Some times I wonder if posts like these are just troll bait. One would think that in today's day and age, anyone would know where to buy a remote control. I mean, its not like he is looking for a used, stabilizer tab trim motor for his Boeing 737. Its a damn remote control! That's like me creating a thread, asking where I can buy a gallon milk. This guy is just begging to be flamed. lol
But to answer your question... ebay. com or your local Walmart.
PS. And this is his first and only post on XDA. Really? Guy fired up his browser and registered on XDA just to ask this question? ROTFLMAO. This guy is my hero.

You could find a better universal remote at various market located into your cities, and if you want a particular location to shop where you can find it, then search it form the google, and i'm sure it would help you to find this.
Hi,
I was looking for a universal remote from a very long time but didn't found any advanced and affordable universal remote, then my nephew suggested me a website and you do not believe I found many universal remotes under my budget. I purchased one for myself and some of the main features of my universal remote are : Powered by: two AAA batteries, Workable range: < 9m, within 45 degree angle, Full function infrared remote(IR) control etc... If you are in the same position in which I was earlier then will recommend you to visit this website: "http://www.brandsdragon.com". You will get great deals.

Hi all,
I have been using BarcodeZilla for a while now based on a recommendation from a friend, but I have to say I'm disappointed with it. The final straw being that I have just scanned a PS3 game (Call of Duty) and although it recognised it, it could not retrieve any pricing information. I think this defeats the object of the application; I want to be able to see something in the shop and make sure it's a bargain before I buy it.
So... what do you guys recommend as a better alternative??
Thanks in advance,
Baloo

I doubt any barcode scanner could have that function... That is how every other barcode scanner works. If I am correct in my thinking, the price of the item is unique to each store, while the barcode is the same, so basically, the barcode can represent a different price dependent on the meaning coded into the store's system.
Sorry for not being clearer - I want to compare prices to internet sites such as Amazon, so I can see prices elsewhere before I buy in a store.
Thanks for the quick reply
id love an app like this. surely there must be something out there........

As I understand it, that is what BarcodeZilla is supposed to do. Although it tries to get prices from Froogle (Google's shopping channel). But in my experience, it doesn't do it for everything.
this mite be what your looking for...

Absolutely spot on, thanks
Mobiletag only searches .com sites. How do you get it to search .co.uk sites ?
So many applications can implement such functions, Zxing's barcode Scanner is OK.
Well, I've been following development of this for a while now, and today i got an e-mail saying it was released.
What is it? Well its a device that connects to the audio jack of a phone (mainly iPhone, iPod touch etc...) and you can then use a program to send IR commands to any devices you own. Currently the company only support apple products though.
The program that is made by thinkflood has a huge database full of commands for all types of devices, makes an models. It can also learn commands by storing the IR signal from a remote. IT's pretty basic, however i have no knowledge of programming for android my area is web design and programming lol.
Therfore I am asking if there is anyone who could make such a program for Android devices? The accessory costs $49 roughly £32. And in my opinion is well worth the money as this type of universal remote would be priceless. We all love our wifi and bluetooth remotes for PC remotes etc, now I'm sure i speak for a lot of people when I say it would be awesome to control the whole shebang
Well I hope someone agrees with me and decides to pick up this request, I also hope that i posted this in the right section?
Thanks for listening, any questions just reply here. Also google thinkflood redeye mini for their website and info about their products.
Come on, anyone?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
I emailed them and they told me that they are starting development on android the beginning on the year
This is highly interesting and old Android phone is both cheaper and more flexible than some overpriced and crappy Logitech remote.
Let's hope Thinkflood releases and Android app soon!
I e-mailed Thinkflood today and got this response:
Thank you for your email. We are in the very early stages of development for Android, and are starting with integration for the Wi-Fi RedEye. Once we have that mastered, we will consider moving onto development for the mini.

