PDA REMOTE

HI all I am looking for the software that will make my xdaIIs a tv remote
Cheers
jason

a small problem
okay i have tired using xdas as a tv remote and they dont work very well, what i mean is that it does work within about 4 inches but no more it is because the ir prot on the xdas arent of industry standard so there is no real point to them at the moment.

I got out to about 1 meter. Pretty much useless IMO. Unless you're at the mall and want to do a mind job on the people watching the demo show on a plasma screen.

i had a remote on a a nokia 3650 and it had quite a distance on the ir beam. i used to mess with my fellow collegues at work in the canteen. turningit off, mute, and changing the channels while the ladies watch there girlie programs. oh so much fun, not with blueangel tho, ir is too weak.

year i was gutted when it didn't work that well. would had been nice as you can make custom buttons etc for everything which has an ir remote

Yeh, I found an app that let you "teach" you pocket PC special functions by pointing the TV remote at it... never worked tho
My Sony Ericsson P800 worked from like 30 feet at least! I wish WM was as polished as Symbian UIQ. It's full of great ideas but they are always flawed and so unstabe *sigh*
I especially like how the IR port is now on the side so I can't use my IR keyboard that I had for the XDA 2 as the IR pointer thing won't wor at that angle *sigh* Who's bloody idea was that?!?!

lol, whats the point putting ir port on anyway, its not compatable with all fones i find, and its a waste of time, they should have left it out let alone put it on the side........

This site laggs and I've had a few like that where the page stops responding.

In my house I use a system with NetRemote (www.promixis.com) and an USB-UIRT (www.usb-uirt.com) to control just about everything exept my wife. The kids are easy - I just turn on Cartoon Network!

You can buy and use Griffin Total Remote (with the dongle) to turn your HTC BA into a remote control.
I'm using it myself. I wasn't sure if it would work or not, so i gave it a shot.
It works great with a "4C 2.5mm to 2.5mm adapter" (or with a standart 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter but inserted half-way to the 2.5mm headset output)
The range is quite good but it needs a direct line-of-sight, needs a little "getting used to"
And through HTC BA's IR port you can teach any remote's functions to it...

BA as a TV Remote
Hi! I realize this is an old thread, but...
I've been looking for any tweak to increase the ir range of my Blue Angel -- enuf to use it as a remote for my TV... As many others have mentioned, this ir is significantly underpowered to use as a remote control. At best I needed to be 5ft or closer for the ir to work correctly, but my couch is about 8ft from the TV. Kinda defeats the purpose if I have to stand up and walk 3ft every time I want to change the channel! :?
After reading several posts, it's pretty clear this just isn't possible. So, I tried the next best thing. If I can't increase the range of the the BA, why not get an ir extender? So, I picked up a "LeapFrog" and set it up close to where I watch TV (which happens to be set-up on the left side of me).

Game Grip

Hey. I just saw that game grip has a request form for requesting what devices they should make it for.
I submitted a request for the X. I was hoping if we get enough people to request one maybe they will produce it.
The gamegrip is a controller addpn for android phones.
Here is the form

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I did as well but then I saw how the product is made. It is just plastic that goes over a physical keyboard. Since the DX does not have that I would not count on getting one.

Wii controller works perfectly fine. If you need the extra buttons you can plug the super controller into the wii stick.
Its nice because you dont have to block any of your screen while playing.
Edit: Could you imagine something covering your screen that give you the ability to use all the SNES or PSX buttons. That would not be enjoyable.

I wish we could get a PS3 controller working with it. That way you have all the possible buttons, without having a device plugged into another.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention the fact that most people who are into roms, etc are more likely to have a ps3 than a wii

It would be nice for some one to develop an add on that snaps to the bottom of the DX and plugs into the micro usb port. Its nice to have a hold of the device instead of trying to prop it up some how.
BUT having a ps3 controlling the device streaming HDMI to my tv would be SICK.

A little off topic, but I really don't see how you'd be more likely to have a PS3, I am into playing old Nintendo games, I can run them all on my Wii. I have a PSOne and PS2 but no PS3 and could care less about emulation on that system.

My exhaustive analysis of Android Gaming Controllers.

