[Q] Connecting phone to laptop as a webcam? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is it possible to connect your phone to the laptop so it'll display the phone's screen onto the laptop? I'm trying to use the phone's camera as a webcam or make skype calls on a bigger screen. Thanks.

Can't believe I didn't even think of that. Thank you so much.

Yes, the Droidcam works wonders. The only minor issue is the audio delay.

Any way to control my phone from my PC wirelessly?

With enough speed to have my phone connected to my TV with the Youtube app up? So that I can, say, plug my phone in and leave it plugged in, click on new videos from my laptop?
Use My Mobile, sync the phone to PC via bluetooth.

[Q] Splashtop

I wanted to know if using the splashtop HD (not sure if it comes loaded with or not) But I wanted to know if this does allow for gaming or not, just simple gaming nothing harcore.
Doesn't come loaded with SplashtopHD but MyCloud does the same thing and it's preloaded on the TF

Really, if can do the remote desktop thing so you can do basic point and click games?
Haven't tried to play any games but if it's basic point clicks should be do able if speed is not a factor.
sorry to disappoint you but clicks in games are very clunky at the best...Not sure why but my first guess would be there are some fundamental differences between inputs in windows api and DirectX api.. and in many (not all) games, a single click seems to only trigger a mouse-over event and you have to double click really fast and precisely in the same position to make it registered as a mouse click.

well for the moment it doesnt matter as I cant see my pc with it.
tried last night with Splashtop... the standard free version only lets u get 1024x768, while HD can get u 1280x720(extra 80 pixel taken by the bottom bar)
i tried launching Mass Effect from it, and it says failed, cos it doesnt support full screen application...
another thing worth mentioning is that the mouse control(or touchpad) is very awkward to use... it's the same control as android, right click = back, where the actual Windows right click = Hold Left Click..
also, the stream is rather laggy, i tried watching video on it.. it's not smooth, i guess it streams less then 24 fps then.. not yet practical, but got its potential, do hope Asus would improve it in the future

My problem is still at getting it and my pc to see each other, but last night I had some network issues. (First could ping other pc's but no one could ping me and also I didn't even show up on the router as there) But after 4 hours and such I think I just want to figure out how to get a refund from them for the HD copy I got since it just doesn't work for me.
Even after I got my PC to show up on the network and everything else, it still doesn't show up. Load it on another pc boom shows up first time.
Damn, i installed the desktop version and showed me webpage to download splashtop for android. Did this and after 5 minutes it disconnected and showed me a paid app for full functionality. I buyed this, but now after 10 days is see it is included in mycloud. So i asked for a refund and they say: too late! this can only be done in 7 days!

Welcome to the ****ed over club then, I bought the HD and normal one. One for my phone and one for my tablet, and after 5 days of fighting with it I still can't get any of them to see my PC and all they do is shout port forward like I am to stupid to have done that first. The site they have also has limited support.
The one that came with the mycloud stuff I think is the old one and HD is the newer one.
Has anyone used it to stream Netflix from their PC? Youtube seems A-ok.
Got it free with mycloud... paid for the HD version. Best RDP software I've tried and I've tried a few

I haven't tried Netflix, but I've streamed live tv from my PC with a couple of DVB-C cards. This works fine and channel changes are almost as fast as when viewed on the PC directly, so I don't see any reason why Netflix shouldn't work too.
In order to play any game you have to set it to windowed mode. I played SC2 the other night. it wasnt bad but it's hard typing and playing at the same time unless you have the dock with mouse
Splashtop HD supports full-screen, so you can run games and watch videos in full-screen now. As to why your PC isn't detected, have you tried manually adding the internal IP of your PC? Did you try setting up Static internal IP? What kind of router are you running, I know some cheap routers have issues with routing properly even with correct settings.

I've had the problem where it was working and then stopped being detected. A reboot fixed the issue but for those that did get it working and it stopped working, this is what I had to do..

Aye I did, it's a netgear one. My pc has a set internal ip of 192.168.1.100 and at first no other system could see or ping me, never needed too so the problem was never noticed. I fixed it so now I can be seen and such but the app still won't find my pc, even when I manually add it to the program.
I went to the router and already forwared the ports it needed to .100 on my end and that is the only advise they keep drolling out at me. I know this works and was livid when I installed it on a pc wired into the router and boom found it right away, I know the issue is on my pc side just not sure what.
Hi all,
It's my first time posting here.
Got my TF fro about 2 weeks now, generally quite happy with it but have some problem using splashtop as some of you here.
I wanted to use TF to control my laptop at office. I was able to control my laptop if through local network but when try to control it from outside internet, I have done all the proper portforwarding (setting port 6783~6785 linked to my laptop static IP) I always failed
My laptop connect to office router (WAG200G) through wireless though. Could that be a problem?
Thanks
I can play games with Splashtop HD and they run great (even games like Crysis2).
The only problem is that I must use the same WiFi network.
If I connect my PC from a different network, it's very slow to even just browse my PC, not to mention playing a game.
@liorry how do you connect to PC on different network?

