i just received my nexus desk dock and i noticed it was using blue tooth to stream audio,
i cant find anything on connecting a Linux pc to the desktop to stream audio to this thing.
when my pc scans for blue tooth devices it sees it for 1 sec before it disappears.
any thoughts, i just think it would be uber cool if it is possible
Wait.. so what is that you want to do? Transfer audio from the PC to the phone/dock or from the dock/phone to the PC? The latter is entirely possible, I just don't know how hard it is to achieve it on a Linux machine. On my Windows 7 machine with bluesoleil bluetooth stack, I can transfer music from my phone through my PC to my home audio system without a problem. No dock needed.
i was thinking of streaming audio to the nexus dock from my pc without using my phone.
kinda like how u can stream audio from phone to dock and keep the blue tooth connection.
nothing to do with the phone.
just want to save 50 bucks, and the nexus dock was kinda pricey,
Oh I see. I don't have the dock, but I don't see any problem doing this unless the dock deliberately refuses connection with everything but the Nexus one.
You might want to try this with a computer that is known to be able to connect to bluetooth audio devices (like bluetooth headphones).

i use my TD to play music in my car, so i connect it with the USB entrance of my car radio, i have to choose 'DiskDrive' else it doesn't work...
(just to say, sometimes the connection goes dead and i have to reconnect it wich is jdkfjmkdkfjfkjjsfksdkfj...)
now while listening to my music, i also wonna use tomtom, but tomtom is installed in my internal storage (WE map = 1.7 GB) so i can't access it because my TD is connected with my radio as a 'diskdrive'
does anyone know a solution for this???

just so u know, i allready tried installing tomtom application on my diamond and only the maps on the internal storage...
same result

good hint, problem is, i wonna know if this is possible, cuz i just ordered a new car and it doens't have a radio USB input, but i can connect my TD to it with some accessoires, but if i can't play my music and tomtom in the same time i will have to buy an ipod or so

I don't think it's possible. Even if it were then a separate USB flash drive (plus a Diamond car charger) would always be a better solution.
What accessories? Do you mean an audio cable, feeding the audio out from the diamond to an aux input on the head unit? If that's the case then you don't need access to the internal storage.
As Davey said, if you're using a USB <--> Stereo adapter, then the phone isn't in disk-drive mode, and therefore you can use GPS and Windows Media Player (or whatever) at the same time.
I did this not more than 15 minutes ago.

lol i doubt that, but i'll try it when i have my new car... when plugged in USB drive i HAVE to use 'disk-drive' cuz it won't work with active sync...

You're right in that it probably won't use activesync.
You're wrong in that it probably won't use "disk-drive" either. If it did, you could just use a USB pen drive instead. You certainly couldn't use the Diamond running TomTom, given that this is NOT possible.
As explained, you're probably talking about a simple USB audio cable. Don't expect it to sound very good and don't expect to be able to control the music from your head unit. An iPod may turn out to be a better option seeing as many head units with iPod adapters feature full iPod control. Good luck!
@nickgeys
I've got the same problem as you.
I've put one USB cable beetwen the Diamond and the car radio.
the car radio see an USB storage drive and scan it to find mp3 (5 min for me, my drive is 3/4 full).
So yes, we use "disk-drive" on the diamond in a car.
Perhaps we didn't want to hear "turn left" on the radio, perhaps we want to make a phone call while listening music and following GPS instructions.
Perhaps we didn't want to manage multiple MP3 folder (one on the Diamond, one on the USB card for the car...)
Perhaps we want to use the car remote control on the driving weel to switch between albums..... many reason
I won't buy a USB storage card or an Ipod !!!!! When i go to a car garage to repair my car, i don't expet to hear the mechanic telling me to buy a bike.
I've already use an USB storage card for my wife music (far from my taste)
I want to share on the USB only a folder.
BTW, i understand that the 'disk-drive' function plug the usb directly to the storage for performance reason. When you transfert files by ActiveSync and DriveStorage, we can see different tranferts speed.
Well, if you have a bluetooth enabled car stereo, your problems will be solved
Anyways, do you only have a usb port in your car stereo? Don't you have an AUX (mini-jack, 3,5mm)? Because if you do, I believe you can use an usb to 3,5mm adapter and plug it to your AUX...if I'm not mistaken? Haven't tried this myself tho, cause I got myself a Sony Bluetooth car stereo
Thank you for you help, but this didn't give response to my answer.
I know how to plug à 3.5 mn on my car radio.
but i want tomtom sound (radar alarm) on the phone, and music in the car radio.
With your 3.5mn jack solution, how do you
- use the car remote control ?
- make a phone call while listening music ?
Buy an Ipod ?
Don't you think it's cheaper to burn a CD-rom with mp3 on it ?
The question was : How to limit the usd driver to one folder and not the entire 4gb storage.
For those how read "how to listen music in my car", please re-read the question.
I'd like to use my internet tethering with a bluetooth adapter with my pc.
What would you say is the most reliable device that you've used?

