Android :: Remotely Control PC
May 31, 2010
I have a Linux N wireless router, and a desktop with a wifi card running Windows 7 (Home Premium x64). I have a HTC Magic running the 4.2 version of CyanogenMod (Android version 1.6). What I basically, want to do is in the title. I want to have an app that allows me to view my PC screen on my phone. Gmote and similar apps come close, but they are useless as I cannot view my screen. I have looked at a number of "VNC" apps, but for one reason or another it just doesn't work. I have gotten VLC Remote and TunesRemote to work, which means that I am able to connect my phone to the computer, but beside that nothing works. I managed to get TunesRemote to work by opening certain ports in Windows 7. However, I tried to do a similar thing with a number of VNC applications and none of them worked. I have been trying to port forward for the last three years and no matter what I do, it just doesn't work. I am unsure if it is my Windows 7 firewall or the router, but either way nothing seems to be working.

I went through a dozen of websites and apps description on the net to find a tutorial or explanation about how to install and setup an android app to control your pc remotely (gmote, phonemypc, rdp,). But without success. Is there any (complete and working) tutorial somewhere?
The problems & open topics are:
- usually if you have XP home you are stuck because there is no remote desktop (only for XP professional and upper versions). Nevertheless, when reading comments of people who have tried one of these apps, it looks like that a lot of XP home users have successfully installed the app. How? Mystery.
- the IP address: there are either tutorials with an 198.168.x.x IP address or with an Y.Y.Y.Y IP.
If you have an 198. IP, then you are local and probably by WiFi. What is the point of using WiFi at home to control your PC? Are you too lazy to stand up and go to it?
And if you use a "showmyip.com" website to get your network IP, the apps (sofar for me) could never connect to the server on the PC with this IP. So does anyone know how to solve this point? (ports are open, no firewall issue). Finally I need an install tutorial to be able to control my PC with an app (free possibly) with detailed steps and IP/setup examples.

I want to write an Android remote control application that allows people to navigate back and forth on a PowerPoint slideshow presentation in Microsoft Office (preferably 2007/2010) on my PC. In this case, I have to make a small PowerPoint navigation client on the Android, and also I have create a PC server to access Microsoft Office PowerPoint and manipulate its slideshow. I know it is possible for a java application to gain access to Microsoft Office PowerPoint's slideshow. Some applications for Android are already made (Gmote 2.0 and such) and they can be used to navigate PowerPoint slideshows.Is there any extension or any library that can be used to gain access to Microsoft Office PowerPoint?

I've been messing around with controlling my computer with my Droid remotely, using Wake On Lan to turn it on over the internet and Torrent-Fu/AndroidVNC to interact with it. The only thing I can't seem to figure out, however, is remote shutdown. Can anyone recommend me an app that will do this? I thought AndroidVNC would have a menu option for it or something, but no such luck.

Is there an app that can remotely wipe or lock your phone if it is lost or stolen ? There is all kinds of apps to locate it thru GPS, but if you don't have a signal it`s no good. I would rather wipe it and get a new one rather than have someone else looking thru my contacts.

I'd like to connect to my girlfriend's phone (she's currently thousands of miles away) to be able to help her with stuff on her phone (customizing it, help with learning how to do stuff). Is there an app that allows you to remotely connect to another person's phone and manipulate the interface using your own phone or a PC? We use a program called Crossloop to do it for PC stuff, connecting her computer to me via the internet so I can do tech support type stuff on her computer as if I was there. I'm hoping there's something similar for Android. Yes I know she should learn on her own, but she's stubborn.

I have a customer who upgraded his app (that I wrote and publish) and now it's force closing immediately upon launch. There is critical payroll data contained within the app so it's important that we are able to recover the data. If I could see the output of the log (as from logcat), I'm sure I could diagnose the problem, but the user is not technical and cannot use a shell. Is there a way to access the user's log from within the phone?

I have an idea about using an old phone to tell me the temperature at a remote location. I need to know when a greenhouse or any remote location approaches freezing by sending an alarm to my computer or another Android phone. I thought about something similar to remote GPS locating but getting the temperature data instead of the GPS data. I could just leave my old Android phone in the Greenhouse. I know absolutely nothing about App development, I started to look at the SDK but first I needed to know Java, BASIC is as far as I ever got on a BBC.

