This Bluetooth adapter works flawlessly and I haven't ran into a single hiccup!
In the package: You get the adapter itself, a CD to install its drivers (only if you're on Windows XP/Vista, otherwise it will automatically install on Windows 7/8), and an "EasyAcc cares about you" card.
First Impressions: Wow, this thing is TINY! When I first plugged it in on my Windows 7 laptop, it automatically installed its drivers and was already up and running. A Bluetooth menu starts appearing in the Notification Area of your Taskbar. I have already paired my phone with my laptop and it was a breeze. I just clicked on the Bluetooth Icon in the Notification Area, clicked the "Add a Device" button, and went ahead from there. I already sent a file from my phone to my laptop and received it in seconds. It is very nice! Files are automatically saved in your documents but you can change the file location.
After using this for a while, I have to say, it is quite useful have Bluetooth capabilities on my laptop. I no longer have to pull out a micro-USB cable every time I want to transfer a file from my phone to my laptop or vice versa. I was able to transfer 12 photos from my phone to my laptop in over a minute (the bigger the file, the longer the transfer times). You can connect to other laptops, tablets, wireless headphones, and even headsets to this small adapter. You can connect just about any Bluetooth device. I think that is truly amazing!
I used to hate how my laptop did not come with Bluetooth already, but then I received this from the nice folks at EasyAcc and it is truly remarkable. I can't imagine not having it. This would be great for students, people that use computers in the work industry, people that are traveling, people on vacation that quickly want to travel their vacation pictures, just about anyone and anybody! If you own a computer or laptop that does not have Bluetooth, you really should consider buying this!
Overall, this device was very good and performed fantastically with no problems whatsoever. It never heats up or anything of the sort. I highly recommend this!
I was supplied a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.
Unfortunately, I cannot post the link to this product on Amazon because posting commercial links is forbidden, but you can find it on Amazon by searching for the product's name that is in the title of this thread. Thanks!
Is this OK with Window 7 Enterprise x64 SP1?
Sorry to trouble you but I was hoping you could tell me which version of Windows you are running. There is a review on amazon which says that the device does not work on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 (USB device not recognised reported).
Many thanks..

Hi!
Have you tried it out yet? I sow some people complaining about software compatibility, that it only let you control Windows Media Player. Does anybody know if this remote let you control the HTC AudioManger application, as this is a much better MP3 player than the old WMP.
Regards,
PK
Dear,
I just take it from this web, and I found It's can used with 2 program
1 is WMP and the other is HTC Audio Manager(but you need install drive that come with package). It's very good smalltalk and remote control but I used p800w It's can't used HTC Audio booster, that made me sad because I like Bass Boost.
Have Any one have Base Boost that can used and work with p800w?
Thanks a lot.

Hi, it sort of works. When I got the package, there was a sticker over the supported models - the O2 Xda Orbit was "not" supported. As I had changed the ROM to the HTC generic version, I loaded the drivers and plugged it in. The adapter works, and I can use normal headphones BUT none of the buttons on the remote function with the O2 XDA
The Artemis and the XDA may just be that little bit different (more than just the case) which may be why they put a sticker over the supported models info. By the way, it was sold as an Artemis accessory and not an O2 XDA accessory, so I cant really send it back.
Therefore, if anyone in the UK has an Artemis (not an O2 XDA) and wants the adapter, they can buy it off me for £15 plus postage. It is brand new, used once, in its original box with driver disk. If you want to pay by PayPal, it's £2 extra to cover the fees, otherwise NOCHEX or direct bank transfer.

no, they are the same phone, hardware wise. I have the remote and a O2 XDA Orbit and it works. You just need to install the HTC Audo Driver update for the P3300. Otherwise, the remote won't work when the phone switches off to save power. This stupid bug affects all apps, including in the middle of a phone conversation. I think that is mainly the reason for the audio driver update. I don't have the HTC Audio Manager, anyone know how I can get hold of it?
The remote works with WMP. It also works with the FM Radio app, pressing play mutes it (rather than the mute button on the side), volume control (not the main phone volume) works, FF/FR switches between preset stations.
The green/red phone buttons works even when running other apps like TomTom or TCPMP. But non of the other soft buttons can be mapped to functions in TCPMP or any other program for that matter as they don't exist like your average hardware buttons on the phone itself. So as a result, you can't assign a button to activate Voice Dial or Voice Command.
The other problem is more to do with the new ExtMiniUSB port. I cannot charge the phone while I listen to the radio or mp3s for that matter! Compare to older generations of HTC phones which has a mini usb + separate 2.5mm headphone socket, this is quite stupid as I believe many ppl charge their phone via USB at work and also listen to the mp3s.
Ok, i was wondering why HTC was giving such strange answers about the useless power consumption.
HTC > (there will be no update to solve this, because it is not knowing issue.)???
Its strange behavior in my opinion when the phone wakes up completely after touching one of the buttons and never goes to sleep again. Not even switches the screen off. It uses more energy that way.
I’ve made a application for this problem just to switch the screen completely off after using the buttons on the remote. It runs in the background and waits for a change in the SystemPowerState. When the backlight dims it will switch of the screen after 1 second.
I can’t prevent the device from waking up but this works good enough.
Next step is to hook in to the remote interface driver and make the buttons act like normal devicebuttons so it would be possible to use another MP3 player. But I ‘m afraid my knowledge about this is not enough. Maybe someone can help me with that.

