Viewing Phone Screen on Pc - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks
Is it possible to view and control my phone on my pc?
thanks for any suggestions

It depends if your device is rooted. If it is then it's really easy using an app called 'Picme'. It's designed for allowing you to use your web-browser to screenshot your phone, but a (very good) side-effect of this is that you can control your phone by clicking and dragging your mouse in the browser as if it was your finger.
Otherwise the closest I've done is simulate Android on my computer, which isn't the same at all.

I tried webkey in market, it just working awesome!

With androidscreencast you can view your phone on the computer but not control it.

Try Lazydroid...you can access sms/calls/contacts from your pc browser via wifi...

In the name of Allah
I am using Remote Web Desktop.
This app have a addon that called 'Remote Control Add-on' , with this addon you can connect your phone remotly, like remote desktop on MS.Windows.
This addon use vnc server and you can connect to your phone with vnc client.

No vnc server at all
I think there is still no working free vnc-server for android as anyone who wrote sources for it
wants to earn money withit :crying: ...

VNC and/or Remote Desktop

Hi,
Anyone has suggestion for good VNC and/or Remote Desktop client that work with HTC Desire?
I tested this below:
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/android.androidVNC/
It does not work.
I was searching too and found this:
w_w_w_.xtralogic.com/rdpclient.shtml
I haven't tested it.
That could be nice, but it is very expensive for something that I dont use everyday ... $19.95

I have tried this and works a treat!
No file transfer but you can
1. use as a mouse
2. play music on either the phone or PC
3. browse pictures on either the the phone or PC
4. play a film on the PC
Apparently, this works!
After I changed the VNC server from UltraVNC to RealVNC (Free version), it does work fine.
But, the "Input Mode" is not that good ... It does not feel right, using finger touch.
Still OK though, better than nothing.

Try using TeamViewer. It works well. You can also try using gosupportnow remote support service, in order to establish View Only remote connection between your HTC phone and your computer, using a browser.

All good but the first two handle archives and use file manager.

I use screenshot for screenshots, battery usage I use the built in Android process, I have no idea what total manager is, wyse pocketcloud for VNC, and quadrant and linpack for benchmarking.
Also, adfree is awesome. It's like adblock for your phone.

AirDroid 2 Enters Invite-Only Beta With Access From Any Network update 9 dec 12

If you're like me, you regularly forget your data cable at home, in hotels or at the 24-hour Pokemon Trading Card Repository. In such cases, 2011's New App of the Year, AirDroid, is a lifesaver. It's an incredibly comprehensive remote management app that lets you access your Android device via a desktop web browser, complete with file management, app installations, photo browser, and lots more. The creators are ready to step up their game with the second version of AirDroid, and have set up an invite-only beta.
The only feature confirmed by the AirDroid team is the ability to create an account and log into remote management from anywhere, which presumably includes mobile networks. This would mirror various PC remote access services, with the notable exception of actual screen control. Given the amount of polish that the original AirDroid already shows, I'm sure there will be plenty more crammed in as well.
Invites should be going out soon, so sign up if you want to get in. The beta will be three months long, give or take, after which everyone else should be able to join in the party. And if you haven't checked out the original yet, what are you waiting for
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WfNnQxpw7Uw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfXRhSIm-m0
The great thing about AirDroid is that it works - it's easy to start up, and functions flawlessly (in my experience). The interface is also very polished - mimicking a desktop launcher complete with moveable icons, a task bar, and controls that allow you to do just about anything.
One of the most impressive features is the ability to access SMS messages, manage them, and send messages right from a web browser. Users can also manage contacts, uninstall/backup apps (AirDroid will download your apps as apk files), browse files, access the Android Market, and manage music and ringtones, in addition to the ability to look at phone information from CPU status to battery level and beyond.
Best of all, AirDroid is completely free from the Android Market. With all the powerful features it offers, this app is certainly worth checking out.
ITS FREE

i am using airdroid a lot at home, because it is working very good and very fast and the UI is very good, but the only problem in my opinion is that you need to connect to a shared wifi net....is there any program witch uses the WIFI direct function of the samsung galaxy s2 or that i can log in into a adhoc network?

[Q] RDP Without Client Companion App?

What I'm looking for is an app that RDP into Windows based computers. I know there are a bevy of apps such as, Splashtop that can do this. However you have to install some companion software on the host machine ahead of time for it to work. Is there an app that can just RDP, minus the extra software install?

You're best off using a tunnel between SSH and VNC to connect.
I've been using that for interaction from my phone/tablet to my server.
I use ConnectBot and Android VNC.

2X client will do rdp without any other app.
I use Remote RDP Lite everyday, works right off the fly. However if you;re connecting to Windows 7 box, you are going to need go to your remote settings and check it to less secure like you're connecting from a XP box.

I use Pocket Cloud daily, the companion app isn't required. You just have to create the connection manually within the app instead of using their auto-find-my-computer-in-the-cloud method.
I use this almost everyday. It has a nice touch screen control and multiple keyboard screens. Lots of keyboard shortcuts.

I use the full version of remote rdp, very light weight and smooth...I've tried most of the rdp apps and I find that a lot of them have too much going on with the GUI and or pointer that end up taking up precious screen real estate (I only use this on my N7 btw). Also I've found Bluetooth keyboards, USB kb/m and a USB credit card reader all work through remote rep. But just try out all the free versions of the above recommended.

Best app for controlling your PC/Mac from phone

Hi, All:
The other day I needed to study and take notes on a few Powerpoint slides, so I decided to take over the living television and make it my giant computer monitor. The only problem was, my HDMI cable didn't reach the couch, so I needed to find a way to remotely control my laptop. After a few minutes of browsing the Play Store, I found WiFi Mouse. One Android app install and one quick and easy computer app install later, all I had to do was tap the "auto connect" button and I was up and running. My Galaxy Nexus became a trackpad that was connected via my home WiFi network. There's even a scroll wheel in portrait mode, as well as the ability to use the Android keyboard for typing. I was also able to scroll using two finger gestures and move windows and icons using three fingers. All these features were included in the free version that I downloaded, which met my needs perfectly. For those that want extra features like hotkeys, dedicated minimize/maximize/close buttons, and an in-app keyboard, there is a paid version available for $2.99.

Team viewer is really handy, use it to help out the folks for trouble shooting their PCs, has saved me a lot of time/$ not having to drive there since they forgot how to print/upload/login.
LOL
Convenience
Easy to setup and use, the only downside is this app makes me lazy haha.
Easy to use and turns your phone in to your remote control. Love it
Real vnc is the best for me. You need a dynamic dns if you want to connect from Internet but it is very smooth and secure.
Really easy to use and to install, and a really good app overall.
WiFi Mouse maybe the best remote control app.

Works well and love sitting on the couch and being able to surf the web.
Phone My PC (http://softwareforme.com/?page_id=6) is by far the best imho. Rather then have to move the mouse around, you can just click on any area of the screen.
Aside from that, if you enable RDP on your computer you can use Microsoft's offical RDP app.
Chrome also just put out an official Android App for Chrome's remote desktop extension.
WiFi Mouse works perfect, auto connect and full screen keyboard are what i want.
Good app, it suitable for close control of the computer. Respond rapidly.
Thanks for sharing this awesome app, saving me a lot of money for a BT mouse.
