Chambahs Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Was thinking. My previous post, shows how awesome my phone is now that it can be directly connected to my computer. But, I just noticed, I really dont want my computer to be on 24/7. Lol, my light bill will shoot up. Anyone know of a way, where I can keep my computer in standby mode, and have it so I can wake up my computer through my phone as well? Heres how gmote works: Download/install server to your comp, enter the IP of your comp on phone, set password, and it connected as the phone being the client. But the thing is, if the computer is in standby mode, the server wont be online, therefor, not letting my connect to my computer. I can make it so my power scheme lets my network stay online, but I cant figure out a way to make it so standby mode doesnt actually pause the processes. Even if there was a possible way to add an exception list somewhere, it would help. If I could get my computer to standby or hibernate, and at the same time, leave it so my internet stays connected and at least 1 program (gmote) process doesnt get paused, then I think it would be totally possible to have my computer be accessable when need be. I KNOW I can create a standby application to make my computer ENTER standby mode with my phone, the only problem is waking it up. I searched the web, and so far I only found a bunch of applications that let you wake up computers that are on the same LAN. Ive also found programs that you can actually wake up computers through IP/MacID, but its just backwards as far as I need it to be on the client vs server side. (You can wake up other computers, from your computer. Theres no way to actually get that program on my phone.) I figured the only possible way I can accomplish this, is either through a web browser, or I can get the VPN application for my phone and somehow use that. The only problem is finding out HOW to use my resources to get what I need accomplished, any ideas? EDIT: I hope you offer to make something awesome drake Edited February 9, 2009 by Chambahs
»Lynx Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) WoL It's a pretty straight forward, but maybe tough to implement on the G1 for security reasons. I'm sure there are applications that can make the whole process a lot more streamlined (there are for the Mac). -L Edited February 10, 2009 by Lynx
rootbear75 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 isnt there a setting in your bios that you can wake the computer on network activity?
»Lynx Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 network boot is different, but you can use that. -L
