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?

There is an App called Win+Ctrl+7 in the Marketplace works just like Airmouse on the iphone.
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)

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.

There is a new entrant you can try too, it is called LANmote

Tablet Remote
is a no-frills option that worked to control my Xoom from my Archos 32.
I've been using the TF to feed my new HDTV movies....and it's great...all except for the getting up and pausing, resuming, and such...
Any ideas on a wireless sort of TV remote for a tablet?

You might be able to program a wii remote to do the basic I guess??
Use a bluetooth mouse or keyboard?
Would be cool if we could get one of the MCE remotes that have usb IR receivers to work.
Hello,
I'm new here so please pardon my 'newbiness' .
I've been searching around for an affordable tv box/stick that would enable me to:
1. Stream my laptop's desktop on my Smart TV. My idea is to use a wireless keyboard and mouse and do some work on my laptop, but sitting on the couch and looking my Smart TV.
2. Stream my xbmc from my laptop in HD quality to my Smart TV. I would love to stream Movies and TV series from my laptop's XBMC to my Smart Tv in HD quality without any lap or errors.
Is this doable with a TV stick or TV box that is affordable?
Thank you for your time and looking forward to your replays.
Kind Regards,
Luka
I am pretty new to TV streaming etc and am having a lot of fun with a cheap UBOX I bought. reading what you say though suggests to me that you don't need to spend any money at all!
if you are happy using your laptop in the way that you say (and assuming it has an hdmi slot) -why not simply run an HDMI cable to the TV and clone the screens?
perhaps I'm being dumb here, but methinks you are complicating matters -
all the many cheap boxes one can get will simply plug into your tv, pick up your wifi, run kodi etc and away you go -
so why bother with the laptop at all?
Also what do you class as "cheap"? What's your budget?
just these simple usages,u ve got 2 ways,1st,buy a wifi display stick,2nd,hdmi direct plug
Evening all, anyone able to recommend a cable to connect the 8 to a TV? Could I just use any USB C to HDMI cable? I know I could use wifi but the tv I want to use doesn't have an Internet connection. Any advice would be great ta.
Would be easier to make recommendations based on what you are planning to do by connecting your phone to the TV. If it is simply to stream videos, a Chromecast is the best option in my opinion. I have one on each of my TV's and they work great with the Honor 8. Your TV doesn't need internet or to be a Smart TV.
Agree, Chromecast is the best way to go. Not much more experience than a cable,but much easier.

Have been using Chromecast to mirror and cast apps - works like a charm!
