Xdotool is actually (yet another) one of those things in X11 that is somewhat broken and due for a redesign. The APIs that it uses are not really safe for applications to use, they're meant for window managers, so in some situations your scripts can get overridden by the window manager and they just won't work. For remoting to a smartphone you can just use any old VNC client.
