Hello,
I'm looking for a bluetooth remote control for my TyTN. I don't know if that kind of stuff exists.
When I'm in my car, listening to music with TCPMP (or other audio programs), it's quite hard to clic on next or stop or play on the TyTN touchscreen and driving at the same time
That's why I was thinking of a remote control.
Any help is welcome
Thank you
I just think if the bluetooth can remote control the media player on our phone,it will be a revolution to the ppc.
Or your hope could come true the day the bluetooth producer make it.And we are longing for that day coming.
A few years back I had a Nokia phone and there was a utility that worked with Winamp on a WinXP computer and a plugin for a Symbian phone that allowed me to control WinAMP from my phone. It was cool. I was playing in a band and we had to provide our own break music. I'd light up the laptop between sets and control the play list from my phone from the parking lot outside or even the other side of the room!
I wish there were something similar for WinMo, though I really don't need it these days. It's still cool!

TCPMP, AFAIK, cannot be controlled with the default Bluetooth stack on the TyTN.
When I had the HP HW6515, it used the Broadcom stack, and it would control TCPMP.
I don't know of a pure non-audio Bluetooth AVRCP remote control.
Have you ever heard of creating playlists ,then you wont have to touch the tytn lol

I just received my HTC RC e100 remote control stereo headset.
http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-wired-remote-control-stereo-headset/11A29A5242.htm
The concept is cool and I had high hopes. I plugged it into my Tilt2 and started to play with it. The headphone icon appears up in the top bar. But it won't control TCPMP, CorePlayer or PocketMusic. Every time i push a button on the device it automatically opens up Windows Media Player. The remote buttons do work in WMP (except for the "Mute' button), but who uses that? So I installed the drivers that came on the mini CD. But the install indicated that my current drivers were up to date. So I downloaded the drivers shown on the HTCDepot product page. Same result...my drivers are current. So this device does not seeem to control anything besides WMP. Every button on the device launches WMP.
Anyone else have any experience with this product on the Tilt 2 with stock ROM?
Stock French ROM on mine, using the same Headset.
It works with WMP and the HTC Manilla MP3 player. Nothing else.
If the phone is not playing anything, and I press the "Play" button, then it runs the Manilla MP3 player, not WMP.
The product is quite good, but lack of connectivity to other software, unfortunatly.
I have heard mixed reviews.....but I might get it anyways for the car so I don't have to wear out the power button to change tracks. I am the typical guy who changes stations every minute.....lol!!!!
have you tried an app like ae button plus to see if you could assign the button presses to the different apps?
Good suggestion. I have tried AE and RKC and also the button mapping options inside of PocketMusic and TCPMP. But everytime you push one of the buttons on the remote when trying to map it, it opens up Windows Media Player instead of accepting the input to the various mapping dialogs. I am tired of fiddling with it and sending it back. Thanks all.
Phone Buttons Not Working
I have one of these as well, only WMP works, but in addition, the phone buttons do nothing.
Works fine on Tilt 1. Do your phone buttons work ?
Thanks.

Using stock WWE UK ROM (2.07.401.1) /w RCE100, all buttons on the remote are working ... did not install the drivers that came with the headset.
HTH,
This remote work perfectly with "pocket player" from Conduit.
I note, there's some bugs if you have S2U2 installed even with last version 2.41 (establish USB connection very slow and lose contrle of the buttons after 10~15 mins.
can i use mw600 with laptops bluetoooth?
i.e all the music i play on my laptop..is streamed to mw600..which outputs it to connected headset.
so i can walk around and listen to music from my laptop in my room
Yes, all you have to do is pair it, and Windows should automatically connect and send audio through it. If it doesn't, just right click on the Bluetooth Devic and select "Control" - you should get a dialogue window where you can click "Connect." I use it all the time at work... fantastic!

Notice you won't get track names in the MW600 when playing songs from Windows, as it happens with X10.

It does that at all?
It doesn't for me, yet I'm using mediascape and this headset.
It never showed me anything else than the SE logo and volume level.
EDIT:
After googling around on this, I've found out that the ID3 tags via Bluetooth are not supported by Android OS at the time being.
Quote from SE Team's Facebook:
Sony Ericsson Hi All,
Here is the update:
1. ID3 information requires the AVRCP 1.4 in order to be displayed on the MW600. Therefore the ID3 tags will not appear on the MW600 when paired with an X10.
2. X10 doesn’t support FF/RW function.
All other functions should be as normal. The "start playback" issue experienced by Stefan shouldn't occur, this may be specific with your headset, can you test with another X10 at a store location?
As for you Tord, are you pressing and holding the power button until the pairing indicator appears? You should then be able to search for the headset via your phone. Let me know.

