Use Your Android As A Remote
You don't have to have an infrared blaster in your Android device to use it as a remote. Many remote control apps will work over your home network or Bluetooth. I use my phone to control my Nexus Player because the stock remote that it came with died. It's annoying to have to stop using my phone every time I need to navigate my Nexus player, so it would make sense to dedicate an old device to use as a remote.
There are remote apps to control just about anything you need. Here are a few of the best ones on the Play store.

Download Retune (iTunes Remote)
Download Unified Remote
Download PowerDVD Remote
Download Yatse, Kodi / XDMC Remote
Do you use any remote apps? Is so, what do you use them for?
Instead of Yatse, why not use Kodi's oficial app Kore?

Hello to all of you wonderful folks on XDA!
I have searched high and low for an app like this and was not able to find anything suitable.
First, this is what I am thinking:

The phone acts as a wireless audio receiver for the media playing on the PC (either audio or video) AND as a remote control for the media player (VLC/MPC/WMP/Winamp etc - not just media center)
I have tried remote desktop but it is a flimsy remote even if it has audio playing on the phone and requires concurrent login of the user enabled.
Even just the streaming audio from the PC over WiFi to the phone is a good thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Search google for RemoteAmp or it's predecessor Signal.
Orb?

I've used it for years and works pretty well.
I DO ALL THE STEPS FROM THE VIDEO IN YOU TUBE, AND EVREY TIME I SEE THIS MESSEGE

SOM 1 CAN TELL ME STEP BY STEP HOW CAN I DO REMOTE DESKTEP IN PERFECTLY WAY.....?
check if youve enabled the remote desktop in the computer by going to Start - Control Panel - System - then go to Remote Tab, verify if you have checked the Allow Remote Desktop.
Verify that the user account you're going to use have a valid password and is a member of the Remote Desktop Group (just in case)
Verify that if youre on the same subnet or the computer is in the remote subnet.. just in case it is located in the remote subnet, put a gateway in your device.
Also check the Task Manager and Users Tab if there are currently logged users.
not enabled in all versions of Vista, probably the same for Win 7, you need business or premium edition I think
Hello guys,
I want to introduce you a new mobile/desktop TV remote control application called Online TVx Remote Control. It connects through ineternet (using p2p technology) to desktop application (Online TVx).
Please download both applications and say your opinion about remote control
You only need to get unique identifier number from mobile (settings button) and put it in desktop application (red or yellow button opens a remote control dialog).
If you give us some interesting ideas for the mobile application, we'll gift you a lifetime license for Online TVx.
Thanx in advance!
Download link for desktop application: http://www.onlinetvx.com/downloads/OnlineTVx_4.0.0_Setup.exe
Download link for mobile application: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.emergencysoft.onlinetvxremotecontrol

Hey everybody.
Is there an app or tweak to map or emulate the volume buttons from the shield remote or the shield controller to a third party remote like the amazon fire tv remote.
Maybe like a deep press to the forward and backward button.

That would be very useful as I love the volume control from the shield controller but I don't want to use it for simpler tasks unless gaming.
I think I read there is way to do it on kodi but I'd like it system wide like the official remotes do.
A few old Android phones have an infrared transmitter to send information over them. Why not use this feature as a remote control for a TV or similar?
What you need:
A phone with a built in IR transmitter (e.g. a Samsung Galaxy S5) and Android 4.1 or higher
The application "irplus". You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.binarymode.android.irplus
When you have the application installed on your phone you have to add your TV, reciver etc. You can do this when you press the 3 strokes on the top left on your screen and then go to "add" and then to "codefinder".
You get the best results when you type in the search only the vendor of your device and try the listed codes out on what your device respond. If you have found the right code for your device you can add it with the plus on the right side.
Now you can use your phone as TV Remote!
If you want, you can add the Buttons as widgets for your launcher!
