AVRCP media control module (no A2DP needed, just want to remotely control media)

Hey guys,
Not sure if this exists, or if someone could point me to a product which does what I'm looking for. Basically, I want a device that will connect via Bluetooth to my HTC Uni, and use the remote control functions of AVRCP to allow me to pause/play/next/prev/etc. via this little remote control. I do NOT need the device to do A2DP, as I already hard-wire in the speakers.
I know there may not be much of a need, but I want this functionality for when I go snowboarding, and I keep my HTC Uni in my jacket pocket (in an aluminum case of course!). I already have headphones in my touque/hat, so they would be connected directly to my Uni, then I wanted a device that I could strap to my wrist or jacket which I could hit "next/prev track, etc."
I am thinking that without the A2DP streaming music, I might be able to save on battery, as the device would only be a "Bluetooth AVRCP Media Remote". I tried searching the net for the past 4 hours, but came up with nothing.
The only device that almost caught my attention was the Motorola S705 Bluetooth Soundpilot, but it has a headphone connection on it (I just want the AVRCP remote control functionality).
Now maybe I am dreaming, since I've never actually played with an A2DP/AVRCP device before, so I'm not even sure if the headset port on my Uni would become deactivated if an A2DP/AVRCP device were to connect with the phone.
EDIT: I've actually found a picture of the setup that I'm talking about from the official Bluetooth page:
(it's the 2nd pic, note the fine print: "* the audio stream is not handled in this profile"...what i need!)

It just refers to that you also need to have A2DP support. However, the two may not be separated - unless someone has managed to "hack" this.
If nothing else works, you might want to give a try to UPnP, along with a remote controllable player like Conduits Pocket Player. Note that it doesn't use AVRCP but UPnP and might only work via Wi-Fi (I haven't tested it over BT PAN).
See my UPnP Bible for more info.

Thanks for your reply Menneisyys,
Now I understand a bit more about how those technologies work, and although I wasn't in dire need of such a controller, I appreciate your information.
I do use CorePlayer, and I have heard that it supports AVRCP, but until I can get a controller-only piece of hardware, I probably won't keep looking into this (only to get my hopes up).
Wouldn't it be great though to have a small iPod-like device that could control your phone via BT? Think about the situations where you might have your phone wired to a nice speaker system, but are chilling outside. You wouldn't even have to aim the remote!
I am thinking too far outside of the box now though, and if I only had the means, time and most importantly, knowledge, to create such a device, I would be ALL over it!
Hopefully someone has read into this, and maybe we'll see such a device down the line....for now, it's more waiting time!

connect via wifi, open the app, agree to terms, it will ask you to turn off wifi and sign in, let it sign in, turn on wifi and use

Works, but what's this business about a subscription? Seriously, I'll hang with youtube or dailymotion at the moment. I really don't think I need to be charged for mobile tv considering how much the carriers are taking it out of our asses with regular service and data. Not to mention sucking up my limit for the month and then running me into overages.

when at home or whenever possible .. jump on wifi .. when im at home i watch all kind of live streams on my nexus with wifi and plays smooth as butter ..
whether it be live streams of movies for channelsurf or nfl football,nba, or regular tv shows its all good...
since its over wifi doesn't affect your tmobile or whatever carrier u have data limit

Got it working on mine. It keeps asking for the subscription thing. Theres some decent free stuff on it, but most of it you need a subscription for. Cool app none the less, thanks.

this would just be perfect as someone mentioned before if it could be hacked, so it isn't a trial and is free.

took a little bit of playing around with but now its working great

Wont work on CyanogenMOD6 (Kang-0-rama v1.0)
BOOO!!! no tv app ever work

Well, I got it working on the mytouch 3G slide. The only problem is that the display is a little smaller, so some of it gets cut off. The live TV works just fine, and if I tap the video it centers it full screen... It still cuts a little off at the bottom (or some on the right side if it's not full screen)
Is there a way to shrink that down a bit so it doesn't get cut off?

installed> accepted trial> started watching limited TV on 3G. Its a good start.

i cant see the trial subscription page...am i the only one?

[Q] Tether connecting but does not work?

Hello guys, I'm new to the site and I just have 1 question (that I have googled for about 3 hours without success).
I just got my G2X and rooted it via superoneclick as soon as I got it. I am having problems with the wifi tethering and have read that tmobile has filtered tethering on plans without the plan but I refuse to believe that they would be able to filter 3rd party tethering apps. I have tried about 4 different third party apps and the stock program. They always send out a signal but cannot connect to anything (tried on 2 different laptops). Can someone shed some light on what's going on? any help is greatly appreciated.

I noticed to get the built in tether program working for my netbook I had to do an "ipconfig /release" then an "ipconfig /renew" from the command line after wifi had connected.
The wifi tethering program from the google code site worked out of the box but protection wouldn't work, and I had no desire to share my phone to the whole hotel

What do you mean protection doesn't work? Thr set password works fine for me

I'm getting crazy with the wifi thetering.
yesterday everything was working fine, including protection.
Today is not working. I made 2 reset. I have always error in portable wifi hotspot

Now I'm able to connect the notebook to the wifi tetheting, I'm using Open Garden Wifi Tether.
I'm still not able to connect the blackberry

It would show two networks, one protected, one not, the protected one didn't work and anyone could connect to the unprotected one

I pay for tethering on one of my phones (mine) and am trying it now for the 1st time....very fast. Wouldn't connect at first then I let windows do a troubleshoot and it corrected the issue. Seems to work well. I've been having a lot of power failures this year so want to ensure my wife can have internet for her work.
But I think I've read that the providers can't prevent tethering apps from working. Haven't I heard they are preventing the tethering apps from being seen through their Market apps?
They may detect the extra usage though.

