[Q] Use android phone as microphone for PC - General Questions and Answers

First of all, I have to say that I checked some posts about this thread and didn't found any help.
Then my question is simple: There is any way, like an app or setup to use my phone as a microphone to use it with Skype and TS3 on my PC.
Thanks for advice.

u can use an app called Microphone.
i use it when i cant find a mic for my desktop and i want to game with my friends on steam.
note: There is a bit of lag with it, and I don't recommend using this without plugging it into something.

Remote Access to PC

Hi guys,
I use my touch pro for numerous official reasons and projects. It could be anything, starting from a powerpoint presentation to a report writing and all those. However, I still need to carry my laptop around just to be sure that I have all the files and everything when I'm on the move.
That gave me an idea, was wondering if there is any method or an application, that I probably can make use of, to access my laptop remotely over wifi or internet. So that I can copy a file to and from my touch pro whenever is required...!!!
Thanks for any input...
That's the best roundup I found so far:

Enjoy
you can always make an adhoc connection with your laptop
and use resco explorer to copy files off a shared drive on the laptop
usee I actually wanna keep my laptop at home switched on during my work time and wanna access it from my office with the touch pro for file sharing purposes. is that possible by any means?
yeah, youll need to use port forwarding in your router
Hey thanks for that link It did work, I installed logmein and its working so far, but I have a small query. Does the free version get over after a certain period? And if does then can I reactivate it?
I've been using logmein now for years and the free verison does not expire.

Ultimate Start - new Start Menu and Skype audio routing

Guys, there is one very good application released on PocketGear. I have it on my s740 and apart from being perfect new Start Menu with some very very useful features it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active. Also it has Task and Process Manager and it is fully animated. Just wanted to let you know.
Here are some screenshots and detail description.
Skype
by the way "it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active": long time ago I read a thread (I'm not sure if it was a Vox thread about skype problem. I think there was a way to find a solution without using ultimate start....
Unfortunately I can't find it again. Can anybody help how to use Skype without backside loudspeaker ? Or does anybody know in which tweak is the explanation to solve problem ?

There is no tweak to do that. You need some application to do it for you. And there are not many applications that can do that. But that's just a bonus feature of Ultimate Start. Start Menu part of the application is really something.
hello Callah,
yes I saw that feature in Ultimate start. But I don't like the generell function - the modified start menu (I tried the demo version).
And so it don't make sense for me to buy this tool only to to fix Skype problem. Does anybody else a way or a tool to fix Skype earpiece bug? Would be nice if such a tool is freeware.
Regards Odiad
if you want skype and the earpiece:
Use Nimbuzz
Amazing multi messenger, supporting almost all im's AND skype AND SIP and uses the normal earpiece!!!

I would love to here what you don't like about the start menu. I find it very useful.
Thanks
Hi Callah,
my test of Ultimate Start was quite short because Demoversion of tool didn't allow so many process steps. But that was not so important.
One reason why I don't like the tool was that I prefer the start menu as a list, not grid view. But if Ultimate Start would be so excellent that I could say "wow thats it" - then I could also accept grid view.
And second reason was that in test, when I pressed start menu, I had to wait a little bit until start menu appears. And thats annoying for me. The S710 seems to be a little bit too slow to show good performance. I don't know if it is the same on all S710, but in case of my phone it was so (WM6.5.3 from fireburned).
So that are my reasons why I don't like it.
Regards Odiad

Thanks. What I like about it is T9 search of whole start menu. I don't know if you tried it. It is just like in Contacts. You can get to almost any application or bookmark in just 2-3 key presses.
That second reason you mentioned...I agree. Reason for slow start is probably because application is written in Compact Framework. But...good thing is that you need to wait that long only once when you turn on your phone (my phone is always on). After that application stays in memory just like default start menu and activates fast when you click Start again.
I have read some bad comments about UI on some forums, some people describing it as Windows 3.1 style. But I can't disagree more on that. I think it looks very good. But that maybe just a question of taste.
It looks like many developers are dropping prices (possibly because of WP7). This application is now only 1$, 80% off!

