Hey Guys

Wondering if anyone can help. Ive been getting frustrated with not being able to find an app that allows me to view my android phone on my desktop PC remotely, I can find apps that do the reverse to remote control the pc.

I Have always used Sony/nokia phones and the software with he phone has allowed you to access the phone while working at your PC

the benefit of this being you'd get texts etc, popping up on thr pc and you could type a reply


does an app like this even exist

http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier - Notifies you of events on your phone such as incoming phonecalls, txt's, battery state & certain apps can also take advantage.

 

The other option is to install a VNC Server on your phone - http://www.taranfx.com/remotely-control-android-phone-vnc-server

Btw, welcome to Geekzone. To prevent anyone from killing you it's best to refrain from "SHOUTING" anywhere.

ddms in the Android SDK lets you do this. USB connection usually required.
