I currently have TP & I'm looking into getting the Hero. I was wondering if anything built-in (or in the Android Market) will support Google Voice. WinMo has a few apps, but none really do the job as seamlessly as I think they should. Does anyone have the inside track on what's going on w/ GV?
Google voice is in Android market
Just wondering -
Does google music have the proper PHONE interface or does it have the buggy tablet interface?
It had the tablet one on my international Note back in November so that's why I'm wondering. This is an app I use every day.
So you've got a Q, and you've learned how to adb install apps to it... maybe even put a launcher on. But if you've got an NFC capable phone/tablet, you need not mess around with a launcher: your device will be your launcher.
As most of you probably know, the Q ships with a fully capable NFC radio. But for whatever reason, google only ever gave it one official function... beaming out a link the the Q App in the Play Store. Even if you already have it installed. They could have just as easily used a tag to do that job. But I've discovered that if you're running a sideloaded app, the Q will beam that app to your phone. Clearly, we're dealing with a fully beam-compatible device.
However, the Q is programmed to automatically push it's beam out when it finds a device that can receive it. To overcome this, you must open settings (either via a launcher or via adb shell, this is well-documented) and go to the "more" menu. Turn Android Beam OFF while leaving NFC on. This allows the Q to still read your incoming beams (they act just like tags, for compatibility) but it stop apps from opening unexpectedly on your phone.
Once you've done that, you can open any app installed on your Q simply by opening it on your phone/tablet and beaming it over. You'll still need a mouse or keyboard to navigate, but you won't have to futz around with getting to the launcher. This is working on my unrooted Q.
(I don't think this has been discussed before. I hope someone finds it useful!)
Thanks for the info, I was actually wondering whether this was available on the stock firmware. When you say you still need to launch/control with OTG, do things like Youtube links not autoplay when Beamed?

This basically opens the app like an android app on the Q. To click on things you need a mouse and an otg cable.

Animal24 has it right. And yes, it's available stock and unrooted. If you send a video to the Q, it will still work. However, when the video stops, it will return to the open app, not the standard home screen. If I recall correctly, music will play in the background if an app is open, and the lights will not dance.
That all said, I haven't used the Q since the new music lauched. :/

With CM10.1 and XBMC, I'm planning on using the Q to replace my Revue. I'm all OTA so I don't have a cablebox for the Revue to interface with, and with Aptoide I'm going to see if I can get the new Primetime working on the Q for finding and watching shows from Netflix/etc. Hopefully some year Primetime will do generic Amazon links instead of the GoogleTV apps. I'm using the new Play Music on my Q and using my phone as a remote. I've discovered that I can't seem to beam from the new Play Music to another device, or at least when I do it won't autoplay.

How are you doing this? ATM, I'm using BubbleUpNp from both sides, Q and phone. This allows me to still use Google Music as well as All Access. If there is a way to get the stock aplication to work in any way, please share

Hi FadedLite,
I'm using DroidMote to use my phone as a remote to the Nexus Q. I also use ShareKM, another fantastic option that lets me mouse "over" to my Nexus Q from my laptop and control the cursor with my laptop's mouse. One thing I need to figure out is a way to trigger DroidMote Server and ShareKM to start listening on boot, otherwise I have to use my OTG plugged mouse to open the programs and start them up once.
To use Google Music with All Access on the Q, as I stated I'm running CM 10.1 and they have a Gapps package that gives you the Play Store and Play Framework, so you can install Google Play Music and Movies & TV, etc.
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can offer any suggestions on this.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) and a Galaxy S3
I play music with Google Play Music on my tab, and I want to be able to control it (change track, playlists, etc) from my phone.
Both Android, both Samsung, same application. Surely there must be something out there that can do this.
Essentially I want to use my phone as a remote control.
Ive looked, and I cant find anything, short of installing an ugly VNC connection on the tab.
If not, has anyone ever considered looking into it?
Thanks
Howie
I don't think Play Music supports remote device controlling yet, as far as I know. This would have to be built into the app in much the same way TV pairing is built into the Youtube app and not the device itself. Or so I think, but I could be wrong.

there is a great remote app for grooveshark that does this. I have not found anything for play music yet.
I have searched these forums and I have tried damn near every app I can find relating to voice control. I simply want an app that controls a music player (doesn't even have to be google play as long as I can integrate play music into the player) and by control I mean: NEXT for next song and PREVIOUS for previous, PAUSE, for pause, etc. The only thing close is a few apps like Utter where you can say play music, and that's it or Commandr for google now where you have to say like 7 idiotic phrases to get to "NEXT". I know this is possible because from my s2, s3, s4 the STOCK Samsung app had voice control with NO WAKE UP PHRASE and no button pressing. You simply turned on the setting and when you opened the player, you just say "next" "previous" "pause" etc and it was amazing. I even integrated google play online library to the player. HOWEVER the idiots at Samsung took the voice features out of the s5 and Note 4 which I now have and I've spent months trying to find an alternative for my car. I don't know if any of you used this but it's amazing putting your phone down in your car and just simply saying "next" "play" etc...not having to say stupid things like Hi galaxy or wake up or ok google first even if those platforms had a next search function. IF ANYTHING can someone maybe edit the s4 Samsung music player stock app for use in the Note 4. I have tried to install it on my Note 4 but it will not function, even replacing the stock one in the Note 4. My phone is rooted, has custom recovery, xposed framework, and I am willing to do whatever to get this feature. Thanks
