Thing is my Xperia x10 has bluetooth, so why can't I make it receive the controller's signal and transmit it through USB? There must be a way to make it like a Bluetooth receiver. Do you guys know how?

wow, that is a custom software job for sure, one that is almost surely not going to work simply because the MotionJoy drivers are finnicky when it comes to bluetooth controllers.
Let me tell you from experience, you want to purchase a cheap USB dongle, one that is known to work with the MotionJoy ps3 drivers if you want any chance of getting your ps3 controller to work wirelessly with your PC. I got one for like $5-10 bucks. Save yourself the trouble and do the same.

=(
It would be soo interesting lol. But actually on the phone's part it's not that complicated, it just needs a software to make it a bluetooth receiver!

you have to install third party bluetooth apk in order to make it a receiver, you can find in at the market...cheers

I've searched for it, but without success. Which apk is it?

So as to not clutter the board with duplicate requests: I was wondering if this can be done on Windows Mobile as well? Would anyone know some apps/hacks that might enable this?

ds3 controller to non-bluetooth pc
Rooted android device > sixaxis controller app > then the droidmote app and Corresponding pc receiver

Trying to do the same but with just a regular generic phone gamepad. Any update to solutions involving this?

Is it possible to enable the USB host function? I have a GPS USB mouse, and I would like to connect to my htc wizard.

I am also interested...
I have a Sirf Star II bt dongle, which has a mini usb port. I dont know if I could connect to it via mini usb with my HTC Wizard, and of course use it for GPS Navigation. The reason I want to do this is that I only want to give power supply to my Wizard, not both of the devices
I'm sure this is a rellay interesting thing, not only for GPS mouse USB, but also for USB hard disk and so on....
I'm almost sure that the hardware have the possibility to be used with host function, but I don't know if there are some specific driver to install...
I hope that some guru of this forum should help us..
nope
for my knowledge- there is no posibility of any (undocumented) usb host avilability for our devices. (chip, schematics e.t.c)- I'm 99% shure 4 that.
try Eten m600 or qtek 9000...
According to this diagram, the OMAP850 supports USB Host and Client, so with the proper drivers and cables it should be able to connect to and use USB devices
There is also some discussion about it over here http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/661

Tablets W/SIM card add On and General ?s W/Tablets

Ok so my ?s are what tablest can have the add on to use you sim card? I seen a table adams notion ( something like that) that was able to use a 3g USB modem. Has any one tried that, and how is it?
I know the Black Berry has that option about adding the bridge which is like a tethering. But could you just use any table that has a usb port and get a 3g usb modem to put your sim card into and use the data of that.

What about adding VOIP? to tablets and how hard it is to add if you can, Over all how could you really use your tablet to make and receive calls?. Besides using skype, and whats good for conference calling/ meeting app:
Now for tethering, So lets say I buy the galaxy 10.1 (wifi) and I want to @ least have the option to tether what is the easy way going about it? IE: I have a rooted htc inspire which will allow me to tether. But if someone does not have a rooted phone what other way other then Hotspots that they can use, or can the use their mobile air card thats usb IF their tablet has USB slot, and if supports the drive to be installed? But also what if they had an Iphone and a android tablet they can still use tether does not matter iphone or not?.
Samsung Galaxy 10.1 any way to add more memory I have been looking and I know its still new but is their something that its an "adapter" to use for the micro sd card.
Also on that not lets say you have a Android tablet and you have Google TV, now I know the google tv has android market and you can transfer apps and etc etc.. Can you use the tablet to control like direct tv I seen the app for it but for tablet usage. And has any you use the google tv and how do you like it what can you do with the market place, I know you can buy apps and send it to you phone and it should work the same way with tablets, Correct me if Im wrong lol.. Just looking for other Info on the use of Googel TV and using tablets.
I know Samsung All share (http://www.samsung.com/global/allshare/pcsw/index.html) works nice what I heard. But its limited to samsung products. Has anyone used that before and how is it.
Thanks for any info, and thanks for sharing ideas .
Mods can we move this to the general tablet area.

Possible to use IP camera in car with mobil hotspot?

