[Q] Is there an app for that? - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know if there is an app out there where you can take one android device and remote control it from another android device. Preferably via a bluetooth connection.
I would like to be able to use my current Android phone and remote control my old android phone. This way i can just leave my old android phone hooked up to a set of speakers and use my new android phone to change the music.
It would be nice to be able to browse the media library off the old android right from my new android device with out having to put that media collection on my new phone.
So, i guess idealy im looking for a remote desktop app for android from android

I didn't read the whole page but I'm pretty sure this is what your looking for.

any chance do you know a way to do this with out having a network in place? Or could i use my new phone, set up a hot spot and then proceed to use my phone hosting the hot spot to control the old phone?

I'm not entirely sure, its worth a try. I haven't done this personally, I'm just a search warrior lol.

Thanks a lot! This is the exact idea of what I'm looking for conceptually. Now to find a way to week the network settings!

No problem, let me know how it goes.

I found mixing PlugPlayer and Bubble UPNP (apps) together allow me to obtain the actual results of what i want to do with the two phones. All i need to do is get the Wifi tether to create a local network without affecting my actual data service.

well done sir

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

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] [Idea] babyphone app for 2 (android) devices

Hi all,
I hope this is the right section... tried developers section, but i am not allowed to post because of limitted amount of posts (dont want to post if its spam )
So, i did a search on google, a search in the market and a search on this forum and could not find what i was looking for.
I am a complete noob with developing apps and dont have the aspiration to do it in the future....
Here is my idea... hope somebody could react if it is possible at all or maybe that it is a completely stupid idea
My wife and i both have a htc desire and i was searching for a babyphone through wifi.... like i said... could not find it.
What i want:
- Place one device in the room from the baby when it is connected to the internet (wifi or 3g)
- The other device i would like to to take to friends ~600 meters away.
- With the phone i have with me i would like to connect to the other phone (through internet wifi or 3g) and hear what is going on at the room from the baby. (Maybe through a webpage or something like that???)
Hope it is clear to you guys what i ment.
I think it should be possible... something like skype or so?? Together with some options from the standard baby monitors in the market i think this could be a completely new app. Of course it could be extended in the future if you could use sound and the cam from the android device and have live video from the babys room....
104 views and no reaction... Is it a stupid idea or something impossible?

Actually, a Babyphone App is a very good idea
Some of the applications that allow for you to use your phone as a webcam also allow for audio capture, so they could be used similarly to what you want.
but can these apps you mentioned sent the captured video/audio to the android phone from my wife??
Noise Alert
While this is not for a constant audio connection, I used this for a baby monitor when in a bind.
You have to tweak the detection settings to suit your sleeper (snorers/rollers), but once you get it set right, if the wake up and cry the App will call your other phone and you can listen to the room at that time.
Not sure if you can set it to restart the app for false alarms, but logically this is probably in there.

Still this is not the best option for me... I want to have sound all the time... If you have kids you will understand.
Other thing is that I want to do it via internet...cheaper
Yeah i have kids. I bought a wireless video baby monitor with two way comminication and support for up to 4 cameras because i couldnt find an android solution.
Someone should definitely develop this idea.

Hi Master_B82,
I had the same idea, so that I think that it is not too bad ;-)
Actually, I was working hard over the last months in developing such an App, as I need it for myself, too.
The good news: I finished a first, fully functioning version. It is available on android market as "BabyPhone Mobile":

I hope, you like it
If you have any ideas on improving the App... Just tell me!

[Q] Syncing andoid with itunes (with no computer?)

I realize this might be more of an apple question but i feel like ive already searched to the ends of the interweb on apple forums and gotten nowhere and when i ask a question over there the only answer i seem to get is "shouldve bought an ipad"... So I'm wondering if there is a way to sync an itunes library with an android device without a computer? As far as i know, all of the common apps out there (doubletwist, airbind, etc) need to be set up on a computer first. Im trying to bypass this step with my little brothers iphone 5 and a rooted android tablet with ICS. I bouht him the tablet for xmas, but decided to give it to him early when his laptop was stolen earlier this week. He doesnt live near me or i would let him use my laptop to sync with his itunes. Is this even possible? Or will he need to find a computer? Please help!!!
There's doubleTwist player on Play Store which I've heard is pretty awesome at syncing iTunes- all for free. If you dkm't need a whole new player then there's quite a few other apps on market, not sure how reliable they are though...
Soryuu, thanks for the reply. My understanding is that you still need a mac or Windows computer to set up doubletwist I initially? Or am I wrong? Can I do this with just an iPhone and an android device??
Edit: Yeah, you need a desktop to work doubleTwist/Airsync and so on.
An iPhone and an Android device?
I don't think there's any easy solution to this except using cloud storage like Google Drive or something- which would be slow enough on its own- and even then, depending on how many songs you have it'd be a tediously slow process downloading them onto the tablet. If you are using cloud storage... I've never used iPhones so I don't know but can they make zips out of files? If you can that may make it slightly easier- zip the music up (if possible), upload to the cloud and then download it as one package.
There is this app that seems to work like NFC: http://m.wikihow.com/Use-Bump-Between-an-iPhone-and-Android
But 1.) Not sure about tablets- I assume so if its that popular of an app but there was no mention and
2.) Apparently its semi-functional according to some of the reviews I've seen.
I guess you could try it out and see what happens.
Other than that I don't think there's much else...

[Q] Control Nexus 5 from computer?

My friend's Samsung phone has a feature where he can control the phone in his pocket from his computer. I was curious if anything has been developed for Android/the Nexus 5. I know TeamViewer has the capability on rooted phones, but I can't seem to get it to work (and it would require that I pull the phone out to manually start it).
I'd ideally like to have the phone always listening for connections to allow me to control it. I'm aware of the security concerns with this. Does anyone know of any solution? As always, free is preferable to paid, though I'm willing to pay a little for a good solution.
Have you tried AirDroid? It's not a perfect "control everything" solution but does let you handle a lot of things including messages. What do you specifically want to be able to control?

Airdroid is good but he also has to take out his phone and start it manually

No actually he doesn't. You only need to log in to AirDroid once. After that you can close it and as long as you are on the same network as the computer, it will start up as you log on to AirDroid through the web-interface on the PC/Mac.

Need a way to add to my to do list using my Bluetooth headset, on Android Pie

Using Note 9 on Pie version Android. As far as I can tell, it's not yet possible to add things to a Google keep list with the headset that your phone is off. Google will just add them to a shopping list.
I'm fine with using a new productivity system and I've been looking at todoist even though I like Google keep and I also have an Evernote premium subscription that I really haven't taken advantage of but mainly I need a place to immediately put down thoughts without having to pull out my phone. Can anyone point me to a good system that someone else uses? I have a decent amount of experience using Tasker and could probably put something together with an app like IFTTT. However, this seems like such a common need in a common problem that there must be a viable solution that exists already. Again my main problem seems to be that the Google assistant is different when your phone is off versus when you are using Google now on the phone itself.
Thank you for any help and I'll be sure to edit if I find a good solution.