Bluetooth Intercom App

I know this is an absolute shot in the dark but i just want to give it a try in case someone knows anything about this.
1. I'm wondering whether its actually possible to have 2 bluetooth headsets connected and working to a WM phone at the same time.
2. This would only apply if the answer to the first question is yes. Is there an app that would let audio between the two headsets through, just like an intercom.
What I really want is to pair two bluetooth headsets to my touch dual and have them work as an intercom for when i ride my bike. I know there are other options out there, but I would just like to know if its possible to go this route.
i have the same idea but no solution. I would like to use that on my motocycle
do you have any solution?
Hey guys, no solution for this? I'm interested in either winmo or android intercom apps...
Hi the same for me!!!
Hi guys I´m also interested in this kind of application for driing motorbike with mygirlfriend!!!
I found this one for apple (http://i-apps.fr/application+iphone+imoto+intercom-10461)!
I would like to know if someone is able to build one application like this for our android machine???
Go android, go bikers!!!
I would be interested in this also (Prefer Android.)
In a few days
Hi all,
i will release one that does exactly that in a few days.
When released i'll post the name here if you want.
Best regards
Thaks man!!!
Robelor you are the biker´s god!!!
Hey Robelor when will you release you application?
Greetz!!!
Hi all,
i have reread the question and i realized that my application is not "exactly" for that
What my application will do is to place full duplex calls over bluetooth with two android devices.
The use of bluetooth headsets is only supported on 2.2+ versions.
I hope to release in one or tow weeks
It's exactly what I need...And I know others persons which are looking for this too!!!!
has it been two weeks?
want to try it...
TIA
It is out.
It is a free beta because we still have problems. Most of them when using BT headsets.
It is called:
Android Intercom
Just look for "intercom" at market
Best regards
Just downloaded this! Can't wait to test it out on my Epic 4G!
I tried it but crash on startup on desire HD froyo 2.2....
I have some reports of start crash. It is the native encoder lib. It is only compiled for arm and desire HD is arm. I have tried on desire and it worked.
Sorry I will dig on that.
Regards
I'm not complaining at all!!! It was just to reported you problems to improve it...
Keep going on, I will spread this app to my bikers and android addict friends!!!
I don't understand how it works. pls help
·Pair devices
·Start on both devices
·Select the other device on each device.
*Now both are waiting for connection of the other but none trying to connect
·To start the connection process just say something loud enough so you can see green squares.
*This is because automatic reconnections use to end on phone reboot . And this way it is easier to reconnect when connection is lost
·When connected your voice will be transmitted only if it is louder than the threshold.
Please let me know what you thing of how it works. If you dont like it or whatever.
Regards
Has someone tried it successfully?
All my phone would do is create a hell of a lot of noise. I could hear another android device. Seemed to be stuck in speaker even if I played with the button. Muting was the only way the app was tolerable. Also there is no way to close the program. Close a connection yes, not the software.

[REQ] HTC HD2 - My Screen On My Computer

I searched on the xda Forum, but i found nothing, so i decided to create this request post.
I am on Vista and i installed "MyMobiler v1.25".
In fact, it is to use my phone with my mouse and my keyboard on my computer.
So i don't need to touch my phone directly, but when i use it, i can see on my computer and on my phone what i make.
But on my computer, when i make something, the phone screen lags on my computer.
I don't know the raison why, and how can i check it.
In addition, i did not find how can i turn the phone screen on my computer.
For example : If i want to play on a game in landscape on my phone, i see the portait mode on my computer.
I hope someone will help me and in the same time, help other person who have the same problem.
If you want to see this Freeware, or to try it, go on :
MyMobiler v1.25 (02/07/2008) - FREEWARE
Thats just the way it is. MyMobiler has always been laggy when every I've used. There are other programs that do the samething from what I have heard but MyMobiler has always done what i wanted it to do.
why you just don't use the screen from your phone?
hello all, i am looking for app that sounds similar to the one on this conversation. the mymobiler app gets downloaded in the computer or both???

Because, with this freeware, you use your phone even if you don't have it with you.

[Q] Playing video files "Audio" on Car speakers

Hi Guys,
Here is a weird requirement. I am able to connect my bluetooth enabled car to my windows mobile phone and play music from mobile phone. everything is perfect here. But when I play Video files, Audio output is coming from my phone instead of car speakers. Should I change settings ? if its that the way it is..Any alternative idea to play Audio from car speakers and video on mobile?
Hope my questions is clear
I searched for this before opening a new thread.
What specific device? Custom ROM or stock? Unlocked level?
You can enable this with a registry edit, and it is mentioned many times in XDA so i'm not sure what exactly you searched for but you can enable it with a tool like, Advanced Config, but only if you're capable of making registry edits to your device.
If it's not unlocked, you can't enable this, sorry. Try searching the forum again for a more detail specific post, try some words like "bluetooth" and "A2DP" -- I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the WP7 Registry tweaks thread.. In Dev & Hacking... Good luck.
Thanks for your reply . I searched with thread name itself and couldnt find much. Mine is stock rom with Interop-Unlock (Not sure if the phone is developer unlocked) phone which has access to registry settings. I downloaded WP7 Root Tools app and able to change registry settings .
I will search with the text you mentioned and see how it works.
I think i found it. Below is the link. I did this on my phone and will try and see if its working tomorrow and update here
http://wmpoweruser.com/registry-edit-to-enable-a2dp-audio-while-playing-video-on-windows-phone-7/
Its working for me . My problem has been resolved. Please goahead and close this thread.
