RemoteDroid is wonderful. I just give a presentation using this s/w. Yeah! everybody was wondering how I do control my laptop when I am away from it delivering a talk.
The setting is like this, fist I run Connectify on my laptop and connected my Tattoo through Wifi. Then I run RemoteDroid server on my laptop and the client on my Tattoo and connected on ip 192.168.2.1, then it is done.
my tattoo just turn out as a wireless touch pad of my laptop even a wireless keyboard ,and I can totally control it. Wow awesome. Only thing is I need to see the laptop screen or projected image.
I tried VNC viewer too running a VNC server on my laptop, where I can see my laptop screen on my tattoo screen that is wonderful, but it is buggy, in many cases my tattoo screen just turn to green.
Anybody know something different and better.. please comment.
Try Teamviewer for Mobile, it's free for personal use.

TeamViewer works like a charm, thanx
I like Unified Remote: http://www.unifiedremote.com/
What I didnt like about Team Viewer was the popup after each session...

I would be interested to use the folio 100 as touch screen coupled with a drive fit pc2 that was given to me long ago, I thought how I could without having to use a remote desktop that 90% goes to shots more ...
I thought maybe if we could use the hdmi out as HDMI and USB port to handle the touchscreen, but I do not know where to start, if anyone can help me I'm happy.
p.s. dexter thanks to the mods especially for the 1.3d, although often when I turn off the screen then do not you turn and who goes out more XD
translated with google, because if I was translating worse XD
Maybe you should look into some VPN-software. There is also quite good applications that basicly turn your Android unit into a thouchpad.
Hope thats what your after
Remote desktop or VNC software. Pretty simple
I would recommend teamviewer, but I don't know (yet) if it's working on this tablet
I use to use LogMeIn and LogMeIn Ignition (pay app).
Very nice soft.
I've seen some apps and hardware out there, but I was wondering if any users here have user or are currently using their streak in a home automation/home theater setup....
would love to hear about someones setup or to get some advice on how to do it.
Thanks
I have Insteon lighting all through my home that is controlled from a PC running HCA Home Automation software. My home theater is ran from a Lenovo touch netbook/tablet for media remote control, that also connects to the Insteon PC to control the lighting. The HCA software has Android software that is in Marketplace that I have loaded on my Streak, which can also control the lights, but it isn't my primary method of control.
HCA http://www.hcatech.com/ is pretty cool because once you buy the base package, you can run it as a server on a main machine, then reinstall it on as many other machines as you want in client mode, plus it supports touch screens if you want to use those in your home. I run it in client touch screen mode in my HT, and you can do that on your iPhone or Windows Mobile phones also, at no extra charge. The software is easy to modify to do custom programming. If I didn't have the 10" tablet, the Streak could take the place of it. But since it is larger, I'd rather use the tablet in my theater.
I went through many other packages before I settled on this one. I have 30 light modules in my home, and I can control any or all of them from my streak either over WiFi inside my house, or over the Internet when I'm away from the house. It also monitors my security cameras and DVR remotely.
Hi All,
My dream, one that I hope Android can help me fulfill is to hook my Galaxy S2 to a HDMI tv, fire up remote desktop and by using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, effectively have a full desktop available.
I am yet to try hooking up my phone to a tv as I am waiting for the MHL cable, but issues I envisage are the following:
1) When the screen is mirrored on the TV, the RDP program will not use the TVs display show 'full screen'. I have installed some RDP applications and they allow you to select the resolution so perhaps this will resolve the issue
2) Are there any RDP applications that allow bluetooth keyboard and mouse entry?
This is the hold grail for me!! Many a time I have stayed in a hotel for work or holiday and not had my laptop with me and wished for such a solution. Combine this with Wake On Lan and it's perfect!
I hope someone can help!
I can't believe i'm the only one that wants something like this to work!
RDP programs should just take any inputs from your phone and pass them onto the remote machine so BT kb/m should work ok IMO. Not sure about the mirroring but if it is fullscreen on the phone then maybe the MHL cable will upscale for the TV.

I'm waiting for the cable before I can try. In fact I would have had it by now but my girlfriend wants to buy some stuff for me for my bday and I believe she's already ordered it!
I should get mine tomorrow and I'll try it out.
Thanks! I'll check back on thread!
I've been doing some reading around and have found that BT keyboards and a mouse will work no problem.
I tried my MHL cable with the Android VNC viewer app and allows you to fit to screen but does not output at the tv's native res.
I have had similar experience with Remote RDP, it just mirrors the phone's native resolution. Hopefully this kind of thing will be supported soon, including internet browsing at 1080p.
Thanks guys, that sux!
I still haven't received my cable so I can't try for myself, but have you managed to make it work to a workable output on the TV?
would be interesting if we could port some parts from the atrix (webtop) over to this phone. I actually enjoyed that feature.

