Well thats a fast judgment, you can always connect a bluetoot irda controller to your kaiser
but they are really not available!

But what if i could start my playstation 3 with kaiser...that would be fun

This thread is un-fuc*ing-believeable,
I was told by a friend that my tilt will wipe my ass for me. Does anyone have a .cab for this
Yea your phone will work as a universal remote. All you have to do is...
1. line up the upper left hand corner with the power button on your t.vv
2. place your hand behind/side of your head.
3. throw hard.
4. You turned off your t.v
P.s. Repeat the above steps for powering on, volume, audio/video, etc....

you got problems my friend

ohhh nooooo, sorry all about to edit

actually i remember there was this sound to ir converter that you can use......where you "record the sound" from the infrared signal. so you then just play the sound, and its converted to an infrared signal....lets see what google pulls up...

I've tried, but failed . I trowed my phone several times, killed my television and broke my phone. It is a shame i noticed afterwards that the control buttons (power/volume/etc.) where at the back of my tv

Hey, don't get down on yourself. We all make mistakes. Go buy a new T.V. and phone, Try again.
If you turn your television around it should work then.

If you really wanted to, you could buy an irda for the kaiser, but you would have to plug that in along with a mini-USB converter (unless you find a mini-usb irda) every time you wanted to use it. It would probably be better for you to just get one from Logitech (if you have the money).

get a TV with bluetooth remote... if they exist....
or you can write a program to enable kaiser to play PS3... the controller use bluetooth throught....

FINALLY!!!! Found: Cradle WITH Audio Jack!!!

I stream XM all day at work and I have to flip my phone upside down in the cradle so that I can use the Y-cable to play the stream through my speakers. I've always hated this because, 1. it defeats the purpose of the cradle and 2. the phone is upside down.
So I tried to get smart this weekend and adopt my OEM audio Y-cable to my cheap $10 ebay cradle I bought a while ago so that I could listen to audio while the phone was docked.
That was a big mistake.
I snapped the PCB board in half and now I've got no cradle and no Y-cable for audio. So after hours of searching, I FINALLY found a cradle that has the correct USB connector, thus allowing an audio out.
http://search.stores.ebay.com/Premi...sooZ1QQfsopZ3QQsaselZ840472QQsbrsrtZdQQsofpZ0
I just ordered it and so I haven't tested it, but the connector is the right shape, so I have confidence that it will work. I only wanted to get this link up there for those who have been searching for this.

I think maybe you got too technical. When I bought my touch it came with 2 types of Y-cable one for power/3.5mm? audio connections and the other for power/usb headphones that came with my touch. I would have just plugged that into the usb port in the back of the cradle and powered it by my computer.
But since you showed a link to ebay - here is another store called the Naked Cell Phone in ebay stores. My link goes right to the HTC Touch accessories he has. and his cradles can accommodate a second spare battery. Worth a look.

On the left side are other options to other phones and accessories.

you're talking about this, right?
http://cgi.ebay.com/BATTERY-CHARGER...sidZp1742.m153.l1262?_trksid=p1742.m153.l1262
It doesn't allow you to play audio through external speakers and/or listen to the headphones while docked. While at work, I like for my phone to be upright so that I can see the screen.
I don't know what is so technical about wanting to have your phone in a docking station, where it is upright, and elevated from a surface and still have the ability to play audio through external speakers.

That looks like the one but it does not show the back -- didn't know if it had a miniUSB on the back.
Just trying to help

it's not the back connection that is the problem. it's the cradle connection. the part where the phone connects to the cradle has to be the d-sub pin layout. htc has pins on both sides, whereas miniUSB only has one side. the pins on the opposite side are for audio. regardless of how the back is wired, without the proper connection, you won't get audio out while docked.
I tried to rig something but ended up futzing everything up.

640k - did this docking station work for your intended purpose?
I'd like to pick up a dock, and was wondering about your experience.
Thank you.

works perfectly well. definitely allows me to play all audio with teh phone upright. it includes ports for power and usb too, so it seems like you get the full function of the mini usb port with it.
my only gripe is the dock itself. it's a little clumsy to get the phone in and out and i find myself hitting the camera button when i remove the phone.
the dock also prevents use of the d-pad. which seems minor with a touch screen, but some apps respond better from the d-pad (or sometimes it's just easier). you can go up, left and right, but you cannot press down, even though it is visible.
the dock is also 2-3x the size of the phone which may be a turnoff for some people but the build seems to be quality.
however, it's definitely worth the $15. it comes with a charger and a usb cable. the audio out is a standard 3.5mm jack, so even if you don't want to play music through your computer speakers, you could always hook up headphones.

Got one!
I quite like this dock. I run "My Mobiler" on my desktop, so I can access the phone using my monitor/mouse/keyboard.
Now I can use the phone as my media player, transfer files, install apps, and (in theory) answer my phone calls hands-free using the on-board mic and my speakers. Haven't tried the last yet...

Thanks for the tip on this one, just ordered one for my car dock. Gotta love last.fm and podcasts for the commute streaming from Android on my touch!

just an fyi, the usb connection on this dock doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. i need to crack it open to see if i can find what's wrong. but i get intermediate connections and the phone goes in and out of being connected. not sure what the problem is, but i haven't used teh dock in a few weeks.

Cool i might get this. Been looking for a dock for a LONGGGGG time

Yikes, $18.00 shipping to Canada.

