Any remote control app?

Are there any PC remote control app? Something similar to the team viewer app for iphone or another one?
Thanks!

Gmote 2.0 is kind of a remote app, mainly for media though.
It allows you to search through your files of your pc, from your phone,
and either play them on your pc, or on your phone. Has normal, play pause volume settings.
I.e. if i have an episode of family guy on my pc, i can use my phone to play it on my pc, which means i can be lazy and not move off my bed and watch it.
Also if i fancy doing it the other way round, i can stream the episode to my phone.
Only works over a local wi-fi though.

Thanks for this Phil, it's incredible and free!
It works perfectly on my Desire and Windows 7 PC (even though the installation instructions say XP/Vista).

No problemo
Only annoying thing is i cant stream most of my videos to my phone , buts that not the app fault, its fact there mostly .avi .
Great little app for us lazy people! Very useful when your watch a series of something with 20 mins episodes and you cant cant be bothered to get up and go the next one!

If any of you use MCE try myRemote, its awesome!

GRemote Pro is also awesome, not free though...

Thanks for your suggestions but I was looking for something more than just file browsing and running applications, more like having my PC desktop displayed and the mouse controllable on my desire's display.

GRemote Pro will allow you to control your mouse cursor and type etc, but won't display your PC desktop, you're talking about remote desktop software, not remote software.
For that try the LogMeIn free beta, or PhoneMyPC.

I'm sure there's a VNC client about on Android

TeamViewer and LogMeIn are both working on an android app I believe

I can Highly recommend Gmote.
Tried it today on Ubuntu desktop machine and It's awesome!

Logmein is already available. Teamviewer is still in dev.

phonemypc is awesome. The execute Actions feature allows me (with the help of the app developer), to open a MS Access database on my pc with one button press. When that database is opened it automatically runs macros within Access.
I then press another button from my Android to close the MS Access database on my PC. You can of course remotely control your PC from your android. However, as mentioned above it is the ability to one button press an action that can be a bat file on your PC.
Excellent and well worth the money IMHO

If it's a remote desktop app you're after, have you tried RDP Client or PocketCloud?

UnifiedRemote looks pretty good.

Here's the official link : http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer.apk
It's an awesome app, I must admit. It works really good.

TeamViewer beta 6.x both for desktop and phone work excellent! Pretty much exactly what I was after for months.
Initially, their front page ad scared me. Some Indian and Philippine fraudsters were using the same ad on their websites with a different edited product name which looks very similar overall (and the same blue website theme). They were phoning UK/US homes disguised as a legit business trying to get you to install such a product on your PC with lofty offers in return (free software, movies, etc). The product allowed them to basically take over your Windows machine without you realizing.

Remote control Android from PC

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is any app that would allow me to remote control my android from my PC when it's connected via USB, etc?
I have a few repetativ things that need to be done that may take a couple of hours on the 'droid which using a keyboard and mouse for would probably speed things up significantly.
Cheers
Adza

This conn via adb. what if adb devicenya conn via wifi can not?

Hi, may be with adb connect IP (wifi)
or try WebKey app from Market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.webkey
regards

Remote Control Add-on may be much simpler. And you can integrate it with Remote Web Desktop for more features, such like desktop SMS, file explorer, FTP, etc.

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.xdevelop.rm

That's fantastic! if only it was possible to do with unrooted phones. (Half the reason I'd love it is to assist / support others who are new to the phone

the best one ive found is this http://www.unifiedremote.com/ simple fast and can use anything ex shut down, sleep, WMP ect really good

Try LANmote, works over WIFI
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lanmote

your solution ?
For me it is myPhonexplorer:
It is a great applikation: Work on USB, WIFI, Bluethoose
You can organize your contacts, Task, Calender, Install Applikations, transfer files, Jobmanagment for Backup Files, Screen Remote !!, Sending SMS form PC, Lotus Notes + Exchange sync ..........
For me the best and it's free !
i use it same years
a nother good Tool is Total Comander and Android ADB 5.6:
so you can:
- Apps management (Install, Uninstall and Backup your apps)
- APK icons and metadata with custom columns
- Backup and Restore on ICS
- LogCat/BugReport/Dmesg (Copy file from folder), Shell
- Reboot menu with (Reboot, Hot Boot, Recovery, Download and Power Off)
- Screenshots (Copy file from .screenshot folder)
- Multiple devices with device rename functionality (friendly name)
- Bookmarks and WiFi auto-connect
- Rooted, semi-rooted and non-rooted devices
- Full unicode support
- x32 and x64 support
- TC command line integration
- Background copy/move
- Owner and Group custom columns
- Full file system management (download/upload recursive directories, copy, delete, rename, move, edit, view, overwrite confirmation and more)
- Copy/Move between 2 devices
- Set/Get file attributes/permissions - Change Attributes action in Total Commander
- ADB USB and wireless ADB (no need to install Android SDK)
- Auto mount support
- Debug logs
- Rich settings

TeamViewer is actually quite nice. I don't like how the free version times out after a while and the first tier of a paid version is over $700.

