Remote PC control on Android via Bluetooth

In our lives, there are many situations, when it would be convenient to control your computer at home or in the office remotely, using only a smartphone that is not connected to neither the Internet nor a common router. These situations can be easily resolved by the “Bluetooth remote control PC” applications for Android and we are going to talk about one of them.

 Our choice

Today, you can find about 10 good programs for the remote PC control, but only a few of them can support multiple communication technologies with the PC. Normally they are limited with the Wi-Fi connection. However, we came across a free program from Google Play. It is called Unified Remote.

It supports PC control from Android via Bluetooth and via Wi-Fi, depending on what you prefer in this situation.

Like all similar applications, the control process interacts with the server part, which is separately installed on the computer.

Next, we will show how to set up and use the remote control PC via Bluetooth on Android. To do this, repeat the following steps:

1. Download and start the Unified Remote on your smartphone.

3. Press the «I HAVE INSTALLED THE NEW SERVER!».

   

4. Next, you will see the main application window. Make a swipe to the right to call the additional menu.

   

5. We need to choose our computer for further connection to it. Select «Servers».

   

   Make sure that your computer is running a server program that you downloaded earlier. Also, enable the Bluetooth on both devices.

6. On your phone, find your computer name on the list of available devices. Choose the name of it near the Bluetooth icon, because we wish to control it via Bluetooth.

   

After these steps, your smartphone will connect to a PC. You are ready to control.