lock and unlock Windows via Bluetooth

Hi there,
there are tools out there to lock your Windows when bluetooth connection to a device is lost and unlock when its established again.
That would be a nice feature for the Smartwatch (better than mobilephone) because its always with me.
I cant connect the watch via Bluetooth to the pc.
Any ideas how to do this.
Maybe we have a good app-developer here
Thanks alot!!
Daniel
I am quite lost with your approach.
Anyways, if you are looking for a tool that keeps your phone unlocked when it is connected to the watch. Try PhoneLocator

Yes thats what i mean. If the bluetooth connecton to the pc is lost (out of reach) it locks itself. Back to the pc it unlocks. There are tools for windows you can realize that with a mobile phone. But i often leave it at the desk. The watch is always with me.
The problem is i cant connect the watch to the pc.
Sorry if the first post was misleading.
Is there any possibility to get the watch connected to a pc. More is not needed to realize this.
Thx.

If you can't connect the watch to the PC, how a tool (if there is one) will know that the watch is connected and perform an action. Logically and programmatically, is impossible.
Secondly, why such watch should be connectable to a PC? it wasn't made for this purpose.

I see what you mean. But isnt xda a developer Forum too? Maybe MAYBE its possible to make an app that could make the watch connectable to a PC via bluetooth or the watch os itself.
Its just an idea - im not a developer and i dont know about what is possible and what is not. But its an android running on the watch and we are in a developer forum so why not!!
I would like this feature...
Technically it should be possible but it may not be worth the effort. I think the Windows program would have to try to connect every minute or every 30 seconds and lock the screen if it cannot. Then keep scanning to unlock when it can connect.
That would be so cool! If only the watch worked with a computer.

There is a Windows tool 'BtProx', which can lock the PC when the bluetooth device is disconnected. I used this with hands free headset.
However, as mentioned earlier if Windows cannot see the watch, how the application will act??!

I love this idea, totally useful. Isn't the problem really on the watch side though? It will only pair with one device at a time (the phone) and then is no longer visible. On the PC side just being able to see the watch would trigger the unlock, no need to actually pair. I am probably missing something as I am not a developer.

Yes I also think something like a ping would be enough - but it seems the Lock/Unlock Software wants a paired device and the watch isn´t visible after pairing with the phone.
So it seems we have no option to get it work.

Don't give up so fast. I think there might be a way...
How about if the unlock software would unlock the PC when the phone was connected but only if the watch was connected to the phone? That would probably take a small amount of coding on the Android side to inform the PC whether the watch were connected or not. This way both the phone and watch would have to be connected to their respective pairings. I think it still solves your problem of walking away from your desk and the phone which would lock the PC and when you brought the watch back the PC would unlock.
Do you think the PC lock software folks would be interested in such a scheme? Have you been in contact with them? This would work for all types of smartwatches with only coding done on the phone and PC.
Cheers,
Fred

GOT IT
I give me the needed idea.
You need
Tasker + Secure Settings + your Mobile.
Mobile is connected via bluetooth to PC. Software locks on connection lost to mobile.
Now i made a task which disconnects the bluetooth connection to PC when connection to the watch is lost. -> PC locked
You may also use the notification message of the Smartwatch - try it later.
An other task reconnects the mobile to PC when watch reconnects to mobile. -> PC unlocks but it takes a little time (but for me the lock was the important thing).
If you take away your mobile it also locks the PC. What more do you want!!!!
I would say - Mission accomplished...good:
Now its time to play arround with tasker a little bit more :fingers-crossed:
Damn it was tricking me. the Phone reconnects after a few seconds so the lock timer has to be extrem short ... working on it
Any ideas how to prevent autoconnect to the Computer but stay paired?

I am not sure what you mean. When does the phone reconnect when you don;t want it to? Seems like your idea should work. I am not a tasker user but are there any timer tasks built into it that would stop the unintended activity for a period of time?

When the watch disconnects it triggers the disconnect (via tasker) between mobile and computer but the mobile connects again after a few seconds. So btprox or btproximity (software im using to lock the pc when bluetooth disconnects) has not enough time to lock. I have to set the interval btprox looks for the connection to under 10 sec. Thats to short and i think it will give bigger battery drain on the mobile.
So i need a way preventing the mobile from reconnecting again to the pc unless the watch is reconnected. but this seems harder than i thought.
Played a lot arround with tasker - even tried t find a way to send a cmd to the pc and lock it over command line when watch is out of reach from mobile. so i could use this way if watch is away from pc and the "bluetooth out of reach" way when mobile is away. but i didnt found an app to use with tasker which is able to do so.
But after getting so far i wont give up

