How to use your Samsung Jet to change Powerpoint slides on computer
A while ago I got a Samsung Jet (aka S8000) for mobile network testing, I was also curious about its java-blueotooth features. After playing with it for a while, I found out that it worked well with the touch-screen version of WMouseXP (a powerpoint/presentation remote-control software) mobile app, so here’s how to set it up:
Phone Setup
The touch-screen enabled mobile version is needed, this is available on the mobile “wap” site:
-
Open the browser (“Internet” icon) in your Samsung Jet, go to “wap.clearevo.com”
-
Choose WMouseXP > Download
-
Open phone’s Bluetooth setting icon (its page shows “Tap here to turn Bluetooth on” - tap on it).
-
Start the WMouseXP mobile app, if all things went correctly, you’d see “Awaiting PC Side” shown on top of the screen - this means were’re ready and waiting for the computer/notebook to connect to us.
Computer Setup
-
Download and install the WMouseXP installer.
-
Makesure your computer/notebook’s Bluetooth is started and ready. (if your Notebook has internal Bluetooth - start it using its assigned Fn+ bluetooth button or hardware bluetooth/wireless button)
-
Start WMouseXP (double click the icon on your Desktop).
-
Press the “Connect” button, wait until it finds your phone’s WMouseXP and connects to it, if all went well, it would show a “Wireless Connection Active” balloon from the system tray.
Use the phone’s on-screen joystick to move your computer’s mouse cursor! Click the middle of the joystick to click things on your computer, try double-click some things on computer from phone. Try open a Powerpoint Presentation, tap the top-right command icon to start the presentation, tap the joystick middle button to go to the next step/slide, press the top-middle command icon to go back, press the top-left command icon to exit.
Note: the WMouseXP Computer program has a “Step 1” button to send and install the mobile app to phone - we omit this because it would send the “old” mobile app version which doesn’t support touch-screen command pressing, it was for phones with numeric-pads, that’s why we installed the new touch-screen enabled version from the “wap” side directly on the phone instead.
