In my previous
blog: How to control Computer from Phone, today I’m just reversing things.
Today I gonna show How to gain complete access on your Smartphone (Android)
wirelessly. Just follow the steps to control your Smartphone from your PC.
Things needed:
Ø A Windows PC or Mac
Ø Wi-Fi connection on both PC/Mac and Android
Phone
AirDroid is a free app
to control your Android Smartphone from PC, it enables you to manage every
activities of Phone on PC, Mac or on Web browser remotely. AirDroid is
available in Windows, Chrome, Mac and Android, unfortunately iPhone or iPad doesn’t
support this. You can also share files to your friend who uses AirDroid.
·
Download
and install AirDroid from the link given above. It will ask you to Sign in, you
can Sign in with your Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus or Sign up with your
email id.
·
Now you
need to enable notification access on your Android Smartphone. Tap ‘Enable’ and
check box.
That’s it! You’re
done with your Phone, now get your PC.
·
Download
AirDroid for PC from the link given above. Once it downloaded, install it.
·
Now Sign
in with the same account that you used to Sign in into AirDroid app on your
Android device, in this way it will connect your Android Phone with PC.
·
Now you
can see a popup at the bottom of the screen, which will be shown that your
device is connected.
Transfer files wirelessly:
·
You can
easily transfer files from your PC to Phone, just drag and drop the file which
you want to transfer.
·
Things you’ve
transferred will be shown in ‘File Transfer’ on your Phone, select ‘AirDroid
Desktop’ and there you can see all the stuffs which you shared.
Notification Access:
·
AirDroid
you can mirror all your notifications to your PC, it can be an incoming calls, messages
or any other app notifications. And the best thing of AirDroid is you can interact
with notifications even without touching your Phone, for example: there is an incoming call on your Phone, you can ‘answer’,
‘mute’ or ‘decline’ it right from your PC, you can even reply to text or Whatsapp
messages.
You will get all
notifications that are displayed on Phone, you can also check your inbox or
contacts or even call history of your Phone from Desktop app.
You will notice a
floating icon on the desktop, just hover on it you can see the device which
connected, share files by drag and drop.
AirDroid
Web:
You can also use
AirDroid for Web service, visit web.airdroid.com to use it on your browser without
installing Airdroid on PC. You have to scan QR code from the AirDroid app of
your Phone to Sign in. But the AirDroid Web works when the browser tab is open,
therefore AirDroid PC will give you the best.
Screen Mirror on AirDroid:
Screen mirroring
can be possible with AirDroid but for that you have to root your Android device.
Rooting will give you lots of amazing features and tweaks to your Phone or Tablet
but at the same it is harmful to your device if you use it improperly and it will
void warranty too. So if you rooting, do at your own risk.
Tap on the ‘location’
(shown in the image below) and check your device if it ask for root access,
Grant the permission and continue to the PC. The whole screen will be mirrored and
you can control your Phone screen with mouse and keyboard.
