remote access from another android? - General Questions and Answers

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??

Ive emailed teamviewer to find out if their app will do that... They dont list that either...
Have you tried android to android?

No I have tried only PC to android, but will try out tomorrow and let you know
I also found this app called Tablet Remote which you can try out

Teamviewer responded that their app doesnt do that.
Tablet remote doesnt let you view the screen on your remote device

Its hard to find an app that lets you remotely control from another android and let you view the screen as well, but I came across this just when I was about to give up

I think they have made a different app for Samsung Galaxy phones and a different app for the rest so both the links are above

How to use the computer keyboard on the HD2?

Is there anyway to redirect computer keyboard input from the computer to the HD2? This would be useful to type texts in the device using my computer keyboard.
I don't want something like My Mobiler since I don't want to see the whole screen but only to redirect input.
After all, I just want to use my keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard, but using and activesync usb connection...
Bluetooth ...burp

Thanks, but that applications does not seem to let me type an SMS using my computer keyboard (at least from the description)...
It does.
Try it, and uninstall it if I am lying. I've updated the link to the developer's website.

Mymobiler is a great app to access windows phone with computer, you can do all kinds of stuff there including download weather info by wifi from computer instead of GPRS.

I know that, but I don't want full control over the device, just being able to text...
If you're already connected to wifi, why would you need your computer to update weather info?
I have WiFi Remote Access installed on my HTC HD2. How exactly does it allow the use of a PC keyboard to be used through it on my HD2? I've looked and looked and see no setting for using a PC keyboard.
Bump......
Try some remote contrl app so you can use any function of your phone on your computer...
But I'm not sure whether there is any working with wireless connection.

Download version 1.7 and you can send sms messages via your pc (hence you can use your pc keyboard).

Too bad I cannot make this work because of my wireless network settings. I have a very secured access using MAC filters so that is probably why. The 1.7 is only a trial version right? It says on the website it has a timebombthat will go off sometime in June. Besides this app, any other app that can do the same thing? Thanks.

No, 1.7 Beta 2 is timebombed (it has more features). R1 is stable and works like a charm.
Visit here for the detail.
Why the need for such secure MAC filters? Do you work for the NSC or something? Why not relax your settings, give it a try... if you don't like Wifi Remote Access' features, then ditch it and secure your router like Fort Knox again.
dude just try pocket controller, its great i use it to see my device on my screen and controll it fully, it even lets me skin the session with the right device skin..

How did you know who I worked for??? Lol. My router is weird, I cannot connect to my network if I disable MAC filtering, which is really annoying since I have to add every single device that I want to connect. It took me a while to get that router figured out and I don't want to lose my connection so maybe I will try this app at work.
Okay, have 1.7 installed and still don't see the keyboard options.
Eh...it's on the desktop application under Remote Controls. It requires an access code, which would cause the program to likely be disabled after a period of time. I'll stick with the basic app.

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?

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,

How do I remote into my android phone on my windows desktop?

Hi,
I am looking to remote into my phone to do some typing. I have a camera program & I need to enter all the info on the phone.
I tried airdroid but it wont let me actually see the screen. Is there any way to enter data using a windows PC into the GSiII?
Thanks,
Rich

Try hooking a keyboard right to your phone. I saw it was a feature you can hook up a mouse as well. Not at the same time though
I personally like airdroid.
I have airdroid but I dont see how I can use my PC to control my android phone. Teamviewer looks like it only has an android controling a pc.

I've never even heard of this being done. You can control your PC with your phone via TeamViewer or Splashtop but not the other way around as far as I know.
I would just plug a USB keyboard to your phone if you really needed to type stuff out.

[Q] Remote Control the computer (need app)

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.
how about airdroid?