I love the idea of android devices as a portable gaming console. They now have all the power of last gen consoles at least, the batteries last forever, tons of ports (usb, HDMI, BT), great built in screens and they're super portable. I started out just messing around on my Incredible, later had a GTab (which was a really early device that worked ok but had a bad screen) and now have a Xoom running ICS and have a Galaxy Nexus on the way.
Native android gaming is coming along nicely now to the point where I have about 50 games on my tab. Many of them are free or were daily deals on the Amazon store. Many of them I bought full price. All in all I've probably spent $50 on games. Some of them aren't so great, others are suprisingly good and the situation gets better every day.
I also enjoy a bit of emulation. Before you get all upity the only games I have been playing are ones I actually have the cartridge for. Mostly I have just been playing through Chrono Trigger (which I own so **** you!) along with the Giant Bomb endurance run.
Recently Onlive was also released for android and it is pretty impressive how well games play with even average internet connections. If you haven't tried this out you should. It's free and you can trial all games or up to one hour which is a service with value alone.
All 3 of these gaming experiences can benefit from one thing.
A CONTROLLER!
I have previously used a Wiimote and classic controller with an IME app which works well enough but having the Wiimote hanging off the controller as nothing but a bluetooth dongle is annoying and kinda kills the whole point of having a wireless controller in the first place. Datel apparently made a classic controller with the transmitter and battery built in for a while but I wasn't able to find any for purchase anywhere.
Next a few months back app started to hit the market that let you use the Dualshock 3 with Android devices. This is a pretty good solution. The DS3 is a great controller and the setup is reasonably painless. You just have to connect the controller to a desktop and run an app there to bind the controller to your android device. After that you run an app on the device each time you want to use the controller. You'll also have to configure the controls within some games for the controller layout. Not too bad but if you use the controller for your ps3 as well you'll have to plug it into the PS3 to reset it then connect it to your PC to get t back on the droid device. Now I use the PS3 with BT for my desktop using MotionJoy's software and switching between it and the droid is even more of a hassle which I won't go into because I haven't even figured out a reasonably quick method. Since both devices are using the controller via a weird workaround this isn't really surprising.
So today I went looking again and found 2 new options. A while back Gamestop announced they would be carrying 'Gaming Tablets' and as part of it they were going to be selling a wireless gamepad. Well apparently they have started getting them and I found one in stock on my commute home. First impressions were that the device feels cheap. At the $40 I paid it's already a bit overpriced but that according to the website is a discount from the original price of $99 which would be highway robbery. Though the button layout is essentially the same as a PS3 controller the device doesn't feel anything like a DS3 or a 360 controller. It's much lighter. The plastic is cheap and I'm sure with use, will begin to creek. It just feels like cheap Chinese construction. I'm not sure but I think the device is all digital, in fact I think all they did was essentially wrap a gamepad around a bluetooth keyboard. The triggers are digital for sure but the 2 sticks might be analog though I don't think so. They do feel decent with a good resistance on the springs. The D-pad is less exciting and feel mushy. The other buttons are serviceable, nothing particularly good or bad about them. They are two shoulder buttons on each side with 2 of them shaped like triggers and then the four normal face buttons (labelled 1-4 instead of the square, triangle etc as in the product page image). There are also four other buttons on the face which are the power button, the pair button, escape and enter. The power button is obvious but it should be noted the device powers on and off in a second or 2. The pair button is likewise pretty normal. The escape and enter buttons seem to be like the back button and action respectively in android which is kind of nice. It lets you use the controller as a general purpose remote for your tab. This is particularly nice if you want to use it for media on a TV with HDMI. What this means is that you don't really have a start and select button on the face. The left stick seems to be mapped to standard keyboard arrow keys while the right stick and the D-pad are mapped to letters or numbers. The device has a rechargeable cell which is nice and this is charged from a standard USB port. I'm not sure yet about battery life but it seemed to get a full charge after about half hour.
Considering the lack of other dedicated options for tablets this device isn't all bad. It does what it should. It requires no apps or setup other than pairing up to your device which takes seconds. It also powers on and off in seconds and each reconnection is near instant. Also it should be noted that this should work with any BT enabled android device. I don't think there are any version restrictions.
I have tested it with a snes emulator which it works perfectly with. I also tried GTA3 for Android, in which I was able to run around, grab a car and drive by default. I could probably get it working well enough if I took some time to config the controls in game.
All in all this device is a bit of a tough sell at $40 especially if you have a PS3 controller already and don't mind the relatively minor hassles that entails. If you can find one for $20 or even $30 its would be much more reasonable.
I was thinking the device might be mod-able due to it being so light. I have seen some people get things like the MSI BT controller fit into a snes controller frame. Unlike those devices though this is essentially one large PCB with the button contacts right on it except for the shoulder buttons and analog sticks. This would limit options. Maybe someone will find some good options but that will only increase the cost of course.
Product page:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838
The second option I found today is much sexier but a little pricier. It is the Onlive Universal Wireless Controller which I have high hopes for. Everything I have read about it seems to indicate the level of material quality is much higher. Also it requires Honeycomb or ICS which means it isn't just a BT keyboard. Full Onlive support is obvious and again according to my reading it comes with a BT dongle for use with the PC but I'm hoping it will work with my standard dongle for simplicity. The device even comes with a rechargeable pack and a AA cartridge just like the 360 controllers which is a nice feature. When connected to a PC you can use up to 4 of them with one dongle which is nice. Perhaps the tablet will be able to support multiple controllers as well but I haven't read anything about that yet, There are also a number of media buttons on the controller which could prove convenient. I'm hoping this will let me replace both the Gamestop controller for my tab and my DS3 for my PC while being able to switch easily between them.

