using the htc one m8 remote for ps3 to control dvds ? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this possible ? I can't find an option,would have thought it might be in the cable boxes option

I looked into using it for the ps3 a few days ago and found that there is an app on the play store but it says the Bluetooth stack is incompatible, if anyone else knows a way or a way around this I'd be interested in the solution too but as far as I could find the answer is no.

I bought ZappIR on Play Store. In add remote it has game consoles, Sony PS3. I can't test it, as I don't own one... But so far the app controls everything I own. You can customize the remote (buttons and what not that it shows kn the screen ) and it can "learn" holding original remote face to face with your phone and learning individual buttons.
10 day trial I think.... Then you gotta buy it for $8 or so . ?

bluetooth remote controller?

im looking for a bluetooth remote controller like the ones in the sony ericson phones
main use will be for power point presentations and controlling my laptop on the move
i have searched and the only one i think is the one in jaylee any other options?
Although I have never used it, i can remember that some piece of software like that called "asus remote presenter" was bundled (or installed already) on my ASUS P535 PDA... however, I think the P535 uses a different BT stack, therefor I'm not sure if that would run on the HD anyway... but maybe it helps you to find something...
regards jan
There is an AMAZING bit of software that does these kind of functions, a friend told me about it and now i always install it into new ROMs. Its called....
GRemote http://gbmsoftware.com/
its at beta at the moment but still works perfectly. I only use it WiFi so im not sure if you can do it via BT
any mirror for the gremote?
any other options?
I'd like an app just like the SE phones as well.
Great benefit of the SE app over the GRemote for me, is that the SE app already works on the login screen of Windows XP. I used to use my SE k800i to login to my HTPC, so that I wouldn't need a keyboard.
As far as I can see, GRemote starts up after Windows login. Apart from that, it seems to do the trick and works fine.

Try this one here: MobileRemote
Works fins on both my laptop and PS3.
MobileRemote is good...
does not require to install anything on PC/laptop.
connects to BT as HID , so it can be used anywhere.

Wow, works like a treat!
The demo version doesn't allow to save pairings, so I had to buy it to see if I could log in Windows without use of a keyboard, but it did the trick
My PS3 can't seem to find my phone. It's just scanning and telling me to wait. Anyone know what could be the problem? I have no problems connecting to other phones via bluetooth, they can always find me.
i advise MobileRemote - works like a charm! I also tried gremote - the free version - and it crash several times.
That works great for a HID, But to expand on this does anyone know of an application that can work via bluetooth or wifi that can connect to an controll a windows media player or winamp remotely? One that shows the track info ad allows you to browse the library etc would be fantastic. It would allow people to be anyware in range of the wireless network (like having a BBQ outside) and control the music.
RSC Remote Mobile - uninstall problems
Hi Remote Mobile User,
I installed RSC Remote Mobile on my Touch HD but it does not work. My PS3 cannot find the HD. Now I cannot uninstall the software from my HD. I tried it on "normal" way using the option under windows and I tried it with the options under Active Sync.
Is there an other tool available to uninstall software from the HD?
Please help me.

Anyone aware of an app that makes your phone a remote keyboard

I know I am not the first one to think of this but I was wondering if anyone is aware of development of a remote control/keyboard app for use with the PS3 and 360 (wii gets no love)? I would love to have the functionality of using my phone for both devices at home.
I was playing around with a remote play option on the PS3 and app called BD remote but it doesnt seem to pair the two. I got the idea after downloading pocket blu app and I was able control Inglorious Basterds via wifi. That in of itself was cool but I craved more control.
I dont write code so Im of no help here. I could try but I dont think that will be fruitful.

This should probably be in Q&A or Apps section, so try posting there next time.
As for your question, it would be virtually impossible on the 360. The 360 doesn't use bluetooth or wifi, and it would be virtually impossible to have a server application running on it anyway. Maybe if you hacked your 360, added wifi and did a lot of jerryrigging, you'd get it to work. PS3 uses both bluetooth and wifi, but I don't know if its possible to port applications to it without hacking. Again, I think the real challenge is to run some sort of server on the device. The app for your phone is easy, the server side would be really tricky. Don't have a PS3, so I don't know much about it, but 360 is definitely out.
Maybe this will give you a hint. I've successfully tried it in Windows.

Not the same as what you're looking for specifically, but Gmote and Remote Droid will do that.
Gmote is awesome. I love how it turns your phone into a laptop like trackpad for your PC.

inline remotes

does anyone have any suggestions on how to control the music on these devices without turning on the screen. I'd prefer a wired solution to something involving Bluetooth but any experience would be helpful.
You can use the archos remote control app, but you'll need another android device on your wifi.
yeah was looking more for something that was portable. I looked around and some android devices partially respond to the apple based headphones that's the kind of info I'm looking for.
actually i read on gizmodo last week that samsung was working on universal headphones that work on any tablet
You can also use a wii remote through Bluetooth search market for wii remote.

[Q] Is my m8's IR blaster spoilt?

Have just gotten my M8
tried using the stock TV app first, didnt work... and it also doesn't "learn" from the other remote.
downloaded IR Universal Remote (which worked perfect on my S4 Active) and HTC Universal remote from the play store...
i do see the red beam flash ONCE only, but still doesnt turn on any device (tried a few diff TVs)
does anyone have an app or way to test this before i send it back for repairs?
None of the softwares remote profiles worked for me, I had to teach the app with the remote manually one button at the time to get it to work.
Worked fine for me, first try. Sony TV and Sony surround with an AT&T U-verse cable box. I only had to use the remote for it to learn from for 1, which worked first try. (All via their TV app on the phone)
I'm sure you're aware, but keep in mind the IR is in the power button itself. Good luck
Google smart ir remote. Best remote out there.

[Q] Playstation 3 remote?

Is there an app, or a mod to the HTC Sense TV app to make the remote control operate the Playstation 3 via Bluetooth? I can control my Bose and DirecTv, but not the Playstation for BlueRay movies.
I would love to be able to ditch the last remaining remote control I have.
Anyone have a workaround, or idea to do this?

PS3 doesn't have IR Receiver... You'll probably need to get an external receiver and hook it up to the PS3.
Or at least that was the case some years ago, I don't know if the newer ones have it though. Yet I doubt it, since apparently the PS4 also doesn't have an IR Receiver.
