im looking for a bluetooth remote controller like the ones in the sony ericson phones
main use will be for power point presentations and controlling my laptop on the move
i have searched and the only one i think is the one in jaylee any other options?
Although I have never used it, i can remember that some piece of software like that called "asus remote presenter" was bundled (or installed already) on my ASUS P535 PDA... however, I think the P535 uses a different BT stack, therefor I'm not sure if that would run on the HD anyway... but maybe it helps you to find something...
regards jan
There is an AMAZING bit of software that does these kind of functions, a friend told me about it and now i always install it into new ROMs. Its called....
GRemote http://gbmsoftware.com/
its at beta at the moment but still works perfectly. I only use it WiFi so im not sure if you can do it via BT
any mirror for the gremote?
any other options?
I'd like an app just like the SE phones as well.
Great benefit of the SE app over the GRemote for me, is that the SE app already works on the login screen of Windows XP. I used to use my SE k800i to login to my HTPC, so that I wouldn't need a keyboard.
As far as I can see, GRemote starts up after Windows login. Apart from that, it seems to do the trick and works fine.

Try this one here: MobileRemote
Works fins on both my laptop and PS3.
MobileRemote is good...
does not require to install anything on PC/laptop.
connects to BT as HID , so it can be used anywhere.

Wow, works like a treat!
The demo version doesn't allow to save pairings, so I had to buy it to see if I could log in Windows without use of a keyboard, but it did the trick
My PS3 can't seem to find my phone. It's just scanning and telling me to wait. Anyone know what could be the problem? I have no problems connecting to other phones via bluetooth, they can always find me.
i advise MobileRemote - works like a charm! I also tried gremote - the free version - and it crash several times.
That works great for a HID, But to expand on this does anyone know of an application that can work via bluetooth or wifi that can connect to an controll a windows media player or winamp remotely? One that shows the track info ad allows you to browse the library etc would be fantastic. It would allow people to be anyware in range of the wireless network (like having a BBQ outside) and control the music.
RSC Remote Mobile - uninstall problems
Hi Remote Mobile User,
I installed RSC Remote Mobile on my Touch HD but it does not work. My PS3 cannot find the HD. Now I cannot uninstall the software from my HD. I tried it on "normal" way using the option under windows and I tried it with the options under Active Sync.
Is there an other tool available to uninstall software from the HD?
Please help me.

Hi all
I have been looking around and don't think one exists, But thought i might ask anyway. Does any one know of a program i can put on my phone the will allow me to use the keyboard of my phone as a virtual keyboard for my PC and the touch screen as a mouse. through a wireless connection kind of like those remote control applications work. Sure would be a cool app to have. Would never have to get off the couch again.
cheers
Here are about 7 options to solve your problem!!!!!
1. here is a freeware app that works the opposite way (use your keyboard and mouse from your computer to control your PPC)
http://www.trancreative.com/rkb.aspx
2. Search XDA-Devs for "bluetooth hid" and you will find a program that allows you to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard with your win-mo phone
3. this program allows you to control certain applications from your PPC:
http://www.jaylee.org/remotecontrol/
I have used this one, and it is the best and it does exactly what you want and more, plus it is free!!!!!!!!!!1 The only problem I have found is that it is pretty unreliable and loses connection and has to be re-paired with bluetooth a lot.
4. This one does exactly waht you are looking for, except it costs 12$:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Telephony-SMS-GSM/Bluetooth-Remote-Control.shtml
5. logmein.com offers a free way to control your smartphone from your comp or vice-versa
6. If you have Vista, microsoft now has a SideShow client for windows mobile over bluetooth, so you can use your "gadgets" on your computer from your PPC.
7. If you want to spend a little money, you could always get the Logitech Dinovo Mini, I have it and it works great at controlling my PC, my PS3, and My pocket pc via bluetooth.
Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1220674781&sr=8-1
Or if you want something similar to the dinovo mini, you could go with this generic one:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Kybr...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1220674781&sr=8-2
If all else fails, you could always just use Remote Desktop from your PPC

RealVNC ?
How about the simple way of using VNC from RealVNC ? I use it from time to time, when I need to check something on my pc from the lunchroom @ work. I just use the VNC and use my work pc thru the wifi network.
It works great + it's free + it's 1 file open (no need for install so u can just keep it in your SD and make a link to programs if you want to.)