I am curious whether the AIDL only serves for inter-process communication between several Android apps on the same device, or AIDL provides much wider functionality. Let's say I have a Java application running on some server, is it possible to remotely call methods on that server through AIDL from an Android phone?If yes, do I need some extra libraries on the server-side Java application?

I didn't find much on this anywhere and I have a feeling it is not really possible but just in case - is there a way to launch the emulator remotely without the necessary GUI (I can do that using VNC etc. but it turns out to be too slow) and install/launch apps on it?

Does anybody know if it is possible to switch on a p.c remotely from an android handset? I've figured out how to control the desktop and switch p.c off but would be good to be able to actually wake remotely.

I have Seekdroid installed on my phone but if GPS is off it doesn't work - so I want to be able to send a text with a keyword that turns on, GPS (so if I lose my phone and someone turned gps off I can turn it back on).
I know this has been patched since 2.3 but is there a way to unpatch it or is there a workaround for this?

I was using my handset as a tracking device. It was working well until one day i decided to change my google password. From next moment onwards, it stopped reporting data. When checked the handset, i saw that it is asking me to enter the new password to login. How can I remotely sign-in my android device?

I had a scare today where I left my phone at the gym and thought I had lost it. Whats a good app to locate the phone remotely? (preferably works with GPS AND cell tower location, because I don't have GPS on most of the time.) It would be nice to be able to remotely lock it as well... looks like there are some options available but I'm not sure which one works. The thing with the app store is that you can't sort by reviews, its hard to tell which app is good and which one doesn't work

I know there is an app called Gmote for music and video. But is there one for pictures. And is there an app to upload/download pictures to and from the computer. Sorry if this has been asked again. I searched for a thread. I figured I wasn't the first person to want this but I don't see anything.

Is there any app or mothered that will allow me to remotely change text displayed on an Android tablet from another android tablet or phone?
I am planning a charity fundraising event and it would be grate if I can hang my Motorola Xoom (running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Been) up on the wall with total amount raised and be able to remotely change / add amounts as people donate with my HTC One X or HP Touchpad running Android 4.0 ICS.
FYI: All devices will be connected to same Wi-Fi network.

I have some pretty sensitive data on my phone and I'd be nervous if I lost it. I use SplashID, but since my Gmail is on there, that would be bad if it fell into the wrong hands. Is there an App to remotely erase all my data? Or, what about an App that can remotely sign out of Gmail? That would be ideal. I use the "pattern password thing (touch password)", but just in case someone cracks that I want to be able to remotely log out of Gmail. Can I do that?

I use an MHL adaptor to connect my Android device on a HDMI screen.
This is really great but it would be perfect if I could use my PC keyboard and PC mouse to control it.
I tried VNC servers and TeamViewer QuickSupport but the main problem is that I don't see the mouse pointer on my device so it's very difficult to use a mouse when you don't see the pointer ^^
Any way to remotely access an Android device from a computer and be able to see this mouse pointer on the device?

I use Exchange Server for accessing email, calendar, etc, on my current iPhone. As a result, if my phone is lost or stolen, I can remotely wipe out all the data if I want to. I am about to replace all of our iPhones with EVO's and would like to know if I can do the same thing with those.

I'm trying to load/reference images from the app's assets folder from within a HTML page in a WebView. Unlike in most of the examples the HTML page itself is not located in the assets folder but is loaded from a server via http. The background of this question are some performance improvements which should reduce the loading time (and the amount of transferred data) by loading static images directly from the device. I'm not sure if Android has some restrictions here because there's a certain possibility to exploit the app by allowing access to the local file storage from a remotely loaded webpage.

Is there any way to be able to control an SGS remotely via a PC, as you can now do with the HTC Desire HD using htcsense.com ? I guess what we are looking for is a way to allow you to get the phone to ring for those times that my wife cant remember where she put it, or to lock it or erase all the data if it gets stolen/lost etc. I presume that this isn't a standard feature on the SGS (unless we have missed it) and so I don't know if there are any apps out there that allow you to do this?

I'm creating an Android application to send commands from a smartphone to a pc via Bluetooth. I'm using Phonegap framework (which uses HTML, Javascript and CSS) to develop the app. So far, I can theoretically connect the two devices and data can be exchanged between them. But I couldn't figure out how to launch applications inside the pc and then run them remotely. I've tried to use ActiveX controls, but they are not supported by Phonegap, unlike IE which does support them.
1- Launching the programs.
2- Interacting with them.
