[Q] Best app for remote control desktop?

I was looking to get a app that I can control my laptop through the internet, anyone have any experience with these apps, ive only seen a few out there. I want to use dropbox with it too so i can just store, send, receive files from my laptop to my phone whenever.

Gmote works great... flakey on 64bit win7 but does the best of them all.

I think he's looking for a remote desktop like app, and not a remote. I myself would also like to know if anyone has any opinions on a good remote desktop app.

PhoneMyPC isn't cheap, but well worth the mullah. I mostly use it to control my mouse when streaming netflix, but features are robust.

You'll also need to download a client for your PC. Uses your gmail l/p to remote into your box.

Anyone know of one that works with Ubuntu?

I also use phoneMyPC. It's a wonderful app. Well worth the money. Especially with a hardware keyboard. If you have 2 monitors, you can have the app bring up the monitor you wish to view. You can bring up a cursor on your screen which can be used to drag and drop files too.
I could not live without this app.

I use this as an RDP client to get into terminal services at work. Works really well.

I've tried most of them out there and have settled on PhoneMyPC. I find the interface the cleanest, especially if you are accessing a computer with more than one monitor (I use on one with 3).

Logme in ignition I can do it all as if I were literally using another computer to do the remote session.

+1 on Android VNC, and Gmote to just remotely control the mouse and keyboard, there both perfect....but thanks guys for PhoneMyPC and PocketCloud, will def check em out too!

Can these remote apps somehow be configured (i don't see how they could be) to wake up a sleeping computer? I am a firefighter so I am gone for twenty four hours and remote access would be really useful...

+1 for LogMeIn Ignition. Use it all the time.

I've used phone my pc and wyse pocket cloud. They both have their pluses but I would say pocket cloud edges out phone my pc for better functionality. Although if you don't have ultimate or enterprise versions of windows you're pretty much stuck using phone my pc...

The application does not work for me in the MBP

Not sure why. I'm running it on OS X Lion and it works fine when I plug in my GNex.
Edit: You gotta make sure you open it at least once on your own. It will prompt you with the "This is an application from the Internet. Sure you want to open?" Dialogue. Click yes, and after that, it should open any time you plug the phone in.

Make sure on your phone that USB debugging is not checked when you want to use file transfer.

I have a GNexus and use an iMac as my primary computer at home and have been using the paid app iSyncr WiFi to sync music playlists from iTunes to my phone without any issues.
I've used iSyncr and its WiFi add-on component for quite some time now with multiple Android phones and have been very happy with it.
One thing to note right now is that the regular iSync app (which does its syncing via USB cable) is not compatible with ICS, so you'll have to settle for doing your syncing via WiFi. I've actually been in contact with the app dev and he's working on making iSyncr compatible but that version of the app is not yet available.

The dev for iSyncr updated the app in the market today and now both iSyncr and its WiFi add-on component are supposed to work with ICS.

I can't remember the name of the app, but there is a program that allows 2 mobile devices (tablets and/or smartphones) to connect this way. The app for the host device is a paid app but each addon device utilizes a free controller app. In this instance, your HTC would use the paid host app to be used with a stereo, TV, computer, etc and your s3 (and any other phones/tablets) would use the free remote control app. I'll see if I can find it again

Miracast on PC

I am looking around but could not find the right answer. I want to miracast or streaming screen cast on a pc and projector for delivering lecture preferably wireless.
I tried [email protected], screencast etc, they need usb connection and ADB. But ADB couldn't detect my note 510 device while it is working for other Android device.
Kindly suggest me any sw that can allow miracast on Windows 7 pc. Or any other good option.
Thanking everyone for your help in anticipation.

Edit: I can connect my device through ADB, so the [email protected] successfully. So, with USB cable screen cast on PC is working. For wireless over WiFi I am still trying.. and looking for help.

Yep, that's it. Once plugged in pull down your notifications and tap the usb and change your settings.

Ok. Done. Tv still doesn't recognize, but does recognize usb stick, btw, I bought a sd reader/writer usb adapter it doesn't recognize. Im trying to watch movies I have downloaded to my phone, on my tv. TV is brand new.

Have you tried using wifi-direct?That may be your only option short of screen mirroring via wifi or dongle.

How do I wifi direct? My tv is a smart tv. Run the wifi on my tv and let phone recognize it?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I dont think its as easy as plugging a usb stick in the tv. My tv reads the usb stick easily. It wont do the same for my phone. Always a complication when u think or should be easy
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

You might look at AllCast.

The issue is probably the drivers then. The TV likely has a basic USB driver in it so the USB stick will work, but probably won't allow the phones drivers to install on the TV. So like what was mentioned, if you can't wifi direct or screen mirror (must have Samsung TV for that to be on the TV) you will likely need a Samsung Allcast/Allshare hub. Which in my mind isn't worth it when you can just move them over to a USB stick and watch them from there.

Theres not a rom or driver or sumthn to fix it?

Where did you get your movies from that you can't access on your smart tv? You should be able to stream them from wherever/whatever app you got them from...unless you got them illegally
But nevertheless, AllCast mentioned above is an option, but I think the better option is to get a TV video adapter for your phone? Why not get an HDMI/MHL cable? Duh! They're cheap, like 10 bucks off ebay. Make sure you have the 10/11-pin adapter, not the 5-pin, in regards of the Note 3.
If screen mirroring isn't your savvy and you want the full HD experience of accessing your videos directly thru usb, there is a way to mount your phone as a usb mass storage rather than MTP, but Samsung (and others) don't allow that capability in their OS's (probably to try to get you to use their stupid Kies software). To work around this you'll need root and a terminal emulator. In terminal enter su and type "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage". THIS MIGHT REALLY MESS UP YOUR USB & ADB CONFIGURATION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Really it's not a big deal tho, to revert back use "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb" and reboot like 3 times until it finally fixes itself.
Hope this helps!

What's the best format of a video to be played on a TV? I haven't tried this yet. My videos are currently on MP4 format. Thanks!

The videos are playable on anything. So what next? I did the terminal emulator....verbatim. .. nothing happened. My phone didnt slap me in the face or gouge my eyes. However, I didnt plug it into the tv yet. Yes I have allshare.

Thats a big ol negatory big rap. Terminal thingy is a no go. Thanx tho. And duh! I could just push the stuff to my usb and play it. But! I paid for top of the line (note3). It should wipe my a$$. And I have no doubt it will.....one day
