Control the mobile from the PC with SCRCPY

SCRCPY is an open and free source application of Android screen duplication that will allow us to control our USB connected to our PC without installing any application in our mobile.This tool is multiplatform, so it is compatible with Windows, Linux and Macos.It will also be necessary to have Android 5 installed.0 or higher on our mobile, something that any Android device is practically available.

With this program we can use the mouse to move through the different menus of our phone, launch applications and write on it, all from the computer of our computer.Another of its important characteristic is its low latency that causes that there is not much delay when using it.In addition, since Scrcpy does not need an installation on our mobile, it becomes one of the safest mirrors for Android.

SCRCPY installation in Windows 10

Before I can run ScRCPY it will be necessary for us to install the Android ADB tool on our computer and that we can download from here.

We will download version 1.4.3 in Zip format, which we must decompress on our computer.Later we open the folder and execute the ADB-setup-1 file.4.3.exe.We will open an online command panel where different questions will appear to which we must answer with Y (Yes) so that all the necessary accessories are installed and once we finish we click on finishing.

The next step, on our mobile we have to make sure to have the developer options enabled.This step varies slightly depending on the manufacturer of our mobile, but usually we must go to the "settings", then to information from the phone and finally click many times in a row in the "compilation number" until the message appearsthat the developer options are enabled later we enter the "system" section and click on "Developer options".Here we must activate the "USB purification".

Once this is done, on our computer, we download the scrcpy application and draw the ZIP file.Now we connect the smartphone to our PC using the USB cable and allow the USB purification on the phone.Finally, we open the Scrcpy folder and execute the SCRCPY file.Exe and our mobile screen will appear on the computer screen in mirror mode.

Use scrcpy to control the mobile from the PC

Once we have the screen of our mobile on the computer we can control it with the mouse, moving on the screen and accessing any application by clicking on it.It is recommended that in our mobile we have enabled the buttons on screen instead of gestures.In this way it will be easier for us to access multitars, go back when we enter an application and return directly to the main menu.

It is also advisable not to have the unlocking for footprint, since in this case we can only unlock it by taking the mobile, so it is more useful to have only the pin or unlocking pattern to be able to unlock it from the computer with our mouse or keyboard.

In this way we can easily transfer files to our Android device, because we must simply drag the specific file to the Scrcpy window, as well as install Android APK files directly from the PC in the same way.In addition, we can copy and paste text from Android to the PC and vice versa using the basic copying and paste shortcuts.

"You telephone", controls the mobile remotely

This is an application that is installed by default on Windows 10 since 2018, which will allow us to access wirelessly from the PC to our mobile.Likewise, we will also allow us to visualize the phone screen on our computer.Its use is especially indicated to make calls from the computer, read and send SMS, access our phone applications and even send images just drag and release.

Connect the "your phone" application to the mobile

From our computer we must access the “your phone” app, so we must write your name in the search bar and select it.Subsequently we must log in with our Microsoft account.

On the other hand, on our mobile we must download the companion application of "Your phone - connection to Windows".Once installed we must also log in with our Microsoft account, making sure that it is the same one we have put in the computer application.Likewise, we must have both the mobile and the computer connected to the same wifi connection.

Once both devices are matched, we can start handling the application having access to notifications, messages, photos and calls.In this way we can have access to the entire content of our mobile from the computer

See the mobile screen on the PC

With this application we will be able to interact with all our Android applications and the content of our device directly from the PC, through a WiFi connection.For this, it will be necessary to have installed on our PC Direct X and have some compatible terminals:

Next, both the mobile and the computer connected to the same Wi -Fi network must open the application of "Your Telephone" and we go to the phone screen.Here we must follow the installation instructions.It is possible that in the mobile we receive a permissions application to access the information of our Android device, so we must allow these permits so that the application of "your phone" can show the content of our device on the screen.

Share the mobile screen with the PC with Vysor

With the Vysor application we will also be able to share the screen of our mobile with the computer to be able to handle it from the desk using the keyboard and mouse.This is a multiplatform application, so, in addition to Windows, it offers compatibility with Linux and Macos.This tool has a free version that will allow us to duplicate and control our mobile with Android or iOS and make screenshots.We can download it from this link.

It also has a PRO version that provides additional features such as a high quality reflection, a full screen mode, wireless connection, drag and release files and access to all future functions that are incorporated.

How to install Vysor

The first thing we must download and install the ADB tool as we have seen previously, while on the mobile we must ensure that we have activated the USB purification.The next step is to download the application of Vysor on the computer for free from this link.Likewise, on our mobile we will have to download and install the application that we can download from both the Play Store and the Apple Store.

Once we have it installed on both devices, we connect our mobile with the Cable by USB to the computer and start the application of the PC.In the mobile we must make sure to accept debugging by USB so that they can be linked correctly.In the application of the PC we will appear an interface where we can see our Android or iOS mobile connected, so it only remains to click on the button with the Play symbol to begin and a new window will appear where the screen of our mobile is shown.

Use Vysor to control the screen with the keyboard and mouse

Once we are in the new window where the screen of our mobile is reflected, we can already handle it with the mouse.It is especially recommended that we have enabled the pin or unlocking pattern instead of the footprint, we can unlock the screen.In this case it will give the same as we have enabled the gestures on the screen or not, since the application itself incorporates its own backlists, multitasking and menu, which we can use with the mouse.

From here we can move through all menus and enter the applications, just like Silo we handle from the mobile screen.Depending on whether we have the free or payment version, we do some operations or other.

TeamViewer, share and control the mobile screen with the PC

When we talk about TeamViewer, we do a complete remote control program, which will serve to connect to any PC and also for mobile phone servers.In this way we can send and control our mobile screen to the computer to control it or vice versa.

This software is characterized because all connections carry a 256 -bit AES encryption with double authentication systems and extreme protection measures.In addition, it has white lists of users and IPS to limit who can connect to our PC.

How to install TeamViewer

The first thing we should do is download the application for the PC from its website.The program has a free version for personal use that will allow us to do the job without paying.In our mobile phone we must ensure that we have the UTSB purification activated and we will proceed to install the application «TeamViewer Quicksupport».

Once we have the application installed on the mobile we execute it and we will appear a screen where the ID shows us.

Now we execute the application in Windows and your main menu will appear.Here in the "ID of the partner" section we must write the ID that appears in the application of the mobile and click on «Connect».

Once this is done on the mobile screen, a sign does not appear to allow remote support, so we click on "allow" to establish the connection.

Use TeamViewer to control the mobile screen

Now we have the screen of our mobile from the TeamViewer interface available and we can move through its interface and access the different menus and applications.Of course, it is possible to say that the experience is not as satisfactory as in other options that we have seen since it is possible to apply a certain "lag" when moving, being the little fluid animations and the very low quality.

In the upper part we can see that it has the navigation buttons, for the backward, the multitasking and the return to the start menu.When moving all over the screen interface we will notice a certain delay and that the application does not respond as perhaps expected.However, it is another option to take into account, that it can save us from a hurry in case we need to use the mobile from the PC.
