[Q] Nokia Wired Remote Headset - Will it Work?

Just found this one: dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.24661
It looks really handy with six buttons to control the music, but does anyone know if it will work with the HTC Desire?

The answer is no. I bought a much simpler remote and accidentally received one for Nokia. It's simply not compatible.

[Q] Compatible BT Control Pad

I'm on the hunt for compatible bluetooth control pads for the samsung galaxy s. I used to have one for my old i900 and worked a treat (can't recall the name of the pad), but had heard wiimote and other bluetooth controllers will not work with new samsung widget devices and htc sense phones.
Does anyone know one which will work as touch screen gaming is a bit poo
Hoping this is not a re-post

Zeemote works, even on 2.1 firmwares, but you have to buy the GamePro drivers. Here is it in action - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8y5Z_Xc7fI
On 2.2 firmwares bluetooth HID profile support is added for BT keyboards/mice, but sadly WiiMotes are still a no-go.
If your old one is a HID profile device it may well work on 2.2 firmwares.

Cheers, shall look into zeemotes. My old unit was the samsung i900 (windows mobile), and i regret selling with the pad as it looks like was compatible with gamepro. Still zeemotes seem pretty cheap so will definitely try these out.

Okay, remembered the one i had with my samsung omnia i900. It was the MSI BGP-100. This would be more ideal for me to have again as of the extra buttons (three seems a bit short on the zeemote), and originally cost me around £10 including delivery. I've noticed that since the time i had it this pad has become discontinued and i can only find a few sellers but they want £90 for it (seriously WTF! ).
So my second question is does anyone know wnywhere that still has stock of the MSI BPG-100 and selling at a reasonable price and will ship to UK or does anyone know of an equivalent that has more than three buttons?

The little Bluetooth keyboards work as game controllers with Froyo, if the game app can remap keys. I've used one with Gameboid. It's not as good as a dedicated gamepad but you get used to it.

@ DotMpeg - Yes that's the MSI pad. If you can find anywhere that sells them at a semi sensible cost and has stock please let me know. Dealextreme along all other sites i have found that still have them listed do not have stock...
@ TheBeano - Sadly not running froyo yet as the UK network providers have not released their versions quite yet (due anytime now), but when they do i'll certainly be looking into these if i still can't get hold of the old MSI pad. Either that or the temptation to debrand will grow

@ hiraj_panosian It looks like an overpriced toy and more to the point what the hell does it have to do with the topic

http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/products_id/503?osCsid=da7f746bd7d9670cb9728607e432e477
not used it though

Excellent find and not a bad price I'll see what i can find out about these and report back anything for other users.

Looks like the RC-100 cannot be used as a phone gamepad. Got the below message direct from manufacturer;
"The RC-100 is not a Zeemote. The RC-100 is a remote control that works over the Zigbee wireless protocol (not Bluetooth) designed to work with our line of Bioloid Humanoid Robots.
It was not designed to work with cellular phones and therefore I believe it will not serve your purpose of using it with your phone or pad."
The hunt continues...

Hunt will be over soon with CM 6.1 coming! Then we can just use our Datel Retro Wireless controllers and WiiMotes...

CM 6.1? Sounds promosing, tell me more please

I didn't read the thread properly, sorry for that. I really like the way you can wear it as a watch. It has a real screen in comparison with other bluetooth watches...

Cyanogenmod ROM 6.1, it will have a bluetooth implementation that works with WiiMotes etc.

@ hiraj_panosian - no problem. It looks nice but i can't understand why anyone would be that lazy to pull the phone outta their pocket?
@ NZtechfreak - Should have realised that CM was Cyanogen Mod Do You know if they are actually making this as a stable ROM as at present they have done nothing but experimental ones for the i9000.

Its not yet stable, they've made a lot of progress though.

Wiimote compatible?

Can anyone test to see if this works on the G2x? I would like to know as I would like to be able to use other controllers besides touch screen.
I would test myself but I don't currently have this phone but thinking on getting it.

Downloading it now.
Emulators + HDMI mirroring is one of the big reasons I got this phone.

Well, we know the O2x doesn't support it. I wouldnt be surprised if the bluetooth stack is similarly boned on the G2x, despite stock android.
Even if the G2x doesnt support it out of the box, there may be hope that cyanogen will support it in the future.

Nope just tested. Says it can't find Bluetooth and to make sure it is enabled... which it is.
First drivers needed to access the SD card, then no WiiMote.... damn...

Thank you for taking the time to test it though sad to hear it doesn't support it.

yeah those two issues are quite disappointing. maybe cyanogen can fix them :S
i'm thinking i will just stick with my n1 for now

I'd like to add the JS1 Zeemote also is not working. I had it working on N1. The Bluetooth connects but when I exit bluetooth settings it disconnects. I'm also using Bluezime so android can detect Bluetooth controller

Doesn't work for me either. This is highly upsetting to say the least. One of the biggest things I wanted to do with this phone was play Super Mario World hacks through HDMI with a wiimote. Oh well, phone is still a keeper easy. Hope it gets fixed.

