Make my Desire a keyboard - Desire General

I don't really use my Desire anymore. So that got me thinking how nice it would be if I could turn it into a remote keyboard to use with a tablet running Android. Connect them with Bluetooth and then type on the full screen.

This idea is great but i think that this isnt possible, i searched a little bit on google and i founded some app's from Google store just for this but that apps dont support our phones just Samsung models, and just new models Like SGS3 SGS4 Also Sony Xperia Z .
So this is not possible from my view . :silly:

But perhaps it could be a project for someone studying programming? Do something worthwhile while learning the ropes and perhaps pick up some donations, just a thought.

What's Next For Nexus & Android??

I have had the luxury of trying a ton of Android devices, None quite like the Galaxy Nexus (Gnex). I am absolutely amazed everyday by the community, and this phone is CRAZY when unlocked and Rooted!!
My Only question is what's next?
As far as design goes I don't think they can do more. I know processing power could be added, but I'm starting to think the smartphone craziness has plateaued.
Being really gifted & creative is not one of my qualities. Lol .
But what is the next mobile craze going to be?
Are we going to get more personal (Skype), or more Avatar oriented?

My guess is more integrated voice actions/ commands, with a better tts engine.
So staying the course with speech to text dictation?

We need more phone bumping. And fist bumping. Lol.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
Agreed!
Google wallet is just the beginning.
I would love NFC to be used for almost everything!

I believe i read Google is spending attention to more voice integrated commands and uses for it. The code name was the name of the voice actor who did the starship enterprise computer voice........i can't wait to tell my phone "make it so" and it does something

Project glass looks amazing. If that's what the future looks like for google I'm all in. I just have a feeling that it's going to move to more face time then texting and voice.

I get the feeling he's talking phone/hardware wise too. I think he also nailed it. Plateau... There will be quad cores and most likely someone is going to stick a 6 core in one eventually. Camera marketing will stop somewhere around 536mp meaningless as the watt ratings on most amps. But this is where I think the turning point is from that new double fast phone dropping each week on the hardware side and the next best optimizations will be software. IMO.

I'm hoping they nail video chat on the go! HD faces even on low end devices.
6core devices will come lol, and video gaming on the go will take over consoles.
I wonder will they remain block shape, or Glasses like Project Glass?

...you're thinking of Google project Majel. It received some attention on the web about 6 months ago - and it was referenced as being Google's response to Apple's Siri.

[APP] XBox Smart Glass

Check the Play Store for the new Smart Glass app. Lets you control your XBox from your Android device. It's pretty sweet.

I saw yesterday the SmartGlass in a friend's house. I'll try with me soon. ^^
Awesome app, I have Xbox smart glass installed on windows 8 pro on my PC also, if you have an Xbox 360 this app is a must have for both your android device and windows 8 PC.

I don't think apple would approve of a Microsoft xbox app somehow lol, but maybe I'm wrong, it would be weird for apple to do that knowing their anti everything thats created by their arch enemy.

IOS already has official My Xbox Live app. Don't see why this wouldn't get approved.
Actually, iPhone had this feature before us with the my Xbox app. My friend from work was bragging about it.

My Xbox Live Application?
can someone share it? I canĀ“t install it on my nexus 7
iOS version that was released yesterday has better fucntionality than the android version. Forza and Halo dont work as they do on iOS and Windows. This Is Bullsh!t. The giving android the crappy version of everything has to end. We have the most market share, the most users but we alway get shafted. Yeah we got the app first, cool, But once the iphone/ipad got it with full smartglass functionality(not to mention an ipad specific version[yes i know sideloading works on android tablets, it runs great on my N7}) it took me over the top. I just dont see why this has to keep happening.
Has anyone had trouble getting this to work? Mine goes to Getting info from Xbox services... and eventually just fails and says "Can't sign into xbox services". I've reset everything, tried over 4g and on the same local network and made sure the account is fine and Smartglass is turned on on my box. Still no go - any ideas? No many results turn up on Google. Some complain of similar problems but there's no solution.
EDIT 12/15: The next day it started working without me doing anything different. Go figure
not available in some SEA Countries. dang I have to use a workaround to install this thing

Do i need a Tablet PC?

Hello folks
I am proud owner of note 2 and been enjoying it for a while now. It has replaced my laptop to a great extent and i now only use imy laptop for stuff that needs extensive typing.
I have been tempted to by a tablet for long time now but i am not sure if I need one coz of note 2.
What is your guys take on it?
How many of us here have both and use both.
Cheers!!

Why? Why would you possibly need a tablet if you have a phablet. As for extensive typing try using a blue tooth keyboard for it.

Vivo xplay - a very strong GN2 contender?

http://tpt.to/a3s1PzN
Hardware specs wise is superb, physically slimmer, doesn't look too much bigger to hold, design appearance ain't that bad either. Loving the 13mp camera. But one thing I'm really interested in is the 'free touch' feature. Really practical and innovative! Anybody able to develop a similar app for note 2? This phone sounds like a level up of every note 2 feature.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Best posted in the comparison thread with every other phone that is a contender.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium
Didn't know there was such a thread.but my main point is asking if the free touch feature can be ported over. Thanks for informing!
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Nah the thread is fine. I don't like the one thread for everything idea tbh.
As for OP - just pure specs mean nearly nothing - just like LG Optimus G Pro IMHO. Dev support, upgrades etc. are also important. There might be devices with better specs than Note II. IMO Note II checks all the right boxes - that hardly any other devices do.
As for the feature, don't even know how it works. Or how it could even be ported.

Best keyboard?

Not quite satisfied with stock and since I've used Swype forever on my previous devices, I'm not up to speed on the keyboard front and especially not for super-hires 10.5" tablets. Anyone running any particular ones they're happy with?

Try swiftkey. Its free and has a tablet mode (thumb typing). Swype and the likes don't work for me on a tablet as there's too much real estate to cover.

I use AI on my phone, it is my dd keyboard?. Best prediction capabilities for me. However, its a pay app and you have pay separate for the tab model. Swiftkey is free and has tab mode where it splits the right and left side of the keyboard, bringing them closer to the edge.

Love SwiftKey. You get cursor keys, and, man! Some really great themes! After SwiftKey learns you, it's almost as if it can read your mind.

I use Thumb Keyboard. You can setup text shortcuts and substitutions. It's good for 1 key passwords and infomation like email address, credit card numbers, etc. It makes entering information much easier and faster.
