[APP][2.2+] PCBTKeyboard - Use your PC, as android keyboard - Android Apps and Games

Ok, today I made a Poll, asking if this was a good Idea. Even if low amount of people voted, I can see a high percent of them said is something cool. So here it Is, a Simple software made for using your pc / laptop with bluetooth, for writing into your android device ( even for playing! ), there are 2 apps, PC one (you need java installed), and android one, for Froyo or superior. Download is on second post.
NOTE: THIS APP NEEDS ROOT, BECAUSE USES CONSOLE COMMANDS FOR SIMULATE KEYPRESS!
Instructions:
First youll have to sync your pc with your android device.
then open PCBTKeyboard.jar, and press on "Start bluetooth connection" button
Then open android app, and search on paired list (or press scan devices), your pc, and connect It.
Finally, write on your pc, and it will be written on your phone
Some screenshots (pc and phone):

okay. so what do you actually mean with "sync"? Just pair it or what?
Because i did pair my netbook and my U20i, then pressed on my netbook on the list of the paired devices, which then resulted in the "error connecting".

works on LG GT540 but some bugs :
1-very slow response (writes the letter after 2-5 seconds) also when using backspace the box on pc is empty but letters are still there in phone
2-After I change to another application it just write random letters of word e.g (If I write Market it write on phone "Ma" or "rk" etc...
3-After a while of using I get this error on pc

There's an option to sync, that willl show a code or somthing like that, on phone and pc, for better results, you should do that.

The slow response is normal behaviour, i need to find a better way to writing, also, for delete all characters you need to press back space, multiple times (not just hold pressed), ill work on that too.
and the error maybe because you are using non allowed characters like ¡ or ?, wich android input keyevent and input text does not recognize. The random letters is weird, could i get a video on that? thanks.
btw, I can do software as fast as real time, but it will lost ability to write outside activity, and over any application

Well I Updated my PC bluetooth driver.. So I guess errors disappeared . Test video is right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp3WqTKQIyY&feature=
now you can Put LG GT540 as "tested and worked" devices. and I will make a thread about this in the GT540 forum

Working!
Didn't recognise unicode characters such as "β, μ, α," etc..
Little bit slow!

I really liked the concept, I can't test it because I dont have Bluetooth on my laptop, I think it would be awsome if you could implement an Wifi solution.. (like Winamp syncs when the phone is on the same network as the phone)..

+1 on the Wifi or even via abd/usb. I have been using wifikeyboard with a small c# frontend to the webbrowser needed and that works pretty well, except for causing lists not to scroll correctly at times. Having something else which would work better is always something cool. Great job

getting an error connection im guessings its down to my bluetooth damn you windows 7, well at least thats what im guessing since i hate how w7 manages the bluetooth

Use Case
I have a pretty good use case for this app. In companies, where access to Chat apps such as Gtalk is blocked, you could use this app message with your friends via Gtalk on the phone. Your PC will still be on the company network and you'll chat on your data connection. You'd need to mount the phone next to your PC monitor, where u can see the screen while working.
And then, you can chat away and somebody from far will only think that you are doing your regular work on your PC
I haven't yet tried out the app, so I'm not sure if this is totally supported. Hope it is

Can you please add WiFi compatibility?

I don't use windows

Use a tcp connection, I am not sure if you use obex or serial port connection on the current version. But reading and writing data to a tcp pork works in much the same way

Sixaxis controller is here!

This thread should be used to provide feedback and troubleshooting for the Sixaxis Controller and Compatibility Checker apps.
If you have a device that you would like to see supported, and you're happy to step few a bit of debugging to help me determine the issue then please let me know, and preferably provide a screenshot of any error messages.
I'm doing my best to add support for new devices (especially HTC and Samsung), but it seems that it might not always be possible to add compatibility. In this case, the only option for running the app on said device is with an AOSP based rom such as CyanogenMod.
Also, throughout the thread I will occasionally be posting beta versions of the app that include new experimental features. I would be most appreciative of any feedback from those willing to test these new features.
For those looking for help with touch profiles, mythek88 has put together a master list here with a growing list of games. Hopefully at some stage I will add the ability to share profiles directly through the app.
Regards,
Earl
Both Nexus phones. I'd volunteer for testing, but I don't own a sixaxis.
Out of curiosity, why does this need root access whereas Wii doesn't? Is there a difference between the way the controllers pair or something?

