I often use my HTPC w/ my boxee app, however, the problem is my PC requires a login because I also like to remote desktop in. I'd like to be lazy and log in from the couch w/o getting up and logging in on the keyboard
Is there an app that logs into the pc from the login screen? I'd like to login from my android device but also able to see the screen on the TV. This would also be useful if ppl are watchin a movie and I have to sit on the can for a few mins, I can watch it on my nook color
any help plz?
I thing I got wat u are saying not sure, install teamviewer both on computer and phone. Put in the access code and there u can see ur pc on ur phone
Sent from my Droid
Ok, seems like it'll work, but my major issue is the following:
1) I press power button on PC
2) I sit on couch wait for PC to boot up
3) I need to type in my password
so.....
Is there a way to have VNC run/start up from the beginning at the login screen? Otherwise, I have to log in to PC (via keyboard) and then the VNC app will work, correct?
Essentially - I'm trying to avoid using the keyboard but would still like to keep my PC password protected.

The ddms tool in the Android SDK will get screen captures over USB Debug of course.
Anything remotely?
I don't think it's possible without root because you need to take snapshots of your phone and taking snapshots needs root. (unless you use ddms)
Zeam launcher can take screenshots of your home screen (not tested by me). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
But I think you are talking about live watching your mobile screen on PC, aren't you?
Most of these live view server take pictures of your screen and send it over the internet. There is also the issue with port forwarding. The only service that has pulled off remote screen viewing server without port forwarding has been teamviewer.

Teamviewer exists for Android? I'm fine with the picture taking...
This is fairly new to the forum if you haven't seen it.. but it does require root.

Does not have to be over USB. ADB can connect via TCP.
Code:
- disconnect device from usb then tell it to listen on 4455
adb tcpip 4455
restarting in TCP mode port: 4455
- connect to the device using a specified ip:port. my device is using wifi
adb connect 192.168.1.103:4455
connected to 192.168.1.103:4455
- now do normal adb commands over tcp
adb shell
- when your done, you can put it back in USB mode
adb usb
restarting in USB mode
You can also set an environment variable called ADBHOST with the IP address and adb will attempt to connect to that ip.
Now I am not sure if DDMS can connect to the device over tcpip, but if adb can, and ddms uses adb to connect, it should be possible.
BUMP. Any success here?
Its been a while, was wondering if there have been any solutions to this.

Android ScreenControl without root
Have a look at this ... Its something I have been working on ...
http://piglings.blogspot.com/2011/08/android-screen-control-without-root.html
Hope that helps !
Cheers,

I found this and thought it will be helpful as I ended up on this thread during my search.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
Follow this link: it has everything.
http://www.mymobiler.com/
So far only PC is supported I think.
The app also gives you the ability to use your PC keyboard remotely over wifi, it also has shortcuts for home, menu, back, etc.
The one thing that you might need to figure out is the display option in the mobile app settings.
I chose to keep it #3 - others ... that's the only way I can see the screen on my razr maxx!!
Also, if you are having weird screen problems, the website has the FAQ section and other pages to tweak the settings so that it works fine!!
Now it is a bit slow ... but none the less very useful ... I use it to change music while my phone's connected to speakers and chatting with people on Viber/WeChat/WhatsApp ... comes in pretty handy!!
Hope this helps!! cheers!!

