I apologize if this has come up before, I did search and didn't find anything. I'm looking for a tool that I can remotely control my phone via my windows desktop. I use my phone all day at work listening to music, etc...
I've downloaded the latest release of screencast, and am able to see my phones screen, but no keyboard/mouse input is working so I still have to control the phone from the screen on the phone.
It appears that other people are having the same issue with this app. Anyone got the screencast app working properly on the vibrant or have any other suggestions for different apps?
Thanks,
Jeremiah
What do you mean you downloaded the lastest version of Screencast? I dont see an app called Screencast in the market, only an app that accesses ScreenCast Online videos called ScreenCastsOnline.

Ah, ok. Did you root your device?

Yep, device is rooted, other people are having the same issue. there are some work arounds other's are using, but didn't work for me. I just tried out vnc server for android and that worked ok, but no landscape mode. And I have to wake up my phone from the screen after it went out to be able to do anything with it, which defeats the purpose for me.
I guess I'll keep searching, the vncserver for android is pretty sweet though.
Been trying to get this, and droid explorer to work all day, with very little luck :/
Not quite sure where to post this, so I'll try here. Mods, please move to the correct forum if it is in the wrong one.
Back when the OG Droid came out, the screen could rotate all 4 ways (up, landscape left, landscape right, upside down). Never had a need for it, but it was cool. I noticed that as Android evolved, being able to hold your device upside down disappeared. Again, never had a need for it, so IO didn't care.
Now, I need it. In my car, I put the phone in the cupholder of my armrest/center console. Because the charging and headphone jack is on the bottom, I have to operate everything upside down. Is this an Android or manufacturer *feature* that was removed? Can it be put back? Can a mod be made to make it work?
I don't want a dock for my phone, I've had them before, and don't like them. I also like to have full control of my phone, not just what the manufacturer wants me to control.
Thanks.
There seem to be a few apps in the Play store that may help, here is one that looks promising:
Edit: can't post links. Do a search for Screen Rotation Control

I never thought to look for an app. Thanks, I'll check it out right now.
EDIT: Turns out it's a no-go. It has the option for reverse portrait, but it doesn't work.
If you have rooted your phone look for Roms that support this.

Ultimate Rotation Control by FAMEIT *does* support reverse portrait or at least the licensed version does. But I did root, not sure if that matters.
Good luck!

Dang. There were a few options but that one looked promising by the description.
Try a search in the app store for "Reverse Portrait" and give the free ones a shot...? Some seem to have a "force" option for when it doesn't happen automatically (or lock in reverse portrait). If they can be invoked with one click, it wouldn't seem too much of an inconvenience.
Edit: Rotation Control Lite was the one I was looking at, might try that myself.
I personally own a Tab Pro 8.4 LTE version. As all we know, Samsung has made the menu button of the Tab Pro Series into muti-windows switcher and also the shortcut of task manager. In some apps, there may be a menu button for you to press. But if there is no menu button in some third party apps, you can long press the menu button to open up the menu. I hope it helps!:laugh:
In case anyone didn't know, instead of getting multi windows by dragging and dropping. You can tap the app for floating pop-up windows. Also, you can take a screen shot of your tab by swiping from the right of the screen using the entire bottom side of your hand.

Uhhh... I think you meant "long press the recent apps button to open up the menu"
So I FINALLY figured out edge zoom. When viewing a web page do a double tap. On the second tap, leave your finger down, then slide your finger up or down to zoom in or out.
Making this discovery, though, doesn't mean I'm any less ticked off that I can't disable it because it's constantly being triggered accidentally.

There is built-in Watch On app. Or you can download 3rd party software from play store (I use Peel).

Do you have the Tab Pro 8.4? And if so, is Peel working properly?
On mine, it only displays in portrait mode (which is contradictory to where the IR Blaster is located) and only uses about a quarter of the screen (seems to be behaving like the device is a phone, instead of a tablet). Also, the text in the menus is off, again like its not correctly designed for the screen resolution. Peel worked really well on my old Note 8 (broke the screen); so I'm surprised to see these issues.
Since Peel is mostly unusable for these reasons, I've been using WatchOn. WatchOn is not bad, but not great either. It doesn't seem to have as much personalization as Peel, and often displays shows I don't have interest in.
Minimised apps!
Tap (don't drag) one of the apps in the sidebar, it will open up in a new window on top of whatever you have running. Now tap the minimise symbol '_' on the top right of the window. The app gets reduced to a small disc that can be moved around to wherever you want!
It's not earth-shattering but it's a nice touch!

Are you rooted? I'm running stock os model SM-T320 wifi bought from best buy. I've not installed the latest os update with "kids mode"
I say all that to say Peel works just fine in landscape for me.

Is this a tip or a trick?
Seriously, this is not the right thread for this question, or even the right forum section. This belongs in the Q&A section.
What apps are stopping? Did you migrate data between ROMs? Did you do a full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik) between ROMs?
I did not know where to fit my question. I apologize. The browser always shows me error. Always use advanced wipe function
No method found on the internet helped me

You really didn't answer most of my questions. Its hard to help you, if you don't provide the information requested. Even saying you used Advanced Wipe doesn't really say anything specific. What partitions did you select to be wiped?
Did you migrate any data, like using Titanium? Specifically any system data?

