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.

I already have a Harmony One with the IR to BT receiver but I think it would be pretty awesome to control the menu/Blu-Rays with my N1.
It can't be that hard to develop. If you had a BT keyboard you can connect it to the PS3 and you can mimmick the controls with certain keyboard buttons. (I think, haven't personally tried it but the functionality should be there for EVERY buttion. So far I've just tried the arrows.)
If I knew a crap about developing I'd do it myself.
Do want!

Anyone out there that could do this?
They already made this for Windows Mobile, so it can be done.

Yeah, I would pay for this as well. Definitely $5-$10.
Anyone find anything that can do this? I think Google tv is coming out with something like this for Harmony remotes but its only for Google tv.
Coming from an iPhone what are you guys using to take place of remote to control your itunes air play for MAC,macbook,and Apple tv?

I don't use my phone for any of that. If I needed a remote, I would use the remotes that came with said devices.

Using your (i)Phone as a remote allows you to utilize the keyboard on the phone to type in queries and searches, which is much quicker and easier than using a minimalistic Apple remote, actually.
"Remote for iTunes". Works perfect for me controlling my 1st gen aTV and iTunes on my macbook. Same kind of interface as the apple remote app. It's 4.99 but i think it was worth it. I use it everyday to control music playback on the home theater system from anywhere in the house (within wi-fi range at least)
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.

Does anyone know if this product:
Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2
Would work on the HTC Thunderbolt to output video to a TV?
I don't know but for $10 how much is going to hurt if it doesn't work? I like the idea though.

I just got a response on another forum that it doesn't work. Apparently the thunderbolt doesn't have the MHL adapter capability.
So is there any other way then to get video on your TV from the Thunderbolt?
I have never been able to get the DLNA player working on the phone. If that is the only way then I would appreciate a how-to guide on getting it to work.

Don't rhink the thunderbolt has dlna or mhl.

dlna does work with the thunderbolt. I have used windows 7 media center and a smart TV with Wifi to send videos and music. It can be a little slow, but it may have been the Wifi network I was on. If you don't have a built-in media share app on the rom you are using, you can find some on the play store.
USE twonky works great u get a free couple of uses after that have to pay

How about something like this: HTC Media Link. I'd provide links, but can't due to the number of posts I have, but if you Google HTC Media Link you should find info.
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.
