[Q] Use Phone as Bluetooth Headset/Speakers - General Questions and Answers

Hi All....
Glad to be part of such an effective forum.
I've already searched the forum for what i want. Hence starting a new topic.
What i want to do is:
- Play something on my PC. i.e., a movie file.
- Listen to it over BLUETOOTH on my Android phone
WiFi, Internet is not an option for me.
Reason:
I've a new 24' Display and hence wanna view it at a distance using my phone to do the wireless work over bluetooth.
I've used GRemote Pro. Its to just control your pc's mouse pointer mostly.
I need audio to be streamed over to the phone.
Specs:
Win 7 32 Bit
Android 2.2 Phone. SGS i9000.
I've added my query as a general question as it must be the same for all android phones
Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Somniloquist

[Q]

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.

Question about functions I'm looking for

Hey all, I'm looking to get a Tab 10.1, as I'd like a portable device that can hold movies. One that I can watch them on, and one that I can USB to my xbox or a friend's blu-ray player. I'd also like to be able to use a Torrent client and d/l straight to the device.
So my questions are:
1) I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but Android (the Tab specifically), can function as mass storage can it not?
2) Is there a Torrent client that can be used on it?
3) Does the Tab have XviD/DivX/avi/mp4, etc support?
Many thanks.
No one? That's too bad...
why not u post this on galaxy tab dedicated subforum instead?

Any driver to control the MHL from the PC?

Sorry for my English .. Hello everyone first of all.
I have a HTC Sensation and I like to control from a touch screen, using this connector MHL, I read that in the Ice Cream Sandwich version that I have installed, you can now control is provided through an USB port.
The truth did not know very well where to place this post, but I think the media is the main function and see if you're lucky, the idea is to propose or if anyone knows, the android can control from your PC, as the case Samsung TVs that recognize the application MHL Device Anynet + (post link). The idea is to connect mobile phone to a computer with a touch screen and control it from the screen contenplando the quality of this type of connection and future applications, CarPC, game systems, internet browsers.
So far the closest I've seen is through a remote program or Android QtADB Commander, but they perform a virtualization and graphics functions are very limited (videos, photos, games, etc. ..).
An interesting idea would be that an application for Android was able to control the touch screen driver THROUGH USB host our phones, this topic is more interesting and juicy indeed already been mentioned in some places but unfortunately I guess we have to wait to get the ICS to Partin, do not you think?.
For those interested in the latter is here.
Greetings.

[Q] REMOTE CONTROL APP for Galaxy Note 10.1?

Hi,
I'm new to the forums, so bear with me if I'm not following any rules in particular.
I've had my Windows 8 Phone for a while now (Nokia Lumia 920) and I like it. I got a Galaxy Note 10.1 recently (not the 2014 edition) and like it a lot as well. I teach dance classes, and play my music from my tablet. The thing is, I have to explain dance moves etc. in the class every so often, and have to start and stop the music every few minutes. The tablet has to be connected to the sound input for the overhead speakers in the room, which is in the corner of the room. I have to stand in the middle of the room to explain all these things. Walking back and forth just isn't working out, because I have to start/stop the music several times in an hour.
I was hoping to the able to control the music on my Galaxy Note 10.1 using my Lumia 920. Is that even possible? I'm really hoping there is a way to do this. All I would need is to be able to play and pause the music, and pick songs if possible.
If there isn't a way to control music on the note 10.1 using my Lumia, is there any kind of other way to control music/other content on my note 10.1?
Thanks guys.
Try Vectir...
Infrared (IR) is out of the question as the Note 10.1 can only transmit, not receive.
There might be some bluetooth app with which you can control it but the range is limited to about 10 metres.
Another, and the best bet, might be using wifi remote control.
Check out Vectir Wifi Remote Control.
Connect your two device to the same lan or you can set up an ad-hoc wifi connection.
Install the app in windows phone play around to get it working.
I don't own a windows phone so i can't tell you the exact steps.
All the best!!
Sorry...it is only for controlling Windows PC/Laptops
Maybe try Teamviewer.
Use splashtop!

What he wants is this.
Note 10.1 running android 4.1.2 is the server.
Nokia Lumia running windows 7 or 8 is the client.
So I don't think Splashtop or Teamviewer will work.
So far my findings are all remote controls are either to control Note 10.1 from desktop or control the desktop from Note 10.1 only using wifi.
There is a team viewer host edition for android, so TV is indeed a possible solution. The navigation is still a bit wonky from using another phone as the client, but for simple button toggling it should work just fine.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.

[Android MK809IV 2G/8GB HDMI Stick] Google Voice Not Working [RESOLVED!]

Hello everyone, I have recently purchased a MK809IV Android 4.4.2 HDMI Stick via ebay. It works perfectly for streaming 720P Netflix, youtube and web browsing; EXCEPT for voice input (via Bluetooth headset with Microphone). I was hoping to minimize my dependence on a keyboard by using Google Voice whenever possible. However; this particular device is not detecting any audio input device. As a result, google voice is not launching/running; it just closes a few seconds after I run it. This is a real shame as I was hoping to browse the web or check my e-mail using google voice while gaming on my PC...
I have attached images to provide more information regarding this particular Android Stick and my issue. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I apologize in advance for posting links in this thread; however, I feel that it's more inappropriate to make 10 random posts that won't contribute or help anyone to meet the requirements for said links. I just want to provide as much information as possible to the community regarding this issue. I feel that these Android HDMI sticks has exceptional potential for their small price tag.

Update Edit: After further testing; I found out that my Kinovo Bluetooth headset (with mic) requires a driver that automatically downloads on my phone, my friend's phone and also my cheapo android tablet. However, the driver is not detected/downloading on this HDMI Stick. I have since found a Plug and Play USB Audio adapter that works with my HDMI stick. HOWEVER; even though the audio INPUT device IS detected and I was able to make audio recordings, Google Voice is still not working; every time I run/launch the app, it closes almost INSTANTLY.

Update 2.0 : Ok, I've got this ironed out and it's all working perfectly now! I came across the link below on Google's website
support.google.com/websearch/answer/6031948?hl=en
Which states the following requirements:
Google app version 3.5+
Android 4.4+ (KitKat)
Voice & Audio Activity setting turned on
Since I met the 2nd and 3rd requirement, I tried updating Google App via the play store; google voice is now working and running without a hitch! This device is now perfect for my intended applications!
My current setup is as follows if anyone is interested!
Currently running a triple monitor setup with the third monitor on the right connected to the Android Stick and my PC. (from left to right: 22" Portrait Mode, 24" BenQ 144Hz Landscape and 24" Landscape). When I'm gaming, I switch from my DVI (PC) output to HDMI (Android Stick); this allows me to check my e-mail, google for information, play music, watch youtube guides, etc). Also, the USB Plug n play audio adapter I linked earlier; has a mute switch for the Mic. This maximizes the usability for my devices.
I can provide photos of my setup upon request. Thanks for reading!
