I have a k700i with a bluetooth dongle set up on the computer. I can send and recive files etc between the computer and the phone
However I cannot seem to get remote control via bluetooth working.
Is there any software any one can recommend and if anyone has got this working could they let me know how they did it.
Thanks
Rich

well, from what i understand of blue tooth, and it isnt much, it uses radio waves. However, TVs use infared. you COULD use infared from your phone to do it i would guess but, youll be close enough to just hit it with your fingers.

He isn't talking about a remote control function for TVs.
The K700i offers a remote control feature via bluetooth.
SE knowledge base:
| Quote: | Which PC equipment can I remotely control from phone (K700 series)
To use the phone as remote control, the PC Bluetooth equipment must support the Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) profile v1.0. When connected to a computer, the phone works like a combined keyboard and mouse. |
So it should work when connected. Also you should read the manual

Hey,
I am trying to figure out why my remote control option isn't working on my K700i. Bluetooth is turned on, computer accepts any other type of connection with the phone, but when i go to the remote control option on my phone - i just get a message saying "No More Files", and it goes back to the previous menu. I can't access anything in the remote control option on the phone. Any ideas? Thanks.

| Quote: | For this to work, the device you want to control must be Bluetooth aware and support the HID profile. The HID profile is supported by the latest versions of the WIDCOM Bluetooth stack (used in many PC products today) and also supported by the Microsoft Bluetooth stack for Windows XP.
You can initiate a connection from either the phone or the computer. However, the natural way to do it is from the phone (remote control unit). Simply go to the Connectivity menu -> Bluetooth menu and choose the Remote Control menu. You can see the HID configuration files available on the phone and choose the one you want. The phone will attempt to connect to the last device it was connected to. If that fails, it prompts you to select another available device. For frequent use, a user can configure a phone shortcut to point at the remote control application (please refer to the phone user guide). In this way, the remote control application can be conveniently reached in one click by moving the joystick (e.g. joystick up) from the standby-screen.
When the connection is set up, an image appears on the phone. The picture tells you which keys perform which functions. This screen is for reference only, the phone screen has not magically become touch sensitive. For example, here is the image for the Presenter, the configuration that you use to control a PowerPoint slide show.
The purpose of the keys is fairly obvious from the image. You can go to the beginning or end of the slides, play the slide show or stop it, go to a black or white screen. The volume keys (up and down) allow you to go to the next or previous slide.
HID configuration files can be downloaded to a phone like any other file. The MIME type for configuration files when received via WAP or MMS is application/vnd.sonyericsson.rc-conf.
As a developer, you probably want to know how to create your own configuration files. The good news, it's easy. The Developers' Guidelines: Bluetooth HID Remote Control provides all the necessary details for how to create key mappings and control mouse movement with the K700.
No special tools are required. Use any image editor to create the reference image. Use any XML or text editor to create the associated XML file that specifies the key mappings (according to the tags and instructions you'll find in the documentation). Pack these files into a TAR file and name it with the extension .hid, and you're done.
As support for the HID profile becomes more widespread, you'll find that you can use your K700 in all kinds of interesting ways to control electronic devices. |

Hi,
What are the devices supporting this functionality. Does symbion UIQ devices 2.02/3 support this. As you mentioned K700 isn't a symbion device it supports the feature. (mainly P800,P900,P910 deos it support?)
Bye,

Take a look at http://www.sonyericsson.com/fun and look for K700i as remote control something. That should do it.

We are talking about a special feature which is build-in in the K700i.
For the P800 you need additional software.