I know I am not the first one to think of this but I was wondering if anyone is aware of development of a remote control/keyboard app for use with the PS3 and 360 (wii gets no love)? I would love to have the functionality of using my phone for both devices at home.
I was playing around with a remote play option on the PS3 and app called BD remote but it doesnt seem to pair the two. I got the idea after downloading pocket blu app and I was able control Inglorious Basterds via wifi. That in of itself was cool but I craved more control.
I dont write code so Im of no help here. I could try but I dont think that will be fruitful.

This should probably be in Q&A or Apps section, so try posting there next time.
As for your question, it would be virtually impossible on the 360. The 360 doesn't use bluetooth or wifi, and it would be virtually impossible to have a server application running on it anyway. Maybe if you hacked your 360, added wifi and did a lot of jerryrigging, you'd get it to work. PS3 uses both bluetooth and wifi, but I don't know if its possible to port applications to it without hacking. Again, I think the real challenge is to run some sort of server on the device. The app for your phone is easy, the server side would be really tricky. Don't have a PS3, so I don't know much about it, but 360 is definitely out.
Maybe this will give you a hint. I've successfully tried it in Windows.

Not the same as what you're looking for specifically, but Gmote and Remote Droid will do that.
Gmote is awesome. I love how it turns your phone into a laptop like trackpad for your PC.
heres one for all you app developers out there,
having just purchased an acer aspire one 521 netbook, after upgrading the HDD from 160gb to 640GB, and adding some more ram, then swapping out the std wireless, to include int bluetooth, i have now connected this to my tv via hdmi, and am now looking for a keyboard/mouse that actually functions correctly, currently using a keyboard i got from maplins (but i will be returning it tomorrow as it keeps loosing the connection forcing me to reboot the keyboard.
it was while i was checking oput my SGS when i thought why not ask if is possible to make an app (i do not have the tech knowledge to do such a thing) to turn the touch screen into a bluetooth keyboard or mouse, via a toggle switch.
i have seen in the supported bluetooth profiles it can support bluetooth HID (human interface device) so im asking any app developer willing to take on such a task (you may even be able to charge for it in the market place), as currently there is no solution to this.
http://www.gmote.org/
thing i don't like about gmote is that it requires server-software instead of just using bluetooth hid

thanks for the link, looks interesting, but im acutually looking for a keyboard/mouse (touch pad) to replace teh netbook one, so when the lid is closed, i can sit back and type on the phone screen.
calling rtfm (http://www.gmote.org/faq):
"Gmote can also be used as a wireless Touchpad and keyboard, allowing you to control your computer at distance."

sorry must have missed that, mind you i did only skim the page .
Hey guys - Wanted to see if anyone out there has used a 'keynote remote' app for Android. I'm going to be running a presentation on my wife's Mac, but neither of us have an iPhone, and the clicker we're going to be using is not that great.
I know some of the other guys who use it (and have iPhones) have keynote remotes on their phones, and I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for apps I could try. A few of them out there cost some $$, and I have no problem with that, but I know we only get 15 minutes to test apps out now, and that may not be enough time.
I'd like to have the link done by bluetooth so I don't have to rely on wifi if possible. Anyone out there know about this incredibly specific request?
I know you're not wanting wifi, but it's what I use at home to control my media PC: Desktop Remote. Free and works flawlessly.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know if it works on Macs, specifically for Keynote? That's the application I'm going to be using it for, so if it only works for PCs, I won't be able to use it.
I'll look it up on the market and check it out.
Doesn't look like this has been addressed previously, so here goes:
Is there a way to use my Xperia Play as a gamepad for my PC, preferably over BT? I know there are lots of apps that let you use an android for input on a PC, usually for media players or laggy text entry, and there's that one app specifically designed to let you use a phone as a gamepad for a tab, but is there any solution that will let me use the Xplay as an honest to goodness, responsive gamepad for my PC? Touchpads aren't necessary, but would be nice if available.
There's a free app in the market called app.pcon (pc controller) or something but mite be over WiFi instead of Bluetooth. Apart from that you could use either kainy or splashtop which even though will stream the video from pc to play you could use just as an input for pc. Not sure about any Bluetooth ways have a look at droid-mote think that's Bluetooth but to another droid, very much doubt he made a pc app for it
Hope this may help
