I've never had a G2, but I understand the Quick Remote app from the G2 has quite a few more device options.
Has anyone tried installing the G2 Quick Remote app on the G3? Anyone have any idea if it'll work at all?
I'm planning to grab the apk out of a ROM or LG App Pack from the G2 forums and see if I can install it (if that doesn't work maybe convert it to a user app with rom toolbox?).
Please let us know how this works out! This has been bugging me ever since I switched to the G3. The G2 remote had the ability to learn a device without the remote being available. I was able to operate projectors and such just by pointing and testing. No remote needed! Now its' just TV, Cable box, and Audio...nothing for DVDs, projectors, etc....

I have both the G2 and G3, and both can learn remotes just as you described. You just select customizable remote when adding a remote.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you mean now. There are a lot less options in the new app for some reason.

NP... Yah, if you have the remote it can learn it but the G2 could try and learn a lot more devices without the remote being available. I called LG and they said that the Quick Remote application is different for every device. This seems like a step down in my opinion for an upgraded device. Hopefully someone can figure out how to port the G2 Quick Remote to G3!
I did pull the Quick Remote app from a custom G2 ROM and it did not work. Nothing but force close. That was expected, but worth a try anyway!
I too wound up creating a custom layout and learning my existing remotes. The first time I tried this I didn't see all the button options and thought it was really limited, but now that I've dug into it, I copied the layout of my existing remotes and used the learning feature and it's working just fine for me.
Yes I have done the samething. I now am able to control my entire multimedia rack with my phone. Took some time to setup, but works great.

I have a Sony BluRay player and i lost the remote. how can i set up my quick remote on my G3 if i dont have the original remote?
My G2 had the option for DVD BluRay and many more.
I would recommend the app called "SURE" it's free on the play store and I must say , IT'S AWESOME . Very Quick to set up and works like a charm on my vs985 , I don't even use the quick remote app anymore, this one has a lot more functions , heck even my air conditioner works with it

I would love to be able to use my phone as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my media center (ps3, xbox media center), but cannot find any info about this..
I guess it would be up to the bluetooth drivers, and to my understanding, that was the big issue with bluetooth file transfer on pre 2.x android roms.
So i wonder, is this at all possible?
I am no programmer, so i couldnt possibly do this myself, so the question is merely hypothetical.
It would be nice to use the hero screen as a multitouch trackpad for my htpc with two finger rightclick and scroll as on my macbook but that would probably be asking for too much
I'd say it's possible, but I doubt that those BT profiles are included in the SDK, so it wouldn't be easy at all. It might only be possible on rooted phones.
A multitouch trackpad for a PC wouldn't be hard at all. I had an app like that (I can't remember what it was called, and it certainly wasn't as good as a mac's trackpad) but it worked over WiFi instead of bluetooth. I think it had keyboard as well... hmm..

Gmote does this, although i can't recall whether it supported MT. and i can't get the server to start on my pcs anymore, it is throwing some java errors, but i had it working in the past, and it was kinda decent as a touchpad.

Gmote has similar features, but it does act like generic bluetooth keyboard to be hooked with any bluetooth device, that support bluetooth keyboards. You have to install the server side part, which is not possible for devices like WDTV Live, which I would like to use.
If you want to control your xbox media center you could always search for xbmc-remote on the market.. I'm pretty sure it's for WiFi only though.. :/

As of now I could connect S60 device as mobile to laptop.
but its little bit unstable, let see how it goes with mobile as bt keyboard and mouse as well.
BlueputDroid does this. It is working for me to use my Backflip as a BT keyboard for my Nook Color (though it's a little quirky for me)

Are u looking for a mouse in phone? I did not follow the thread but if u need that u can find different app in android market such as v:mote or ' mouse in blue'
hope this help
Hey all, new here, havnt searched your entire site for this yet, found this thru the goggles so sorry if considered old thread....
Anyone have updated info on this? I want to use htc desire g7 on android 2.2. to type on xbox, anywhere on xbox, like an always on handy dandy controller...
I can only seem to dig up (and been trying for a little while now) info on tethering your xbox TO your 3g android...
or stuff kinda but not really...
thanks nd look forward to learning a ****load of stuff on this site!!
(i love first time posters, so innocent, and polite, and freakin woooorddyy)
"GENERIC bluetooth mouse/keyboard"
Note "generic" word in the initial post. That means no server applications. I suppose it should work like this: I run the app on my android device and then my pc (or whatever) should be able to detect new bluetooth mouse/keyboard. Does such app exist?
I have searched google play and found nothing. Such app would be extremely useful, I would buy it immediately!

I think you mean it requires a client. If you want a service without a server, you are doing it wrong.

I have rooted cyanogenmod 10.1.2 on my galaxy s, but this application does not work.
I get WARNING: BLUETOOTH STACK HAS DIFFERENT IMPLEMENTATION
I am looking for a remote control/keyboard/remote desktop app. I have seen several of them in the market, but I have a specific want and I don't know if any will do this.
I want to be able to sit in the livingroom and control my PC that is attached to my TV. I currently use a wireless keyboard, but the biggest issue with that is the text is too small, and I basically have to walk over to the tv to use it. I know there are settings for large fonts, etc, but I use the PC for several things and that change is impracticable.
So what I am hoping for is to have my G Tab in my lap and be able to see the computer screen and control it using the g tab... BUT also be able to see what I am clicking on and the results of those clicks on the TV/PC.
When I use Remote Desktop, it logs off the TV/monitor connection and only routes the video to what ever device is logged in... I want it on both devices. Maybe like the remote tech support people can do on some PC's.
Can you point me in the right direction for an app like that.