Hey did anyone ever get a PS3 controller working with the N1?

zeemote works fine for me.
but i also can't connect to a wiimote.

where can u buy the Zeemote for g2x ?
the only one i can find is for the Nokia
so the prices are all over the place
can u tell me where u bought one and what the price was ?

i got the amazon one.
the nokia version works fine if you have bluez ime
the only thing i think is tied to a specific OS is the included games coupon, but it's expired anyway.

You have the Js1 working on G2x, if so how? I can connect Bluetooth fine but when I exit Bluetooth settings it disconnects automatically

Nevermind fixed my own problem. If anyone has similar problems with Js1 pm me and we'll get it straightened out

Awesome the 10 dollar one
Next question
does anyone know if the Wii remote problem is a hardware or software issue ?
because if it is software (Drivers) now that LG released all the source codes for this device, to should be easy for a developer to fix.
assuming we get any other developers then that CM7 dude to buy this phone
BUT CM7 and zeemote might be enough

it's because several phones(mostly touchwiz/sense phones, and LG phones) use non-standard bluetooth drivers.
replacing those with standard ones would fix it, but it's not as easy as switching a few files.

I can't find a $10 Zeemote on Amazon. How did you find it? I can only find a $10 article about the Zeemote from Tele-Service News. I sure hope you didn't accidentally buy that.

amazon uk has one for that price, but i don't know if they ship to the US(for a reasonable price)

How would you use this for a emulator their is only like 3 buttons on it

[Q] android connectivity with iPad? (use android as remote?)

I have the HTC G2 (Desire Z) on t-mobile. I just purchased a 32GB iPad 2 last week and am waiting for it to arrive soon. I want to use it's video out features a lot with my TV and I also have an apple bluetooth keyboard for typing and stuff.
My main question is are there any apps that allow an android phone to be used as a remote or mouse for the iPad??
Just any apps that allow android and iOS to play nice together would be great to know about. (and I'm not really asking about games, more so productivity apps or remote control type apps) Thanks!
p.s. Please no fanboy/troll comments please. I seriously am just trying to get the most out of what I have purchased. I love android and I love the iPad 2, and I would love some input on making them play nice together as I can't find anything online besides tablet comparisons

Just found this:

I'm thinking using it to browse your phone on the ipad? Could work? Havnt tried it as I haven't received my ipad yet. But I think its worth a look.

I would love to have media controls for my iPad on my Moto X, so I could control my Youtube app. It's that possible?

[Q] Wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo?

Hi there,
Did a quick search like I am supposed to but didnt find the answer I was looking for. A quick search on our favourite online auction site and there are several listings from Honk Kong for a wireless keyboard/mouse (built in tracker ball) and it says that it is compatible with Xoom Wifi that I have. I doesnt say whether its bluetooth or wifi based as Im sure only the bluetooth would be of any use to me. It only states that the frequency is 2.4G but Im sure that some/all bluetooth devices use this frequency. Anyway, I have asked the seller to confirm how it connects and am awaiting a response. Was just wondering if anyone on here has tried one and if it works or not? Thanks in advance.

I would be very skeptical of electronics coming from Hong Kong. In case you were not aware of this, Motorola does actually make a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for the xoom. If you do a quick search on eBay for "xoom mouse", you will see several auctions with the combo for less than $60. Just my opinion, but I would rather spend a little more money on something that was not only tested with, but design for my device by the same manufacturer, especially when a little more money is only $60. I also looked at Moto's website and the keyboard is listed at only $40, didn't see the mouse. Here is a link to the keyboard:

You can get the keyboard for cheap at Best Buy. I belive it will cost $20.
I use an Apple Mighty Keyboard.
If you have a Android phone there are mouse apps in the Market in which you could use your phone as a mouse.

Hi there,
Cheers for the input and advice. I had a look on ebay for the official Moto keyboard and mouse set and couldt find any for the $60 price you mentioned. I am UK based aswell so would require the UK model aand not the US key layout. The cheapest I could find from a UK seller was around £85 which seemed a little steep. I would ofcourse prefer the official products for my Xoom and unfortunately Best Buy are shutting up shop in the UK and they dont have any in stock.
Thats why I was just checking to see if anyone had tried the product I mentioned. Ill keep looking and see if I can find the official UK set at a better price. Thanks again.
Melchius

Found one
Hi all,
Just want to say thanks agaon for your input and to wish you all a happy new year. I managed to find a UK official mouse and keyboard set for £64 delivered and decided it would make a nice late christmas pressie to myself. Cant wait for it to arrive as my new Samsung 42" LED smart tv is arriving tomorrow. Good times ahead.
Melchius

Happy as Larry.
Hi all,
Got my keyboard and mouse today and my new TV turned up aswell, a very good day all in all. Am also very pleased that the keyboard and mouse work on my laptop perfectly to boot.