Sounds like their still working on Android support.
+1 for this shizzle
Thanks for posting on this old thread and keeping me informed I forgot I made this thread haha.
Nice to know they are currently working on it. This along with my wifi remotes, such as XBMC, Eventghost and MCE Remote will working brilliantly I'll sell my logitech Harmony remote then.
Red Eye for Android is out. But no sign of the mini version. And I dont know of anything similar in the market.
The only issue I have with these mini IR adapters is how powerful they are. Don't get me wrong I'm all for consolidating gadgets, but after setting up Logitech Harmony's, I think they are much better and are worth the extra cost, plus you won't lose the tiny adapters. With that said, if you have an old android phone, this is the perfect mod, no need to throw away that phone!
An a similar note, logitech is releasing an IR blaster that works with their Android App, essentially, so long as your on the same wi-fi network, your phone/app sends commands to the IR blaster which is staged in front of your devices. Very similar to Pear actually.
it sux they spent any time on the wifi version. thats crap. the mini should had been considered first. but of course they want everyone to spend boat loads of money initailly.
Just wanted to know what everyone uses theirs for/plans to use theirs for, so maybe we could share ideas and whatnot.
Personally, I use mine for a few reasons.
The first being is that I'm into photography, and while it's nice to have a physical portfolio to walk around with, I like having a digital one to carry around as well. I also use photoshop mobile sometimes to quickly edit photos on the fly to show to people as I'm taking them.
Another reason is for baseball uses of which I have a few. I can keep score on it using iScore, which is a REALLY nice analysis program. I also plan on using it for MLB At Bat where I can watch games live with my MLB.tv account.
I also use it for the widgets. I have it set up as a digital photo frame at work, but my boss thinks it's a great idea to allow me to have the widgets open which show me the scores of my favorite teams, what people are doing on facebook, the news, etc. That way, I'm not wasting time browsing the web while at work, and I can glance over and find out what I want to know. It's also nice to use as a digital photo frame.
And, of course, I use it as a portable media player.
What do you guys use yours for?
My gtab is my primary device for internet browsing when I'm at home. I let my family use the desktop when all I want to do is go on the internet. I stream a lot of video with my gtab. I also use it for casual gaming and emulators like n64, snes and gba. My gtab is great for long road trips too. It keeps the kids at ease and off my nerves. its a portable entertainment device which pretty much replaced my indash dvd player and headrest monitors. I mean I still have them installed in my car but my kids hardly use it anymore because they rather watch the movies I have on my thumbdrive or play snes, psx,gba with a wiimote.
Browsing forums, news sites and looking up IMDB and Wikipedia while watching telly.
Also for keeping up with work email and Gmail when away from my PC. And occasionally reading twitter.
One day I'll get around to trying out video

Just a suggestion for the new members of the gtablet forum, before you start a new thread, please try the search feature and you would probably discover two things
1) how bad the search is - sorry to say it, it is true that it is hard to find the right info..
2) how much other info you can find.
Good luck and welcome to the club!

Jan 4th was the last post!?!??! that was deep in the bowels of the threads huh? I'm sure we have room on the forums to have another "what do you use your "insert device here"" thread lol
10 people probably had the gtab 3 months ago. Now we have 10,000+ new ones coming lol
I doubt all 10,000 units sold will turn into 10,000 new board members. I'd guess a third of that can be arsed to join, fewer still will have the courage to try the new ROMs.
Personally, I intend to do a lot of reading before I post a bunch of n00b threads about Y CANT I PLAY ASTEROIDZ?? or whatever.

What's the board culture concerning the resurrecting of zombie threads? I know some boards frown on it, some boards have an "age limit" (few months, usually) and some boards don't care.
My tablet I strictly a casual device!!!!fun and surf!!!!
web browsing around the house..email..some gaming...movies in the car on the road. beyond that they are somewhat limited. I really can't understand the rush to spend $800 on a newer model that basically does the same thing.
At least its driving down the price on g tablets so i will probably grab a second soon!

I am not saying you cannot start a new thread, I am saying that there are many good info you can find from the old threads. In some cases, you may find something interesting.. We are getting more people now, and in last weeks, I am seeing a lot of new threads/questions. Good info/discussion/threads are quickly buried deep unless they are sticky. Roebeet or other senior members of the forum are trying hard to info the new members..

Thanks for asking, as a business tool, a digital dashboard. The quickest way to access my c-panel, website, surf the web and respond to communications.
I use mine to carry invoices, data and software for my computer repair business when I'm on the road. I also use it as a car audio Bluetooth stream device directly to my amps. As well a the obvious to keep up on forums, Facebook and surf. And of course to just root and ROM...

I carry mine to work and use it as a Pandora player and weather/news updater so I don't have to use any of my work displays for these things. Also have several remote admin tools to check on servers, etc.
At home, this is hands-down the best bathroom computer in history. All the e-magazines and forums ... and now - streaming movies from Amazon too.
I am also absolutely queer for Wordsmith Free (if you ever play against me, be very afraid!)

