Powerpoint remote ?

well im looking for an app that can change the slides when i say to on my android , i have found some but they all need a server to be running on the computer , is there another way i can do this without a server via bluetooth . why can i not use a server ? whenever i am at school they block any exe application , i could try a java server but that probs wont work either

thankyou ryan
 
thanks but it has a server and is via wifi , i need it pref without a server and defo bluetooth, i know this can be done as my old sony ericson could
You need a bluetooth receiver on the desktop that you are using.... So either your Sony Ericson came with a USB receiver or the desktop at your school has a bluetooth receiver built in. Which one were you working with?

oh sorry by server i ment the exe file that is needed , i know bluetooth is needed which is what i used without an exe
...? I'm not following.

In order to communicate with a computer via bluetooth, you need to have a hardware bluetooth transmitter (your phone) and a hardware bluetooth receiver (something that plugs into the computer).

Forget about the exe file, do you have something, physical, that plugs into the computer?

Load it onto a flash drive, plug it into the school computer and run it.
