[Q] AirMouse or GRemote app available? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an app similar to the Air Mouse for iPhone or GRemote for use with WP7? I use my phone to control my computer's pointer when streaming content to my tv. So anything that will let me control my computer over wifi would be nice.
Thanks.

I don't think such apps exist, but you might want to consider other ways of controlling streaming with your WP7, they might be actually better if you're streaming from a Windows PC.

Im getting my Omnia 7 next week. Is there no app to remote control Zune Software on the PC?

Yeah, there are several PPC -> PC remote controllers; both fully-fledged ones (TSC etc.) and multimedia-only ones (see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/awards/category_WandF_2006.asp?catid=41#RemoteMediaController ).
Also note that I've written several articles on the PC -> PPC control (that is, the opposite direction); see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=514&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for a complete roundup & comparison.
Anything like this?
Hi. Is there any software for my O2 Atom Pure that will allow me to present Powerpoint presentations on my Laptop with Bluetooth through my O2 Atom Pure? I am used to using the software called "Nokia Wireless Presenter" in my Nokia 6630. Surely, there must be a similar program for a Windows mobile device too.. Thanks folks. Please help me..

Remote control application

Hi,
Does anyone know a decent remote control application for the HD2?
By that I mean something to control Windows Media Player running on my PC from my phone.
I know I could use the remote desktop application but I'm looking for something more simple, like a basic remote with pause, play, volume, etc.
Either bluetooth or wifi run...
Thanks

[Q] (Q) any way to control transformer via pc or iphone?

I want to hook the transformer up to my PC to watch catch-up TV. Is there any way to control it via PC or iPhone?
Cheers
Just a thought: since you could control it via a bluetooth mouse/trackpad, you may be able to find an app for the iphone that allows it to mimic a bluetooth mouse (I'm sure I've seen these for android phones, no idea about iphones though). Then connect your iphone to the TF as a bluetooth mouse.

Is there a DLNA app for iPhone? If there is you can use skifta or iMediashare on the tablet and using your phone select content on the tablet and playback on the TV assuming you have a DLNA TV or converter. Or you could playback via the HDMI out cable too.
I use Gmote on my phone to control my laptop. I've been hoping that somebody would create something like it for controlling Android devices or modifying it to work on Android devices.

[Q] Remote Control Xoom with Another Android Device

Is it possible to remote control the Xoom with another Android device like a Desire or similar?
Rather than buying a bluetooth keyboard/mouse or something - I wanted to be able to hook it up to the TV and then remote control it to change Music/TV shows/movies etc.
Thanks
I have just bought my xoom yesterday and was wondering if this was possible. A google took me to your post.
I assumed this would be simple as they are both android play, and there are many android apps for controlling vlc, xbmc etc. so why not the xoom, seen a it does have a hdmi out
Vnc server on xoom then vnc viewer on phone posted a topic about this works like a charm but it can get laggy
sent from my Motorola XOOM
I did see that there is a vnc server. That i could install on the xoom but I don't want a full remote destop, just media controls. Is there even an application for this?

which VNC app was that - and also do you need to be rooted? the couple I glanced at said *ROOT*
I was actually thinking of this last night for a BT mouse (using my evo as a BT mouse on the xoom)
I am also looking for this.
My scenario is this:
I recently bought a cheap headrest holder so that the Xoom can be used as a backseat entertainment center, but it would of course be extra cool if I could use my rooted Desire Z/G2 as a remote from the frontseat to start/stop movies etc, maybe via Bluetooth or something.

that sounds awesome, i cant believe there isn't much out for this. Especially as the xoom has a hdmi out (which works flawlessly btw)
Bump
Hey, I've been searching for something similar. We just ditched cable and are using my Transformer as a media center. Would be great to use my DX as a remote to switch YouTube videos, etc. Anything out there? Still looking.
Wiimote
Just a thought. Wiimote Controller gives you a free down and dirty remote control. Not nearly as nice as a Bluetooth keyboard but its extremely cheap and cool for playing games on the big screen as well as controlling YouTube/leanback
There is an app that you can control your xoom with android phone.
DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
Check the market for an application named Tablet Remote.

this is exactly what you need.
I've been pondering something along these lines. Only I would use the new wifiDirect API. Only downside is both client and server would have to be wifiDirect capable.

