arnt we off the point?

Not sure but have we gone the point. I’ve been looking for a Bluetooth remote for my smartphone for 3 years

don’t want to have to wire my phone to anything or wire myself to the remote.

the reason i would like this is for several uses.

when at home and want to listen to music from my phone. (don’t want to stream as this seems a stupid idea..... simply why would anyone use this? stream audio you still need your phone plugged into power. why not just plug the phone into the Amp. if you've got to plug the phone in what’s the difference 1 wire or 2..... and if you’re not plugging into the power...... how much music can you listen to before your phone dies... and has to be recharged... so being plugged in AGAIN

and in the car, or round a mates house.

the Jabra 330 and other wireless headset type products also seem a bit foolish.

using it as a wireless headset your reducing sound quality and canning BOTH batteries, so 2 thing to make sure you have charged before you leave home.

and when using as a remote. your streaming audio over Bluetooth to the device. so surly would need the Head unit plugged in to the wireless headset.... hardly a wireless remote. may as well use a cable straight to the phone and use it directly.

what i would like is an "IRing" type product. just a Bluetooth remote for smartphones...

no headset, no streaming, minimal battery usage to achieve remote control. no reason why your phone battery should be affected at all when using this solution. can be left changing while changing tracks...

Seen the Sony Ericsson Live View product mentioned by someawesomeguy. looks the closest so far, but Sony gone 1 step to far...... why do we need such an excessive interface..... surly if we want to check our twitter we would use the phone not some crappie 1 inch screen. and i think it only connects to SE devices..... may be untrue but a rumour i heard, and considering its Sony not totally unbelievable)

it can’t be that hard to manufacture and looking how many people want this type of device cant believe that manufactures haven’t jumped on this potential accessory.

i hear voxluna frustration, trying to find this device online you are confronted by thousands of pc remote control software.

any thoughts?

I cannot believe there is no simple bluetooth steering wheel remote for android, or any bluetooth phone for that matter. All the ones I have come across, for some reason want to pass the audio through an aux port or fm. I have a kenwood bluetooth adapter but I have to use the remote, which is big and would look really funny strapped to my steering wheel!

I did come across a forum post where someone discovered that you can pair multiple devices to the phone and if you long press on the device, go into options you can uncheck use for phone audio and use for media audio. I don't want to buy something and uncheck those options only to find out you can no longer use the remote.

There probably isn't a big enough market for such a device or it's just technically possible. Oh well, I'll just keep using my big azz remote.

What I use around the house is a Wii remote and the Wiimote Controller app. It's got great range and I can set the buttons to do what I want.

I'm not sure know how good it would look taped to a steering wheel thou :)

that is what i use on my motorcycle with my 16g ipod nano and it works great. i would like to find something with a similar remote for music on my epic touch. i have spent days looking for something. i don't want my headphones connected to it, and it needs to be glove friendly to a point. all i would like to do is next, back, vol up and down.

thanks much for any info.

Hi guys, getting closer to a solution here... It's for iPad so far, but since it is bluetooth I hope it is only a matter of time before it will work with Android as well.

There is a remote called Satechi BT Media remote that is compatible with iPhones.

If it works like like a Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, media functions should work with Galaxy Note.

Sony Ericsson LiveView

This may be a good solution for a inexpensive fix. The Sony Ericsson LiveView. (Cant post outside links yet so search for "Sony Ericsson LiveView Bluetooth Phone Remote with Micro Display for Xperia PLAY and Other Android-Based Phones - Retail Packaging - Black" on Amazon.

The reviews aren't spectacular, says it looses connection every now and then, but for $30 (Retail Packaging on Amazon) I can deal with that. Normally I think the device is around $100 though.

I just ordered one so when it comes in I'll test it out and post back.

P.S. - Ive been looking for this kind of solution for weeks now and I'm surprised that there isn't an item like this out there already....

[G1 Accessories] Brodrost:
Anyone pledged for the iMpulse Game Controller & Key Finder?

