Hi All,
I have a quandary!!!!
I would like to be able to remotely control my tp2 while it is sat in its dock connected to my stereo playing music and charging. Ideally via blue tooth or wifi.
In an ideal world, it would be nice if this elusive gadget had a screen showing what was playing, and any incoming caller id info, and associated controls, except, reject, along with the basics for the music, stop, play, skip, volume, etc
I have blue tooth head phones, which work great but to my knowledge (which is very limited) the tp2 will not output through the mini usb at the same time.
Has anyone come across such a beast?
Thanks in advance
there are several programs which let you take over the whole pda control having it's desktop in a window on your computer being able to perform any task there you can on the pda
I would love for something like this as well since I am always using my phones in my truck for either music of movies to keep my son entertained. Does anyone have any ideas if something like this exists. I know that some of the headphones have controls on them but I have not seen an actual remote control for a PDA yeat.
Hi, have a look in here. I think it is exactly what you are looking for.

We are trying to get as many contributors as possible at the moment, be it for beta testing or active programming.
try mymobiler
Ive been searching around but cant seem to find any apps that would do this. seems to me like it would be quite simple to do. anyone know o something similar to able to quickly put something together?
Main reason at the moment is that i currently have a long wire diagonaly across my room to connect my laptop to my speakers. I just thorght it would be realy good if i could plug my phone into my speakers and then send music to it via bluetooth. Im sure other people have been in this situation where an audio cable has not quite been long enough.
Might be a bit harder but possibly this could work over wifi too and would be able to work from room to room. I expect this would require a pc client though..
any thorghts?
I would love to have something like this. The phone would behave like a bluetooth speaker or headphone (A2DP). This would be fantastic. I was looking for something like this a year ago, I thought I would find a software which helps me do this, but I was unable to find anything then. Maybe we can find something now.
I could try developing such a software if there is not anything of this sort already available. I would be glad if any experienced developer can provide us some starting points, keywords, etc., which would speed up the initial activities.
Use UPNP media server
the simpler solution is to use unpn media server over wifi networks
like twonkys media server. or xmbc
basically the computer where the files are stored will server the files to any network attached device including HTC through webbrowser.
I have my dish tv /Satellite decoder connected to home pc using vlc and watch the tv on my HTC HD using VLC
for sound files i directly load them over network disk

Bluetooth Audio Receiver
I've got a TV which supports bluetooth headphone. With such a software, I'd be able to use my HTC HD2 as a bluetooth headphone. This should turn the phone into a bluetooth audio reciver, rather than a transmitter.
I've been looking for this software for ages and appreciate any ideas.

yea this would have been good. was halfway through downloading xmbc when i realised it wont work in my case.. im at university and the wireless has some security issues that wont let it connect to my phone
also wireless drains quite a bit more battery than bluetooth and would probably have to plug in the phone each time you do this.
some great links though, now we need some bluetooth ones!!!
Is this what you need?

Let's see if I get that right:
You want to send BT stereo audio from your BT-enabled laptop to your phone, and plug your phone into speakers for audio output. Right?
Might be easier to get a bluetooth receiver for your speakers. There are some for your home audio system (e.g. at amazon).
What I did was get a stereo bluetooth headset receiver. You can use it as a bluetooth headset (in your car, on the bus, wherever) OR you can simply plug it into your speakers. Just be sure to find one with a 3,5mm plug (and not wired-on headphones) so that you can use your own headphones or plug in your speakers. There's a choice of fine receivers from
Nokia (BH-214, BH-500, ...)
SonyEricsson (HBH-DS205, HBH-DS980, ...)
Jabra (BT3030, ...)
or you can try and get a cheap but great one from the itech clip series.

no, I dont think so. thanks for the suggestion though!
we arnt trying to get sound from the phone to a bluetooth speaker but instead turn the phone itself into a speaker whcih can recieve audio from other bluetooth devices.
for example if watching a film on my laptop, i would like to plug my phone into my speakers, connect up the bluetooth, and watch rather than running a cable to the speakers which are a long way away.
Nik, you bet me by one...

