Hi all VAIO owners,
If you also use a Sony Ericsson phone with your Sony VAIO, here is a little gift I have made for the VAIO community.
As you know, some Sony Ericsson phones come with an application called Remote Control that makes your SE phone act like a mouse to control your computer via Bluetooth HID functions.
As a VAIO TR5 owner, I have long bemoaned that my VAIO does not come with a dedicated remote control such as the one that ships with some VAIOs. I decided I would put my SE phone to good use.
Using Sony Ericsson’s freely available developer tools, I have created a HID profile that will allow you to control VAIO Zone via Bluetooth.
To begin, download the file (VAIO Zone.hid) here: .
Use Bluetooth to send this file to your SE phone. Once the file has been transferred, you will be prompted - on the screen of your SE phone - if you want to save the file and if you want to ‘Add to Remote control’. Press ‘Yes’. Make sure VAIO Zone is already running on your computer.
You will now see the above image on the screen which shows you the various VAIO Zone functions that are mapped to your SE phone buttons.
That’s it! You now have a VAIO Zone remote control! Enjoy!
Edit: Renamed two buttons (previously ‘Content List’ and ‘Properties’) to MENU and TOOLS for consistency with the VAIO Zone interface.
