Control mobile from Laptop - Galaxy 3 General

Hi all,
I wanted to remotely connect to my android device from my laptop, but unfortunately i am not able to get it working! I tried to install Droid VNC server on my mobile, but while connecting to it from laptop, it force closes!
After that i tried using Androidscreeencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/, which is a desktop app to control android device remotely, but even that shows some error while connecting
If anyone was able to connect remotely to their android device, please share it with me.

You can always try ADB Maskcontroller
there you have an option to connect your android device remotely and you can fully control your device

Or try android webkey: it allows you to control your phone with your browser!

Thanks guys! But just want to know out of curiosity as to why VNC server on our mobile is not working, when its working for most of the other mobiles!

Try the app Airdroid. I use this for my phone when I'm in class and such.

i use
droid VNC server
its a bit slow but works
set Scale screen to 50% works best for me
HTH
Use Airdroid
Not just viewing
Did it you mean actually control your DROID?
Then it's remote access
So far I've seen an app to control pc from DROID. Try looking it up in Google play
through wi-fi or adsl connection?
Another possibility: Try Teamviewer - it works both ways.

Anyone got Droid VNC Server working and able to view from PC?

I've got Droid VNC Server up and running on my Nexus 7 but when I open a RealVNC viewer from a Windows 7 PC I get a scrambled display. I've tried all of the display settings on the VNC Server on the Nexus but none seem to work.
Has anyone managed to get this working on the Nexus?
I think this indicates a bug getting the screenshot, it's most likely the pixel buffer length is different from the display width.
I will send you a private message for another app that works.

As far as I know, only our app, VMLite VNC Server, supports Android 4.2 at this point, you can try it, but it's not free, available from google store.

Not working on the Nexus 7 - both server and VNC viewer client hang.
can you email? We have many users using Nexus 7 and works well, so I will work with you to make sure it works, might be some configuration issue.

+1 to this, I've tried just about every VNC server app out there and none have worked so far on the N7 running 4.2. Really would like the ability to have control from the PC. I always have my phone up on the desktop when using it. So much easier than having to look at it to answer messages.
Did you try our paid app, vmlite vnc server? People are using it on N7 with Android 4.2, works very well and we tested it on daily basis.

The need to hook up the tablet to a PC with a USB cable after every reboot to restart the server means this isn't a great solution even if it can be made to work on the Nexus 7.

I noticed it but as the above user stated. It's too inconvenient having to connect to a pc to start it. Defeats the whole point of having it. Can easily mirror the device when it's tethered to the PC. If just like standard VNC server to work with 4.2 as it used to.
You have to root the device if you don't want to hook USB cable to pc to start it, then you can just press start/stop button. For non rooted device, you hook the phone to the pc, press a button to start the server, then disconnect the phone from the pc. You can remote to the phone afterwards as long as you don't power it off. In other words, once server started, no need at all to connect the phone to the pc.
My phone is not rooted, and seldom powers off, so I do this perhaps once a month, then you disconnect the phone from pc, which is not bad at all, just like a user would use USB cable to do data transfer. I don't know why it defeats the purpose, a few thousands of users are happy with it.

I can confirm that my machine is rooted but this didn't work as you described when I tried it. Neither the PC nor the button on the Nexus screen would start the server. Only had 15 mins to try it before getting a refund but it certainly wasn't plug-and-play
Thanks, that must be a bug, no wonder you mentioned a hang on device, if we found su binary, it will wait for 30secs to try the root way of starting the server, but somehow didn't work out on your device. What method did you use to root your device?
If you email to me, will try to send you debug version to test.
Which version of our app did you try? anything before v1.1.6 may have more issues on this.

I also tried and is the same as all other vnc servers, just won't work. I am also rooted, the devices i use and ROMs are in my signature.
That's interesting and weird, seems Nexus 7/10 (Android 4.2) differs from person to person? We do have other customers successfully run our app on 4.2. I can debug with you if you like to.

Trying to run on a galaxy s3 clone, seems quite good compared to the other free VNC server, all but 1 just didn't work.
Have problems with keyboard, nothing sent from buffer until leftmouse clicked
any suggestions?
occasionally get message saying server stopped, but it's still running
seems to disable softkeyboard on android device, any option to prevent this
F4 can cause rotation - stop server OR crunch
VNC on Nexus 7
Hi,
I have been trying to use Fast Droid and Droid VNC on Nexus 7 but it always results in a scrambled image on a VNC viewer. I have tried various viewers, both on a Windows and Linux PC. Did anyone got the VNC working on Nexus 7?
Interestingly when I use "adb screenshot" command on my Nexus 7, I get the same scrambled image as what I see on the VNC viewer.
I got scramble image too ..
anyone have the solution ?
thx :good:
No VNC servers work
droid VNC Server
Pixel Beta
VNC_server
VNC Server Ultimate
None of these work with my rooted VZW SGS3.
Tough to believe that there is no working VNC server.

