General :: Control PC Using Android Without Server Software?
Sep 6, 2012
I've messed with many different apps on my Android phone that, in conjunction with a server app, allow me to control my PC with my phone. I'm curious though if there is a hardware solution that does the same thing and doesn't require any server software to be installed on the PC?
Here's my idea. A dongle that's plugged into your PC and is recognized as a generic HID device. The dongle then connects to your phone via BT. Then using an app on the phone, you can now use your phone as a keyboard, mouse, or PowerPoint controller.
This would be great for times when you don't have admin rights on the PC needing controlled and wouldn't be able to install a piece of software, but you can at least hook up a mouse or keyboard and they work. I have to do a lot of PowerPoint presentations at school and would love to just simply pop a dongle into the PC and almost immediately be able to start controlling the presentation from my phone.

I'm looking for an app that is like Gmote but will allow me to communicate with my computer over my 3g internet line instead of wireless. Is there anything like that? will those paid apps that allow one to control their home computer via closed network do it?

I was looking for per-application control over retry until and other license settings from the developer console. This appears not to be available. Do I implement a more lenient ServerManagedPolicy by twiddling with these settings and associated preferences in ProcessServerRequest? My app operates fine in airplane mode, and I can anticipate it being used for extended periods of time where internet connectivity is unavailable.

I have a hosting account at godaddy ruinning Linux. Is has MySQL. I am creating a J2ME application that runs on android and I was wondering if there is any simpler way to connect from j2me application to my MySQL server?
Is it required to install anything at my server? which I cannot do because of the shared account. Any way to just open the connection, update some data in the MySQL from j2me application?

Can we use ANY Android device to replace a WiiRemote (even partially?)
I believe the Motion Sensor requires IR but the actual connection is Bluetooth.
there was a forum post on the EVO forum specificaly talking about using the EVO for this purpose but I wanted to open it up to any and all devices (with Bluetooth)
EVO Post: [URL] .....
It would be useful on all non-MotionControl Wii Apps like classic games Emulated classic games & TV/Movie apps like Netflix -- none of which requires the Motion Sensor.

I'd like to use iPhone/iPad as a set of virtual mouse and keyboard for an Android Mini PC. Something similar to apps like Remote Mouse [URL] or Mobile Mouse [URL].

Last night i have downloaded Dolphin to play Wii Games. As you can imagine, play with the mouse is not as comfortable to emulate Wiiremote.
My idea is basically:
Control WII emulator with Android Sensors (As accelerometer, gyroscope, inclinometer) like Wiimote does
It seems to be quite interesting, I think that may be connectable by wifi and bluetooth with receiver (pc).

I am looking for a way to remote control my android device (Motorola Xoom & Motorola Droid). I assume this will have to occur via Bluetooth but I am open to any option (wifi?)I'd like the following functionality in the remote:
- Launch Music Player
- Launch Maps / Navigation
- Play / Pause / Next Track / Previous track
- Launch Voice Search
- Launch text search
The official motorola Xoom Bluetooth keyboard has physical buttons for many of these operations (maybe not navigation or voice search) but this device is far too large to use as a 'remote'
My ideal situation would be to find a small Bluetooth remote designed for something like this. I've been looking at getting a Wiimote and the app that allows you to map its keys to keystrokes. Are there keyboard shortcuts for these operations?
I also noticed many of the keyboard shortcuts require the 'Search' key (i.e. Search+'b' launches the browser). What if I got a generic bluetooth keyboard without a 'Search' key - what is the alternative keypress?

Is there any way to control from outside an Android which screen has become nuts ?
I have a chinesse phone ( and MTK 6573) which touch screen has become nuts (most of it has become unresponsive and often a continuos touch imput is detected in the center-left side of the screen). So, it has become useless...
The thing is, I would like to access to it, in any way, to recover some of the data I have on it. Also, becouse I try to disasemble, volumen key seem not working. How could I connect to it ?
I tought of the mimobiler, but I need to enable it trought touch and hadn't been able I tought backing up and restoring in another mobile (an MTK6577), but volumen key not working for ColckWorkRecovery would be to control it from mouse or similar, in a way that does not affect the missfuncionality of the touch screen (should be disable I presume). But anything that allows me to recover the saved phones (several got stored in mobile instead of google account), and a couple of apps data (a fianace data and a notes app) would be great something like remote-titanium-backup ?

