How to enable remote control for Android. Download a proven program for managing and synchronizing Android with a computer

In the February issue of the magazine, I described how to get the most out of voice control of your phone. But when you are at the computer all day, and not alone, or the environment is too noisy, then it is not entirely convenient to command out loud, and sometimes you can cause the disapproval of others. So today we’ll talk about how to control your phone/tablet without leaving your computer.

To control a smartphone from a computer, in the modern world you don’t need anything other than the smartphone itself, a Wi-Fi connection and a couple of tens of megabytes of paid Internet traffic to download and install the necessary utilities. The only question is which software to use and which solutions are right for you. In this article I will talk about several applications for smart management, touching not only on “regular software”, but also on ADB-based solutions.

INFO

Manipulations with devices, traditionally for my articles, are carried out on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013, so the methods on other smartphones may differ. In this regard, proprietary utilities from device manufacturers will not be mentioned in order to describe universal management methods.

Solutions out of the box

On the device itself, you can view the entire history of received files, pictures and text from the clipboard. For the particularly paranoid, all messages can be encrypted. Watch the video of the application in action on the author’s channel. The trial period is 30 days, after which a one-time activation of the full version will cost $4.

Almost all major manufacturers of smartphones and tablets with the Android operating system offer users software that allows them to be controlled from a computer. Samsung Kies, LG, PC Suite, HTC Sync programs are very good, but they have one important drawback - they all work with devices from only one manufacturer. If the user has several Android devices of different brands, he has to work with several programs, and this is not always convenient.

Fortunately, there are many universal programs for managing Android gadgets. They recognize almost any Android device, make it possible to work with several devices simultaneously, and are often more functional than branded utilities. One such program is the phone manager for Windows "MyPhoneExplorer".

Installing and configuring MyPhoneExplorer

To start using the application, you need to download and install the client for your computer from the official website, as well as install the Android application from the Play Market.

You can connect to your computer using a USB cable, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Attention! The ability to broadcast your phone screen is only available when connected with a USB cable.

Connection via USB cable

Make sure that your phone's debugging interface drivers are installed (ADB drivers are usually installed during the installation of your phone's proprietary software, but can be found on the Internet separately for a specific model).

Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging for Android 2+ or Settings > Developer > USB Debugging for Android 4+).

In Android 4.2.2 and later, you need to first unlock the USB debugging option (Settings > About phone > Build number > tap 7 times).

Connect your phone to your laptop with a cable and launch the MyPhoneExplorer PC client application. Click "File > Settings" and in the "Connection via..." group, set the switch to the "USB cable" position and click on the "OK" button.

In the main MyPhoneExplorer window, click File > Connection.

Wi-Fi connection

Make sure your phone's Wi-Fi is turned on and your computer and phone are connected to the same network (router). Launch "MyPhoneExplorer Client" on your phone. It is advisable to set up a WiFi PIN code to protect against unauthorized access (works with MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.1 and higher).

Launch the PC client application. Make sure MyPhoneExplorer is not blocked by Windows Firewall. Click "File > Settings" and in the "Connection via..." group, set the switch to the "Wi-Fi" position and click the "OK" button.

In the main MyPhoneExplorer window, click File > Connection.

Bluetooth connection

Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on on your phone, and that your phone is paired with your PC. Before you pair, set up your phone's Bluetooth so that your phone is discoverable. When setting up pairing using the proprietary utility of your Bluetooth adapter, if it provides manual configuration, select the “MyPhoneExplorer” service.

After pairing, find out the COM port number through which the phone is connected to the laptop.

In the "MyPhoneExplorer" settings, select "Bluetooth" and specify the COM port number provided by your Bluetooth adapter utility. Click on the "OK" button.

In the main MyPhoneExplorer window, click File > Connection.

Cast your phone screen to your computer

Once the connection is established, you can synchronize the contents of your device with your computer. To display your phone screen on your computer, click: "Miscellaneous > Phone Keyboard/Upload Screenshot".

