need to control phone from pc via bluetooth or wifi

i have tried google and was surprised to not find anything. all i could find was a way to control phone via usb, and a whole lot of ways to control the pc via the phone. both are unacceptable. i need to control the phone from my computer via bluetooth or wifi. i am too poor to afford a wireless speaker system and this will accomplish the same thing (for my needs at least).
is there a known app, or some other way, i can control my phone from the computer wirelessly? the only thing i really need as an option is to be able to control playing music. if there is an app specific for that, awesome. if there are apps that offer more control, even better! but at a minimum, media player control is needed..
thanks for your time.

Just tried this out tonight on my g1 for fun. Pretty much can do anything on the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748914
Its free in the market.

thanks. that is pretty nifty. unfortunately there is that issue with US phone where you can connect directly to it.. makes it pretty slow. the changes happen on my phone pretty quickly (within 1 second usually) after input, but the update on the computer is pretty delayed.
this will do for now. if anyone has an alternative, please let me know!

Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, does exactly that, so you can control phones from a PC, this provides you an external keyboard and mouse, and you can view your device on the PC's screen:

[Q] mycloud remote desktop

Hey guys,
I'm considering getting a transformer and I'm really interested in the remote desktop feature of the myCloud app that is included. It isn't specified, but I kind of get the impression that you can only access computers on the same network. Is this true? If it is, it kind of makes the feature a little bit useless.. If I'm on the same network, I'm obviously close to the computer so I could just walk over there and use the computer rather than trying to control it through my tablet. If I could use it anywhere though - at university, for example - this could be very useful. Have any of you guys tried this out yet?
It's also too bad that it doesn't work with linux.. but oh well. I can always use ssh for that, I guess. Sometimes having an actual GUI is kind of nice though.
Thanks,
Sam

Do I need to install any software on the remote machine for this to work?
Or it works just like the mstsc.exe program in window?
Thanks.

I haven't used it since I don't have a transformer(yet anyway), but I believe that there is some software you need to install on the pc first. The myCloud app should come pre-installed on the transformer though.

It's Splashtop, which IMO is the best (local?) remote desktop software. It's very fast, like very very fast, and it transmits sound. I use it on my iPhone to listen to driver radios during NASCAR races. If you want something that works no matter where you are, buy LogMeIn.

Oh, I see.
Why do ASUS bother with this when there are tons of app out there that do this?

Because they got a license with Splashtop. Splashtop costs money normally, but they are including it free.
Who knows, or cares why. It's an awesome piece of software.

From the demo video, it is very fast. Unfortunately, I don't think I can use it to connect to my work PC.
What I usually do with my Windows 7 laptop
1. VPN to my company network
2. Remote desktop to my work PC using mstsc.exe
3. Do my work from there.
Is there a way to do this using a Honeycomb tablet without having to install any third party software on my work PC?
Thanks.

No, not with the app ASUS includes. You have to install the splashtop software and you have to be on a local network.

Well there are remote apps in the android market place - I don't know what mstsc is, but some of them work with the standard windows 7 remote desktop protocol, ie you don't need to install anything on the pc

Do you remember the name of that app? I hope it works with Win XP also (we still have XP at work).
I will to wait until I get my hands on the Transformer to try this out.

I use RemoteRDP on my Droid Incredible to connect to Windows via Remote Desktop. (RDP = remote desktop protocol) Also, mstsc.exe is the executable in Windows for remote desktop.
RemoteRDP has a free version that only allows you to connect to one computer. I bought the full version to connect to multiple computers. Setup a little port forwarding on your home router, and you're good to go!
..I'm still hoping the mynet software including the Asus splashtop will have some middle-hosting capability similar to gotomypc or logmein.com so it won't be LAN only... but I have no data to base that on, just a hope and guess!

I'm 98% sure it does not. It's just a renamed version of Splashtop.

Confirmation for you all that the newest update adds Splashtop for free. Other updates/faults I've listed HERE if you are interested.

