During my Sony Ericsson P800 days, there is a desktop PC application where I can control the phone right at the desktop using a mouse and keyboard. The actual screen of the phone is shown right on the desktop.
Is there one for the Atrix? What is the name of the application and is there a "how to" procedure?
I'm experimenting a lot of apps. I might as well do it on a larger desktop screen than on the phone.
Edit: ..or should I have said "Atrix emulator" for the PC.
TeamViewer is aa great application. FYI, most applications are developed to work on more than just one particular phone, more like all phones that support some general software/hardware requirement.

I was hoping for a simple remote control for my Atrix. Several applications in the market are for the phone to control the PC but not the other way around. Teamviewer price is prohibitive to me. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
I'm not sure if there are any, but what you're looking for is a VNC server for the phone. Hope that helps.
No solution in sight
I found 2 solutions but none of them works on the Atrix
1. Android Screencast: http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
2. Droid VNC Server: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&feature=search_result
This is where Symbian phones are well ahead of Androids. I hope Android can catch up.

ScreenCast is working for me
Edit: I take that back.. it actually shows my display, but I can't click on anything with my mouse.. darn.
Use the Motorola "Phone Portal" that came installed on your phone.

So i didn't see any threads about this and thought i'd post on it. I use VNC every day at work and i love how easy it is to connect to my laptop at home. but what if i want to access my laptop or my work computer and i'm not home? VNC Mobile is the answer. Pretty sweet little app that works just like the regular VNC Viewer. View is scaleable from 1/5 of the sever to 1:1 ratio or even 200% zoom. you can push ctrl, alt, and function commands as well. pretty sweet free app.

I have had all sorts of fun with this at work. I would walk to someone's machine, see them locked out, log into the server from my phone and unlock them. Also at home I use VNC to control Winamp and do other basic PC functions from the phone. On the road I use Browseamp and Shoutcast! to control and stream music to my phone and using a homehacked adapter play and charge the phone in my truck.
Have you compared this to RealVNC's WinMo beta client? That's what I'm currently using and it's the only one I've found that worked.
Post a link please....

I am looking for a remote control/keyboard/remote desktop app. I have seen several of them in the market, but I have a specific want and I don't know if any will do this.
I want to be able to sit in the livingroom and control my PC that is attached to my TV. I currently use a wireless keyboard, but the biggest issue with that is the text is too small, and I basically have to walk over to the tv to use it. I know there are settings for large fonts, etc, but I use the PC for several things and that change is impracticable.
So what I am hoping for is to have my G Tab in my lap and be able to see the computer screen and control it using the g tab... BUT also be able to see what I am clicking on and the results of those clicks on the TV/PC.
When I use Remote Desktop, it logs off the TV/monitor connection and only routes the video to what ever device is logged in... I want it on both devices. Maybe like the remote tech support people can do on some PC's.
Can you point me in the right direction for an app like that.
I use remotedroid. Works perfectly with the gtab

I looked at this, and it does look cool but I already have a wireless keyboard, with a trackball built in. I like the idea, but it is not what I am looking for.
I am looking for a program that when you look at the G Tab you see the computer screen, and when you look at the monitor/tv you see the same thing. Then you can use the tablet as the control. All movement and visuals are repeated on both screens. Like having dual monitors except 1 is the touch screen tablet. I think PhoneMyPC would do it, but I am not sure.
I use PocketCloud VNC. It seems quite smooth. You might not want VNC though, but it would solve your text size issues, I think.
But Pocket Cloud does not show both screens at once, as the OP is desiring, does it?
boufa, there was a thread around here recently about using the g-tab as a second monitor, so I know it works like that; but I don't know how to control the PC from the g-Tab while seeing both screens. I'm using Pocket Cloud as well.
You guys are great, pointed me in the rough direction, and found TeamViewer.
It looks to do exactly what I want it to do. Full clone of the desktop via Wifi or 3g. I was supprized that it was free for non-commercial use.
I tested it and it works good on my HTC Inspire over 3g, I won't have my G Tab until tomorrow night so I cannot test it until then. I'll report back.
My project group for our senior project is developing an Android app. We are pretty much done at this point, but we have to present our app on Friday. We have done a practice presentation with a demo on the emulator, but we would like to present it on my phone.
I was wondering what is the best/easiest way to put my Android display on a PC so we can do our presentation on my phone the way it was meant to be shown.
So it would be my phone connected to a laptop, laptop connected to projector, and laptop displaying my phone's display on the projector.
This way we can also use our GPS location and use the app to take pictures which are both important parts of our presentation.
Do you have a HDMI out port on your Android device? That would work nicely.

