Is it possible to do this with android?
I am looking for a system which can make a windows pc remote controle an android phone, just like a bluetooth headset..
I want it to pick up call's as a minimum, but it would be cool if i can dial and make calls from the pc and receive/answer sms..
Does anybody know a program/app that can do this?
Over wifi or bluetooth.. Both can be used..

"Remote Phone Call" by JustRemotePhone
Hello,
We have developed an application which allows to call numbers on Android phones through a PC. The app also allows to pick up calls.
Look for the trail version of "Remote Phone Call" at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=justPhone.remotePhoneTrial or for the full version at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=justPhone.remotePhone
Since we have replaced our traditional office phones by mobile phones, we use our app every day by ourselves in conjunction with a Mono-Overhead-Bluetooth headset.
With the last version we have also a Microsoft Office integration for Outlook, Word and Excel. This integration allows calling of contacts, mail sender and recipients, numbers from editor text and Excel cell contents.
I hope this helps
Thomas.

You can try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, which allows you to control phones and tablets from a PC or from another device:

Hi
I have tried the different apps in this thread. But nothing helps me with my problem.
The setup.
I have my phone at one place (Denmark) and my macbook pro at another (France). so they can not be cabled together and they are not on the same WIFI.
The functions i need.
Make phone call from my macbook
Answer phone call on my macbook
send sms from my macbook
The benefit
I can call my friends at the place where my phone is (Denmark) at normal danish tarifs with my normal danish number but from my computer at the second place (France).
Is google voice an option?

Just discovered this app tonight.. fantastic! With some additional tweaking I've managed to set it up so I can make and receive calls using the onboard speakers and microphone of my laptop. Here's how I did it in case anyone else wants to give it a try:
1. Download Remote Phone Call from the Market - I used the trial version to test this but will be getting the full one based on the results!
2. Install on your phone and laptop (Win 7 x64 in my case)
3. Connect using Bluetooth NOT wireless (in fact disable wireless connectivity in the Remote Phone Call app options on your phone)
4. Pair your phone (Galaxy Note 2 in my case) to your laptop over Bluetooth
5. Goto Control Panel, Devices and Printers.. you should see your phone here if you've paired it right
6. Right-Click it, click Properties, then the Services tab and tick them all. Click Apply
7. Windows will install the drivers it needs but will probably fail on Bluetooth Peripheral Device
Go here and follow the instructions - make sure you get the right version for your machine (32-bit driver / 64-bit driver).
There's also links for AMD CPU versions on the same page (scroll down to the bottom left)
8. Assuming you get the missing driver installed, start Remote Phone Call in Windows and click on the Bluetooth headset icon at the top (choose your laptop name from the list)
That should do it!
One request... if you could add a dialpad to the Windows app (for navigating IVR menus etc) that would make this even better!
Cheers
did you find this?

Hey,
Did you find a solution for this? I want to do the same and that would be amazing. I'm not able to find an app that can do this. I know it should work through a fixed IP of DYNS. The app 'remote phone call' is getting close, but still you can't call from the PC of Mac and also only from the same network.
Would be very nice if you found a sollution. I think this is what a lot of travellers are waiting for
Thanks,
Sven

I cant make it work.. What bluetooth card do you have?? Broadcom right??
Do you know what chip it has? and where did you get the driver??
Thx so far... It looks like i am so close to my goal.. If i can make this work then my carpc will be perfect
MyPhoneExplorer
Why don't you guys try MyPhoneExplorer? Its simple, its decent, its lightening fast. Only drawback, you cannot talk on phone via PC. Rest all, it does.
On top of that its FREE!

I know this is an old thread, but I destroyed google search all day long having the same problem.
Android Phone is in country A, I am in country B.
How can I make remote calls through WIFI?
I don't have Windows > only Ubuntu and MacOS with me in country B.
I have adb access to phone in country A, also fixed IP there.
Are there any solutions in 2020? I tried teamviewer but it doesnt route the audio over internet.
Check out Join.
Look for some sort of screen mirroring solution, something like https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy with remote adb?
Currently, I have a shortcut that will open BT settings where I can connect to my 4G phone for tethering. Is there any way to create a shortcut that will just connect to that device without having the extra step of first opening bluetooth and then tapping the device?
I've tried Anycut, but all I can produce is a shortcut to Bluetooth settings.
Thanks in advance for your assistance in advance.

