I want to control the Media Player on my Nexus One from my PC. This is exactly the opposite of what is done by GMote. This will let me keep my Nexus One connected with speakers from my PC and still play songs on it. Searched a while in Google and XDA, but couldn't find one.

Bump.
Im looking for something along the same lines but to remote control an android tablet.
I am looking for one too.
I want to connect my Android Mobile to my Sound System, and would like to control media playback and volume from my PC.
Please help.

Purchased Phantom music control but it just allows you to control music from the lock screen, it didn't work on my GS2 and was very laggy
Looking for something like this as well. We have speakers built into our ceiling in our house and use my evo to play music all the time, being able to control the evo from far away w/ a laptop or another android phone would be awesome.
I'm looking for something like this too, any ideas?
some digging here, but i'm also looking for something like this... 2 years later, maybe someone find out something!

Hi,
Im in desperate need of some sort of app that allows my to control the music on my galaxy tab via my phone (nexus S) via Bluetooth. I listen to all my music on my tab which is packed away in my bag when travelling and rather than having to take the tab out each time to change track, does any one know of a App which i can use to skip pause and select music via my phones Bluetooth?!
I'm sure im not the only one who would benefit from this app
Thanks in advance!
I take it there is no such thing
Maybe something like this?

“KENWOOD Music Control” is free app for Music control. I like this app as it works great with my Kenwood head unit via Bluetooth.
When my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth, phone functions all work correctly, as well as music. However the only player that will stream is the system music. How would I get other players to work? Please let me know any additional information needed.

How about MixZing?
Hi. I have an Lg Optimus One (P500)with Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 (rooted).
I installed MixZing 3.7 and it works perfectly on my Parrot MKi9000 kit. It is the player that starts by default when I choose the "Audio Bluetooth" option on the kit.
All keys work perfectly as well (Prev./Next/Play/Pause.
Hope it helped.
Cheers.
What I would like is to use any media player, not pick one that works. Is there a settings or "fix" app to do this?

Hi All,
I have a Bluetooth car Kit (parrot mki9100) that i play music through, using the default ICS Music app. But the problem is that it doesn't displaying what's currently playing. I Thought this might just be a problem with the kit, but it works fine when connected to an I-Phone, and displays whats currently playing.
My question is, is this a problem with the music app or will it be my Kit?
Many Thanks
Ok. This happens to me too, but have an explain.
iPhone Only supports BT audio devices. It displays the music, everything. But - in the Android you cannot see it. In my Sony MEX-BT3790U it only shows BTA and battery, operator signal, etc.
You never can see the music in bluetooth audio devices using Android!

Hello Members
I've a bluetooth Alpine car stereo, and when I connect my XZU the default music player is the Walkman app, if I pause the app and close it then try and use Google Music Player app, I get no sound through the car stereo.
I've worked out that apparently the Sony Walkman app takes possession of the Bluetooth sound connection as default, and that this is showing up in the Smartconnect app under the 'device' section under 'application'.
So, how can I change the default application that opens in the Smartconnect app to Google Music play, when I connect to my car stereo?
Any help would be great, thanks
Regards
Livio

SmartConnect/events then edit the one linked with your car stereo. Haven't tried it myself so don't know it you can change the default, but I have it so it plays PowerAmp on car connection, so should work.

Thanks SpyderTracks, if I add an 'Event' to the 'Alpine car stereo' device to allow Google Music Player to start, then what I get is, on connecting to the car stereo the Walkman app will open in the notification bar, but I'll have to close it first and then open the Google Music Player app.
Smartconnect should really just allow me simply to change the default startup 'Applications' rather than having to add additional events.
Has anyone got any ideas if the primary Application for a device in Smartconnect can be altered?
I really can't understand how, or why it's having to work in this way, and why Smartconnect didn't ask me first what Application I wanted to start, when I first made the Bluetooth pairing to the Alpine Car stereo.
This option should have been a choice that I make.

Just worth a try, try adding a new action when you're next in the car and deleting the existing one.

i can't get this working. i've paired my bluetooth earphones and all headset controls (even if in google music) work through that damn walkman app.
i looked in events and see nothing about stopping that app taking default control of inputs.
i tried to freeze the app and it did nothing.
i listen to audio courses on my phone on the way in to work and need to be able to press pause. this phone can't do that unless the screen is on in front of me the whole time which is going to kill my battery

ok, froze smart connect and walkman and seems to be better, except oddly the pause button doesn't work as it did before
and what i've done above stops the smartwatch connecting.
any way to have both?
SpyderTracks thanks for the suggestion, and I did think of trying that.
But when I initially connected the car stereo up to the phone the first time, it never gave me the option to setup a new Smartconnect hardware action for the stereo's connection, it made that wrong decision for me.
So, because we need to find out if either the Smartconnect software can either be controlled fully, or if it can be deactivated without effecting the SmartWatch 2 functions, I've email Sony for help also. I think that all bluetooth connect 'Application' decisions in Smartconnect software should be confirmed, and all Sony bluetooth hardware specific items should be automatic.
Or, that the Smartconnect software should only be relevant to Sony NFC Bluetooth, and WIFi products, and nothing else.
Hope your listening Sony!

Thanks for the info and your time on this... I hope Sony respond. It seems short sighted to lock such a good app to link to Sony apps only... Keep us posted please :sly:

Just an update,...
Sony never responded to my email, I ended up doing a Web chat, which got me nowhere so I ended calling them with no success.
I have read a few forum posts regarding this type of problem from a while back, people were experiencing problems of the Alpine head unit showing BT A Pause' when using some apps, while other apps on there phones (of the time) worked with no problems.
I think this problem not so much a Sony problem, as it is, how Google Music Player is interacting within the Bluetooth connection of the phone, and the way the Alpine Bluetooth car head unit is understanding the connection.
There was a known issue with Alpine BT head units, and ipods/Iphones/and Motorola s, which lead them to issue a firmware update, I wounder wheather this might be the case again for the XZU
I have just discovered this issue today when trying the google music app. This is frustrating as Play Music allows saving to SD by default, and I am not willing to root my Z Ultra.
It does appear that smart connect is locked to the Walkman app which makes switching music service almost impossible. :crying:

I use poweramp which you can set to autostart when there's a BT connection. Bypasses smart connect entirely with the same outcome.

This is quite a frustrating problem. Sony is quite elitist when it comes to their software. Fortunately andoid is flexible. Delete all events for smart connect. And install tasker. With tasker you can set Google play to start when headphones or bluetooth are connected.
Its not quite as good as smart connect unfortunately, because it has a very confusing interface. But once you figure out how to work with tasker its definately a "set and forget" type of functionality.
Hope this helps ^-^
