I have just earned hdmi cable and cradle for my sensation and the second thing which comes to mind is to remote control my device. Is there any way to this via Bluetooth?
I have heard and read about some gamepads that should work with android, those would practically turn my sensation into gaming console of some kind. Is there anyone with working setup like this? Phone sitting in a cradle, connected to TV and controlled by gamepad to play games? I would really appreciate any feedback etc. Thanks!
I am talking about gametel gamepads.

I know you can use a Wii Remote to control your android tablets and phones, I've tried that on my tablet and it works quite good.

Is there a way to controll my tv, dreambox, reciver and ps3 through my x10?

U cant do any of that because for that you will need IR on your phone (and you don't have)
It's coming, I'm sure. There are already devices that do so for iPods/iPhones.
Ps3 would run off Bluetooth. Not ir

The App for iPhone and iPod required an dongle that must plug in the Headphone jack.
Sry for my bad english, Im german^^
There's an app called Pocket blu that is supposed to let you control a network connected Bluray player or PS3 over wifi.
I have a pair of a-JAY Four's earphones and I have tried a few apps on the market. Some including Headset Button Controller, JAYS headset controller and Player Pro's built in settings. None work sadly.
I am currently running MEGATRON CM9, and was wondering how everyone else worked around this problem?
The above apps do not work on my tablet, but do work on my HTC Inspire.

Does anyone know if its possible to set up your phone as a universal remote? For TV, Freeview box, Xbox navigation etc.
Cheers!

Hi,
Type "Remote control" in market search.
All sorts of things come up.
I don't think so. There are a few apps for some tv's and blu-ray players, but they work over wifi or bluetooth. Usual remotes work via infrared and the sensation has no infrared.
You'd have to get something like this: http://store.griffintechnology.com/tablet/beacon-android
It does not get super reviews at amazon ... but I am sure there are other devices out there like this.

Who knows. Please tell me, even if they did, what device supports it now that I can beam to my TV? I have a WiDi receiver that I got when I bought my laptop, but I know only Intel will support it.

You can use some DLNA and UPnP clients such as Twonky to stream from your android device to a Playstation 3. I currently don't have a Infinity so I can't test this, but it does work with my HTC Sensation. Since you are likely to be home to stream this, I just stream from my computer. But it can be done.
Ah, but not mirror the mobile screen?

DLNA is a content service. A device can be any of some combination, like I stream crap, I serve crap, I display crap, I control crap. So a movie stored on a DLNA device that can serve, can be sent to a DLNA device that knows how to play it, and you can even run the show from a DLNA device that knows how to control stuff.
Miracast can be more like HDMI out without the HDMI cable. Think WiFi Direct + VNC but using H.264.
It depends. Samsung, HTC, and Apple all make money by offering AllShare, Media Link, and AirPlay as proprietary standards which require device owners to buy their accessories. Miracast makes sense for Nexus devices so they offer similar capabilities. Asus could make more money by following Samsung, HTC, and Apple or they could go with a published standard and give their device owners more flexibility. Either way you'll be buying accessories from someone to make it work. And it'll take an awfully long time before you'll see devices natively equipped with Miracast to receive content. AirPlay hasn't been adopted in media devices and there are ten times more Apple devices supporting it than there will be Android devices supporting Miracast. Publishing a standard and seeing it widely adopted (on both ends) are two different things.

I've wondered.. would that be possible? I know that its possible to stream to an 1920x1080 monitor via MHL and i'm pretty sure i can somehow connect a mouse and a keyboard via bluetooth - or?
Which MHL Adapater and BT keyboard/mouse combo would you recommend? Does ANY BT keyboard/mouse combo work with our phone?

I have a microsoft wireless mobile mouse 3500 i dont know to sync
Hey bud,
I have a similair goal in mind and have begun gathering gear for my desktop replacement system lol. I have a monitor already. I just picked up the iHome bluetooth keyboard from my local store here. Dude, paired and connected in a snap. No extra work needed. All i do is turn bt on on the phone, turn the keyboard on and it immediattely defaults to the keyboard for text inpuut. I am in the process of researching how to remap the keys for optimized android functionality as this model is mapped out for iphone. but the media keys work well. volume up and down. pressing the play key automatically starts the media player and plays music. I am actually typing out this post on it right now in my car with my phone docked to my windshield lol. i love it. the arrow keys work in most apps to scroll through and select stuff. Now all i need is a mouse and mhl adapter. I gave up my pc when the hardrive croaked because my adroid phone does alll i need.
I started using android phones as a desktop replacement since i had my G2x. this phone is much easier to accomplish the task with. and with cloud storage we dont even need to use usbhost to latch on an external hardrive. Best of luck dude.

Logitech has a android specific keyboard. I think these have dedicated android keys for home, back and recent apps.