Yes unfortunately, although the Sixaxis basically communicates via the HID protocol, there are a couple of minor differences that would require a kernel patch to make the controller start talking over HID. The only solution I have found for this so far is to bypass HID and communicate directly over L2CAP (both of which require root access).
I'd love to volunteer for testing! I have access to several androids and 8 dualshock and sixaxis controllers
If you wish to test on an Galaxy S II then I am available to help out if required. I too have both DualShock and SixAxis controllers.
I can join to you guys too! I have Desire HD with sense or without it and dualshock3/sixaxis controller.
I have three phones that I'm willing to beta test.
I have dualshock 3 controllers.
LG Optimus S
HTC Hero (rooted w/o Sense)
HTC Evo 3D (soon to be rooted)
I definitely think you should release a free version that lets people test basic compatibility. 15 minute return window doesn't seem like enough to test an app like this.
Very excited to see this app!
Ok, what I'll do initially is release a standalone compatibility test app on here in the next couple of days that basically allows me to get some initial feedback and if required have anyone who is willing with an incompatible phone to run a few tests that might enable me to get them working.
Again, this application will only work on rooted devices, sorry!
Stay tuned.
I'd suggest you to put an free version for like 2 weeks for the time its a beta stage then when everything is finalised make it 1$ which i think is reasonably fair ! And i own an sony ericsson xperia x10 it has to work ! Since sony > sony ericsson is the same company i think ? Lol

Here is the (very basic) windows utility I created today for pairing the controllers to a specific MAC address. Once installed, you should be able to plug a controller in to your PC via Mini-USB and the 'Current Master' should change from 'Searching...' to the last MAC address the controller was paired with (probably your PS3). You can then change the master by entering a new MAC address in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. This address will ultimately be the bluetooth address of the phone you wish to use the controller with. The Android app will give you the correct address when run on your phone.
Make sense?
If anyone wants to try it out and let me know if it works on your PC's, that would be lovely. Just enter any old MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 will do.
Linux users (and apple mac?) should be able to use the utility called 'sixpair' that is floating around the net.
Just an update that I'm hoping to get a bit of feedback on...
This app allows you to test whether your device will be compatible with the app. Once I have enough feedback about which devices / OS versions it will run on (and potentially improve compatibility with some assistance from testers on the forum), then I will make a release on the market that enables IME.
If you would like to help out, you will need to download the attached apk, as well as the SixaxisPairTool in my previous post. You will then need to extract and install the apk on your phone using adb or something like 'app installer' from the market. Run the app and follow the instructions (you will need to use SixaxisPairTool to pair the controller with the phone (using the bluetooth address displayed at the bottom of the app after tapping 'start').
Please could anyone who tries the app report back here any devices and OS's they have tried, and the success they have. Feel free to ask for help if anything is unclear.
Cheers,
Earl
I ran Sixaxis Compatability Checker on my Asus Transformer running Prime 1.6 (Android 3.1). When I clicked "Start" the program said "Connection Initiated..." and then "Connection Failed." At this point I have not paired my controller because the Checker program does not give me the MAC address. When I click "Stop" my Transformer locks up and nothing works, and while I can turn it off with the power button it does not turn back on until I hard reset it.
oKay i run the Server on Android.. they show me the MAC.. ..
i type the mac address in the Windows App .. the show me the same address in the Server and Controller .. but if i press start at the controller hey only blinking.. -.-
Connection Initiated...
Connection Established..