Well, I am not a tasker user but I do use an old app I started using years ago named Settings Profile (I have no idea if you can still download it). SP has variable time delays between actions so you could turn off bluetooth on the phone for a minute (or as long as you think you need to wait) after the watch disconnected and then turn bluetooth back on so that the phone would reconnect to the PC while you were gone and then when you got back the watch would reconnect to the phone and all would be good. Tasker seems like it has way more capability than my old app (that I am too lazy to change). I am sure buried somewhere in Tasker is a delay you could use like that.
Let me know if you get it to work and maybe I will make the leap, though I am sure I have better things to do with my time than get lost in Tasker

Disable bluetooth would work but i dont like this option - i did it an other way.
I got it Working now with "Remote Launcher"+"Tasker".
Made a task locking the PC via Remote Launcher if watch disconnects from Mobile after 30 seconds.
If Mobile disconnects bt from PC the btprox software locks the PC.
Not exactly what i want but works...
Unlocking seems to be not possible...

While this is an old thread here a small hint:
There is a Win Software "BTProximity" that will lock / unlock the PC when discovering a BT device with a given BT address - without the need for actually ever pairing the bt device with the PC.
This approach should work just fine with every BT enabled smartwatch. Unfortunately I am not yet allowed to post links here. Google for "guidingtech auto lock win 8 bluetooth" ... the first result will link you to the tool.
Comments appreciated.

Samsung DEX

May be late to the party but just found out DEX works wirelessly on laptops. Not too bad... Definitely latency issues but it works. Thought it was only for TVs

Isn't it a good thing, no? Look, Ma, no wires!
The Your Phone App is nifty too.
I absolutely love it... Decluttered my desk... Well no longer have to use the tab s 5e for dex to the tv. Now it seems everything comes from the phone now. All about eliminating stuff I need to relax.
Only thing is netflix just doesn't seem to work well
Guys, could you extract and send me the lastest APK in private please ?
Since it can handle the display wirelesssly, I'd like to try it on my Note 10 lite (with no USB-3, e.g no HDMI out).

Hi GDHAMTON7,
Good evening.
I have two questions (maybe you can shed some light on)
- What app are you using on the laptop side? DEX "PC" app doesn't work wireless for me. Are you using "Connect" app? Other?
- If you are using "Connect" or other app on the PC, can you interact with the DEX screen using your Laptop (PC) mouse and keyboard? I can only use Keyboard for a few minutes, and mouse only "Bluetooth" if connected directly to the Phone itself.
I Can only do it, using the Host PC mouse and keyboard on the "wired" DEX app, or using (less complete experience) "wireless" YOURPHONE app (that crashes a lot and requires a "reset" to function again).
So currently wireless DEX (for me) is only valid on TV connections.
PC's only wired...
Thanks.
Regards.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
Okay upon going thru the post history I saw it (post 10), but that uses\calls "Connect" app, not the Samsung DEX app (which states it requires Wired USB connection).
And the same (only PC keyboard is allowed, not Mouse), if we want any mouse control we must either connect a mouse directly to the phone, or use the phone itself as a mouse trackpad.
I think this is a Windows limitation, because while using the same "Wireless DEX" feature on 3 different TV's:
Sony (Android)
LG (WebOS)
Samsung
I'm able to control the touch/mouse within DEX, using any TV built in Air mouse, no issues at all.
Are you able to use your Mobile PC mouse on the "Projection" image coming from (Phone) DEX to the PC (Connect)?
Thanks again,
Regards,
I am... I have a Lenovo legion y530... With graphics card. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Question Problem with camera app in dex mode.

Hello, I often use Samsung Dex with my s22ultra (using wifi). The problem is with the "Camera" app. It is very limited, no zoom, no resolution options. Anyone have a solution? Maybe some other video app?
Are you using the front or back camera? The front (selfie) camera doesn't zoom, nor can you change the resolution.
I try use back camera... and i cant zoom or change anything options.
What is your setup? How are you connecting to the monitor/TV, and how are you controlling your phone? Wired? Wireless? Are you using a keyboard and mouse?
To my knowledge, you can't display DeX on your phone itself, it has to be connected to an external display like a TV or monitor.

I connect phone with laptop via wireless. On laptop use keyboard and mouse. I can only change cam (front - back), options photo - video. Nothing more.

Ok. I presume you are using the Samsung DeX app on your laptop and that your laptop is a Windows machine.
I will try it today. I expect that I will get the same results.
To be honest, I don't think there are any other camera/video apps that would do what you want while in DeX. At least not any that would work with the phone's cameras. DeX was not really designed to be used in that way. It was intended to be a laptop/desktop replacement solution.
Why are you needing to be able to have back camera control while using DeX? Just curious.

Ok. So I have the same limitation. When I run the camera app from DeX I can only switch between front and back cameras. No zoom control.
However, if I connect via Link to Windows and then control the phone from Phone Link, I have complete control of the camera. I connected using Phone Link wirelessly.
So, if you want complete control of your phone from your laptop, connect your phone via Link to Windows and then use Phone Link to control it.
