Hi, im thinking of buyin me one of theese nice x10 mini and I was wondering if anyone has tried the Citrix Receiver on its 2.55 screen. Can anyone tell me how good does it works? Here in Argentina I dont have the pro version available yet, but im inlove with this phone, but the Citrix part is the one thats holds me from buying it. I use Citrix a lot at work. Can anyone giveme a review of this?
Thanks a lot
The Citrix Receiver works surprisingly well, I've used it with the Citrix AGEE's.
The back end needs to be configured to support the Citrix Receiver, you cannot use the usual webpage like a PC as the Citrix Receiver application cannot associate itself with an ICA file.
There needs to be a whole new virtual server setup that supports Citrix Receiver.
There is some mucking about getting versions to be right and the Web INterface and Back End Citrix farm all need to play nicely with your CAG or AGEE.
If your organisation has it working for iPhone, then unless they have locked it down to the iPhone's signature only you should be able to get it working quite easily.
If it isn't working for iPhone then you are most likely not going to ave any success.
The only thing to remember once it's working is that it caches the application list, so you need to refresh the list if you add a new application.
Good luck, my experience of the Citrix software hasn't been a particularly pain free one.
Sweet!
At work there is ICA Cient Citrix access, do you know if theres any licence to pay or I can ask for it free of charge?

Hey there XDA.
i'm in the IT department for a big-time company, and we (obviously) have specific security parameters on our network.
Recently, with all of the talk about android tablets because of CES and other factors (i personally own a Viewsonic G-Tablet running VEGAn 5.1b) the team and i have come to wonder if we would be able to put an android tablet onto the domain the same way we would a regular old Windows PC/Laptop or a Blackberry phone onto the exchange server.
We use Citrix clients/servers as well as pc/laptops, and so far, as i've been scouring the market, i've been able to find a Citrix app, and a Wyse terminal app, which could be used to open VPN sessions on the server, as well as another app which allows an android device to be connected completely with Microsoft Exchange Server. ( touchdown http://www.nitrodesk.com/TouchDown.aspx )
So, i figured, where else would i go but here, to the most well versed android development website on the interwebs, to ask if you guys might know of anything at all, or if something could be done.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm kind of unclear about what you're looking for, from your post, I guess because there could be any number of interpretations, e.g.:
- Are you asking if an Android device could be joined to your Windows domain?
- Are you asking if you can "see" shares on your Windows machines from Android?
- Are you asking if you can RDP to a Windows machine from Android?
- Etc.?
Probably (I think) #1 above is "no", at least as far as I can see now (plus I don't know if it'd make sense).
The answer to the 2nd and 3rd are "yes".
For #2, either you can use something like ES File Explorer, or you can use CIFS Manager on an Android machine that has CIFS support.
For #3, Pocketcloud can do that (the one from Wyse), and there are a few more.

Thanks for the reply, and yes i was looking to concentrate more around number 1. If number 1 were to be solved, number 2 would end up working out perfectly, with no security risks (becuase the shared files are only available to domain devices or thin clients using the VPN/RDP services we have setup). I guess looking at it from another angle, we would probably be able to (theoretically) limit a user's access capabilities on the tablet so that a general user could still be able to access the file shares using VPN without creating a security risk...
as you can see i currently have a whole lot running around in my head, and i'm not even sure if i'm mkaing it sound like english... T_T
I use my Zpad for work, the business apps I use:
Touchdown (for exchange, would like spell checker though)
File Expert (access shares)
Xtralogic Remote Desktop (works VERY well, better than PocketCloud and worth the $25)

It sounds like you're looking for something like PAM authentication capability from the Gtab. I know that there are products that do that for *nix, but I'm not aware of anything specifically for Android. Then again I think that there are public domain implementations, so it might be possible. Sorry that I can't be more help ...

Did you ever figure out anything more on this? We are looking at the same thing right now, and it'd be great if you found any more info out
Has anyone been able to successfully use Citrix on their TouchPad? It's one of the features I was really looking forward to, being able to access my work's citrix site from my tablet.
Any information on how to set up the Citrix Receiver?
Any information on if it's possible to install the Citrix ICA Client onto the TouchPad so I can just launch from the web browser?
There seems to be zero information on the web for this so hoping anyone here could help. Thanks!

