I was wondering if there is anything like Pocket Controller Pro from SOTI:
http://www.soti.net/PCPro/Default.aspx
The application shows and controls the device (Windows Mobile for now, don't see any port to Android) from your PC screen.
Is there another type of application like this out there that can be used in the Android world ?
Thank you in advance.
I've searched high and low and can't find anything close to that app for android. I don't think one exists yet.
yes, also mobilier is much better for windows mobile, and it's free. It's called android screen cast http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663390
Its funny but I've been on that almost all afternoon trying to get it to work. Seems like a good program, but just can't get it to work on my rooted phone. adb has always given me problems.

Weird, worked for me out of the box. But yeah, nowhere near as good as MyMobiler for WinMo.
Try Webkey!
Hey try Webkey. It's on the market and allows you to do quite a lot of stuff including writing emails and texts, looking at your screen, export messages, call lists, contacts and more! It's really pretty good and it's free on the market!
seems like pocket controller is finally releasing tomorrow for android

Doesn't work for Nexus devices
Finally got around to installing this. I actually like it. Interesting to see a command prompt function.

Hi,
Just wondering if its at all possible to control the Transformer from an Android phone, the Xperia X10 on 2.1 in my case? I ask because I now have Plex on my transformer and would love to have my phone as a remote control for the tablet so I can keep it near the TV on HDMI while I can pause, play etc in Plex? Would also be nice if you could control other things on the tablet but just controlling Plex would be nice at this stage.
Thanks.
My question will be different can we sync SMS from my phone to transformer?
I am also very interested in this sort of functionality, albeit for a different reason. I currently own a G2 and am planning on buying a transformer in the next few months. I want to be able to use my phone as a game controller for emulators or games running on the tablet. I am wondering if there's an app that can do this already, and if not I might be interested in trying my hand at developing one. Now don't get too exited though, as I'm still a beginner with app development, and it would more than likely take a while for me to figure out how to do it. But I guess this is doubling as an offer to any other app developers out there with more experience than me, if you want to work together on something then I'm more than willing to help
you can use textab on android market
I believe Blueput Droid can do this

I'll second Blueputdroid. Phone has to be rooted, but it works great for me on HTC Desire.
sorry ignore.
DroidMote Server/Client
Long time lurker first time poster. I had this question and on another post somewhere it was suggested to try DroidMote Server. I installed Droidmote server installed on TF and client installed on phone(Droid 1). I can control everything I need to and it has a built in mouse function with mouse cursor on your tablet. Im not sure specifically about the Xperia. You could try it and have a 15 minute window to return if it doesnt work or just contact the developer.
I use XMouse - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stripe1.xmouse - for remote control of my laptop from my phone. Linux-only, but windows versions of similar programs exist, of course.
I haven't found anything similar for smartwatches. In principle it'd only be useful as a mousepad, and a small one at that, but I think it'd be cool. Has anyone found anything similar?

Well I think we people are trying to do so much with these smartwatches that are not intented for. I can not see any use for what you are describing especially practicality of it. First of all, any app that you use on the watch is actually running on the phone. So if you want to remotely control your PC, just use the phone itself. Using your watch for that purpose will be extremely slow and would be much of an hassle rather than convenient. The touchscreen on the watch is nowhere close to the sensitivity of the touchsreen of any modern day smartphone. That is another issue. If you are really keen on using it as a mousepad only, without seeing anything on the watch, maybe than it maybe faster but than again it has to first communicate with the phone than the phone will communicate with the PC so again there will be hell of a lag...
But my answer to your question is I don't know any app that can do that at the moment.
It depends on what you wanna do
Well, that might answer your question. As far as I know, no "mouse" exists on watch but that doesn't mean you can't control your PC with your watch.
You might use Unified Remote, tasker and it's smartwatch's version. Unified remote is an app that enables you to control your PC wirelessly from your phone (for example, you can play or pause windows media center, launch any program...), very useful and customizable with paid version. Then, tasker is a really really useful app (maybe a bit hard to understand at first) with which you'll be able to activate only few options of your apps. Tasker live extension shows these options on the watch. I've never tried myself but give it a try and let us know.
I don't know if it's clear enough but, for example, I use sonos system (those are speakers connected to wifi that you control with a special app on your phone), using tasker and tasker extension, I can control sonos (play, pause, skip, volume,...) using my watch.
Of course, as the guy above me said, this will never as easy and fast as on your phone. However there are apps that are intended for controlling your PC.
PS : excuse me for my not-that-good-english.
I'm well aware of unified remote and tasker, I've bought tasker since years ago.
The problem is that there's no real way to translate mousepad-type movements to instructions. I have an idea using multiple hotzones in a UCCW widget so that the further away the touch is from the center of the screen, the further the mouse moves. Like a touch nib, the lenovo type.
In answer to the usefulness, why not use it to remote control the phone, not the pc? Android devices can be fairly big nowadays. Mine is 7.7 inches, if I had a 10 inch tab I can see wanting to put it up on the table, lean back, and remote control it.