Hello, i use bluetooth for tethering my Prime with my Desire HD because it consumes less battery than using WIFI-Hotspot. The Problem with this was that the Transformer does not automatically connect to the phone when enabling bluetooth.
So i wrote an App that does exactly this. It reacts on the bluetooth_state_change broadcast and then connects to the phone. The App uses some hidden Api-Calls but seems to work well.
Since i don't have a market account yet, i thought it would be a good idea to upload it here. I attached the apk and the source.
Please comment!
EDIT: Seems to work with any bluetooth device, see posts below
EDIT2: This version is outdated. Please search "Bluetooth auto connect" by refluxa in Google play. I can't post any links here yet. Also it only works with Honeycomb or higher.

THANK YOU!!!!
This is very nice. I tried it and it works perfectly with my GNex, which I've basically been using constantly because wifi sucks. BT tether is the way to go.

Hey thanks. Works great. I use it in combination with bluetooth headset Jabra bt3030. So simple yet so effective.
Maybe you should rename the thread. It's not only good for tethering as you can see
Hi,
sorry for my late answer. Thank you for the comments. I'm glad to hear that it is useful for you, even though i don't know why it works with headsets. I explicitly select the Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) Profile.
Also i registered a developer account now and i think i will publish it there in the next days.
Looks like a very promising app. I tried it, but it crashes periodically on my AT&T Galaxy Note when I turn bluetooth on. Also, the bluetooth connected devices appear disabled - they are a very light color on a white background.
I'd love to help with this, let me know if you need more info or assistance.
Please see updated first post. You will have to wait until Samsung brings your device to ics.
Hello, I have SGS2 with ICS ROM. I have installed Bluetooth Auto Connect from Google Play because my phone doesn't want to connect to my BT car hands free automatically (manual connect always works). The auto connect app shows the name of my hansfree but the selection is unfortunately disabled. Can you please enable also other BT profiles (not only PAN) in your application? It can be very useful for another BT devices too.
Is there any way this app could allow for multiple device selection and have it recognize a "friendly name?" (if you rename the device in your BT panel)
This works great for me in my car to connect my BT, but I have a second transceiver that I use in my house that is identical, so it has the same name, and the software seems to randomly pick one of the two when BT powers up.
Allowing checkboxes for a multiple device selection to start up the BT connections would probably be enough for me, as then "random" will get both every time.
I just updated the app. Now it has support for Tasker / Locale and Multiple Devices!

I just found this great app trough a post on the Tasker forum and installed it immediate.
I noticed that if you manually start the app it will ask you to enable BT, but is you use the Tasker plugin it doesn't enable BT.
Of course you can enable BT using Tasker before using the plugin, it would be nice if the plugin had an optin to enable BT.
Beside that, thanks for this great app/plugin.

Hello,
i will have to ponder on that because tasker / locale developers say that functionality that is already offered by their programs should not be reimplemented in plugins. On the other hand i also see that some users have problems because they do not know that they have to enable bluetooth first. I think i will add a little notice at least.
Have you got a guide (or a link to one) to setup bluetooth tether (HTC One X to Transformer) so I can use this app?
Do you need root on the phone to do it?
Hello, sorry but i just overlooked your post. In general its a good idea to do the whole stuff manually once. First you have to pair your devices and enable bluetooth tethering on the phone (On my non-Sense-Phone: Settings -> More... (in Wireless & Networks Section) -> Tethering and mobile Hotspot). Then on the tablet open the configuration dialog using the button with the three controllers beside the entry of your phone in the bluetooth dialog. Select "use for internet connection". Go back to the previous menu and click on the entry. Now you should be able to use the phones internet connection. This is the point where the apps come into play: The auto tether app enables bluetooth tethering on the phone after reboot (is disabled automatically) and the auto connection app simply initiates the bluetooth connection when enabling bluetooth.
Fantastic app! So useful in conjunction with tasker
I was wondering if there were plans to add a complementary feature: i.e. the possibility to autodisconnect a specific BT device. I'm looking for an app that allows me to do that via tasker to be able to toggle my BT headset connection between my phone and my tablet. I don't think any app can do that yet?
Hello,
it has disconnect functionality now (Version 0.6)!

Hello, thank you for your app.
Unfortunately it crashes to me. I set it up so to connect to a joypad (that is, the iPega controller mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033780 ).
When I turn bluetooth on, "unfortunately the application has died unexpectedly".
Just reporting.
Thank you very much

Is there a way to disable the remote sim protocol on the S3? My carkit (RNS510 premium from Volkswagen) connects via this protocol but it's not the preferred method. There is a workarround, i can manually disconnect and then connect to the carkit via the phone (i think it connects via a2dp or something), but it's bit of a hassle. If I could just disable rsap my carkit will automaticlly connect via the other protocol (like it connects with an iphone)
If your phone is rooted you can rename /system/lib/bluez-plugin/sap.so. This should remove the SAP profile from your phone. Perhaps you have to repeat the pairing.