@presslab - Can you try running the command 'hciconfig' on the phone in a terminal emulator as root user and tell me the result.
@Witalka 15 - When you paired the controller using 'SixaxisPairTool', did the 'Current Master' show the same address as the one you typed in after clicking 'Update', or was it still showing 'Searching...'?
I have a Droid X running Liberty Gingerbread ROM 0.9. First off I'd just like to say that I constantly have problems with it, including with Bluetooth, so this may not apply to all Droid X users, but I do receive the "Connection Failed" message, and was just wondering what I can do about it since I've been dying to use my Dualshock with my phone for the longest time. Thanks
Anyone getting a 'Connection Failed' message can help me out by trying the following commands in a terminal window and reporting the results:
su
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
start hciattach
hciconfig -a hci0 up
hciconfig -a hci0 pscan
hciconfig
If you get a 'not found' error when calling hciconfig, you could try copying the executable (from say here) to your /system/xbin folder and making it executable with 'chmod 744 /system/xbin/hciconfig'. Then try running the above commands again.

[APP][2.3.3-4.1][ROOT] BlueCtrl - Bluetooth input device emulator

*** REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS ***
*** NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 4.2 ***
BlueCtrl is an open source Bluetooth input device emulator that can control remote devices. This means that you can use the touchscreen and keyboard of your Android device to control other devices which support Bluetooth.
Because this app is using the Bluetooth input standard, it supports various operating systems without any special server software. It has been successfully tested with the following systems:
Android
iOS
Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu...)
Mac OS X
PlayStation 3
Windows
Please note that if you want to use this app with Microsoft Windows, you probably need to disable a conflicting Android service. For more information look at:
https://github.com/RonsDev/BlueCtrl/wiki/Bluetooth-input-service-conflict
This app requires root permissions because it needs direct access to the Bluetooth adapter. Another restriction is that it is only compatible with a specific Bluetooth stack that is called BlueZ, which is used on many but not all devices with a Android version smaller 4.2.
What's new
New system specific touchpad gestures
The gestures are now optimized for the chosen remote device system. Linux and Windows systems also got a new setting for the gesture mode. So, for example, if you are using Windows 8 you can configure the appropriate gesture mode to enable the special Windows 8 edge gestures.
New interactive touchpad tutorial
The interactive tutorial will explain all gestures for the current system and can be activated via the menu.
New menu item for composing text
This is especially helpful if you want to write a longer text because you can keep your eyes on the device and see what you write and it also allows you to correct the text before it is send.
Voice input can be corrected before sending
Voice input will be displayed in a edit box before it is send so that you are able to correct misinterpreted words.
New "Stay awake" setting
This setting prevents that the device is going into standby and disconnects the connection. To save some energy the screen will however be dimmed after 30 seconds of inactivity.
New "Scroll sensitivity" setting
You can long press the keyboard button to change the input method

Hey,
This app sounds great, running a rooted SGS2 running XXLPB ICS (4.0.3). Have installed and all appears fine, trying to manipulate my PS3 with it nothing happens... Does it only work for custom OSs on PS3? or does it work with the standard PS3 'XMB'?
Cheers
P.s. I realise that I have used a very large amount of acronyms... many apologies, but I estimate to have saved myself a small age in not writing them all out!
Works well ! Thanks for this apk.
I try it with another android device and it runs.

What IDE do you use to build this app? I'm new to Android and so far I've just used Eclipse. In your source code I didn't see gen folder with R class.
I also met problem when connecting two devices (two Android phones). after paring, I pressed "connect" button then I received a message "Connection refused. The remote device is busy or the devices aren't correctly paired".
Is there a phase to enter the key used to pair two devices? If yes, I didn't see that phase.

The app is build with the Ant build tool on the command line (see the README) but I use Eclipse to develop the Java code. The gen folder will be automatically generated if you build the project.

