Dear friends, I've bought a Redmi 8 for my elderly mother, so we can do skype calls regularly. She is very clumsy and sometimes accidentally presses buttons or makes swipes, which makes apps or messages appear, and then doesn't know how to get back to the call or the homescreen.
So I would like to install a remote support app which enables me to remotely access and control her phone without her needing to confirm the connection, i.e. unattended remote support. I've tried a few, e.g. Teamviewer, AnyDesk, AirDroid, but they either don't work at all (Teamviewer) or offer access, but not unattended, or it's possible to enable the unattended feature through adb commands but only until the phone is rebooted.
Does anyone know an app that works or has a solution for this?

how can you connect to the target phone?
bluetooth, wifi, gprs
Sorry for my bad english. I am not literate and in Russian )))
Thank you for having a look. :good: The phone will have wifi connection.

No, her phone will be on WiFi but not the same network as mine. I am currently at her house but normally I live far away from her. I would like to access her phone from my Windows PC or my android phone via the Internet.

I don't know about remote control but you could have Skype as the launcher for the phone so you can simply ask her to hit the home button in order to go back to skype. You need "Target Home Launcher" in order to do that.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've read lots of threads but cannot see anything...
Is there some way of doing video over IP from the phone (wifi / 3G) to a PC?
Take it easy before you flame me, its my first post
research microsoft portrait
Thanks for that, but having tried it the forward facing camera doesn't work and the performance is pants even over a g wifi link. Am I missing something?
Not sure what you're really trying to do, but if you want to use your phone as a web cam then check out webcameraplus. Still have to connect with data cable to pc because it connects through active sync/device manager.
are you asking if you can look through your phone's camera on your PC?
eg: Your phone is connect to an online service that enables and uses your phone's camera, then you would connect to that service from your pc and see through the phone's camera.....is that what you're trying to accomplish?
It should be able to be done, I had ran across a program not too long ago that allows you to control and see whats going on your mobile, it is able to connect through active sync/Device maneger and over the internet (wifi/3G) so you should be able turn on the camera from your pc and see through the camera from your pc.....I din't remember the name of it, but its out there.

No - really simple - I am going on a trip & when I get there I want to video conferance with home where there is a PC running messenger / live
Try a program called 'live media'. I believe its what your after. Let me know if it works as i have never tried it.

I have tried using smartphonetracker, and some other gps tracking phone programs. They work great, but heres the PROBLEM:
Useless if device is in sleep mode, or if press the power OFF button.
So if it runs out of battery, or if its turned off, how can I find it by GPS?
Any solution?
sorry, if the phone is off / battery empty - no chance...
i mean, how should it work anyway?! sending a "dead" device the command to boot up and do something?
standby shouldn't be a problem for these programs or they aren't worth the money. i know that kaspersky's mobile security offers this feature. but so far i didn't buy it... (pretty certain it would mess with the system in some ways, make it laggy etc) phonecreeper here @xda should work as well.
oh, one more thing:
all these apps won't prevent a hard-reset or a reflash. in this case you could only disable the IMEI via your provider (sim-card is mandatory anyway) to make it really useless for the thief. (imei-changing is possible and apparently pretty easy, but instructions are pretty hard to find on the web... ^^)
I mean, when it is in standby mode, when u tap power off, then screen goes black.. it doesnt seem to work when its in this mode..
well, from what i've read about smartphonetracker, it SHOULD work in standby-mode. (if the phone is connected to a network to receive the sms)
if it doesn't you should ask the guy who wrote it? also you can find some support here.

By connected to network, u mean internet connection? I want to track my gfs whereabouts, but she doesnt have internet connection on her phone..

Well, I guess that's fine because she knows about it and does the same with your phone, right?
Since when do SMS need an internet connection?
Hey, is there any way to get the galaxy gear to connect to my WLAN at home?
I am using null rom and tethering to get internet to work on my gear now, but i got this tv controller app that needs to connect to my wlan in order to work. Soooo, is it even possible in any way to get my gear to recognize a wifi other than the one my SGS3 creates? I see so many benefits to this because I want to control everything that's electric at home from my gear.
I have read everywhere and i can't find any solution for this.. The only thing i found was someone with about the same connection problem i think, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537003 . Where fOmey says something about using tasker & autoremote in order to get it to work, can any kind soul help me decipher these hieroglyphics so that I may get an answer?
I'm a noob at this as i got null yesterday.. Really good stuff though!! :good:
Thanks in advance
/P
well the answer in simple terms is to install Tasker on your phone and AutoRemote on your Gear.
so after you read from Tasker dev site on using it properly the long and short is that autoremote can send commands to your phone and then Tasker on phone will execute said command. your Gear has no wifi so this setup pushes command to phone that has wifi and phone sends command via network.
not a complete answer with instructions but with research now you should be able to get it working.
good luck because Tasker can be challenging but also once you understand it also very rewarding
Thank you very much for the answer and for opening my eyes to Tasker! But i'm sorry to say that i'm not really sure how to take it from here.
I have now installed Tasker on the phone and Autoremote on both the phone and the gear and I found that the tasker truly can be rewarding as you say, I have read alot about it and found several things that I can have use of.
But the thing is, will I be able to trick my gear through the phone into thinking it has access to my home network and use the app that way (I can and have installed the app on the gear but it can't find the tv-box as i don't have access to my home network). Or will the gear only be able to command the phones app 'Telia Zappa' to change channel on the tv-box? I don't get where to begin in either way and for me I would love to get access to the network right away instead of making scripts or what to call it for every app that must have access to my home network.
If someone have this figured out or have any ideas especially on how to trick watch to get access to my home network through my phone and bluetooth tethering of course, please help me out. I have so many fun and useful ideas for the watch wich I gladly share with you if I only could get this to work.
Thanks,

