I hope this is not a repeat question as i didn't find a topic yet regarding it. I saw as part of the features of this unit an optical track pad. Anyone got it working? I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but i can't find any settings for it. I'm using the wifi 5.0 version. Thanks

Where did you see this?
Here. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_wifi_5_0-3838.php
Look at the features under Display - Multitouch. It says optical trackpad

Thats hilarious...... There is no optical trackpad built into the galaxy player. Not the usa version.
There are apps that allow you to use any touch screen device as a trackpad for your pc, plus they usually have a built in keyboard tonuse also.
but only via wifi and you have to run their app on the pc.
Perfect for htpc but anything else its kind dumb.
Funny to install it on a coworkers computer and mess with his mouse and keyboard but thats about it
Apple devices have had these apps for years and they do work butmreally only htpc pc will benefit.
IS there any way to use the HTC One as a remote for my Nikon D7100? I know I've got an IR blaster, Bluetooth, esc... But I'm not sure if there is any way to go about using it as a remote shutter activator. My camera does not have Bluetooth, however it does have to inferred receivers.
Let me know if you guys have any idea.
Thanks

sure, you just need to make a app for that.
Moved to Q&A
Ir blaster on the ONE is kinda pointless.

you can
not true. using it with my D7000 and it works just fine. you just have to create a new remote then when it says choose tv brand you select unkown manufacturer and then you go an manually teach the phone what you want to do. now,providing that you already have a remote compatible with your camera you just pres the remote button and set it to whatever button from the remote you want. there are 26 of them so there are plenty :laugh: i set mine to the OK one because i think it is the easyest one to hit. enjoy!
This app looks interesting for stuff like that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy2&hl=en but I wasn't (yet) aware you could train the built-in remote from HTC as described in the above post.
shameless plug
Shameless plug here, but I put together an app that does exactly this
There are a few on the play store, but search for "SLR Camera IR Remote" for mine (been a long time member here, but been lurking a lot.. so I don't have enough posts to post external links).
I wish the remote app was a bit simpler. Having to bounce all over to control my tv and dvr is rather annoying...
It should just need an update to add the capability to recognize other things such as cameras that have IR sensors (personally I didn't know such a thing existed)
The app needs a squeeze to put as much control as possible into one screen so you don't have to bounce back and forth. A toggle somewhere to swap between as well. Won't happen unless someone makes an app or HTC decides to see their folly.
Still, it's unique, so it's nice to use when I don't feel like gettin up for the actual remote lol.

Glad I discovered this app! I was able to program my TV and A/V receiver no problem. I was able to add a 'Microsoft Steaming Cable Box' of some sort which kind of works for some commands (guide, scroll, ok, etc.) but not all commands. Is there way I can delete this and locate/add an actual Xbox to my devices? It would be nice to get the play/pause, skip & colored buttons to function properly too. I did some searching but can't seem to come up with any info on this.
Thanks for the help!

I have Smartglass already & it doesn't do what I need it to do. I want to know how to get WatchOn to work. I think I've got most of the buttons working now, just not the four colored buttons.

What I did was told the app during setup that I used a set top box for TV rather than the TV itself. Then it will show a half dozen or so popular options. On the bottom is button to show more. Click that and the in the text field search for Microsoft. When it shows that as an option, click it. Pretty much everything will work including skip buttons on recorded programs and the guide and everything. Almost a perfect solution. It doesn't seem to want to allow you to power the device on/off as well as a few other functions but for the most par the popular options work.
WatchOn is a 1/2 assed app. It is beta at best. There is no Xbox or Windows Media Center support. If you program more then 1 room the secondary rooms guides stop working. Its a great idea but horrible execution.

I feel like a fair amount of effort was put into this app to just abandon it. I mean, it's SO close to being something great that it couldn't require that much more effort to polish it further. The possibilities are limitless. I was trying to get a Kenwood A/V receiver to match up to the code for my Kenwood nav unit in my truck with no luck. I was hoping that I could have another 'room' set up with any random TV and then a Kenwood receiver so that I could do the most basic controls from my phone. Volume, play, pause & skip. I have steering wheel controls so it's not something I would likely use often if at all but it would be cool to have. The ability to add a 'game system' as a device though would go a long ways in most people's systems. We have 4 Xbox 360's throughout our home to stream everything from recorded TV programs, downloaded, TV, movies & other video so for us our 360's are the center piece of our home entertainment. Not being able to add the most important device to control fully is a real damper on using this app for us.

Secondary room guides work for me. Im betting Watchon not being able to work with 360 is because of microsoft not the app. Hell no one can release a wireless gamepad for the xbox, the wireless capabilities are exclusively for their controllers. Theyre stingy like that.

Not true. I've got 4 Harmony Logitech Universal remotes that I've used for years that control the 360's perfectly in every way.

It's just IR. I have a Harmony 300 that works with it great.
Yeah they probably licensed logitech to use their stuff. Like I said though try finding a mad catz or another aftermarket brand wireless 360 controller. Theyre stingy like that.

I agree. I actually really like the app if they would just put half the effort logitech has into making it work with nearly every device. Then add some customizable buttons and you would have a perfect app.

Thanks, I got it mostly working. I thought I had looked in every menu for Microsoft, but I must have missed the settop setup or something. It still won't let me type in numbers greater than 999, but i guess it is better than nothing. And you saw the second page of buttons too, right? If not there is a second page that does have the colored buttons. But I don't know if they work.
Actually, to be honest, I would pay for content discovery with my media center. Just no one will make an app like watchon for media center. At least Not that I have found.

So I'm trying to figure out how I can use my DNLA on my xbox and still be able to browse my phone. Because when you press the button to all share onto your xbox which appears onto theTV, it seems to lock your phone to where it's frozen on the video screen on the phone itself . Is there any way or any app that allows me to watch the movie while being able to use my phone still?
or am I just livin' a pipe dream

Have you tried imediashare? Works with a ps3....

I'm trying to use my broken screen'ed Nexus 4 as a XBMC unit. Trouble is, its a bit of a pain to do anything on it because of the screen being broken (touch screen 25% of the area works).
So basically I need some software which allows me to connect from a "client" (ie other phone/tab) to control it. I know i can use Yatse or any of the other XBMC remotes once i'm running XBMC but there are times where i need to do other stuff on it.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried Tablet remote which does some of the things. But it only really has functionality of a keyboard arrow keys ther than touch/mouse control. Also I know there is another app which seems pretty useful but it has been open sourced called Screen Standby which apparently has a remote control aspect but since its a pay for app that hasn't been updated for nearly a year i'm reluctant to purchase.
anyway. thanks in advance.
