control iconia from another android device?

archos has a remote app that lets you use your phone as a remote for the archos gen 8 series.
anything like it for the iconia? much easier to pause from the couch then getting up and going to the tablet

+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!

Hi there

I was wondering if there is an app like VNC (using wifi) that will work as a gaming pad or keyboard. I know it sounds silly but i play racing games with friends and we have to change seats if front of the computer. If the phone worked as keyboard via wifi it would be great (all u really need is up down right left and space bar for handbreak). Obviously it must support multi touch. I think this is a good idea for developers as it might be a very usefull. Btw sgs2 is amazing

Try remote droid, you need the app from the market, the server from there website to be running on your computer and to be connected to the same network aka via wifi.
Works well for me, trackpad plus keyboard!

This is what i was looking for but theres no arrows (like on the keyboard) and multi touch doesnt seem to work any ideas?

It uses the keyboard you have installed, so install one that has arrow keys.
Multitouch works for me, two fingers scrolls for example.

Would it be able to connect to VPNs such as Tunnelbear?

I'm wondering if is possible to sideload an app like Tunnelbear to access servers in the UK? Netflix' movie catalog there is way better than the one in the US.

I was able to get OpenConnect working after sideloading the APK, I had to hook up a keyboard and mouse to get it set up the first time but after that I can now just click on 'Connect' using the remote and it works.

We will work on official Nexus Player VPN support once we received our unit, hopefully everything goes well.

anyone try this yet?

App that turns my phone into a mouse.

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

NSTV Remote Control is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Use AFTV remote instead?

The Nvidia Shield TV remote is a huge disappointment! It doesn't have a MENU button. The main reason why I wanted a remote was to use it with Kodi. Has anyone tried pairing an Amazon Fire TV remote to their Nvidia Shield TV? Have you tried it using it with Kodi?

Fire tv stick remote pairs. Works great.
Fire tv (gen 1) Bluetooth remote doesn't work.
Fire tv (gen 2) WiFi direct remote works great. Voice search works too.
I use a keymap that was made for the firetv. Works great as well.

Thank you for the detailed write up!
That's weird that the 1st gen AFTV bluetooth remote doesn't work? Which gen Fire Stick remote did you use?

ive got a fire tv 4k remote which works fine...
so what are e the button options on the nvidia remote?

Are you telling me the buttons that look like Back and Home above the microphone button don't actually function as Back and Home?

Nstv remote is awesome, that's my opinion. Home and back button work without issues. Holding round middle button on kodi 16 (kodi 16 only) appears menu option (on file movie, picture audio, addon etc pressing and bit holding appears options/menu . Nstv remote is minimalist comparing with other remotes out there and major factors works flawlessly on kodi 16 (v16 < only)

NSTV Remote microphone input
I actually love the NSTV remote, i think it has everything it needs.
Android as a platform has moved away from hardware menu buttons already anyway so I don't see why this should be an exception.
Is anyone here trying to use it with full android rather than the stock firmware though?
I am, and everything works (even volume control and headphone audio output!) except the microphone.
If anyone has any suggestions for how I could go about debugging the microphone input, I would very much appreciate it as it's the last thing preventing my setup from being perfect.
The message I see when I press the voice input button on the remote is "Can't open microphone" (screenshot at end of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64552147&postcount=14 )
Android is clearly just not recognising it as an audio input device, but I'm not sure why.

has anyone tried the new apple remote? does that work

If you want extra control with the NSTV remote I suggest you install Xposed and the module Xposed Additions. I have set up to have the enter button long press to have pause\play, long press back for menu, long press home for power menu. You can also set up double and triple click. I love this remote now, more than my FireTV remote

Which version of the firmware are you using on the Shield TV? 3.0 or a previous version? Stock, StockRestyle or Full Android?
How did you pair it? Using the standard procedure, or do you need a specific app for Wifi-direct?
Thanks

JJ-KwiK said:
Stock. 3.0. You need to pair it like it's a shield accessory, not Bluetooth. No external apps are needed.

I just saw that trick on another thread, got the game controller to work but not the Fire TV 4K remote.
EDIT: now it's working with my second Fire TV 4K remote. So I suppose there is a problem with the first one I tried.
Thanks.

..

Did anyone try it on full Android Marshmallow?
If that would be working, including the voice search function, that would be great because shield game controllers aren't working wireless on full Android.
