[Q] app/driver available to make our phone a pc gamepad? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an app/driver available to make our phone a pc gamepad?
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I couldn't find anything on it.
I want to play some windows games but using the keyboard gets in the way of the fun.
Oh... I should add that I have the app "app.pcon" but haven't been able to do anything with it, as either the devs website is down, or it is blocked in my country, and I cannot get the pc counterpart program.

[Q] best remote desktop app to use with a dedicated server

I have a desktop computer that i want to use as a dedicated remote desktop server for my phone. I want to set it at native 800x480 160dpi or something similar and be able to use it over my 3g connection anywhere. This pc will be used as a bittorrent machine and media server for both my phone and home network plus any other cool uses i can think of later. What i need to know is what is the best app to use so that i have a native touchscreen like interface from my phone.
Phone my pc might be the type of program you speak of if so, that's what I use. It is rather functional.
E3D'ed... Booyah!
does it allow you to use it like a touchscreen computer, as in being able to click on something by just tapping it? also how well does it fill the screen?

Phonemypc is a great app. I used it to root/rom my friends samsung charge who lives in maryland and I live in california. And yes it is like a touchscreen computer that you can zoom in on and holding an item on the screen performs a right click. I used to "obtain" it from the internet but since then it has been updated so much I bought it to support their efforts (it is expensive at 10 dollars though)

Vnc server and a vnc app.
There are a couple paid apps for this on getjar for free. I don't recall what they are off hand, but it may be worthwhile to look!

I use logmein. It is free to use on your server, but the client (Logmein Ignition) app cost money for your phone. I like it because it keeps your stuff secure (no direct expoure to the outside world, since no port forwarding is required), plus I already had it installed on my other PCs.

[Q] Xplay as BT Gamepad for PC?

Doesn't look like this has been addressed previously, so here goes:
Is there a way to use my Xperia Play as a gamepad for my PC, preferably over BT? I know there are lots of apps that let you use an android for input on a PC, usually for media players or laggy text entry, and there's that one app specifically designed to let you use a phone as a gamepad for a tab, but is there any solution that will let me use the Xplay as an honest to goodness, responsive gamepad for my PC? Touchpads aren't necessary, but would be nice if available.
There's a free app in the market called app.pcon (pc controller) or something but mite be over WiFi instead of Bluetooth. Apart from that you could use either kainy or splashtop which even though will stream the video from pc to play you could use just as an input for pc. Not sure about any Bluetooth ways have a look at droid-mote think that's Bluetooth but to another droid, very much doubt he made a pc app for it
Hope this may help

question for playstation 3 users

Since the ics update awhile back, my phone won't connect to my ps3 via USB anymore.
Is there another way to connect my phone to my playstation 3? Kies is useless. I can't transfer music
to my ps3. I am unrooted & will not root due to the many "help I've bricked my phone threads".
Any help would be appreciated. PS - I sure miss my rooted evo still.lol
I can verify that you can connect as a YouTube remote. I haven't tried much beyond that.
You can connect it.. You just need to connect it like you do to a pc.. I know ive installed themes from it by creating directory themes folder in root of internal storage.. Mine shows fine.. Either that or just get a mhl adapter or use a media server app like twonky over your network.. And yes, youtube playback does work with android now.. Then again ive been rooted since tue og epic.. Sucks that your scared to root your phone lol all you need to do is follow simple instructions and you wont need to worry.. Since ics source there have been way less bricks hen before the emmc bug was squashed

[Q] android and your PC

so i have been addicted to a few games on the android phones. nothing wrong with that you know. but i was thinking it be cool if you could play any of your games that are on your phone...on your pc. does anyone know how to do that. I have tried using bluestacks but that only plays a selct amount of stuff...i want to play them all...LOL. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you want to set up a VPN with your PC and phone.
Try Google for Team viewer & win2vnc
Win2vnc goes on your home PC as the "server".
Teamviewer goes on your phone from the Google play store as an app and connects to win2vnc.
You will be able to use your computer from your phone where ever your at.

Can I control my Note 4 from Windows 7?

Basically, I'm looking to control my Galaxy Note 4 from my PC with a keyboard and mouse. Can this be done somehow over my WiFi? I read about an app called mobizen, but I have no clue how it works. Anyone familiar with this? What I want to do, is basically:
Drag files in and out of my phone to/from PC
Use my PC's keyboard and mouse to do things like texting or typing in messages into my phone with other apps
Try Samsung SideSync.

You might also try Mobizen. I use that with my Note 2.

By any chance, when attempting to install Mobizen on your PC, did you get a "File Copy Error!!" when first launching Mobizen (which runs an auto update that causes this message)?
That said, Mobizen isn't currently an option since it doesn't even run on my PC. Apparently, I'm not the only one to have this problem with it.
Any other suggestions on remote connection to phone?
I use Team Viewer to control all of my Android devices. Unlike the PC to PC connection, however, the phone must "accept" the remote control request each time.
I second Team Viewer, it's free and fast and easy.
I mostly use it the other way around to control my PC but it works great either way!

Team Viewer from what I understand, won't cut the mustard. For a phone, it only goes from phone to PC, thus putting your PC on your phone, correct? You can't "Call" your phone via Teamspeak. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, that would be nice if it did do that.
You would need TeamViewer's Quick Support app plus the Samsung module. Both can be found in the Play Store.
I would second SideSync. It works really well and has a keyboard and mouse only option.