Before you press the “connect” button you should wait a little until the other device shows that the devices are paired (sometimes the “connect” button is enabled too early because Android reports that the devices are paired even if the pairing process hasn't finished yet). Before that you should normally see a pairing request dialog or notification where you enter or confirm the key.
Thaks alot
Out of all the applications o the market yours is the only one that works on all systems. If you want to post a donation version on the android market I'll gladly donate to help you improve your work.
Hey thanks for the app. Its amazing. I was the first post but I got one thing that I was wondering if you could look into.. I have two devices. A htc g2. And a Samsung galaxy player 5.0. Both rooted but g2 on cyanogenmod. And galaxy player on stock. This app works on my g2 but the galaxy player gets this error. The application encountered a problem and cannot continue (error -53).

2 finger swipe left worked for the Android Home

Btstack
hi guys! great app! I wish I could use it! lol Actually... just tried it on my macbook pro... works great!
Okay so you say it can connect to iOS but no pointer? But the BTstack tweak in cydia is supposed to solve that issue.
However I can't connect to my ipad 2. here's what I sent to the developer of BTstack mouse:
"Hi, I've tried to find a solution for a while now, but to no avail. I go to connect the mouse and it just sits on the "mouse selector" page.
I have an ipad 2 (wifi only) (not the ipad2,4 either) jailbroken ios 5.1.1
Everytime I try to pair. it wont. Then the app blacks out and freezes my ipad. I'm then forced to do a hard reboot."
now... your app warns me that another Bluetooth input service is active on my device T-MOBILE HTC G2 cyanogen mod 7.
I click the link to read more info, but it doesn't really help me out. I would love an answer. maybe a how-to only have one bluetooth input service running on the G2 at a time? I really want to use my phone as a mouse, I already have an apple wireless keyboard that I use with my ipad a lot and would love the addition of a mouse. (I'm currently NOT trying to pair both at the same time.. fyi)
So if someone could help me out, this could be a big step in bridging the gap between ios and android and getting them to actually play nice together.
Thank you for your time!
Hi I had a g2 and I kinda have a ipad 2 and it worked flawlessly. What works is don't try to connect them from outside the app.

Working! ICS 4.0.3 on my dell d430 laptop

Hi everyone,
just wanted to make a quick post, mainly to share my excitement.
after wondering over to the android-x86 project page and having a bit of a read i thought i would give it a go on my little dell laptop. for those not familiar with the project they have developed techniques and files for installing android os on x86 laptop and computers.
anyway, it works perfectly. well 99% perfectly. mouse pad scroll doesn't work yet, for me, its only been a day, i may be able to work it out yet. maybe.
tested and working on this laptop are:
wifi
keyboard
mouse pad (excluding scrolling)
battery icon shows battery drain and charging icon
(its a basic laptop, that's almost the entire list of features haha)
not working so far:
mouse pad scrolling
Not tested:
bluetooth
external data storage (usb hdd/sd card etc)
usb accessories (keyboard/mouse/cd drive etc)
display output (this laptop has vga output)
physical network connection via cable
phone line connection (does anyone use these anymore???)
firewire
headphone and mic ports
Apps used so far:
Dolphin HD
Stock browser
google maps
gmail
zeam launcher
panda laucher
The play store does not work for downloading apps. you can log in and view installed and previously downloaded apps, manage your account etc but you will get an error with downloading. ( for those concerned the errors encountered include 921 and 101 so far)
all widgets tried so far are working too and live wallpapers...not sure why they wouldnt work...but they do anyway.
I had always joked about my little laptop having the same specs as a mobile phone, so I think its pretty funny it now has a mobile OS running.
I have it currently configured to dual boot alongside windows 7 and both are getting along nicely on the same laptop.
anyone else on the forums here played with this? I did search around but didn't find much relating to android on laptops and my dell d430 wasn't listed in the device section haha.
if anyone can suggest a more appropriate place for this post i would be happy to repost somewhere else.
please also feel free to post questions including but not limited to the standard "why would you want to do this!?" and "what's the point?"
conclusion:
i may just use this as a daily os....all i ever used this laptop for was backpack sized internet access and media entertainment and it does that much easier on android now.
Another thing I loved was that when installing windows (a one million hour affair typically) you then had to install acres of drivers (the technical measurement of the amount of drivers required to get everything working on windows), HOWEVER on android, everything worked out of the box so to speak. wifi and all.
if this catches on and gains a decent level of tech support for those less capable this could be a great opportunity to keep everyone's ageing tech in the game.
Niceeeeeee, i give it a try

Which iso file did you used for the pc (I mean Asus, Lenovo, Hp).
Can you also give me some hints on how to create the boot disc and how to get in the boot mode and what to do next.
first thing i thought was man, you're gonna need to edit a word doc or something and be screwed. but i see your dual booting so i guess it makes sense. whats the boot up time like?

