i-Helicopter Works on Android

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.

Mall ad with free music download

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.

I've seen a few of those around malls by me, some for ebooks. Unfortunately, mine doesn't seem to work. I've turned everything related to NFC on, and still nada. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to being mine in...

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.)

App like tablet talk?

I want an app I can use to text off of my nexus 7 that uses the Bluetooth feature. I don't have WiFi so I can't use an app that uses a WiFi network sync and I don't wanna buy tablet talk. Any other apps like that?

Agreed, I bought it the moment I tried it out and never looked back. Totally worth it.

Go buy a visa gift card or open a PayPal through your bank account. You're 17 so get out of the habit of excuses quickly.
Good luck

Actually their anti piracy replies were quite on point. How would you feel if you were the developer of the app and everybody just stole it from you instead of paying for your hard work? Bottom line piracy is WRONG.

Back on topic, does anybody know of a free Bluetooth alternative to tablet talk?

the rules aren't the problem....first the suggestion to actually go pirate an app (WTF are you thinking even saying that on xda)
then the arguing about "can't afford to pay" "visa card" etc etc....it applies to everyone at the end of the day not just people arguing the right point...but also the person suggesting that idea out loud over the forum

Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

Peeps want to put their 2 feet in, the OP has the answer now job done, every bodies circumstances are different, mentioning how easy it is to get a gift card, top up credit card or whatever is relevant only to the person that suggests it.
Some countries don't accept payment, some won't allow you to buy, and for the record....I pay my way, but if I never had any money and need something, I'll blatantly take it. Don't have a problem mentioning that, but apps are 2 a penny, if there is a free alternative get one with ads.

Thank you for the link and not saying something that wasn't needed. I don't get how this went from a question to talking about piracy and me not buying an app that I literally can't buy at the moment.

My only question before I buy this: How do you take it out? Looking at the video, it seems like it gets pretty flush with your device, yet I also use headphones. Is it easy to switch out?

Thanks! For 39 cents it's worth taking a chance. I just ordered one.

I think it would not be an issue because the audio jack has a slight curve for our phones. There will be a small gap towards the back of the phone where you can stick your finger nails under to remove the button.

The app sounds some what sketchy. I have to wonder if this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headset would work with Pressy or it's clone.

Are you guys sure it's 0.39$ and not 2.02$ ?

I read a review somwhere that it does not work all the time (doesn't react everytime you press), maybe the apps gets killed by the system or something, or maybe it's just "you get what you paid for"..
I ended up ordering one from ebay.

PSA for anyone considering buying this or any such device - the "convenience" is not worth the trouble. Here are the few things you need to know -
These buttons work only with their companion apps. i.e you'll need to keep their app running.
From time to time, the app will forget what is plugged in and will wake up the device, asking you what's plugged in. i.e. look forward to a lot of wakelocks.
Sometime, it won't even prompt, asking for what is plugged. It'll think you've plugged in a headphone and act accordingly. So, you'll hear nothing from your speaker since the device is routing all sounds to the "headphone".
The above bug will also prevent you from speaking to your phone; i.e. you can't give commands to Google Now.
I speak from personal experience. I have the Klick button, which I had bought from tinydeals for ~ $1.90.

In for one. For this price not really out much if it doesn't work.

Watchmaker Premium for Free

Watchmaker premium is now free as a part of Amazon's underground program (which means it's really free with no IAPs). Just thought people here would like to know.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Very good app.
Haven't had a watch in some time but i preferred it over faced after the updates.

Many thanks TheSt33v.

unfortunately it seems Amazon provides an outdated and buggy version. Or does date work for you when creating new faces?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app

I have downloaded the apps through Amazon app store. However, for some reason I don't see it in my watch. It seems the watch is looking only for apps downloaded through Play Store. Any hint.
and thanks for the tip.

apply a watchface, after that you should be able to chose it on the watch

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Delaware has no sales tax. But since you're only using the US account for free apps, tax doesn't matter.

I already owned it.
But for my friend downloaded it on his lg g3
Dont remeber wat it was. Or the app didn't open or opened and force closed.
Any how it didn't work.
I happy to have bought it for 1euro on the play store

if you've updated your moto 360 to marshmallow, this version is buggy at best. Updated version, 3.9.7 is on the play store, devs updated it to work with marshmallow

Tax Free
Florida is tax FREE also.

I'm trying to get an answer about this from Amazon chat. Unfortunately, I'm not hopeful about getting an answer, they aren't very good about that.