[Q] [ISSUE] Gtalk, Market, Gmail, Sync... nothing work over wifi

Hi
For the last two days i had a lot of issues with the G_Apps, everythings worked perfectly since before yesterdar, then:
> I couldn't enter in GTALK;
> the market purchases didn't download;
> new email didn't notify me neither appear...
I was trying to reconnect and reconnect... searched some possible solutions (wipe cache, clear data...) but nothing worked.
I had, all the time, internet over wifi, and i could go the the browser without issue in the navigation...
I realise then that the WIFI icon were not Blue (as usual) but Grey (see screenshot, some kind of limitations??) i don't know...
Today i did two HARD RESETS, with the first one it worked during sometime (the icon return to blue status) but i couldn't get into the market in the TF (but in my computer i could buy and was installed in my TF)... however sometime after the issue reappeared...
NOW: Grey icon, internet in the browser, no internet on the Gtalk, market, Gmail, Dropbox...
what should i do?

Blue WiFi bars mean that you're connected both to the Internet and Google services (e.g. Gmail), grey is just Internet - hence your lack of Gmail connectivity despite normal web browsing working (although it's odd that Dropbox also doesn't work in this scenario). Could you please provide some more info on your particular setup? Is your TF rooted (and if so what ROM/kernel are you running) or are you running on the same stuff you had in the box?

Suddenly having similar issues today. Bought the device last week and had no problems. Suddenly today no mail sync and market not working properly. I always get the message that i need to login in order to authenticate although I am logged in. Cant download anything. Hope it's an issue on Googles side. Having stock Rom and no changes.

Hi
Thank you.
My TF is not rooted and the ROM is the in the box oficial Asus Rom...

I had this issue with my Transformer. I think it's the same one anyway.
If you can open Gmail, does your inbox show you having messeges, but the messeges not appear? If you then go to All Mail, are they there? For me they were, but tapped to open, they wouldn't display.
I'm sorry to say, only a factory reset fixed this issue for me. First appeared about two weeks after purchase, after the reset it's been just over a week and still going ok for me.

suddenly, it works...
i went out for a few hours and when i'd come back, the Gapps worked... the wifi icon is now blue again and it seems that everything is fine...
i didn't make a backup so now i must reinstall all apps due the previous hard resets...

TinyWeb - Web Browser

Hey all!
So today I found this app which should let browse the web. The TinyWeb - which is the name - is nicely written and intuitive application with english menu and set of bookmarks from the beginning. Also it is a standalone app.

Seems awesome? Yes. BUT there is this little problem - it cannot access network for me. I tried using Gear S2 classic with connection to the phone (LTE) and without phone (Gear's WiFi). But it doesn't work.
Does it work for You?
I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE APP NOR ADVERTISING IT

You have to disable bluetooth connection with wifi connection on. Works fine once you do that.

It works for me, but only with a direct Wifi connection (not trough the phone).

Same here. Seems like this may be related to that of below. Maybe Gear Manager for generic Android (not samsung) is missing the bluetooth / host-wifi bridge as there is no setting for it on my Xperia.
stackoverflow.com/questions/33849806/tizen-standalone-wearable-app-with-internet-access

I get an error when trying to install.
W0:WO:-1005

Where do I find this? I don't see it in the play store.

@Firehead thanks for the tip! It does work now, cool
@mills23 it is in the Samsung's shop for Gear S2. Maybe not available for Your region or something.

I am using gear s2
And in it also tinyweb is not working on both Bluetooth and WiFi

Seems to only work with wifi on however I don't need to disable bluetooth but would be better if it did work via bluetooth hopefully in a future update. Also was a pain to log into Facebook, most of the time the keyboard popped up but then disappeared after like a second and the times it did stay up I'd type my email (which isn't a quick thing to do on the S2 keyboard) to find it didn't actually enter anything in the text box. Though finally did get myself logged in but then when I went to go on it later it didn't keep me logged in so still a few issues.
Also would like if when zoomed in I could pan right the way to the corners of the webpage.

It works on s2 gear 3g in 3g mode. I'm impressed with this app considering the limitations of the tiny circular screen.
Props to the dev!

I installed it on my gear and then someone try to login to my emails account and etc.. Maybe by brute force. I changed my password everywhere for sure. So be carefulle after instalation of this app.

Could someone made a video showing TinyWeb in action for other users please .

It works now with the BT version, connection, so no need to switch to wifi only.
Was able to read the news and go on facebook. No brute force so far.
TinyWeb is no longer in the app store, is it unsafe to use then?

Is there any place/way to get a copy of tinyweb?

Sad. Was free and people complain. Probably none browser for smartwatch will never been so good like desktop browsers. No way. I need Web browser for my S2 and there is none in samsung store but million ugly watch faces. I am going to cry...

I have this app (TinyWeb) installed on my Smartwatch.
If someone explain me how to, i can extract the app.

Question
How do hoy have Facebook and these apps on your gear s2? Are there another Store for gear s2?