Anyway, I ordered one tonight and I'll probably write something up about it next week.

Nice review. I was considering the Gamestop controller but now might wait.
Dicho por el E4GT de Latinmaxima con Tapatalk.

I'm looking forward to your onlive controller review. at $50.. that's definitely a hard sell, but given the service you pair that with.. negligable.

Subscribing.. thanks for this!

I have seen that device. It just seemed like with only directional and one (maybe 2) buttons the device doesn't really support much. I'll have to look into it more. Maybe if I can find one cheap I'll grab it and take a look.
PS My Onlive controller should arrive tomorrow so I'll get something written up on it likely by the end of the week.

$50 is a bit steep but for me anyway I'll probably be able to sell off my PS3 controller which I just use for my PC now and use the onlive controller. If I get $40 for the PS3 it turns out to be pretty much a wash. I know that's probably not the case for most but it may help some. Anyway we'll see how good it is soon

Looking forward to the review of the OnLive controller!!
I have a PS3 and 2 controllers but the kids use them (nearly) every day so I really can't use one of those and switch it around all the time.
Also I don't believe the PS3 controller can be paired with 2 different Android devices at the same time. Eh, I don't mean real-time concurrency, I mean I don't think I can have it set up on both my Bionic and Xoom and switch between them without having to set it all up again on the PC. If I'm wrong about that please correct me! If the OnLive controller can do that I'll be sold!

I want one of these

I agree that $50 for just any old regular controller is robbery. LOL. I refuse to buy brand new xbox controllers for that reason. But one controller that can be used on multiple platforms.. meh.. i can mentally justify that.. though I'd rather not ya know? LOL.
in the meantime i discovered an app called "BT Controller" that lets you use one android device to control the other. so I'm going from my GS2 to the Xoom

Not that I'm trying to rush you or anything..... But did ya get it yet? Did ya?! Did ya?! Did ya?!

I completely forgot about the onlive controller. I got a promotional email a few days ago from onlive where if you pre purchased their new soccer game 39.99 full play pass, they were actually giving away the entire gaming system for free. I just checked offer expired today. That really sucks, I was so.busy last week I only glanced at the offer. Basically for 40$ you'd get the game which came out today and the wireless controller setup along with their consule box to hook up to any TV. Which costs 99.99 alone, I should of jumped at the offer instead of waiting. Let me know how it work, so I can kick myself for now I'll have to pay 50 just for the controller

Wiimote?
I used a Wiimote with Gensoid today using the Wiimote Controller app from the marketplace, didn't realise it was so easy - worked straight off with only minor hassle of having to switch between Wiimote and Keyboard input manually. Great for those old 3 and 2 button controller games!

I downloaded it and tried it out based on your post, works great with nesoid! I had a few setup and mapping issues but once I got those sorted everything is working fantastic.

Dual Shock all the way
I am also impressed with the gaming capability of the Xoom and I have been enjoying playing Modern Combat 3. Using a decent controller makes all the difference and my controller of choice is the Dual Shock controller from my PS3.
It is true that it cannot be paired with two devices at once, which is a bit annoying, but it works really well. I cannot I imagine why anyone would pay $50 for a controller that is not as good. Just buy a Dual Shock controller and the SixAxis application and you're all set.

