Viewing Phone Screen on Pc

Hi Folks
Is it possible to view and control my phone on my pc?
thanks for any suggestions

It depends if your device is rooted. If it is then it's really easy using an app called 'Picme'. It's designed for allowing you to use your web-browser to screenshot your phone, but a (very good) side-effect of this is that you can control your phone by clicking and dragging your mouse in the browser as if it was your finger.
Otherwise the closest I've done is simulate Android on my computer, which isn't the same at all.

I tried webkey in market, it just working awesome!

With androidscreencast you can view your phone on the computer but not control it.

Try Lazydroid...you can access sms/calls/contacts from your pc browser via wifi...

In the name of Allah
I am using Remote Web Desktop.
This app have a addon that called 'Remote Control Add-on' , with this addon you can connect your phone remotly, like remote desktop on MS.Windows.
This addon use vnc server and you can connect to your phone with vnc client.

No vnc server at all
I think there is still no working free vnc-server for android as anyone who wrote sources for it

file manager for mac

Hello guys I need small help, what is the best file manager application for mac? o wanna transfer music videos and pics between GN and iMac
ta for helping
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

You don't need a file manager per se...
This is the app you use to connect your GN to an OSX machine to transfer files. Google created this for the specific reason of interfacing with android devices that use MTP and not UMS.

You can also transfer over WiFi with an FTP setup. But this is easier.

Lol he doesn't need all that. If he just wants to move pics/music/vid/files back and forth, simple download from Google. Done.
And another thing on that post, I don't see how having to connect your phone via USB to sync with 'Mail', 'Address Book', iCal, iPhoto and iTunes is more seamless than simply letting everything backup wirelessly and automatically with Google services. You're making it harder on yourself by relying on your computers built-in apps. You don't buy an Android phone so that you can go back to the 2007 iPhone strategy and start plugging your phone into the computer every night to sync. That post is basically showing you how to step back from all the great things Android does.

Thanks guys I will give it a try

[Q] RDP Without Client Companion App?

What I'm looking for is an app that RDP into Windows based computers. I know there are a bevy of apps such as, Splashtop that can do this. However you have to install some companion software on the host machine ahead of time for it to work. Is there an app that can just RDP, minus the extra software install?

You're best off using a tunnel between SSH and VNC to connect.
I've been using that for interaction from my phone/tablet to my server.
I use ConnectBot and Android VNC.

2X client will do rdp without any other app.

I use Remote RDP Lite everyday, works right off the fly. However if you;re connecting to Windows 7 box, you are going to need go to your remote settings and check it to less secure like you're connecting from a XP box.

Try this new app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.tanas.remoter (sorry, can't post links yet). Just what you are looking for.

Pocket Cloud and Splashtop both require you install some companion software, that's what I was previously using.

I use Pocket Cloud daily, the companion app isn't required. You just have to create the connection manually within the app instead of using their auto-find-my-computer-in-the-cloud method.

I use this almost everyday. It has a nice touch screen control and multiple keyboard screens. Lots of keyboard shortcuts.

I use the full version of remote rdp, very light weight and smooth...I've tried most of the rdp apps and I find that a lot of them have too much going on with the GUI and or pointer that end up taking up precious screen real estate (I only use this on my N7 btw). Also I've found Bluetooth keyboards, USB kb/m and a USB credit card reader all work through remote rep. But just try out all the free versions of the above recommended.

Best app for controlling your PC/Mac from phone

Hi, All:
The other day I needed to study and take notes on a few Powerpoint slides, so I decided to take over the living television and make it my giant computer monitor. The only problem was, my HDMI cable didn't reach the couch, so I needed to find a way to remotely control my laptop. After a few minutes of browsing the Play Store, I found WiFi Mouse. One Android app install and one quick and easy computer app install later, all I had to do was tap the "auto connect" button and I was up and running. My Galaxy Nexus became a trackpad that was connected via my home WiFi network. There's even a scroll wheel in portrait mode, as well as the ability to use the Android keyboard for typing. I was also able to scroll using two finger gestures and move windows and icons using three fingers. All these features were included in the free version that I downloaded, which met my needs perfectly. For those that want extra features like hotkeys, dedicated minimize/maximize/close buttons, and an in-app keyboard, there is a paid version available for $2.99.

Team viewer is really handy, use it to help out the folks for trouble shooting their PCs, has saved me a lot of time/$ not having to drive there since they forgot how to print/upload/login.
LOL

Convenience
Easy to setup and use, the only downside is this app makes me lazy haha.

Easy to use and turns your phone in to your remote control. Love it

Real vnc is the best for me. You need a dynamic dns if you want to connect from Internet but it is very smooth and secure.

Really easy to use and to install, and a really good app overall.
WiFi Mouse maybe the best remote control app.

Works well and love sitting on the couch and being able to surf the web.

Phone My PC (http://softwareforme.com/?page_id=6) is by far the best imho. Rather then have to move the mouse around, you can just click on any area of the screen.
Aside from that, if you enable RDP on your computer you can use Microsoft's offical RDP app.
Chrome also just put out an official Android App for Chrome's remote desktop extension.

WiFi Mouse works perfect, auto connect and full screen keyboard are what i want.

Good app, it suitable for close control of the computer. Respond rapidly.

Thanks for sharing this awesome app, saving me a lot of money for a BT mouse.

[Q] How to disable mobile detection on web

How do you disable websites detecting that you are using a phone? I want every site I visit to think I am using a complete desktop.
I have tried dolphin with the desktop user agent however some sites still detect that I am on a mobile device(some sites I visit are unusable because of it) . I want to remove this restriction completely on my G3.
