Android as Blutooth device - Off-topic

I've always wondered if it could be posible for any hardware to detect an android phone as a generic (or specific) Blutooth device, be it a Keyboard, a Mouse, a PS3 controller, etc.
I've recently found this app that it's apparently taking this idea. Check it out!
search BlueputDroid at Google Play Store

I know there is an app that allows you to use a PS3 remote to play games on your phone, helpful if you have your phone up to a big display across the room.

Laggy rather!
It tells you sometimes in 2 mile you will be turning left, then 1 mile you will be turning left, then it leaves it just before the junction, read about this before and others have experienced the same. Reminds me I should test it on 2.1 see if its a os thing rather than co pilot itself.

I dont believe anyone but you find the question to be stupid. I did however find your post disrespective to the OP, hence my response. If you think "GPS app" is stupid, its hardly the OP's fault but rather your own. Ive yet to meet a person with so devastatingly decreased IQ that he couldnt divine the meaning of "gps app".

you obviously don't know a lot of people... a gps app can be so much, and frankly i think a car navigation is the last. there are geocaching applications, simple monitors for the gps, apps for running/hiking/biking/skiing/golfing/fishing/sailing/climbing and so on. most of the people i know would ask for navigational software if they mean it.
what i find disrespectful is wanting help, but not even taking the time to phrase a question correctly. i think it is not asked too much that you at least state your problem in a complete sentence. and it is actually even more disrespectful if the op then vanishes from the thread, what seems to have happened here. i mean, we are still guessing what exactly is meant by "gps app". in your head it is satnav, in mine it is still not exactly determined what he meant. but wise and knowingly as you are i will be happy to leave this thread and have you keep on guessing...
*shaking my head about this amount of ignorance being supported...*

Just an FYI, but their are *plenty* of "gps apps" that are not related to turn-by-turn navigation! Having said that, I would generally assume someone meant navigation, but KendonG2 did ask the OP to be more specific!

what a load of hassle just over someone asking for a GPS app, the forums just seem full of users taking every opportunity to jump down peoples throats, lighten up!!

This is so people can increase their number of post and get a greater title lolol.
I read so many replies that I forgot the questions lolol. If you are in the United States and have Sprint as your carrier, try out Sprint Navigation System. It is pretty good.

[Q] What happened to that app?

Not too long ago there was an article posted on XDA talkin about a new app for honeycomb. It was suposed to pick up the radio signals from near by phones and decrypt them and allow you to listen in on the calls made from it and also look through the contents of the phone. Now I can't find it anywhere? Can anyone help me with a link to the article or a link to DL the app?

lol yea, i wish i could find it though, seems like it would be fun to play around with, i knew i shoulda downloaded it when i first saw it. well if anyone else happened to see it then let me know
If it was not an April Fools prank then it was almost definitely very illegal.
Listening into other cell phones would fall under wiretap ordinance. It might be a bluetooth hack, which would still be illegal but not as bad, since you are talking about looking through the contents of a phone. Bluetooth (short of a exploit) would not let you look through the phone arbitrarily either though.
Even if this kind of an app was real, why in the world would you install it? Seems like just asking for serious trouble, serious as in jail time serious.

[Request app] minecraft?

I have come to like the game minecraft and I was wondering if anyone had heard word of putting it on android. I have looked on the market but didn't know if any of my fellow nerds had tackled this yet.
The entire game is only 256K or something, don't know if that helps any. The reason I'm looking is my phone handles graphics much better than my laptop and it is portable.
I appreciate any help, I'm just not sure if anyone has tried this or anything similar, but I don't know the difficulty of putting apc game on a phone (imagine it's difficult, but the sims 3...)
Thanks in advance
Posted however I damn well please
Why do you ask this in a forum for fascinate theming? Go to the main android xda forum that isn't specific to a phone.

Ummm... yeah
First off, minecraft is not open source, it'd have to be ported by notch + friends. Secondly, minecraft is extremely intensive and unoptimized, theres no way its gonna run on our phones. Thirdly, our phones are only running games at 800x480, and the games on android are not comparable to pc's graphically. And lastly, Sims 3 for android and pc are entirely different entities, its not a straight port. Less geometry, lower quality textures, etc. etc.
They are supposed to release a minecraft app. It was all over the net

It may have received more attention in the main android app section but this is the right spot, I agree.
I have not played minecraft personally but I do not know why people think it cannot be possible on android platform. Look at some of the other games on the market. Dungeon Defenders for one has seemingly good graphics and is on android.
Thanks for the responses guys, my bad if this would have been more appropriate in general android, it was just really late when I posted. I'm excited to see they are talking about porting it later this year or 2012, I'm interested to see how it runs on our phones.

I didn't say it was necessarily the wrong section, i only asked why he would post in such a specific section that has almost nothing to do with his request. This is a forum for sharing themes and apps, not app development.
Love minecraft. The launcher is only 256k, the game needs a bit more. in its current form it uses nearly a gig of ram. As it its now, running minecraft isn't gonna happen. Notch says there working on a port, but that will be a while.

AFAIK, Minecraft is coming in some form to iOS in 2012. Didn't hear Android.
Not trying to bring up an old thread but it looks like Minecraft app is getting close to release on Android. I do not know if it will be for Xperia Play phone only or all phones.

"What Kinda Super Tracking Cookies Does XDA Use ?

Every time I visit another website, and then come back to XDA (yes I do close out that window before coming back to XDA), I see an advertisement for that website on XDA ? (or should I say, products advertised on that website)
Well, not every time, but .................
Happens to me too... I see mostly photo lens ads xD

I am pretty sure that will happen on any side you visit...thats how add revenue is so popular
Is there a setting you can adjust under Internet options to minimize this ?
Also, according to "Hotmail," if you close out the previous web-page, that's supposed to prevent this.
There is a way indeed... It's called ad-block and cookies clear on browser exit

OK, I just made a post in the off topic photo thread about the Panasonic Lumix ZR3, and now I'm seeing ads for the ZR3 on XDA!!!!
I've read an entire book on XP pro from cover to cover, owned 6 laptops, understand the in's and out's of converting and burning video's/CD's.
But would somebody please explain to me what's going on here ? And/or refer me to some appropriate tutorials.

Yup, XDA hasn't invented some awesome method, it's just the standard ad technology from the provider (doubleclick or dart iirc)
There's an opt-out on the ad network's site, to disable the tracking.
Is it a perk of being a recognised dev that I never see ads? I recently saw the site when I wasn't logged in and was like whaaaaaa?

It is. I thought that you would have had to actually go in and enable it yourself but maybe they do it for you automatically. To answer your question though, Yes.

I need to know which adverts it is you're seeing that are using this...
If you hover over them, try and get the domain name of it. If it's a google/doubleclick one, head to http://www.google.co.uk/privacy/ads/ for information about this. That's the google UK link, but there will be a suitable one for your region too (and I think it's a generic thing anyway)
Arent they called ad sense or something like that?

OT: PS3 DLC Question

For the life of me, I can't seem to find what I have downloaded on my system. I had to purchase a new system, and because Infinity Ward is stupid, they require you to download all DLC content whether you play it or not, to play what you want to play. I'm referring to MW3. MW3 has like 50 DLCs....and I could have sworn I hit all of them, and when I login to MW3 online, it's telling me I'm still missing DLCs...of course the PS3 wont individually list the DLCs you have, and the PSN store is so f*cking screwed up, it wont even tell you if you currently have content downloaded to your system....E.X....you can download a DLC pack and install it, if you view that DLC on the PSN even after you've purchased, downloaded, and installed, it'll still allow you to download it again with no clue that you might already have it.
