There are too many apps that doing this - remote control the pc, but I didn't found any good that do it 'quietly', without any notification that shown on the PC, most of them show a notification or a service that shown on systemtray. Donno if its possible to remote control without dl and using a 3rd party software on the PC, but I want something that doing this control hidden...
Would like to hear about applications that fit to the description ...
Thanks

There is a very good reason why these sort of apps give a notification on the screen - it is so that anyone using the PC at that time knows that what they are doing is being watched.
As for doing this without downloading anything to the remote PC - not possible. Even if it is malware hidden in a spam email it will need to download something.
To do it without notification would either make you a spy or a stalker
To that end I'm going to report this thread for the Mods to decide on.

Well, I guess its not sound that good, but YOU did talk about malware or spying...not me.
There is a APP that doing what I've described (I forgot its name) - you need user/password on the PC but its not pushing notification everytime like TeamViewer, I want something that control like teamviewer but used like (on systray)
However, mr.guy, there are so many remote application on google play, so instead of trying all the 1000 I just want a recommand for a good one.
You can forget about your your hallucinations about spyware and other nonsense, it really does not interest me.
thanks (for nothing) for jumping my thread , maybe someone will be usefull than you.

If you just want something that you can use to log in without actually having a user sat at the remote PC then you should look at LogMeIn - it's what I use for managing my customer's EPoS kit as I can just assign a fixed password to the machine and log in whenever I want to. They still get a notification on the screen that I've connected, but that's all.

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,

Hello Everyone,
i've finish working on my application RemotifyMyDroid, and uploaded it to the market place toy can download:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yazan.remotifyMyDroid&feature=more_from_developer
it sends notifications to your PC, when you got event on your mobile,
best case when you are charging your mobile in a room, and setting in another..
however you can use it in different purposes ...
the phone and the PC should be on the same LAN,
in future i may upgrade it to work over the internet ...
it notifies for those events:
1- Incoming Call (shows the caller number to)
2- Outgoing Call (someone using your mobile to call a number)
3- Your mobile is fully charged (in case you were charging it)
4- Someone unplugged the power of the charger.
5- New Incoming SMS.
to download the PC server
http://www.yazandroid.com/
and go to RemotifyMyDroid (1st link) and it contains some screen shots to.
also have a look at my other FREE 2 applications there
your feedback is appreciated
Yazan.
Sounds great, but I think setting this up might be a tad harsh for general use (firewalls etc). I would suggest building an intermediary platform (web service) to communicate to. That way you can have a very easy setup. For instance, you can use the Google login service to identify yourself from the phone and the notification program and that's it then. No IP's or port numbers as most users don't know what that is anyway.
But for the techies, good start.
Cheers

What a great find... The integration with Growl will be excellent on my HTPC. Also, this allows easy integration with EventGhost through Scripty.

otherwise you will see a single app for each purpose ... on pc\mobile ...
one more thing .. why do you think there is Windows , Linux and Mac??
could not other parties just SAVE there time and NOT develop another OS!!!!

Hey, didn't try it yet but I have some suggestions, in addition to a web service:
reply to sms / transfer calls to PC
low battery event
as an option, deliver every notification from notification bar (alarms, songs played, ebay auctions ending, FB msgs, etc.)
cheers
Mac version would be awesome .

Using bluetooth maybe ? PC as a handset (would have to be paired before)
I understand then distance range would come as a limit for many use cases, but could still be enjoyable instead of standing up to pick up the phone !

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app
Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why
http 192.168.1.133:4321/shbx_uri/ictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_2014-10-27-14-17-01.png
'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*
The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!
Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...
Hi,
Im trying to figure out how to remotely access one of my android devices from another android...
I need to be able to view the other devices screen and navigate through it...
My situation is Ive got a thermometer on my BBQ that has a bluetooth connection. Ill leave one device near it connected via bluetooth.
Due to range issues Id like to be able to access that device from elsewhere in my house (over WIFI). Would be super awesome if I could access it from anywhere using a data connection...
Anyone know of an app that will let me do that?
thanks in advance
guess it doesnt exist??

Tablet remote doesnt let you view the screen on your remote device

Lol.
I don't use Outlook, but in Teams, tap on your profile icon, then directly underneath you should be able to set your status.
I need be online on teams status when I'm not using app.
Something like - turn on app, then minimize it to background but app still thinking that I'm online - not away.
Dont think that's possible. However, if you use Outlook and teams on your laptop, then you can get a usb mouse Jiggler, this will keep windows active all the time