Oh well, sorry to hear that didn't help. I received my remote on the 17th, noticed it didn't work too well even after installing the driver that came with the remote. Then found the news that Audio Driver Update was release on the 16th so I got the download and it worked from then on.
it tries to you works in stereo
Works fine
I'm been using the rc for 2 weeks now and one must say it's working exactly the way I expected it to. The only lil hitch is the missing "stand-by" so you waste some amount of battery.
Maybe it's possible to check with a small service whether Audio Manager is running in playback mode and react e.g. with turning of background lights.
I'll give it a try next week in office (need my VS).
Anybody with experience?
wold you recommend one then?

For me it's working without drivers with HTC Audiomanager, WMP and with the FM radio and it's fine to use my own headphones.
HTC's stupid headphone/power socket combo & ultimatum
Dear HTC,
Please, if your are not the appropriate person to be considering my email, pass it on to someone who can adequately able to address my concerns.
Briefly, I am a huge fan of HTC handsets, having been a the proud owner of no less than 5 different models in the last 3 years.
My particular issue is with the HTC TYTN and TYTN II (or Kaiser) models. I am far from alone in this concern, as a simple Google search will reveal, so I am not going to waste time justifying myself. I'll launch immediately into the criticism and the request for an explanation, etc...
2 years ago, my first TYTN had to be replaced after 3 months because the ill-conceived combo-headphone-power mini USB socket became faulty. After 13 months it became faulty again. Since it was out of guarantee, i had to repair it myself. A month later however, when the socket once again broke, I installed a separate headphone socket in the side of the case myself, it was easy... TOO easy...
Since then my original TYTN has been fine.
A few weeks ago, I purchased the new TYTN II or Kaiser. I knew beforehand that the headphone and power sockets were once again the same. However, I assumed that they would have been strengthened due to the bad pres the previous model had received over this issue.
I was sadly mistaken. Within 3 weeks I have had to replace my TYTN II after the headphones started crackling when I moved the headphone cable. After examination, the mini-USB socket is IDENTICAL to the original TYTN,and bending in the same way. I have now stopped recommending this phone to people due to this. Either you don't intent users of this handset to use headphones, or you dont care that the socket isn't up to the job!
Considering that I influence thousands of people through my website in their choice of hanset upgrades, I am sure that HTC will feel the financial blow of my decision, at least slightly.
My questions are as follows:
1.) Why, after all the bad press the initial single connector design got, did HTC decide to do exactly the same stupid thing with the Kaiser (TYTN II)?
2.) Are you prepared to issue me, free of charge, with a a
brand new model, with a SEPARATE headphone socket, for which I will write an article in the magazine I work for singing your praises and recommending your improved Kaiser II, with the separate stereo headphone socket?
I formally give you 7 days to reply to my satisfaction, considering I have spent nearly £1000 with you. Failing to do so will result in a loss of revenue to yourselves totaling at least many hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds.
Sincerely
Lawrence Bowen
Those with the remote who want to save power when using it as an mp3 player, use MortSaver. basicall you can set it to turn screen off after a predetimend time. Therfore every time you use your remote, it normally turns on the sreen, and never turns off wasting battery whlle its sitting in your pocket.
Mort saver turns if off again after each use of the remote, so you can leave it in your pocket with the knowledge you are not draining you battery.
now Ill I need is some equalizer I can use with Mediaplayer!

With the attached file you have some kind of equalizer. Your using an equalizer to optimize the sound and this prog. realy does the trick!

Cheers already found this and its on the latest touch 4.01 ROM.
combination with Mortsaver and 8G SDHC card now makes the HTC3300 a very usable MP3 Player
Good Morning Everyone,
This morning Sling released their updated for the Slingplayer PPC client. This fully support WM6 and I have been using it the last 3 weeks.
http://www.slingmedia.com/mobile
Man I want to buy a slingbox so bad...
They are soooooo Cool!
Sweet deal on the Pro here:
http://www.slingmedia.com/nhlspecialoffer/
i think i am going to get a slingbox before football season and was wondering which is the cheapest but best. I the old 1st gen model any good. I dont need hd or anything just connect to my coax from my cable company. no cable box either. i am sorry if this looks like I am rambling i have been up since 1 am CDT
A classic unit would work fine. May be hard to find a brand new one with the exception of a few retailers or online avenues.
is the classic better than the tuner model? i am only going to use it on my mobile phone and maybe a Vista computer.

The classic has a built-in tuner and one AV input. I have one and it works great. I just got the Pro and it's super nice also
You can't beat the Sling on the 8525, it's really sweet. On WiFi you can get almost 4 straight hours of viewing, not bad at all!
I have had it for a while. I am having problems with it connecting to my Hermes? B4 flashing WM6 it worked fine, but now it says "Unable to connect to Slingbox!" I have it on my PC as well and it still works? Also my connection is 3G with all bars full? Any suggestions? (Other than that issue this is really sweet)
I had this problem, but it turned out to be a coincidence with switching to a new router (Netgear). My 8525 wouldn't connect, PC on the home LAN worked fine. Then I tested the PC from the "outside internet" and it wouldn't connect either. Turned out to be router settings, port forwarding. I then manually went thru the sling setup and defined fixed IP and ports, then set the router accordingly. Everything connects immediately now both inside and via wireless EDGE/3G.
Hi everyone, quick word to all that these are working with the SGSII. No need to wait until Samsung release them in 1-2 months, and at 6x the price!
Clove Blog will have my video proof up in a couple of hours.
Only enough power to supply pendrives, but drives with their own power supplies, or drives connected to the phone via an externally powered HUB, will work.
Read speeds are fast enough to watch 1080p content.
Unfortunately USB keyboard/mouse, and two different USB gamepads were a fail.
If only I knew a place I could post this where there might be devs around who could read it and make USB gamepad support happen...

Thanks mate, just bought it...
No worries!
Did you see the official ones are priced to sell at like 12pounds!
can it work with a memory card reader?
If the card reader doesn't draw too much power. I tried with one and it didn't work, but if I plug it into my externally powered USB hub then it works fine.
Updated first post with the requisite video proof.
Do you have a link for that dell keyboard & mouse you used in the video?.. it looks great
The Dell Mouse is freely available, I got mine for a song on Ebay.
The keyboard is awesome, but sadly no longer made. Its a Dell-branded 'iGo Stowaway Ultraslim" keyboard, has a truly great hinge mechanism and folds down to next to nothing. You may be able to find it somewhere, but last time I checked I couldn't find any. There are lots of cheap HID profile BT keyboards out there, check my thread in the Galaxy S forums - lots of people confirmed various ones working.
Amazing! excellent video and info
it was nice to also demo the BT keyboard & mouse
thanks
OP, thank you!
Are you rooted? Anything special needed to do the bluetooth? Anything special other than the adapter cable needed for the USB memory stick?

I don't think either the Desire or the Galaxy S will do USB OTG (although the Desire may have it baked into a custom ROM, because I know it was enabled in the Nexus 1 with a mod, I don't know enough about Desire custom ROMs to know).
The original Galaxy S does support bluetooth keyboard and mouse though (I have a demo of that in my youtube channel also).
Quick ?
Can you use the BT keyboard without the virtual one popping up?
Hope they release the USB on the go cable ASAP!!!. Thank you very much for the video, it made me get more ansious to get one of this cables and be able to connect my external hard drive full of MKV files.

Hi,
I just switched from an iPhone 5s (tired of the same "new phone" launches) to the G.N 4 last week, so far is great (picture, UI, features are amazing) but getting to stream my music thru my car not yet doable. every time I connect the phone thru the USB port, the car does not recognize the phone. I did not had that problem with the iPhone 5s though. I was reading thru couples of other site (cough, cough) the only way the car can read the music is by getting access to the mass storage, but I don't get that option( if you know how.. let me know and I can try it) on the phone. and the available programs on the play store, requires the phone to be rooted. Now with that said, What are my options?. Wait for a miracle and hoping that new update "Lollipop" will come with that option to be able to see the mass storage or to buy a Bluetooth streamer for my car (additional $$),using the 3.5mm adapter instead of my USB already built in.
Thanks in advance for your comments,
We have the same problem in our Nissan leaf. Ive read elsewhere it has to do with how the car reads the device. I've yet to fond a way to get it to work myself and just use the aux port.

If you read up on the issue it's a new security feature of 4.4 as Google iplemented it to keep information on your device secure. We know it sucks but we can't blame Samsung for Google changing security in the os.
Hello,
We're in the market for phone upgrades. I currently have a Pixel XL and my spouse still has his Nexus 5x. We're giving some thought to the SGS9+, if we can find a BOGO type deal as TMO did several times last year. While they aren't that exciting, I do like the addition of Samsung Pay that works with any strip reader and some of the other features (though we aren't completely sold on it yet).
We're traveling and typically bring a streaming stick which works in most places. But the internet in our current place is just too show so it doesn't work at all. We happened to have an external hard drive with some media files on it but we're currently having to use a Windows laptop to run the files since the stuck doesn't have a USB in.
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the SGS9+ as an OTG to read the external hard drive while using the HDMI out at the same time? Can I charge too? Would some sort of a USB C dock work for this? Or something else? Thanks so much in advance!

Maybe to late of a reply, but i think your refering to the samsung dex pad. It has 2 usb ports, 1 hdmi out, ethernet. Phone connects to dock via usb c. Kind of expensive tho $99. You can also buy a generic version that does the same thing on amazon for $30. It doesnt look as pretty, but functionality is the same.
