Hey guys,
Looking at getting a new head unit for my truck, and I saw that Pioneer had some that used Android Media Control through the USB, and I just wondered if anyone had used it and knew how well it worked.
I just had some questions like does it recognize playlists and stuff like that. Especially if I'm using something like doubleTwist to sync my music to my phone.
Or am I just better off using bluetooth?

The app radio and app radio 2 look pretty good when connected to HTC sense phones.

I don't mean the App Radio 2, those are expensive.
I'm just talking about their usb interface. I'm wondering if it'll recognize playlists and stuff from non-OEM music players, or if it just uses the file system to play music. I always hated using it that way, because you could never organize your music, unless you put everything into separate folders. And that's a pain in the @$$.
Here is the deck that I'm looking at:
Pioneer FH-X700BT
Bump.
Anyone got any experiences with newer Pioneer, Android, and how the well the deck works over USB?

App radio 2 is bad ass. Picked it up at Best Buy for $250 brand new. Since Pioneer is pushing out the 3 now, the 2 is hard to find for a deal but I have seen them out there. Full HDMI mirroring with touch imput. Cant beat it.
I've got a AVH-P1400DVD and it used to work like a usb drive. It also read all the files, so any ringtones or sounds would be thrown in the mix. I've heard the newer models have better Android support, but I own an iPod just for the car. Unfortunately, nobody has mastered Apple's integration... yet.
App radio also supports iPhone/iPod. Check out appradioforums.com

Hey, I've seen this question asked here and there but I can't get a straight answer, especially one that specifically applies to my 3VO.
SO--I've a bluetooth headset (Samsung HM1000) and a 3VO. Can I stream music, audio from movie tracks, etc. to my headset? I've heard a lot about A2DP, and since the headset packaging doesn't mention that I'm guessing that's not a feature. Am I SoL? Any apps or root tricks to fix this?
I would definitely have paid more for a legit headset if I'd even considered that this would be a problem (my fault for assuming!).
Thanks in advance!
I stream just fine to my Motorola S9 HD and Motorola S10 HD headsets.

...those are both A2DP so it's unclear to me whether your situation sheds light on mine, as my HM1000 is (I don't believe) A2DP.
no A2DP, no streamy to your headset..
yes, you are sol...
****. Kthanks.
Try an app called bt mono in the market. Might work for you.

Love the S9 HDs I will replace mine if they ever break with another set. I tried the new s10 series and they are not comfortable for me.

The s10 HD headsets sound like crap compared to the s9 HD.

They didn't sound good when I had them on, but I chalked that up to the fact that they fit SO horribly and uncomfortably that they just werent sitting in my ears properly. never had that issue with the S9-HD's
Motorola really dropped the ball on those, here is hoping there next upgrade is worth it. as of right now if my s9's die I can still find them without too much trouble at a good price.
not sure how much longer that is going to be an option though.
is there a combo type BT headset that can stream music but also be used to talk when a call comes in???????
oops. I think I didnt research this first.....i guess this one does both....SORRY.

.....S9-HD!!!!
The plantronics backbeat 903 are great for music. The quality is awesome. The call quality is only good when you have a very quiet background because the mic stinks.

I have a rooted Viper 3D and I just bought the motorola S10-hd........how do i sync bluetooth. I press the BT button but nothing happens. Do I have to download anything else from the market????
Quick question about this rom or the 3D. I'm running MeanRom 2.7 and trying to stream pandora or slacker to this bluetooth headset while working around the house. Have full wifi and the bluetooth is studdering while streaming....
I can listen to anything I have on my 3d sd card and no studder but it studders while streaming pandora and slacker.
Anyone know why and if theres any fix?
I'm pretty sure it's not the rom, just something with bluetooth and streaming audio.
I disconnect my bluetooth lg and pandroa and slacker stream perfect. I then can turn bleutooth back on and listen to music and audio on my bluetooth without a problem. It's just when I stream....any clues?
I had the Blue Ant Q2 headset and I was able to able to stream music to it. It also read off my text messages to me.
Can someone please test for me? Get your Bluetooth headset and attempt to stream Pandora or slacker radio to your 3d? On 3g and WiFi please....
There are apps for that.. just search bluetooth in play store if you have a mono bluetooth it will make your music play through it. I've done it before.

So I have a couple of friends who are real apple fan boys and yesterday they kept on braggin while sending photos and videos from their phones over to their TV using Apple TV.
Do we have a hack/mod/app that would allow me to make my Android Device connect to it and toss pictures up on the screen? I wanted to do the of Android Peeing on the Apple.
Thanks guys!
Buy one of these
Edit: I think doubleTwist will let you connect to an Apple TV. Just download that.
You can try AppleTV Media from the Play store, its the best way to control and share content with your AppleTV from an Android device. I have 2 AppleTV's at home and it works flawlessly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS56YXBwb3R2YXBwbGUiXQ..
Definitely worth a try.
Using media share u can use DLNA compatible devices, I've used my ps3. Works well but I prefer hdmi as the quality is better. Hookup ur phone via hdmi and get 1080p and 5.1 audio if ur videos are encoded with it...ask if their iCrap can do that.
Also love hooking up via hdmi and using my ps3 controller for games, especially onlive. Do that and ur apple friends will be selling their junk on eBay.

Please tell me what rom and the steps you followed to get the evolte to play nice with the sixaxis controller. I have been going crazy for 3 days trying to get this bastard to work! Please PM me or something, It will be very appreciated :laugh:
Haha! Thank you guys!
If you do this, have another device taking video of the footage of your friends' reaction to the android peeing on apple footage on their nice little AppleTV. Optional: wash, rinse, repeat for android awesomeness inception.

