Infrared remote control is one of the new features of Samsung Galaxy S4 that I like to use. Yes, you can connect your home entertainment system with Samsung WatchON on Galaxy S4. It provides program schedules and also let you remotely control the TV and set top box. No need to have TV and set top box remove controls with you anymore.
Samsung Galaxy S4 infrared remote control is one of the selling points. However, Samsung WatchON is limited to entertainment devices only. Can’t remote control other devices like aircon, projector, fan, DSLR, IR switch and etc. Luckily, there is a free Android application for that. Yes, iControl is the IR remote control app of the day. It is developed in China, so expect some words in Chinese. No worry, essential functions are still in English.
How to control your Android device from web browser? Webkey is one of the Android applications to do so. Here is another one ~ AirDroid. AirDroid is a free Android application that lets you manage and control your Android device from a web browser through Wi-Fi. It does not have live view of your Android phone like Webkey. But it does not require root access. And has much better web interface.
Want to use keyboard to type SMS? Capture screenshot of your Android phone? Browse and read files on your phone? Webkey for Android is the application that you need. You can remote control Android phone from any browser with Webkey. Note – root access is required.
Finally, I found a free remote control application for Windows Mobile. With this tool, you can control your PC with the mobile device. There are a server program for Windows desktop and a client program for Windows Mobile. And connected using WLAN or ActiveSync.