I really want a tiny, blue tooth controller (or two) for my phone. It dosent seem to exist one yet. Gonna keep an eye on the iMpulse when the reviews start coming in. Its not optimal tough, as its optimized for gaming and to large with to many buttons. I would just need one button, click to play/pause, and double click to change song. :) Or maybe rev/play/for or vol-/play/vol+.

This should be a peace of cake to manufacture, right?
[G1 Accessories] Brodrost:
To liven up this thread a little, I just pre-ordered the iMpulse game controller. Gonna use it mainly for media controls in the car and when the phone is connected to the tv. Il give a review in this thread when i receive it.
[G1 Accessories] pheonix991:
Brodrost did you get your controller? The media controls on mine work pretty well. But, in Android, it is useless as a game controller.
[G1 Accessories] Brodrost:
Yes I did, and Im satisfied with the media controlls. Even use it to read comics in bed with my tablet on a stand, a useage I hadnt even tought of before. Its so comfortable to just blindly press the button in your hand to scroll down or turn the page.

I dont game on android, but Ive read that the impulse will get improvements with new firmware.

The biggest problem for me is that I use alot of different media apps (podcasts, two different audiobook apps, google play music, youtube and plex) and certain apps sometimes keep hogging or break in and kidnap the media controlls even tough Im using a different app. But thats an app/android thing and not something to blame on the impulse.

I would recommend the Impulse for anyone wanting a small bluetooth controll.
[G1 Accessories] LunaEros:
That iMPulse looks great but I am trying to find something that works just like it but is made specifically for mounting on the steering wheel.

Has anyone tried to use the remote that comes with either the Sodial or the Trailblazer kits?

So I am trying to get Album 3 to work with my ROM. I have tried many different packages with the same results. The menu text is way too small and now the screen just turns red. I have checked everything I could think of, was actually working on it for a good part of the day and I am so stuck. If I install it via cab it works fine.

Any ideas...anyone?

Can catch me on AIM, Yahoo or MSN. Use the same screen name as here and/or add live.com or yahoo.com

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
At0mAng, been a while since I made Legacypackages, but can you give this one a try? If you are having problems you may need the Album package to be introduced to the ROM at the end of the process. I forget with Legacy, but does OEM run last? might need to make it an OEM instead of Package with option(which I am attatching). Good luck ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] At0mAng:
Thanks I will try. I am thinking it might be one of the OEM packages in my OEM folder causing a problem somewhere. Since I have been not cooking for awhile I am not sure what packages I can safely remove from OEM folder since TF3D2 and some other stuff have different dependecies. Tried a few things but nothing works. Does Album 3.X work on 6.1? I am running 21051.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I believe it does. I seem to recall having it working on a 6.1 ROM. But I think I had that font issue when I didn't have Media Toolkit (photopicker) included. Or maybe you just have an incompatible version? (or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] At0mAng:
I gave up on Album 3. I thought photopicker had to be included. I tried many versions...

If it installs from CAB, it works well so everything that it needs is in ROM. The packages I tried must be missing a file. I thought it was the mui file, tried a few but with no luck. If you are anyone has the mui that works properly with it please post it :)

The only file that was missing was the mui so I am guessing it is that or a combo of things...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ark666:
Try mine my friend, i found these ones with 0409 mui files, these ones always worked fine on my kitchens.

Cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] At0mAng:
Thank you very much! Will give them a shot and see what happens.

