Is there any app that allows me to control my pc via my Nook? I would like to be able to contol the media on my computer as a sit back and relax
My favorite app for remote desktop is Logmein its $14.99 on the app market. And works great on the Nook

There are many such apps on the Market. Have you tried Gmote?
My favorite remote app is Unified Remote, which has remotes for almost every purpose. It even saved my life when I had to give a presentation for an exam with 3 fellow students.
Nobody brought a presenter, so I quickly installed the desktop client and passed my phone to whomever was speaking next.
For a full-featured remote desktop, I settled for Android VNC Viewer. No need to pay money for Logmein.
PROTIP: Have a look at this thread I made a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115986
Using these steps, you can launch your remote app (and any other app) right from the lockscreen. Saves me loads of time whenever I just want to adjust the volume or stuff like that.
I love Unified Remote as a plain remote.
VNC is also great for free but Logmein just rocks for me with multiple networks and stuff like that as a remote desktop app.

It may be a tad overkill for your purposes, but my favorite remote desktop app is Team Viewer.
Simple to setup, simple to use, and it's free.
For your purposes, I've heard a lot of good things about gmote, but I wasn't able to get it to work.
I use androidVNC with TightVNC server on my desktop. To lazy to get up and move the mouse for Netflix
+1 for Unified Remote
Excellent tool with lot of remotes for different situations.
This is the one I use: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient&feature=search_result
There's also Tesla, if you use *nix on your PC.
Use teamviewer, it's free and best software I used for both Laptop & NC.
But you cannot use your PC to remote your NC via teamviewer

What settings do you use to control netflix? I was trying to do this, but the slow framerate kills any attempt to control my desktop, that and the netflix buttons don't render, so I have to guess where I'm clicking.
Other than that I'd +1 to androidVNC, suits most of my needs fine. I'll have to check out unified remote though, looks good.

Androidvnc is set up as 64 colors (1bpp) with Force full-screen bitmap on Auto, with Zoomable Scaling.
Everything renders fine for me, including the buttons. Colors are a little off, but that doesn't matter when I am only using it as a remote. On desktop side I did nothing in TightVNC except make sure that it turns off my wallpaper, just in case.
i was using pocketcloud (rdp) but hitting the menu button doesn't work anymore: No menu, no virtual mouse
I use and enjoy Splashtop Remote.
(Tried to add a URL to the market, but weren't allowed to do so. Search for Splashtop Remote HD in Android Market, that should do the trick.)
Not entirely sure what you want to control - but look into DLNA apps. You can play your media (pictures, video, audio) and control any other DLNA app/renderer (blu-ray, etc).
"Play this video on my TV" or "go to laptop, stream this music to my Nook Color". It's pretty handy stuff.
Hi everybody
I have a Android based tablet(junpad, like flypad) that i have as a spotify player.
Now i woundering if ther is any apps that make it possible for me to use my galaxy s or laptop as a remotecontrol to change track etc, etc. have looked at Remote Web Desktop but i cant control spotify through that. And DroidMote Server does not work on the tablet for some reason.
So, is there any aps out there that fits me?
I can connect a wireless usb mouse to the tablet, but how cool is that? Would be nice with a app or something
No one knows anyting that can work?
I'm gonna drudge this up instead of starting a new thread. Same question. I would like to control Spotify from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with my Galaxy S III...
... also same questiion....
Did you get any further with this?
It would be great if Spotify could enable an option to play music on any other device (with the same user registered).
My best solution so far is with Spot Commander; an android application which controls a spotify server on a Linux netbook.
But I'd prefer to use an obsolete Android phone - since it would use much less power - also in stand-by. Another idea - perhaps the spot commander server application (which is Open Source) could be ported to the Raspberry Pi.
Media Remote
Media Remote by appshroom works but is pretty limited.
Hey folks,
Sorry to kick up an old thread, but I was Googling around to find the answer to the question posed above and I thought maybe answering this thread would help the next guy. It seems that if you want to control Spotify on Android from another Android, you can do so using DroidRemote. The downside to doing it this way is that it uses bluetooth.
I'd really prefer a way to do it via WiFi as its' range is higher and I don't have to turn on the bluetooth radio just for this purpose, which in turn consumes my precious mAh's. It'd also be dandy if I could use my Windows box to control Spotify on Android.
This Galaxy Tab 2 will do nicely as a Spotify player but controlling it remotely would be even more boss.
Hello,
Is there any new solution to remote control Spotify on tablet from a phone ? Is there no tweak available or mod ? Even if you root your phone / tab ?
Regards.

I second this question.
I have a small Minix as my spotify player connected to my TV and surround system. I have been searching forever for a solution that will allow me to control the Minix spotify session from my Nexus7 Tablet.
Any suggestions? Please!!!!!
/Desperate!!!!!!
Ok I have a spare S3 which i'm not going to use, so i plan to plug it to a TV via HDMI and use it as a multimedia center.
So from what i can see I need 2 things.
1. good app to wirelessly sync files between PC, Tablet, Smartphone and the S3 (option to stream media from the PC would be great as well)
2. A program to remote control the S3 from my other android smartphone
any other advise for the setup is welcome
no suggestions whatsoever? :>
Final attempt to get some advises
i don#t know of any app that is able to handle both, but as a start you might look at xbmc, wich actually is a media center, also avaliable for android.
i'd give you links to sites where you can download it (it's still in beta), but i have not enough posts to do so. you should google XBMC android chip.de
or
xbmc android androidpit
or somtething like this.
I have found tons of apps that let you remote control your phone from your WinBlows computer and some that do the reverse; however, I haven't found any apps that will remote control a smartphone from another smartphone. I would assume rooting would be required on the phone being remote controlled (running daemon) but the client side wouldn't need to be rooted. I use all three of our smartphones to watch video content on our large household TVs and remote controlling these from another smartphone would be handy (don't want to boot a PC to perform the remote control funtion)
Any pointers to an app (if one exists) would be greatly appreciated.

yep it's hard to find but this app should do the job :
i am a noob user of xda so i can't post links but you can find an app called "VNC server" on the playstore
it's a vnc server ... i didn't find better one
Hello everybody!
I've used the MyMobiler for remote access to the phone, but I can no longer in the Atrix.
There is another app that does the same work, the PC control the android, like TeamViewer for example.
Do not say like AirDroid, say one that has screen capture.
Thanks!