to be honest ive actualy already ordered this:
http://shoponspot.com/bluetooth-20-a2dp-avrcp-stereo-music-receiver-and-handsfree-black/
I still would like to see this app developed as i can imagine future situations where this happens and i dont want to have to carry this around everywhere.
also people with bluetooth tvs im sure would prefure not to have to use another device all the time and occasionaly you get bluetooth headset transmitters in public places where this might be useful.
hope it is possible!
ooo wow! im a senior member now!!
well i received my bluetooth headset but unfortunatly it charges through the 3.5mm headphone jack so i am unable to leave it there to just work
Ive also tried plugging in a headphone splitter but it realy dosnt like that!! so that means every time i leave my room i will have to put the reciever on charge and every time i return i will have to turn it on and plug it in.
does anyone know if it would be possible to get the phone to work as a bluetooth audio reciever? seems like something it should be able to do
I'd like to bump this because I've been searching for ages for exactly this. I'd personally like to go one step further and have a client that would support A2DP and the handsfree protocol. The latter I would like to allow me to answer and initiate calls to my work mobile using my HD2 as though it was a bluetooth handsfree kit. Then I could use one phone for all my calls.
I can imagine a wide range of useful applications that other solutions like wifi audio streaming or a dedicated bluetooth audio receiver wouldn't match.
I wish I knew how to write software... Maybe if I ever have a few hundred hours of spare time on my hands I'll learn and write an app to do this.
i also want this.
please anyone help.
This would be great.. i currently have an nvidia shield tv and I can plug my normal wired headphones into the nvidia shield's bluetooth remote. The problem is the remote's battery life only lasts a few days when used like this. I would love to be able to use my mobile phone as a back up for when the nvidia remote battery dies. For some reason the nvidia remote won't charge unless my head phones are unplugged.
Hooroo
Firstly for some strange reason my car will only control the answering of the phone via the Audi buttons at random... not too fussed. But also the audio from the car of the person speaking is really low, I have it turned right up on the car stereo and also on the telephone..
Sooo.. is there any app or hacks that anyone has made that gives you control over the BT stack to change the volume setting past what the side buttons allow?
Another thing is, are there any sites that show the zune marketplace ideally ones with sorting by downloads and rating rather than zunes random sorting of what they want to show us.
Lastly I would pay actually money for an app that allows we to stream my video from my shares in windows media player like i can for my PS3, xbox, N900... I have no idea why they didnt put this feature in there own phone OS...
All,
I need some help trying to find a remote control for the phone. I use the phone as my music/pandora player.
As of next month my state of AZ will make it illegal to have people texting in the car so I figured if I have the phone tucked away and just control the music with a bluetooth remote would be cool.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

What about mapping the volume buttons to be used as forward/reverse track? I'd like to do this, but haven't figured out a way...
I come from the LG Optimus V, which worked beautifully with Button Remapper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
Please stay on topic of OP. Don't use his thread to re-ask your question, I think the whole purpose of his thread/search for remote is so he doesn't have to touch his phone.

Just need to find where they have in stock...would this work for you (I know its not Bluetooth )?
Sent from the horsemen of death using the galaxy at his will
that is bluetooth. i currently use that unit and am searching for where they have it in stock or a similar unit for a friend. the advantage of this unit over various other bluetooth car kits is the remote, which works very well. your phone pairs with the cigarette lighter unit and i assume the remote naturally pairs with the unit, therefore allowing hands free operation of your music for play, pause, track forward, track backward.
anyone have tips on how to set the default player so that the button play always loads up that player?
Was looking at turning my i9300 into a universal remote controller for home entertainment.
As there is no infrared blaster built in and my TV, DVD, SkyHD box are not bluetooth enabled, two options become apparent, add extra IR hardware or remote Bluetooth to IR hardware.
1. Add external IR hardware - this seems fiddly to have to find and then insert the IR device into headphone socket each time. http://www.irdroid.com/ About €14
2.1. Griffin: http://griffintechnology.com/support/beacon-android (currently out of stock). About €52 and need separate versions for android and apple.
2.2. PDAwin.com: http://www.pdawin.com/android . €79.80
More expensive, and android only, but the app seems quite well thought out. The idea of photographing your own remote or creating an image of your "own" remote and using this is appealing - can prioritise the most used buttons at top of the screen for ease of use.
2.3. irdroid: http://www.irdroid.com/irdroid-v2/ About €44
App functionality needs more work.
2.4: Logitech Harmony
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/harmony-smart-control, €90
Appears well thought out
Has anyone here tried any of these or other versions?
Any recommendations - besides waiting for my next phone that is ir enabled
I haven't tried this yet but thanks for posting the links I may give one of them of a shot.
Found another option to use with IR hardware in the earphone jack - a very comprehensive piece of software: http://developers.coversal.com/projects/coversal/wiki