Could always try AirDroid?
Can't include outside link as under 10 posts...

VNC is good

Seems most people here are missing the OP's question
There are a lot of responses to this person's question (albeit, an old question) that are totally missing what he wants to do.
he wants to control his phone FROM his PC. Half the apps mentioned are remote control (like a tv remote control) app for your phone that control your PC.
second, apps like Airdroid are NOT the solution he is asking for. Airdroid is not a "remote control", it is a "remote management" app.
the OP wants to send the view you see as you look at your phone, to the PC, so that it can be manipulated with the keyboard and mouse.
For those that have used teamviewer, Logmein, VNC, .. you know what what I am talking about. This is one of those things that I think many people have a hard time understanding until they see it. For the longest time I could not get my parents to understand that I could SEE their screen on my PC as if I was sitting at their PC..
For the OP, or anyone else who is finding this thread on google, there are a few options and they all seem to need root.
LANmote
VM VNC Server
android-vnc
VNC server (by wencent)
VNC Server Ultimate (might support non rooted devices)
If you own a samsung device, you can use the official team viewer app, it works flawlessly (I use it to support my parents and their GS3's)
If you start your google search or market search with VNC SERVER or similar, you will be off to a good start.

I am trying to support my Mom who has an unrooted Galaxy Note 2. Can I use this TeamViewer app? Everytime I look at it, it looks like it is Android >> Windows not the other way around. Hope you're still watching this thread.

suggestion for those of you using linux box as media server to tv

so, just networked my office pc and my living room media pc, just using ssh tunneling. all media stored on office pc, accessed via living room pc to go to tv.
both systems on ubuntu. office on 9.10, living room on 10.04
i highly recommend using remote droid (an app) for anyone else doing the same. lets me control the mouse on either computer from my couch, and the onscreen keyboard works just fine. from my couch, i drag and drop whatever files i want from one computer to the other, load any media i want, etc.
it's brilliant. i couldn't be happier
all you need if you have the setup is the remote droid jar file running. you can get it on the remote droid website. all totally free.
i heart open source

it isn't like phonemypc. phonemypc is an emulator like a remote desktop kind of deal, like logmein. this is just a remote mousepad/keyboard. you still have to look at the screen to see what you're doing. very handy though if you're on the couch. and, you don't have to do it in what i refer to as 'squintovision'.

you can do that with phonemypc too, and gmote. I just like phonemypc because you don't have to set up ports or anything, it just works.

ah. you don't need to set ports for droid remote either. just tell it the local i.p. address of the computer you want to control. very handy for me, since i use it on more than one computer. and gmote is nice, if all you want to do is goof with your libraries. i can do whatever with remote droid. move files, start up hulu, navigate the web, etc. anything you could do sitting at the computer, you can do with remote droid (as long as you can still see the screen, lol)

I can't figure out how to set this up in Ubuntu.

i always used phonemypc because on my last android phone i didn't have wifi, phone my pc uses their server as an intermediary so you just log in and you can see all your computers listed on the account, no IP's to keep track of or anything.

go to the remote droid website to get the jar file. you'll need the java runtime already installed on your computer (can get through software repository). once you have the jar file, just right click > open with > java runtime. then start up the remote droid app on your phone.
the default address was wrong for mine (127.0.1.1). you can find out your device address by going into your router (usually address 192.168.0.1, unless you've changed it) using a browser. your pc will be listed somewhere. google how to find it specifically within your router. then, plug that address into the remote droid configuration. should work like a charm

Is there a way in Ubuntu to setup a fixed IP address?

Best mouse / keyboard app?

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!!

[Q] Remote access from device to device

I was wondering if there was a way to remote access an android device from an android device for example, accessing my fire from my phone.

I am not an expert but suspect that a wireless network would be the only way because as far as I know the 'fire only has wireless interfacing. Hopefully I am wrong though

Well I Knew that It would have to be via wifi. What Im asking though is are there apps that allow for remote access between android devices.

you would need a vnc server on the one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5vbmFpcHMudm5jIl0.
and a vnc viewer at the other:
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.androidVNC&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiYW5kcm9pZC5hbmRyb2lkVk5DIl0.
have never tried it but you could check it out
theoretically it should function
also from a pc or mac vnc viewer - there are plugins for browser

What are you trying to do? Wifi file explorer for filed. Google voice with desksms will allow you to text from your fire... etc

agree - tested some hours nightly
test pc (with browser) to kf:
there are some (vnc server on kf) which are used to control the kf from pc
basically they are working but they can't handle the screen rotation correctly
means the click points are disorted and you have no control
test galaxy tab (with browser) to kf:
nevertheless conection with the vnc server is working with javascript which i don't have on my vnc client test device
did search but java seems not to be available for android
anyone correct me if i'm wrong
still have to test with a vnc client on the galaxy tab ...