you can already do this, buy logitec wireless mouse and keyboard with the unify usb dongle, I have this for my laptop and it works on my Z1, I have a usb adaptor with a full size usb socket on the end and micro usb on the other - plugging into my Z1 gives full control using the mouse and keyboard

Well, my objective is to use what I'm already wearing rather than carry more gadgets =) already use a wireless mouse myself sometimes. Having peripherals which are the same size as my tablet isn't fun though

As soon as I find one, I WILL let you know
I'm on a quest to find an app that can REMOTE CONTROL my phone like a mouse or track pad...and as soon as I find it or build it...I will let everyone know about it. FOR THOSE OF YOU good for nothing, pessimist, dream killers, lack of vision, non-dreamers ...I say this...SOME OF US advanced business, guru, tech-geeks have projector phones or need to do presentations and have a phone machine that can do it. Besides my 2013 retina macbook pro or my i7 HP laptop, which im sure could do a fine job presenting or showing presentations through its screen or projector (attachment), I prefer to minimize my load of carrying stuff, specially when I ride my R6 to work meetings. So Mr. ngoonee YOU KEEP on searching and as soon as I find this coveted app I will let you know. Cheers

I guess I am one of those dream killers you mention. First of all, I am not trying to discourage anyone trying to do anything.
You can for sure use smartwatch as a presentation controller with buttons like the Logitech ones. It will work. But for practicality, I simply don't see sw2 being used as a mousepad. It is just my opinion and you don't have to agree with me.
So good luck with your search/app development.

If you don't understand it it's not meant for you, only works with an X server meaning for Linux computers (possibly can be used for X apps in a mac)

Well, basically....
1) SSH on the laptop
2) Profit
If you don't understand that then don't bother.

I'm starting to get bored and I've hear about people using their phones to controls their car and various other things. So I'm looking for ways that my Nexus 5 can interact with my computer and I'm finding it hard to come across apps and coming up with ideas on what to do.
So far I have:
- retune (connects to iTunes)
- gmote (file browsing to play movies on your computer)
I have a dual monitor setup and sometimes I'm laying in bed, I wouldn't mind being able to see what those two screens are showing.
For example I might have gotten a steam/xfire message, but I don't want to get up. I'd love for a way to see them in my phone.
Or maybe I'm watching a video on YouTube on my phone, I have friends over and I'd like to show them all, so I could just swipe it to my one if my dual monitors, as I'd my phone was an extended display, or vice versa
Other than that, could you guys/girls recommend me other things that you might do that I haven't mentioned?
Maybe if this thread kicks off if there isn't already one similar, I could edit the OP with a list of software/apps and what they do so other members could find stuff out, and get a sticky.
Okay, go!!
check out BBQ screen in the paid apps forum for the "i have friends over and id like to show them all, so i could just swipe it to my one if my dual monitors" part. also you can use your phone as a remote keyboard\mouse by pairing it via bluetooth...

Hello all, been searching for an answer to this, but cannot seem to find it. I do a Google search and lots of spammy sites because of the keywords I guess.. I am an apple convert. My parents are both apple people and I recently picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8. tablet to try it out. I have had iPhones and an older iPad for a while, so Im new to the environment. I thought who better to know about this than the folks who develop for the OS?
If I go to a mobile website like m.chatrandom.com (don't judge! Im 20 year old guy..xD) on Android Chrome it will not give me the option of activating my camera. It puts up a little box and says to click my mouse in it to activate controls. If I use firefox I get a popup that lets me pick front or rear camera and microphone. Once chosen I cannot switch back and forth. Seems to me that I should be able to. Any ideas or help for this?
Thanks!
Steve
