Hey guys, i recently bought an i-helicopter which is told to be working mostly with iPhones.
I got mine yesterday, i tried it and it is working just fine with our GS2.
For 30 euros, it is a funny thing to have around.
Check it out.
The reason i am posting this, is because i was searching all over the internet for infos, and if this thing was really going to work.... well i didn't, so there you go.
http://www.ihelicopters.net/shop/ihelicopters/ihelicopter-idevice-controlled-rc-helicopter-777-170/
i got it from MiniInTheBox
that looks like fun
cool.. What about controller App and plug in the transmitter??
That looks like fun... D: I wanna get one
looks cool, is there anywhere else for cheaper?
i don't know for cheaper. google it.
as for the app. you need to download i-helicopter from appbrain, in order to work.
And you need to stop any music application - service that might be running.
the only bug with the helicopter is when you receive a call, and suddenly you don't have a remote for the heli , then it goes... MAYDAY!!
Yeah got a couple recently, works awesomely... Infrared transmitter plugs into earphone plug. Very cool to play with... Pity all remote control toys have been banned from my workplace, be fun to buzz the co-workers...
A loophole... They never said anything about phone controlled toys.....
I-helicopter is also available on android market...
Cheers...
I jest ordered 777-173 for about 30€ from ebay
Cant wait to recieve

Can work these copters for iPod in our Galaxy? There are with IR jack adapter. Others have iPod plug, then cannot work.
Yes, also we need app I-Helicopter from Market..

I buy other electrononic components in MININTHEBOX without problem.

Solidly built, but still using IR, so extra transmitter + when the sensor can't "see" the transmitter, the heli drops like a rock.
Had one like this (although not phone controlled), dies on the second day.

You guys might have heard the new N64 Emulator for Android came out. I know we can't use the wiimote, but is there any other sort of device/controller that is compatible with our phones? Thank you for your time.
Its there anyway to get the wii remote or the ps3 remote to work on the epic? Is it a software or hardware limitation?

Software, once we get cyanogenmod working then it will be a go.
if there a reason that other roms don't have that support? From the looks of it cm7 will be a ways off before we see anything official.

I was wondering if those guys were going to work on this. Apparently you can use a wii mote with the Nexus S because it uses Google's bluetooth stack instead of Samsung's. We just need someone to work on making those changes for us.

Well...this is just an idea. I don't know what you guys think, but maybe this could be a substitute for HDMI. Buy a mini Android PC to connect to an LCD monitor like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MK802-Mini-PC-Android-4-0-WIFI-Google-IPTV-Smart-TV-Box-DDR3-1G-CPU-A10-1-5GHz-/160878065778?pt=US_Internet_Media_Streamers&hash=item2575147872, and then connect with AirDroid... it doesn't sound expensive... it would almost be like having an adapter but it would require more work to get working (plus more powerful, since it's a computer)...
Shipping: Free!
YAY
Payment: Paypal

No, the Ouya is "dedicated gamine console" ( mine is on pre order , should be cool )
The MK802 and newer MK models are "mini pc's" that run Android.
linkREMOVED, Low on stock and don't want to link you since then I can't get one
Someone should buy this and let me know if it works.
I'll try it out and see....my dad just got a android pc (holy cow that thing is tiny).

If you get a MK802 MkIII for not much more it's a lot more machine than the Play. Then you'd just want to work out how to use the play's controls on it
I was at a mall today and right before the exit, I saw an advertisement for the GS3. What was unique about it was that it told you to hold up your own GS3 next to the one in the advertisement (as if you were beaming with it) to receive a free music download.
I wasn't so amazed by the technology as much as I was amazed that it worked on the first try... and it front of my iPhone-loving friends too!
Unfortunately the song I received was Some Nights by Fun., but still awesome.
Has anyone else encountered these ads?

The ad had an embedded NFC tag. You can buy tags and program them yourself to do stuff like that. The tags are cheap and the apps to program them are free.

Why wouldn't it work?
I am guessing you aren't using the stock battery. If you a buy a backup or larger battery, always make sure it says either in the product description or item itself that it is NFC enabled.

Because technology seems to never work for me when I'm trying to show it off to friends.
I figured I'd have to toggle a few settings or something, but I was happy with the immediate results. (Luckily I do keep NFC on, if I hadn't, I assume nothing would have happened.)
So, I got my new phone. Yay.
Now I have this old dinc, gonna root, but who has some good ideas for putting this thing to good non phone use?
Thanks!
Dedicated music player comes to mind. I don't know

You could just send it to me! Haha, some people use it as a VOIP phone in there house. I think an app like GrooveIP will give you that option.

Personally I like having a second phone to quickly and easily show off something cool on the new phone via video. I had a d2g that had a bad esn (I thought I could use it in Europe, but was locked out there too) and I used it a lot for that.
Also I use it when going abroad, as it will work in Europe and the states.
Also, I love using my old phones as alarm clocks. You'd be amazed how many days an old BB Curve will last with all the radios turned off. I'm guessing a Dinc2 would be good that way too.

Two questions. Could it be a GPS without a data connection?
Also, does anyone know of an app that makes your phone networked attached storage and / or plug it into a hard drive and act as an interface for NAS?

I know GPS will work without data, but if you need to pull up directions for navigation, you need to be on WiFi to download the coordinates. After that if you don't make it re-route it will work. As for the 2nd question.....idk

really on all these ideas. I still have my Eris (though the trackball still scrolls left) as an emergency backup, mp3/Pandora player for in-house and garage (anywhere WiFi reaches), and white noise machine for sleeping baby.
Sometimes wish it didn't have that trackball issue so I could use it more efficiantly, so a fully operational DInc2 laying around would be an awesome thing to have.
What did you end up getting?
Thanks for the advice. I also like the idea of an experimental unit, now that I do not rely on the device daily, I can check out the jellybean rom and try out google now

I remember I used to get the eris trackball to start working by putting a piece of clean white paper on a table and rolling the trackball over it in a rolling motion. Always did the trick

Yea, I used up all the paper in the house. It only lasts for a short while now, but it does work for a little (usually). I even replaced the trackball with a blackberry one. I was thinking about trying just caking the area around the trackball/circuit board with JB weld to prevent flex which I think is causing the intermittent contact issue caused by the location of the charging port in relation to the trackball.
Ah well, either way it is extra and it wont be the end of the workl if I destroy it!
Yay for extras!

htc/Verizon asks that you place your inc2 on end of barrel of a 12 gauge, insert 3in slug, make it rain incredible flakes. now your inc2 has been officially updated by Verizon
Like someone else mentioned, the phone could be used as a VOIP home phone. All it requires is a Google Voice account and an app called GrooveIP (there's a free version, but the $5 full-featured version is definitely worth the money in my opinion). I also take it with me when I travel, since most airports and lots of hotels offer free WiFi, which allows me to make as many phone calls as I like without running up my minutes. I've been using my Inc2 for this purpose for awhile now, and it's very nice to have. I keep the phone in a dock and also use it for streaming music when I'm home as well as for my alarm clock. Just because the phone isn't activated on a wireless plan shouldn't mean that it can't serve a purpose.
Only other piece of advice; I would steer clear of ICS/JB based Roms if using it as a VOIP phone. I had nothing but trouble with the audio settings on GrooveIP. But the stock Rom, or any GB-based Rom should work fine. I use MROM (which is CM7 based) and it works exactly as expected.

I thunk'd it might actually have potential.
I mean, I'm a fan of gestures to begin with, and this seems kinda swank.