I am rebuilding my kitchen from scratch to try to find what the issue is :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] B4PJS:
I believe that the issue is to do with an xml file in the album package, ha_skin_*.xml these need replacing or deleting. I cant remember which now. Do a search and this should bring this answer up :)

So i used to have an old 4gb MicroSD card for my Raphael. I just recently bought a 8gb. What i was wondering, how can i make an identical backup of my 4gb and load it to my 8gb so all my games and programs still work?
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
Just copy all the contents to your pc, then to the new card. It's easier with a card reader than doing it over active sync. I've hard to re-format my 16g card many times, and that's what I do.
[General Topics] ISiCK:
i actually just did that, the problem is only my pictures and music transferred over. All my games and apps that i installed onto my card dont work =(
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
I actually had a similar problem once with a bunch of free ebooks that I downloaded from tor; I couldn't copy them to save my life off of my old pda. Fortunately, it had two card slots, so I installed total commander on the device (hadn't had it before), and transferred the books to a new micro sdhc card in a sd card adaptor from the cf card that they were loaded on. Then I transferred that to my fuze. I would suggest trying to use the ftp plugin of total commander to transfer to your desktop. With that said, I have NO IDEA IN HELL how to use the ftp plugin of total commander. You could probably do it as well with resco explorer. You're on your own, but it shouldn't be that hard to figure this stuff out.

One other option is to try sprite or sk tools backup (or something similar). Some backup apps have the option of backing up your sd card. I always thought it was kind of silly, because where in the hell do you store it, if your card is nearly full? Who knows, maybe if you sync to a pc, it will automatically store the backup on the pc. Or, delete all the stuff that you can transfer to the pc, run the backup (and store it on the card), then copy everything to the new card and do a restore.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockaj:
after trying for a couple days i think i finally got all of the necessary components for the a2sd auto swap program to work on my phone, but i dont think it is working yet..

I partitioned my SD card (fat32 and ext2),

adb push c:\userinit\userinit.sh /system/sd ,

adb shell chmod 755 /system/sd/userinit.sh ,

adb shell reboot ,

the phone rebooted, but i think it is still saving apps to the phones hard drive.

also I entered cat /proc/ramzswap into my terminal console and it said that the good compression was at 71%

(since it said in the userinit.sh guide "To see if it is working enter: cat /proc/ramzswap in the terminal console app on the phone. You should have a XX% GoodCompress listed if it is working properly.")

any input would be apperciated

i am using cyanogen v3.6.8.1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
So are you trying to do a2sd, Swap, or both? If its just a2sd, its automatically done for you if you have partitioned card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockaj:
i am just trying to get a2sd.

i partitioned my phone using ubuntu and when i finished it said that the sd card was not formated but when i rebooted it the sd card was fine so im assuming its still patitioned..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Easiest way to check if its partitioned correctly is to goto recovery console.

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print

and it should display partitions on the SD card. If it doesn't look right to you...

Toy around with the numbers if you want.

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Remove your storage card and try it again. I think there's a Part00 conflict with it.

Try from here:

In case there is a read error in the imgfs (as shown here) you'll have to read one specific 0x800 byte section separately and patch the diskimage to make it work. So either the flash is bad, or the driver reading it has bugs.

If your phone returns Part02_0.raw without errors, you can simply rename Par02_0.raw to Part02.raw and skip to step 15*

10. Check what we have so far:

C:\itsutils>dir Part*.raw10/08/2006 22:52 3.275.776 Part00.raw10/08/2006 22:53 3.014.656 Part01.raw10/08/2006 23:00 39.911.424 Part02_0.rawC:\itsutils>11. We use the 0x800 byte trick to complete dumping the rest of imgfs.

The file size is 39.911.424 (0x2610000 in hex), so we specify this value as start, and 0x800 byte length:

C:\itsutils>pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -p Part02 0x2610000 0x800 Part02_1.rawCopyTFFSToFile(0x2610000, 0x800, Part02_1.raw)12. It worked, now we have to start at 0x2610000 + 0x800 and read the rest of the partition which is 0x32e0000 (total size) - 0x2610800 (what we have already read), so the result is 0xccf800 bytes length we need to read:

C:\itsutils>pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -p Part02 0x2610800 0xccf800 Part02_2.rawCopyTFFSToFile(0x2610800, 0xccf800, Part02_2.raw)13. And that's it, all dumped successfully:
