If you’re like most people, you wake up your computer every morning with a sense of dread. You know that something important is going to happen today that you can’t avoid, and you dread the thought of having to spend the day working on your computer. But if you use an Android phone as your primary device for work, then there’s no need to worry about waking up your computer each morning. You can simply use your phone as a normal device and wake it up when needed. Here are some tips on how to do this:
- Make sure that your phone is charged before starting work. This will help keep your battery healthy and active during the day.
- Set up a schedule for when you need to wake up your computer. This way, you won’t have to worry about waking it up every time there’s an important email or document waiting for you in the inbox.
- Use a timer or other means of telling yourself when it’s time to wake up your computer so that you don’t have to think about it each time!
At MakeUseOf they’ve shared a small tutorial on how to configure the free Android application PC Auto Waker. Essentially it’s just a lightweight wake-on-LAN (WOL) client that sends a packet to your computer.
If you’re familiar with WOL you can likely just grab the application and plug in the necessary information. If you’ve never messed around with WOL, we’d suggest reading over their tutorial to get a clearer idea of how the application functions and what you need to configure on your computer.