I want to control the Media Player on my Nexus One from my PC. This is exactly the opposite of what is done by GMote. This will let me keep my Nexus One connected with speakers from my PC and still play songs on it. Searched a while in Google and XDA, but couldn't find one.

My task is a simple one. Create a bit of code that will run on my computer and turn on and off airplane mode on my phone connected via USB.
Is it possible to write this code in C++? I can code java, I just don't care for it as much.
I have looked into various methods of controlling my phone via the PC.
Webkey and VNC both use network connections to access my phone, and androidscreencast did not work for me. (I have a rooted droid 4, but it did not give me any mouse or keyboard functionality like it was supposed to.

I recently spotted my 9 year old son searching for inappropriate stuff inside the Google Chrome app. Is it possible to restrict the browser so that when he googles certain words, it wouldn't bring out any results? I've seen programs that do that but I can't recall any of them. Oh, and he's using the original Nexus 7.

I want certain apps (games etc) to be exempt from Android's auto closing algorithm, or at least be asked for permission when the system wants to close an inactive app. Is there any app that can do this?

For windows, you can write a program which moves the mouse pointer and sends keyboard/mouse clicks. Is the same possible in Android?

What I need is a way to control Android device (s) from PC via Wi-Fi. I found a lot of apps (and Desktop programs) to do it, but I didn't found a way to View OR control the Android device WITHOUT ROOT. I work on the company which asked me to find a way to do this without root with their Android devices. After googling a lot I started to think that where is no way to do this, because either way I need to root them . Is it true or maybe there is somewhere an app which could do this? It doesn't care if it's paid or not.
I have downloaded and tester these apps:
MyMobiler - Doesn't work because when I restart Android device, app doesn't start WiFi, just keyboard mode only. I need that when the app starts it should run itself and start WiFi automatically.
VMLite VNC Server - Don't know why but it didn't worked for me. Just cannot start server from the browser.

Is it possible to control an Android device with a Bluetooth headset? I have a friend with a Windows phone who can listen to and reply to text messages as well as initiate calls through his bluetooth headset without touching the phone. It's very very cool, and I don't know that my Android has an answer to it. I would love to be able to do this on my Android and to use Evi through my bluetooth device. I have FlexT9 from Nuance, but it seems to require that I speak into the phone's microphone, as does Evi.
I have a rooted HTC Thunderbolt running das Bamf (don't remember the version) and a Plantronics Voyager Pro headset (same headset my friend with the Windows phone uses to control his phone).

I am looking for a code-heavy way of controlling an android phone with scripts. For example, can you hook your android up to your PC and then control it virtually as if you were doing everything with your finger using scripts?
In my mind I imagine the code would look something like this (this is fake code):
1. var i = 30px;
2. Touch the screen at coordinates x, y;
3. Scroll to cords x, y minus i;
4. Touch the screen at cords x, y;
5. Swipe to cords x + 80, y;
6. Single click cords x, y;
7. if (cords x, y = rgb(0, 0-255,0) { //aka a shade of green
8. var count = count++ }

I've been searching for a solution to put together an Android based torrent server. I've been using uTorrent on my Nexus 4 and it's a great little machine for that, but of course 16GB is a bit small for storage. I was looking at solutions like the ODroid to have a super low power system that could run 24/7.
I know that running torrents off an external USB drive is a good way to burn the drive out with all the accessing for seeding, etc... would there be able software solutions that would download torrents, seed them and when that quota is met move the files over to an external drive? Or would there be any way of connecting a drive via eSATA or something that would make the drive less susceptible to burning out?
I suppose I could just run an android device with a large microSD card and then manually move the files over.

I'm looking to run a VPN server on my Android device so that I can set up a virtual network adapter on my PC to connect to the same network as my Android's wifi. I've seen plenty of Android VPN clients, but no server software.
Is there any software out there to run a VPN server on an android device?
I've heard OpenSSH runs an L2/L3 VPN, but I everything I can find on getting OpenSSH running on Android is all about ftp, and they usually wind up running an alternative. Is there a release of OpenSSH I can use on android for the purpose stated?
