Hey,
Im looking for a Application for my HD2.
Which allows me to use my phone as a mouse for my PC at home.
Logitech has something like that for Iphone but i just cant find it for my HD2.
Hope anyone can help me
GRemote Pro

Absolutely FANTASTIC, particularly with a capacitive touchscreen (like the HD2).
I just installed G-remote and am typing this using my phone as a mouse and keyboard to control my PC.
great application but some of the symbols seem to be messed up at the minute. sure I can sort that out in the settings somehow though
Found this app useful especially when using the HDMI out. It basically turns your (rooted) Android phone into a bluetooth touchpad and keyboard which works with the transformer.

That's awesome. I'll be sure to try it when I receiver mine.

Are u looking for a mouse in phone? I did not follow the thread but if u need that u can find different app in android market such as v:mote or ' mouse in blue'
hope this help
Have you succeeded controlling your TF(from you android phone) using this app? If you did its awesome! Its exactly what I was looking for
So awesommeeeeee just what I wantedddd.
i looked on the market but most seem to be for controlling pcs rather than other android devices such as tablets.
Or does the fact it uses bluetooth make no difference as to what device it contects to and its just not mentioned in program description on market.
Thanks.
Jason.
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..

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.
I use XMouse - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stripe1.xmouse - for remote control of my laptop from my phone. Linux-only, but windows versions of similar programs exist, of course.
I haven't found anything similar for smartwatches. In principle it'd only be useful as a mousepad, and a small one at that, but I think it'd be cool. Has anyone found anything similar?

Well I think we people are trying to do so much with these smartwatches that are not intented for. I can not see any use for what you are describing especially practicality of it. First of all, any app that you use on the watch is actually running on the phone. So if you want to remotely control your PC, just use the phone itself. Using your watch for that purpose will be extremely slow and would be much of an hassle rather than convenient. The touchscreen on the watch is nowhere close to the sensitivity of the touchsreen of any modern day smartphone. That is another issue. If you are really keen on using it as a mousepad only, without seeing anything on the watch, maybe than it maybe faster but than again it has to first communicate with the phone than the phone will communicate with the PC so again there will be hell of a lag...
But my answer to your question is I don't know any app that can do that at the moment.
It depends on what you wanna do
Well, that might answer your question. As far as I know, no "mouse" exists on watch but that doesn't mean you can't control your PC with your watch.
You might use Unified Remote, tasker and it's smartwatch's version. Unified remote is an app that enables you to control your PC wirelessly from your phone (for example, you can play or pause windows media center, launch any program...), very useful and customizable with paid version. Then, tasker is a really really useful app (maybe a bit hard to understand at first) with which you'll be able to activate only few options of your apps. Tasker live extension shows these options on the watch. I've never tried myself but give it a try and let us know.
I don't know if it's clear enough but, for example, I use sonos system (those are speakers connected to wifi that you control with a special app on your phone), using tasker and tasker extension, I can control sonos (play, pause, skip, volume,...) using my watch.
Of course, as the guy above me said, this will never as easy and fast as on your phone. However there are apps that are intended for controlling your PC.
PS : excuse me for my not-that-good-english.
I'm well aware of unified remote and tasker, I've bought tasker since years ago.
The problem is that there's no real way to translate mousepad-type movements to instructions. I have an idea using multiple hotzones in a UCCW widget so that the further away the touch is from the center of the screen, the further the mouse moves. Like a touch nib, the lenovo type.
In answer to the usefulness, why not use it to remote control the phone, not the pc? Android devices can be fairly big nowadays. Mine is 7.7 inches, if I had a 10 inch tab I can see wanting to put it up on the table, lean back, and remote control it.

you can already do this, buy logitec wireless mouse and keyboard with the unify usb dongle, I have this for my laptop and it works on my Z1, I have a usb adaptor with a full size usb socket on the end and micro usb on the other - plugging into my Z1 gives full control using the mouse and keyboard

Well, my objective is to use what I'm already wearing rather than carry more gadgets =) already use a wireless mouse myself sometimes. Having peripherals which are the same size as my tablet isn't fun though

As soon as I find one, I WILL let you know
I'm on a quest to find an app that can REMOTE CONTROL my phone like a mouse or track pad...and as soon as I find it or build it...I will let everyone know about it. FOR THOSE OF YOU good for nothing, pessimist, dream killers, lack of vision, non-dreamers ...I say this...SOME OF US advanced business, guru, tech-geeks have projector phones or need to do presentations and have a phone machine that can do it. Besides my 2013 retina macbook pro or my i7 HP laptop, which im sure could do a fine job presenting or showing presentations through its screen or projector (attachment), I prefer to minimize my load of carrying stuff, specially when I ride my R6 to work meetings. So Mr. ngoonee YOU KEEP on searching and as soon as I find this coveted app I will let you know. Cheers

I guess I am one of those dream killers you mention. First of all, I am not trying to discourage anyone trying to do anything.
You can for sure use smartwatch as a presentation controller with buttons like the Logitech ones. It will work. But for practicality, I simply don't see sw2 being used as a mousepad. It is just my opinion and you don't have to agree with me.
So good luck with your search/app development.

If you don't understand it it's not meant for you, only works with an X server meaning for Linux computers (possibly can be used for X apps in a mac)

Well, basically....
1) SSH on the laptop
2) Profit
If you don't understand that then don't bother.

Hi Guys,
Is anyone aware of an app, that can be installed on my android phone, so I can navigate my new Android TV boxes?
I dont really want to have to buy yet another remote for it, if I can just run it through an app.
I find lots of apps that allow you to act as a mouse and keyboard for windows, but I only want it for android.
Ideally it would have the standard remote buttons on it, but if not, just a mouse and keyboard would do!
