Player control panel on the phone via Bluetooth. Remote android control devices using Bluetooth

You have an Android tablet or smartphone with HDMI output, and you know that with it you can watch movies on big Screen TV or monitor. But it is very uncomfortable - you will say. Whether the media player is: I am located on the couch, I picked up a remote, and see everything you want in your pleasure.

However, if you have another Android device in the farm, you don't need a media player now. Via free app Tablet Remote. You can turn it into a control panel of any Android tablet or telephone. It is enough just to install the program on both devices and set it up.

Program Tablet Remote. Let you manage video and music playback, adjust image brightness and sound volume, send commands such as "playback", "pause", "rewind" and switch tracks. In addition, you can serve system teams "Back", "Menu", "Home" and "Search" and even enter text on another device using the on-screen keyboard.
Moreover, you do not even need rOOT rights None of the devices.

In order to configure the program, you need to run it on both devices, enable Bluetooth on them and connect them to each other. To do this, you must select "Connection" -\u003e "Scan Devices", and after the device is detected, click "Make Device Discoverable" so that it appears in the list. By default, Bluetooth is activated by 120 seconds (2 minutes), so do not forget to remove this restriction in the "Settings" section -\u003e " Wireless networks"-\u003e" Bluetooth "settings of your device.

Now we need on the device that we want to manage to go to the program settings by clicking the "Setup" button and enable both options: "Enable Tablet Remote" and "Change the Input Method for Tablet Remote"

The Tablet Remote application perfectly works on both phones and tablets, and when we tried to manage HTC Desire Z, he took commands from another smartphone, even in standby mode (when its screen was repaid).

Actually, at the moment when I desperately find the tolerant Bluetooth headphones and firmly decided to go to the wired, the problem arose. It is: how to switch tracks and adjust the volume without getting a phone from your pocket for each occasion.

I could not think of anything sensible until I saw and, especially, found tov. A more cute version of this device. I found the instruction to him, I was convinced that all the functions I needed, I ordered and waited.

Waited, actually for a long time. Longer than completely staged me wireless headphoneswho made the keychain are actually useless. Nevertheless, I am reported.

The box at the gadget is tiny - in essence, only the keychain and fit. Outside, as well as on the key fob, the QR code (with reference to the Chinese APPs on the Chinese site, which did not load - from caution), and inside - modest instruction.

The following characteristics are stated as follows:

Wireless: Bluetooth 3.0 Compliant
Wireless Distance: 2-10m
OS: Android / iOS / PC
CPU: ARM968E-S Core
Battery: Li-Battery 3.7V 180mAh
Continuous Time: About 40 Hours
Working Current: 0.5-4ma
STANDBY CURRENT: 0.5-1MA
Size: 73 * 31 * 13mm

Plastic - glossy from above and below, corrugated sides, matte on buttons. The gloss is scratched with the moment, it looks not too neatly. Buttons We have five pieces plus an "analog" stick, similar to those such, for example, Sony PSP. By type of button, typical membrane, with a soft distinct move.

More on the side there is a switch of two key modes< - > Game, bottom - MicroUSB connector to recharging the battery, and on the back button reboot.

Turns on and translated into the pairing mode with a long-holding START. Just turns on - shorter. It turns off - long retention START. Theoretically, the key fob's state indicates the blue indicator next to the Start button, but it does it for my taste it is somehow unconvincing.

Those. Since in the working modes it is one-color, then when you turn on, it is possible and slip into the pairing mode, almost noticing. When you turn off the button must be kept for quite a while, until the indicator starts not to flash, but flicker. When charging the indicator, however, burns red - until the process is over.

With my phone in the first mode (Key) on the main screen, the stick switches the tracks (in one of the positions there is a rewind, and I never achieved ahead), the Start button switches the playback / pause.

Two top-up buttons diagonally (with cross and iOS) adjust the volume, the button with a triangle seems to work as "back", the button with the letter and the functions does not carry.

In the camera, the Stick and Start button control everything as well as the player, but all the buttons besides the one with a triangle, work as a shutter descend.

In Game mode, the stick works like the cursor buttons, but at the same time the keychain needs to be taken horizontally, stying to the left.

At the same time, it would be possible to think that Start would perform the Enter function, but on the main screen it is not. Although, for example, in the Start camera mode, you can really use to switch functions if you bring the "cursor" to them, which for the most part is not visible at all, if you do not count the moments when the focus hits the camera shutter button / video.

When changing the key fob button, the roles also change roles. Now the button with the triangle suddenly works as a scrolling on the page down, the button and works as "back", the iOS button in the functionality was not seen, and X seems to work as ENTER. Stip (if you hold) you can scroll up-down pages.

Those. It is clear that really this thing you can steer the camera in some limits, music player, browser and, probably, do something in games.

It is also interesting that the keychain works without problems if Bluetooth-headphones are simultaneously connected to the phone and, for example, a Bluetooth pedometer. In principle, it can be useful because there are headsets with not very convenient control.

Here I want to ask for forgiveness - the experiments of me somewhat tired. Since and a bunch of useless photo sketched, and the uncountable number of times rose from applications back to main screenwhen it was not particularly expected.

And separately I apologize that I could not express my impressions about the games. I do not play games, and therefore I absolutely can not imagine how this keychain is convenient as a manipulator.

My resume is: the key chain does what I need, and if you try to master everything and everything, it may not work first, because the control is not entirely obvious.
