[Q] Share screen remotely - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys
I'm giving the Galaxy Tab to an elder and may need to perform some maintenance or help out over the phone. I'd like to see what's on their screen (the Galaxy will always be connected via Wifi) - similar to how I can RDP into a Windows computer.
Is this possible to do with an app?

Search the market, as there are a few rdt and vnc apps.

[Q] and maybe [REQ] : use phone to launch apps on Windows PC through WiFi

Hey all,
So basically what I want to do is have shortcuts on my phone that launch a specific app on my windows pc.
Since without some background info this might sound malicious, here's the case in point:
I want a shortcut to launch XBMC on my htpc. XBMC already have an awesome remote app for android which includes WOL, so I can already turn on my pc with my phone and use my phone as remote once XBMC is launched, however, I don't have a way of launching it through my phone.
I'd want a more elegant/direct solution than having to use vnc. I cannot set XBMC to autolaunch at startup on my pc because it's a shared pc in my home and not everyone uses it as an htpc, it's also a gaming box.
Any ideas? I'd imagine using an android phone to run a script on a PC or launch an app wouldn't be too complicated, but I'm no developer so I pose my question to all the gurus out there!
Thanks a lot!
SSL shell script would be your best bet.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I actually kept on looking and found some like minded peeps on the xbmc's forum, and user grajen3 made a launcher for it specifically.
Here's the link to the thread in case anyone else here ever wants to launch xbmc from the phone: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=78167&highlight=android

[Q] Apps for VNC and Myphoneexploerer Alternative

Hey,
i´m currently wondering if i should go for the Lumia 920 or the Note 2.
There is the everlasting app question that´s holding me back, so, if anybody could give me a headsup if the following is available ...well, it would be nice:
1. An app/tool like myphonexplorer (http://www.fjsoft.at) to a) write sms on pc b) backup these c) sync
2. is there a vnc server available (did not find anything) for winphone? or is this possible with winphone8?
3. I´m aware that there´s no real notification center - but what if you have a news app installed (say cnn for example) and some breaking news is coming in. is there something like a popup on ios/iphone?
thanks in advance
1.) There is no local sync functionality with Windows Phone. All PIM data has to go through ExchangeActiveSync which means GMail/Outlook.com or another MailServer like Exchange. SMS can be backed up to the Cloud although there is no export functionality (Apps can't access a users SMS in WP8).
2.) There is no VNC server as Apps can't access other Apps visual state. I don't know why you would need a server on the phone anyway. Looking through the Marketplace brings up several VNC Clients, I didn't test any of them though.
3.) There are Toast-notifications that pop down from the top of the screen. Those are displayed for a set amount of time (some seconds) and then vanish (or you can swipe them away to make them disappear before that or tap on them to be taken to the App). Aside from that there are tile-notifications that display info on the Live Tiles. Which of those features an App uses and how information is displayed on the tile is up to the App's developer.
Thanks for your answers, which lead me to one more question:
Is it safe to assume that (sadly) such a tool like Airdroid (http://airdroid.com/) will never see the light of the day on wp8?
I´m asking all this because i don´t always have my phone in my hands and accessing most of it functions via a browser was a *huge* plus in the past for me (especially with the mentioned aidroid).
With the current official APIs it's not possible. Perhaps someone could hack something like this in the future but as always I would not count on this. It didn't happen for WP7 for sure.
So in the end I guess that's a no.

What is the best app for Note 9 to Windows 10 PC connectivity? MS Your Phone, AirDrd?

What is the best app for Android to Windows 10 PC connectivity? MS Your Phone, AirDroid?
The features of Your Phone or AirDroid look fine but are there more robust ways to connect and work with my phone during the business day?
Are any of the TeamViewer products good at this?
Samsung Sidesync used to be good but the new version is very stripped down.
Have now switched to Dell Mobile Connect. Works very well, and has all features - notifications, mirroring, calling and texting, document drag and drop.

samsung flow works good between my S3 tab, SB2 and GN9. give that a try.
Dell mobile connect is great. Phone companion is great as well.
You could also have a look at vysor.. works over wifi aswell as wired
But pro version needed for all features
I'm looking for a good PC <-> Android Sharing app too (mostly for sharing link, text, files etc) . I used to use Pushbullet but ever since they went "Pro" the free version is useless.
Try Your Phone Connection by Microsoft if you have a Windows PC
Vysor seems really cool, especially if can do over wifi
Is it the best of that type (literally an emulator of your phone in a window)?
Android File Transfer?
Simple & reliable.....
WiFi File transfer Pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro&hl=pl easy to use and i have this for long time now.
I Found an app called "Join" (by Joaoapps the Tasker app developer). So far seems very good...
Can I make calls with Note 9 and Your phone on Windows 10 with bluetooth dongle?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My Phone Explorer is the best I've found

I have an Airdroid subscription, but lately I use Join.
I havent seen any better app than KDE connect/GSConnect
I started using File Manager by Mobile Clean System Lab. I feel like I get a lot of ads on it, but I just BACK out of those.
With it, there's an option to start a FTP server, which I do. Prior to this, you have to have your Wi-Fi turned on, and connected to the same network as your Windows 10 PC. Then, on your Windows 10 PC, you navigate to your phone's IP address (preceded with "ftp://") to view your phone's folders (i.e. ftp://192.168.1.23:2211, where 2211 is the default port number). I still haven't figured out how to navigate to the MicroSD Card, and I'm not sure there is a way without root. Basically, though, you would use Windows Explorer to navigate to this window, and then open up another instance of Windows Explorer to Copy To/From files.
Mind you, this solution works for me, from home. Not sure how it would function within a business environment, considering you'd have less control over port access/firewall settings.

Newbie looking for Samsung4 Smartwatch Apps

I just received a Samsung4 smartwatch and am looking for more apps not available on Google Play! Primarily Social Media apps and Facebook Messenger. LOL. That's where I chat from and those contacts are not in the other message apps - Google Android Messages, Samsung Messages (which is best to use?) I am here to learn how to download the apps listed on this site. I have some IT experience (IT Systems Technician for 16 years/IT Systems Analyst 2 years) but haven't tinkered with a smartwatch. I did brick a phone back in the day so I'm a little scared to mess with my brand-new watch! I did install the Moviebox APK (Kpanda?) on my smartphone, but it didn't require any other software. I already opened Developer Tools - ADB - Debug over WIFI (the IP starts with 10) From what I understand, I have to make changes in Device Manager for the phone, install APK software programs to my laptop (are these free or do I have to pay for it?), download the apps I want from your catalogue and install to the watch? I will watch the videos and follow along! And there is no risk of damaging my watch, like maybe I select something wrong and wipe it out or brick it?
Unfortunately, I don't have a correct IP address - Debug over WIFI shows 10.0.0.194, therefore, I cannot proceed with downloading APKs from Uptodown from either Bugjaeger or Easy Fire Tools. I am connected to Wi-Fi and not getting a 192. IP. There is no notification request sent to a device. When I click continue it says "Authorization Failed". Is there another setting I need to change?
Update: I figured it out. My old internet provider used to begin with 192 but this one starts with 10. Then when I click on the file that I want to install I have to click a prompt on the watch to allow it. All good!
Welcome to the XDA forums! Looks like you found the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 section!
Cheers