Seriously, just another way to skin a cat. Maybe Samsung wanted something to fall back on, due to all of Apple's patent lawsuits.
for redpoint73,
*Did you migrate data between ROMs?
I do not know what. Error "unfortunalety ... Has stoped" I had since I was a stock rom t320xx ... ana1. Disturbed by this, we decided to use a custom rom cm11
Did you do a full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik) between ROMs?yes, Except I used to wipe sd-card
I used odin for root and install custom flashify to recovery. That was all.

So if anybody else like me is coming from the G2 and 3 you might be missing smart screen.. That little feature that detects your face while looking at the screen to keep the screen awake instead of fading out. I personally felt it a real convenience. I would like to get it back, I pulled the app from my G3 titled wise screen. I installed it like a normal app with success. I used activity launcher to try and launch it, but it fc's. So I'm guessing we'll need root to get it functional. When we do get root is there anyone else interested in joining me on this quest? I would really like to get this one up and running. I can't for the life of me understand why they left it off. I feel like I'm back on ics or jb with out it..
Try kinScreen from the playstore
It works great

I have to agree with you. I am so surprised they took it out. I spent 30 min on the phone trying to find it. I tried the app the other post recommended, not as good, it will never turn the phone off in the car when the phone is mounted and the car is moving.
I, too, was looking for the smartscreen settings. Was surprised that LG decided to remove it. Will try the above mentioned kinscreen later
Anyone know if Samsung removed it from the S6? They started the feature and it was one of the more useful features they added to Touchwiz. I was glad when LG copied it. Most of the other stuff was junk, but that was actually useful.
That sucks. I wonder if they removed smart screen to keep the screen from running down the battery.

What's really weird is that the Smart Screen app is installed on the phone. Go to app manager, and check out the "All" list and there's Smart Screen. There's just no way to activate it.

It's on the phone but doesn't seem to work. I don't see any place to enable it and creating an activity to open the app causes it to crash.
Never really worked for me on G2/3.
I miss this and have found an app on the play store that mimics it. It worked well for me on the G3.
Verizon has this. I disabled it though. It worked great on my G2 for the time I tested it. For me, I am typically using my phone while in the middle of doing something else. So it is a waste.

Not on mine H810. I am wondering if maybe they built something into the package? As since I have had mine, and if I'm using it or just looking at it the screen doesn't shut off.

On Verizon, you can see the service - it is not an app - BUT there are no Settings I can find or know of that actually allow you to activate it or interact with it in anyway. So it is "there" but seems to do nothing and cannot be setup.
EDIT: I used the hidden Verizon menu and found this "smart screen" but when you click on it, it forecloses and crashes. So, it is as if that first part of the services is there BUT the actual functionality is not as using the hidden Verizon menu I cannot activate it and access settings or turn it on to work - and I would think from that hidden menu, we should.

I installed it yesterday to give it a go. Really nice clean interface, im liking it a lot.
Some benefits.
Simple interface, clean...Shows speed and time and shortcuts to some apps (I only use music, digital radio and spotify so this is perfect for me)
Installs as an App and you can start it from shortcut, once happy you can have it start automatically on boot as your default launcher.
Has in built screen dimming which works (All other auto dimmers have never worked for me)
3 different launcher themes, im using the one in the photo.
Easy to remove if not happy

Yes all hard buttons function the same, Back exits apps and Home takes you back to desktop.
Really its just a choice of 3 new launchers in an App rather than playing around with system files
This looks really clean!
I gave it a shot on mine. Looks really nice. I wish the app buttons were a bit larger though. Looks much more like a OEM type interface.

Ye thats what i thought, looks similar to WinCE radio launchers
One thing i found to be a pain was that android by default, launches apps you had previously running (Which includes this Launcher)
So its already loaded when your device boots up, but as you open up your music, the Self boot of the app kicks in as well and you go back to desktop.
Im sure easy to get over somehow
So you have it set to autoplay off usb? Mine was playing the music as soon as it booted. If you disable the autoplay it doesn't launch the music app on startup.
I have it and love it! Originally downloaded it because it uses power amp as the default music player, I downloaded pro because with pro I can make it as my default home screen launcher. I've been very pleased with the results so far. And I've been running its for about a month.

Yes, a 1 device solution is generally always more reliable than a 2 device.
I'm a bit confused by this app. Can someone help please? I bought a car with AndroidAuto built in and I made the assumption (probably wrongly) that this is a replacement launcher for my car dash. But - I'm not sure how to get it to mirror into my vehicle. Do I need AA installed, or do I use Mirror Link? Confused!
Hard Buttons
How did you connect the head unit to your hard button controls?
How to add activity shortcuts to Car Launcher app?
How to deactivate speed in statusbar?
I used the Trial for about 5 minutes before I purchased the full version. This is exactly what I needed Now, Unfortunately im going to have to purchase poweramp i think
Using it for a few weeks now. Very happy with it.