Hello!
I've stop using my Atrix since about 3 months ago, so I'm no longer in the game.
Any suggestions to what ROM should be used if one wanted to use XBMC only?
The phone will be constantly plugged in and will always have power. It would be great if the ROM supported video mirroring with hd playback and good decoding.
Any suggestions?
I've used it on both CM7 and CM10. Personally, I didn't notice a difference. I did not try playing anything as I've no media on my phone, but was able to load navi-x and stream stuff fine. It was slow, but I think that was due to it being in beta.
I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing "Audio over HDMI" option in CM7... It's nice if you have a home theater and want sound coming from speaker system and not just the TV.
Edit: As a side note, it was a pain to work with the interface on such a small screen. Have you considered something like raspberry pi and selling/donating the Atrix?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
well, I have considered selling it, but the digitizer has a dead stripe, so the phone doesn't really have any value. The raspberry pi is the next logical step if this doesn't work out!
When I retire my Atrix, I will most likely turn it into a pseudo laptop since I bought a lapdock. They're pretty cheap, have you considered that alternative?

I have a lapdock from the states, but I find it basically useless, since I haven't gotten swedish keyboard layout to work on it.

I have exactly the same scenario. I have an Atrix , unrooted, but the screen no longer works and its basically redundant. I have the smart dock and ideally would like too use it as a dedicated media player with xBMC and a remote, leaving it connected to my TV at all times.
Would appreciate it if you could share any success you have in setting this up.
Thanks!
any progress?
I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my atrix.
Have you had any success using yours as an xbmc machine or did you scrap it for a pi?
I would also like to make my atrix into a dedicated XBMC box. I have a HD dock and would like to use it with the remote. I attempted to install the newly released xbmc for android on a gingerbread rom (Neutrino). I got a message that xbmc is not compatible with my device. I assume that it can work with an ics or jb rom. It works on my galaxy nexus. Any suggestions on which one would have the best support for hdmi output and hd dock?
I have CM10 Epinter JB and xbmc works on my phone. I have to open my player first and then xbmc app.

So I've been playing with the IR blaster on my new S4... and I have to say it is priceless to see the expressions on peoples faces when I use my phone to control almost every TV in range. LG TV's seem to be the most responsive FYI.
Plus it is a nice little tool to troll people with
Anybody else found any other uses for it yet? I'm waiting for some custom IR apps to start popping up here and having some real fun.

Lol, I plan on messing with some co-workers during production meetings next week with TV in our conference room.
Love being able to use the S4 for channel surfing too as it is much faster than my slow direct tv box.
I caved and bought the "Smart remote for Galaxy S4" but haven't played with it too much yet. Seems to have alot of function available. Gonna mess with it more this weekend.
Maybe it's my tv, but do you have to point the blaster directly at the TV in order to get it to work?
I love the IR feature. But I found the range and angle to be very lacking. The IR beam seems like its only like 25° degrees... So you have to be right on with your aim. It's a little annoying I wish they would have used a better lens for the IR emitter.

Mine picked up my Sony Bravia and Samsung TVs very easily. But I had to try a few times and aim very directly for my Direct TV boxes. After paired though they seemed very responsive.

It's seems to work fairly better after some use, but I usually have to point it directly at my TV in order for it to work. Wonder if it's just my specific model TV.
What app do yall use for this? The paid IR blaster app?
I just use the watchon app, works fairly well for my needs. Haven't explored other apps yet though

It does, at least my uverse does. Just scroll down.
I tried the watchon app and it seems to work well with my Samsung tv and Directv. I have an audio receiver that I use for sound. Has anyone figured out how to use the volume for one device while the channel operates another? My Directv remote does it. Any of the pay apps do this?
I got all my TVs working decent enough, though ones that have HD converter boxes don't get a guide button. There's a menu button but that only brings up useless options, not the guide itself. If it's a TV with just the digital converter box there's a guide button that works fine, haven't quite figured out how to fix that yet.

That smart remote in the play store looks a lot better than the remote in watch on. I need to decide if it's worth $10 or not.

Hold down the Volume rocker (on the screen, not on the phone) and a separate pop up will come up. I have an audio unit also that separately controls my sound. It'll bring up a thing to insert it. Strange that they would put it there, and not in the settings but...whatever it works... ya know?
Downloaded smart remote and 100 times better than watchon range seems better as well

Awesome but I just tried it and don't get the pop-up. I added my tv, added the directtv, then added my av system. I went to the remote where everything works but the volume. It tried to work the tv volume that is not used. Long pressing it does nothing. Did I miss something?

Looking forward to getting the phone and using this! Has anyone found a way to use it with the xbox 360 or is it impossible?
Simple and easy just kinda lost on what to get for streaming music to my "old" pioneer deck in my vehicle. I say old, but its about 4 years old and i might just replace it when money becomes more available. I'm trying to decide in the mean time best connection method is A2DP dongle/APT-X reciever or gold plated heavy duty 3.5 cord. I'm currently using GoneMad on my S4 and just want as best sound possible out of the whole setup. Thoughts anyone as to what is "better" to use? TIA
I would go for a nice 3.5 stereo cable. There have been so many issue with the S4 and Bluetooth, you want something that will work and work no matter what. If you're rooted, I also highly recommend installing Viper4Android. It takes the audio signal and routes it though its own DAC.......which is better than most smart phones.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking bout V4A although doing it in the past on my dinc2 was a lil confusing n a lot of extra IRS files to put in, but yeah it worked. Easier to set up on the S4 or about the same ? Yeah I had root the night I bought this phone n kept the mdk loader by stopping the update in the store.
