App that turns my phone into a mouse. - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know I can plug a bluetooth mouse in. And it works very well. But I was just curious if there was an app that would let me do this from my phone.

Not for that app that I know of, but root is ez

What about an app like "Bluetooth Mouse" as a bluetooth enabled touchpad device. There is an option within the app to become discoverable as a bt mouse would be. Seems like the NP would simply add it as another input device.

i have my nexus 4 and nexus 5 kernels support usb hid mouse support, so you can plug in your phone and use it as a mouse as well

Wired tethering

Hi
Is there any way to get wired tethering with this device?
Thanks
The 'PDANET' app in the market will allow you to do so.

+1 This would be very useful, mainly for when connected via HDMI to a TV or playing music in a different room, then just use phone as a remote.
Point of interest, the game Crazy Snowboard from the market has an option where you can play on your tablet while controlling your snowboarder from an Android phone via wifi. Figured I'd mention it since this is along the same line as what we're looking for.
No way to control Iconia from an Android device ???

Digging up an old thread here. I use TeamViewer to access my other PC's from Android devices, but am looking for something where I could access the tablet from my PC. Is anyone aware of an app to remote access the Androids?
B to the izzump!

Havent tried it but this: market.android.com/details?id=com.iandrobot.andromouse.lite
or this: market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid
would probally work. Basically they just turn your phone into a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Theres many other apps like this, those are just two that i picked.
Im sure there are vnc servers apps out there for android. you could install a vnc client on your phone then remote in to the tablet with the vnc server running. That would be one way of doing it. That's not very elegant but would work.

Not likely what I'm looking for as I would not be near the tablet, and even if I were, it's not likely I would use this rather than just picking up the tablet.

I thought of this, and would work maybe 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time is if my tablet happens to be somewhere other than my house as it would then be on a different network and the client would not have a way to get to it, unless there are VNC servers that have a web service that broadcasts the tablets current location, similar to dyn-dns.

I was replying to a different post not yours, hence the quote i inserted before my reply
Hi,
I've found an app to control an android device from another android device. You have to install the app "DroidMote Client" on the device from which you want to control and install "DroidMote Server" on the device which you want to control. I'm using this on my HTC Desire to control my Transformer while it is connected to my TV. It works really good with this devices
Look at YouTube

Bluepurdroid is free on the market and works over bluetooth. You can choose to use a mousepointer to navigate your iconia, keyboard also works. You can also use a sixaxis controller. Haven't tried this on my A500 but works great on my ps3. The mouse and keyboard works just fine, like using a bluetoothkeyboard.
Great app for controlling the a500 while using it with a HDTV.
Something like teamviewer or vpn server?
hm while using team viewer to connect to pc in the popup window on pc there is a no. which is used to cennect to the device. Did someone tried to use this no. to connect back to the team viewer on the tablet?
i've been using DroidMote between my Iconia and my Fascinate for months running netflix and google music on my tv. definitely don't regret not getting a google tv device! ha. it runs great and yes you can use a wireless (usb) keyboard and mouse but most of us also own an android phone and they're much more convenient and one handed. just thought i'd put my two cents out there for anyone stumbling across this thread. totally worth the money, replaced my wii for HD netflix streaming!

I've got the Virgin Media TiVO Box (Think it's a Samsung model) which works fine when I select Virgin Media from the list.

On my WatchOn, once I added the VM TiVO Box, it was listed as a "DVR" Rather than a set-top box or anything like that. I only have two remotes - TV (for TV, obviously), and DVR which definitely works for my VM TiVO Box.
Found it all.
However it will not turn the box off, neither will it switch off my AV receiver m

I had the same issue initally. The very first code that it offers changes the channels fine but does not switch on/off tivo. Use the "no, try next code" to play around. The second code changes channels and operates power but shows up as DVR and does not offer the colour buttons. The third code offers me best compatibility - shows up as Set Top Box and most functions work. But the info button does not work and I cannot figure out how to get it to show the guide.
Also with the recent update, there is another tab called Universal Remote with which you can set one touch options -- switch on multiple devices. I have set it to function as follows:
Power button - switch on Samsung TV, Samsung Blu Ray and VM Tivo
Volume - via blu ray player
Channel - via Tivo
Let me if it does not work and I will try and provide you with more details.

Doesn't work with Note II
Error; unknown host
Maybe with one of the ROM that have tablet mode it will work.
Edit: You can control your PC from NOTE II with Splashtop Streamer but not the opposite.
It's working for me with sungsonic hd v2.

Splashtop doesn't allow running apps. Do you know other remote control app that allow running the phone apps within the remote session?

Splashtop is to control your PC from your phone. When you connect to your PC via Splashtop your phone become Windows XX and you can fully use your Windows/MAC/Linux from your phone even if you're not at home as it use the internet to connect. You can even set Splashtop as a second monitor and use it as an extended desktop. Pretty useful if you have a tablet.
Mobizen control your PHONE from pc.
To my knowledge only Mobizen can control phone app from remote.

Using a smartphone/tablet as a mouse

I found an app while searching for a way to use my tablet as a bluetooth mouse for my rooted Fire TV. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard I can use on it, but since I don't have a hub yet, I can only use one USB device at a time. If I can get Apps2SD to work with a flash drive, at least to see if it would actually work, I'd want to be able to keep that particular drive plugged in. I also use the Fire TV remote on my Tab 3 8.0 for the keyboard, but there are some screens where a mouse would come in handy. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the direction, in case the one app I found doesn't work out.
Wukong Romote is the app we are all using. It has a mouse module. Works well. Yes it's misspelled on purpose by the developer. .

Droidmote works very well. I haven't installed romote, but I believe its a good option for those without root.
Using wukong because it doesn't require root. My AFS isn't rooted. I heard droidmote does.
Sent from a Freedompop HTC Evo 4G
This is a new app (I think), and it's much smoother and more fluid than wukong. It doesn't have scrolling, but the dev has said it will be included in a future update.