Is there anyway to get your android screen to come up on your pc and remotely run apps on your pc. Plus control the pc itself like remote desktop.

Not sure about running the screen on the pc, but I use Pocketcloud for remote desktop. Hope this helps.
I'm not sure what you're looking for, but you could just run apps on your PC using BlueStacks.
OTOH, I have an app on my Nook Touch that can be controlled from my Kyocera Rise or my PC.

what is the name of the app?
I am using bluestack for a while, problem is that u can´t use google play at all. so u have download the apps on your phone and then copy to the pc.
Bluestacks is not as fast as your phone.
You must be facing low performance in it...
Even if you have a gaming ATi or Nvidia card

Usage:start the app airdrie, access your through a browser on your pc.
Second possible app is Droid vnc server. Not tested but seems like a remote desktop contrôle for android
I hope it helps

Really the best and easiest way to do that without emulation is to get a mhl cable assuming your device supports it. Then you'll have a mirrored connection on your pc monitor or TV if you want and can use it like your phone.

As far as I've seen on SockteQ's page and product brochure, it is targeted to tablets, and not for trivial smartphones (i.e. gives a view of an Android tablet screen in the prog window). Their efforts are great, but there's no clue for the trivial handsets user.

control android from pc over the internet

Hi All,
I searched a lot for solution that I will be able to help my dad with his nexus 4 .
I want to control his android from my pc .
Team viewer not working with nexus 4.
vnc server is not working properly on nexus 4.
Other solutions only connect on the same wifi or with USB.
I can't imagine that there is no solution for it ?
Can you help ?

With team viewer you can control your PC via your Android mobile but not the other way around....
You can use my phone Explorer if you're connected to the same WiFi.. I have used it to recover data from a relative's touch screen conked phone

Possible to remote desktop INTO shield tv?

I already have a way to remote desktop to my PC from the shield tv, but I would like to be able to remote desktop into my shield TV from another device, like my pc, or smartphone. is this possible? Methods i've tried so far don't seem to work.
Also, im rooted.
There are VNC servers for Android. Give that a shot.
TeamViewer Host should work in theory. Maybe it requires a full version of Android?
With network debugging enabled I have been able to remote in to my shield using Vysor - a chrome extension. Works pretty well.

On my Shield I can connect to Teamviewer Host, and I can bring up the desktop. When I try to mouse click on the desktop, the whole machine reboots (this is with root access).
I've got a dialog with Teamviewer support about this issue.

Thanks. sounds like you've gotten further than i have. I did get the screen to appear on my pc ONCE, and for a split second. ever since and before then, nothing. i dont even get the screen to pop up. ive tried everything i can think of. this was an issue with nexus player and fire tv devices as well. seems anything android tv-related operating systems won't play nice with teamviewer.

The response from Teamviewer is that the SATV is not currently supported, and that device support is added by popular demand.
So the more people who contact them, the better.
If you just would like to manage files on the Shield, AirDroid works pretty well. You need to sideload it to the Shield though.

I've got plenty of options for transferring files. Just want to remotely access the shield tv to play with things like settings and configuring stuff when im at my pc, or away from home, rather than having to wait till i get home all the time.

thanks for the heads up. I will contact teamviewer requesting shield tv support, and suggest anyone else visiting this thread to do the same.
if you google teamviewer and android tv, apparently they added support. it just seems to specific devices. i recall it not working right on my nexus player, and fire tv's either, so i dont know what "popular" android tv's teamviewer decides to support.

Hmm. Vysor does work over a LAN if you turn on ADB over TCP/IP. It might work over the Internet if you set up port forwarding, but it would have basically no security. Maybe an SSH tunnel would work?

Mobizen?
did you try mobizen? i was searching for something for my sony bravia android tv when i found this thread. Was trying some of your solutions. Mobizen used to work perfect for me on my android 4.4 box. Doesn't work on my Android TV though but perhaps for you guys it does. It's a great free app (and I'm not working for the guys)
kind regards
Subscribed. I tried droid VNC and it did not work. Also looking for a way to VNC into my nVidia Shield Android TV or any remote control (not just file transfer) that works locally or internet, I usually connect using OpenVPN to my home network...

Install the remodroid app from the play store on your phone and the shield TV, set the Shield TV to Stream and the phone to Connect and you are now able to remotely viw your Shild TV from your phone.
I have flashed the Full Marshmallow OS and am running Kodi, as an FYI.
