[Q] Controle android tablet with iphone - Asus Transformer TF700

So I have the tf700 tablet and an Iphone, are there any apps that let me controle my tablet through my phone? For instance if I watch youtube I can switch video and stuff, not just pause. Would be really awsome if I could controle the whole interface with my phone but I doubt that is possible.

Now, this makes me really curious: How do you use your tablet that you want to use your phone as a remote???
I usually have it in my hand, on my lap - somewhere in arms reach definitely...
Do you hang your tab on the wall across the room? You definitely have better eyes than I do, dude

A 10" tablet with HDMI can be connected to a projector to produce a 100" picture on the wall across the room. No need for eagle eyes.

I've done that a few times to give a presentation. You still don't need to use your phone as a remote for that, though...

what is so hard to understand? I want to switch between youtube videos while my tablet is connected to my tv, instead of getting my ass of the couch I want to do this on my phone, which happens to be an iphone, thus my problem.

If you have a jailbroken iphone look for WeBe++ in cydia. It turns the phone into a mouse track pad, keyboard, and ps3 controller. It works over wifi or even better, bluetooth. The app is also available for non jailbroken phones in the app store as just WeBe. I have never used this version but it seems like maybe it would only work over wifi at the time and I wanted the versatility of bluetooth. I use it when hooking the tablet to the television to watch movies.

according to the description this app doesn't support android, only mac and pc, which is normal to understand and there are other better apps for this controlling mac and pc purpose
btw it's rated 3 stars https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/webe-bluetooth-mouse/id348874608?mt=8
@OP: i don't think there's an app for this,

I doubt such an app exists, cobsidering tjat Apple wont let anything even so much as referencing to Android near them... (there is a hilarious topic in General about them censoring even the word Android in the comments on their appstore... :laugh: )

Like I said. I have never used the version in the Apple App Store. I know that version doesn't have as much access to the iphone system as the jailbroken version does. But when I use it on my jailbroken phone, the phone acts just like the track pad on the infinity's keyboard dock. Mouse pointer and all.

That reminds me, all that battery and work is a bit overkill since you can also simply use a wireless mouse comnected to the keyboard dock. ...

[Q] Will the Xoom support dual screening with the HDMI Out?

Hi all,
I have been trying to find information about this particular feature. I know of a similar feature on the iPad 1 & 2, where Keynote can be used to project a presentation on an external monitor whilst being controlled by the iPad etc. via a connection add-on (VGA or HD output)
Is there any mention or does anyone know of support for a dual monitor setup using the HDMI out port or even the micro-USB port?
I ask because this is a feature I would love to see but I'm not interested in the iPad because of the usual 'Jobs' approach and besides, the Xoom has way better specs in comparison.
Many Thanks,
Craig
what, you mean mirroring the xoom's display over hdmi? That's there by default..
You can watch a movie on the xoom and tv at same time not sure about video on tv control on xoom but I assume that it could happen

I think mirroring was a bit of an off term, I think I probably meant like a dual monitor support similar to that of a computer.
This is the iPad doing the "dual monitor" style I am trying to desrcibe

Hope that clears my question up a bit better.
There was an article on Engadget recently about a new Android app that allowed that. I don't remember the name though. It was probably commercial app.
I dont see why you wouldnt be able to use any standard HDMI splitter like this http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10113&cs_id=1011301&p_id=5418&seq=1&format=2

I don't want to split the signal from the Xoom, I'd like to create a second monitor similar to a computer dual monitor approach, like a second desktop if you will, where the Xoom would be a presentation controller and the HDMI Out signal would serve as the presentation itself, instead of duplicating the Xoom homescreen, where you could hold your finger on a part of the Xoom Screen and then on the output, a red dot like a laser would appear.
The idea is to offer a second screen, not mirroring the Xoom where you could create presentations, plug into a projector, and have the Xoom turn into a controller where you could preview upcoming slides, and then the outputted image, at the same time, would show the presentation full screen.
you can use a micro HDMI to HDMI and go directly to your projector or TV and it mirrors automatically. You can control everything from your tablet just fine.

still no cigar...
I think that many people did not quite understand what the OP was asking. He/she wants to hook up an external monitor to the Xoom and display a different image on the monitor as compared to the Xoom itself. On a Windows machine it would be called extended desktop. The iDisplay software does the opposite: it uses the Xoom as a second display.
Maybe someone else uses Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. You have a presentation mode there where, for example, you can see your PowerPoint presentation on a projector but the laptop screen will show the timeline, notes, and other useful options.
This option would be useful not only for PowerPoint presentations but also for watching movies from the Xoom on an HDTV but having the Xoom display turned off to save battery.
Not that this directly helps the OP but maybe someone else has any idea if there's a software for that need.
I get it, encase you want to watch two different porn0 flix at the same time. Nice...
I was thinking whether is possible to switch XOOM display off during watching the movie thru the HDMI. It could save battery. Anyone any idea whether it coould be possible?
Thanks

iDisplay would make the Xoom an extended desktop monitor for the PC and like funnycreature pointed out, the OP wants to use a secondary monitor for the Xoom instead.
Besides even if you wanted to use the Xoom as an external monitor for the PC (which I would actually like to do) iDisplay wouldn't be the way to go. After reading the reviews of the app it's not even close to being worth the $5 price tag. One person said that it will work on the Xoom, but is so slow it's pretty much unusable.

Bluetooth mini keyboard mouse combo!