I am so happy that rSAP is available now - before I had to root and install 3rd party software. But usually you can decide while pairing which mode you like - at least my Audi asks which connection mode I would like. Maybe you have to unpair first on both devices and the pair again.
Out of interest: Why is rSAP not your preferred method? The phone itself uses less energy, reception is better due to the build in antenna and also the phonebook features are available in the car.
The only reason for me would be the lack of data connection on the phone which is only true if your car does not provide the Wifi Hotsport function - with this my S3 is connecting to the Internet and also the car has access for online traffic info, Google Earth, etc...

Grrr, why it does not want to work with MMI on A7? and he wants have disconnected, doh
I made the update, but nothing. It fails after the request of 6 digit PIN (indeed, I had 16 digits on my old BB Storm). Also with that 3rd party app, it doesn't work... what car do you have and what did you exactly to make it works?
Thanks.
Oooh...which firmware version did rsap support come in?

Hi there!
My name is Andre and I installed a Volkswagen Bluetooth kit with the remote SIM feature.
As I paired my Galaxy SIII with the kit, my phone asked me a couple of things that I auto answered yes...
The first one was about giving permission to access my SIM.
After that my phone always entered in remote SIM mode with the kit.
Today I remade the pairing and when my phone asked to enable access to the kit for my SIM... I answered NO (and checked the box "do not ask me this again").
Now me, my phone and my car seem to be understanding each other.
Hope that this was of any help,
Andre
Hi
does anyone have the file explorer WiFi transfer working on their PACE ? I installed the apk on both my phone and the watch and watched the youtube video several times but cant get mine to connect.
I choose the "access from.." option on the watch, connected to WiFi and started the service and noted the IP address and port. I then open up the app on my phone and choose the "remote" option followed by FTP option and then add a remote location. When adding the remote location I add the IP address and port. There is a space for username and password but I don't know what to put in there ? I tried just leaving those blank and choosing anonymous but it didnt connect.
I see on the youtube video for this that the uploader already has a FTP location created with username and password populated but doesnt show how this is done.
Anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong ? Thanks
The watch needs to be awake or it shuts off the WiFi connection, you can try to do it while charging watch to keep it awake.
Note: on the other device just use the browser and ftp:// IP address : port
I was playing about with it this morning and found the issue. I was using the default port of 4045 on the file manager on the watch which is blocked. Tried to use Chrome browser to access and was given ERR_UNSAFE_PORT message. Changed the port to 2000 and all worked OK.
Would be great now if a new feature was put out in next release to allow for either increase in lock time or enable/disable function
Hello, I just tried to install this free app Wifi File Transfer apk from https://apkpure.com/wifi-file-transfer/com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer and it's working really great!
I used adb to install it.
Once installed click on it to launch it, it is true that the screen is small but you can navigate by dragging up with the finger, the upper part of the app to "start" button then click on it. Then a message appears to check that everything works, click on the "V" green then a "stop" button appears, drag with your finger without clicking on "stop" the upper part, the link appears which can be used to connect by an internet browser (any of them)
Click on "Stop" to stop the app.
Pros: you can access all the files of your watch and for example transfer themes directly into your watch without having to connect it to your computer. Another advantage, you can use any computer or device with web browser connected to the same wifi as the watch. So it will work with your smartphone too.
Cons: do not stay too long connected because your battery will not like too much ...
Hello, I am trying the wifi file transfer, but when I try to start it, it says "wifi not connected". I go to watch settings to connect the wifi, but when I come back to application, it says again wifi not connected.
Any idea?

Try this File Manager:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager
I downloaded it to my phone then exported the app and side loaded to the watch. It works pretty well, it has a button to activate WiFi (no need to go to watch settings). It creates an FTP server on watch you can connect from anywhere in the same WiFi network, even the same app on phone will work. When creating the FTP connection, choose any user name but leave password blank. You may need to activate the useful PaceOn app so the watch won't go to sleep (it closes the WiFi connection). Good luck.

Delete files on the watch? You don't need FTP, you can do it using the file manager itself. As a Plus, you can also uninstall side loaded apps too. Cheers

Has anyone got the WiFi transfer "pro" version working. Today I installed the free ver which worked fine but has size limitations. I decided to buy the "pro" version but it wont install on the amazfit. Strange as free & pro ver's were same.
Did you try to uninstall the free version before you installed the pro version?
