Is this even possible for android devices? I see it possible for WM phones and other platforms, but not for android.
All the remote control devices i've found are via tcp/ip and i'd rather do something via bluetooth .. I could care less if it's mouse controlled .. I'd want mainly keyboard function for my macbook pro so that I could change the volume (computer volume, not itunes), change songs, mute, stop, play, etc.
I have a HTC EVO on myn's warm 2.2 .. just wondering if this is even at all possible .. i read somewhere that the bluetooth wasn't compatible, but that was a post from 2007.
I use intelliremote on my win7 box /HTPC. I think there's one for Mac to. Its tcp/ip but I thought you mite want to check it out

Someone developed an app for SonyEricsson phones:

Would be very cool if someone could do the same for the XDA II / IIs. 8) There's gotta be enough coders here who could manage this.
Would love to lie in bed and control my WinAMP playlist using my XDA II to suit my mood. (Or better to control my wife's mood with my WinAMP playlist? )
pocketpc have an program which is called
therminal services which does that
if one dont like that then there is also pocketVNC which does it aswell
i think there are many other programs which does it aswell
No, it's not so much a slow, bloaty remote-desktop program like NetOp or VNC or similar. It's more like a remote-control (IR-type) keypad which can be programmed to send specific commands to your PC over Bluetooth.
Those remote-desktop programs are just too slow and unworkable on this tiny screen IMHO.
then i guess it comes down to what you want to control is it just audio or is it a spc audio program like winamp
i guess it's just a matter of a program on the pc which just speak with a com port it dont know that it's using bluetooth at all
and a program on the pocketpc which also speak with a com port and send stuff that the pc program interp and control what ever have to be controled
maybe there are programs like that al ready

Thanks for the links, Rudegar. Interesting reading...
The Jeyo one for the SonyEricsson phones can control anything, it seems...
Salling Clicker
My boss used a program to control his Apple computer, by using his palm-tungsten or his sony-ericsson t610.
That nifty piece of software is called Salling Clicker

Unfortunately, Jonas Salling is only into macOS and SymbianOS, and not into windowsXP and PocketPC :-(
But if anyone is looking for inspiration for such a tool, this is a great start![/url]
Is anyone up for the challenge of getting Salling Clicker to work for the XDA II?
(Please say yes, 'cause I just set my room up so my bed points at my computer display so I can watch DVDs etc.)
Cheers,

I use Total Input Elite Edition to control my laptop - I use it as a bluetooth remote control to control WinDVD, WinAmp and WinTV. The downside is with the built-in bluetooth stack you have to activesync over bluetooth if you want to create a network connection with the laptop and Total Input is a bit slow loading themes (there's a limit of four).

If u only want to remote control winamp why dont try RemoteAmp? Works great!

Hmm, looking at that link...
Is it possible to use the infra-red port of the XDA II to control the TV/VCR/CD Player etc? I seem to remember someone saying a while ago that the IR Port isn't powerfull enough.
Is it possible?

Hi,
Is there a piece of software that lets me use my phone as an LCD screen/monitor for my computer? Ideally, i'd like to stream movies from my pc to the screen of my HTC phone (trinity atm), bt would like to use the speakers of my main computer.
Thanks,
James
The closest things I can think of would be using a remote desktop/VPN app to get to your PC. Video over VPN is a problem though - it typically doesn't work very well for a number of reasons. Your other choice would be to use a media streaming app on your PC and stream to TCPMP or Windows Media Player on your phone.
Neither of these solutions is anything like "using my phone as an LCD monitor" though.
yeah i dont think therminal services support the overlays that video use
nor DX as in directmedia stuff
another problem with streaming it while playing it on pc to use it's speakers would be to make sure the audio and video was in sync
of cause to get around that one could use a htc audio to 3.5minijack and feed the sound from the pda back into the pc's line in and have it play like that
of cause that raise the problem with the cable having to be pretty long otherwise i guess one could just watch it on the pc
I think that this server was not supported.
I agree with you Stream the videos from your PC... And if you have bluetooth on your PC, you can use the A2DP-service(BT stereo) to stream the sound back... But this will most likely fail because the use of A2DP is a real CPU-killer on our trinity... (Which will cause the video to no be shown, or be very lagging...)
you can try http://www.innobec.com/en/index.php
but this only works at WinXP or lower.
and it seems the program is not longer updated.