For me boot time is unDer 20 seconds into windoes and under 15 into android, but I've got a SSD hd and made a few tweaks to the bios.
As far as usability goes, androids definitely a touch orientated OS so it's a bit cumbersome with the touchpad ... I did however spot a touch panel for the screen for cheap on eBay....

The play store does not work for downloading apps. you can log in and view installed and previously downloaded apps, manage your account etc but you will get an error with downloading. ( for those concerned the errors encountered include 921 and 101 so far)
all widgets tried so far are working too and live wallpapers...not sure why they wouldnt work...but they do anyway.
I had always joked about my little laptop having the same specs as a mobile phone, so I think its pretty funny it now has a mobile OS running.
I have it currently configured to dual boot alongside windows 7 and both are getting along nicely on the same laptop.
anyone else on the forums here played with this? I did search around but didn't find much relating to android on laptops and my dell d430 wasn't listed in the device section haha.
if anyone can suggest a more appropriate place for this post i would be happy to repost somewhere else.
please also feel free to post questions including but not limited to the standard "why would you want to do this!?" and "what's the point?"
conclusion:
i may just use this as a daily os....all i ever used this laptop for was backpack sized internet access and media entertainment and it does that much easier on android now.
Another thing I loved was that when installing windows (a one million hour affair typically) you then had to install acres of drivers (the technical measurement of the amount of drivers required to get everything working on windows), HOWEVER on android, everything worked out of the box so to speak. wifi and all.
if this catches on and gains a decent level of tech support for those less capable this could be a great opportunity to keep everyone's ageing tech in the game.

dunno if this has been said but your problem with downloading apps error is that your build.prop says asus laptop. try change it to like the galaxy tab lines and see if you can download apps
I know this is an old thread, but im curious as to how you got the wifi working. I have the same laptop, using "android-x86-4.0-r1.1-asus_laptop" and wifi doesnt seem to want to work...

Hey, I know its been a while, but how do you get wifi working on your dell d430 ? Im using the "android-x86-4.0-r1.1-asus_laptop" build, and wifi doesnt seem to work...
install Android-x84 Kitkat 4.4

It works with this version Android-x86 4.4 Kitkat, the only one doesn´t work is the WWAN card (3G)
Can´t find any fix for this.

[APP][3.21.16] TWC TV - VZW/ADB/HDMI checks removed & watch away from home!!

