How to Remotely Access a Computer Using a Mobile Device

By Gareth Jale


First of all, keep in mind that when you download a remote access app for your Samsung Infuse 4G, you will also need to download the equivalent app for your PC or laptop. If your computer runs on Windows you will need a Windows version of that application. The same goes for all Mac OS or Linux devices. This is because the app will not work correctly with your computer if you do not have the correct version set up on your computer. Compatibility is the key to remote access, whether with the Samsung Infuse 4G or with any other smart phone.

The next thing that you will want to make sure that you have is the "essential" features for remote access. A program like Distance Computing makes it super easy to do basic things like search for individual files or download and upload files from your computer to your mobile device.

However, if you want to do other things, such as remotely turn your computer off, and then you will want to make sure that your app has those kinds of features built in. An app like Power Switch is a good one to keep on hand if you want to have that kind of power on and off control over your PC or laptop.

You should also know that there will always be a free and paid version of any program. The apps that are paid will contain, in many situations, more features than the apps that are free, but the additional cost might not be worth it for you, depending on what you absolutely need to do with your smart phone and computer. Feel free to experiment with both to figure out which ones get things done for you with the least amount of hassle.

As you see there are many different applications that can help you remotely access your computer with a mobile device. These apps make it easy to work with your computer even when you are not directly in front of it. Aside from these apps, however, you should also look into some of the many accessories on the market. For example, a screen protector is a great way to keep your smart phone's screen looking brand new. Similarly, a case can help you keep your phone's body from suffering scrapes and scratches.
