How to use the computer keyboard on the HD2?

Is there anyway to redirect computer keyboard input from the computer to the HD2? This would be useful to type texts in the device using my computer keyboard.
I don't want something like My Mobiler since I don't want to see the whole screen but only to redirect input.
After all, I just want to use my keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard, but using and activesync usb connection...

Bluetooth ...burp

I believe "excuse me" is the correct term.
WIFI Remote Access 1.7

Thanks, but that applications does not seem to let me type an SMS using my computer keyboard (at least from the description)...

It does.
Try it, and uninstall it if I am lying. I've updated the link to the developer's website.

Mymobiler is a great app to access windows phone with computer, you can do all kinds of stuff there including download weather info by wifi from computer instead of GPRS.

I know that, but I don't want full control over the device, just being able to text...
If you're already connected to wifi, why would you need your computer to update weather info?

I have WiFi Remote Access installed on my HTC HD2. How exactly does it allow the use of a PC keyboard to be used through it on my HD2? I've looked and looked and see no setting for using a PC keyboard.

Bump......

Try some remote contrl app so you can use any function of your phone on your computer...
But I'm not sure whether there is any working with wireless connection.

Download version 1.7 and you can send sms messages via your pc (hence you can use your pc keyboard).

Too bad I cannot make this work because of my wireless network settings. I have a very secured access using MAC filters so that is probably why. The 1.7 is only a trial version right? It says on the website it has a timebombthat will go off sometime in June. Besides this app, any other app that can do the same thing? Thanks.

No, 1.7 Beta 2 is timebombed (it has more features). R1 is stable and works like a charm.
Visit here for the detail.
Why the need for such secure MAC filters? Do you work for the NSC or something? Why not relax your settings, give it a try... if you don't like Wifi Remote Access' features, then ditch it and secure your router like Fort Knox again.

dude just try pocket controller, its great i use it to see my device on my screen and controll it fully, it even lets me skin the session with the right device skin..

How did you know who I worked for??? Lol. My router is weird, I cannot connect to my network if I disable MAC filtering, which is really annoying since I have to add every single device that I want to connect. It took me a while to get that router figured out and I don't want to lose my connection so maybe I will try this app at work.

Okay, have 1.7 installed and still don't see the keyboard options.
Eh...it's on the desktop application under Remote Controls. It requires an access code, which would cause the program to likely be disabled after a period of time. I'll stick with the basic app.

[Q] need to control my tab from pc!

Hey all,
I just got a tab today, all new so far. Due to my disability i really need to be able to control the tap from my windows pc(similar to my mobiler for winmo). I've seen android screencast, i can get it to come up on screen but more nor keyboard work.
I spent the whole day(12 hours) trying to get around this. Does anyone know of any apps that actually work? I don't mind paying for it either.
I've dried droid vnc server and its not really working either. Thanks in advance.

Try remote rdp enterprise. Available in the market. Install it. Works great.

droid explorer works.
enable usb debugging on the Tab
then go to tools, then plugin and select screencast. wait for java plugin to run and the screen for the Tab should pop up. you can control it from here.
it might be a little slow but it works.

Remote web desktop, acts as a proxy to most of the main functions.

[Q] Anyone knows an app to control phone from pc?

Been searching everywhere for an app that will allow me to control my phone from the pc. Really need this due to my disability(and having just bought a massive galaxy tab).
I used to use my mobiler on winmo and it was great!
Would be willing to pay for the app also.

Hi mcnally,
I have successfully used 'droid VNC server' in the past.
What VNC client are you using on your desktop? I have used tightvnc, realvnc and ultravnc (they all do the same thing, just differently)
I had assumed that keyboards & mice were configured automatically, but there can be a "view only" option that may have stopped your keyboard & mouse from interacting.
Also - sometimes VNC is quite laggy, so laggy it looks like its not responding! your client should have a setting to reduce the color depth, this transmits less data & can help the lag but you loose colours. There may also be settings to reduce data transfer further, like handling the mouse on the client side etc...