Awesome idea. i´m searching for something like that since i have a xoom (and a lg optimus black, also wifiDirect compatible).
why not integrate a fallback to vnc if no wifiDirekt device? direct connection over vnc is simple if one device tethers to the other.

Remote Desktop + Surface RT + Windows 8

I don't see many posts about remote desktop but I've found that using my Surface RT + remote desktop to connect to my Windows 8 Pro computer at home is an amazing way to work. The touchscreen even works to navigate the remote computer.
And, since the micro hdmi on the surface supports 1080p, I can connect to a full size screen.
Does this actually work fine then? It's what I plan on doing tbh, I have a media centre PC under my TV that I want to install Windows 8 Pro on and use Remote Desktop.

it works very well. I do prefer the classic RDP client over the new RT one though because of easier touch gestures.

The screen on the htpc will lock when you rdp in. If you want to see the screen on the tv and your surface you'll have to use remote assistance.

Doesn't bother me too much... although it'd be good to have both, I just want tot have the option there to run Intel apps *if* I ever had the need.
It's actually awesome! I use Vuze a lot for movies and such. I have them saved on my computer, and use the network link to move them to my Surface. I was thinking I would need to do it thru the SD Card, but this is much easier

Is it possible to use the older RDP client and enable monitor spanning to remote connect using the tablets screen as well as a 1080p monitor?
For the sake of argument, could you use the remote desktop to use image editing software such as Photoshop through the Surface? Obviously, the screen is probably way too small in terms of both physical size and resolution to really be of much use but for less complex editing it would be awesome...
Absolutely. Bear in mind that the Surface RT doesn't have a stylus digitizer, so you'd be stuck with capacitive touch or mouse+keyboard for input (although now that I think about it, you can probably use a Wacom USB tablet with the Surface's USB port...) but in general, yes you could do this. I already have Remote Desktop pinned to my Surface's taskbar (along with Powershell, which also allows a different kind of remote access).

That is good to hear! My dilemma has been that I want a portable device so that I'm not glued to my desk for the majority of the day but the major obstacle has been finding a tablet that can actually do what my computer does. Remote Desktop sounds like an answer.
What would the frame rate be stable enough to remote my computer and remote desktop from work with no lag?
For example, internet browsing on chrome or watching a youtube video through remote desktop.

Or you can download google chrome and the app for remote desktop for chrome....Works pretty good for me.....should work fine for surface....or RT...
You should search the forum - there is a thread on Remote Desktop, and it explains how to use Remote Apps, which imho, is the best way to utilize x86 apps on your surface RT...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977545&highlight=remote+apps
I get little to no lag running Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc. For the few times that I actually need to run an x86, this is the way to go. Do not expect to stream movies, or music from your desktop - although, I guess it depends on your connection - I have my home laptop connected to Linksys G router (im sure if I upgraded to N, it might be faster).
I found an interesting company (Mikogo) who have launched a cloud based Windows 8 desktop (which is actually Windows Server 2012). This doesn't have a windows 8 app but runs through HTML. In theory this would be great as it says you can install your own apps so is less restrictive than Cloudon and Onlive Desktop if you've used those on other platforms.
I requested an account and could then access a desktop via HTML5 using IE on my Windows 8 PC. However it doesn't work on my Surface RT browser (Metro or desktop) as the mouse cursor is not captured for some reason (I've tried via the touchpad and a mouse via USB). Note that even on a PC the performance is slow, although this is a beta.
If anyone wants to try this out I'm curious why it doesn't work in the RT IE10 browser but it does on the desktop. I did feed this back to Mikogo but they don't have an RT device to use (they suggested I try another browser on RT )
VNC has already been ported. Does the job, can be controlled by either device PC or RT.