A window with a mobile phone screen will open. If the phone screen doesn't appear, try this. Activate the "Update automatically" checkbox so that everything that happens on the phone screen is automatically displayed on the computer.

The funny option “Show mouse cursor on phone” shows the computer mouse cursor directly on the phone screen, although its transfer to the computer is suspended...

If you don't use your phone for several minutes and it falls asleep, you can wake it up with the "Wake up device" button (green button at the top of the window).

The buttons at the bottom of the window duplicate the phone's system buttons: "Menu", "Home" and "Back".

Working with a mouse (instead of a finger) on the phone

Finger touch (Tap) – Click with the left mouse button;

Sliding your finger along the glass – Hold down the left mouse button, move the cursor in the desired direction, release the key;

Long tap - Hold down the left mouse button for a second.

Other features of MyPhoneExplorer

In the program interface, all basic smartphone data is available for viewing and editing. Using the built-in file manager, you can view all files and perform basic operations with them (copying, moving, deleting, creating folders). It is possible to view files both on the memory card and on the internal memory of the device

You can also view a list of available applications, get information about the installation date and the size of the application. Options for exporting and installing applications are available.

Contacts and SMS messages

Using "MyPhoneExplorer" you can add/delete contacts and even make a call directly from the program. In addition, synchronization, import and export of contacts are implemented. To display calls, there is a section in which outgoing, received and missed calls are shown separately. Text messages are divided into sent, forwarded, draft and saved. Using "MyPhoneExplorer" you can create an archive of SMS messages and save them to your computer.

Organizer

The calendar has a convenient interface: from “MyPhoneExplorer” you can add new events, notes, and set reminders (their list is shown in a separate section). The Android app has widgets that allow you to display these notes on your phone's home screen.

Phone information

MyPhoneExplorer is also an information utility. In it you can view information about the smartphone model, processor, firmware, battery charge level, temperature, voltage (see the first picture of the article), as well as the amount of free and used memory.

If for some reason your smartphone is far from you, and you urgently need to get some information from it (contacts, files), application developers have taken care of your peace of mind. All you need to do is install the necessary software on your device and PC, and you can connect to your phone remotely.

If you are afraid of losing data from your smartphone or, on the contrary, you need to delete all information, just synchronize your phone with your computer. Then all contacts, SMS and files are saved on your PC.

The ability to interact with a phone when it is not nearby, for example, using a computer or tablet, is of interest to many Android owners. Remote control is a great way to perform necessary actions on your smartphone, view or delete files, download information and, most importantly, do all this from a distance. This function also helps if the phone has been lost or stolen, since it can be used to lock the mobile device or erase all confidential data from it.

Why do you need remote control?

Remote control of an Android phone can be done using several simple methods, which are described in detail in this article. The ability to interact with your gadget is quite useful and in demand, since situations when a person forgets his phone somewhere and cannot look up the necessary information in it do not happen as rarely as we would like.

For example, a user went to a business meeting, taking documents and a laptop with him. During the conversation, he needed to look at the recordings on his phone, but his mobile phone was left at home. Previously, this embarrassment could have ended with a trip home or rescheduling the meeting for another time, but now, in order to view files on a mobile device, it is not even necessary to hold it in your hands.

Remote control methods

There is one simple solution that can save an Android user in such a situation - remote control. Often, its use does not even require downloading third-party applications, since this function is now built into almost every smartphone when it is assembled. For example, on most new Android devices, remote control is carried out using Google services. To do this, the main thing is to have a registered account and access to a PC.

However, Google's Android remote control is limited in functionality and sometimes requires downloading additional apps to take advantage of more advanced features. The most popular of them are worth considering in detail.

