I was looking to get a app that I can control my laptop through the internet, anyone have any experience with these apps, ive only seen a few out there. I want to use dropbox with it too so i can just store, send, receive files from my laptop to my phone whenever.
Gmote works great... flakey on 64bit win7 but does the best of them all.

I think he's looking for a remote desktop like app, and not a remote. I myself would also like to know if anyone has any opinions on a good remote desktop app.
PhoneMyPC isn't cheap, but well worth the mullah. I mostly use it to control my mouse when streaming netflix, but features are robust.

You'll also need to download a client for your PC. Uses your gmail l/p to remote into your box.

Anyone know of one that works with Ubuntu?
I also use phoneMyPC. It's a wonderful app. Well worth the money. Especially with a hardware keyboard. If you have 2 monitors, you can have the app bring up the monitor you wish to view. You can bring up a cursor on your screen which can be used to drag and drop files too.
I could not live without this app.

I use this as an RDP client to get into terminal services at work. Works really well.
I've tried most of them out there and have settled on PhoneMyPC. I find the interface the cleanest, especially if you are accessing a computer with more than one monitor (I use on one with 3).
Logme in ignition I can do it all as if I were literally using another computer to do the remote session.

+1 on Android VNC, and Gmote to just remotely control the mouse and keyboard, there both perfect....but thanks guys for PhoneMyPC and PocketCloud, will def check em out too!
Can these remote apps somehow be configured (i don't see how they could be) to wake up a sleeping computer? I am a firefighter so I am gone for twenty four hours and remote access would be really useful...

+1 for LogMeIn Ignition. Use it all the time.
I've used phone my pc and wyse pocket cloud. They both have their pluses but I would say pocket cloud edges out phone my pc for better functionality. Although if you don't have ultimate or enterprise versions of windows you're pretty much stuck using phone my pc...
I connect all of my computers at home using my incredible and wireless tether for root. Will i be able to connect a wireless printer to my incredible and be able to have my other computers print to it?

I'm not sure how the phone routes exactly... I'm going to guess and say if you can hop on one computer and see another (ping, file share, etc) then it might work. But I can't tell you for sure.
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
I am wondering if there is an app to control our Android phone?
Like checking its status, missed calls, read SMS, battery status, etc.
From our Nexus 7....
Thanks

I'm not aware of one that does all of the above. I'm using DeskSMS with TabletSMS to read and reply to SMS. Very easy to set up and use.

Airdroid, but it requires your PC and phone be on the same network. Its browser based so might work from nexus 7

I'm using talkatone with google voice. Accomplishes a lot.
Still working on getting control of cell.
Well, it is obvious that there is no app like that.
Probably it's an idea for you developers to make it.
I don't really need to send SMS or make a call. I but just to see all the status, and check things.
AirDroid is nice if it works, I haven't tried it yet.

You can try our app, VMLite VNC Server, it allows you to view and fully control your phone from a pc, or from another device, using vnc viewer or a browser:

I've tried airDROID, neat little app.

I can confirm this works well, and with the Jump Desktop app you get full touch control.
I've attached a screenshot of my Nexus 7 connected to my HTC Sensation.
Is there a way to use VMLite or any app like that over Bluetooth? I'd like to be able to tell my phone to turn on tethering while it is still in my bag. I'd rather not get caught doing it during class, since it's like 10 detentions -.-
Ubuntu for Android.
i bought the app and it works great over wifi, but is there anyway to get it to work over bluetooth? i'd like to be able to control my nexus 7 from my galaxy nexus when on my commute.. for changing music tracks etc..

SwiftLegend and micks_address,
Since both of you ask about bluetooth, do you mean that you want the same remote view and control of the device as wifi connection? We will definitely look at this, and update the status here.

one option to try about bluetooth connection is to check whether your devices support bluetooth tethering, if so, you can set network connection between two devices similar to WIFI.

ok, i just tested it, there is no need to use bluetooth to access between android devices, w/o 3g, w/o WIFI. Basically what you need to do is to turn on a WIFI hotspot on one device, then start vmlite vnc server on this device, it will display an ip address.
On your another device, you need to change WIFI to connect to your other device's WIFI hotspot id, then you run a vnc viewer to connect. It works very well from our testing.
There is no 3rd party app needed, pretty much all android devices support wifi hotspot.
if you need more info, please post.

Have you seen this?:

I am also thinking of adding a Record button to our vmlite vnc server, so you can record all of the mouse/keyboard events, and when you are in a hurry, you can simply push one button to accomplish recorded tasks, such as turn on wifi hotspot, etc.
not sure if this would help you during commute.
For SMS set up Google voice on your Nexus and ur nexus 7. ( works like a charm I can receive text and answer them from my nexus 7.
As for contyol I would like to hear more on this as I never have my phone to far away and on my commute home I have all my music on my phone and taking my phone out while i have my 7 out is to much.

I can't remember the name of the app, but there is a program that allows 2 mobile devices (tablets and/or smartphones) to connect this way. The app for the host device is a paid app but each addon device utilizes a free controller app. In this instance, your HTC would use the paid host app to be used with a stereo, TV, computer, etc and your s3 (and any other phones/tablets) would use the free remote control app. I'll see if I can find it again

Myphonexplorer client on phone and then install companion software on your pc. Works great on WiFi too. Awesome app I have been using for years. You can text, call from your pc and sync all your data and make complete backup of your phone to pc. Working great on my note 4.
Have you tried downloading Airdroid from Amazons App Store? Thats how I got redbox on my Note and it works flawlessly even though the Play Store said it was incompatible.

The stupid thing about sidesyncis that if your pc is wired and not using wifi, sidesync won't work.
I assumed that the dock was wired and that works fine with sidesync.

I should have been more specific about what i was looking for. Airdroid connects, but i was looking for a more "remote desktop" type of thing, not just access to certain data on your phone. Airdroid has a built in way of doing this, but it says its not compatible with note 4. The standard Airdroid stuff is working.