Wifi yes but i'd prefer to use usb, whatever is easiest tho. I was using the ultra vnc viewer, any other suggestions?

I use webkey, very easy to setup and can be used over 3G. You can even track where your phone is at the moment, or let it ring (like HTC's Sense )

Samsung ConnectShare on TV and S3

I just bought a new TV (Samsung UN32EH4000) and I've had very good luck using its ConnectShare USB port to connect to an external hard drive and a flash drive to play music and videos. However, I haven't had any luck connecting my S3. I'm wondering if this is possible? The TV just says "There is no device detected." I toggled it back and forth from MTP and PTP but still no joy. Anyone else got this or any other Android device to work?

This is what you need. It is amazing and you can use it with any HDMI TV.

Thanks for the reply! That's really cool! I'll consider that. I was really hoping that there was some sort of hack or tweak that would make my S3 mount as an external storage device but if there isn't one I guess this could probably work...

there is an app / tweak (root only) that will allow you to mount only the external SD card as a mass storage device like in earlier android phones and that will allow you to do what you want.

If its a dlna enabled TV you can mirror it with your s3

I saw a YouTube video of it just search for it s3 dlna, give it a shot - settings, more settings - search for nearby devices (dlna)
Probably search within your TV to make it searchable, but that all on your end.

Unable to transfer music to Nexus 5

So I've googled till my face went blue and for 2 days I have yet to find a free, reliable way to transfer music from my Macbook Air to my Nexus 5.
Google Music: Not supported in my location. I used a VPN to access the page, but even Standard Access asks for $0 purchase from a US credit card to activate the account (it greys out my foreign-issued VISA as "unsupported payment method", even though the card works for everything else on Play Store). If things get really desperate I guess I'll try using a virtual credit card (which requires a small payment), but I want to hold that off for now, since I'm worried Google might have other location-banning tricks up their sleeve, and registering with a fake shipping address might come back and bite me later.
DoubleTwist: Cable sync doesn't work, and I don't want to pay for a wireless solution which will be undoubtedly slow.
Winamp: This ugly piece of crap instantaneously crashes whenever I click the sync button.
AFT: Tired of looking for a sync solution, I gave up and figured I'd just drag and drop. Hits me with "Could not create folder try reconnecting or restarting your device.", which doesn't work either. I read online that changing USB connection mode to PTP instead of MTP solves the issue, but that didn't work either.
Right now, I'm considering FTP'ing into my phone.
I'd really appreciate alternate solutions or recommendations for free FTP apps, preferably with sync feature.
Thank you

Macs are notoriously bad with mtp unfortunately.
Ftp cafe is a good free FTP client for android. Works like any pc client such as filezilla. Can't help with making your mac an ftp server though
Foldersync can also sync via ftp....

Can you transfer via ADB?
Actually if I was in your situation although its a bit crude I'd dump everything onto dropbox and download it onto my phone. My collection is in the range of ~200MB only though. Slow but it works...

Unless you're trying to pull from iTunes. Does Media Monkey have a Mac version? I've found it to work well in the past (now I just manage all music manually).

I'll presume you're kidding. Older androids with USB mass storage mode used to work straightforward, MTP is buggy on Mac and PTP only works for photos.

OTG sounds good but I see no need to buy an additional storage device when I have enough storage, I'll remember that for later should I run out. Nope, Media Monkey is Windows-only.

Oh, I just downloaded it, didn't know about the WLAN feature, thanks

So finally what worked easiest for me was ES file explorer, with FileZilla client, 8 GB of songs moved in about 20 mins is great for me, considering the fact that it's wireless.
I guess I'll live without playlists and syncing, thanks for the help guys

Glad it worked out and nice network speeds there. ES file explorer really is a must download for everyone rooted or not. :good:
I could imagine setting up a folder sync with it using Tasker however this I have not tried.

I'm using iSyncr for Mac (paid app) for wireless syncing.
Another alternative I use is AirDroid, which also supports wireless syncing.