I am using ubuntu to connect to mw600. It connects without hitch.
but is giving mono output.
can someone using windows please tell me if they can hear stereo sound?
I use my MW600 with multiple computers (my work laptop HP 8540W and my home computer) and stereo bluetooth works just fine. As does using it as a headset for skype.
For ubuntu you may have to find a different driver for bluetooth or make sure your device/drivers support AD2P.

Unable to play songs on MW600 from my laptop
Hello Folks,
I have been trying to stream music from my laptop onto MW600 headset, but for some reason the music always escapes through the laptop speakers..!
I think I am already in love with this device, only that I am not able to use it to its fullest.
Also, if anyone can guide if this may work with Skype ? what is it differently that I may have to do to configure my MW600 to it ?
OS Platform : Windows XP Pro.
PS : I am not being able to figure out where the control option on the Bluetooth in the PC comes on.
Appreciating your help.

Gmote has a remote music feature. Allows remote play of music files, won't be a remote speaker though. Available in the Market for free.
I'm also looking for something like this, I would like to use my android phone as a wireless receiver at home so that I can plug my phone's audio out into my amp then stream whatever audio is coming from my laptop out of the main speakers.
The droid 2 comes with an app, that does somethins similiar to this, called DLNA. It is not a speaker for the computers audio player, but it will play the music you have stored on your computer through the phone.
Try audiogalaxy

Gmote 2.0 now supports also music stream

Thanks mate, exactly what I needed, perfect suggestion.
Apart from that: I think you can also stream your music from your Dropbox! (click)
Thanks for the links but I am really looking for something more 'passive' that turns my phone into something like an Apple "Airport Express" while I am at home and it is on charge.
I mainly want to do this to use some streaming audio services that I can get on my laptop but not on the phone. Such as Spotify free and any flash based audio players as my device is Android 2.1 only :-(
There is an app for iPhone called AirPhones which does this. Any ideas for Android?
I'm also looking for something like this, something that will allow me to play all sound and not just music.
I understand what you guys are saying but I do not know of any app that does this yet. Currently, apps like homepipe, a gmote, use an app on your computer to create a server connection that your phone can connect to and then browse files. DLNA is the same thing but licensed. For what you guys want, you would need an app that creates a server connection but now to a file directory but instead to the audio card/audio out. I'm unfamiliar with how hacked airport express' work (the ones that allow you to stream any audio not just iTunes) but I was under the assumption that it worked at the programs I mentioned above, except the server app was itunes itself. essentially, iTunes could play music on your computer but it would then share the data over the wifi connection to another device (the airport express) which had access credentials. If I'm wrong someone please correct me...
bumping this really old thread.
still looking for a way to transmit pc audio to android over wifi.
anybody have any recommendations or news?
AirBubble, allows your phone to act as a AirPort Express. So you can stream music from iTunes, iphones, ipads, etc to your phone and then play it out via the headphone jack. As far as I know there are no apps which allow you to stream audio from PC.
I'm very much interested in this kind of app.
Specifically I want it so that I can watch Hulu/Netflix on my large TV in bedroom, but have the sound come through my headphones so I don't wake the beautiful lady next to me
Any help here would be much appreciated.
Anyone want to comment on quality?

Our best hope is a port of Pulse Audio... I may look into this, but I'm admittedly over my head on that one... I'll see what I can do.

