Since the interface seems draggy on the Tablet HDMI stick builds/hardware for 2.4ghz wireless control devices or bluetooth keyboards and mice, I am looking for something with a remote, so the lady has "ease of use", and "less complication...
Think one-trick-pony for Netflix.
Has anyone used the AndroidTV's that Roku seems to be based on such as something like these:

I want to know if these remotes function in Netflix, as I know their app really sucks with a pointing device such as mouse, mainly due to their foreground popup, not actually being a popup and when using arrow keys it scrolls the background... Do remotes on devices such as this work in the old Android (4.0) builds of Netflix, or has someone tried any of these AndroidTV boxes/sticks that work well with an IR remote and Netflix (assuming that it is IR)?
OR what is the cheapest functional stable Roku-like, or Netflix streaming device with a full remote (4-way cursor, back, home, and maybe power button)?
Are Netgear streaming players a good alternative to Roku?
Mainly because Roku's 90 day phone-support, and the remainder of the 1 year support all via e-mail (unless you pay an extra $12 fee) really pissed me off, not to mention having to activate EVERY DEVICE for a Roku sucks.
Bumpity-dumpity for input...
Does anyone have any RJ45-wired AndroidTV devices?

Hi All,
Many phones nowdays have a builtin FM radio transmiter, my phone doesn't, so I connected a regular FM Transmiter to the headphone jack of my phone and I am able to transmit frequenices to a radio receiver.. In general I am able to listen music from my phone player on to another FM radio receiver.
My question..:
Is it possible to built a software/application that can control a RC toy (like a RC car/truck/helicopter) using the FM transmiter (Internal or external).
I am not a developer or electronic engineer, but as per my understanding the RC toys work on FM transmission.. i.e. FM signals received by the RC toys receiver transmited from the remote control..
If we can make a application that can help transmit certain frequencies out of the receiver it would be great fun... after all hi-end phones nowdays are toys..
Moved as not software release.
Is it possible...?
What you propose makes sense but the fm transmiters in devices are not very powerfull. They are more intended for short range use within an automobile. Saw a video before where guy used his n900 to control mini helecopter but he had to stay within a couple of feet to maintain control. Then there is THIS which uses wifi and is pretty damn cool. On my winmo device I use remote desktop to control my train layout in the backyard through a host computer in the house on my network.

Backyard.
And yes I'm a dork and a nerd. Just to avoid any criticism. But bring it on anyway...
good day.
Wow, your train setup looks good...!!
and that AR.Drone for iPhone is also amazing..!!
Hope we get something for our windows mobile withour the need of Remote Desktop..
So I got a iRobot 7in Android tablet (WM2.1.2_105)... was about $86 shipped.

I've had quite a bit of experience with these kinds of devices so it was fairly easy to get it rooted, hacked, optimized for best performance and working with Android Market.
...but optimized or no, it's still a low-spec device (256MB RAM, I'm quite sure the processor is below 600mHz... no 2D or 3D acceleration, 800x480 display), and I'm fine with that because I only got it because paying $160 for a Kindle that just reads books and nothing else seemed kinda retarded... especially when Android has a Kindle app.
Anyway, the keyboard (standard virtual keyboard) is actually the problem I've been having here. If I try to type the speed I'm used to typing, the device will skip strokes because it's not fast enough to keep up with me, and has all this predictive stuff+key enlargement effects slowing it down (of course, I tried the obvious solutions of disabling everything I can in Keyboard settings... still slow).
Are there any bare-bones keyboard apps with no added "under the hood" functions that you guys know of?
try this link..
scroll at the middle of the page.. u will see a download option.. download those keyboard apps.. it can also run or other devices besides htc.. download your correct resolution keyboard (download all and see which works best for you)
you will download a zip file.. install the two apk's...

GOOD DAY
hello. i have bought a keyboard and a mouse, something like that:

i want to connect the keyboard to my galaxy S, but the galaxy dont detect the keyboard and the mouse =(
how can i put this working? i have try with the bluetooth, wireless, and BlueInput, and dont detect...
thanks
I believe you can`t use a wireless keyboard and attach it to your smartphone.
But check YT and search for "Samsung Galaxy Tab & Galaxy S mini bluetooth keyboard with Joystick mouse".
The video shows something similar to what you want.
You need a bluetooth keyboard to connect it to your phone.
That keyboard seems to be a RF one.
hello, this keyboard work with android?:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I´ve found some nice ones on ebay. just do a search there.
Some bluetooth keyboards on dealxtreme, i think that can be compatibles, around 30$
If in doubt and you have the keyboard. Try loading cyanogenmod 7.1 . I know when I was playing with the six axis controllers it uses a different kernel for Bluetooth and works much better.
i tried some logitech bluetooth devices (mouse&tastatur) and they worked brilliant... without an extra app, root,...!
I recently purchased a Motorola XOOM for a great bargain price and I've got it all customized the way I like it. However, there are a few things I'm wondering about that hopefully a senioer XOOMER can answer for me.
1. What would you say the best Twitter application for an Android tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich is? I've taken a look at a lot of them (TweetCaster, Plume, TweetComb) and most of them fall short or have slow dreadful user interfaces.
What would you say is the best?
I originally had plans to use the Seesmic Twitter application (shown below) however it isn't available and we haven't heard anything about it for a year now.

2. What game controllers are compatible with the Motorola XOOM? I'm looking to play some games on the XOOM and I tried using a wireless XBOX 360 remote with a USB cable into my USB host cable but it didn't work.
I purchased this device (DealExtreme) and when I plug a USB key in or a USB mouse it is deteced so I'm guessing it works, but now I just need to know what game controllers work.
3. What other tablet specific applications (preferably Ice Cream Sandwich designed) would you suggest I get?
Completely different note; is it just me or does the 8tracks application not work on the Motorola XOOM?
Thanks
I just use the standard twitter app from the store and as for controllers theres a guide on here how to set up a ps3 pad on xoom
Sent from my Xoom using XDA
Thanks.
Any USB gamepads will work. The Xbox controller needs drivers for the wireless dongle. Also, PS3 + Wii controllers also work.
As far as apps.. Evernote, Quickoffice HD (or similar), perhaps..
I have P3113 - Tab 7.0 Wifi/IR blaster. The cable that came with it (ebay) does not seem to support USB data connections. charges just fine. I bought another wire online (this was years ago) to no avail, still no data connection.
In comparing to the image here: https://pinoutguide.com/visual/gen/samsung_galaxy_tab.jpg (with pins being numbered 1 on the right and 30 on the left, I have pins:
3USB_DP_CON I/OUSB Data +4USB_DM_CON I/OUSB Data -
7V_BUS_1 P 8V_BUS_1 P
15Gnd P 16Gnd P
30Gnd P
Which seems like it should (?) work for data transfer with a computer. (make a lot more sense than the inverse)
I've looked around and have seen a lot of pintouts to modify things to support audio or whatever else, but does anyone know if the pinout I have is valid for USB data transfer? Is there something I can do to get the data connection working? Or do need to play some roulette with cable buying? (Any recommendations?)
I've popped the casing off the plug and it seems like wiring there should be mapped correctly, though it does look like it's cheap for sure, but there's no resistors or anything, wasn't sure if there needs to be for "standard" data usage.
Any thoughts would be great. I'm not looking to do much more as to hardware hacking right now, just getting it rooted and then more or less a simple controller.
