Do you ever dream of not having to stand up to change the music on your computer? Or do you want to change that slide on your Powerpoint presentation without clicking repeatedly on your PC and get distracted?
Now you can do both and more, just by turning your smartphone into a remote. Here’s how you can do so:
Step 1
Search and install Gmote from the Google Play Store.
Step 2
Download the Gmote server on the PC that you wants to control. Get the downloadable file here.
Step 3
Install the Gmote program files through the installation setup that opens after the file has been downloaded.
Step 4
Configure the Gmote server by filling up the password requirement that shows up on the screen.
Step 5
Identify the location of the files that you want to control using your phone as the remote. These include music files and documents. It’s recommended that you put the files in a separate folder that’s easy to locate.
Step 6
Once the server has been set up on your PC, go to the Gmote app on your phone. Click the “I have installed the Server. Start Gmote!” prompt.
Step 7
Pick a server. The Gmote app searches for all the available servers around the area. Click the one that’s connected to your PC.
Step 8
You’ll be asked to enter your password.
Step 9
Click Browse. You can now see the folders you selected earlier. In our case, we opt to connect our “musixxx” folder which of course, has all my music files.
Alternatively, you can also turn your Android device into a TV remote.