Team Viewer

Team Viewer is a convenient and easy-to-use utility that allows you to remotely access any device, be it a PC or an Android smartphone. Remote control using it is carried out in the following way:

• the program is downloaded and installed on both devices – mobile phone and PC;
• after downloading to your smartphone, the application will issue a nine-digit code that can be sent by mail or shared in instant messengers;
• when installation on the PC is completed, the program will ask for an ID number, which is 9 digits generated by the mobile version of Team Viewer;

When confirmation is received from the smartphone, it will be possible to integrate files, view records, data about the device, and applications installed on it.

However, the most useful feature of Team Viewer is remote control of your Android smartphone. By selecting the appropriate item in the application menu, the user gains access to the desktop of the mobile device. Thus, all icons, settings, contacts, calls, messages, media files, and so on will be displayed on the screen of his PC.

Airdroid

Airdroid is another convenient free application that allows you to remotely control Android if you have an account of the same name. You can also log into the program by scanning the QR code that appears when you launch the desktop version of Airdroid. However, the first method is still the fastest, so it’s worth considering it in more detail.

First of all, the application user will need to go through a simple registration on the official website of the Airdroid developers. To do this, you will need to provide a current email address and password, or authorize using the button of any social network.

After this, you need to download the Airdroid application to your smartphone and log in using the same data. By doing this, the PC user will have extensive access to many features of the Android phone. Remote control will allow him to view and change profiles in the contact book, write messages or make calls, listen to music, watch photos and videos by clicking on the appropriate icons.

Using the Airdroid web interface, you can also determine the location of the phone and even take a photo or video remotely. However, it is worth noting that you can only access the smartphone’s desktop by downloading the additional AirMirrow plugin. It will allow you to see everything that is happening on the phone and manage the necessary processes.

Mobizen Mirroring

Mobizen Mirroring is a powerful program that can remotely control Android in a similar way. The software is downloaded to a smartphone and a PC, registration is carried out, after which it becomes possible to transfer data between two devices.

However, this application has its drawbacks. Unlike the analogues presented above, Mobizen Mirroring is paid. In order to gain access to the program's advanced functionality, you will need to purchase an annual subscription costing $48.

You can also use the free version, which has a set of limited options. It is also worth noting that in this case you will have to connect via a USB cable, which is not always convenient or feasible.

Splashtop 2

A notable feature of the Splashtop 2 utility is its speed and simple interface, which distinguishes it from some competitors. However, speaking about it, it is worth mentioning some significant disadvantages. The most significant limitation is that connecting a smartphone to a PC will require a local network.

That is why the application is most popular at home. For example, for watching movies or TV shows while cooking in the kitchen. To use more advanced functionality and the ability to connect via 3G Internet, you will need to purchase a paid version of the utility.

MightyText

The main purpose of the MightyText program is to type text messages via a computer. With its interface and operating technology, the application resembles the Airdroid platform, however, unlike it, MightyText is designed specifically for typing. Conveniently, the web version of the utility can display many dialogs at once, and this allows you to effectively correspond with several people at once, avoiding the need to switch between windows.

In addition, in the application you can configure the sending of notifications about incoming calls and other events on the phone, enable the display of battery charge level and RAM status. It is worth noting that sending SMS via computer is paid. The cost of one message is estimated according to the tariff of the mobile operator.

It often happens that a person needs to get remote control via Android to a computer. This seemingly impossible task is easily accomplished using the same applications that need to be downloaded and installed on both devices. The most popular of them - Team Viewer and Splashtop 2 - not only provide remote control of Android from a computer, but also do the opposite. However, there are other programs that deserve attention due to their simplicity and effectiveness.

PocketCloud

PocketCloud is good because it has several remote control modes - RDP, VNC and Auto Discovery. RDR is a remote desktop protocol, VNC allows you to relay your screen via a network connection, and the latter mode allows you to connect using a Google account.

The PocketCloud user gets access to any program installed on the computer. Using the application, you can uninterruptedly stream what is happening on your PC to the screen of your mobile device. For stable operation, it is recommended to connect through a Google account.