Any examples?
And no HDMI port, its a Droid 2.
Since you said you are developing apps, i assume you've done so using eclipse, and if not
then download it. install ADT plugin, make a bogus project,
OR if you already are working in eclipse, open your project, deploy on phone using Ctrl+F11 when your phone is in Debugging mode with ADB daemon running, open DDMS window in eclipse, on the top bar click on "Device" and then on capture screen.
oops, sorry thought you just needed pics for presentation. Remote ADB is your only way then
iDisplay. It works on Mac and PC according to there description. It cost $4.99 though...

You don't need to install anything, it's just a java jar (executable)

I think USB data is the way. first the connect your android phone and your pc via USB data cable.

Afaik the idisplay was meant to migrate your pc's entire screen onto your Android phones display?wasnt?
as an alternative monitor i say
i remember my LG p970 having a PC app called ' LG on screen phone '(LG OSP) that since i was(am) #### about Smartphones networking solutions, i tried installing it on my low-end toshiba laptop, and it was damn OK and working like a charm likely with 30Fps or more.
then after i ve tried many cross-platform apps like mobo made one for my Htc and sony devices,and neither of them could saticfy me with their stupid qiualities and low frame rate.
i yet have that application. But the question is whether can a dev handle some modification on it to be use on any kinda android devices?
huh... devs are asleep..
This guy is running Windows 8 and is able to see an 'ASUS like' device on his computer. It looks like he can control it as well...
Here is a link to the YouTube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UpugJkgH8o
Anyone know what app he's using? Is this possibly emulated?
He says that if the page gets enough traffic, he'll offer up the details. I went through and tried to search for it on XDA but nothing matches the way his app looked.
Thanks

I know you can use ScreenCast to do that, although complicated and slow.
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
You can also use our VMLite VNC Server to install on Android, then control using a VNC viewer on pc,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
there might be other apps too
I was hoping the app he's using is different from these 2 and that it worked really well. Who knows... hopefully someone knows what app this is or the guy tells us...
Might be an external display, some android devices support hdmi cable, which connects to tv card on that pc
so i did a search but i'm not really sure how this category of app works. im basically looking for an app that will let me do stuff on the desktop,through my phone. for example, i could be lying on the bed, and i use my phone to open a page on the desktop and play some music(through the desktop speakers). is this even possible?

perfectly possible with a droid
you need a wif though.
The best app I would say is win remote. It needs an apk to be installed from play store and a small app to be installed on your pc. the rest is simple

Unfortunately, that requires Wine installed on a Linux box. Pity.

thanks for all your suggestion guys. have tried out pocketcloud and teamviewer(phonepc is so expensive! these 2 are free.) and i think i like teamviwer a tad better because of the mouse system...its more "touch based" if u get what i mean. awesome! :good::good:
phone my pc....
that is the name of the app....
Enjoy and say thaks
SplashTop is pretty good as well
as long as you have a google account and you register it, you can actually connect to your PC through 3g network anywhere. I feel that it's kind of hard to use at the moment, but they are coming out with a new version soon so hope that helps.

For simple control, there's always VNC (and there's definitely at least one viewer for Android). If you're still running GNOME, it had (has? I don't know about GNOME 3 *shudder*) an integrated VNC server in the form of Vinagre. Else there's x11vnc. Unlike with Team Viewer, though, you get to have the fun of port forwarding etc. yourself if you wish to use it to control your computer outside of your home network.
Log me in is by far the superior alternative. Multiple PC's from anywhere.
