How to Control your PC with your Mobile Phone Bluetooth

Posted by Jeffbanks at 12:00 pm

Some of you already know about it but those who don`t know, I want to tell one thing that they can operate their Laptop or PC via their cell phones using Bluetooth. It is very simple. You have to only install an application in your Cell phone/PC.

Mobilewitch Bluetooth Remote Control is a free of charge program that can be used to control your computer from distance. The main purpose of this software is to turn your mobile phone into a universal PC remote control. The application is perfect for business as well as for your own enjoyment. Now you can easily remote control your PowerPoint presentations, Mouse Cursor or simply explore the content of your computer directly from your mobile phone.

Tones of handy features will be available after installing the software. You will be able to change the tracks and videos played on Media Player or Winamp, browse for artists, albums or adjust the volume. The application will also give you remote access to programs such as Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer or Firefox. In the same time you will be able to Run commands on your computer or send text messages to your desktop.

The program consists of two parts - The client and the server (both being written in Java). The former is located into a J2ME capable mobile phone with Bluetooth capabilities while the latter is placed in the computer you wish to remotely control.

So, all you need for this software to run is a mobile phone with Bluetooth support and a Bluetooth dongle installed on your computer.

In order to start using the Mobilewitch Bluetooth Remote Control you first need to download and install both Mobile Application and PC Server. In case of Nokia mobile phones, the Nokia PC Suite will automatically recognize and prompt you to install the application on your handset. After the installation is complete, follow the steps below.

Steps to Control your PC with your Mobile Phone Bluetooth

1. Launch the PC Server application first.

2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mobile Witch Remote Control, copy and paste the MWRemoteCtrl.jad and MWRemoteCtrl.jar into your mobile phone then launch the Application. The phone will automatically start searching for active devices. Once both devices are connected you will be able to access the Mobilewitch Bluetooth Remote Control Menu from your phone.

From this menu you will be able to control your mouse cursor, keyboard and the following programs, if installed on your computer: Windows Explorer, Firefox, Window Media Player, Internet Explorer, Winamp and PowerPoint. Please note that each application you would like to control has to be first started from the computer and needs to be Always on Top of your desktop.
