*Pandora
*Tapatalk
*MMS app with emoji support
Thanks.
I believe Nokia is working on an ESPN app. Atleast they have the WRC Live which is very good for following rally. Also there seems to be some ESPN score apps in the Marketplace.
There are multiple Remote Desktop apps and media player remotes which you can use to control for example a VLC player or Windows Media Player on your PC. There also seems to be a WDTV Remote app.
For listening to music you got many alternatives. Nokia Music is great!
Don't know about the others.
*Netflix
There is an app directly from Netflix
*Pandora
no native app, but there is 3-d party app called Pando Radio, works fine
iHeartRadio has been available on WP7 pretty much since launch. The phone also supports just receiving FM radio. RemoteDesktop (app name has no space) works fantastically.
I don't know about the sports apps; I really don't go in for that stuff much. There are some that look related in the Marketplace, but I have no idea how they compare to what you're expecting.
If you've got a store nearby with Windows phones on display, you could go search the Marketplace yourself and try them out. You can also just search the Marketplace online (just search WP7 Marketplace or similar).
Hello all,
I've read a number of threads that dance around this topic/question but none that answer it.
Is there an App that will enable an Android smart phone to remotely control/advance a Powerpoint Presentation on an iPad via Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth?
...without jailbreaking the iPad?
FYI: I've come across a thread post offering this solution (enterpriseios website) but don't know if it'll work and would prefer not to try.
"If you jailbreak the device you are trying to control, yes. There is an app in Cydia called Veency that is a VNC server for iOS. You can then use Screen Sharing on the Mac, or one of the many free VNC clients (such as UltraVNC or TightVNC) on a Windows machine to view and control the target iOS device. You can even view/control the iOS device FROM another iOS device with a remote desktop app like Jump."

I know how to control your iPads media with your android device :
Developed by BOJA, iRemote iTunes WMP is an app that allows you to control your iTunes library using an Android smartphone. It works over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and we found it to be the simplest and easiest to set up among the handful of apps available.
To get started, you will need to install the Android app on your phone along with a server app which you have to install on your Windows-based PC. Once the server is running on your computer, open up iRemote on your Android device to get started.
iRemote is a free WiFi and Bluetooth remote for iTunes and Windows Media Player WMP on Windows (XP,Vista,Win7)
Remote control iTunes and WMP on your Windows desktop, laptop, notbok or tablet. Plug in Apple AirPort Express to any speaker in the house and get the ultimate iTunes remote control sound system.
Enjoy the gourgouse [sic] UI and rich feature set of this inovating [sic] remote control. iRemote iTunes and WMP is the only dedicated iTunes and WMP remote control supporting both WiFi and Bluetooth connections.
No user settings required! Simple out of the box support connecting over WiFi and Bluetooth.
We have tested the app on our Samsung Galaxy S II unit and can confirm that it works as advertised. While it does do what it says, it looks spectacularly ugly in the process. I’m not saying this because I’m some sort of UI snob, but I do appreciate a user-interface which, at least, doesn’t make you look away in disgust.
Another issue we had with the app is how much of a dent it makes on the battery. In our limited testing (which didn’t last more than an hour), we found our phone’s battery going down faster than usual. Opening up Settings > About > Battery usage proved our suspicions to be true:
Still, it is certainly worth a try if you’re in the market for a remote app for your iTunes library. We couldn’t find a better alternative, but if you know of one, please let us know! We’d love to cover it!
There are two versions available: the Free one comes with ads, does not allow you to search your library for that one song and it also does not allow users to play a song by browsing artists or albums. The paid version, which costs $3.00, obviously lifts these limitations.
Clarification?
Problem. I don't think this answers my Q.
I'm looking for an APP to remote control "media" on an iPad (iOS) with an Android ...not iTunes media on a windows based PC.