UPDATE
Development of this app will continue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-spectrum-tv-aka-twc-tv-t3847520
Thanks for everyone who kept this project going!
Hello here you will find the most recent TWC TV App from the android market... except it has ALL restrictions removed, NO ADB checks, NO proxy checks, NO HDMI checks, NO ROOT checks, and best of all, a method to watch ALL the channels while you're away from home, not just SOME of the channels TWC let's you watch; this can be viewed over 3g/4g/wifi... hell even 1x lol.
NOW the part I like... and maybe the reason why the root check was implemented by TWC.... you can actually WATCH live TV on any wifi, 3g/4G network away from your home! all you need is a few tools and you're on your way.... if this is of no interest to you then just scroll down to the download link
To watch outside of the home network:
Install a proxy server on a machine inside your network (a computer that can play live tv from twctv.com successfully)
I use wingate FREE edition (http://wingate.com)
Make sure you configure your router to forward traffic on that port to your machine
as a side note, make sure you assign a static IP on your local machine so your router doesn't get confused
also make sure you go to whatsmyip.org and get your external IP address (as you'll need this for the android side)
Install an app from the android market called "Auto Proxy (ROOT)"
Configure Auto Proxy to connect to your machine... here you will enter the IP you got earlier from your home machine and the port you chose when you configured wingate...
Now activate AutoProxy and all traffic will be routed through your home computer (all apps, etc...) meaning when you use the timewarner app it will think you're inside your home network!!
Make sure you turn it off once you're done watching TV, otherwise you will be consuming all of your upload bandwidth and also slow down your speeds since it has to go through the proxy...
Profit!!
Some Notes:
This app should work on any phone with gingerbread and up. (Tested myself)
Feel free to donate It took me a while to learn how to do this and it took alot endless nights
I think i should also point out that I didn't use anyone else's code to do this; I'm a lone developer and just like the challenge
I am also working on a workaround to the proxy thing... a way to watch Live TV on your cellular network alone... no proxy required (I make no promises but i'm looking into it and hopefully I'll come up with something)
I'll also try to release a new version if updates are released... try and keep everything current
Questions? need a more detailed guide or anything else? just ask! I'm here to help ... (but see post #2 first)
The 3.21.14 app would not be possible without GreenNasty... THANKS!

Thanks to those that made decompiling/recompiling easy!!
Don't forget to hit that thanks button if this app works for you!
donations are also appreciated... modifying something without the source code is tough... and a cup of coffee can go a long way when coding thanks for your support!
Bug List
APP Version 3.2#44: Some users report that HD doesn't work as well with the new app. Time Warner did alot of changes due to the move to streaming away from home, that means that they definetely could have messed something up.... if HD is not working properly for you and want to try the previous version (2.6#36) feel free to download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?s3evtfhdedy3061
If you wish to decompile the app yourself, i have included comments in most of the important parts of the code that i modified... i will admin, they are HARD to understand and modify, but if you're looking to do it yourself in the future, I've helped you out
Issues/Troubleshooting
If you have tried this app and it does not work for you then i need the following information:
are you using the proxy instructions I mentioned or using the app using your home network?
MAKE SURE your device is rooted
if you are then please test it on your home network first and make sure it works (whithout ANY proxy, etc...)... if it does then let me know what issues you get when you use wingate and Auto Proxy....
if it does work on your home network but not with the proxy, then please tell me detailed instructions on how you set it up or if you need a guide on how to do so
do you have internet service through time Warner?
what device are you using?
what rom and kernel are you using, and what versions? (if you don't what kernel then just tell me which rom and version and i'll figure it out)
Are you rooted? With Super SU or just SuperUser?
All of the above checked? then i will need a logcat while the app is running Feel free to pm me the logcat ONLY after you have posted what i've requested and I'll let you know to send me a logcat... i don't want to receive random logcats and will ignore them if i haven't seen your information in this thread first!
Logcats can be taken via: adb shell logcat
OR adb shell and then type logcat, you can use the -f parameter to save it to a file rather than copying it from your command prompt to a file...
If there is anything else you think i should know, then please post that as well.... any little bit of information WILL help, trust me
I am committed to help.... but please help me by following the above instructions to make both our lives easier!
Thanks!
Will this work home lan with rooted / adb on ?

I know i haven't posted yet, but i recently got the TWC TV app and found that it doesn't work on Rooted devices or EVEN if you have ADB on!! anyways, I'm a developer but in a different language, nevertheless I looked around the forums and figured out how to modify the APK and came up with this... what better way to do my first post huh? lol

I really do not understand why they care if rooted / debugging is turned on?
I mean its at least a little understandable if one has an unlocked
bootloader and running on a non-standard rom.

There is competing theories on why they care... one of the reason i can think of (which i said in the OP) is that you can use a root app to enable traffic tunneling through a proxy (thus circumventing their "home network") restriction
Is this the phone version of the app?? Just wondering because I'm trying to get it to work on my HP Touchpad with CM10 and the signed versions I have found for the tablet are around 5mb and yours its just under 2.
Thanks!
*UPDATE*
Not sure why you version is so much smaller but it works perfectly on my tablet. I have been searching high and low for a fix and this was it. I can't thank you enough!!!

