title says it all, any freeware packages out there?
i found http://www.soti.net but its a bit too much for my needs.
thank in advance
Edit:
can a mod please move this thread?
You want to control the phone, from your PC? Hmm.. I don't even know if it's possible. Kind of a reverse remote desktop but a remote phone instead. Huh. I think the limiting issue will be that you would need an app that always runs on the phone. I know you can lock it, track it, wipe it, etc with WaveSecure, but actually control it? Beyond accessing files and folders, I don't know that you could remotely control the phone.
This should probably go in the apps and themes forum rather than Q&A, if there's an app out there they might know of it.
It is not free but Phone my PC worked great on the Hero, have not checked with the Evo as we have no trackball.

Yeah, I love PhoneMyPC, I use it all the time. $10 very well spent. But that controls your PC with your phone, he wants to control his Phone with his PC! So were backwards here.
So I searched but couldnt find the answer. I am looking for the app that lets you control your phone from the computer. Its not screencast or remote desktop. It was an app that would give you an IP address to go to from your computer and up would pop the home screen of your phone. I charge my phone in another room and run wifi tether and would love to see whos texting me and be able to reply among other things without having to get up every two minutes. I had it before and flashed a rom and thought that titanium backup had run but it didnt so I lost it. Thanks for any help.
Well I would recommend Remote Desktop (I know you mentioned it), it is an awesome app that I use all the time, it lets you send sms messages. I think the one you are thinking of is called PicMe. It's ok, pretty sluggish IMO. I really think Remote Desktop is the best app for this type of thing.

I like remote desktop but you cant tell when you get a new text or whos it from.
edit.I do remember the one I had being a little sluggish so that might be it, haha.
Good thread. There's an app called Browsix that has a built-in sms client. Check it out.
Try webkey

webkey looks awesome just worried about the lag
webkey is exactly what you're looking for. When i used it I didnt see any lag. Kind of wish they had an option to alert you on ur computer screen when you got a text but maybe I just didnt select the right settings

Just tried webkey and HOLY ****... how secure is this program? I have my doubts...
Picme, it's kinda slow though but does work. Paid version is secured.

Its as secure as your password. Set your custom login and password and you should be fine.
ehh i like browsix for texts. But webkey is better besides that.
Try This...
I believe the app you may be looking for is called "droid VNC Server"....
I have it and have tested it to work with the Evo.
My wife recently asked me about "log me in" for her phone but the app is a bit expensive. Is there one that works just as well and is free or at least cheaper?
TeamViewer is excellent.

I'm not seeing Team Viewer in the market.
Could have sworn it was in the market.
Go here instead. This is the developer's website.

Yes TeamViewer is probably one of the best alternatives out there to LMI.
If you have Windows 7/Vista/XP Pro or 7/Vista Ultimate, you have Remote Desktop as an option. If so, Remote RDP Lite has worked very well for me. You can only store one connection profile at a time, but otherwise it seems to be fully functional. There's also a Remote VNC Pro w/Ad if you want to go the VNC route.
please, don't give me a ****storm for just making a suggestion.

I get free apps from a source I won't list here but if I enjoy it, I buy it. Titanium Backup, Slingplayer Mobile, etc etc. As for remote desktop viewing I'll try both and let you know? lol
hah applanet is the best. a bunch of free apps. applanet.net. i rarely use it though. only on apps that i think are overpriced for the wrong reasons (enter logmein)

most apps have a free version so you can try it out. and if you uninstall a paid app within the refund window, you get your money back automatically.
I assume you know these things, and are just making excuses for stealing.
just use team viewer i use it everyday and works great!

I have been reading some of the reviews on amazon about some of these mini keyboards, and I'm still adjusting to the onscreen keyboard as I came from the D2 then the TP2 before that, so I would like to know what ones are compatible with android? Does anyone have one? Most people in the reviews say that they can't get them to work with android, so I don't want to waste 20-30-40 bucks just to find out its not compatible with our devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Curious about this too, if don't remember seeing anything about bluetooth keyboards working without some hacking.

I guess you and I must be the only ones who care about this.
No...I very much care about this, too. I just tried to pair my Thunderbolt with my Apple wireless keyboard and it did pair. Now, however, it says "paired and not connected" but when I click on the keyboard name it does not do anything. When I press and hold the keyboard name, my only option is to unpair. Not sure how to proceed...
Reading a lot of the reviews on amazon it seems to be a running theme that not all of the BT keyboards are compatible with android. Now, whether that is true or not, I don't know. I was hoping to find someone who has one and can provide some insight. Supposedly, according to the reviews, there are two different protocols for BT and only one(spp, if that makes sense?) works with android. That's the best info I have gathered, but this is strictly based off of reviewers, so I don't actually know anything. So I thought I would bring my question/problem to the smartest community on earth.
I will play around again with my Apple keyboard tonight and see if I can figure this out for you. And for me!
I'm interested as well. Like you, I haven't been able to find any hard info either, and don't want to waste money...
hello, I've been interested in this for a while now…*
here's the BT keyboard i'm considering:
Spider E-BTKB-B001 Black Bluetooth Wireless Ultra Slim Keyboard - seen on newegg ~ $40
although today I tried this app:
market.android.com - Remote Web Desktop
its wifi keyboard feature gets your foot in the door with real keyboard text entry…*haven't tested this for my use case - notes in audible bookmarks - but i look forward to the future development of this Remote Web Desktop application
oops, i can't include links yet
So, if I understood your post correctly, you have already received this and it does work correctly? Can you post some pics to show how big it is compared to the phone? Thanks for the post.