Perhaps, this kind of program may help to format the resolution?
Am I missing something? If you got a bt keyboard and bt mouse and the phone to tv hdmi, don't you have it all? Why would you need a remote desktop or vnc software?
Well, you'd have it all except for USB, which you might be able to live without.

If it could pump out the full Remote Desktop resolution then you will effectively have a full desktop through your phone rather than just have the phone's software capability.
Fair enough you can surf the web and play a video but what if I want to use full excel or Word, and multi-task like on a desktop.
I've still not received my cable so I don't know whether the browsing the net with the phone's browser is legible on a big screen.
In my earlier post I complete missed off the applications name - LCD Density - haven't tried and I don't know if it's compatible with the SGSII, but sounds like it changes the native resolution of the phone.
Try Splashtop as your vnc app it is the only one to my knowledge that can stream audio almost perfect and video pretty good over vnc and works like a charm on the atrix.
Did you find a good BT keyboard that works well with the Evo? I'd prefer one with a built in trackpad, as my goal is to use this on the road (ie, airports, trains, etc), and would like to have an all-in-one keyboard/mouse.
The one thing that I haven't had time to tinker with have been HDMI goggles that can give a virtual display. Has anyone tried these w/ the Evo's mini-HDMI output?
Is there any app that allows me to control my pc via my Nook? I would like to be able to contol the media on my computer as a sit back and relax
My favorite app for remote desktop is Logmein its $14.99 on the app market. And works great on the Nook
Sent from my NookColor
There are many such apps on the Market. Have you tried Gmote?
My favorite remote app is Unified Remote, which has remotes for almost every purpose. It even saved my life when I had to give a presentation for an exam with 3 fellow students.
Nobody brought a presenter, so I quickly installed the desktop client and passed my phone to whomever was speaking next.
For a full-featured remote desktop, I settled for Android VNC Viewer. No need to pay money for Logmein.
PROTIP: Have a look at this thread I made a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115986
Using these steps, you can launch your remote app (and any other app) right from the lockscreen. Saves me loads of time whenever I just want to adjust the volume or stuff like that.
I love Unified Remote as a plain remote.
VNC is also great for free but Logmein just rocks for me with multiple networks and stuff like that as a remote desktop app.

It may be a tad overkill for your purposes, but my favorite remote desktop app is Team Viewer.
Simple to setup, simple to use, and it's free.
For your purposes, I've heard a lot of good things about gmote, but I wasn't able to get it to work.
I use androidVNC with TightVNC server on my desktop. To lazy to get up and move the mouse for Netflix
+1 for Unified Remote
Excellent tool with lot of remotes for different situations.
This is the one I use: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient&feature=search_result
There's also Tesla, if you use *nix on your PC.
Use teamviewer, it's free and best software I used for both Laptop & NC.
But you cannot use your PC to remote your NC via teamviewer

What settings do you use to control netflix? I was trying to do this, but the slow framerate kills any attempt to control my desktop, that and the netflix buttons don't render, so I have to guess where I'm clicking.
Other than that I'd +1 to androidVNC, suits most of my needs fine. I'll have to check out unified remote though, looks good.

Androidvnc is set up as 64 colors (1bpp) with Force full-screen bitmap on Auto, with Zoomable Scaling.
Everything renders fine for me, including the buttons. Colors are a little off, but that doesn't matter when I am only using it as a remote. On desktop side I did nothing in TightVNC except make sure that it turns off my wallpaper, just in case.
i was using pocketcloud (rdp) but hitting the menu button doesn't work anymore: No menu, no virtual mouse
I use and enjoy Splashtop Remote.
(Tried to add a URL to the market, but weren't allowed to do so. Search for Splashtop Remote HD in Android Market, that should do the trick.)
Not entirely sure what you want to control - but look into DLNA apps. You can play your media (pictures, video, audio) and control any other DLNA app/renderer (blu-ray, etc).
"Play this video on my TV" or "go to laptop, stream this music to my Nook Color". It's pretty handy stuff.
Is it possible to connect my galaxy tab using HDMI or USB or any other connection to use it as a touch screen monitor with windows 8 PC?
Vnc viewer on Android and VNC Server on Windows.
Works on Wifi, USB(tunneled LAN) or (quite limited) bluetooth(PAN network)
Lifehacker had a good article on this.
