Hi
I have tried searching the net, here, and everywhere else.
I am unsure if I am even searching using the right terminology.
I have a A501 and a SGSIII.
I want to mount the Tablet in my car and then have the ability to remotely (Bluetooth preferable, but if I have do it WIFI that is ok.) control my phone, which may be in my pocket or in my bag.
So basically have the tablet display my phone screen.
Be able to stream the music from there.
Use Data (Maps and other Internet based things.)
So, is it possible?
I know there are "Mimic" head units available.
This is something similar, but would prefer it not to be handled via a cable, and just use my current tablet as the external screen for the mobile phone.
Regards

Hi,
I am looking at installing a home automation system in a clients house using a Bitwise controller. I was thinking about installing android tablets as an in-wall solution via WiFi rather than expensive light switches (Rako, Lutron, etc.) and multi-room controllers, as you seem to be able to pick up 7" tablets quite cheap. Stairs will still have standard switches.
I am aware of systems such as Crestron and AMX (we already install AMX) but I think there is a cheaper way to achieve this.
I understand they aren't going to be the best, but all they will be doing is running a Bitwise GUI designed for android tablets, so very little load.
I will have to make various changes to settings such as auto sleep times, wake up screens, etc. which I will address in a separate post. What I was looking for from the thread was to see how I can harness the voice control, which brings two questions.
The first is what is the typical range of the mic built in to the tablets and is there any way to enhance this?
The second is whether there is an app that provides voice control to something like the Bitwise BC1 controller, or am I trying to achieve something that isn't particularly easy?
I would be grateful for any guidance.

Hi,
Fairly new here so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place. I have a tablet hooked up in my car and use it as my GPS and audio system. Works quite well, not to sound like I'm showing off, but yeah... =P
I'm looking to install a media center in my home, using my desktop as a server, I'd like to stream and possibly back up my data throughout my house (to my phones and laptop). I also want my tablet to automatically sync movies and audio when parked in the garage. Wifi coverage is not an issue. What I do need is security (prevention from unauthorized access) and automatic syncing capabilities..
Can anyone point me in the right direction. I'd like to develop an app of my own but with little development experience not entirely sure whether it's possible or not.
Hi fellow android friends,
I have an older car with a big radio slot. I thought about integrating an android tablet there and connect it to the car stereo, but I have some questions if some features would be possible.
Basically I want to pair my phone to the tablet via bluetooth to mainly stream music to it. But I also want navigation (Google Maps) which I could simply use by creating a hotspot from my phone automatically when it's connected via bluetooth to the tablet. Also I want Call integration. So that I can start, answer and end calls I get on my phone from my tablet. I would set up a microphone in the car for better quality.
Is this possible? If so, how? With specific apps? Or flashing Android Auto somehow to the tablet?
Hello! First sorry for my poor language.
Polish android forums can tell me only stupid ideas, these people can't use brains.
I want to open discussion about mounting smartphone with Android to car. Important things: considered connect charger(i have car electric items and idea how to connect and hide wiring), make car recorder(AutoGuard app), make audio source(bluetooth connected for car radio - without wiring), sometimes use Torque app(i have OBD 2 mini ELM adapter).
I have some old phone - Samsung SM-G350. Car is passat b5, but its not important.
My samsung is rooted, have cyanogenmod 11 on android 4.4.4. I'm searching ideas for reaction in my telephone when i turn on my engine. For example - if i turn engine on, car charger is working and callphone battery is loading. I want to in this moment run AutoGuard and start recording, or screen is displaying always and is unlocked.
Have some ideas? Maybe change android files? Some scripts? Help me, i need to good advices.
You need the Android Auto for that, old cars don't usually have it.
To have something mounted, your best option is to get an Android Auto receiver, but you'll have to do the research with your car info and stuff like that. You could also just get a simple phone mount for pretty cheap on an online store like Amazon.
With Tasker, possibly, you might be able to use that root capability to its potential by setting up some automation stuff that opens apps once the phone detects power input (once it is plugged in).
Android Auto is a good option, but I don't think that it runs on Android 4.4.4. You'll have to get something newer.
(I also just realized that this is a really old thread that people are responding to now. )
So I have a tablet (with data) that I use in my car as a media hub connected via Bluetooth using this device. Now, one of the problems I've run into with this setup is that I can not answer phone calls because my tablet is paired to the bluetooth and my phone isn't. So, I was wondering if there is an app that allows handing off/transferring phone calls from an Android phone to an Android tablet? The only thing I've discovered is that Samsung has this built into their phones/tablets via an called SideSync. For that reason, I've considering switching my phone and tablet to Samsung version, but would really prefer not to do that if I don't have to. I also do not want to get a new number and forward my calls to it when driving.
