hi, yeah sorry i mean to remote control a win7 pc, I cant find anything on marketplace called logmein, only comes up with phonemypc which ive tried and dont like.
How do i get this "logmein" ?

there was a .apk download somewhere here on the xda site, do a search for "logmein ignition beta" or something like that. you will also need a logmein account, its free and you need to download and install a virtually invisible program on your computer.

ok so it would seem that the beta is over (strange as mine is still running fine) but if you go here https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/android/, you might find what you are looking for when it is released, unless anyone else can find the download link.

Hmm the only one I've actually liked is phonemypc. Sure it doesn't have sound and no login support yet, but nothing beats getting to see your pc screen on your phone with 20 fps
I've also tried Remote RDP, but it didn't give me anywhere near the framerates of phonemypc on my part, plus setting up RDP is more of a pain if you want to use it over 3G.

Gmote is the best by far for controlling a PC

Gmote basically turns your phone into a mouse control for a HTPC...
not the same thing...
Can someone describe the differences between phonemypc and logmein? I currently use phonemypc and like it, but if there's something that would suite me better, I'd switch.

Not true, my friend uses it to control windows media center, you have to make the remote how you want it, he said its not obvious at first but once you figure it out you can program virtually any command in

Believe me, the BEST of all!!
xtralogic.com/rdpclient.shtml

Gmote is a great start: Stream music from the computer to the phone, Control PowerPoint, Use as a mousepad, Use to control windows media player, Use keyboad on phone to type on computer (Don't know why you would but neat anyway), Free version available but only us$2.99....BUT only on the wifi network, not remote thru cell towers..Xtralogic's Remote Desktop Client is a complete RDP with password protect and can be use anywhere!! BUT is US$19.95.....So there are 2 options depending on what suits your needs...Hope that helps!!!

What you should do is google 'RDP' and then see if your definition works along the lines of GMotes functionality.
To answer your question in short, no it doesnt.

I tried a couple of rdc's and Phonemypc was the best. Its one of my three favorite apps. Setup is an absolute breeze and the developer says sound will be added. Picture is great watching video so after sound it'll be perfect.

Hey people, thanks for the comments, I tried gmote it doesnt even recognise a simple .avi file on my Pc, was easy to setup and connect but i need it to play movies.
Does anyone have a .apk of the xtralogic rdp??

Posting of the .apk is not allowed because it is a paid app. But I agree, I have tried every other RDP client for android, and this is tops. If you need great RDP support on your phone, its worth it.

Remote Control Your Phone from Your PC

Does anyone know if there is any software out there
that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.
There is a great software package out there made by
http://www.soti.net/
but they do not have software available for Android.
This would be for use with the new evo
Any ideas?
Thansk

Picme in market.
You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app
I'm currently working on data access and full phone control. It's kinda hard to get everything working together.

Have you heard of this product?
http://airwatchstore.com/
I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.
Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?
Thanks
*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.

I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.

Does your phone have to be rooted for this?
I get error getting device list. Do you have to install something on the phone for this app to connect to?

that was a nice little app that i miss now that you mentioned it

webkey (root required) for control over phone
lazydroid & remote web desktop for sending SMS from computer and a few other features
they can be found in the market

I use Remote Web Desktop for SMS, which is the main reason I used MyMobiler to control my WinMo phone, but I still have to go on my phone to mark the messages read and to read them because there is a delay from when I get the message on my phone and when it shows up in Remote Desktop.
It would be really nice is there was a way to operate unrooted phones...

"my phone explorer" is pretty good and supports android,

View phone on Desktop?

I looked and looked... tried remote desktop client and that didn't work either... is there any way to hook up my phone via USB and view/control it through my Windows XP laptop?
Thanks
EDIT: Found a good one... The thing which ended up working best was: androidscreencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

i9003 Remote Control from computer?

Hi everyone!
Sometimes i become tired of swypying for long, and error prone, periods of time and i day-dream about chatting in whatsapp using a physicall keyboard. My big question is: is there any app that allows for remote controlling of my i9003 from my computer? (I would like to see my android screen on my computer and control the phone remotely with mouse and keyboard). I tried installing TeamViewer Quick Support but it does not seem to be working completely ok. Maybe you can suggest another apps and point me in the right direction...
Thanks in advance!
BTW: I´m on stock DDLF2 with BCK (r14fix).

Install android sdk and search google for a software

Thanks. I might try that after trying remote control with Airdroid...

I know and use AirDroid and TeamViewer QuickSupport

I used droid VNC server and it works fine.
Here the How To
PS: while typing, look at your phone screen if the preview on your computer lags, all the sent inputs are almost instant.
EDIT:
I guess TeamViewer QuickSupport is pretty much the same. AirDroid won't allow you to use Android apps if I remember correctly, so no Whatsapp with it.

Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, will definitely work fro you:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en

is this really possible ?

yes, I am sure that VMLite VNC Server will work.
