How to use the computer keyboard on the HD2? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Is there anyway to redirect computer keyboard input from the computer to the HD2? This would be useful to type texts in the device using my computer keyboard.
I don't want something like My Mobiler since I don't want to see the whole screen but only to redirect input.
After all, I just want to use my keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard, but using and activesync usb connection...

Bluetooth ...burp

Thanks, but that applications does not seem to let me type an SMS using my computer keyboard (at least from the description)...

It does.
Try it, and uninstall it if I am lying. I've updated the link to the developer's website.

Mymobiler is a great app to access windows phone with computer, you can do all kinds of stuff there including download weather info by wifi from computer instead of GPRS.

I know that, but I don't want full control over the device, just being able to text...
If you're already connected to wifi, why would you need your computer to update weather info?

I have WiFi Remote Access installed on my HTC HD2. How exactly does it allow the use of a PC keyboard to be used through it on my HD2? I've looked and looked and see no setting for using a PC keyboard.

Bump......

Try some remote contrl app so you can use any function of your phone on your computer...
But I'm not sure whether there is any working with wireless connection.

Download version 1.7 and you can send sms messages via your pc (hence you can use your pc keyboard).

Too bad I cannot make this work because of my wireless network settings. I have a very secured access using MAC filters so that is probably why. The 1.7 is only a trial version right? It says on the website it has a timebombthat will go off sometime in June. Besides this app, any other app that can do the same thing? Thanks.

No, 1.7 Beta 2 is timebombed (it has more features). R1 is stable and works like a charm.
Visit here for the detail.
Why the need for such secure MAC filters? Do you work for the NSC or something? Why not relax your settings, give it a try... if you don't like Wifi Remote Access' features, then ditch it and secure your router like Fort Knox again.

dude just try pocket controller, its great i use it to see my device on my screen and controll it fully, it even lets me skin the session with the right device skin..

How did you know who I worked for??? Lol. My router is weird, I cannot connect to my network if I disable MAC filtering, which is really annoying since I have to add every single device that I want to connect. It took me a while to get that router figured out and I don't want to lose my connection so maybe I will try this app at work.

Okay, have 1.7 installed and still don't see the keyboard options.
Eh...it's on the desktop application under Remote Controls. It requires an access code, which would cause the program to likely be disabled after a period of time. I'll stick with the basic app.

hi, yeah sorry i mean to remote control a win7 pc, I cant find anything on marketplace called logmein, only comes up with phonemypc which ive tried and dont like.
How do i get this "logmein" ?
there was a .apk download somewhere here on the xda site, do a search for "logmein ignition beta" or something like that. you will also need a logmein account, its free and you need to download and install a virtually invisible program on your computer.
ok so it would seem that the beta is over (strange as mine is still running fine) but if you go here https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/android/, you might find what you are looking for when it is released, unless anyone else can find the download link.

Hmm the only one I've actually liked is phonemypc. Sure it doesn't have sound and no login support yet, but nothing beats getting to see your pc screen on your phone with 20 fps
I've also tried Remote RDP, but it didn't give me anywhere near the framerates of phonemypc on my part, plus setting up RDP is more of a pain if you want to use it over 3G.

Gmote basically turns your phone into a mouse control for a HTPC...
not the same thing...
Can someone describe the differences between phonemypc and logmein? I currently use phonemypc and like it, but if there's something that would suite me better, I'd switch.

Not true, my friend uses it to control windows media center, you have to make the remote how you want it, he said its not obvious at first but once you figure it out you can program virtually any command in

xtralogic.com/rdpclient.shtml
Gmote is a great start: Stream music from the computer to the phone, Control PowerPoint, Use as a mousepad, Use to control windows media player, Use keyboad on phone to type on computer (Don't know why you would but neat anyway), Free version available but only us$2.99....BUT only on the wifi network, not remote thru cell towers..Xtralogic's Remote Desktop Client is a complete RDP with password protect and can be use anywhere!! BUT is US$19.95.....So there are 2 options depending on what suits your needs...Hope that helps!!!

What you should do is google 'RDP' and then see if your definition works along the lines of GMotes functionality.
To answer your question in short, no it doesnt.

I tried a couple of rdc's and Phonemypc was the best. Its one of my three favorite apps. Setup is an absolute breeze and the developer says sound will be added. Picture is great watching video so after sound it'll be perfect.
Hey people, thanks for the comments, I tried gmote it doesnt even recognise a simple .avi file on my Pc, was easy to setup and connect but i need it to play movies.
Does anyone have a .apk of the xtralogic rdp??

