Hi all,
I have a weird requirement.
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 4.
1. I installed gotomypc app and gotomypc software on my laptop and I can browse my laptop when I'm outside.
Similarly, is there any app, which I can install on my Verizon Galaxy Note 4 and remote control my another Verizon Galaxy S5 Phone in my home?
The point is I want to just do everything, like I do when I connect via gotomypc software to my laptop.
I don't mind paying monthly fee for this app, if there is a subscription fees. Just like for gotomypc, I pay $9.95/ Month.
Thank You for Your suggestions.
I don't quite understand you. Are you wanting to control a smartphone from another smartphone, or are you wanting to control your PC from a smartphone?
I haven't used GoToMyPC in maybe 8 years or so. I eventually discovered TeamViewer. Basically, you can set up an account, install TeamViewer on any PC you want, sign into that account with each computer you want to control. Then from a smartphone (presumably Galaxy Note 4 but any supporting Smartphone will do), download the TeamViewer app where you can sign into your account and have access to any PC on that account. I don't think there's a way within TeamViewer to control another Smartphone, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why they do not have that sort of functionality, yet.
I don't think there's a way for TeamViewer to "Wake" a computer (In otherwords, no Wake-on-LAN support). There's another app I use called Wol Wake on Lan Wan for that. You just got to know how to configure your router and your PC's firewall, manually to support that, but nowadays if you just Google most things, there's more than likely an existing support thread.
I second teamviewer .. But never tried to use it one phone to another. I just use Bluetooth file transfer for file transfers when im out about otherwise i connect things and transfer stuff.

First of all thank you guys for such a great apps environment you created for our lazy WM platform.
Second of all I hope I am posting my request in the right place. Could someone start developing an application similar in functions with AirVideo for iphone. Its a basic app with a server(PC) - client(device) side that allows you to play on the phone any video stored on the PC (and any other storage media connected to the PC) without having to actually transfer the video on the device itself.
For more info please check : http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
It would be amazing if someone could achieve this. I would gladlly pay for such an app as I oftenly like to review my video courses I have stored on my PC from the convenience of my phone.
PS: I gave up the iphone platform 6 months ago and I am so much happier with my HD2.

Try orb. i use it on my HD2 and it works great. There's no need for a client app either! Just a browser (built in IE will do).
10x for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this software.
Does it provide access to my content through my wireless router (under a local connection - PC and phone using the same WIFI) or do I have to stream everything through my broadband and their online servers?
All you need for airvideo is that the phone and the pc are connected to the same WIFI. All the streaming is done using the local connection which is good for privacy and there is also the option to convert a video file on the fly.
This sort of functionality I would like on the windows mobile platform if a developer would like to give it a go.

Orb basically turns your PC into a media server. You just use whatever means you want to connect to your PC. I have a use one of those services that gives your PC a name, and I just connect to it via that, so I can do it via my internet connection if I want to, or connect via wifi and use the local IP address (192.168.x.x) to connect that way, but I don't tend to do that much, as I'm obviously in range of my PC if I'm in range of the router
Orb gives you access to specified folders on your PC, and all the media within them. It does images, video and music, so it really is a great addition to any device.
I want to control my samsung galaxy nexus via my pc but I dont need display I just need to use the keyboard and mouse.
Let me tell you why....
I currently have a spare monitor and I have connected my Samsung galaxy Nexus to it via an MHL adaptor but I would like to use my pc mouse and keyboard to do stuff on it and then just change back to pc when I want.
Anyone know any tools to do this?
Thanks
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is the best option.
Try free AirDroid which lets you use many features of your phone including texting and managing apps via your browser on a PC as long as you're on the same network.

I had been using Droid VNC Server in the past, however it doesn't seem to support ICS. knoxbrder seems to be very close to having a working version for the Galaxy Nexus, you can take a look at this thread for some details.
Once this is running, you can run vncviewer on a Linux system, or download RealVNC for Windows and access your phone when it's on your WiFi network.

LMAO Are you going to hook your microwave up to a monitor as well? How about your toilet? Maybe you can get to the point where everything you own from phone, to coffee maker, to wrist watch has its own monitor. Clearly you need to get out more brah
I've found the remotely controllable phone-to-TV connection very useful. My old TV didn't have Pandora support so I used to hook up my X to it so I could listen via my sound system speakers. I now have a Google TV with a Pandora client, but with a dumb monitor you can also throw in Netflix and Amazon video to turn it into a smart TV. Or just turn the phone into a mini-desktop, it's already just a pocket computer.
i have been pretty disapointed with android options in this department.
i had veency running like a charm on my iphone, but nothing for android. and most of the vnc/rdp programes in market are not what they claim to be.
Okay, so this is my situation. I just moved houses as I'm starting university and I am not going to have Broadband for at least a month because of house line problems. I thought I was going to be just fine because I have an All-You-Can-Eat data plan that allows me to tether and download as much as I want, no restrictions. That was until I dropped my Nexus face-down on the street and the screen is now completely smashed. So basically I am stranded in a new town with no friends, no internet and no phone. Luckily, I have the phone insured against accidental damage, so my provider will fix it free of charge, but it will take one week before I can even send it, and another ten days after that before I can even begin to expect it back. I bought a USB Mobile internet dongle and that's what I'm using to write this, but it is desperately slow and it loses connection often... And Pandaria goes out in three days so I'm at my wit's end right now. I'm on the verge of buying a relatively affordable BlackBerry just so I can use my SIM in it and tether, but would rather not.
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted, and is running Jelly Bean. I can tell the phone does turn on because I can receive calls (and answer them using the headphones' button).
My question is if it is possible to set up tethering via a PC Desktop Software. I draw the comparison to RIM's BlackBerry Desktop Software which allows enabling of mobile internet modem capabilities by only connecting the BlackBerry via USB and clicking a button. Absolutely no need of touching the phone. Because the way I see it, it *should* be theoretically possible to edit the phone's settings values SOMEHOW by having access to it from a PC via a data cable, just as in Windows one can edit a registry key instead of enabling an option in Control Panel. Granted, it is a more complicated, archaic method, but the alternative exists.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
That's a harsh situation you are in. I don't think there is a way to tether like that. Although I'm not very sure. I don't tether much.
I have recently upgraded from a Galaxy S to the S III. I like the phone, however I am about ready to pay the re-stocking fee, and find another. My issue is that I can not sync any documents with my PC, using the USB Cable. With Kies, it will sync everything else (all the "play" things - photos and MP3's), but I use it for work and I need to be able to sync .pdf files and documents. I have use "Documents-to-go" since I switched to android OS, and ActiveSync for my old window phones, but it doesn't work on this Galaxy S III. Can anyone suggest a "work-around", or application that handles this function? Thanks for your help.
Drop box and Quick office. You can access your online documents straight from quickoffice and its cheaper than paying the restocking fee.

Is there another program besides "Drop Box"? Drop Box is a web based, storage program. I need a simple, connect by USB cable and sync application! Due to our corporate policy, they have the web locked down tight. It seems completely ridiculous that this would be such an issue with the SGH-I747....

Not exactly what you may want but try VNC viewer, you would need VNC installed on laptop. Not tested on G3 as I don't have mine yet
Or RDP to PC with the Microsoft app for android
