Yesterday i was chatting away on the phone , and realized i wanted a solution that would let me control the phone from the pc.
I installed droidvnc server but somehow it doesn't work, it automatically stops the server as soon as you try to connect to it.
So today i thought of another solution (besides buying a bluetooth keyboard), which is to emulate a bluetooth keyboard in software installed to the pc.
I have searched this and apparently it isn't easy to do. I have a bluetooth dongle on my windows laptop, but this isn't enough since i would need to emulate the proper hid profile.
Is this possible? Or do you know of another solution?
This sounds like some Xzibit 'Pimp my Atrix' type mod. Yo dawg! I heard you like to input text on your device while your talking on it but cant see; So I installed an emulator on your laptop keyboard so now you can type on your laptop while you type on your phone while you talk on your phone but cant see!

Dude WTF. i'm not looking for a headset.
I want to use my laptop's keyboard as the phone's keyboard over bluetooth.
In linux, there's a program called hidclient that seems to do this. I want to do this from windows. Basically i want a virtual bluetooth keyboard.
Well I was trying to make you laugh but I guess no luck..
Have you tried the "Phone Portal" app in your app drawer? It will allow you to send sms and such via your computers keyboard.
Hi,
I use an MHL adaptor to connect my Android device on a HDMI screen.
This is really great but it would be perfect if I could use my PC keyboard and PC mouse to control it.
I tried VNC servers and TeamViewer QuickSupport but the main problem is that I don't see the mouse pointer on my device so it's very difficult to use a mouse when you don't see the pointer ^^
Does anyone know if there is a way to remotely access an Android device from a computer and be able to see this mouse pointer on the device?
Thank you
I would also like to see how !!!
Unfortunately I don't think this is possible. At least I haven't found a way to do it myself.
On a PC it's possible with VNC so maybe it's also possible with an Android VNC server?
Also I know that an Android pointer (a circle) it's provided in Android because when I connect a mouse on my tablet I see it.
So there must be a way to use this Android pointer in a remote access way...
I use this device (MK808) daily devices, install a vnc server on android, then use vnc viewer from PC/Android/iPhone/iPad to control it. Attached are some screenshots.
you can also try using teamviewer quick support. It remotes into your android device and u get to see the full desktop on ur pc. You can initiate the connection before u connect it to HDMI.
Thank you for your ideas guys but this is not really what I want because in my case I use the HDMI output because it's really much more reactive than VNC or TeamViewer.
My only problem is that I don't see the mouse pointer so it's difficult to do anything when you don't know where your mouse is in the screen :/
I guess I'll have to buy a BT mouse and keyboard :/

Bluetooth is the best option. You can use a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, PlayStation 3 controller or the tv remote made for the PlayStation 3

I have a solution for you..
Try LANmote

or use wireless USB KB/Mouse connected to your Android device.
mmm I do not think it possible, but research on the subject, hear interesting xD

This app is not a solution for me because I want to switch my screen on my Android device (with the MHL adapter) and if I use this app I need another screen for an HTML5 browser.

I can do that but my question was exactly to not have to do that.

What do you mean switch screen?
If you mean swiping the launcher or home screen, you can do it with LANmote by using multi-touch on the mobile browser or computer browser too with mouse.
If you mean switch on your MHL HDMI output, do you mean you can't do it via Android's own interface?
Do you just want to see the mouse pointer? Don't know if that will work, but in developer option (Android 4+) enable the option to see where you touch (don't remember the exact option name). By enabling it, when you touch (or use the mouse to act as a touch) it will show a little ball as a cursor.
I'd be interested in knowing if one Galaxy can control another connected via MHL in lieu of having a BT keyboard/mouse

Before anyone answer without reading, Im looking for an app that can remote control my phone from my pc without streaming the screen.
I have an Xperia that connects to my TV via HDMI & I don't have any wireless mouse/keyboard. So I need a way to control it from my PC with a decent speed. I just need basic nagivation buttons, home/menu/back or mouse support if possible...
Anyone can suggest me some apps?
Nvm... After a full day googling, I just found a perfect solution
All hail ShareKM xD

We need to control a Tablet using an android device via Wi-Fi.Is it possible to implement a Android-to-Android mouse application between these two devices?
Hi all,
I'm looking into buying a Tab S4, particularly because of its DeX function.
Can anyone confirm whether the Tab S4 works with the DeX pad, or just the USB-C to HDMI cable?
I'm wondering whether it would be possible to use it with the pad to connect a wireless mouse and keyboard receiver, rather than having to rely on Bluetooth direct to the tablet.
Thanks,
J
It i's working even without an external screen.
For DEX I use most of the time the screen miroring through wifi, easy.
Yes, there is an option to put it into dex mode without any external attachments. It only works in landscape mode though. I wish it worked in portrait mode too. I love dex and would use it exclusively.
It works flawlessly...
From what I've read it works with the DeX pad but you may encounter the error "Close cover to enable DeX Mode". If you don't have a Samsung cover the easiest way out is to go to Amazon and purchase a 7-1 or 8-1 hub. A search here should return you some links.
Just as a note, most HDMI to usb c adaptors include usb ports, and Logitech universal receivers work off them. I've used a Logitec K750 Keyboard + Anywhere MX mouse (synced to the same universal receiver). The caveat is that the logitech unifying software is not available on Android. You need to link the receiver, mouse and keyboard on a pc, and then they work on the tablet. If you want to change linked devices, you need to go back to the pc. I did notice one of the mice I tried was overly sensative, so some mice may work better than others.
Has anyone tried using Microsoft Remote Desktop Client app on this tablet? I want to know if the right click button works. Please tell me that it does I'll be really really happy. I really want to buy this tablet but I can't justify the cost unless I can use it for work instead of buying a laptop.
This really should be a new topic / new thread but...
Yes, I use MS Remote Desktop to access my work computer from home. Usually, I use the onscreen keyboard and touchscreen, which can be awkward.
But I just hooked up my USB keyboard and Bluetooth mouse, and both work fine with Remote Desktop. Right click works.
One disclaimer - I usually use MS Remote Desktop Beta, which is currently crashing every time I try to run it. I installed the released version of MS Remote Desktop and had no issues. So you might want to stay away from the RD Beta version.
