Use your Android device as a wireless mouse & keyboard

7 March 2013

An Android app called RemoteDroid, allows Android smartphones to become wireless computer touch pads and keyboards.


SETUP

System Setup

RemoteDroid requires a client application to be installed on your Android phone and the server to be application installed on your computer. In order to use RemoteDroid, you'll need to make sure Java is installed on your computer. You'll also need a Wi-Fi network. Once these two requirements have been met, you're ready to install RemoteDroid.

Step 1:
Download the server application from http://www.remotedroid.net/RemoteDroidServer_v1.5.zip.

Step 2:

Extract the files from RemoteDroidServer_v1.5.zip to a folder and double-click on the file,RemoteDroidServer.jar. This will launch the server software. Since it’s a Java app, it will run on Windows, OS X, and Linux. Make a note of the IP address that the app lists.

Step 3: 

Make a note of the IP address mentioned in the RemoteDroid software.

Mobile Setup

Setting up the RemoteDroid server on your Android Mobile :-

Step 1:

Click here to download the RemoteDroid app from the Google Play Store. It is free of cost.

Step 2:

Once the client app on your Android device connects to the server app on your computer, the screen on your Android device will change to a touch-pad layout. The large rectangle at the top is the mousing surface and the two smaller rectangles at the bottom are the left and right mouse buttons. The green keyboard icon activates the keyboard.

You can access mouse sensitivity and other preferences by pressing the Menu Key at the RemoteDroid screen before connecting. The trackball preference only applies if you happen to have a device with a trackball. Also, in case you're wondering, multitouch scrolling is supported. Drag two fingers on the mousing surface to scroll.

That's it.Now you've got a remote control for your computer--perfect for controlling a media center PC!Go ahead and make the most of your Android device!

Cool Facebook Status Tips and Tricks

 HOW TO: Hide Status Updates From Certain People

Using Facebook's general privacy settings (find these by hitting "account" on the top right of a Facebook page) you can select whether everyone, just friends or friends of friends can see your status updates. However, there is a way to narrow those options down even further.

You can select specific friend lists to see your status (relevant for work, special interest groups, etc.) or even individual people by name, which is useful for anyone organizing a surprise party.

To take advantage of these options, click the padlock icon just below your "what's on your mind" box on your wall and a drop down menu should appear. Selecting "customize" will bring up more options such as "make this visible to" and "hide from" with the option to make your selection a default.

 HOW TO: Pre-Schedule Status Updates

While SocialOomph, Sendible and HootSuite offer the same kind of service, the simplest way to schedule Facebook status updates is by using the easy, free Later Bro service.

Just sign in with Facebook Connect, select your time zone, type in what it is you'd like to say, set the calendar and clock to when you'd like to say it, and presto!

 HOW TO: Play a Trick On Your Friends in Your Status Update

We have a funny one to end on -- a way to play an amusing trick on your Facebook buddies.

This clever link "http://facebook.com/profile.php?=73322363" looks like it could be a URL for anyone's Facebook profile, actually takes anyone logged into Facebook to their own profile page.

If you try it out, be sure to remove the link preview that Facebook auto-ads. Have fun, and don't be too mean...

HOW TO: See Your Status Update Stats

Have you ever wondered how many times you have updated your status on Facebook? The Facebook app Status Statistics, can tell you this and more.

The app analyzes your updates and gives you a tidy list of how many you've written, the average word count and how many times a day you post. In addition, it generates a graph that shows you what time of day or what days of the week you normally update.

Old statuses are also searchable via the app, so you can find that witty retort you made back in November 2009 without having to scroll back through your history.

HOW TO: Have Fun With Facebook's Humorous Language Options

While you can always change your setting into more sensible alternative languages, the site offers a couple of fun linguistic Easter eggs.

You can chose to have Facebook display upside down English, or, for anyone feeling a little salty, in "pirate." Pirate essentially turns your status into your "plank," your attachments into "loot" and instead of "share" it offers the option to "blabber t' yer mates."

Sadly, anything you type in the status bar won't be upside down, or pirate-y. But with the use of some external sites you can achieve the same effect.

 HOW TO: Add Symbols to Your Facebook Status

Although there are plenty of emoticons that work with Facebook Chat, typing ":)" into Facebook's status bar will not magically transform into a smiley yellow face. In fact, the only symbol you can create in a Facebook status update through the shortcut keys is a ♥, by typing "While this won't bother many Facebook users, others more used to punctuating their missives can copy and paste web-happy, universal symbols into the box, as you can see in the screengrab above.

PC users can also access some symbols by hitting "alt" + various number combinations (on a numerical keypad). So, while smileys are yet to hit Facebook statuses, you can annoy or amuse your buddies with symbols right now.