Microsoft Remote Desktop

The Microsoft Remote Desktop application, produced by Microsoft Corporation, appeared on the market relatively recently, but very quickly managed to gain the trust of millions of users. Conveniently, to remotely control a computer using this program, you don’t even need to install third-party software. However, you still have to do a few simple steps in the system settings.

To start remote control, you will need to go to the “Control Panel” section, select the “System” menu and the “Remote Access Settings” item. In the window that opens, you need to give permission to connect to the computer and save the settings. It is worth noting that before you begin to remotely control your PC, you will need to run the built-in Windows firewall, since without it the computer will reject the request.

If all conditions are met, then using the Microsoft Remote mobile application, using the user’s system data, you can easily access your personal computer without any additional actions. You can obtain a password or create it yourself in the “User Accounts” menu. Its presence is mandatory.

A distinctive feature of the program is that with its help you can not only manage your PC yourself via a mobile device, but also provide viewing/editing access to other users. To do this, you need to go to the “Select users” menu and add the necessary people to the list.

A modern person uses not only a computer or laptop to access the Internet - he has a smartphone in his arsenal, and often also a tablet. The more electronic devices there are, the more difficult it is to manage both them and the files stored in the memory of these gadgets, photos and music collections. Cloud services do not always help bring order to this electronic diversity - many are familiar with the situation when at some point a lot of unsorted photos are found on a smartphone, and a large number of different e-books and notes on a tablet.

Surely many users have encountered the need to open a photo from a smartphone on a large computer screen or to sort out notes that were taken on a tablet during a business meeting. Everyone is trying their best to solve this problem - e-mail, cloud file storage services, data exchange via Bluetooth are used.

This and a number of other problems can be solved using special tools for remote control of a mobile device. Such applications are also called Android Smartphone Manager or Android PC Suite. They allow you to connect your computer to your mobile device via cable or wireless connection. After this, you can see the contents of your Android device on the computer screen - files, photos, installed applications, SMS and even phone calls. Some applications of this type, when connected, allow you to create a backup copy of the contents of your mobile device on your computer and, if necessary, restore it. Individual applications such as Android Smartphone Manager can send SMS from a computer via a mobile device, delete installed applications, and organize files.

⇡ AirDroid

For this remote control manager to work, you need to install the application on both your computer and your Android mobile device - tablet or smartphone. To start working, you just need to enter your access data on your computer and smartphone - login and password. Let us immediately note that for AirDroid to work fully, Root rights are required, and this is for inexperienced users ( or in the case of some smartphones, where such rights are simply impossible to obtain. — approx. ed. ) can be a problem.

Once launched and connected, the AirDroid icon will be placed in the system tray. The icon will allow, say, to mute the sound on a smartphone remotely - this is relevant, for example, at the workplace, so as not to disturb colleagues, or at home when a child is sleeping. Using the same icon, you can see notifications coming to your smartphone or tablet, such as SMS, incoming calls or notifications from applications. Thanks to this feature, when you receive an SMS, you don’t have to look for your phone - you can read the message on the screen and even reply to it. Additionally, these notifications are available in the Notification section of the main AirDroid window. In the SMS section you can access all text messages, and in the Call History section you can access your call history.

Another handy feature of AirDroid is phone search. The application allows you to remotely launch a sound notification for your smartphone and find it by sound. The special AirMirror mode of the AirDroid client application allows you to display the smartphone screen on your computer and perform almost all operations on it - launch applications, delete files. In this way, you can fully control your Android device remotely without physically connecting it using wires.

One of the most convenient operations implemented by the AirDroid application is sharing files between devices. You can copy any document from your computer to your phone or tablet - an e-book, a text file or a movie. In a similar way, you can copy a file from your smartphone to your PC.

In this case, files are exchanged directly, without intermediate tools in the form of cloud file storage or email. Everything happens in the window of a mobile or desktop client - you just need to select a file on your PC or mobile device and click the "Send" button, after which it will appear on the other device. The copied file can be viewed in the AirDroid window, saved to disk, or sent by email. Free AirDroid allows you to transfer relatively small files - up to 30 MB.

