So i basicly need this for my mother.. She really does not understand how to use an android, and for some reason she keeps setting her devices ringer volume to silent, which means she does not hear when i try to call her. Not only that but she screws so many things up on this phone, like removing shortcuts from the launcher and so fourth, that i need to come to her twice a week just to fix things. It would be nice if there were some tool that lets me control her phone from my pc, or maybe my android device. Like teamviewer but for Androids.
Can you guys assist ?

What about using Teamviewer?
and for the ringer on silent mode I know how to do it easily, use Tasker.
Create a profile "When phone receive SMS from X contact with Y message ---> Task: Set ringer volume to 10."
or even simpler:
"when phone receive call from X contact --> Task: set ringer volume to 10"
I'm using this on my phone and its work great. I work on a night shift and my phone is in silent mode but my GF can text me a private code to activate my ringer if there is an emergency and need to call me.
Same can be done to activate teamviewer client:
Create a profile "When phone receive SMS from X contact with Y message ---> Task: set wifi and/or mobile data to ON and launch team viewer client"
You'll oubvisouly need to set a permanent ID and password for the client so you can automate the process.
Then you'll be able to send a sms to that phone to activate its wifi and team viewer client, you enter the password on your side and can access the device remotely.

Tasker would be a solution for many of the things. But i would like a more "total control" solution of that is possible. Team Viewer for Android does (as far as i know) not allow me to control an Android device but allows my Android device to control computers (not the other way around)

No, you can control your android device on your computer.
Download TeamViewer 10 on your computer and TeamViewer QuickSupport on your Android + the QuickSupport module for your phone brand.
Then you can use tasker to remotely launch TeamViewer QuickSupport on the phone and you can then connect your computer to the phone and take control. But someone will have to click "I agree" button twice on the android to be able to control it.

what i want to do is to automatically add a specific prefix to all outgoing calls made, for the purpose of saving calling fee in my area. for instance, i want to add 1234 before any call number, whether it's from call history, contact, or any other sources.
im a .net developer, but i didn't find any managed library that can intercept a phone call and make modifications to it. i also explored the TAPI a little bit, it appeared to be able to do the work for me. but the problem is i've no idea of c++ programming.
so is there anybody here who can help me on how to wrap these native methods into managed counterparts?
any/other clue would be appreciated.
Take a look at Google Voice. Perhaps that might be simpler to use to save money on calls?
Hi,
try with Settings > Connections > Advanced > Dialing Rules
I think you can setup a profile that fit your needs.

doesn't work. and i don't think that setting is for phone connection.
actually i've changed my idea to developing a separate application to access call history and contact. and then when call button is clicked, use the managed Phone class to dial out. this still needs native dll as to accessing the call history. but this seems to be more practical than intercepting outgoing calls.
iDialer
http://supware.net/iDialer/
Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but I use this with my Googlevoice configuration to make free calls. Here's how I have it set up:
1. Installed iDialer
2. Installed configuration CAB that I built through the iDialer website
3. Click the phone icon within iDialer to set it to "Ask" which service to use.
4. I also have installed iContact, so I then go the contact I want through iContact.
5. I select the number for that contact that I want to dial (Home, Work, Mobile, etc.)
6. My phone brings up a pop-up asking:
-Alltel
-GoogleVoice Internet
-GoogleVoice CallingCard
7. I select what I want and it dials that instantly.
This works VERY well for me, and I am able to use my callingcard for out-of-network calls, and Alltel for quick in-network calls.
Hope this info helps!

thanks for the details.
i have 2 queries b4 actually trying it:
1. does the phone call get available via the network? if yes, then it's not applicable for me, cos i'm using gprs which is slow if i want to transfer voice.
2. i checked out google voice and found that it only supports numbers in US. true?

Interesting app. Unfortunately crashes often and looses BT pairing. How can I help to troubleshoot? I have an Omate Truesmart and a Galaxy gear with a Galaxy Note 3. Also, app is quite confusing. Is there a good guide to follow to understand each settings?
Thanks