I wish I could, unfortunately that's a problem on the server's end, not the app... sometimes certain channels are unavailable because tw is having an issue on their end.... unless you're getting the error on every channel... right now I think Disney channel is having that issue, is it happening with a lot of channels?
Works great on nexus 10 running cm10.1 nightly thank you! I had to edit files after updating ROM now I don't have to, appreciate your work. HDMI would be a big bonus, cheers mate.

I will happily test it, i picked up a $10 cable from walmart, its a bit short but should do the trick. I managed to poke around in the code myself, dont know what the hell im doing, but thought i would give it a go. Anyway doing a file compare with your version and the stock version, i can see quite a few changes which im sure took quite a bit of time, so i want to say Thank You again!!!

I'm working on it right now.... just wanted to know: do you get an error message when you plug in the HDMI cable anywhere in the app? like even if you're not watching live tv? or only when you're tuned in to a channel?

Ok i just finished modifying the app... this is my first attempt at removing the HDMI check so don't be too harsh :/

I heard TWC app have troubles with some checkings with some ROMS maybe removing the checking when that message is shown. Look I tested on iPad, iPod, iPhone and. Samsung Galaxy Tab Android and works perfect but specific the problem is on Amazon Kindle 8.9 with iOs 8.1.4 and others in every channel no some channel is every channel the message and the message appears in no more than 30 seconds, in other words you only have around 30 seconds of video in any channel and the message is shown and other people have the same issues. If you have the code and you can check the message when is shown and remove the condition or if you have the source maybe we can see when the message is shown I can see to have an idea. If you look inside other forums in this webpage there are other people with dame problem in other devices.
Thank you

Can you tell me what specific message comes up? there's different messages that come up for different scenarios, if it's only "this channel is currently unavailable at this time" then i need to know specifics... what device, what android version, rooted or not.... a logcat of the app running would also be nice... I also don't understand what you mean by "iOS 8.1.4", afaik iOS is only on apple devices ... this fix is only applicable to android devices.
Let me know if it's happening to you and let me know the specifics i mentioned and i'll see what i can do about it.

[2.1+] MissingLink - cross platform file sharing/synching and device remote control

Hi all!
So I've been working on an app in my spare time on & off for about 2 years and have finally put it up on the play store. I'm looking for opinions about it, as after building it for so long I've most likely got severe tunnel vision and wouldn't know what's intuitive and what's not to a new user!
What does it do?
Remote control your PC (mouse, keyboard, media buttons)
Copy files to & from your PC or other Android devices
Sync files automatically
Share clipboard data between devices
Open URLs and files (eg music, video) on remote devices
Supports sleep and wake-on-lan of devices
Why? There are similar apps already!
I wrote it out of frustration with the available options for "inter-connectivity" between my devices. I use a HTPC to watch movies and wanted a remote app to control the HTPC (remote mouse, play/pause/volume). There are many existing such apps but I didn't like what's out there:
Are complicated with separate "remotes" for each app that you have to juggle between, etc
They don't behave like a keyboard & mouse, but have special buttons to learn
They often require Java on the PC
Can be slow
I wanted much more than just a remote control app if I'm going to have a "server" running on my PC...
If you want remote clipboard sharing, file transfers, etc, you have ot install separate servers for each app on your PC... I thought I could do better, and you only need 1 "server" on the PC to do all of the above.
Finally, I wrote it to be peer-to-peer. This means that your PC isn't really a "server", for example, you can transfer files/open URLs Android-Android without a PC being present. One such case is when I'm often reading a webpage and open the link on my wifes tablet so she can check it out too!
It's also cross-platform. The same core bit compiles on pretty much anything, but so far I've only released the Android and Windows ports, as they're the ones that I've tested the most. Coming soon will be OSX, Linux and iOS last (I HATE objective-C syntax!)
I've got heaps of other features which I want to add, to build this into the ultimate way to make your devices cooperate... but with the existing features I thought it's time to release it & see what others think!
How can I download it?
The app is called MissingLink (one word, if you want to search for it on the play store). Or the direct link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peaklabs.missinglink
The Windows version is available on my site at:
http://www.peaklabs.net/apps/missing-link/download/
Quit blabbing
Ok If you have time please give it a shot and let me know what you think! It has a trial as synching is a paid feature, but if you want I can reset your trial! Just message me.
Just hoping to get some feedback as I continue building it! Thanks heaps!
Oh and if you have any features you think might come in handy, please let me know! I'm sure there's so much that could be done with our devices that find each other and are connected via TCP/IP that isn't being done yet