Best 3rd Party Bluetooth Controller?

Have a Shield Tablet and i have ordered the official Nvidia wireless controller from Amazon but they are taking forever to send it (currently doesnt even have a shipping estimate and i pre-ordered it). Im considering getting an affordable bluetooth controller for the time being (and using it as a secondary controller later).
The issue is all of the controllers ive come across have very mixed reviews. I dont need anything fancy just something thats functional and reliable. Id like it to offer analog sticks and all the required buttons.
So whats the best brand/model 3rd party controller thats 100% functional on the shield tablet?
Thanks

I'm gonna try the Moga Pro, kinda expensive but I shouldn't have to buy the Nvidia one if I have it.

The one for the Amazon Kindle Fire TV works quite well.

Moga pro looks awasome
LG-D855 cihazımdan Tapatalk kullanılarak gönderildi

Moga Pro. Had the first Moga Pro and updated to the Moga Power Pro when that came out too.

how do you map your 3rd party controller's buttons? I have the Asus controller that I ordered with my Nexus Player. It seems to work great, I just need to map the power button on the controller as being the start button.

I own a couple of the Nvidia Shield controllers, and they're great and all. Particularly as they were made for the console, they work pretty well. But after taking a look into the Power A Moga Pro, have decided to order a couple of them. Despite their steep price, they seem to be well worth it. Especially as I can also use the MP with a phone.

Certain members of my family, namely my luddite partner, have found the official shield remote complicated to use. For our second Shield this time I ordered the Amazon Kindle Fire Voice TV Remote, as it has all of the buttons on the official Shield remote, but the addition of a pause, fast forward, rewind, and menu buttons. It also has properly labelled Android buttons for home and back. I have hoped this will encourage her to use Kodi etc. more.
We have been using it for two or three days now and my first impressions are these; this is much cheaper than the official remote, it is a very nice bit of kit although being made of plastic is does not have the same premium feel as the official remote, and the buttons make noise when you click them which I personally find ever slightly cheapens the experience. That is not to say it feels cheap - it is of good build quality. Opting for this remote you also lose the functionality of a micro USB port to charge, and instead have to use batteries, starting with those included, and you will also lose the 3.5mm headphones jack port. The voice control does work but you need to hold the button down to speak rather pressing it just once - we have had some issues with voice not working, as in not responding at all to the audio of our voices, and Android apparently getting stuck on the screen where it listens. To resolve this we needed to cold reboot the shield. Sometimes it also takes a few button presses to get the Shield to start responding, but once it does it keeps working at least for that session. We have our shield behind the TV so I am not sure whether that may be a factor with the signal or not.
All of that said, I would still recommend this over the official remote and not just because of the difference in price. For the room this Shield is in we are less likely to need to use the headphones, and we always have the game controller for that.

I am retracting my recommendation for using the Amazon Fire TV Voice Remote with the Shield, it just has too many issues, half the time it does not work and a reboot is required, and often it takes several keypresses to get a response on screen, and often I cannot boot the shield using the remote, even pressing the different buttons repeatedly.
I started using the official remote again and it was a relief, it is overpriced, it lacks rewind, fast forward etc. buttons, but it just works all of the time.

I've got a Razer Serval, can't map the buttons, so it's pretty crap really

Third Party Remotes

I'm personally not a fan of the stock remote. It's a lot of money for not a lot of buttons. What else have people tried? I've heard of success connecting the Amazon Fire TV Stick remote to the Shield. Has anybody tried the Nexus Player remote or the Roku 3 remote?
I'm currently using the stock game controller and a DualShock 4 controller.

What about Logitech Harmony with the FLIRC universal IR receiver. I've used in my current media center an Acer Revo wonder if the IR will work in Android, I've read yes but I don't know. Off course you will spend more money but Harmony is a plus for me.

I'm just looking for a small remote that will give me the main functions of the overpriced stock one. I've read that the Amazon Fire TV stick remote works with our Shield, and it is only $15 on Amazon, but unfortunately they do not ship to Canada as the Fire TV is not sold here.

Does the sound still come out from your TV/ sound system? I asked cos I had a MINIX A2 with voice control but it routed the audio to the remote speaker instead of from TV.
So you will press a button to trigger google voice, speak to the remote, Shield return the results, and everything back to normal?
