Looking for app to remote control powerpoint

Hi all,
I am looking for a simple app to control my powerpoint presentation on my laptop remotely. I just need a forward and back button to navigate the slides.
So far tried
1. ppt remote - Doesn't work at all. Whenever I tried to connect, the server crashed
2. Gmote - Cannot get it to work. Cannot find local IP
3. PRemoteDroid - This works but there is no button to go back for the slide. Only the right click to bring up context menu and navigate the mouse to click on prev slide. This is too slow
Is there any app that will fit my requirement? Many thanks.

I use PPT remote all the time. Windows 7, Office 2007, and Bluetooth.

Have you tried http://www.gpad.mobi/ ?

Gmote works great. Did you install the PC app on your laptop before attempting to connect? Were you on the same network as your PC?

How do I make my PC and phone to be on the same network? My phone cannot connect to my office network due to firewall issues.

Well that's the problem. Gmote needs to be able to see the computer. Other apps are going to need to see the computer somehow as well.

[Q] Kies Like App For Droid.....

I found it once and I can't remember it, or find it via search, but it was an app (I think it starts with an S) and it allows Droid to PC connection via a Wifi Network....can someone end my pain? lol I've been hitting up the boards and Google and didn't want to make a thread but after 3 days of surfing, I'm tossing in the towel.

Are you just looking to transfer files or more?
I look in a few kies related threads and found these two apps that started with S. SugarSync and Samba. Either of these it? I think these are mainly for filesharing with your pc tho.

If this is all you're looking to do, I use Filexpert. Then just turn on the FTP sharing and use Filezilla (or any other FTP client) to transfer things back and forth.

HA! Samba, that's the one thanks so much!!!!! You have no idea how much of a relief this is to finally find the apps name

Haha! Your welcome dude! Glad I could help!

SwiFTP works the same.

Thanks for the SwiFTP mention, for some reason I can't get Samba to connect to my network....well it connects but I can't access it through my PC. So I downloaded SwiFTP and it's working great!

Please help.. Need a good reliable USB/WiFi file/folder sync solution.

So I just recently divorced myself from my iPod and iTunes. My S3 is now my primary music player both at home and in the car. I keep my music in a folder on my laptop, and am looking for a program/app that will allow me to sync my S3 with said folder via USB and WiFi. I must have the option of syncing over USB since I will not always have access to WiFi. I tried Kies and could never get it to connect to my phone (which is rooted and may be the cause of my problem). Plus I keep hearing that Kies is a steaming turd. Cheetah Sync seems like it might do the trick but is WiFi only. I should also note that I want the ability to two-way sync so if I delete a file from the phone it will remove it from the folder on the laptop and vice/versa..
Thanks in advance..

Try giving this a shot:

Thanks, but I'm not using iTunes.. Just trying to sync my phone with a folder on my laptop..

Do you have a windows vista or 7 laptop? If so, you can connect your phone via usb and select MTP as your device. You'll be able to treat your phone as an external storage by simply dragging and dropping files.

[Q] Best Apps for transferring files over WiFi?

Hi everyone,
An iOS App called "DeskConnect" caught my attention because it is pretty neat at what it does. It allows you to send files from your PC/Mac to your, in this case, iDevice (or vice versa) over WiFi in a breeze. You just have to download the App on the computer and iDevice register with the same account on both devices.
My question is, is their an application similar to DeskConnect for Android? I'd like to download an App on my Mac and HTC One and be able to send stuff from my computer by just dragging what I want to send into the application and then receiving the document in the application on my phone.
I know I can probably connect my phone via USB and then transfer files like but I want to know if there is an easy way to do this over WiFi.

AirDroid is pretty cool for doing that.
For me sometimes a bit buggy though. (especially when transferring mp3)
Still in my opinion the best choice!
Everything runs over your browser.
Ps: the registration is only needed if you want to transfer files through the Internet rather than using your network.

PushBullet is what I use. But the limit for uploading a file is 25MB. I know some apps are bigger than that but it's worked well for me so far, light on the PC and phone, just runs on the browser as well.

PushBullet!:good: It's simple. Download the app to your phone and the Chrome extension, log in to both and voila "push" files with one click!

I've been using WiFi File Transfer Pro for a good while now, it's very good..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en

I would say Air Droid is best because you can also control your camera and have notifications displayed on the PC

Android has a lot better solution than that. You can install "Software data Cable" . Chose Sync and it create an FTP server. You just need to have a FTP client on your PC/Mac/Linux.
What's more, when the phone is not in wifi network, it can create an wireless Hotspot.

i use this:

working with wlan/3g

ES File Explorer which is very easy to setup, especially using this guide

Solid Explorer has a nifty FTP share feature... I used it because for what ever reason I couldn't mount my One via USB. Airdroid works well too.

Whoa! Didn't expect to get a lot of replies, thanks you guys!

Been using Wifi File Explorer Pro for about 5 years now without a single problem. I can highly recommend it
Swiftkeyed from my Renovated HTC One

Why install extra app
ES Explorer do all jobs
Activate WiFi Hotspot or connect phone to PC WiFi
open ES explorer >> tools >> remote manager >> click on Turn on Note ftp address >> Windows explorer >> address bar >> fill Ftp address from phone to bar & now you can access all files
Phone to phone file transfer same way & 1 more short way
SuperBeam is Also for both PC & Phone

Zapya has a perfect interface and possibilty to connect to iphone and PC by wifi direct. Approximately 3MB per second

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.