I've used both a Belkin USB Bluetooth Dongle and now I'm using the one that came with my Logitech MX5500 Bluetooth desktop and neither gave me any problems connecting the TyTN II for Activesync, printing or file transfer (though I've never tried any using Bluetooth PAN and Internet Connection Sharing as that'd be slower than USB 2.0). The beauty of using my current one is that it handles the keyboard and mouse as well so no other dongle is needed. I have used Widcomms stack but now I'm just using the Microsoft one for basic functionality. I did briefly use a non-name elcheapo dongle a few years ago when I trialed a Motorola A1000 for a couple of weeks but I found the software with that one was a nightmare. The 'currentish' Widcomm software that comes with the Logitech and Belkin is much more user friendly. See if what you want can use the default Microsoft Windows stack and that should give you some idea of its compatibility. Not exactly a review of all thats out there but I hope that helps.
Nearly the same here actually, MX5000 with the supplied logitech/widcomm stack. Works perfectly well for everything, including file transfer, sync, PAN, ICS, A2DP,... and doesn't even cause trouble using the keyboard/mouse while all that's running.
Other than that I have the integrated BT on my laptop, then the one of my previous laptop, works perfectly too... I actually never ran into a "bad" BT adapter, it just works. Except maybe for bluetooth 1.0 about 6 years back in the early days of BT, it was a nightmare and nothing would usually work. But since they got it right it's really reliable and easy
Sweet! Thanks guys. That sounds about what I'm looking for.
HI,
I have a $10.00 blutooth dongle I bought off e-bay.
The real magic is in the software.
Try finding a program called bluesoleil.
It hooks up any bluetooth dongle for just about anything,
Bluetooth PAN
BT DUN
BT Serial port
BT access service
BT file transfer
BT sycronization
BT push
BT printer
BT human interface device
BT FAx
BT Imaging (camera/video)
BT headphone
and BT headset
I use it for BT PAN to tether my tilt (although the speed is about 60% of USB connection. 1100kbps vs 1800kbps)
and for my BT headphone/headset.
It even switches between headphone and headset during a Skype call!
Give it a try.
SF
Only prob is that Bluesoleil is payware if not bundled with an adapter, and while it indeed is makes it pretty easy visually the others like Widcomm will do just the same.
I have a robot lawnmower, Friendly Robotics Robomow RL500. It's like a Roomba for the lawn, you set it loose and let it go. Problem is, it's not very smart. For one, it gets stuck on occasion, requiring me to check on it regularly and free it if it gets stuck. It also needs to be driven out onto the lawn and turned on, and when it's done I need to go find it and drive it back. Worst of all, there is a part of the lawn that is too narrow for it to function automatically so I have to manually mow that part with an annoying wired controller, and it is much slower than a regular mower so walking behind it at a snail's pace holding a wired controller is very boring.
My idea is to make it so I can put a camera on it so I can drive it via Wifi from the comfort of my home. Somehow I will need to be able to stream video over Wifi and send commands to the robot as well, and whatever device receiving the commands will need to be able to activate the switches on the wired controller.
2 ways I thought of to do this:
1. Use one of my extra Windows Mobile phones as a "brain". They all already have a camera and Wifi. All I would need is the software to stream video over Wifi and a control program to control the robot. Microsoft has a Robotics Studio that may help me to write my own program using VS.NET. None of my phones have a serial port or USB Host controller, so I was thinking maybe I can use a Bluetooth-to-UART board and connect that to some kind of controller to activate the switches on the control panel.
2. Use a WRT54G and run Linux. This will probably cost more because I don't have a 54G. I will also need to buy some kind of camera for it, like a networked camera. It has an RS232 port that can be used to connect to some kind of controller to activate switches on the control panel. I KNOW this solution has been done, because there is a video out there of a 54G-controlled R/C car being controlled via Wifi and streaming video back. I would probably need to write my own program in C in Linux (I don't know C), unless I can find the link to that RC car again and see if that guy will share his source.
Any thoughts on which way is the best way to go?

is there a software u can use to get your tv-out to communicate with your touch screen dvd deck in your car? without haven't to pick up my htc to change the track lol
No
The cable only sends data. As far as i know. If your in a car how far away can the phone be?

Does your deck have a usb port connection? I am running a Pioneer with a usb connection and when the phone is plugged in all the music can be changed from the touchscreen on the deck.
no it doesn't damn lol
Hey @ All
Simple Little Question.
Is it Possible to Connect the HTC ONE with the Playstation 3 for the Remote Play?!
I just want to get the Ps3 Screen on my ONE
Possible?!
There's no way... :/
Good idea though!
you need a video input card for your pc to view the ps3 screen on your pc... then use splashtop app to view your PC screen on your ONE
yeah this could be a joke sometime ago, but since splashtop uses your Lan to do the "mirroring" of you PC to you Android, if your pc can handle without problem the video input of ps3, and you have a VERY good router and conection, this joke is possible... the only and really problem are the controls, you can play in your house but only because the ps3 controller is wireless, and obviously not out of your house...
I have seen movies playing on my PC in my one, played zelda and borderlans 2 (installed on PC) on my ONE, Is not comfortable but possible, and if you manage low resolutions is a LOT more even possible XP
now imaginate someone make a virtual ps3 controller that could run from a PC, and using a bluetooth dongle can connect to the ps3 as a normal controller, then uses sixasis to asign common butons to the gamepad thru splashtop on the pc...then this joke could be even more possible... LOL i worked a lot today, I'm hella high xDDDD

i was thinking of Taking a closer look at the method of data transmission both through Wireshark ect... and DPI's i got at access to at work, not sure how feasible this idea will be, to Hi-Jack the data trasmission at a lower layer level to the ONE...... not sure the resolution would adjust the the One's screen though.
