Remote spotify from mobile

Is ther any chanse to remote spotify from my mobile ? like i play music from spotify on my computer. And then i can change track, vol up/down from my htc hd2. Is this possible ? Thanks fore help!

I wouldnt mind that either, I got G-remote set up working for winamp but not sure how to make it work with spotify...

use remote desktop

That is a possibility, and that is what i am doing at the moment. But shouldnt there be a way to get g-remote to tell the "next song"-command (etc) to Spotify instead of Winamp?...

I figured out how to do that with one of the tutorials on their page (g-remote's)... So i suggest you look there lovenvik..

Yes. But then the computer logging off and the sound will not come out from the computerspekers.

Check out the options in the windows mobile rdp application... you can specify whether sound is played on the remote computer or on your device.

Thats good to know mate... could you not just post what you did here though? It would be helpful to others who may stumble across this thread on xda.

Are you using the one you can download from ther website or are you using the xda verision?
I tryed to install the one that xda have but i cant install the cab file (WM6BTPAN) get error code:1062 so it dont work fore me. The real verision from gsoftware are working thow, but its just a demo.

I tried posting this a couple of days ago but since in included urls then i could not post it. But I'm rewriting it now to tell you what to search for instead
I am using server version 1.3.3.71 and client version 1.3.2.96 (although i had to use an older one to add profiles since that one wont let me).
gbmsoftware.com (homepage of the developers) has a videotutorial under their FAQ called "How to add custom program to GMedia profiles". It shows how to make VLC controllable but works just as well with using the key shortcuts that Spotify use.
Just google "spotify keyboard shortcuts" and you should have no trouble finding it.
Same goes for lets say MPC... (my favourite)
Hope that helps
The demo version should work to try out, but getting your hands on a registered version might help... That's what I did

[Q] need to control my tab from pc!

Hey all,
I just got a tab today, all new so far. Due to my disability i really need to be able to control the tap from my windows pc(similar to my mobiler for winmo). I've seen android screencast, i can get it to come up on screen but more nor keyboard work.
I spent the whole day(12 hours) trying to get around this. Does anyone know of any apps that actually work? I don't mind paying for it either.
I've dried droid vnc server and its not really working either. Thanks in advance.

Try remote rdp enterprise. Available in the market. Install it. Works great.

Logmein ignition should help

droid explorer works.
enable usb debugging on the Tab
then go to tools, then plugin and select screencast. wait for java plugin to run and the screen for the Tab should pop up. you can control it from here.
it might be a little slow but it works.

Remote web desktop, acts as a proxy to most of the main functions.

other keyboards on unrooted KF

hi, I wanna install an other keyboard apps on the kindle, I tried to install more than one but each time after a successfull installation, I cannot see the keyboard anywhere, the only option in "INPUT METHOD " is the kindle keyboard
there's no "clear defaults " option for the kindle fire also, is there is a solution that doesn't require a root or CM7?

this shows more settings, but still no way to enable another keyboard through settings. Have you personally gotten this to work on an unrooted fire?

I've been trying to figure this out. I can't stnad the stock keyboard. I'm going to try to alter settings when I get home tonight,.

Well I have thumb keyboard and swype installed on mine, but had to root for both, because you have to move around some apk files that can only be done through root. Finding out a way to install without root would be amazing, seeing as how my root was broken all thanks to the last update!:/

There is a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376333
Some have had luck. I got it to recognize the different input method and was able to select and open Swype but I kept getting force close, I haven't had a chance to go back and play with it.

I find the only real problem with the built-in keyboard is that you can't completely disable auto-suggest. What a headache if you attempt to use a messenger or write an email while using any type of slang.

Thanks for the reply. I decided to just flash CM7 though.

when I reading this post, I saw "change input language" ... my bad... app in market give ability to change input language if you don't need to change keyboard...

RemoteIME / Android Smart TV remote app

Since I couldn't find any info about this anywhere... there you go :

Someone first said he managed to get this android app on his mobile/tablet to remotely control his Android Smart TV..(http://forum.energysistem.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=30)
The thing is that this forum is in spanish only, and that the link points to a chinese page.... so I thought I'd stick it here !!!
This said, I tried it on my HTC Desire and on My Asus TFT101 and I definitely can control my tv with both of them
hoping it will help
b0b0
ps: I'm really interested in knowing HOW can this software connect to my Android TV without me entering any passwords ... This means I can go to anyone's house with an android smart tv & control it??!!!

Just going to bump this as its working well with my ATV1200
Anyone else had a go with it.. and is there any hacks to it?
Also been playing with this one.. but cant seem to get it to work..

For some boxes, you need to go into settings and enable remote control.

Amazon Alexa

Hi,
Can someone drop the HTC Amazon Alexa app?
I am in a country where it's no supported. Do it's not pre installed. Although I do have a Dot. Which works fine with my home automation.
Thanks.

Not out yet

I saw on YT someone showing how it works.

Hi there, here you go. But she is still a bit buggy.

Seems to work pretty well for me, I'm in Australia, so missing some features. I had to get a second Alexa apk (from google) to enable skills etc, but works well with my Harmony hub (turn on TV/music etc). Understands my accent a bit better than Google too