AirDroid can also be used as a file distribution tool for other users. This is what AirDroid web storage is designed for. To receive the file, you also need to install the AirDroid application on your device. To share files for free, AirDroid allocates 200 MB of disk space. New AirDroid users receive a bonus for 14 days - unlimited cloud storage and the ability to publish files up to 200 MB in size. You can get such a bonus by talking about the AirDroid application on one of the social networks - Twitter, Facebook or Google+.

The AirDroid mobile application is designed not only for exchanging files - it has a built-in file manager and a tool for quickly cleaning the RAM of a mobile device. AirDroid also allows you to view applications installed on your smartphone or tablet. Another useful feature is the ability to quickly turn a mobile gadget into an access point and distribute the Internet using it.

⇡ MobileGo

This remote connection application allows you to connect your device to your computer if the application is installed and running on your PC, smartphone or tablet. Devices can be connected via Wi-Fi or cable. In the first case, before installing the application, you will need to scan the QR code on your computer, after which the program will be installed on your mobile device and launched with the necessary parameters.

When you connect a mobile device via cable, the MobileGo application will recognize this connection and will start in connection mode with the mobile device. Simultaneously, with each application launch, the data on the mobile device and on the computer will be synchronized in the background. Subsequently, the backup copy created in this way can be deployed to a mobile device. Another useful feature of MobileGo is the conversion of video files for viewing on an Android device. The desktop client also supports SMS sending.

The MobileGo app allows you to manage your contacts, media files, SMS messages and applications. All this data is presented in separate sections of the MobileGo window. In the application, you can view applications installed on your mobile device, a list of contacts, and multimedia files (music, photos, videos). Using the desktop client, you can delete these files, place them in other folders, transfer them from a mobile device to a computer, and for applications it is also possible to move them from the device’s internal memory to an external memory card and vice versa.

The program does not require Root access for its operation, but for some operations it is still needed. The MobileGo desktop client allows you to enable Root rights in one click. The mobile application partially repeats some of the functions of the PC client, in particular, moving files to a memory card and uninstalling installed applications. In the PC client there is a special Downloads section, with which in the program window you can search and download to your mobile device both applications from the Google Play online store and mp3 files or videos from YouTube.

The program offers convenient functions for copying files to a mobile device. After installing the MobileGo client, an application icon will be placed on the screen - to copy files, just drag them onto this icon. The file copied in this way will appear in the mobile client window, in the “File Transfer” section, from where it can be downloaded to the device in a specific folder.

⇡ Apowersoft Phone Manager

The authors of this application took special care in the authorization procedure and organization of wireless communication between devices. Immediately after launching the mobile client, you need to scan the QR code displayed in the window of the Apowersoft Phone Manager desktop application. After scanning and recognizing the code, the application reads the contents of the mobile device and displays it in the Apowersoft Phone Manager PC client window.

In terms of interface and general principles of operation, Apowersoft Phone Manager differs little from other applications of this type. The Apowersoft Phone Manager client window has sections for viewing photos, music and video files, a contact list, SMS, applications, just files saved on a mobile device, and text notes. But the most interesting section is Books. In it, you can display all e-books saved on your mobile device on your computer screen. In this case, the client application itself will scan the contents of the gadget’s memory and display books on the computer screen, grouped by their file formats. And most importantly, these books can be read on the computer screen (if the computer has an application that can open these files). Apowersoft Phone Manager considers files in .DOC, .XLS, .MOBI, .RTF, .EPUB, .PDF, .HTML, .TXT formats as electronic books.

The application allows you to create a backup copy of all your smartphone data and restore it from this copy. The Files module displays the structure of the mobile device's file system in a convenient tree view, reminiscent of Windows Explorer.

Apowersoft Phone Manager has several useful online applications, including a video and audio converter, a file download module, and a module for recording the contents of the screen of a mobile gadget. They can run as web services - or they can be downloaded to your computer and run as additional applications for Apowersoft Phone Manager.

