pugs, Yes the "use as remote control" is fully functional. That's why you need the port 9777 and the "Allow Programs on other systems to control XBMC" enabled on the xbmc.

would it be possible to bring folder view to the main screen, put one of the other icons as the 5th icon and have folder viewer as 2nd icon or something? for a future update?
i would like that myself, because in music for some reason only one album shows in album view, but when i go to file view, it is how it should be but first i have to click music and after that i see all my music folders, strange
apart from that for me, everything else is how i expected it to be, and how comes the |< and >| buttons stop music? i would have thought pressing them went to the next song? not sure but as some of you may know i am still new to the remote and still learning about it i guess
thank you

I just tried it with wifi disabled going through my cell phones network and it worked fine.
Must be a setting you missed somewhere.
I just went through a nightmare and ended up reinstalling only to not fix the problem...my screen was shifted to the right for some reason. Like the egde of the display area was 2 inches from the edge of the monitor. Ended up being something wrong between the monitor and the video card. Unplugged the VGA cable, plugged it back in and it went away...spent a few hours searching the web and and driving myself nutz on that one ugh.

I dont think that the remote can send keypresses from your phone keyboard to XBMC yet. And I dont know if there will be support in the future

I have tried everything and can not get the XBMC remote or any of the unofficial remotes to work. I have checked all of the port forwarding settings numerous times and no luck. I can connect over 3g to my utorrent client so I know that port forwarding is working. Any ideas? I am forwarding porst 8080, 9777 and 9 to my xbmc box. Works great over wifi.
