I'm looking into getting some of these to replace a few "dummy" switches that I have that just act as scene controllers in my lighting network. From the videos I've seen, it appears that they run Android (here's a video showing the google keyboard being used).
My issue is, I want to use them with my native home automation apps as simply android tablets/intercoms on the wall. Does anyone own one and can confirm if anything like adb is available over wifi?

I have some questions about coding specifically, this seems like something to put in the development forum, but its rules seem to specify that it is not.
I am making some GPS applications currently for my phone and would like to have some tips on being "friendly" with other GPS programs.
I have created a program that does GPS tracking and records coordinates and speed while driving. When I run this at the same time as Google Maps, it loses the ability to query the GPS device intermittently. What I would like is to be able to see if the GPS device itself is available. Currently I am using the GPS library provided by the Microsoft Sample with some edits (it was doing some unfortunate thread locking that it had no right to know about for a class library).
My hope is that my GPS app can recognize that another program is using it, OR it can recognize that the GPS device has been disabled by another program and turn it back on. Currently the sample library is either Open or Closed but does not actually seem to query the device to get these device states back.
Does anyone have some good example code for this? I intend to keep coding it, but right now it seems I will have to ignore other software on the phone that might be using it until I can get some help on this.
I use a p500 lg and I asked for help to learn how to create a bluetooth connection here
But now the question becomes more about linux and it seemed right to change topic, although I have not found a more appropriate section of this.
My PC can communicate with the smartphone bluetooth but I can not pull up a internet connection.
I'm trying with the program Blueman, if you knowing another good method... but I'm not a pro user.
To make the nicest thing I manufactured an animated gif of latest operation of last unsuccessful operation: http:/ / oi42.tinypic.com/8wa6ok.jpg (I still can not put links)
Thanks
Hi, simple problem here. I need to make an Android app that reads a file on PC (picture or movie) and displays it on the screen. WiFi is not an option so it MUST work via USB. It must work on MAC (LINUX acceptable, NOT WINDOWS). Looking around there are 3 ways to do this:
1) reverse tethering. If I manage to have all internet traffic on USB then I can access files on my machine via web server. Looks a bit over complicated though. I looked all over the net and couldn't find out how to do on my WiFi tablet (Galaxy tab7 plus Wifi, Android 3.2, no 3G). Some solutions require enabling the "USB tethering" option on the tables, which is not there for WiFi only. I couldn't get to work the method that "netcfg usb0 dhcp" either.
(Note: WIN users seem to be happy with this UsbPortForwarding.aspx but I need something that runs on Mac or Linux)
2) Direct USB access. Do we have a method to allow an Android app to read a file on the computer? As far as I what I read, the answer is no.
3) USB to ethernet adapters. That would be great but again I still have to find an adapter that will work with Honeycomb
Any hints? pls help, looks like such a simple thing to do but it's really hard without WiFi!
cheers!

There's the reverse tethering article from the portal last month. Not sure if that's exactly what you need because I've never used the app. Give it a go. Hopefully it works.
thanks, I've seen that, it's the WIN-Only solutions which I mentioned. Seems to work very well but unfortunately I need a unix based machine.
Quite shocking that there is only a Win version, looks like a problem that would be very easy to solve in unix (IF one knew what to do..
Any unix-gurus opinions on this?

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
I understand that this forum is to direct me to a relevant thread or topic to post under. Would appreciate guidance for where to post the following question...
I am looking for a remote desktop solution, like LogMeIn or TeamViewer that doesn't require me to do any detailed configuration.
The problem is that LogMeIn, for example, won't treat my Note 3 phone as a tablet, so I can't use the mouse like a normal mouse. (The settings for mouse are "move mouse" and "move screen", but there is no direct mode available for phones to use a mouse like a regular mouse.)
My device is an Android 4.4 KitKat Samsung Note 3 phone (unfortunately rooting is not an option for me), and I am using it with the Note 2 dock with an external monitor and wireless usb keyboard/mouse. Everything works great except I can't find a good remote desktop solution that will allow me to work "normally" in terms of the mouse.
I also have Win 8 Home version and do not want to configure port forwarding and a fixed ip to solve rotating external IP address assignments. (Please excuse me if I didn't say that correctly, but I really don't want to deal with those kinds of complexities.) Yes, I realize that I may have too many constraints - no configuration challenges (which I think rules out VNC or standard RDP), and also no rooting of the phone. But I am willing to pay a small monthly subscription, e.g. I looked at PocketCloud with $5/month, but that doesn't seem to support my requirement either from a quick look at the manual.
Is there anyone who can suggest a good solution for my situation?
Hi,
The info that you provided is great, however the Note 3 is divided up on XDA by carrier, so:
If you will type Note 3 in the box above (type to find your device) , select your carrier version, go to that forum's Q & A to post your question, you should be good to go !!
Regards.

Thanks! XDA Assist is a great idea. First time I've ever seen that in a forum.
And I really like your tag line...
To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world.
Hello geniuses, ( and I mean that literally, you guys are amazing) I have Direct TV and just got my hands on there Cinema connection kit witch allows me to connect to an internet source wireless-ly. Anywho, the error I am getting is asking for my default gateway, and my DNS, and that is way over my head. Can anyone assist? I am running a rooted Turbo. Thanks in advance!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's unclear what Android-related specific problem you have but if by "Turbo" you mean a Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo, there is a forum specifically for questions about that device at http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help where you may want to ask Turbo-related questions.
That said, if the Direct TV device simply needs information about your internet connection, you would need to know the address of your WIFI router (it'll be something like "192.168.0.1") and your default DNS server (maybe "8.8.8.8" for Google DNS?), something whoever installed your internet connection should be able to provide.
If all else fails, try posting with all relevant details in the general forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general where someone might be familiar with your specific situation.
Good luck!
I appreciate your reply... and yes I was referring to the droid trubo. The internet service I am referring to, however, is my Turbos hotspot. I figured anyone running 4.4 or 5.1, no matter the device could possibly help. I know its possible, and I came very close last night to getting my Direct TV to connect to my phones hotspot. Everything else in my house is connected to my phone, not sure why this won't. I am certain its an address issue, and the default gateway and DNS is the culprit.

Hello again.
If you are connecting though your phone's hotspot feature, then you have to use its address. That information depends on your phone, ROM and which and how many other devices are on the local network you establish, among other factors, but it's probably in the "198.162.?.?" range mentioned earlier and you can probably set "8.8.8.8" (Google) as your DNS provider. One simple way to determine your default gateway's address is to use whatever other phone, tablet, or computer you connect to that hotspot and execute a "traceroute" command. The first entry will be the gateway. I'm afraid I can't tell you how to do that specifically for your device/OS but most all operating systems have a similar command.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist but, as suggested earlier, asking in the Turbos' Q&A thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help would be the best way to get help
This thread is now closed.
Once again, good luck!
