[Q] xbox360 remote? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any apps or mods that can have the Nexus s as a remote controller for the xbox 360?

If u have Xbox live, you can get the smartglass app, that lets u use your phone as a controller for everything except playing games. So u use your phone as a controller for dashboard, music, video, browser, any apps, etc

Are you on a version of android before 4.x.x? If so, that's why you cant use smartglass. I don't know of any other mod to allow this, the Xbox doesn't even have a Bluetooth chip, so i doubt anyone went into the trouble of making an app for it, especially with smartglass out.

That's really weird.. Try to change your build prop to display you have a galaxy nexus, or maybe it has something to do with your area?
Try this: uninstall Google play updates ( settings->apps->google play->uninstall updates)
Now open the play store, and try to install

Turn screen off whilst displaying on TV via HDMI?

Is this possible? I use it for browsing the internet and general tablet, but can you turn off the screen when just watching or not using the transformer? Was wondering if this was possible at all.

i believe that the youtube app has that function as well as the google movies app but i dont think anything else does it. You would have to ask the app dev to include the feature

Does it exist? App to use Xperia Play controls on tablet.

Is there an app that will allow you to use the Xperia Play physical gamepad on other Android devices like a tablet?
I've seen a lot of remote control apps but they are only for controlling using buttons on the touchscreen.
It would be best if it didn't require root.
Check a post of that in this section

If you find one, please let me know. There's an app called something like droid mote server which I think allows you to do so but you need root which I don't have

It puts Xplay controls on the screen of the phone, so if your tablet has a game that supports Xperia Play you can use that. As of now it doesn't map the physical controller inputs.
Maybe trying with the game keyboard app and this one??

That's a great idea. Unfortunately, I don't have game keyboard so if anyone else could try?

Doesn't droidmote server work? It needs root and isn't free but surely if it doesn't work you could get a quick refund? i don't have root and i'm still looking. Tablet remote seems to be the best so far. If only the developer updated it to make it work with the physical buttons...

Hey any one know about an app that i could leave my phone somewhere and watch the camera from my tablet or someting similar??

Try ipwebcam. I used to use it on my phone to use as a webcam, and you can view the stream online which I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do with your tablet.
I'm sure there are other webcam apps out there also. I seem to remember using one that streamed the camera over wifi but I can't remember the name of it.

[Guide] AllShare Cast Dongle Update

Just updated to the LJ02 firmware on my AllShare Cast Dongle and have noticed a few improvements
Video and Audio quality are noticeably improved
I no longer have to reset the dongle in order to re-connect. However I still have to reboot the phone before connecting.
I have not tested this myself, but according to Steve Kondik (Cyanogen), the update makes the dongle compatible with 4.2 miracast.
Only negative is that I feel like there might be a slight increase in lag.
Here are the steps to update the firmware on your AllShare Cast Dongle.
To install this update you're phone must be running a TouchWiz ROM with AllShare Cast. It appears that Verizon is blocking the update (of course) so you will need to follow either of the following to update.
You can download the AllShare Cast update apk.
OR
You can modify your build.prop. I set mine to the Sprint S3 and it worked no problem.
Modifying your build.prop requires root access. As always, I recommend running a Nandroid backup of your system partition before modifying your build.prop.
And of course, I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone/dongle from following my guide.
Backup your build.prop file (system/build.prop).
Modify your build.prop to the below values (I use build.prop editor)
ro.product.model=SPH-L710
ro.product.name=d2spr
ro.product.device=d2spr​
Reboot your device
Download the AllShare Cast update from the Google Play store.
Connect your phone to your AllShare Cast Dongle and accept that you wish to install the update.
Restore your build.prop file or manually set it to the following:
ro.product.model=SCH-I535
ro.product.name=d2vzw
ro.product.device=d2vzw​
You may need to reboot your phone in order to connect to the dongle after the update installs.
I hope this helps somebody out there. Good luck and enjoy your new firmware!
just uploaded the update without changing my bulid.prop but i would be surprised if verizon was blocking it..... they block everything!!!!!
second that you were right it was the allshare cast update not the dongle update what!!!! the hell why is verizon blocking this...
Do people like this more than the MHL adaptor? Going to buy one of them tonight.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. It probably has something to do with their approval process is my guess.

Up to this point I think the attitude has been more "wait-and-see" with Miracast. It still is a little buggy, but I am really liking it so far. Being able to watch content on my TV from my phone without wires is a real game changer imo. For example, a couple weeks back my wife and I wanted to watch Lord of the Rings in order to get psyched up for The Hobbit. I have all three movies on my PC, so I was able to stream them to my phone via DLNA and watch them on the TV with AllShare Cast. It was a real round-about way to watch them, but it worked great!

Any chance someone could rip the Allshare S/W Update APK and post it? Want to try running it from the Nexus 4 but not able to get it from the market.
can someone please post the the file I can't download it all. I need the .apk
I will try to do this, but it is likely I won't be able to get to it for a few days.

As far as I know, there is no way to do this. You will need a Samsung device that has AllShare Cast.

Only downside is streaming video from xfinity, and HBO GO, and and Netflix is out of sync. Using the MHL adapter works best. The only good thing I found the hub was good for was movies already on my phone. At least those movies sync.

I noticed that also.... But on my phone when I plug in the mhl adapter xfinity the doesn't work.....

I pushed the wfdbroker to my system app folder and rebooted, but now when I try to connect, the dongle sw update force closes and the tv is stuck on the connecting screen.

This is what you need in order to cast any screen from your phone even if the phone has a screen mirror option, your tv needs a receiver to do so even a smart tv needs it

Three is a new screen mirroring by using your Chromecast in the latest update, only certain devices will have this capability though. I don't believe our phone was included in that list... Sadly

Here's where I was getting my info from... http://www.droid-life.com/2014/07/0...now-works-for-screen-mirroring-to-chromecast/
There is an app that unlocks Mirroring on the Chromecast for all devices. Unfortunately, even though it is unlocked it doesn't always work. For the S3, it works fine on Touchwiz based ROMS but not on AOSP. The developer is still trying to figure out why it isn't working on all devices/ROMS.

Good news however, apparently r3pwn has found a fix to this issue and is working on it now. At some point today we should have a fix!
