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.

After successfully installing and regularly using the Gmote app, wondered if there was one for controlling the Xbox 360 and/or Nintendo Wii? - predominantly interested in one to control the Xbox.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a list that contains elements not necessarily occupying the entire width of the screen, but even if using android:layout_width="wrap_content" on my elements, they always behave as if their width value were set to "fill_parent" instead. If I set a fixed value for the width, e.g. "100px", that value is indeed used, but I just can't get wrap_content to work.
Example simple list item:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#707"> <TextView android:id="@+id/text1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#770" android:text="Text1" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/text2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_below="@id/ text1"
android:background="#077" android:text="Text2" /> </RelativeLayout>
What am I missing here? How do I accomplish a list item with wrap_content behaviour, i.e., where the width of each RelativeLayout is adapted to the length of the strings in the contained text views?
I bumped into a guy I know the other day and happened to notice he had a HTC desire. We had a brief chat about it and he showed me some of his apps. He had an app that can control torrent downloads on your PC. I forget what it was called. This would be a usefull app.

I found an app called droid shuffle, which sounded perfect but I can't get it to work on my Captivate. Basically I want to be able to press the mic button twice to advance to the next track. This and DRM are the only reasons I wish my droid was more iphoneish.

The results of this tests imples test_f() is not being inlined, even though it really is a prime candidate for it. It should also be possible to do this inlining at compile time.I investigated this further, and it turns out Dalvik doesn't do inlining at this date.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Android cell phone overrides my selection of vibrate mode and notification ringing volume (becomes the permanent settings) when pressing the side volume button. I was told by customer service ALL Android phones do this due to the Android operating system. First of all it true? Is there a way to force an Android smart phone to keep the receiving call volume at its intended volume setting and keep the "NEVER" vibrate selection from switching even when pressing the volume button (just want the volume button to control the audio level during a call)? In order to use cell phones for receiving emergency calls one should be able to force a phone to keep its intended receive call notification settings and not allow them to be accidently be changed by pressing an external button.

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