If it was not included just flash the latest firmware on the Asus site.

I didn't think I'd get so much use out of it, since I usually only remote into my home systems when I'm away from home. However, I've actually found myself using it to watch cable in the bedroom when my wife is watching something else on the actual TV. I start Windows Media Center on my desktop that has a tuner, and am simply amazed at how well it performs. Video is as high-quality as if I was watching it on the desktop.
Also, note that Asus has stated that a version will be coming this summer that supports access from remote networks. I doubt that it will perform as well as it does locally, but if they can get even close to the same performance it will be a great solution.
This is another of those little surprises that have me loving the TF so much. Asus has put a lot of work into making a truly useful machine, in my opinion.

You need to go to asus website and manually download the new firmware for your region. Then you'll get myCloud.

Control Mouse with Android Phone

I was wondering if there was an app that I could install on my Transformer and my Android phone that would let me control the mouse on the Transformer with my phone. I know using VNC is an option but I would just like to control the mouse so when i hook my Transformer up to my tv I can use my phone as a wireless mouse.

Hey, I was thinking the same thing. But that the phone is just a controller, not a mouse. So it would have the buttons, play, pauze, rew/forw, volume up, volume down, and so on..

Exactly!

there was an app i used about a year or so ago... it basically turned your entire phone screen into a touchpad with left and right click buttons, you just had to be on wifi...
i'll have to dig it up and see if i can remember the name of the app.

that sounds like just what i need!

It's gmote, and it's for phone to desktop, not android to android device. There isn't an app that you want yet since before there was no point in having a remote control app to control another android device since they were all phones.

Alright guess i'll try VNC til someone makes an app for this.

?
how does vnc do this?
i am looking for a way to use my android phone as a keyboard/mouse for my transformer. i have used gmote in the past and that's the idea that i'm looking for, but obviously to control honeycomb tablet not a pc. glad to see i'm not the only one in the market for such an app!

This app actually exists....but only for the Archos line of internet tablets. Check out the Archos Remote app on the Market. Allows you to use any Android 1.6+ device as a media playback remote for the Archos if it's on the same wifi network. As well as the app, a firmware upgrade was required on the Archos itself, and at present the Archos tablets are all running Froyo.

I just tried this yesterday. Just install BlueputDroid and all your problems will be solved. No reason to be on wifi.

tried to use this but the app says my bluetooth stack isnt supported, so it doesnt even try to go.

Unfortunately Blueputdroid won't work cuz my phone is an HTC Desire HD that has Sense. Bluetooth has issues with Sense. I'll continue my search...

You can run a VNC Server on a rooted Android product allowing you to log into it and run it remotely from a phone or computer.

If your phone is rooted, try Webkey:

You install it on your phone, and then you can access your phone from any web browser, like your transformer

+1, I couldn't remember the name of it until you posted .

It's still in beta, and you need to be rooted, but it may work for your phone. You'll just have to get a vnc viewer on your transformer to use it.

Awesome...works perfectly!

If you have problems with vnc servers, whether your device is rooted or NOT, you can now try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, which allows you to view and control any android devices using vnc viewers or browser, rooting is NOT required.

Just downloaded this, amazing app!!

You could also try Airdroid. Put Airdroid on the phone and go to the IP it lists on the tablet's browser.

iDisplay

so im sure youve seen idisplay, extend your pc screen onto your android device but the software costs a few bucks.
is there a free alternative to idisplay?

Sort of like a remote viewer? Try Teamviewer, free remote access to your computer. I use it all the time for personal use and to help friend and family with their computers.

nope, it uses your android device or ios or watever as another computer monitor

Well Teamviewer would viewer would work for that, it just can also control it.

Teamviewer only shows the CURRENT desktop screen, it doesn't allow you to extend to a second desktop.
There is unfortunately no alternative as of yet, and I HAVE been looking.

Try ZoneOS ZoneScreen+VNC.