Excellent!!!!! This is *exactly* what I was looking for!
Many thanks =)
Now that is cool!
I wonder if it works with WM6.
Would be great for putting a voice comms app (ventrilo / teamspeak) on the PDA screen when I am gaming on my PC - that way I can see who is speaking.
I have a fairly new Sony receiver that I really do love & I'm just not ready to give it up & shell out for a new DLNA receiver even though the tv and bluray are DLNA, I really don't want to go buy more cables and have to run & route everything through my TV and always have it on just to listen to music.
I do have a lot of old Windows Mobile devices laying around. So, I was wondering if anyone had a way to use the BT or WIFI & one of the old WM devices to either remotely control my Android device, or any SW that would allow me to use my android device as a media server, controlled by windows mobile?
Any ideas?
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.
Hey all!
I would like to know if there is a way to create a linux computer, which would communicate to a Android tablet for input/output functions.
Ideally I envision a small (like mini PC) linux computer sitting in my room. The tablet would be dockable to it it- where it would act as a simple touchscreen interface for the linux computer. Press a button, and the tablet can be removed as an Android tablet.
The tablet could access files (like music) on the linux computer and hopefully control something like a sound card also.
Perhaps a linux computer could run android? The tablet portion would simply be a wireless touchscreen essentially.
Any thoughts?
I haven't done much of that, but I'm sure that it is possible. Also, the Lenovo U1 comes close, although that is a laptop with Windows instead of Linux.
the majority of the functions would not be needed through a hardware I/O interface, all you would need is client server software on both devices.. If you really had to use a hardware interface you could use USB host mode i suppose and create a tcp/ip connection but this could be done over WiFi or Bluetooth.
android devices can already control many features of windows box's like vlc remote, xbmc, boxee and many more, it can also control the desktops mouse..
Linux wise, it shouldn't be much different..
You could just create a custom ui with loads of buttons that go to macros on the machine doing things like volume 0 -50 -100% etc
The lenovo U1 is tight!
What about more of the tablet just being the remote for a computer basically.
Take sound processing for instance- Android only does 2 channel and has very little in processing abilities- power amp is the most I've seen.
In a computer environment however, you can have way more channels, and lot more options like crossovers, time delay, parametric EQ, filters, etc. Things I doubt are possible on an android since they often require sophisticated sound cards not to mention eat up battery if they were possible.
What I want is to have a computer do that processing work, but have a simple tablet control the programs on the computer. I'd prefer to not have a custom UI since I like how people are very comfortable with android and it works very well. Also- perhaps you could use your phone to also control the computer.
I envision this:
A user would be laying in their bed, grab the tablet and select some music from the computer hard drive. Then they could control the sound and playback devices from the tablet. The processed sound from the computer goes to a home receiver as a digital signal, and the room fills with perfect sound. Then they decide they want to watch a blue ray. They toss it in the computer and it plays on their tablet with the sound coming from the receiver.
Have you thought about running vnc. or another type of remote desktop software , you could have the desktop wired up to the receiver etc , and just tell the computer to play the music or movie from the tablet .
Most remote desktop software have very crappy frame rates so playing back video this way kinda sucks but logmein ignition does surprisingly well on my tab211 when controlling my mac to do very similar things
( sorry I missed that post from anarchyuk completely , I was reading through pretty quick and missed it , so you can ignore this post )
Sounds like what I do with my android tablets via Skifta (free on Android Market0 using DLNA protocol.
Skifta app is installed on my EVO3D phone, Kindle Fire (running ICS Beta), and TF201.
When Skifta starts, you select your media source. In my case, 10TB Synology 411j running built-in DLNA media server.
Then select the Playback device. Which could be the tablet itself, my HTPC (XBMC/win7 connected to my home theater), or straight to my TV (Samsung LN46C750 has ethernet and accepts DLNA push request.)
Once source and playback targets are set, I just browse to whatever music or video I want and boom,it plays.
Highly recommend the Synology rigs. They also have built-in Dynamic DNS and OpenVPN server. Their DS Audio app (also free) allows my phone to connect back to my NAS over cellular network and play any song on the NAS via streaming.
Heck, if you plug an USB sound card like the SIIG audiowave 7.1 into the Synology's USB port, it can be an DLNA audio playback device, too.
