If like me you leave your phone in another part of the house/building or forget to take it with you, then this app is for you.
Remote phone access
Remotely Control Your Phone from Computer
RemotePhoneAccess is a reliable application providing fast and secure remote access to your Android smartphone. It uses the latest technology of google C2DM (Cloud to Device Messaging). The app doesn't poll to any server avoiding extra battery usage.
Simply install the app from the market on your phone login with your google account and activate privelidges.
From your browser on tablet/computer visit www.remotephoneaccess.com
login using same google account
goto android management
and click update.
You now have access to your phone. Pay the extra few dollars and you can also send sms using your phones plan.
Works good... I will try paid option in few days...
Nice app, now I can forget my phone athome and still be able to use it (limited, no voice, but hey, better than nothing!!!!)
Xoomed with my Motorola
Just downloaded on Photon CM9 ICS ROM, will report back after some use.
MoPhoACTV Initiative
Just so you guys think about this: privacy-wise this is a huge red flag.
Administrator rights on your phone with remote access through a web app.
The app devs don't have any kind of privacy policy posted.
C2dm if badly coded can be a privacy nightmare.
does any one knows an Android app which provides mobile to mobile remote access same like pc to pc by teamviewer?

I use DroidMote server on my Xoom and connect to it with the client. Works fine as a remote but I don't think it does remote screen access.
Search the Market for a VNC server app. I'm sure there will be one. You'd then be able to connect via any VNC client. Probably need root though.
yes, you can try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, it allows you to fully control and view your phone from a PC, so you can use external keyboard and mouse to become more productive. It works on all android devices, from Eclair to Jelly Bean, rooting is NOT required.

Anybody out there successfully doing IPsec VPN on a windows mobile device ?
I'm having a devil of a time getting anything working.
Thanks,
DLD
OK how about IPsec VPN with ANYTHING [email protected]#$?
DLD
Well, I finally got my Android Samsung Galaxy S3 (ICS) phone to connect to the Watchguard XTM 5 Firmware: 11.5.2 using IPSec. I followed the directions given by watchguard for connecting an IOS/OSX device. Then it was a matter of what VPN client to use. The default Android ICS VPN client under network settings would not work. I noticed that Samsung included a Third Party IPSec VPN client "AuthenTec VPN Client v2.5.1" (not able to find it in the Google Play store). This app did the trick with the default IPSec settings for Preshared Key IKEv1, with the Aggressive mode checked. My co-worker has the Samsung Nexus Tablet with Jellybean (4.1.1) and the native VPN tool works from that version, with default settings.
This discovery brings happiness and rejoicing to our entire IT team who all have Android phones or Tabs. I use 2X for RDP, (which works well), and "ES File Explorer" (free) for SMB file browsing. With these two tools I can do just about everything I did on my laptop. Anyone have better or more tools than these?
I have also tested IOS and Mac OSX 10.6.8 native VPN tool and they work well, as well as the original SSL client that has always worked.
WatchGuard should totally go public with this, many would benefit. It works great! (I wonder if there are some security holes that they are aware of that's preventing them from announcing Android support officially...)
can you share sir what app you used for us to use? i have and S3 also and we have a Watchguard XTM 5

The only available client that I have been able to get work is ncp vpn client with a mobile user ipsec tunnel to connect to my watchguard x515
Ran trial for a week and just pulled the trigger.. Very happy.

This app will let you control your computer through via both 3g and wifi. The companion WONT work for win 7 home which is what i have. So i have a question: Anyone know a way to make it work for win 7 home or another app that will work the same way?
LogMeIn Ignition for Android ftw.

Which is $30, whereas this looks like it's free. I'm in the process of installing the free app on the market, and the free desktop companion as well.
OP, have you tried it? Most features that work on one work on the other, so might want to give it a go at least.
1. androidVNC on captivate
2. tightvnc on all home computers
3. all computers wake on lan
4. add a dash of dropbox and some dd-wrt lock down on the side
5. enjoy complete remote access and admin
Bonus: I like that VNC has dual monitor support. Both screens show on your device with "pinch and zoom" and touch scrolling capability.
What about going the other direction?
I'd like to control the Captivate from my Windows 7 PC x64 running a VNC viewer.
What apps are the best for that?
I can't get droidVNC to work. It always rejects the correct password.
I agree with agentdr8. LogMeIn is easily the best way to go. I'd love if TeamViewer made an android app though. It seem unfair that iOS gets all the loving.

I know it has. I switched over on release day and never looked back. Very polished for a beta app.

PocketCloud does not seem to function after only two successful logins (very cool when it worked). I don't know if it is a limited demo thing or it broke (can't find any mention of limitations . . . ).
I love TeamViewer (used it to help family with computer problems before) but I can't get it to run on my Dell Streak running Froyo (always comes up ForceClose).
Will have to try VNC and see how that works for me.
Check out PDANet, especially if you're an avid texter like myself. Download the app from the app store or appbrain and get the PC client, hook your phone up via usb and connect to pdanet. Use the system tray app and right click on SMS Agent, you can now send and receive texts through your PC via your Android phone. How cool is that?
The only downfall i can see is that you're using the phone network connectivity as well as whatever else you're using. I've emailed the dev at Junefabrics for maybe implementing a SMS Agent only mode for the Android app.
Does anybody know a source for PDAnet?
ATT (my !favorite carrier --and you know what ! means) has blocked it from the market.

The company where i work does not let me sync my note to the office outlook server quoting security issues. When i asked them y, this was their reply "As for Galaxy Note, unfortunately that device does not have all the basic security requirements we would want. The most important of them is that the device does not allow a remote wipe on the device or on the SD card.
Therefore, we are unable to let it connect to our infrastructure.
. I know we have remote admin in all Samsung phones and can use it from Samsung Dive site. Is this feature different from the ones available in Iphones (my office allows iphones and BB to sync )

Tell your IT guys to get the Good application supported from the market. The ratings of it are bad in market but it works anyways. My company uses it for Android devices which are stock (non rooted). Good app allows the office data to be remote wiped and can even wipe the whole device in case it is lost.
Hope this helps!
I think Samsung Dive provides everything you could want. Alternatively install an antivirus on it - such as Lookout. The premium version will also provide full wipe and disable features.
Do your IT staff know much about Android phones?
This being an mnc they compare the phones to the us version and deny support saying that it sites not meet the required security features. This is so irritating, they won't even let us sync the mail.

If they are using Exchange server it will remote an device that connects to it. I don't know about lotus note/domino server tho. Do you know which mail server your work has?

+1 to all the above...
If they're looking for some noted security, Norton mobile (although not the highest signature detection) has full remote wiping services.

We also use the Good for enterprise application here on Android and iOS devices (around 300 of them). It works pretty well.
Android will also sync to an Exchange server via Activesync which should be an encrypted connection, and data can be remote-wiped either by an admin or by the user via OWA. They can also enforce a lock key via a certificate installation.
They are either lazy, incompetent or both. Although, Blackberries _are_ more secure than either an Android or iOS device as the Exchange support is ingrained in the OS rather than as a separate layer.
Get Touchdown from the Market. It respects the Exchange security policies in app, which is really all the Exchange admins need worry about. Upside is that if a wipe command is sent, only Touchdown gets nuked, not your whole phone.
Why the Exchange admins should care about the whole phone is beyond me. Worry about a bad guy running around with corporate data on the device.
None of them think. When i send them the details on how android is also safe they simply forward it to another person. So frustrating.
where do u work if u dont mind telling me. Because im working as Blackberry Support for few company.
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?

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.
