i have an xda 2s and would like to find a program so that i can send messages to computers on my workgroup.
i know you can use msn, but its not always running on every computer in the house.
something like netsend would be great, unfortunetly google hasnt found anything yet.
also i would like to know of any programs for wifi. i have a program called remote amp that is great, any similar programs, or just plain cool thing to do with wifi at home.
thank alot

im having fun with redeo control server. this allows you to control your window media player from the BA. you can select from your music library make play lists even play video files. im thinking this is one of the most useful gadgets i have found. i think i might be selling my ipod now.
try it: http://www.rudeo.com/
Has anyone managed to get sky by mobile working on their device? I can get the program to run but it doesn't seem to be able to get a data connection. It doesn't matter whether I use GPRS or wifi.
I'm using the skymobile_sonywithouttv.jar and Esmertec Java.
TVM.
I can't believe I'm the only one trying to make this work. Anyone?
Are you talking about the sky mobile that you need a subscription for or a different sky mobile? If yes then you probably should try a different forum than this. I don't think there are so many Artemis users having a sky tv subscription.
I think he is trying to use a Java app to watch Sky TV as opposed to remotely programing a Sky+ box. I think he will struggle to do this as I can not get any Java apps to run at all, never mind properly.
I am talking about a Java application sky provide to subscribers so they can browse the programme guide and control their sky box from anywhere via GPRS, set the device to record a programme etc. Having seen it running on a Nokia I had a go at running the various versions and I got the version I mentioned to run but the application cannot "see" the network. It therefore can't log in to sky and download the programme guide. I have tried setting permissions for the application in the Java that came with my rom but it makes no difference.
I admit that I didn't know there was a Java problem in general as alluded to by the previous poster.
I did a search on youtube forums and seems like there is a widespread outage.
Problem: When trying to access my youtube "playlist" & "watch later"I get an error. It says, "there was a problem with the network [404].
Everything seems to be fine when I access them from the browser, it's the app. This problem is also using Google TV (Revue).
Anyone else have problems accessing their playlist using the app?
Here is the support link.

I often tether my Fire tablet to my phone's Hotspot Access Point. However sometimes I wanted to use it for navigation in the car, but alas, it has no built-in GPS!
So I developed GPS Tether that easily shares any Android phone's GPS location to the Fire tablet through the phone's Hotspot AP, simulating an actual built-in GPS in the Fire tablet. I originally developed and tested it for the HP Touchpad, but I found with a few tweaks it will work on almost any Android v4.2+. It works great for me and it's a pretty dependable and lightweight app, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Enjoy!
DOWNLOAD IT HERE
Note: If the Play Store says it is not compatible with the Fire tablet, or you do not have access to the Play Store at all, you can download the APK here
EDIT: Big update posted to the Play Store. New features included Bluetooth functionality and NMEA sharing! Check it out!
It worked without any problem (HTC One M9 + Amazon Fire). Thanks for the great work

It must be installed on both devices. I unable to make an iOS version because of the restrictions Apple has on it's access to what the app needs to function properly.
Probably a stupid question but does this app use data from my phone or just GPS?

Not a stupid question at all! In fact, I am going to include this information in the app description. :good:
To get your location, GPS Tether uses the global default location setting you have on the sharing device in the Settings/Location menu in Android. If you have it set to "Device Only" for instance, GPS Tether will only use the signal from GPS satellites. If you have it set to "High Accuracy" on the other hand, GPS Tether will use Google's "fused" location service. (This service uses a combination of your GPS signal, WiFi APs, and cell tower triangulation. This "fused" service uses very little-to-no data to obtain your location. For technical info on the "fused" service, check this out.)
The GPS Tether app itself does not use any data to share or receive the GPS location from one device to another. However, when opening the app GUI (not the background services) it will check for an app update on the play store in the background. If you have no data connection at all, it will simply ignore the update check. Checking for an update uses a tiny amount of data (under 8kb), and the check is only run when opening the GUI.
Summary: GPS Tether can be used with no data connection at all, and imposes no significant data usage.
HUGE THANKS FOR THIS! I was about to make a thread asking how I can use this tablet as a GPS and then at the last second I saw your thread. This works perfectly!

It´s a pity to hear that is not possible to use an iPhone. Can you provide more details about the limitation? Do you think it would be possible in the future? I´m currently integrating my Fire in my car's dashboard and GPS availability would be great.

Well, you bring up a good point. It would be possible to code it for iOS for location sharing only. And it sounds like even if it only had the sharing function, many people would use an iOS as the location sharing device. So I will explore that and see if I can code it in the near future. :good:
It will (most likely) never be possible to set the location manually in iOS (aka mock location). Android allows an app (with the given permission) to set a global mock location. This function was originally created for testing purposes, but they left it in for this kind of application. So iOS devices will never be able to be the receiver of the shared location.

Android tablets like Fire are quite cheap compared to iOS devices so, I'm sure that there are more people like me interested in just location sharing from iOS to your Android tool. I have some experience developing for iOS, so feel to contact me if you need help with iOS side.
The link to your site doesn't load. Play store said it's incompatible.

This is a common issue with Android 4.x on 3rd party devices. Many different solutions can be found here. The GPS Tether APK is good to go.
Has anyone found an apk for Nokia Here? The playstore version won't load on the NexusFire AOSP ROM.
Since we can share a gps signal it would be nice to have an offline map app too.
I can't seem to be able to connect the fire with my oneplus one. I really don't understand how the two devices speak to each other, as no data connection is necessary and this is probably the reason why it doesn't work for me.
Can anyone help me, please?

To be more specific, no internet connection is required. To share the GPS signal from your OnePlus One to your Fire:
- Make sure the location is enabled on your OnePlus One and that it is set to "High Accuracy" or "Device Only".
- Install GPS Tether on both devices. Use the APK download if you are unable to download GPS Tether to your Fire from the Play Store.
- Enable the Location Sharing on your OnePlus One in the GPS Tether app.
- Enable your WiFi hotspot on your OnePlus One.
- Enable Location Receiving on your Fire tablet in the GPS Tether app.
- Connect your Fire tablet wifi to your OnePlus One's hotspot.
And it should connect almost immediately... and done! Lemme know if you need further assistance.
EDIT: It should prompt you to enable Mock Locations on your Fire tablet when enabling the GPS Tether receiver for the first time. GPS Tether will attempt to guide you in doing this and this has to be done first.
It works just perfectly now, thanks. I had missed the "Portable hotspot" part.

Thanks you very much!
I am new to Firestick. I downloaded the Bein Sport Network Streaming app for legal streaming but it doesn't seam to work properly on my firestick. In addition to it requesting Google Play Services and Store, it doesn't seam to be aligned correctly on the screen.
I did some search then I found someone posting the Bein Sports Connect app for a different region which surprisingly ran properly but my credentials didn't work because I am from a different region. It also sent the same message regarding Google Play services, but it worked regardless.
My question is. Is there a possibility to get my region's APK running on Firestick, or is it because its made for phones only it wouldn't work?