Hi! Glad you found it useful
It's free, but you can upgrade to pro from the app - currently only file synching and PC shutdown/restart requires "pro"! I think as I add features in the future they'll most likely end up being part of the "pro" upgrade.

Certainly will! That's the next OS I'm going for actually.
Just wondering, what would you need it for - Android->MAC remote, or also due to file transfers? Some people have trouble with setting up windows shares between windows & OSX, and ML can be a replacement for that between win & osx too... Just wondering how you'd use it, as my wife is an OSX using photographer and I'm always annoyed by her backup needs with her weird (to me) file systems
I can completely understand about the shortcomings of the 'current' offerings, Sounds like ML is exactly what I've been missing for years.. (Wish I had something like this since I had my first android phone, to be honest).. Too bad I killed the battery in my tablet, but I'll be sure to test it out as soon as the tablet's charged and the phone is re-flashed.
Thank you
Hi. I've installed the app on my phone and Nexus 7. The Windows app is not playing at the moment. I keep getting a path error. Will report back tomorrow (it's late here), This could be really valuable. Thanks for your efforts. John
great work. this is what i waiting for
force close on kitkat
First time starting it gives an FC, after that it wont FC anymore, haven't recorded the logcat though. just saying
Working perfect on my Nexus 5. You sir are a genius. Very smooth and no-brainer install and usage. As matter of fact I typed this from the app itself :good:
Edit: I didn't like the icon so i made one for my use, but why not share it?
FC at startup with CM11 on ART
EDIT: second startup worked perfectly
Awesome. I think the icon above looks nicer, but apart from that, nothing much to say. Maybe try using different colours, maybe white instead of green would improve readability. Thumbs up
i'd love to have something like this for mac. as it stands android file transfer is not a great solution and i prefer just to adb push/pull things instead of using that.
hope there is a mac version soon!
Looking for the Linux version.
Once it's out, this will be my app.
I'm currently using a bunch of soft for the same things
- explorer ES for smb exploration
- Pushbullet for sharing pastes
- pydio for remote file access
- airdroid for some file exchanges
However some of these apps also works over mobile data and not only Wifi.

I'm not sure, but the previous Windows build (v 1.0.110) had an error that came up sometimes on first start, maybe that's what you saw - it should be fixed on 1.0.111 though. Let me know if you find out what it was! Thanks!

Hi! Sorry to hear that. I unfortunately don't have a kitkat phone to test on, as samsung hasn't released it for my S4 for some reason
If you see it again, please press the "Report" button, that'd be a great help! Thanks!
Hi All!
Thanks for the awesome feedback, glad people are liking it. I've noted your issues, and once I finish the next update I think I'll focus on building the mac & linux versions.
Also several requests for configurable UI colours, that's going to be a pain to code, but I think I'll have to do it in the end!
Please if anyone is seeing force closes, press the "Report" button. I may have found 1 cause of them but there may be others :-/
Thanks heaps!
Upon trying to activate the trial features after having had it installed for less than a minute, I get "Failed to start a MissingLink trial. Have you previously done a trial with this device?"
The answer is obviously "No," but the only option available is "OK."
Cannot find a price anywhere, and attempting to buy the pro version (since the trial is not available) results in an error.