Linux – Remote Desktop Viewer (use the command line). Remote Desktop Viewer is pre-installed in Ubuntu.
nice, I've already tried this, but it's not responsive enough
I try and is wonderful
Inviato dal mio GT-I9001 usando Tapatalk
I tried this on my Motorola Droid.
For Windows, I had some trouble getting it to work. Tight VNC works, RealVNC does not. You have to play with the colors and settings a little bit (it doesn't like compression).
Useful, but not useful enough for me to want to leave it running all the time....
little bit slow, but worth it
didnt work for me. Ultra VNC and TightVNC and I played with settings. Most I got was a black screen. VNC server thing is like stuck so I revoked permissions etc. Even rebooted to get it out for sure. Now did those adb commands just leave my ports exposed? how do I ensure they are closed? For me too, I got no keyboard to put a password for the server.
Update...Ok it works, but that VNC thing is buggy on my Nexus.. I don't see anything but a black screen. If I click in approximate location of where the buttons are to stop and start server i click the button on my nexus. So I got no display and I fiddled with the settings and cannot get it working from my pc with UltraVNC or Tightvnc.. Oh well.
I'd also would like to know about the adb commands opening ports on my phone. I want to make sure those are closed, so I'd appreciate a way to confirm that. It will be cool when/if I can vnc to my phone. Not sure why you would want to but regardless it would be fun to do.
I just use TeamViewer to connect droid to laptop, i leave my laptop at home on Wi-Fi signal all the time and connect to my laptop thatway i can browse and download torrents on a whim, access all my files and use ftp to transfer to phone i can access any kind of file on my phone because i installed Download All Files
Worked for me, defy+ and TightVNC on Ubuntu
Slow, but great!
Is there an app that will let me "remote desktop" into another phone? My mom also has an android device (HTC Rezound). But she can't even set the clock on her VCR (yes, VCR) let alone manage her phone. I would like to be able to remote control it to do stuff for her. I do this same thing with her computer using VNC or RDP. It doesn't matter if my end uses my phone or PC, as long as I can remote control her phone. Preferably without root.

I think the title says most of it...
IE connect to IPADDRESS fill in the blank with 192.168.1.x of phone.
The Long And the Short is that i DO NOT want to create a airdroid account.
I Fully understand the limitations that put's on the functionality.
really the only thing i need is when i sit down at the computer to be able to access my phone...
yes VNC and some of the other options can work.. but they have issues as well for text i like the airdroid.
i would love to test the remote screen function (s4 rooted).
Great app...

I getting the same thing as I can't connect via USB... nor this app can connect to may Android WiFI since there is NO login to my secured WIFI on this app itself.
And, , ,

Did you find any SUPPORT anywhere?
I have an xperia c4 which is marshmallow 6.0 and a windows 10 desktop pc. I will be 500 km away from home for a while. The thing is, I want to be able to browse some stuff on my pc from far away, once I get the computer on I know I can do it with chrome remote desktop but I want to know how can I do the pre-work so I can get the computer on with phone from 500 km away. Any info is appreciated thanks in advance. I know that wake on lan thing btw but I think it needs both devices on same network I assume?

this is what I'd personally use. Teamviewer has the option to start even before being logged into the PC allowing you to connect then login and access files and such.

But I don't think it has the option to turn on/off the PC remotely, it can only access remotely. They want control so they don't have to leave their PC on all the time that they are gone, they want to turn it on remotely to access it remotely then turn it off when they are done.

True.
OP You need to check your Bios For a wake on alarm funtion to turn on at a specfic time of day or a wake on lan function in your bios.
Obviously the Alarm function has some limits that being that It will only turn back on at a specific time of day and you'll have to wait until then if its been shut off. Another thing you could do I mentioned above is if your bios supports a wake on lan function to enable that Plug your pc directly into the Router/Modem via ethernet. Make sure it's one that has internet access and take note of your ip address. You can find on google by searching just "IP" if your ip is not formatted like 111.222.333.444 and instead looks like a bunch of hex Characters that's your IPV6 a0dress to find your IPV4 address which you'll connect with you may need to login to your router and look around a bit its usually under something along the lines of Advanced>Connection Info/Settings and follow the steps in the video here as someone posted above.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDjjMO3az84 Note you're going to want to use the second option as far as the android app goes because you're not going to be on your home network while being abroad(obviously). Once you get either setup a wake on alarm or wake on lan setup you can then install teamviewer. I recommend making an account then adding your PC to teamviewer and setting a custom password that you'll remember to connect to it. Also make sure the teamviewer services are on automatic as they need to be started when the machine boots on not after login.
After that you should be all set if you need further help with anything as i probably missed something just ask Also this is really messy I'm pretty tired it being almost 2am

I think these are relevant so I enabled all of them.,
And I tried the video btw. I tried to wake the pc on wifi network but it did not work :/ so all of these mean i cannot turn my pc on remote?
