How to manage Android-phone from a computer?

Периодически может возникнуть желание сделать something with your phone on the "Android", and with both entertainment and pragmatic purpose. Whatever it was, but there are quite a few possibilities to control the Android-phone from a computer. We will talk about them.

What do manufacturers offer?

Virtually all more or less large companieswhich produce smartphones and tablets with Android operating systems, offer their users special software that can be used to control devices from a computer. They have to admit, quite good ones. But still they have a drawback - focusing exclusively on devices from the same manufacturer. Therefore, if you have a collection of smartphones and tablets from different manufacturers, you may need to run several applications at the same time to work with them. And this, you see, is inconvenient.

Universal programs

And here come the multi-purposedevelopment, which are primarily oriented to the operating system. They can manage their computer from an Android phone via WiFi, USB, mobile network, bluetooth and some other options, and also work in reverse mode. Since the first two sources of communication are most convenient, interaction with them will be considered within the framework of the article. It is worth noting that universal programs are not only enough to enable working with several devices at the same time, as they also often boast more functionality than proprietary applications.

MyPhoneExplorer

To use this application, you need to download your client for the computer, and for the phone to install it through the Play Store. It supports three connection methods:

1. USB.
2. Wi-Fi.
3. Bluetooth.

It is even possible to broadcast from the screenphone in real time, but so far this is provided solely when using USB. As the most functional option, we consider it. So, initially you need to make sure that there are all the drivers responsible for working through the interface. Also make sure that USB debugging is enabled. Connect devices with a cable. Then run the client installed on the personal computer or laptop. In it, go to the path "File" - "Settings" and in the "Connection via ..." select this type of connection. Then, the Android phone is controlled from a computer via USB. You can drag files or work as with a smartphone, but instead of a finger there will be a mouse.

Remote control of your Android phone withcomputer is via Wi-Fi. To do this, the network itself must be present, and all devices must be connected to it. It is also advisable to set a security password. First, the client starts on the phone, and only then the one on the computer.

And finally, about the work via Bluetooth.Initially, you must configure the phone so that it can be detected. To do this, use the proprietary driver. Then you need to find out the COM port number, thanks to which it connects to computer equipment, and specify it in the client settings. As you can see, it’s not so difficult to manage a phone through a computer. Android provides quite ample opportunities for development, which did not fail to take advantage of various companies that create software for mobile devices. Other programs operate according to similar principles, therefore less will be discussed about them, we will only touch on the functionality.
