[REQUEST] Android as a BT remote app for PS3

I already have a Harmony One with the IR to BT receiver but I think it would be pretty awesome to control the menu/Blu-Rays with my N1.
It can't be that hard to develop. If you had a BT keyboard you can connect it to the PS3 and you can mimmick the controls with certain keyboard buttons. (I think, haven't personally tried it but the functionality should be there for EVERY buttion. So far I've just tried the arrows.)
If I knew a crap about developing I'd do it myself.
Do want!

Yeah, I would pay for this as well. Definitely $5-$10.
Anyone find anything that can do this? I think Google tv is coming out with something like this for Harmony remotes but its only for Google tv.

[REQ]Using Android phone as keyboard for PS3

Hi, I was wondering if this was possible. I actually was looking to see if there was such an app..
Anyways, just started using my PS3 again online and I didn't have a keyboard. Figured there might be an app in the market for that to use your phone as a bluetooth keyboard for the PS3.
Any takers on this request??
+1 This would be great, also an app to use our Androids as a mic and headset would be great
This would be great. The best way to get this to work would be for the phone to act a a standard Bluetooth HID. Then you could use it on anything. Keyboard or mouse.
This would be the bomb!

We've been asking for this since Droid 1 came out. No one has been able to do it.
Too bad.........
This makes me sad face

I'm pretty sure when you plug the controller into the usb on the ps3 and hit the ps3 button it'll pair back to that.
Just like when you take your controller to a friends place you need to pair it with that ps3 using the above method.
I'll give it a quick try on mine I've got 4 controllers - do I just need the app? No special leads or anything?
Edit: Looks like I need a USB cable to pair it to the tablet so I can't check that part for you but I was able to pair with the ps3 again after I changed the bluetooth master address to the tablets one.
I hope that helps you.

Yea in order to use it agin to ps3, you needto plug it in using the mini usb to the ps3 ,but that will change the master address back to ps3's...you then need to change it again to the tablet's master address...
I'm pretty sure my first edit covered that but thanks for valuable input there.

HTC One S as RDP client (mouse, keyboard, monitor)

I've wondered.. would that be possible? I know that its possible to stream to an 1920x1080 monitor via MHL and i'm pretty sure i can somehow connect a mouse and a keyboard via bluetooth - or?
Which MHL Adapater and BT keyboard/mouse combo would you recommend? Does ANY BT keyboard/mouse combo work with our phone?

Hey bud,
I have a similair goal in mind and have begun gathering gear for my desktop replacement system lol. I have a monitor already. I just picked up the iHome bluetooth keyboard from my local store here. Dude, paired and connected in a snap. No extra work needed. All i do is turn bt on on the phone, turn the keyboard on and it immediattely defaults to the keyboard for text inpuut. I am in the process of researching how to remap the keys for optimized android functionality as this model is mapped out for iphone. but the media keys work well. volume up and down. pressing the play key automatically starts the media player and plays music. I am actually typing out this post on it right now in my car with my phone docked to my windshield lol. i love it. the arrow keys work in most apps to scroll through and select stuff. Now all i need is a mouse and mhl adapter. I gave up my pc when the hardrive croaked because my adroid phone does alll i need.
I started using android phones as a desktop replacement since i had my G2x. this phone is much easier to accomplish the task with. and with cloud storage we dont even need to use usbhost to latch on an external hardrive. Best of luck dude.

Logitech has a android specific keyboard. I think these have dedicated android keys for home, back and recent apps.

well as ive already shelled out the cash for this one i think id rather keep it. it reminds me of the old dell keyboards too which is awesome. i love the simple no frills design. the keys on this model feel great too

I just bought a new unit it does have a ir receiver in front next to disk drive. It came with no remote. I'm also curious to the question and if a universal remote would work? Even better if a wireless keyboard ....
A wireless keyboard needs drivers.....Try auniversal remote software for android (you need a phone with it, is:Xiaomi mi4)
I contacted joying knowing that they won't sell the parts but I figured I'd try hopefully they get back to me tomorrow. Any chance you could take apart your HU and post a picture of ir and where it is soldered in
