I'm rooted and I've got Open Garden. For the most part its been wonderful. It works on my laptop flawless. However, I want it to be able to connect to some other devices like my nook 1st edition. It doesnt even show up as an access point! I've heard there's cettain settings you have to apply that will allow you to connect it to other devices besides just the standard ones. If that is true please list the settings I have to change or any other solution I'm all ears!

Does anyone know of a app that you can remotely control your evo 4g device from the computer through a usb cable (3g would be fine too)??
I found an app that you can do it with wifi, but I do not have wifi available at my work location (the app is called htcportal).
I also found a screencast application:
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
(but you can only view the screen, you cannot remotely control it w/out rooting, I do not want to root just for this app.)
while at work I like to plug my phone in and just keep it on my pc screen so I can type messages or whatever through the software instead of having to pickup the phone and/or disconnect the usb/charging cable.
Without root, probably not going to happen.
what is the app that controls it via wifi?
moto phone portal/HTC portal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5750062&postcount=57
I just tried out the moto portal and I don't like it.
the interface is pretty neat, but you have to scroll to find your contact and I didn't see an option to show the screen and actually be able to navigate through the phone.
Okay, so I just bought a Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus Wifi. I have a 16gb microSD card in it (which I can write to thanks to another thread in this forum).
I looked up info on MTP and found that it works seamlessly with Windows, but needs an Android app for Mac. Okay. not optimal, but I can deal. I downloaded and installed "Android File Transfer" (v1.0.16..6656).
I plug my GT+ into my Mac. The tablet says it is initializing MTP, then switches to "USB Connected - MTP-Connected".
Sounds good, right?
When I launch the "Android File Transfer" on my Mac, I immediately get a pop up window saying "No Android device found. Please connect your Android Device with a USB cable to get started."
I've tried rebooting. I've tried different cables and different USB ports (although all of the above work with other devices).
What on earth am I doing wrong???

It does? Ooopps. I've been using it all this time without an app I need? I hate when that happens.
Seriously - at least for Snow Leopard, I'm not using any special apps and it works. I can't remember at the moment, but I might have had to tap the USB icon thing in the notification bar to activate something on the tablet (or maybe that was on my gingerbread phone... I can't remember now, and my mbp isn't available at the moment.)
Get rid of the excess stuff, plug it in... if you don't get the drives available on the mac, tap the USB symbol on the notification bar on the tablet and see if there's an option to turn it on or something...

Well, that certainly is strange. I'm running Lion (v10.7.2), so you'd think it would work there as well.
I tried tapping the USB symbol where it says "USB Connected / MTP-connected". No dice. It just goes away like it isn't really tappable.
You did make me think to look System Information -> Hardware -> USB to see if the system at least recognized the tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus). It does, as you can see by the attached screen cap (the "Android Phone" listed is my HTC EVO 3D, and yes, I've tried this without it being attached.).
Any other ideas?
I have an iMac with Lion and I could never get the Android Transfer App to work. But what does work is an app by Samsung called Kies. Do an app search on the Android Marketplace to find it. You'll find more reviews there, than at the Samsung website.
You will also need Mac version of the app as well. Should be at the Samsung site; probably under support, since you're now looking for a Mac app.
While it states that it will connect via Wi Fi, and I'm sure it will, I have my iMac hardwired, so I had to access my Tab7+ using USB. You'll have to try it to see if has the features you are looking for.
G.B.
And remember, talking dogs always lie.
Use the USB ports on the Mac directly
I had this same problem with the MTP-connection message on my Gingerbread Android device (Samsung Galaxy IIS Epic Touch 4G, ...yes, it is a long name! I know.) with no acknowledgement of connection on my Mac Mini running OSX Lion 10.7.4. The curious part was that my Macbook Pro also running Lion was seeing it with no problems at all using the same USB cable.
So finally it hit me, I tried connecting the USB cable directly to the USB ports on the back of the Mac Mini and problem solved! I got on my Mac Desktop two new drives, one for the internal memory and the other one for the microSD card! (Both with read/write permission)
I must add that I was trying it originally through a Belkin powered USB 2.0 hub (7 ports), but apparently something is not working right for the Mac trying to connect to the Android device through the USB hub.
I hope this helps some of you out there!
Easiest way I've found to do this is by using a program called MyMobiler http://www.mymobiler.com
This was tested on ViperS 1.1.0 ROM and works like a charm.
1) Enable USB debugging on phone and connect USB.
2) Install and start MyMobiler on your pc.
3) In your systray on pc: right click the MyMobiler icon and select Connect. This will install MyMobiler on your phone.
4) Start MyMobiler on your phone. Enter settings as below.
5) Repeat step 3 and you should now be able to see and control your phone from your pc!
Settings are as follows (on phone)...
All display related settings on auto.
Display resolution: High
Change touch: Service-Touch
Change touch method: Ginger
Change touch origin: Default
Also, enable the MyMobiler keyboard from within settings if you want to use your keyboard to type!
Hope this is useful for someone!
Can't get it to work.
The Windows part and the Android parts both install on their respective devices but they don't communicate.
ADB recognizes the phone, but this program does not.
i ever tried remote windows from phone, but never from windows to phone
if you want to remote windows from phone, just use team viewer, and it will works like a charm

That's strange. Maybe it has something to do with USB device drivers in Windows?

Cool, I might try it
Link looks awesome...

That's very weird. usually if adb recognizes the phone (which means USB driver is installed correctly), then program based on adb will work. Do you see something like the attached image under device manager?

I have tried it and both are connecting well.
However i am only able to use it for typing and not for selecting icons on my handset.
ok, just another option, you can try our new app, vmlite vnc server, it will surely work, you have full control of the phone, wifi or USB, rooted or unrooted devices.

so far, users like it
Airdroid app is not bad either.
You can use a standard browser to control your phone.
Hello there,
I am trying to find use for my old devices, recently just had a bambino and im trying to keep him entertained whilst driving and its hard work. I was thinking of mounting my old SG Tab 2 tablet in the back of the car and control its functions via my old SG 2 phone in front, mainly video watching for him to be honest. My SG2 is rooted, I am currently using an S5 but I would like to stick with the older phone if possible.
I have been reading a little into using 'Tablet Remote' but as far as i gather the tablet needs to be connected to a tv.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section. You will need to register on XDA to reply to anyone though.
Good luck!

Tablet Remote doesn't need a tv connected, Just 2 Android devices, here's the steps to use as mentioned in Google Play
1) Installation
Install the Tablet Remote on both devices;
2) Setup
For the receiver device (the tablet), go to the "setup" section and make sure the two options are check by selecting them and by enable Tablet Remote as a keyboard;
3) Connection
Go to the "connection" section and select the device you want to connect.
You'll have a notification on both devices when they connect with each other. If you don't find the other device, you can use the "scan device" and "make device discoverable" commands to make it appear in the list.
Only devices on your local area network (LAN) will be showed with the "scan devices" command. Make sure both devices have Tablet Remote on when you use that command.
If you have problem connecting with the device, try it with the other one or unbind both device and try it again.
4) Control
For the remote device (the phone), go to the "remote" section and you can start controlling the other device! In portrait mode, you'll have the remote setting and in landscape mode, you'll have the gamepad setting.
Gd man thanks for the help, i will give it a go and see how it works out in the car. Kudos
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, , ,
web.airdroid.com says it can't connect to my "Network."
I'd really love to TRY out this app to connect my S3 to my pc, just as you want the same thing!
Did you find any SUPPORT anywhere?