When you connect an Android gadget via USB, you can display the screen of the mobile device in the client module window.

⇡ TeamViewer QuickSupport

TeamViewer is one of the most popular applications for remote computer control using mobile devices. To perform the opposite action - control an Android gadget via a computer, you need to install the additional TeamViewer QuickSupport application on your mobile device. Authorization on both devices is carried out after entering your login and password, and to establish a connection you will also need to enter the device number (you can see it in the settings section of the mobile application).

After establishing a connection between your computer and your Android gadget, you can use the application to view information about your mobile device (the “Toolbar” section is for this purpose). Here you can see data on the memory capacity of the device and external storage (SD card), device data (manufacturer, model, serial number), its screen resolution, operating system version.

The TeamViewer application on your computer allows you to send messages as well as any files to your mobile device. When sending files, the file structure of the mobile device and the computer itself will be presented on the computer screen. You just need to select a file or several files on your computer and indicate which folder they will be copied to on your mobile device. Note that this is the only application reviewed that allows you to specify a folder on the recipient device.

The Applications section displays the software installed on the mobile device. And the “Screenshot” section allows you to request sending a screen copy from a mobile gadget to a computer.

⇡ Mobiledit

This application for remote control of an Android mobile device allows you to connect devices via cable or Wi-Fi. Mobiledit is the only application reviewed in this review that allows you to connect your mobile device to your computer in step-by-step wizard mode.

The program is easy to use and quite functional, but it has one important limitation - it can only be used for free to read the contents of a smartphone. But to record something on a smartphone, you definitely need to buy a license.

After the connection has been established, on the computer screen in the corresponding sections (Phonebook, Messages, Applications, Call log, etc.) you can see data from the mobile device - a list of contacts, messages, installed applications and even a calendar, which is especially convenient for busy a person planning his day. Moreover, the calendar can be updated from a computer - and all changes will appear on your smartphone or tablet.

The disadvantage of Mobiledit is that it takes a relatively long time to read the contents of each section, and this reading starts every time you view a section of the smartphone.

In the application window, you can make a backup copy of a particular section of your smartphone, including the list of installed applications. In addition, among the Mobiledit utilities, it is possible to copy the contents of the smartphone into a separate file, and if desired, you can create a copy of data of a certain type, for example, only the contact list or only messages. A few more useful modules available in Mobiledit are a ringtone editor, as well as photo and video editors.

Mobiledit allows you to connect a cloud account and store data from your smartphone on it.

⇡ MoboRobo

MoboRobo for Android devices, after installation on a mobile device and on a computer, allows you to synchronize all the data on your device - after the connection is established, the phone book, SMS, call information, multimedia files and applications are copied to the computer. This backup can be deployed to a connected device at any time. The program can recognize a cable connection and immediately prompts you to launch it by establishing a connection with the connected device.

Contacts can be exported to a mobile device using MoboRobo from a .VCF file. In addition, you can import contacts into a separate file. The application supports functions for editing contact information.

MoboRobo allows you to work with multimedia content; separate tabs have been created for it in the application window. On these tabs you can view files on your mobile device, save them to your computer, and organize them.

MoboRobo has its own mobile application store. However, a huge drawback is the fact that the application for working with this store is installed on the mobile device in the background after the first launch of the MoboRobo mobile client.

After installing MoboRobo, the Moboportal icon will appear on your computer screen, designed to manage file copying. Simply drag a file from your computer to this icon and the file will be copied to your mobile device. In addition, you can copy files through the desktop client interface.

⇡ Conclusion

Applications for managing mobile devices allow you to forget about the problem of exchanging data between your smartphone and your computer. In addition, if you have a remote control tool for your Android gadget installed, you don't need to rush to your phone if you hear the sound of an incoming SMS. And the functions of creating backup copies of a mobile device eliminate the problem of data loss.
