Hi, Im going to be gradudating this year and i want to screw with the teachers. Does anyone know if there anyway to shut off an Epson projector with my iPhone? I want to use it on the projectors at my school when there are clueless teachers around so i can shut them off or turn them on. I use the iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.3 Thanks!!

I'm sure a lot of you have thought this over so i wanted to get your opinions.
The other day I was telling a friend about a phone with a 5+ inch screen and got to thinking (I love big screens, cant stand less than 3")... At what point should a person just buy a netbook with a 3g card and use VOIP on a bluetooth headset? I mean, my wife has a MSI Wind and honestly It is small enough I could carry it almost everywhere with me. It also cost less than my phone!!!!. The Wind isn't even one of the smaller ones. It has a 10.2 screen. Look at this one though http://gizmodo.com/5084147/umids-mini-netbook-makes-eees-look-massive (they should have made the screen wider but I guess they were trying to use off the shelf parts to keep it cheap).
I think the lines are definitely blurring and I honestly cant decide what to do for my next phone. A netbook with a 3g router is sounding very tempting. What thoughts do you guys have? or do you plan to just buy both lol.
I'd draw the line where you'd feel like a tit holding a netbook against your head tbh. Phones are for making phonecalls remember
Smartphone's are going to die out soon. Why do I need a Touch HD AND a netbook? I don't, I need a littlebitty Nokia that only phones and texts - discuss...
pocket
it´s true that you can carry them, but even little notebooks can´t be put inside your pants pockets...yet....
It's about convergence, having one device that does it all.
I still see idiots carrying a cellphone, an ipod, and a notebook. And they use the phone to go online with their notebooks via 3G.
I just have my i780 and the extra battery pack (i780s come with an extra batt with a stand alone charger case).. and oh yeah.. I also use it for GPS navigation.
Go for one device that can do it all. Though your need for a big screen will be the deciding factor.
Personally i have all three and carry two, Trinity and iPod, on a regular basis as the battery in my Trinity struggles to last all day sometimes when i am reading and replying to mail let alone trying to listen to music as well. Also my iPod is big enough to hold my entire library so there's no "wish i had that with me today" moments. The notebook is for computing somewhere at a desk/table that isn't my own, usually my parents or friends, and as such usually hooks to their WiFi.
You don't stick the netbook to your ear you use a bluetooth headset. Also some of these netbooks are getting small enough to stick in your pocket! Look at the one I linked.
Battery life would be an issue though. My wifes Wind lasts about 45 mins on battery. Those reviews that claim 2.5 hours are BS. Maybe if you turn the screen on super dim, wifi / bluetooth off, switch on econo-mode and read an ebook. In an even smaller netbook with about the same guts I bet battery life would be horrid.
For me this is the limit line between lap top and phone
I still think we might see a movement away from big phones, or people using two devices but not concurrently. For business use a decent netbook with 3G and bluetooth headset would be ideal, providing someone can actually one day make a battery that lasts a whole day yet doesn't have to be on wheels.
However, as useful as that'd be in work, it's not really a solution for how do I phone my missus to tell her I need to come home from the pub?
So I think a big device (with 3G or similar) for work and a small/tiny device (with radio and nothing else) for play/always. Aren't we at the point of a Bluetooth sized headset that has a phone in it? Or a comedy sized watch - aren't LG launching one soon?
The laptop would need to remain on (idling) the whole time, and they're just not designed for that today. In the end, having a laptop with 3G inside and a bluetooth "phone" or having a basic 3G phone and a laptop is not so different... you always need both parts.
I'm also using both a trinity and a Gigabeat F40. I just don't have the same response quickness, autonomy and storage on my trinity. So unless we get a pdaphone with a real battery life (something like 10 hours under heavy use), with 64GB of storage (it should arrive soon enough) and that doesn't struggle to playback a mp3 while surfing the net, I won't leave my loyal mp3 player at home.
I guess that 1 year from now I may find an appropriate device on the market.
I own the Asus TF and while its an amazing device, I dont see a purpose to owning it, other than the coolness factor.
I also have a 11.6" Acer Aspite laptop and a HTPC connected to my 50" 3D TV and Denon HT System, not to mention the htc Thunderbolt phone. Between these 3, is there something that the tablet can exclusively do that I cant with them?
nope, its just a coolness thing, copying isheep is a favored pastime of android users
one of the best examples of what a waste they are happened a few weeks ago at a friends house.
He put music on on his PC
He sat on the sofa
He then grabbed his Ipad
He tried to remote control his pc, swore some, poked it a few times for a few minutes and THEN finaly changed the volume.
All rather odd really as his PC is right next to his sofa, he could have easily just reached over with his arm and changed it in a few seconds......
So really, is there actually a point to a tablet other than pose/geek factor? I honestly can't think of one, which is why in my house we still don't have one.
Well for me, I use mine to basically stay on the net comfortably with decent screen size while I'm somewhere where I cannot access a computer.
Example, no TV in my room, so go into another room, bring NC with me. Profit.
Next example, girlfriend's house, no computer, tether phone to NC, Profit.