Hey just wanted to share that are skyrockets can use BLuetooth mice and keyboards.

i run a streaming server from home and take my phone with me everywhere. i like to listen to my music, tv shows, and movies and its awesome streaming them through my phone.

How does the mouse pad work? I'm assuming that a mouse pointer doesn't just pop up or does it just scroll and such.

I picked mine up from eBay last year. Works amazing. I have had it linked to my playbook, MacBook Pro, and all my phones to date. Just wish the trackpad was a bit bigger. Thats the only complaint.
I bought the Mini Rii over a year ago, and maybe I've got a bad one, maybe I'm hard on it, but it didn't last. The quality isn't great, and once the battery starts to die it gets wonky. In the beginning recharging fixed it and or cycling the power switch, but now it takes several key presses to make it wake and respond.
The power cycling wasn't a big deal, and I didn't mind, until the microscopic switch's thumb knob fell off and was lost forever. Now I need a tooth pick or paper clip to cycle the power.
Another thing it does is lose it's mind on the cap lock. Sometimes it will cap lock, without the cap lock light on, and you have to turn cap locks on (light comes on) to get lower case. If that makes any sense.
The touch pad is also less responsive now too.
It didn't cost much, but I still expected it to hold up better than it did. This is just my experience, so take it as you will.
At this point I have a half working PC remote, and great laser pointer for the cat.

Asus Transformer Pad TF300-T

Since our house already has a main PC for the family to use, and my laptop is around two years old, I was thinking about getting a new device. I mainly want to watch HD YouTube videos, browse the web, play music and complete some homework. I looked at the Asus Transformer range because of the keyboard dock and want some opinions on it. Here is a link to the model I am speaking of on PC World...
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/asus-transformer-pad-tf300-t-tablet-pc-with-docking-station-13657744-pdt.html
First off, what is the build quality of this tablet like? Whilst I won't be throwing it about, I don't want something that feels like it is going to break at the slightest knock.
Since I want to do some homework on this tablet, what is the keyboard like? Is it comfortable to type with and, as with the tablet itself, is it of a sufficient build quality?
How long is the charging wire which it comes with, as I want to be able to use it from my chair whilst charging? Also, what is the battery life like? If I were to take this on a road trip, would it last a few hours for me to watch a movie?
Will this particular Transformer be getting an upgrade to the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS? If so, any news on when?
Finally, what is the general performance of the device like? Will I be able to smoothly flick between a browser and office suite when doing homework? How will games such as Dead Trigger run also?
EDIT 1: I forgot to ask whether or not you could plug in a USB Xbox 360 controller, USB hard-drive or USB mouse into the keyboard dock's USB port?

Anyone here tested out this tablet, or own one personally, and know whether it can satisfy me as a replacement for a laptop?
Nobody here tried this Asus Transformer or the Prime/Infinity ones?

[Q] Could I use my TF700 as a TV or something like that?

As we all know, TF700 has one of the greatest screen ever.
1900x1200 full HD resolution is even higher than my 720p TV..
Which makes me wanna play my xbox on TF700 if I could.
Is there any possible way to do that?
I heard u can connect some dvd players and watch it through TF700 screen, then why not XBOX?
Need some help here, It would be AMAZING if I could play Tekken on my TF700:laugh:

No. For that you would need some video input, which does not exist on the TF700.

You can connect a DVD *ROM* and watch the DVD being played by the TF700, like on a PC.

Fairly simple reason, much the same as why you can't use a laptop screen as the screen for an Xbox (i've tried. )
The tablet only has HDMI out. Meaning it can't recieve signals, it has no input. As such, hooking up your xbox will simply be trying to run water uphill.
A DVDplayer is an external media device, the same way a harddrive is. (A SATA is a glorified DVD player.) It doesn't recieve a media signal, it simply sees an external disc, and the media player plays the Video_TS.IFO file, which starts the film.
If you hunt around Google you'll see that there has been some work done on getting USB TV tuners to work in android. I haven't actually tried any of them, so I can't say anything about wether or not it's even worthwhile.
However, you do have another option that will work with a little effort, and that's to buy a network TV tuner like the HD homerun. Basically, the tuner sits on your network and you can use the tablet to watch TV off of it. The plus side of this is that you can use a VPN to connect your tablet to your network while on the road and if your connection is good enough, you can watch tv while away from the house as well.
Xbox isn't going to happen as there is no video input. For watching tv, you could always check out a slingbox. I had one of the first models and apparently they've gotten world's better.

Thanx all!
Well thanx for all your answers.
Now that I know that I cannot connect xbox *directly* to my TF700,
I'll look for different ways like the 'Splashtop' or USB TV tuners as mentioned above.
I still have a dream that one day I can play my xbox with docked TF700 somehow:fingers-crossed:
slingbox is awesome.

Extended display

Hi all
I have had a search to see if there is a topic for this, but nothing.
I was wondering if the Asus tf300t would be able to extend the display via the HDMI to another display or tv like windows does. I want to use dual monitor mode if that makes sense. I don't want it to mirror my tablet display on the tv.
Basically I want my son to watch a movie on the tv via HDMI from the tablet and that leaves me to still do stuff on my tablet screen. This would be nice if we are not at home or on holiday on rainy days.
Cheers

I dont think that is possible, as the chip for HDMI out virtually only allows for mirroring.

Not true, the same Tegra 3 is in the Surface RT and that device can extend its display on the HDMI port. Even to a resolution of 1920x1080.
I only think android can't do it because how would you control youre second screen.
