Hi There,
Has anyone had any luck setting up quick remote to work with a Windows Media Center setup.
I have tried to set up as a universal remote but for some reason it doesn't quite work. For example when you press volume up it only works for one step. Same with other commands.
Cheers

Hi all
I have been looking around and don't think one exists, But thought i might ask anyway. Does any one know of a program i can put on my phone the will allow me to use the keyboard of my phone as a virtual keyboard for my PC and the touch screen as a mouse. through a wireless connection kind of like those remote control applications work. Sure would be a cool app to have. Would never have to get off the couch again.
cheers
Here are about 7 options to solve your problem!!!!!
1. here is a freeware app that works the opposite way (use your keyboard and mouse from your computer to control your PPC)

2. Search XDA-Devs for "bluetooth hid" and you will find a program that allows you to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard with your win-mo phone
3. this program allows you to control certain applications from your PPC:

I have used this one, and it is the best and it does exactly what you want and more, plus it is free!!!!!!!!!!1 The only problem I have found is that it is pretty unreliable and loses connection and has to be re-paired with bluetooth a lot.
4. This one does exactly waht you are looking for, except it costs 12$:

5. logmein.com offers a free way to control your smartphone from your comp or vice-versa
6. If you have Vista, microsoft now has a SideShow client for windows mobile over bluetooth, so you can use your "gadgets" on your computer from your PPC.
7. If you want to spend a little money, you could always get the Logitech Dinovo Mini, I have it and it works great at controlling my PC, my PS3, and My pocket pc via bluetooth.
Amazon link:

Or if you want something similar to the dinovo mini, you could go with this generic one:

If all else fails, you could always just use Remote Desktop from your PPC

RealVNC ?
How about the simple way of using VNC from RealVNC ? I use it from time to time, when I need to check something on my pc from the lunchroom @ work. I just use the VNC and use my work pc thru the wifi network.
It works great + it's free + it's 1 file open (no need for install so u can just keep it in your SD and make a link to programs if you want to.)

Does anyone know if this is possible.
I currently use the remote desktop feature of my ppc to control my desktop pc, but is it possible to do it the other way around? I am aware of that you can use activesync remote display. But this requires the phone to be docked.
The reason I asked is that I left my phone at home today and while I was at work I thought it would be really useful to remote in and check my missed calls and sms.

Ok i have tinkered with it, but have not been able to get the Windows Remote To connect to my home pc, im at a loss and any help?
What i would like to do is be able to use my Excal via bluetooth or via wireless to connect to my pc and basically use it as a remote keyboard/mouse to run stuff..
I would prefer something free, or if you do know a program that has a trial and works as a trial that would be much appreciated.
Basically if anyone is smart enough to write a program, i want to use via bluetooth, the center button as a left click and the arrows around to move the mouse as a basic operation. Maybe add in a key to access the windows key, so i can activate windows media player and navigate it.
I am on windows 7x64 if that matters.

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.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has managed to get the Alexa Voice remote (from the firestick 4K) to work in Windows for Kodi.
I successfully managed to pair the remote with Windows and under device manager it shows as a Blutooth LE Device called AR but doesn't show any keyboard services. It shows in devices and printers as a remote control.
I also have an OSMC remote and a Flirc 2 but couldnt get either to pivk up any key presses. I did notice when i inserted the OSMC remote IR USB dongle and restarted PC the Remote turned into a Keyboard and Mouse pic but still no services.
Has anyone found a successful way to get it to work or is it a lost cause?
Cheers