So I am installing a htc flyer tablet into my cars dash to use as navigation/entertainment etc..
I was lookign around for anyway to have a rearview camera display on the tablet but have come up empty.
Im wondering though. If I took a wireless IP camera and installed in the car and figured out the power issue. Could I then turn on my phones mobil hotspot and then use a ip camera app on the tablet to view the camera?
Not sure if the camera would connect to internet with phone the same way as a router.
Anyone know?
IP Cam
I use IP Cam Viewer
I use it in my home to keep an eye on my security cameras when I'm gone.
Your problem will likely be port-forwarding past the mobile hotspot... not sure how it's set up but I did accomplish it once, in a Sprint hotspot device.
You have several "if's" there but I think you could make it happen. The good thing is that you can test it for free and registration of the app is only a few dollars.
-s
I would be interested to know if this works as well. I'd like to monitor my horses back in the trailer. I assume the camera would get a local ip address from wireless tether. I wonder could this local address be used in a web browser or app like ipcam viewer. someone has to have tried this. guess I could by a cheap ip camera and try it but, it would be nice to know before wasting any money.
Its possible to make Foscam IP cameras to broadcast and connect via Adhoc. Doesn't hurt that they run of 5V at 2 A. That lets you use a usb cable off of ebay and cigarette charger for power. I also picked up an FI9821W, SDCard and 10000maH battery pack with 2A port off of amazon for a UPS sort of battery backup and buffer, we'll see how that works out for a while. Too bad eye-fi doesn't work. Honestly, doesn't see too practical in my mind, we'll see. For extra points though, noticed that the bottom has a hookup for a mount you can use on your dash, windshield, or air vents.

screen mirroring

I am mainly interested in this app for the purpose of screen mirroring. I use the Torque app while in my vehicle, which also has a touchscreen Windows 8 computer. I am searching for an effective solution to mirror the screen. Since this will be used while traveling I will have to use the phone WIFI tether to enable the connection.
Does Airdroid offer a USB tether option? It would be great to have this. My monitor only has a VGA connection. If it had an HDMI connection I could just plug in a cable from the phone but it does not. I am not really worried about the FPS rate as I am not watching videos from the phone, and the lag isn't really an issue either....
Thanks
I've moved your post to this new thread.
AirDroid does offer USB tether option, just follow these steps:
1) Connect your Android to your computer with a USB cable.

}
2) Enable USB tethering. The detailed steps may vary for different devices, but should be similar: Go to Settings> WIRELESS & NETWORKS> MORE> Tethering & portable hotspot and check the box next to USB tethering.
3) Open AirDroid on your device, go to Tools tab, and press Tethering. A new AirDroid url like “http://192.168.42.129:8888” will be displayed.
4) Visit the full url above on your computer web browser to start using AirDroid.
You can find it in our help center http://help.airdroid.com/customer/portal/articles/1296187-how-to-use-airdroid-without-wi-fi-or-other-network-connection
If you don't care about fps, then TeamViewer might be what you are looking for. They offer screen mirroring, but it is really laggy and way to slow to play game on, but for torque it might do the trick
Message has been Baconized
Teamviewer will be a functional solution as a base, but I would wonder if the interface will be sufficient. It's gesture controlled with a mouse-style format. If you need to interact you may well find it difficult to drive and control the unit and maintain the focus necessary to drive safely.
I don't know enough about Torque or your specific needs in regard to it to make a good assessment but do try it as Gormsen suggested and please post back some thoughts and/or details so others in your situation or similar have some info to go on. I would imagine as someone thinking about implementing your type of setup having some input before dropping significant cash on it would be tremendously helpful
Good luck..

PX30 dongle locked down

Hi, maybe somebody can help me a bit, just hope I post in the right forum. I have a C5 wireless dongle with a PX30 (RK3326-S) chip. Problem is, device is working perfectly except, that Google Assistant voice is cut (navi and music works perfectly). I already was in contact with their support, they send me an APK to change the Output from Google Assistant from phone call to music, but also didn't help. By the way, that's was the only APK I could install, all others will fail, see below.
So I wanted to try to install Headunit reloaded but regardless if tried via Play Store or direct, installation fails. That's the same for every other programm I tried (app not installed, regardless if via Play Store or direct).
I then thought, give it a try to disable USB Audio routing in developer options, but it's not possible to enable developer options the standard way. I the read that using "adbon" in factory settings menu should maybe enable Developer options, but when using that, device restarts, but the screen of the car stays blank. When using the root command (*#hct#root#) gives just a "wrong password" error. When using m123456, I can at least enter the additional settings, but that doesn't help here.
So I really would like to have a ROM where I can install my own Apps on, so if somebody could point me in the right direction, it would be great. Following thinks to take into consideration from my point of view:
1. as it's just a Dongle, up to now I only can get a graphical output in the car itself
2. on current ROM not possible to install additional apps (the one I got from manufacture support was the only exception)
3. even if it's possible to install another ROM, as it's not a Head unit, but just a Dongle, I would also need he programms for mirroring to Car screen (also I'm not new to rooting etc, I have no clue about this Dongles) - is this included in the MCU?
This C5 device seems to be sold under different brands, see 2 links below, attached also 3 Fotos from the board and current Software.