I am looking for the same thing,
Using an old android phone as Wireless Audio Receiver and Hook it up to speakers or Headphone in Bedroom, either Via Bluetooth or Wifi.
To receive audio from PC or any other wifi and bluetooth capable devices
This is a work in progress, but is highly complicated due to the differences between standard Linux and Android. More here: http://arunraghavan.net/2012/04/pulseaudio-on-android-part-2/
Soundwire
There's an app in google store called 'soundwire', that's a solution. It streams any sound from a notebook over wifi to an android device. Anyway I'm looking for the same kind of app which uses bluetooth for that. Would b nice not to have to use a router to stream sound from computer's sound card to my android phone.
I can't believe this isn't standard. This is the kind of tech that makes people smile and isn't impossible with the DLNA standard. Anyway, just crazy that this isn't out there and all over the place.
I'm in the same boat and want to clarify things a bit.
There are two vastly different things here. One is a bluetooth wireless music adapter (bridge) and the other is a DLNA capable server/client that plays from the server to the client but is server controlled.
Bluetooth is fine, but short ranged and crappy sound quality. We all already have wireless in our houses and Apple does this perfectly fine with the AirPlay, so why are we interested in bluetooth?
Most DLNA servers run and have media on them, then you connect a client which has the speakers and play from that client, streaming the audio to the client. we want a way to stream from a device (server) to a client, but that is server controlled, almost like pushing music to another device.
looks like AirBubble might be on the way there as are some others that set up an AirPlay speaker connection. Now we just need to find an app that will search for these AirPlay speakers and use them for out audio instead of the build-in speakers or headphone.
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------
okay got this working, mostly.
The apps I'm using are:
AirPlay/DLNA Receiver which is the receiver to connect to the speakers and
Twonky Mobile which streams your media to the receiver.
Basically set up your Android device and plug in the cable to your stereo or headphones. Start the AirPlay/DLNA receiver. Then use the Twonky app to stream whatever is in your other Android device to the receiver. After setting it up Twonky should find your other device and let you stream to it.
Pulse Audio is not a piece of dlna software. Pulse Audio is an audio subsystem of Linux, an alternate to the subsystem in Android. Pulse Audio has the native capability to broadcast lag-free audio for free across a number of connections.
Dlna is more just a file sharing protocol. It certainly can be used to play music files across a network, but it isn't nearly as capable as pa (pa sends pure audio over a connection and costs nothing to either system).
There are some dlna clients that integrate pa for a well-rounded media solution, but they are fat from one in the same.

Hi...
I want to use my Hd2 as car pc... Yes you might say, it has a navipanel allready. But its not that what i imagine, however its similar. Navi panel has 6 Buttons, for Calling, go home, start copilot and so on. But no buttons for starting a music player or video player, gmeter ( i love it). So i am searching for an customizable Panel where i can set my 6 Buttons, like in CHT. It would be perfect if the APP connects to my a2dp Radio when it starts...
Is there any app can do this??
Regards
don't know if this is what you're looking for but what did was use wisbar advance desktop. from there i created the following shortcuts on my screen:
1) call home
2) call my wife's cel
3) call my kid's cel (yeah, these days they have phones as well =)
4) gps (papago or navigon)
5) pocket player (music)
6) coreplayer (when my kid is in the car and we go for long drives)
7) bt toggle (activates a2dp)
my phone is bonded to my trusty old r35 headset which is then plugged to my car's sound system. for my wife's car, this is no longer needed as she already has bt built in her car. yeah, i got the older model =) so when i toggle my bt, it connects immediately to the r35 and thus streams all sounds through the speakers.
cheers
Hello, i've done a quick search on the forum here for what i'm looking for but all the posts are old and everyone seemed completely clueless at the time so maybe someone will have an answer now.
I have an LG Ally which is running Android 2.22 if I recall correctly. I currently have a setup so that I plug my phone into my stereo through AUX so I can use my phone to play music, and as a GPS when needed. I use the Music system that's built into android phone, but when i'm driving it's very hard to change the songs and still drive. I know they make bluetooth headphone that allow you to pause, skip, etc so there must be a bluetooth remote control that I can pair to my phone so I don't have to take my eyes off the road in order to change a song.
To make this clear, I am NOT looking for an app, nor am I trying to turn my phone into a remote control. I can't stress this enough, because a lot of posts I read while looking into this a lot of people where getting confused and thinking the person wanted to use their phone as a remote and this is not the case.
I would greatly appreciate some help finding something that would work, since i've not seemed to be able to find anything.
Sony Liveview
Check out the Sony Liveview to use as a bluetooth remote for you android based phones.
I would post a link but since i am a new member it will not let me so just google Sony liveview
Sony Smartwatch
Looks like the Sony Liveview is the older version so may want to look at the newer Sony SmartWatch
Maybe a Bluetooth game controller? Probably still need a helper app.
Not yet
I'm looking for the same exact thing, looks like it is such a small market that there are no products to suit the need.
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, but I don't know about LG. Every company use different Bluetooth stack.

So i know this thread is a little old and i realize this doesnt directly help the OP, but could an IR remote, plugged into a USB host like a moto dock or one of those cables that enables the host command through the mini usb port possibly work? I suppose youd still need some sort of software to control the function...
I was thinking about this the other day when i had my phone attached hdmi to the tv, watching netflix. Once the episode was over, id have to get up and pick something else. A remote or a bt mouse might be a decent solution, but a mouse isnt very sexy as youd have to move around and click, as opposed to just using a directional pad or an arrow key.

