Hi, not sure whether this is the right forum, but is there an app available that can make the phone be recognised as a USB keyboard. Did a quick market search but not all apps are visible to me at the moment.
Cheers
Not that I know of, although there are apps that let you use your phone as a wireless keyboard such as remotedroid.
Anyone use anyone of those apps that let you run a server on your desktop / open up an app on your xoom and control your mouse and keyboard via the touch screen?
if so which is the best one optimized for the xoom? thanks!
PRemoteDroid. The server doesnt need to be installed, just a few files and you run the program. I keep a copy on my phone and Xoom incase I need to use it elsewhere.
If you are referring to accessing your computer remotely via Remote Desktop then I would suggest Remote RDP. It was free and works well on the Xoom. I am out of town quite a bit and access an office computer with it now. My laptop stays at home!!

my mobiler is the easiest i have tried. Just install the software on the pc (i use win 7 64 bit). turn on the "debugging" in the development settings of the phone. it will automatically push the app into the phone. Very simple indeed...

my mobiler needs the phone to be connected to the desktop with a usb cable. thats a turn off. and if a rom (such as some of the ics roms based off the leak rom) isn't supporting usb mount, then theres no use. webkey can be connected to your phone from any wi-fi connection, from any browser, from any pc.
Mymobiler was the ipso facto app for wm6.x to enable one to control ones phone via a pc.
many people were waiting for it to be ported to android. It does support wifi as well as USB connections. I'm fiddling with mine now, as it happens. (downloading webkey, never heard of that one so thanks. I'll have a fiddle with that one too. It looks far more complicated i.e My mobiler is exactly what is says. Your phone on your desktop. I do like the look of the GPS stuff in webkey though.. Still fiddling...)
Webkey... far too complicated. How many user names/passwords/registration of device with them even?
kies air

I agree with that, but it also depends on what requirements you got
little bit slow, but worth it a try
webkey is slow over the wifi. cant connect with usb. much trickier than mymobiler. Also much slower than my mobiler.
Actually, I agree. Hence, I've uninstalled it since discovering Airdroid. Its also free on the now Google Play Store (seriously though, Google Market sounds much better, I don't know what they were thinking.)
Its similar to webkey, but its more organized and has a better layout. And if you can't or don't want to connect via Wi-Fi you can tether it to your PC with a USB. You can control your Note from the browser as well. Definitely check this one out, much simpler to use. I don't like apps that restrict me to only be able to control my phone or act as a file manager with a cable. But this has both options.

You can now use our VMLite VNC Server, the first and only VNC Server that works on any devices, on rooted or unrooted devices.
It provides you the full control of the device from a PC or from another device, with very repsonsive keyboard and mouse operations.

Hi guys,
Wanted to know if there is any application to take complete control of my nexus 4 from pc [windows/ubuntu]. Have tried airdroid but it doesn't let me take complete control like launching apps via pc is not possible.
Also, tried remotedroid on windows but the mobile screen is not getting displayed on pc... but controlling is working...
Let me know if anyone has any suggestions or views.
Thanks
I'm looking for something like samsung sidesync that mirrors your phone onto PC however with sidesync you can only have one or the other; is there anything I could use that would allow me to simultaneously view my phone screen while it's being mirrored onto my computer?
Teamveiwer.
Download the Teamviewer software to your computer then download the Teamviewer QuickSupport app on your phone. Create a teamviewer account and add your phone as a device on Teamviewer. You can then connect and control your device and use/see the device in person at the same time.
and what about Airdroid?

You can consider ApowerMirror, I am using it, it can allow me to view phone screen from both PC and phone. Many Android brands are supoported. Here are some details you can refer to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apowermirror-display-phone-screen-pc-t3514364
