So I searched but couldnt find the answer. I am looking for the app that lets you control your phone from the computer. Its not screencast or remote desktop. It was an app that would give you an IP address to go to from your computer and up would pop the home screen of your phone. I charge my phone in another room and run wifi tether and would love to see whos texting me and be able to reply among other things without having to get up every two minutes. I had it before and flashed a rom and thought that titanium backup had run but it didnt so I lost it. Thanks for any help.
Well I would recommend Remote Desktop (I know you mentioned it), it is an awesome app that I use all the time, it lets you send sms messages. I think the one you are thinking of is called PicMe. It's ok, pretty sluggish IMO. I really think Remote Desktop is the best app for this type of thing.

I like remote desktop but you cant tell when you get a new text or whos it from.
edit.I do remember the one I had being a little sluggish so that might be it, haha.
Good thread. There's an app called Browsix that has a built-in sms client. Check it out.
Try webkey

webkey looks awesome just worried about the lag
webkey is exactly what you're looking for. When i used it I didnt see any lag. Kind of wish they had an option to alert you on ur computer screen when you got a text but maybe I just didnt select the right settings

Just tried webkey and HOLY ****... how secure is this program? I have my doubts...
Picme, it's kinda slow though but does work. Paid version is secured.

What makes it unsecured? What can happen using it unsecured?

Its as secure as your password. Set your custom login and password and you should be fine.
ehh i like browsix for texts. But webkey is better besides that.
Try This...
I believe the app you may be looking for is called "droid VNC Server"....
I have it and have tested it to work with the Evo.

title says it all, any freeware packages out there?

Edit:
can a mod please move this thread?
You want to control the phone, from your PC? Hmm.. I don't even know if it's possible. Kind of a reverse remote desktop but a remote phone instead. Huh. I think the limiting issue will be that you would need an app that always runs on the phone. I know you can lock it, track it, wipe it, etc with WaveSecure, but actually control it? Beyond accessing files and folders, I don't know that you could remotely control the phone.
This should probably go in the apps and themes forum rather than Q&A, if there's an app out there they might know of it.
It is not free but Phone my PC worked great on the Hero, have not checked with the Evo as we have no trackball.

Yeah, I love PhoneMyPC, I use it all the time. $10 very well spent. But that controls your PC with your phone, he wants to control his Phone with his PC! So were backwards here.
Hey recently ive decided that I want to replace my stereo in my car with a mac mini and an external tough screen. I first thought I would try to use the HDMI feature of the Evo to view my phone on the screen, but I would want it to be interactive on the screen. So then I decided I should find a program that will allow me to use my Evo through a usb cord so the Evo displays on in a window on my mac or windows pc and i can interact with it from there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? Or does anyone wanna take on this project?
There is a thread on this topic in Q&A. I saw it maybe 2 days ago. Has a few suggested apps to control your evo via pc or vice versa.

Here's the thread he was talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971209
Anyway...
I used this: Droid VNC Server (FREE, requires root)
And this: VNC® Viewer Free Edition 4.1 for Windows (also free)
It's pretty choppy, but it works.
If you don't have Windows, pretty much any VNC viewer will work, there's lots of them out there (Google it).
Appreciate it. And yea. The last two days I've been doing research and trying out different ones, and everything had been laggy or choppy. I made this hoping to find a hidden gem that worked perfectly or someone that knew how to get it working flawlessly

Try mymobiler, it works perfectly for me. Just go google "mymobiler", it is the first result comes up.
Google android screencast, as long as your phone can be detected by adb it works great!

Yeah I was stoked about it at first, but this app royally blows. It's seriously NO different than opening your browser on the phone and going to docs.google.com. You still can't edit formulas in spreadsheets (a must since I do my budget on there), and the editing interface is just as bad as the web page, in that you click on a line, have to edit only 1 line at a time and have to save it after editing. Why not just let us edit the cells individually? Thanks for finally getting around to mediocrity Google.

I have to admit that I haven't really explored the app very well. But at least it is a start. Maybe make a comment on the app page and email them as to how they can make it better?

My problem with it is that it's literally no different than just opening Google Docs in your browser. I'm just not sure why it was even made if they were going to do it like this, that's all.
how do you even delete documents you dont want on here???

The app is supposed to be able to perform OCR on text photographed with the phone. Anyone get this to work very well? Every time I've tried it (on different forms of source text) it just one line of the text, or a few scattered letters. Seems like it could be a handy function, if it worked.

Ah yes, that is a VERY useful thing! Glad to see that there are indeed more features. I just tried it and it's actually very good; I just scanned a page from a book, and although it has a few odd formatting problems, the text was almost perfect. Nice job Google.
1. When in the browser and you turn your phone sideways at the sametime as you open the keyboard everything disappears and its only the webpage no browser bar. nothing. I have a screenshot iI attached with this.
2. When I import my contacts in the secret menu an XML error shows up every time. Theres another screenshot below of this.
3. I have a question. Has anyone ever tried breaking into the phone with a penetrator virus while the phone is synching or connected to the computer and/or program?
4. There is an iPhone web app that works on the KIN. It will give you the ip address of your phone and tons of other things. its a DNS Tool. I will give you the link once I find it. I have a screenshot of this attached.
5. I discovered another browser shortcut: tel:###-###-####

I've never heard of anything like that. Maybe Microsoft put some wierd implementation of XML (like they do with everything) that has some different syntax involving the file transfer or something (honestly i don't know what i'm talking about here cuz i can't really explain what i mean). They just do things like that so i'll see if i can find anything out about these errors.

That may work for getting through some security measures on the phone but isn't that dangerous? I'm not going to try that because I actually use the phone. Maybe John will try it.

These are some good finds. They could be useful for my silverlight ui idea if i find a use for the ip address (like maybe if i found some way to send the silverlight stuff to the phone by targeting the ip address).
Overall, good findings!
Thanks. Im not going to try going in using a virus becuase I use mine. So yeah.

There are apps like "mirror" and "weak control" but the main issue is that screen recording may not work on your galaxy s2 depending on what rom/version of android you are using. You can then use a google chrome plugin to view the stream from the computer.
But i do know that using mirror op sender on your phone and mirror op receiver on your pc seem to work regardless of whether the others work. I suggest that you set the codec to .h264 and set the quality to medium otherwise you will get an appalling frame rate.

can you tell me where can i find these google plugin?? you have some guides in youtube?
VNC Server
Search "droid VNC Server" on play store. I can't post any links yet.
Needs root access though
