[REQ] HD2 as PS3 media control

Hi guys!
As a lot of other people, I use my PS3 more as a media center / Blu-Ray player, then I'm actually playing on it. Every time I sit down to watch a movie from my media server or a BD-disk, I'm annoyed of how bad the PS3-remote looks. Especially when my beautiful HD2 is always laying next to it.
So:
I was hoping that some of you geniuses here might have the same impression as me, and see the value in a "HD2 PS3 media control"-app, which uses Bluetooth.
I would think that it only needs directional buttons for maneuvering in menus, a OK-button, the "Playstation"-button and the 4 actionbuttons; X, O, [] and /\.
With so many PS3-owners in the world, I'd guess that this application would be quite "sellable" for the developer as well
Cheers, Eirik.

Would like it =D!

HD2 as PS3 media control
Hey
Go to mobilesrc.com and try Mobile Remote. Works pretty well on my Touch Pro 2. Didn't get my HD2 in the mail yet. Might not be exactly what your looking for but it works with the PS3.

hmm.. i'm watching this thread.. this could prove to be interesting..

I asked the dev already, Mobile Remote does not work with HD2 bluetooth stack.

I made a little "mock-up" of how this might look, and would enable us to control most of the PS3's functions with the HD2's brilliant touch screen.
Unfortunately I was neither allowed to post the picture, the link or even put the link to the picture in a code-box :-/

Anybody? ... anything?

I think this might already be possible.......

Make phone a Bluetooth Receiver/Dongle?

Hey guys, I have a PS3, and I want to make its controller to work with my PC, thing is, it involves having an Bluetooth USB Dongle, which I don't. An example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thing is my Xperia x10 has bluetooth, so why can't I make it receive the controller's signal and transmit it through USB? There must be a way to make it like a Bluetooth receiver. Do you guys know how?

wow, that is a custom software job for sure, one that is almost surely not going to work simply because the MotionJoy drivers are finnicky when it comes to bluetooth controllers.
Let me tell you from experience, you want to purchase a cheap USB dongle, one that is known to work with the MotionJoy ps3 drivers if you want any chance of getting your ps3 controller to work wirelessly with your PC. I got one for like $5-10 bucks. Save yourself the trouble and do the same.

=(
It would be soo interesting lol. But actually on the phone's part it's not that complicated, it just needs a software to make it a bluetooth receiver!

you have to install third party bluetooth apk in order to make it a receiver, you can find in at the market...cheers

I've searched for it, but without success. Which apk is it?

So as to not clutter the board with duplicate requests: I was wondering if this can be done on Windows Mobile as well? Would anyone know some apps/hacks that might enable this?

ds3 controller to non-bluetooth pc
Rooted android device > sixaxis controller app > then the droidmote app and Corresponding pc receiver

Trying to do the same but with just a regular generic phone gamepad. Any update to solutions involving this?

Tablets W/SIM card add On and General ?s W/Tablets

Ok so my ?s are what tablest can have the add on to use you sim card? I seen a table adams notion ( something like that) that was able to use a 3g USB modem. Has any one tried that, and how is it?
I know the Black Berry has that option about adding the bridge which is like a tethering. But could you just use any table that has a usb port and get a 3g usb modem to put your sim card into and use the data of that.

What about adding VOIP? to tablets and how hard it is to add if you can, Over all how could you really use your tablet to make and receive calls?. Besides using skype, and whats good for conference calling/ meeting app:
Now for tethering, So lets say I buy the galaxy 10.1 (wifi) and I want to @ least have the option to tether what is the easy way going about it? IE: I have a rooted htc inspire which will allow me to tether. But if someone does not have a rooted phone what other way other then Hotspots that they can use, or can the use their mobile air card thats usb IF their tablet has USB slot, and if supports the drive to be installed? But also what if they had an Iphone and a android tablet they can still use tether does not matter iphone or not?.
Samsung Galaxy 10.1 any way to add more memory I have been looking and I know its still new but is their something that its an "adapter" to use for the micro sd card.
Also on that not lets say you have a Android tablet and you have Google TV, now I know the google tv has android market and you can transfer apps and etc etc.. Can you use the tablet to control like direct tv I seen the app for it but for tablet usage. And has any you use the google tv and how do you like it what can you do with the market place, I know you can buy apps and send it to you phone and it should work the same way with tablets, Correct me if Im wrong lol.. Just looking for other Info on the use of Googel TV and using tablets.
I know Samsung All share (http://www.samsung.com/global/allshare/pcsw/index.html) works nice what I heard. But its limited to samsung products. Has anyone used that before and how is it.
Thanks for any info, and thanks for sharing ideas .

Mods can we move this to the general tablet area.

What tablet?

I have been looking for a tablet but i seem to be a bit confused with whats going on with the android software. Every tablet i have looked at doesnt seem to have the traditional android features and settings most have a whole different play store called either getjar or applib etc the salesman said that i needed to get a tablet with honeycomb 3.0 as this still has the back door access for rooting is this true. What decent tablets are about for around £150 doesnt matter if is second hand just looking for something with Bluetooth wifi and usb host which to my knowledge is available with android 3.0. Ive looked at the archos g3 and g9 but they have android 4.0 and root access is blocked also doesnt have half the functions also looked at the viewsonic viewpad 7 but thats stuck on android 2.2
Any suggestions or advice on anything ive mentioned would really be great.

1) PLEASE use punctuation.
2) Almost any name-brand tablet that runs 4.0.x (ICS) or 4.1.x (JB) can be rooted. If it uses "getjar" or something it's running Java but probably not Android, any Android tablet should have "Play Store" which actually has nothing to do with rooting or not.
If you have that much money to spend I suggest you look into getting an HP TouchPad (if you don't need a front facing camera) or an Acer or a transformer.

The archos i looked at in store today said it had android 4 ics but the salesman said it wasnt the proper android software and i would be better off using one with honeycomb 3.2 but i will have a look at the suggested models online now

Remote control and *view* your phone camera with Android Wear

Just wrote an Android Wear app to remote control *and view* your cell phone camera live. I have a series of other hacks I plan to do in the near future but here's a start. Open source too so hope people can help contribute and make it better! Welcome feedback, pull requests, suggestions.
On the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dheera.wearcamera
Source on GitHub:
https://github.com/dheera/android-wearcamera
Post on my website:
http://dheera.net/projects/android-wearcamera

Now you can spy on people and take photos of them without them knowing it xD

Very cool app. Works well. Thanks for this!!

This is brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!
Well done!

Totally awesome app!

I've made a bunch of updates to Wear Camera Remote since the first release now. I've added basic support for turning the flash on/off and switching between front/rear camera. But I'm doing it differently than all those paid apps (e.g. Pixtocam) in that I want the UI to blend in well with Google's UI. Also small buttons on a smartwatch is awful to use.
More features to come in the future when I get time, stay tuned. Or if someone wants to help extend this vision, it *is* an open source GPL project.

Tried this, awesome!! thanks

Awsome app !
Can you consider for the next version to be able to disable the screen on the phone ?

It's this for nexus devices only or all phones? It doesn't seem to work on my LG G3.

Not working on my HTC One either. The only app that's given me phone->watch video is LookBehind but it cost like $2. In any event, people are blown away by this James Bond-esque feature