Posting of the .apk is not allowed because it is a paid app. But I agree, I have tried every other RDP client for android, and this is tops. If you need great RDP support on your phone, its worth it.

webkey (root required) for control over phone
lazydroid & remote web desktop for sending SMS from computer and a few other features
they can be found in the market
I use Remote Web Desktop for SMS, which is the main reason I used MyMobiler to control my WinMo phone, but I still have to go on my phone to mark the messages read and to read them because there is a delay from when I get the message on my phone and when it shows up in Remote Desktop.
It would be really nice is there was a way to operate unrooted phones...
"my phone explorer" is pretty good and supports android,

Remote Desktop App

anyone know which remote desktop app is good? im looking for app to control my desktop through 3g network (not wifi). Please let me know your opinions. which is worth the money and the better free apps.
Was a thread a couple days ago...i downloaded remote desktop and it works great for me
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i'm looking for the best one too. i'm currently using phonemypc and it seems ok but it's a bit laggy even over wifi.
I'm using WYSE or something like that. Works good so far and it's free.

do you know if it can connect over 4g? or any program that can connect over 4g?
ive been using myphonepc aswell. super easy setup when you want to add another computer.
phone my pc is amazing, over 3g it's quick and over wifi it's super speedy even on the highest quality. The ease of use is very nice, and my favorite feature is that since it's essentially just VNC and not remote desktop it doesn't force you to log out the current user session like when you connect over remote desktop. Totally worth the $10 it costs, 5/5 score
LogMeIn Ignition Beta is actually on the market believe it or not, FOR FREE!
It's just I forgot where I found it. You can browse through the market and download it, it's just when you search it's not found. I remember going @[email protected] when I saw it as I didn't think it existed. this was like 2 days ago
AWW crap its a closed beta I should have kept the APK!!!

Man I downloaded that online -_-
Man i wish I would have not restored my Evo i swear I downloaded it off of Market like 2 days ago logged in and used it and everything
when i downloaded it , it was free beta
I use Xtralogic's remote desktop and love it! That WYSE app is nice too.
I think there is a lot of missing information being provided here by people.
I have used LogMeIn and PhoneMyPC, but the latter doesn't allow for logging in and the former did not let me do any mouse clicks.
Which of these apps actually fully works (log on, mouse clicks, etc.) with the EVO and that fact that it does not have a tackball to act as the mouse?
Ceger
Well, no one asked those specific questions... The Xtralogic Remote Desktop app, uses the screen like ur laptop touchpad... mouse clicks work the same way. The WYSE app, allows u to click by pressing what u want to click, kinda like doing to natively from the phone... why not just download them and see for urself?
I can logon using both, btw

Thanks for the feedback!
Tried WYSE, but seemed slow using VCN. Not sure I want to try Remote Desktop as I do not want to have to use RDC services as it logs you out of your current PC session.
I have just noticed that PhoneMyPC has been upgraded to have Logon Support, but the current version is having network issues, in that it cannot connect at all. Since I had bought that previously, I will probably wait for that to be corrected.

You get what you pay for. It's not cheap but I bought the xtralogic rdp also and I must say I am BLOWN AWAY. Over WiFi its smooth as butter. It's not perfect over 3g but works well enough. I love how you can define the screen resolution.

[Q] Anyone knows an app to control phone from pc?

Been searching everywhere for an app that will allow me to control my phone from the pc. Really need this due to my disability(and having just bought a massive galaxy tab).
I used to use my mobiler on winmo and it was great!
Would be willing to pay for the app also.

Hi mcnally,
I have successfully used 'droid VNC server' in the past.
What VNC client are you using on your desktop? I have used tightvnc, realvnc and ultravnc (they all do the same thing, just differently)
I had assumed that keyboards & mice were configured automatically, but there can be a "view only" option that may have stopped your keyboard & mouse from interacting.
Also - sometimes VNC is quite laggy, so laggy it looks like its not responding! your client should have a setting to reduce the color depth, this transmits less data & can help the lag but you loose colours. There may also be settings to reduce data transfer further, like handling the mouse on the client side etc...

dude..if u use virtual router...then u should alsoo know abt the "virtual router could not be started"
this is really one of the scarest pblm.. coz jus type in the google and see the intensity of the problem!!
BTW
it is not ad-supported and doesnot collect any user stats
the best part i can recommend is that,NO NEED TO INSTALL IT
soo that al the major issues can be avoided
u will share the network via build in service which is present @W7.... nothing new...
tryng the simplst way is better i think dude...i apolozise if i was wrng

Two friendly suggestions and a question:
1) Produce a more "professional" and well-made tutorial video. For example, choose more "neutral" music and you might want to consider using voice narration instead of text.
2) For the "Setup Hotspot" function, if possible you should move to a GUI like in Virtual Router Manager instead of the current command prompt text interface. It looks and feels so 1980s.
3) What is the security encryption method used by this app? Hopefully WPA2
I use this open source app for the same (For windows 7+)
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
I occassionally have to stop/start the service but otherwise it works fine.

yes.still not connected.probably my university blocking the network sharing
yeah.That might be reason.
But once you restart the system and and disable/enable the wifi and also the sharing.
Try to adjust the LAN settings too.
It might work! why dont you give a try?