I had something similar happen this weekend. I have netflix on my Samsung TV, on my 360, and I can connect to it through my pc/laptop. But no, I was flashing a GB rom on my Thunderbolt to get netflix to work on my phone, and when it was done, was watching a movie on the tiny screen. My wife made fun of me for it...
Web (including remote access to work), books, and movies, 7 inch screen, sitting lightly in my front pocket or in my satchel for 2 hours a day of commuting by train and multiple trips by air every year.
At home? Yeah, I use a pc. At work, mostly the same, though I am starting to use evernote on the tablet instead of writing out scribbles during meetings that litter my desk later.
I used to have 2+ books, a notebook/sketchbook, and a laptop with me... always. My spine and shoulder think the nook color + wifi tether is the most awesome thing ever. Maybe it's not for you, but it's not without merit for sure.
My In-laws liked my Asus so much that they bought got themselves one. I set it up and they are loving it. They live a couple of hours away tho which makes it hard to be their support person. I can walk them thru simple things but sometimes onsite support is required and that is hard. They are 2 hours drive away.
So is there any app besides RWD, which will allow me to control their table over the internet from either my tablet or a pc? Everything seems to be the reverse, controling your pc from the tablet. I would like to take control and get the job done quickly rather than hunt and peck each step or driving 4 hours round trip.
I know about remote web desktop. It is exactly what I am looking for except it requires root. But since they purchased it and may need to send it back for service someday rooting is not an option for them. Trust me I have tried to talk them into it. Actually I havent checked but since it is so new it is probaly a b70 and can not be rooted...
Any ideas?
As I don't believe there are any software-based screensharing options available at the moment, you can go the ghetto route:
Have them point a webcam at the screen and talk them through what to do over Skype.
It is the other way around because the point of a tablet is to have an even more mobile computer so u can leave your bulky and heavy pc behind, thus creating the need to remotely connect to your pc when you are out and about. You are looking for a solution to a very small, niche problem. All I could suggest is, Google search and keep looking around on the market.

There is a program called Bomgar, I don't know the price of it, but I doubt it's cheap.
We use it at work to connect to PCs and they have an android app that would do what you want.
Why my Android phone doesn't make my coffee? It sounds like a ridiculous question, right? But hear me out. When Bluetooth came out in 1994 it was said it will change our lives. It was said we would be able to control all appliances in the house by bluetooth. But here we are 19 years later and I have yet to see a single Bluetooth coffee machine. Or is it just me who doesn't look at the right place. What are the coolest gadgets you can control from your Android phone? I know I can control my PC (with Splashtop) but what else? Or what would you like to be able to control with your Android?(and don't say your wife, I tried it doesn't work he he he)
You know, I literally thought of a way to get your phone to make you coffee with tasker
It requires disassembling the phone though, so don't be excited. Theoretically, you could make yourself a bluetooth controller for a coffee machine with an arduino, or a raspberry pi, or an fpga, or similar.

Hi all,
As the title says, I'm trying to find out if it's possible to connect a LG G6 or V30 to a Samsung 4k Smart TV without having WiFi?
Example: I use my current Note 5 to just screen mirror (sources on TV, then screen mirror on phone) to connect and can stream all day just using my mobile data, no need for WiFi connection.
I do have a Chromecast, because someone I used to trust about tech stuff I didn't know about told me I could use it to cast to it without WiFi... now I know better and own a Chromecast. I'm trying to decide on a new phone to get, and need to know if this brand new TV I just bought today is going to ruin my chances of upgrading to the phone I want or keep me on a Galaxy phone.
Thanks for any help!
