control iconia from another android device?

archos has a remote app that lets you use your phone as a remote for the archos gen 8 series.
anything like it for the iconia? much easier to pause from the couch then getting up and going to the tablet

+1 This would be very useful, mainly for when connected via HDMI to a TV or playing music in a different room, then just use phone as a remote.
Point of interest, the game Crazy Snowboard from the market has an option where you can play on your tablet while controlling your snowboarder from an Android phone via wifi. Figured I'd mention it since this is along the same line as what we're looking for.

No way to control Iconia from an Android device ???

Digging up an old thread here. I use TeamViewer to access my other PC's from Android devices, but am looking for something where I could access the tablet from my PC. Is anyone aware of an app to remote access the Androids?

B to the izzump!

Havent tried it but this: market.android.com/details?id=com.iandrobot.andromouse.lite
or this: market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid
would probally work. Basically they just turn your phone into a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Theres many other apps like this, those are just two that i picked.

Im sure there are vnc servers apps out there for android. you could install a vnc client on your phone then remote in to the tablet with the vnc server running. That would be one way of doing it. That's not very elegant but would work.

Not likely what I'm looking for as I would not be near the tablet, and even if I were, it's not likely I would use this rather than just picking up the tablet.

I thought of this, and would work maybe 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time is if my tablet happens to be somewhere other than my house as it would then be on a different network and the client would not have a way to get to it, unless there are VNC servers that have a web service that broadcasts the tablets current location, similar to dyn-dns.

Hi,
I've found an app to control an android device from another android device. You have to install the app "DroidMote Client" on the device from which you want to control and install "DroidMote Server" on the device which you want to control. I'm using this on my HTC Desire to control my Transformer while it is connected to my TV. It works really good with this devices
Look at YouTube

Bluepurdroid is free on the market and works over bluetooth. You can choose to use a mousepointer to navigate your iconia, keyboard also works. You can also use a sixaxis controller. Haven't tried this on my A500 but works great on my ps3. The mouse and keyboard works just fine, like using a bluetoothkeyboard.
Great app for controlling the a500 while using it with a HDTV.

Something like teamviewer or vpn server?

hm while using team viewer to connect to pc in the popup window on pc there is a no. which is used to cennect to the device. Did someone tried to use this no. to connect back to the team viewer on the tablet?

i've been using DroidMote between my Iconia and my Fascinate for months running netflix and google music on my tv. definitely don't regret not getting a google tv device! ha. it runs great and yes you can use a wireless (usb) keyboard and mouse but most of us also own an android phone and they're much more convenient and one handed. just thought i'd put my two cents out there for anyone stumbling across this thread. totally worth the money, replaced my wii for HD netflix streaming!

Control mobile from Laptop

Hi all,
I wanted to remotely connect to my android device from my laptop, but unfortunately i am not able to get it working! I tried to install Droid VNC server on my mobile, but while connecting to it from laptop, it force closes!
After that i tried using Androidscreeencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/, which is a desktop app to control android device remotely, but even that shows some error while connecting
If anyone was able to connect remotely to their android device, please share it with me.

You can always try ADB Maskcontroller
there you have an option to connect your android device remotely and you can fully control your device

Or try android webkey: it allows you to control your phone with your browser!

Anyone got Droid VNC Server working and able to view from PC?

I've got Droid VNC Server up and running on my Nexus 7 but when I open a RealVNC viewer from a Windows 7 PC I get a scrambled display. I've tried all of the display settings on the VNC Server on the Nexus but none seem to work.
Has anyone managed to get this working on the Nexus?

I think this indicates a bug getting the screenshot, it's most likely the pixel buffer length is different from the display width.
I will send you a private message for another app that works.

Hi guys -
Firstly Happy New Year to you all
My uncle has a Nexus 7 and I would like to remote control it from my pc incase he gets into difficulties etc ... any ideas on the best app for this?
thanks in advance :0)
Ian

As far as I know, only our app, VMLite VNC Server, supports Android 4.2 at this point, you can try it, but it's not free, available from google store.

