Does anybody know of an app to control our phone's touches or swipes using our wear?
I was thinking of using it on cardboard apps where we can simulate clicks or touches on the wear's screen to send it to our phone.
Thanks!

Ok so this may be a silly question for all sorts of reasons but....
Does anyone know if there is a remote desktop app (Windows RDP), that allows you to use the optical trackpad on the Desire Z as a mouse?

From what I'm reading, you want to control your computer with your Vision; try RemoteDroid from the Market, I use it daily.

No this is not really what I'm looking for.
Remotedroid is to use the Vision as keyboard/mouse for a computer. Useful in a situation where you are sat in front of the computer screen.
I want a remote desktop client (using windows RDP/terminal services). As I am controlling a PC that I am not near to (30+ miles away).
Currently I am using 2X Client, which works fine but what I am looking for is a client that allows the optical trackpad of the Vision to be used as a mouse on the PC you are connecting to, rather than just tapping the touch screen.
Use Teamviewer. Its a lot faster, safer etc etc. Doesnt use RDP though.
The thing is that the optical trackpad on the Desire Z is a 4-way trackpad, meaning it goes up, down, left, right. Pretty much like using a D-pad as a mouse
From my experience i found myself using the screen as a way to move the mouse. The handling is quite weird. Your finger doesnt simulate the mouse, meaning the mouse wont be where your finger is. The mouse can be at the far left part of the screen but you can be moving it by using your right thumb on the screen on the right.
I might have confused you on how it works. Trying it out is the best way ;(
I'll give it a try, problem i'm finding is i can't tap accurately enough to hit the thing i want.
Then you will find Teamviewer, very finger friendly . I have thick fingers myself, i almost threw a Dell Duo on the wall the other day trying to double tap on My computer The only "drawback" is that you need Teamviewer installed on the computer as well. Once you have installed it you will get an ID (permanent) and a Password (temporary). As long as you dont restart the PC you will have the same password. You can set a static password to one of your liking.
sounds promising thanks.
In case anyone else sees this thread looking for the same thing.
Xtralogic's Remote Desktop Client provides trackpad support as a mouse, though it is only 4 directional due to the hardware (you cant move diagonally) it works quite well.
It is a paid app and fairly pricey at around £15, but i like it.

What USB keyboard and mouse did you use with Smart Dock and Note 2?
I use a logitech keyboard k400 and mouse m570, I can also just use the touchpad on my k400.

When you use the Logitech K400 keyboard with the touchpad without using the mouse, does your Galaxy Note 2 screen go blank (off) or stay on?
It stays on, but I use screen standby from the playstore to turn it off. I believe you have to be rooted though.

Cool. I was looking to keep screen on to use the touch screen from time to time. And use the touchpad on the keyboard as the mouse instead of a mouse.
Also when the Galaxy Note 2 screen is blank the Play Movies & TV Shows app shows blank screen when playing, but still hear audio. Mouse does cause Galaxy Note 2 screen go blank. Which is one of the reasons to get away from mouse.
Thank you for the information.
This reminds me of webtv. With some of the same issues. Everything is so big. The physical keyboard and touch keyboards don't work that well together. Especially with the spelling. The Android OS is designed for touch screen. The Smart Dock and monitors are not designed to bring touch screen experience witin the larger screen. Android OS is more closely similar to Windows 8 than Windows 8 is to previous MS Windows. Both Android OS and Windows 8 OS are designed for the touch screen and yet still can work with physical keyboard , mouse, and touchpad. But both are better if you have touch screen with the physical keyboard , mouse, touchpad, etc. That is what I am noticing. That even with good size monitor and keyboard with touchpad, this OS is still better functioning with touch screen. Which is why I still like having the Galaxy Note 2 touch screen available to use.
Describe your experience with the Smart Dock.
I have found an app that I think can be deconstructed and converted to making Spen detach disable all touch input.
This for me would be the cats meow for having either or function.
Right now it is proof of concept but here are the basic functions needed to make it work.
1) Enable show touches in Developer options.
2) Spen detection off when attached.
Now for the hooking and redirection of nul touches.
I am caught on what hook I should perform to serve simple and effective way to keep touches from being active during Spen detach.
I assume it is easier to hook the Spen detach to enable a forcing of a false touch state on nul touch sensing. I would redirect the touch location to the upper right corner. Thus any touches would not be read as movement unless some sort of gesture mechanism is used, and set to pick up upper right corner touch.
I think the Spen detach can be hooked, but as for redirecting touches, I haven't got a clue.
Any thoughts or help in such a odd idea???
Thanks in advance!!!
OK, I also found that instead of redirecting touch input, I can set Spen hover active and disable touches all together. This only works with Debug settings set.
Now to write the Java scripts to make Spen only when detached.
Thanks!
Is anyone else experiencing issues with their LG 3 screen being too sensitive? The biggest issue I have is when scrolling. It scrolls fine but as you come to the end of the swipe it selects whatever is on the screen. It's a real pain when scrolling thru any type of list (restraunts on google maps, articles in flipboard, or links on google, etc.). I don't see any way to adjust the sensitivity of the screen or length of hover time needed before attempting to open/select.
I might add that I have the new ZAGG invisibleSHIELD screen protector on the phone. And interestingly enough, I have not had the sensitivity issue that some have reported with the screen coming on when in my pocket even though I do have KnockCode on.
Has anyone found a way to adjust the touch screen behavior/sensitivity or found a workaround for this?
Yes, the accidental selecting of things when scrolling is a bit annoying. Maybe it will get tweaked in an update. For now I'm just changing my finger habits. Kinda like driving a different vehicle and the breaks are more squishy then my car.

Having the same issue. Do you have a screen protector on?
Yes. See OP. I've gotten used to it to some extent, however there are still some times that it's a hassle. I hope when they push out an update there is an option to adjust the sensitivity.

Since the last update I keep getting these toast notifications that constantly appear near the bottom of my phone screen telling me to connect my watch when it's out of range (which is often when I'm at home because I don't wear the watch at home). It covers the bottom portion of my keyboard when I'm typing and it's very annoying, as soon as it goes away it's usually right back again. Is there a way to disable these notifications? I've looked in Android Wear and in Moto Connect and can't find a setting for it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
