Vysor: manage your Android from your desktop computer
Android / / December 19, 2019
It may seem that control the phone using the keyboard and mouse - is nothing more than fun for geeks. Mobile application Vysor dispel such thoughts.
In truth, in the introduction I did not just mention the gikah. Vysor wrote Kashik Datta (Koushik Dutta) - one of the most recognized developers for Android, a great connoisseur of the green platform. Moreover, the first Kashik assumed Vysor not go to the masses and useful brothers in the shop for debugging applications. However, beta Vysor interested in a lot of ordinary people are, albeit not all of them were clearly why all this is necessary.
Maybe they wanted to be a little geek himself? Version rings true, especially in light of the fact that Vysor does not work "out of the box" and its need to make friends with a computer. Here's how to do it.
The basic version Vysor
After starting the application you are greeted and offered to move to developer mode - a special section in the smartphone settings where no knowledge of the case it is better not to meddle. Typically, the developer mode is hidden from the eyes and user access is not so easy to him. But Vysor quickly move you to where you need to activate the debugging via USB, that is, to include interface Android Debug Bridge (ADB).
On the next screen you will be given a link to download a desktop Vysor app for Chrome. Surely browser from Google you have, even if you are using Firefox or Vivaldi. Install Vysor for Chrome and open it - now it's up to drivers.
Links for ADB-load driver shown at the bottom left. Note that for Windows 10, its driver. Install them, try to connect. The smartphone will ask for your permission - agree. Now, both devices are ready to work together. The monitor will mirror your phone.
Use the keyboard and mouse to navigate. For example, click the left mouse button - a tap on the screen, and the Esc key - step back. To be honest, inconvenient to use, the more that the picture freezes and collapses on the huge pixel cubes. Why it happens? Because the lowest cost options to the default settings. By the deepest regret, change them only in the paid version of the utility.
Paid version Vysor
Let us not yet on pricing, start with the opportunities that are owners of Pro-version Vysor:
- Activating full-screen mode.
- Securing Vysor top of other windows.
- Note bitrate, resolution and video picture the decoder.
- Transfer files by simply dragging.
- Cast screen through the air without wires.
Paid options are so sweet, that without them the application is good does not make sense. Here are some examples:
- Do you work at the computer and the phone at this time is based on the charge. Are notified. You do not want to climb. Woke green robot arm and looked at what was happening there. Thus it is possible to respond to the messenger: write or paste the sticker. However, typing on a computer keyboard can only be on the English keyboard layout. Russian letters will have to poke a mouse on the virtual keyboard smartphone.
- The situation is repeated with the only difference being that the bell rings. Brushed "Reply" and turn on the speakerphone. Poorat have to, of course, but it's better than to break away from their homes. Similarly, we proceed with outgoing.
- You wanted to play in the third "Heroes". Run and play on the full screen.
- You forget where your phone lying around. Turn on the front-facing camera and look at the ceiling. You have it whitewashed, so orient on any spots. :) Okay, okay, just turn on the music and find.
- You take care of business and gave the phone to the child so that he does not interfere. A child can not hear a couple of tens of minutes, which means that it's time to find out what it is so enthusiastic. This is important, because even innocent children's YouTube channel there is absolutely wild videos that dolls take delivery under the relevant moans.
Of course, the situation is quite specific, and not all of them happen. Therefore, even more surprisingly, Vysor conducts an aggressive monetary policy and distributed as a service rather than as a mobile application - by subscription. So, a month asking for $ 2, but for a lifetime license - $ 40.
In general, the basic version Vysor looks like nothing more than a curious toy for five minutes, well and in full - the amateur and too expensive. What do you think?