+1 to this post. Very interested.
This one on amazon looks like it works... from the reviews anyway
ProMini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard (Build-in TouchPad/Laser Pointer) - Black
(cant post links yet so you'll have to search)

I can confirm that my buddy's apple bt keyboard works with my TB, but my dell bt keyboard does not.
Can you provide the keyboard model that worked?
I have a no name mini bt keyboard that pairs but will not connect with my unrooted thunderbolt..
The one I have is an unbranded keyboard
Mini Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard for iPad/iPhone 4.0 OS/Android/Window Mobile/Symbian Smartphone
It will pair but not connect.

What app did you use to get the bluetooth keyboard to work? I'm very interested in this.
Has anyone tried the Motorola Wireless Keyboard? It's made for Android and has shortcut keys.

Intrigued, I would really like to know also. Is that the one for the Xoom?
I've got one of those no-name (actually a company called magic-pro) bluetooth keyboards, and I've tried every app/driver out there that I've been able to find to get the danged thing to work. So far the most useful thing on it is the laserpointer, it's a great cat toy. The bluetooth dongle does work pain-free with a Windows 7 machine, but that's not why I got the thing. Going to keep on trying new revisions, hopefully I'll hit something eventually that doesn't require rooting.
I use Wifi Keyboard occassionally which works great, cheaper then buying a BT.

Hahaha! You made my day OneStepAhead! I'm using it right now to text family without having to type on my phone. This is really really cool. I was not going to buy a $100 keyboard, so this is perfect.
Which one did you buy?
I tried searching the forum and Google, can't find an answer. I am trying to be able to remotely provide tech support to Fire Tv's/Sticks, anybody knows how? I tried Teamviewer Quicksupport but wasn't able to remote in like on computers. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If you are rooted, Teamviewer Quicksupport works well. When you are rooted and a remote access is requested, you will be asked to grant root access once so the remote view can work. I use it all the time for my parent's firetv overseas and am glad they are rooted.
I also tried contacting Teamviewer on this and their response was around Amazon will not approve their app for remote.
For my parent's firetv, it wasn't rooted, so I sold it on ebay and repurchased another one which could be rooted. Total net loss was about $25.

This seems really useful. I'm rooted but had some trouble connecting last night. Is it a paid app? I saw there was a full version but what does the free version get?
I already have a few ways to connect remotely to my computers so this would primarily be for my aftvs. Might come in handy if I'm at work and my wife has problems with it (which happens often)

I don't know about the paid version or the free version. I have a version of apk at home which I can send to you if you like. Just install that and you will have full remote capability. I didn't know there was a paid version of quicksupport. I have most of the needed apk's and have a batch file which installs all of them for a new firetv that I build for friends and family.

Yes please. That'd be great! Maybe I got it wrong. A quick search brought me to the site and it does say full version but it says free as well. And there's a number for sales and one for tech support? Never seen that but haven't looked to deeply. Could be like an open source type deal which is donation optional for personal use but you need a license for business. Anyways, yes I'd like to try your apk when you have time. Thanks!

Thanks! Oh yeah, I can definetly manage the apk install lol. I think I just got a little confused with the setup. When I installed it the other nite it asked for a remote but then the only other thing I found was quicksupport (which I assumed you'd install on your android phone/tablet). That combined with the fact I thought it might be a paid app just made me think your apk was different. But I'll get it working.
I'm really surprised this is a free service. I use to have a similar app for Mac which was free app a few years back then they started charging. I actually don't even bother telling my parents about kodi because if it has issues they won't be able to fix it, but if I can do that remotely it changes things. I appreciate the time. Sorry for the miscommunication.
Not a problem. Let me know how it works for you. You need root to enable screen sharing and the first time you request remote access supersu will prompt for root access confirmation. Teamviewer is free for personal and household use and no adds. It's really good.
Good luck

I haven't had loads of time to figure this out but might know why I'm struggling. Can teamviwer not remotely connect from android to aftv? I've been trying to do it with my phone and then my tablet but do you need to use a PC or Mac as your remote?
That's the only reason I can think as to why I can't get it to work. But for me, it'd be a lot more convenient if I could use my phone/tablet since those are the devices I always have on hand or very close by.

I've been having issues with quick support only allowing screen sharing. I have a rooted fire tv 2 and a rooted Fire tv stick 4k and i'm running the same file you linked to
on the google play store. It never asked me to grant root permission like other apps have.
In the advanced setting of quick support there used to be an option to "Install Additional Add-Ons " but now that is always grayed out. So the only other thing i can
come up with is to find the Addon's or through adb manually allow root access to the quick support.apk.
It's doesn't make sense. this used to work on rooted Fire Tv's but not any longer. You post is now 5 years old and i'm wondering if your having the same issues i am.