Not working on the Nexus 7 - both server and VNC viewer client hang.

can you email? We have many users using Nexus 7 and works well, so I will work with you to make sure it works, might be some configuration issue.

+1 to this, I've tried just about every VNC server app out there and none have worked so far on the N7 running 4.2. Really would like the ability to have control from the PC. I always have my phone up on the desktop when using it. So much easier than having to look at it to answer messages.

Did you try our paid app, vmlite vnc server? People are using it on N7 with Android 4.2, works very well and we tested it on daily basis.

The need to hook up the tablet to a PC with a USB cable after every reboot to restart the server means this isn't a great solution even if it can be made to work on the Nexus 7.

I noticed it but as the above user stated. It's too inconvenient having to connect to a pc to start it. Defeats the whole point of having it. Can easily mirror the device when it's tethered to the PC. If just like standard VNC server to work with 4.2 as it used to.

You have to root the device if you don't want to hook USB cable to pc to start it, then you can just press start/stop button. For non rooted device, you hook the phone to the pc, press a button to start the server, then disconnect the phone from the pc. You can remote to the phone afterwards as long as you don't power it off. In other words, once server started, no need at all to connect the phone to the pc.
My phone is not rooted, and seldom powers off, so I do this perhaps once a month, then you disconnect the phone from pc, which is not bad at all, just like a user would use USB cable to do data transfer. I don't know why it defeats the purpose, a few thousands of users are happy with it.

I can confirm that my machine is rooted but this didn't work as you described when I tried it. Neither the PC nor the button on the Nexus screen would start the server. Only had 15 mins to try it before getting a refund but it certainly wasn't plug-and-play

Thanks, that must be a bug, no wonder you mentioned a hang on device, if we found su binary, it will wait for 30secs to try the root way of starting the server, but somehow didn't work out on your device. What method did you use to root your device?
If you email to me, will try to send you debug version to test.
Which version of our app did you try? anything before v1.1.6 may have more issues on this.

I also tried and is the same as all other vnc servers, just won't work. I am also rooted, the devices i use and ROMs are in my signature.

That's interesting and weird, seems Nexus 7/10 (Android 4.2) differs from person to person? We do have other customers successfully run our app on 4.2. I can debug with you if you like to.

Trying to run on a galaxy s3 clone, seems quite good compared to the other free VNC server, all but 1 just didn't work.
Have problems with keyboard, nothing sent from buffer until leftmouse clicked
any suggestions?
occasionally get message saying server stopped, but it's still running
seems to disable softkeyboard on android device, any option to prevent this
F4 can cause rotation - stop server OR crunch

VNC on Nexus 7
Hi,
I have been trying to use Fast Droid and Droid VNC on Nexus 7 but it always results in a scrambled image on a VNC viewer. I have tried various viewers, both on a Windows and Linux PC. Did anyone got the VNC working on Nexus 7?
Interestingly when I use "adb screenshot" command on my Nexus 7, I get the same scrambled image as what I see on the VNC viewer.

I got scramble image too ..
anyone have the solution ?
thx :good:

No VNC servers work
droid VNC Server
Pixel Beta
VNC_server
VNC Server Ultimate
None of these work with my rooted VZW SGS3.
Tough to believe that there is no working VNC server.

Maybe with one of the ROM that have tablet mode it will work.
Edit: You can control your PC from NOTE II with Splashtop Streamer but not the opposite.

Splashtop doesn't allow running apps. Do you know other remote control app that allow running the phone apps within the remote session?

Splashtop is to control your PC from your phone. When you connect to your PC via Splashtop your phone become Windows XX and you can fully use your Windows/MAC/Linux from your phone even if you're not at home as it use the internet to connect. You can even set Splashtop as a second monitor and use it as an extended desktop. Pretty useful if you have a tablet.
Mobizen control your PHONE from pc.
To my knowledge only Mobizen can control phone app from remote.

With team viewer you can control your PC via your Android mobile but not the other way around....

You can use my phone Explorer if you're connected to the same WiFi.. I have used it to recover data from a relative's touch screen conked phone
