Ir blaster - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any app or way to use it as air conditoner remote

I managed to make mine work with my air conditioner & car just using the built in TV app. I just mapped them.

We can use the built in TV app, but it also depends on the air conditioner itself. Not all air conditioner can be mapped I think.
If HTC One can recognize the IR Blaster signal emitted by the air conditioner remote, then it means you can map it and can be used.

App to control music player through car stereo

Is there any app or hardware I can buy to control my music on my phone through my CD player so I can skip songs on my actually CD player that's played through my phone???

I doubt it.
There are so many Android Phone / hardware configurations and just as many car stereos that I don't think you will have much luck finding anything that will do what you want.
I know the iPhone/iTouch have hardware like that but there's a bigger market and more standardized hardware to achieve that.
Improved Voice controls on the phone would be a better bet for app developers to work on.
I know you can say "Listen to Dark Side of the Moon" and the song will queue up but, as far as I know, you can't say "Skip, Pause, Volume Up, Volume Down".
That would be cool.
I just basically want to control my music play on my phone with my car stereo not really talking about voice actions

I'm not sure if this will help you, there are FM modulators that you can use to stream the audio from your phone to your car stereo.

No I have a aux cable to my phone that would just make it wireless thanks though

Try Googling android car stereo or something like that. You may have to get a more high tech CD player that has Bluetooth capabilities.

Need a Bluetooth audio connection to your head unit, and a head unit that has Bluetooth audio control features. Sync by ford allows this, but i'm sure aftermarkets will too.
An audio cable does not have this functionality in any way.

Ya I figured there would be a combination of aandroud app and a 20 dollar device I can purchase to make this happen other than a expensive new head unit

Maybe just maybe there is a handsfree phone device that could control the music player.... Not sure on that.

yeah moto has one but it doesn't play throught the car stereo system whitch it what i am trying to do i guess i might just have to pick up a ipod touch
I have an iPod Nano just because of how it interfaces with my Pioneer head unit. You can't beat the iPod controls on newer car stereos. I hope Android gets there eventually!
Look for gesture control (proximity sensor control) in the market place.

Kenwood makes head units that, when coupled with a Kenwood app for smartphones, allows you to control the phone from the head unit. Very cool.

If apple can get it to work I don't see y android can't what do they have that we don't besides overpriced overrattrd devices

I bet you could take a pair of those headphones that have the controls built in (Beats or something? The ones for HTC phones, maybe I'm wrong but I saw a picture somewhere where the headphone cable had next/prev and vol up/down buttons) and splice it into your AUX cable and be good to go.
Found another thread on XDA discussing this as well (for a different phone, but still most likely applies in this case): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817287&page=2
New Ford cars actually have the technology to do this. Not sure about other companies but my dad just got a new ford truck that can sync up to apps on your phone via usb or bluetooth and I looked it up and just about all new Fords do it.
yeah i want it too pretty sweet but... i can afford a brand new truck otherwise i wouldn't be discussing other options lol.. i was just go buy one ha ha ..

logitech f310 game controller

I got a nexus 7(not rooted) and a Logitech f310 controller, when i connect the controller it works on the home screen, when i launch grand theft auto 3, the camera spin around. is there a way to get this controller to work with grand theft auto 3?
Anyone got a answer?

If I was to root my nexus 7, will the controller work?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There is a known issue with the gamepad layout file that causes this. You have to be rooted to replace the file with the fixed version. It is not game specific as it effects most games and controllers.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
So after I root, how do I fix the game controller file, and where do I get the file.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I also would like to know the fix so I can use tablet remote app to use my phone as a controller for emulators. The app works with everything but emulators. I have tried keymapping without luck
Do a search for wireless xbox controller fix. Should be the same.

What cool things to do with Nexus 7?

As the title says, what do you do or can be done?
I haven't really found any cool things to do with the tablet. Other than watching movies on a bigger screen than a phone, I haven't really used it for anything different that I can't do on my phone (albiet a bit slower)
Use ur ps3 control to play games

A few guys here have replaced the indash stereo in their car with the N7. Looks pretty good too.
get all the square enix games. final fantasy 3 is so fun to play on nexus 7 rather than my 4" incredible 4g. Also chaos rings is fun as well as wild blood
Control your computer remotely using Splashtop 2 or TeamViewer, both for free.

+1 for Splashtop 2
If you have a Linux machine, install ConnectBot on your Nexus 7 and SSH into your home computer.
Another thing that seems to impress folks is when I use BubbleUPnP to connect to my home PC over the Internet to watch movies.
Speaking of movies and SSH, login to a Linux machine with mplayer installed and watch a movie in ASCII (works best with cartoons):
Code:
$ mplayer -vo caca Aladdin.mp4

Play Ms. Pacman
Use it as an external monitor/remote control with Chainfire's DSLR Controller app if you have a compatible Canon camera.

It's replaced my Sat-nav, and no it's not mounted on the windshield, its just below the air vents. Also used an NFC tag on the holder so when I put the tablet on the holder, it fires up the navigation app automatically
Also using it to control my TV as other users have suggested
I almost feel as though this post should be a sticky lol. Great ideas guys! Keep em coming!

Well it already has adb. Just open a terminal and type adb! You also can get fastboot on it (search xda for fastbootarm). And you would need a usb otg cable. Not sure if it works too well (my cable hasn't arrived yet), but you could also install Ubuntu and do it from there.

Ditto to this one. It works, regardless of the ROM used. I've used it on both TW and CM. And now that the WatchOn app is retired, this fits in nicely...without the TouchWiz bloat.