I was looking for exactly the same thing, for the same purpose.
I wasn't aware of the bluetooth HID protocol until now and hence I was thinking about a different solution:
I thought about using a bluetooth headset for media control as these often include all the media control buttons.
However I only wanted to use the media buttons of the bluetooth headset while I was playing music through the headphone jack in my car.
Therefore I was seeking for a solution to connect the bluetooth headset in a way that its buttons can be used for media control but no music would be streamed to the headset or could be muted.
I think it's possible but some android hacking might be involved.
But that's a thing of the past with this new Satechi Bluetooth Remote, the amazon sales description states that Android devices are supported as long as they support Bluetooth HID. The customer review section also includes a guy who succesfully paired the Satechi with his Galaxy III.
The Satechi was introduced a couple of months ago so maybe other manufacturers will introduce similar and cheaper devices.
If your Android OS supports Bluetooth HID you can also use some Bluetooth HID devices which are advertised to work with iOS only (ie Apple Bluetooth Keyboard).

So this is a pretty old thread but Motorola has a product called the RZ100 which should fit the bill nicely. I use it for my GS3 (I travel quite a bit, so gs3 + HDMI out adapter + this remote = bliss) and it works without issues. The only thing I would like is an app that allows remapping the buttons on it (Ahem Android developpers...)

Thank you so much.
I'm using my Sensation with a Harman Kardon Go+Play and therefore had the same problem as OP.
I read your post and realized that I already own a Logilink BT0019 for other purposes.
I paired it and voilá, the music plays via the Harman Kardon, but the BT0019 media buttons still work.
Only Play/Pause and Next/Previous Song though because the sound level Buttons only change the Headsets volume which means that I do now need two remotes (the BT0019 +the provided Harman Kardon Remote for volume control.) but okay, cool.
I got the BT0019 for 22€, so it's a decently low priced solution too, even if I would not need the Headset for other purposes.
I know it's not bluetooth but the Mele F10 air mouse can do the trick via USB OTG.
I'm looking for a similar solution to control the media playing on an Android tablet for my daughter while on road trips. We have a Nexus 10 currently and will probably be getting a Nexus 7/Kindle Fire HD/Nook HD+ soley for her uses. Are there any android apps that might also achieve this using bluetooth? If I could control the media on the tablet using my Galaxy Nexus phone, that would be even better.
I succesfully managed to get what the OP asked for with an old TomTom bluetooth remote like this one (www ebay com/itm/331084156246) thanks to the informations provided by Norvan Gorgi at norvangorgi blogspot it/2011/10/using-tomtom-bluetooth-remote-with.html (insert dots as required ), and it worked brilliantly with both my SGS3 and my first gen Galaxy Note.
Basically, the remote is recognized as an external keyboard, so all you need is to remap its keys (the tomtom remote has 10 buttons) according to your needs, as per the instruction provided by Norvan in his blog.
Thing is, this stopped working when I installed CyanogenMod 10.2 on both my mobiles, appearently because android 4.3 now does not recognizes the remote as a keyboard anymore, but rather as an 'input device', ie with a nice 'joystick' icon next to it (and my own keyboard definition files won't work anymore).
Anyway, once paired with a 4.3 device the four directional keys and the central 'ok' one will sitll work, so it might still prove useful for someone, even if it does not have proper 'direct' media functions as it would have when set up as a keyboard.
Satechi Remote Control
I recently purchased the Satechi remote control because even though it says its specifically made for iOS, people in the reviews said it works on android and also because it works on 3rd party applications like spotify.
I have two Samsung devices, my phone which is Samsung Galaxy Note II and a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 which is just used to download my spotify playlist for the car. since the Galaxy Player 4.2 only has 512mb of ram its really annoying when i want to change song, very slow and I realised I pay a lot of attention to the device while driving and that isnt good!
so I bought the remote thinking it would help. now the problem is it doesnt connect to android devices because it requires bluetooth HID, according to a few posts found on this website and a few others, I downloaded bluetooth keyboard easy connect and on my phone it worked fine. however on my galaxy player it didnt work. it just keeps TRYING to connect, the device is running 2.3.6.
my question is, is there any other application i can use or anything I can do to use this remote on my mp3 player?
I realize this thread is very old but I found this thread searching for the exact same thing. I have not ordered this yet, but the Amazon reviews seem to suggest this item is exactly what I have been looking for!
Amazon link
Any current suggestions?
Do remotes just work as a HID keyboard or keyboard-mouse combo?
