Bought the SW3 and have been trying to find a way to use it as a liveview remote for my Sony HDR-AS100V Action Cam. There's an app that makes the watch work with the GoPro cams. But I haven't found one to work with Sony's cams. Pretty disheartening since their both the same manufacturer. You'd think Sony would work with Sony if Sony can work with GoPro.
Anyone else ran into this or found a way to connect the two and use the SW3 as a remote? Wonder if side loading the Play Memories app would work? It controls the Action Cams on smartphones.
Please help if you can!!

Hi there just wondered if anyone has come across an app that allows the Desire to mimic a PS3 bluetooth remote, just thinking it would mean one less remote cluttering up the sofa
Cheers

From what I've seen the only option at the moment is Pocket Blu however that sucks as it only works with Pocket Blu enabled Bluray discs. If you do find something I'd be most interested.
Hi,
You can try original "BD Remote for Android" from Sony I use it to control my blu ray BDV-F500 via WiFi.
Thanks RFX, but "BD Remote for Android" is not designed for PS3 acording to the app store but will give it a go tonight.
Cheers akirainblack, i will check it out
I was wondering what's the best app out there to use the xperia play as a PC gamepad, including the option to use the accelerometers as a wheel/flight stick/kind of analog pad, obviously the hardware button and, if at all possible, use the analog pads in the xperia play

As far as I know splashtop gamepad is the best in this purpose.
Suggestion
Try Njoy for me works
But njoy doesn't use the accelerometer, right? I was trying using Droidmote, which does, to control Dirt 2 with accelerometers, but I also have to mess with the whateverthatmakesitlooklike an xbox controller on the PC side. I'll probably mess with it some time during the weekend.
set tilt left and tilt right to any left/right button. hope u understand my crap english and hope it helps
Hey all,
I've been using CM for a while, but I always have a lingering regret of going back to stock for the sole purpose of having the TV app. The greatest thing about it was it had a simple TV favourite interface with remote controls and access to other media systems.
Has anyone discovered any apps similar to this? Meaning to take advantage of the IR blaster for the one and have a nice interface with cable TV.

I use the Highly Customizable remote (IR Blaster) called "smart remote" I'ts a little pricey but I believe its well worth it, you can set up anything and everything with it. I have my Denon receiver, BlueRay, Directv, Panasonic Viera TV, and my HD streaming box all connected to the app and if you set it up right you can usually turn all devices on with click of one button, including switching inputs on TV &/or receiver at the same time..here it is on the play market...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy~~~~~it's made for the HTC One, Hope this helps you!!!

I am using Smart Remote. Also a little pricey but it controls everything I own and even things like HVAC units. Nice interface and easy to set up.

So After holding onto my play for a very long time it's touch started to barely function (It's working currently but not reliably enough for regular use as a phone) I can navigate menus and stuff with the physical controls for the most part. But since I had an upgrade available I picked up the GS5. While I love my new phone and it's substantially stronger processing power It's hard using the emulators and other games I used to use the physical controls for. I plan on getting one of the Moga controllers at some point but can't afford to just yet. So for now is there any way to use my Play with it's glorious physical controls as a bluetooth gamepad with my GS5?
TLDR: I want to use my Play device as a BT gamepad for my GS5, but don't know if it's possible or what methods to try.
Thank you for any help. I'm greatly looking forward to any creative solutions that might be offered.
We must have exactly the same minds. Please help us!

Thanks! I'm getting it installed right now. Hopefully everything will work out right.
EDIT: Shoot. I can't get the apk to install on my Xplay... It says that it couldn't parse it.

Install client.apk on Play and server.apk on GS5.
Pair two phones with bluetooth from android settings.
Enable "XplaR Remote pad" in keyboard setting in your GS5.
Whenever you want to use your Play remotelly, turn bluetooth on both devices, change input method on your GS5 to XplaR Remote pad.
It is working for me (stock debloated GB on Play, stock debloated on Xperia ZL) (i'm using it when playing ppsspp)
I tried again still no luck. I can install the server app on my GS5, but the client won't install on my Xplay. I've tried downloading it again and it didn't help. Do I need to update my play or something?
Hi everyone,
I want to ditch my first and last Samsung phone because of the obnoxious Galaxy store pushing. Uninstallable, Samsung chosen, system level 3rd party apps that require many permissions, pop-ups asking for constant permissions with a cancel button, but no way to choose "Don't ask again" so repeat ad-nauseam etc etc.
What is the Sony Android experience like?
My last Sony was the era before smartphones so I've really no idea, but am considering getting one soon.
Hi, it's very stock Android experience. Depending on what Xperia you get it comes with few Sony apps (camera, launcher, music, news) that's it.
Good Luck
Sony is premium and its quality of product is amazing , hardware or software you will be amazed
however if you are looking to mirror the phone ( Desktop mode ) then SOny still lagging behind Samsung ( samsung Dex ) which is an amazing way to use your mobile phone as full fledge PC like experience on the go with just a USB C cable needed ( for USB c supported monitors )
however Sony alwasy allows the air mirroring ( mira cast ) so there is a way but for less latency ( gaming ) wired option is much needed which is not available in sony for now.

No, I've completely uninstalled Dex. I don't use anything except for basic features.
I do like to root though so I'm also wondering about that with Sony phones.