Cradle...
I got a deal where the usb/pc cradle, car cradle, 2 car power adapters, 2 wall chargers, 2 usb sync cables, and a soft case, and 3 pen/styluses all shipped for like $29, from Premiertek.net thru their ebay store, it also came with a belt holster that is kinda wonky but I really only wanted the 2 cradles anyway and I use my BlackBerry Perl's holster, cuz with my case it fits perfect. so I'm stoked, it allows for speakers on the usb pc cradle, and hands free built in on the car cradle... sweet. now I need to find a better mini audio plug to 3/8 sound adapter to use with the car cradle, mine only picks up the left channel.... but I have already confirmed it is my mini/3/8 adapter and not the cradles..

Anyone tried this on a vogue with android flashed?, want to know if audio out is all good.

I feel bad for anyone still using a Vogue. That phone was a nightmare compared to my D1. This cradle is/was junk. I don't know/remember what the failure was, but I'm glad to have moved on. Hopefully you guys can upgrade soon. Get an Android phone, any of them. you'll be pleasantly surprised.

[Q] Magnet "trick" - bug or feature?

Hi,
newbie here on the xda ...
an interesting experience with my P990 and an ebay-bought case...
I've got the case and have been very happy because the P990 is a little big to hide it to my pocket... but almost every time when I get it out from the case, Car home has been started... there was a long trying peroid to discover how could it happen: the little magnet of the case starting the Car home! Now I can reproduce it almost every time with the case, with a hdd magnet and even with the door of my fridge. Just have to pull a magnet close to the back panel of the phone and voilá, Car home suddenly started! To tell the truth I've hate this bug (or feature ) and of top of that sometimes the icons have disappered from the actual screen (switched to an other screen and back solving the problem).
Is the anyone who experienced a similar symptoms?

it's a feature for your carkit. If you've rooted your phone, just delete or freeze the carkit app and it will be over (i guess)

I happen to have the official LG car kit.
Although i noticed a small silver metal thingy on the back of the holding-case itself, I assumed it would do something when inserting the phone.
Apparently nothing happens on my phone when i put it the holder.
No carkit app, no nothing...
I assume that my carrier specific firmware (H3G Austria) might be buggy or something like that.
There are no options in the carkit app to enable/disable the magnet triggered startup.

Your phone has to be unlocked when U plug it on the car holder

thank you vermuch

Thanx for the answers... so I should root my phone or buy a magnetless case.

Thank you, I was aware of that.
Fortunately, I figuered out, how it works:
When I wrote the first post, it was not working because the carkit app was not running in background.
I launched the app and closed it again with the "X".
After that, the carkit app would pop up when inserting the phone in the holder.
@acid_master:
Just stop/kill/end the app in the running-apps settings.
Should do fine until reboot.

whitemusketeer: unfortunately it isn't enough, because Car home always started again "by itself" ... so I should root my phone to do it.

[Q] power issues

ok im new to the android family and a total noob lol. but i need some help, ive been surfing to find answers my streak 7 wont take a charge unless i pull the piece partially out of the tablet, not sure to what caused this im thinking a pwer surge came through when i had it plugged into a wall socket connected to a light switch that got turned off then back on. also how do i get honeycomb 3.1 on it and will that void the warranty. is there a voice app that will allow the tablet behave like the xbox kenect?

You've probably smashed the power cable. I did it to mine and I've been having that problem. There is a thread for the honeycomb install. There is no app that will allow the streak to work like a kinect.
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA Premium App

Is he serious about that last question?

I think he's talking about the voice control on the kinect. As of yet there is nothing like Dragon Naturally Speaking for android, but it is possible since they do have voice recognition. After all, just press the microphone button on the google search widget and you can start just about any activity and even have it dictate emails for you.

External Touchscreen / Nook Home Dock

Hey everybody!
I just went through my electronics-box and found an old 15.4" LCD screen that I ripped from a broken Laptop a couple of years ago. Also a couple of days ago, there was a post on engadget about some chinese company, that sells the electronics for the type of LCD screen that I have. That made me thinking what to do with it:
Since I think the Nook is a perfect device for traveling around, I don't like it just to lie around at home. So my thought was, if it would be possible, or even has already been done, to fit the screen with some touch capability and build some kind of docking station for the Nook:
I come home, put it in the dock and the bigger screen takes all the functionality of the Nook screen (for displaying some media for example). Also of course it should charge the battery.
When I leave the House, I just take the Nook out of the Dock and have the normal Nook behaviour.
This is just a brief idea and I have not put any thoughts about the feasibility of such a project into it. What do you think about it?

That is a pretty cool idea! I would love to see you go through with it. I have a feeling that the cable might be an issue.... Is it even possible to transfer images through a microUSB plug? That would be the only thing that I see that might end up as an issue. My question would be, would it require additional software to make the image work appropriately with the monitor?

External display
I am searching for this functionality for a very long time.This is the first time I have seen a post related to that.
I would be happy atleast connecting nook to a dell monitor.

It may be possible using the display link drivers from the link attached . This is some thing I have been trying to make happen since i bought a car with out gps , I would love to mount a touch screen in the car then connect my android devices to it so i have all the same functions on a larger more driver friendly screen . http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/

Looks like it's been done, just about.

You just need to expose the connections and add a switch of sorts...

very intriguing I might have to try this.

thank you for posting this
I think...I MAY try this at some point.
its just too cool not to. Im not sure what I would use it for though