Haha this is currently the job of my Evo, but for that morning poo, when I don't have my contacts in, the bigger screen will be a godsend.
Picked this G-tab up on Woot the other day so I could have some kind of device to use while on dialysis. More than likely I'll use it for heavy web surfing, moderate game play, weather, sports, streaming movies to it, portable media player, etc, etc. I'm really looking forward to getting this device. Not so enthused on having to pick between CyanogenMod, Zpad clean, TnT Lite, or VEGAn tab. Going to be tough.
General lightweight use
My workstation is a desktop. So, I use my Gtab mostly around the office for taking notes in meetings, checking email and a lightweight web browsing platform.
For personal use, I like to play 3D games on it and use it as my main kindle reading device.
I do most of my web surfing on mine.
Bought the dock a while back and started using it as a media center as well.
Plus, got a Gametel so I also use it to play all my old favorite 8 and 16 bit games.
Oh, and I let my nephews and nieces play games on it to keep them off my gaming rig.
Since I bought the G Tablet I rarely mess with my pc anymore outside of Borderlands 2 and Skyrim.
I primarily use mine as a very large very cool alarm clock. But also for browsing the web & email.

I use my Gtab for web browsing, e-reading, and email. I'm just starting with app development and it's also a great bargain tablet test platform for me.
I'm currently using mine to collect dust on my desk. It won't power up any longer. No idea why.

Hi there!
I am doing a project at my university where I'm supposed to come up with a bussines plan. The idea me and some friends have come up with is something simmillar to spotify, but for audiobooks.
For this part we need a rough estimate of how much all things would cost. SoI have two questions:
How long would programming an app like this? Roughly how much would such an app cost me to buy?
Note that I'm not acctually looking to buy an app like this, I'm simply looking for some info about what it might cost!
If anyone has some idea, or advice where I can find information, about the cost for the servers etc that would be appreciated, too!
Thanks in advance!
Very tough question. Doing the actual app may take a couple of months for an experienced developer. But then the back-end (server) would also need a lot of work. Will you engineer your own streaming protocol (like spotify) etc etc. So, let's say about 12 months in total for 1 engineer (app + server). Very rough estimate of course. If you manage to get a developer for $100 per hour the cost would something like 1800 hours * $100 = $180000.
Thanks for the input. The thing is all hypothetical. The assignment is to create a plan for a business idea.
I'll just start spitting questions since someone has been kind enough to answer my first I'm really a chemical engineer and can barely call my self a hobby programmer, but hey.. let's go all hypothetical!
Is there any reliable alternative to engineering your own streaming protocol?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
I guess the alternative for you is to skip the streaming part and rely just on download / offline capabilities. That would make the server engineering a lot easier!
I really don't like Apple at all because of their proprietary and self obsessed tendencies. You can't do much of anything that they don't allow you to do. I have been on an Android platform since it came out years ago. That being said I am now producing music and I have been seriously considering getting an Ipad because they have several top notch synth apps and DAW's like Garage Band. The only thing I can find for Android is things that you hit a button and it makes a sound. You can't record into the program or do much of anything. Am I missing something? I would love to stick with Android, but Apple is beckoning me after all these years.
Obviously I am new to the forums, I was discussing this with a guy who told me to come here and if there was a DAW type app you guys would know about it or at least know what is in the works or why it is not coming out.
As a sidenote I have been following this thread on the android Google support forum about this very issue.
If you look up in the android code developers board at code.google dot com /p/android/issues/detail?id=3434 (won't let me post outside links so I had to separate a bunch of stuff .. just fix it to go to the link. it isn't a nefarious link it is google.

No suggestions yet?
Weather you need to make music entirely on phone or you have a studio and you just need more functionality with android devices, I think these two apps can help you.
I'm pretty sure you must have heard of FL Studio Mobile, I've been using it for a long time now and I can say it is the best DAW for Android. It has all the features that you will need as a producer. If your phone is powerful enough then you can produce any genre, there's a few things missing though, like orchestral instruments (there's a very few of those), also synths are not like top notch but they does the job if you are skilled, also Auto-Tune isn't that good yet.
Or you could also try Cubasis 3, it has a free demo version on play store, known as the Cubasis LE. This one is way better and powerful in terms of features but the only reason I wouldn't say it as the best one is that
1. It's not available for all devices.
2. It's really expensive.
But if that doesn't sound like much of a problem, you can try Cubasis, it has more orchestral instruments, better synths, better visuals.