I've got some apps on my Gear to connect to my computer, as Spotimote and Unified Remote. But I dont really get how the Gear can connect to my computer when it can't find my tv-box on the local wlan because it says it's connected to 'unkown ssid' in the tv-box's app. When I got the other apps to work I had the ability to manually set the ip adress to connect to, so I did just that and it worked! But I don't have that ability in the app for the tv-box. So how can my gear connect to my computer on the local wlan, but it cant find my tv-box or even the local wlan when I use the other app and both my computer and tv-box is of course on the same network. The app for my tv-box works just fine on the mobile device.
Nothing of above has been done with Tasker, or has it? Can it be that the connection between my phone and Gear through Autoremote provides the gear with the ability to communicate with my computer via phones wifi?
Anyone? It must be any way to trick the Gear into thinking that it have Local network access through phones wifi connection and bluetooth tethering.. If someone knows the answer or got any ideas plase tell me, and if it really is through Tasker and Autoremote please tell me where to begin!
My question remains unanswered, but only for now i hope!

sorry, did you actually get to work Unified Remote via 'wifi'?
i was only able to do it by direct connection between gear and pc, note 3 was skipped.

Since I don't have Bluetooth on my computer I assumed that it was wifi/local Wlan, through the phones tethering to Gear. Maybe I'm wrong, but the only other explanation I have would be that the Gear connected through an internet connection to my computer wich i dont see how it would be possible when i only entered an local ip adress.

I've been trying to look for a simple solution to automatically turn on my Note 9's mobile hotspot when I get into my car. Unfortunately, I can't find any reliable working solutions. Especially, since it's impossible to root my phone (Verizon). I tried Macrodroid. The method it provides seems to only support old phones from a few years ago.
Are there any clever ways at all to automatically turn on the mobile hotspot on my phone when I go into my car? I don't mind occasionally manually turn on the hotspot. However, it's not a reasonable solution to manually turn on the mobile hotspot every single time I get into my car.

Check out 'tasker'

there's a widget that turn on hotspot with just 1 click. but it only work on Oreo and on unlocked u1 firmware.

Thanks for the quick reply back. I was under the impression that Tasker can't do this anymore on newer Android OS's (8.1 and newer); at least, not on Samsung phones.. even with the "Nougat+ Tasker Tethering Control" plugin.
Has something changed that allows Tasker to work? Is there a new beta that allows this without rooting? If so, could you please point me to the URL that talks about this? I couldn't find it.

Hmm... doing this manually every single time isn't really feasible for me. It would be no different than toggling the mobile hotspot via the notification bar or telling Bixby to turn it on/off... it's still a manual process that I'm bound to forget to do.

I just set up a quick Tasker task to see if hotspot would turn on and it does, I'm not rooted.
This can be done with tasker, but I'm not sure it will work with the screen off (perhaps tasker can turn on the screen, though).
Create a task that does the following:
1. Turn off wifi
2. Launch Bixby voice (the 2nd entry)
3. Use autoinput to tap the keyboard icon at bottom left once Bixby voice is open.
4. Type "enable mobile hotspot".
I haven't yet found a better way to have tasker access Bixby for sending commands. Perhaps there's an intent or something we could use.
EDIT: I just tried creating a quick command, and using the Bixby button while screen off, was prompted to unlock the phone first. It would be amazing to utilize Bixby with Tasker, without unlocking the screen. Anyways, good luck.
Tasker is able to turn WiFi hotspot on perfectly with the screen off. No need to mess with Bixby.
If you're not using pie, Samsung good lock 2018 has "routines". I use for sounds profiles entering and exiting the work bubble.

Macrodroid has worked perfectly for me.
I know this might be kinda late but, I came here for the same thing with an S9 not rooted. i tried both Macrodroid and Trigger but they weren't any help, then I downloaded tasker and followed this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXzHoQJCx9M , i added another exit task to turn on wifi and that way I have it the way it was before entering the car once I exit.

I totally did, someone helped in the Note 9 subreddit. The answer is Good Lock, which is, and of itself, bad ass. The Routines App in Good Lock does it, easy peasy!

The point for me was that it was automated, the Bixby button does work, but its just as fast in that case to pull down your notification shade and toggle it yourself. I just posted a response to someone else, Good Lock, Routines is the answer. See above.

Hi to All, I know this has nothing to do with phones, but there might just be someone here who can solve this anyway
My problem is that I live in an area in th Philippines, where Globe telecom is the only solution for internet, and a very unstable one. Sometimes the speed is all the way down to 80Kbps and sometimes it goes to 0.
This makes using a Chromecast very dificult, it's possible to use when the speed is fine, but a sudden drop in speed sends chromecast in buffering mode. I tried to get Google to help, to no avail - they don't care.
I would like to have it not searching for internet, as 99.9% of the time i use it for internal casting(Offline)!
Anyone have a solution for this?
My Chromecast is 3rd gen. According to this page https://www.techthatworks.net/electronic/what-generation-chromecast-do-i-have and use Firmware(checked that in Home App) 1.49.230269
Hope to hear from you smart people soon as this is driving me nuts, I'm back to use USB stick and not all format are supported, so I have to convert and convert and so on, in order to watch the clips.
Thank you in advance

Hi Peppe, why would it be illegal, I paid for the device - its mine I just want it to stop looking for the internet all the time, and do what it was bought for -casting.
Not possible, it's a real design flaw of the chromecast. I have slow internet and use it for internal casting too, very frustrating. Maybe get a bluray player or a roku they are better.
Thank you

The 3rd gen Chromecast will not boot or function if it can't hit Google's servers at boot. If it looses general internet connection, it will go to a "I've lost my brains" type of screen and not let you do anything. For a Chromecast, the internet connection is sadly required even if you're just mirroring locally.
