Hello guys.
I have 2x samsung galaxy tab 2 7" in rear seats for entertainment. My question is this:
Is there any remote like apps where i can control both units in rear via bluetooth. I want to
be able to start movies on both without going back there. Just use my phone. Is this possible?
Regards Morten

For the past few days I have been racking my brain and searching multiple forums for the answer(s) and I finally turn to XDA to hopefully help answer.
The thought: I would love to be able to take my DroidX connect it via HDMI to a 7" monitor in my car to have a nice view of the navigation, access to my music and all of the other items that the phone has to offer (which include data connection and accurate GPS). Sure I can buy an android based headunit or build a carPC but why when I have what all of that has to offer in my pocket? Then I got to thinking, to take it a step further, why not use a 7" touchscreen monitor so that I am not just passing video and sound via the HDMI but that the monitor registers touches to the phone.
WebTop is a great middle of the road solution as it would output the HDMI and allow the user to utilize the phone as the mouse touchpad on the screen. Sadly it is only offered for a select few phones. So on to my questions.
1. Did I some how miss a WebTop project being worked on that would do what I am talking about?
2. Am I wrong in thinking that drivers need to be worked out depending on the phone AND which 7" TS was used?
3. Most, if not all, android phones have video out capabilities, so outputting to the screen would be workable, but is there a better way to get the input hurdle worked out.. not a question just an open suggestion box.
Looks like a few more days or looking would have helped. Customgadz has what I need.
so what did you find? I searched for Customgadz, with no results. did you use hdmi mirroring with Android, or does this work with webtop?
Looks like the australian website has a solution to control an android device with a 4 wire external touchscreen using a module.
search for "customgadz remote touch"
Only pre-order now and the website states they start delivering end of januari
Ok heres the dilemma. - Please can you check my though process here......
Ultimately its a Galaxy Tab vs Nexus 10 question but before you all yawn, for the purpose of this comparison, lets ignore which tablet is better in every respect except sending the screen to a TV in the room.
I'm figuring out a solution for a company with 5 meeting rooms in new premises. They have all their content on Google Mail / Drive and want to present to customers or have internal meetings and look up mails / watch Youtube videos / have video conference meetings on Hangout / Skype. They want to 'upgrade' from a desktop PC linked to a wall mounted TV. They want to buy cheap LCD TVs. The rooms all have a wall mounted power socket and ethernet port and wifi in the room. All directors have Samsung Galaxy 3S phones and all staff are being encouraged to move to this phone.
[I started by buying and testing one of those mini-android HDMI sticks but there are loads of security issues. This is a non starter. The Apps administrator has banned these devices. I can detail the security issue in another post if anyone wants to know.]
I have settled on a tablet solution. Its portable, secure and cheap.
Here is the problem...
If I go with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 then I get Allshare Cast. This means with a cheap dongle available now, I can retrofit a cheap TV and get pretty good screen share.
If I go with Nexus 10 I get Android 4.2 with multiple share, and Miracast but I am worried Miracast is gonna be like WiFi N where its not really available for another year or so. I cant find a dongle that is actually for sale and I saw a review on the Nexus 10 which said that Miracast is not on the device even though the OS support it.
I was wondering if I could get 'Allshare Cast' working on the Nexus as a stopgap until Miracast works?
Alternatively, I get the Galaxy tab now and then upgrade to Jellybean 4.2 in due course?
Last question... Will Samsung Galaxy 3S phone be able to send to Miracast screens via the Allshare Cast function. (will Miracast support All Share cast)?

This Galaxy Tab 10.1 (first gen) does not have Allshare Cast and will not be getting Jellybean. Need to ask your question in the right forum.
I've had my Gtab for a year or so and have the VEGAn -Tab V1 rom installed. I fly RC planes FPV style. Video camera on nose of plane with VTx sending video back to me so I can pilot the plane remotely via a monitor. My ? is can I some how use the Gtab as a monitor? Basically i would feed the video signal into the Gtab from the VRx. I all ready own the Gtab and dont want to buy a dedicated monitor if I can get this to work. Thanks for any help.

it could be done depending on the range the camera can transmit. There are apps that will allow you to connect your tablet or other device to a cell phone to use it as a network camera. They both would have to share the same wireless network, but it can be done as long as the range is there. If the camera on the RC plane connects via WiFi then I don't see why it cannot be done. Google is your friend.
Please keep Questions to the Q&A section, thank you!
Curious to know if you can control an Android tablet or Android phone with one or the other like you would with a phone to the computer? I have a samsung galaxy s4 and a Samsung 12.2 inch pro tablet. Let's say I'm 500 miles away from my tablet while away on a business trip, is it possible to fully control the tablet including playing games on the tablet through my phone or checking on other things through the tablet that is on my home WiFi? Seems hard to find a solution to this one, been searching for days.
Thanks guys
Hello guys,
I bought T95Z plus Allwinner H618 android tv box! It comes with Android 12 installed.
However, the simplest example is Netflix, even the Exxen application has to be operated with a mouse. Can't install the application that is on the TV and my control time with the remote.
There is a rom series similar to the television systems found on televisions. I want to be able to download all kinds of TV applications and manage them with the remote.
There is no chance of using it with that mouse. I can't understand why they are pushing so hard.
Do you know any compatible ROM, firmware? What can be used?
Or do android TV Boxes not work as compatible as televisions?
Some of these boxes come with a little backlit keyboard that has a mouse touchpad dead center of controller. Ive owned a few of these, and initially the build quality wasnt so good, and/or they were prone to failure. Now, however, quality is much better and they are quite handy to use: HERE is an example of one. You may also want to try out Kodi.
