Im at the work, and dont want to be holding the phone when doing something. Can I stream the screen to PC?
Not 100% sure if I know what you're asking, but Airdroid might be the thing for you. It lets you perform a variety of functions on your phone remotely from your computer (it doesn't, however, show you exactly what is on your phone's screen; it has its own interface).

Yeah, Ive read about that program, but thats not what I want. I want it like a remote desktop.
Similar to teamviewer, but instead of controlling PC-PC I want the same with Android-PC.
And I need the screen to be visible =)

Anyone have this app or use it? Does the GPS location thing always need to be turned on? Does it waste battery?
Search for an app called lookout on the android marketplace, your welcome

I just installed Android Lost. It's free and it's great. It lets you do a lot of stuff, like make your phone sound a police siren in case you lost it somewhere in your house, lock the phone, give you the GPS coordinates, and take pictures and send it to your email, all from the web interface. It doesn't use any battery life either.
sounds good
Thanks. I may have to try one of these because the Total Protection app apparently cannot find my phones location worth a damn. Which location/security app uses the least battery?

Yeah, that's my only concern. Lookout is for sure reputable (been around longer, been recommended more, been on the news for Pete's sake lol) and the free version has all the features you really need, while the paid version adds remote lock and remote wipe capabilities

I'm wondering how well it plays with our Evos. There is also an android app released for it.
Yep we sell em at best buy all the time and I was able to snag one with accomedations through my job. Its amazing how easy it works and you can stream right off your hard drive to your phone. Just turn it on, creates its own hotspot and you connect to it. Its great.

that's great, the comments I've been reading on Amazon are generally negative, they all complain how the iOS app is nothing but a giant alphabetical list of all the music and other media, not divided into albums or artists etc.
How good is the Android app? I'm mainly interested in stock music and video apps on Evo, can they connect to this drive seamlessly and fluently? Does it appear like a network server to them?
well download the app and get a work around it. The interface isn't as clean as I'd like, but it gets the job done. You actually turn it on and then connect to it through your networks settings like your connecting to a network. With most things it'll download for a second to stream but then play right off the hard drive.

Saw it the other day and realized that with real use, the battery is probably going to be toast in under 3 hours....
i just got one of these. the battery lasts pretty well so far. the best thing about it by miles though is that it's built from a tiny linux server running on an omap3 cpu.
you know what that means right?
i'll give you a clue.
user: root
pass: goflex
I had one of these for exactly one day. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would not. At the time I was using an Acer tablet that had a USB port, so I didnt really need it anyway.
But I will say that it worked horribly for me.

You're welcome. They are just cool, that's all. I truly can see the whole "CM9" and "Profiles" coming in handy! I would stick one in my truck and tap it every time I got in it, to set my phone to loud. lol
I can think of a few things to do with NFC tags, just need to get around to ordering a few.
Anyone have any recommendations on what to get? I'm assuming the larger capacity tags are good, esp for writing complex tasks.
I think NFC tags are rather useless. I keep wanting to use them but can't think of a useful way of using them. If want to put my phone on silent, I'll just use the volume rocker thank you very much. Could someone even tell me what complex task can't be done with just a few strokes?

I have 4 NFC tags.
1) For buddies that visit me frequently to launch Foursquare and check-in to my place quickly
2) A simple Normal to Silent profile toggle. Comes in handy when my daughter is napping. And is much quicker to use since I don't even have to unlock my phone to use it.
3) A switch that toggles a Do Not Disturb profile for bedtime. (I would not be able to toggle this easily without an NFC tag. I would have to set it to a specific time each day. Which is lame)
4) A switch at work that will put my phone into Vibrate mode and launch a ticketing website that I use for work. Then when tapped before leaving it puts my phone back into a Normal profile and sends a text to my wife telling her I'm on my way home. I keep this one by my light switch and turn my light on/off with phone in hand.
NFC tags aren't useful for everyone. But it's definitely helped me automate some of the more mundane and annoying tasks I do every day. And saves me a bunch of time doing them.
I think I need to get some of these...
I just got a pack of them and idk how i was able to live without them. One in the car that toggles betwin bluetooth on and wifi off abd it launches the music player. Other on my bed that turns all volumes down and my alarm sound up. They are nice to play with.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
1st: to make them more useful I used the mod to allow their use during screen off and lock. If I had to turn on the phone and unlock it NFC would be much less useful.
2nd: I don't have any complicated tags. The main one I use turns off wifi and toggles Bluetooth, and starts Multiplayer. So after I start driving I just have to touch the phone to the dash and my music wirelessly starts.
Its not complicated but it is much better than having to turn on the phone, unlock it, scroll to my widget and turn on Bluetooth. I never have to look down off the road.

Why does it have to be a complicated task? Why not just tap your phone to an NFC tag to mute it? or Pop open Pandora when you sit at your desk at work?
Yes, tasks are simple, but they are also repetitive in a lot of cases. Why not have the phone do it for you?

Tags For Droid. They're the best bang for the buck. You get the largest storage size I've seen at 1KB and a free keychain tag. And they cost the same as others of equal quantities with much less storage, that I've seen on Amazon.

I guess one of the benefits would be to hook your phone up to it at work and pretend to be working on the computer while you are actually texting or playing poker. I dunno.
i used to be able to do something similar over bluetooth or wifi a few years back, but i have yet to find the program i used, and i will assume you would need to be rooted. its a cool idea in many ways, but its use i feel is more of a cool or sneaky factor.
Yeah, I am hard pressed to find a really good reason to buy one. Being cool is a good reason though.

But then you have to change your number to a GV number, and doing that would be problematic for me. Am I right in thinking this?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Change what number? Your tablet isn't a phone. It links to your GMail account, and you can create a new phone number that can ring your devices on making a new account. If you mean texting people with your actual phone number then yea that might be an issue, as it shows on their phone as your GV number.
Wouldn't it use a new phone number for the texts?
