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 is maybe interesting for you...

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.

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

There's now an Android version at MyMobiler web site.
(Yes, I know this is an old thread but it's what came up near the top when I googled 'Android remote control'.)

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.
Hey guys,
I spent all night trying to reenable USB on my device. Rebellos and I have been designing bootloaders and screwing with settings which are not normally accessed. So somehow I put my device into MODEM mode so it would try to connect to the computer as a data device instead of a camera/phone. I was seriously thinking my device was borked because I've been working inside it... and while it's a Samsung, it's not totally bulletproof.... So, to make matters worse, some asshole posted an invalid hidden code all over the internet to access factory mode on the Galaxy Camera.
Here's how you access factory mode and change your device between a normal camera and modem. Every other guide on the internet is wrong.
1. Install Nova Launcher from the market
2. hold on the launcher screen until a menu pops up.
3. select shortcuts
4. select Activities
5. select Factory Mode
6. Select Factory Mode FactoryCTRL
7. launch the Factory Mode shortcut you just created
8. use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894102 to locate codes for your device.
I fixed my device with the *#7284# -- Phone Utility (USB Settings) code. Both should be set to PDA.
This technique should work for EVERY device. The codes will vary, but you should be able to access factory modes.
This is very useful information!
I don't see the thanks button.
But anyway, any luck on getting the device to make / receive calls / texts? Or print money at least?
Thank you.
Nevermind....not reading through

So why or what is the reason for factory mode? In other words, what do we gain by doing this?
what purpose ?
"I fixed my device with the *#7284# -- Phone Utility (USB Settings) code. Both should be set to PDA. "
Sounds feasable to me to at least have the option available
Nice and TKS

Hiya, just curious:
Are you using Nova Launcher just to get access to a dialler?
Thank you.... still can't see a USB mode though
Hi,
New member here and I want to thank you for the link for the code and the tip on using Nova to unlock more stuff from the SGC.
I did what you instructed above but saw that my device already had PDA chosen by default and I still can't see the USB Utilities on my Settings window, nor can I move apps from device to SD.
My SGC only has a few apps installed beyond the factory installed ones. Probably 5 utility and browser apps and about 10 games (kiddie ones like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Minecraft) etc. and it's already running out of device storage space.
Is it possible to have the enable USB mode? Thanks

use GL to SD
the code via calculator works in getting into factory mode..
If the connected Camera is listed as being in MODEM mode, you should also be able to connect to it via terminal and using AT commands to set factory mode and available windows "ports". (MODEM, PHONE/PDA, etc.) These AT commands are (modem firmware) device dependent... So unless someone tell me the BP/CP chip used in this device (or send me the modem.bin), I can't tell you which AT commands to use.
=================== update ===================
I've found that they use the XMM 6260 as detailed in the THIS post. So If you're very brave in experimenting with these connections, you may want to look into this command:
Code:
AT+XSIO -- Configuration trace and modem (AT) interfaces
[ ONLY do this if you are not afraid of loosing PC connection to Camera! ]
This was a VERY useful post! Thanks! :good:
sorry to revive an old thread, but it seems my GC keeps going back to MODEM mode after a second soft reset. Is there any way to fix this?
thanks in advance,
Great information! Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
Excuse for my english, I'm french.
My company will change the phone for S4 (80).
I'm looking for software to make live screencast to present android and how to use it, via a pc on video projector. I tried AirDroid but it does not work (i have a blank screen, when I try capture). I tried AndroidScreencast but the fps is really slow. I tried also webkey but I do not have the screen. And teamviewer I have not ID to connect...
Can you help me?
Big thanks in advance,
Crunch
I use Droid Explorer but its kind of old already but it works for me. You could always cast via HDMI too

you can still use teamviewer without account. just install the app on the phone and download it on the pc.
on pc, choose to run the program, not install it.
run the app on the phone. once you install the samsung addon, you can start the app (the app asks for the addon at first run). on the phone, you will see the ID.
Use the ID provided by the phone to connect from PC (not sure if it will ask or not any password) - follow the steps.
I have tried teamveauwer, but I have no ID when I launch the app.
I have found my happyness: mirrorop receiver
There is a btter application Mobizen.
Thanks.

I have three (3) User Profiles on my N7. Mine (Admin), Wife's (Std User), and Kids' (Restricted User)
After updating to Lollipop the Kids' Restricted Profile no longer has Gallery/Photos access. I've gone to my Admin settings and checked the restricted access, there are two for Photos, I can only turn on one and the other says not available for Restricted Users. Turning on the one I can, gives me the Photos icon, but I can't open it.
I have a "Nexus 7 camera app" installed, I can scroll right from the photo screen and see old photos, but I have no access to the Gallery/Photos.
Is there a way to get Gallery/Photo access to a Restricted Profile?
Or an app that gives my kids access to their Photos, Screengrabs, Saved Images?
Thank you.
Photos is part of G+ so you need to enable that as well, or just install something like Quickpic.
G+ is prohibited on a Restricted Profile too. I installed a third party gallery from the Play Store, looks like that will work alright.
what app did you install that worked? I also want to do this because photo and video is what my youngest children use the most!
