Android :: App To Access And Work Phone Remotely?
Nov 24, 2010
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 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 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?

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?

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.

It's there a way to access my phones files without it being connected to my WiFi network? Maybe an app that can run as a service?

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.

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?

Is it possible to create a sort of wifi lan network (i.e., make the captivate work as a local area network router without internet access)? this could potentially be useful: quick filesharing, improvised LAN for games, etc...

Is there an app that you would install on Tablet to run as service (and so small footprint), then you access a web page from PC or other device over internet, click a button and that takes screenshot of whatever there is on the Tablet with the server installed, downloads it and displays in a window in the browser?
So it doesn't need to stream or allow for remote control, only take screenshot of remote tablet and view it locally.Since ICS has screenshot feature built in, maybe it wouldn't even require root?

I'm looking for an app that'll help me find my phone via GPS without always having to have GPS enabled. I have Wave Secure and it doesn't have an option to turn my GPS on remotely, Lookout Mobile Security is the same way and Where's My Droid app requires GPS to be previously enabled.
The Internet location ability's accuracy within 200-1000ft radius doesn't seem useful if my phones stolen. I don't think walking from door to door, trying to listen in on each house for my alarm would work out too well.
Any app that could turn my GPS on remotely via codeword text or Internet site would be extremely useful.

Inadvertently, I blocked eclipse from accessing the Internet, which prevented the emulator from running (see my other post). Once I removed the block, eclipse and the emulator worked again. Anyone knows why is network access required for eclipse to work?

I'm searching for android phones that can use video out to the tv for a research project. I'm considering the HTC Touch Pro.
Is there anything I have to do specifically to get the video out to work (for displaying my app on the tv)? or will the phone just display a running app on the tv without extra work?

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'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.

I have an Asus Slider Sl101. Around 3 days ago, our router had been changes as the previous one wasn't working properly. Our carrier is Charter and our router is Netgear. We hooked every device up to that new router and everything worked fine, including the tablet. But later on in the day,the Internet on there stopped working.
It shows that it's connected, but when I try to access the internet through the browser, it does not work. The blue line at the top of the browser starts up, moves forward a little, and stops entirely while the browser then says "Webpage Not Available". Apps that require Internet, such as Accuweather and my SAT apps, fail to work as well. Other devices that use our wifi include another computer and Nintendo DSi and 3DS. They all work fine. Our router shows that our android is connected to it, as well.
I've tried the static IP stuff, restarted the router, left the wifi off on the tablet for a few hours, and turned it off and off. I even factory resetted it and not even that worked.

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 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 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 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?

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 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.