I looked at this, and it does look cool but I already have a wireless keyboard, with a trackball built in. I like the idea, but it is not what I am looking for.
I am looking for a program that when you look at the G Tab you see the computer screen, and when you look at the monitor/tv you see the same thing. Then you can use the tablet as the control. All movement and visuals are repeated on both screens. Like having dual monitors except 1 is the touch screen tablet. I think PhoneMyPC would do it, but I am not sure.
I use PocketCloud VNC. It seems quite smooth. You might not want VNC though, but it would solve your text size issues, I think.
But Pocket Cloud does not show both screens at once, as the OP is desiring, does it?
boufa, there was a thread around here recently about using the g-tab as a second monitor, so I know it works like that; but I don't know how to control the PC from the g-Tab while seeing both screens. I'm using Pocket Cloud as well.
You guys are great, pointed me in the rough direction, and found TeamViewer.
It looks to do exactly what I want it to do. Full clone of the desktop via Wifi or 3g. I was supprized that it was free for non-commercial use.
I tested it and it works good on my HTC Inspire over 3g, I won't have my G Tab until tomorrow night so I cannot test it until then. I'll report back.
I would like to be able to control my parent's mobile phones. They are not good with technology so I'm having issues walking them through how to fix various little things on their phone. They are coming to visit me soon and I'd like to install software on it that allows me to control the hardware from a remote location.
I've been doing remote control for their home PCs for years and it's saved so many headaches because I can remotely deal with it myself without any user interaction. This is what I'm looking for to control their cell phones. I'd prefer the ability to click with a mouse on areas of the screen to emulate touching it with a finger.
Both phones are identical. They are both AT&T Samsung Infuses on Froyo (I could upgrade them to GB but they really don't care. I will if it gives me more options though). Both phones are not rooted and they don't want me doing anything with that because they want their warranty.
Thanks guys!!! ...and yes I did a search there's nothing new on the topics in a while and most speak of apps that require root.
just putting this out there, any app that allows a remote user to control hardware would HAVE to have root access by its nature. Otherwise, any of your remote actions wouldnt actually do anything.

if that's the case then what's my best bet to get this done? Anotherwords what's the best remote software that doesn't require root and what would it allow me to do remotely???

Access to basic settings, really simple stuff like turn on/off wifi/GPS/etc
Not really anything useful.

AirDroid allows users to enter passcode on web.airdroid.com, so I was confused.
You can do it without rooting now, try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, it allows you view and control your android phones from a PC. works on S2 with Jelly Bean.

work with Froyo? Main use is to control my parent's phone (Samsung Infuse) and since they're not tech savvy is it easy to setup remotely?
yes, event works with Eclair, Froyo is fully supported.
I agree with the VMLite VNC server option , works decently for me.
For Samsung phones, you can also look for TeamViewer Quick Support on the Play Store.
If the phone has an IR blaster is this possible?

Theres an app called gmote in the play store, to control your computer, it works with windows and mac .
Just make sure your Pro doesn't have a retina. The Retina ones don't support IR unless you get an external receiever.
You could give this app a try

Neither of the two apps utilize the IR remote. I'm looking for one that will allow that. Seeing as the phone just came out, maybe one will show up over time.

Yes, this is possible. You simply use the TV app that came preloaded on your HTC One.
While the buttons aren't labeled exactly the same, you can make it work just fine by configuring a custom remote. Just click through the service provider selection screen, answering however you like even if you don't have service, though I suggest being as accurate as possible in case you want to check listings at say, your friend's house for a football game.
Personally, I configured all applicable buttons: both direction and volume, and enter/play/pause/select, etc. I didn't want to have to hunt for buttons, so it seems easier to program them all, even though another button will do the same thing.
I'm hoping someone will make (or there already is) a custom IR blaster app that will allow us to share profiles for some of the more complicated devices, or HTC will add a "Custom Remote Profile Sharing" feature. This way, you won't need an original remote to copy signals from, and you won't need to use a more root-intensive app if you wanted to copy your configuration to another device or owner.
Please click thanks if I answered your question.
I was use Samsung WatchON TV (universal IR Remote app)
before with my N9005.
It was very easy to use I can add more TV by adding a new Room.
When I try to do the same with Peel Smart Remote App that built-in in my P601.
I can't find how to add more room?
(If I try to add more device there will show only another device but I can't add more TV)
I try to googling around ... reading FAQ , Help , Instruction in Peel & Google website.
No more information about this.
I try to install Samsung WatchOn TV app to my P601 but It say "Your device is not support!!!
If you suggest me another free universal IR remote app it would be great.

Simply click on the TV icon (the 3 boxes) to add a new room (which means another tv). So, also on the device list, don't add here a device but a room.
PS. If it was this point then you know why I didn't like this app - it is very cryptical and many functions are hidden somewhere.
PPS. I self have also a question: Can I see somewhere the whole tv-gids? I mean, I didn't want to see selected programs (which is nice done) but what program, at what time in which channel... a whole overview.

You can contact the creators of the app and ask them. They are very responsive. They also add new devices all the time, and at the request of users.

Second, third, forth, etc.... this recommendation for Smart Remote - by far the best I've tried (I've tried / checked out, I think, all of the compatible ones... that was a while ago though so they may have improved, but so has Smart Remote )
I use ir blaster 2.0 on my devices and never had any issues
