Supported Operating Systems:

• PC – Linux, Windows, Mac;
• Smartphones – mobile Windows, Android and iOS.

For PC, you can download the program from the website https://teamviewer.com.

To debug access to a PC, you should download and run a program that will assign an identification number to the computer, which consists of 9 digits. A 4-digit password will also be generated; it is generated dynamically and changes each time the application is launched. If you wish, you can create your own password so that it does not change constantly.

2. Permission must be set to remote access to PC.

Wi-Fi connection

Make sure your phone's Wi-Fi is turned on and your computer and phone are connected to the same network (router). Launch "MyPhoneExplorer Client" on your phone. It is advisable to set up a WiFi-PIN code to protect against unauthorized access (works with MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.1 and higher).

Launch the PC client application. Make sure MyPhoneExplorer is not blocked Windows Firewall. Click "File > Settings" and in the "Connection via..." group, set the switch to the "Wi-Fi" position and click on the "OK" button.

In the main MyPhoneExplorer window, click File > Connection.

Bluetooth connection

Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on on your phone, and that your phone is paired with your PC. Before setting up a pair, set up Bluetooth phone so that the phone is discoverable. When setting up pairing using the proprietary utility of your Bluetooth adapter, if it provides manual setting, select the service "MyPhoneExplorer".

After pairing, find out the COM port number through which the phone is connected to the laptop.

In the "MyPhoneExplorer" settings, select "Bluetooth" and specify the COM port number provided by your Bluetooth adapter utility. Click on the "OK" button.

In the main MyPhoneExplorer window, click File > Connection.

Cast your phone screen to your computer

Once the connection is established, you can synchronize the contents of your device with your computer. To display your phone screen on your computer, click: "Miscellaneous > Phone Keyboard/Upload Screenshot".

A window with a mobile phone screen will open. If the phone screen doesn't appear, try this. Activate the "Update automatically" checkbox so that everything that happens on the phone screen is automatically displayed on the computer.

The funny option “Show mouse cursor on phone” shows the computer mouse cursor directly on the phone screen, although its transfer to the computer is suspended...

If you don't use your phone for several minutes and it falls asleep, you can wake it up with the "Wake up device" button (green button at the top of the window).

The buttons at the bottom of the window duplicate the phone's system buttons: "Menu", "Home" and "Back".

Finger touch (Tap) – Click with the left mouse button;

Sliding your finger along the glass – Hold down the left mouse button, move the cursor in the desired direction, release the key;