There is zero information because there simply is not a WebOS client for Citrix ... yet. They have clients for Android, iWhatever, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Windows, Linux and osX so far.
Who knows, maybe a resurgence of WebOS will interest them. Otherwise, Android for Touchpad is coming soon enough (if you're into that).
@nunjabusiness
But the CITRIX Client (Receiver) is available and should work. The question is, how it will be configured. The same client I am already using on iPad and have no problems. But the version for Touchpad seems not to work.
I would like to help you but ...
Where did you get the Citrix Receiver? I'm here in France and I find it nowhere !!!
The Citrix Receiver for WebOS is in the HP App Catalog (at least here in the US). I haven't been able to get it to work, as our Citrix env has two-factor auth and isn't accessible directly from any of the Receivers. On my Galaxy Tab I was able to use the Receiver to launch the .ica file that gets downloaded (using the mobile FF browser), but the browser on the TP doesn't appear to download the .ica file properly (inside of it is a redirect instead of connection parameters), so there's no possibility to launch the Receiver manually with that file.
I went as far as to put UbuntuChroot on, and get the arm-based Receiver for Linux, but that segfaults when run. If I have a chance, i might try pulling the plugin off of my Atrix Webtop and use that within UC. I'll report back if that is successful.
I picked up LogMeIn Ignition from the Amazon Market when it was on sale this past weekend (still $15). I was wondering if anyone had experience using it over webtop. I have heard some folks using the web app via Firefox in webtop just fine.
Getting a laptop dock for Christmas and have never used webtop before. Excited to give it a try.
FYI the laptop docks are on sale at AT&T, 99bucks new and 75 for a refurb.
If you're using the webtop you can use Logmein through the browser and don't need an app.
I haven't tried it so I'm not sure how the performance is, but that's how I'd do it.
Yeah that's what I've been reading as well. I might have to break out the HDMI cord and see for myself before the laptopdock gets here.
Please update and let us know how this works. i have the mobile app and use it all the time for several computers. I have a lapdock on the way and was wondering how well it worked or if i was going to have to use the browser version. Thanks for testing this.
Looks like Ignition via WebTop is a No-go
Well I gave LogMeIn Ignition a shot on webtop (via HDMI) and there are a couple of reasons I believe everyone will stick with the browser log-in version.
1. Mouse controls are very hinkey - even if you toggle the settings it's difficult to click anything (I was using my phone as the mouse, but I think results would be similar with a physical mouse or the laptopdock trackpad.
2. The resolution is cruddy, and the resolution controls in ignition didnt do anything for me.
Well there's our answer - for now. If anyone tries this on their laptopdock before I get mine please let us know how your experience is.
You could've picked up Team Viewer for free & the service is free on your PC also, it does everything that LMI does but free (for non commercial use)......PLUS it works for Linux

+1 Actually, TV does much more than LMI free. File Transfer for one, which I HAVE to have.
Has anyone used TeamViewer with just hdmi mirroring (Not LapDock)? Right now the smoothest and quickest way I've been getting Remote Control is just using Ignition directly on the phone...since it seems to be the least laggy and more precise when navigating. The next best is using the hotspot to my net-book and java web interface logmein. But that's a hassle because I have to undo my static IP settings on my net-book every time to get it work correctly with hotspot. Maybe TeamViewer via hdmi would be a quicker solution?
Would have to set up TeamViewer on quite a few computers just to try it...so who's tried them all?
Thanks

Googling around I see the original Transformer can do a remote desktop with a Windows computer. So I ask...
How good is it? Is it very choppy or smooth like you are really on that other computer?
And do you have to be on your home network to access it or can you be somewhere else and access your home computers on the internet?
I'm wondering this just because I'm not 100% sure this could be a good laptop replacement, but I could just access my Windows 7 desktop on it and it work well, I'm getting the Prime ASAP.
I think Splashtop, from what I've read, is what you want. Supposedly the best and fastest. I believe as long as home pc connected to Internet, you can access it anywhere from prime as long as it has a good connection also. Get splash top HD for android tablet. Then get free splash top program for pc. Supposedly a very easy setup, basically one click n you good to go. The prime client will automatically find the pc version and connect.
it's fine depending on what you want to do with it.
not fast or 1:1 mapped well enough to play most games, but to access files, even use productivity apps to a degree (i've made small changes to illustrator files) is pretty handy.
Sounds good. I won't be playing any games or anything like that, just want it for MS Office mainly and some other programs that won't be available on Android.
The laptop I have now if still perfectly functional and works great but I love the portability of the Prime. If I could just leave this laptop on a desk and use my Prime to access it whenever I need that would be perfect.
I'm so getting this now, can't wait.

Honestly, tons of apps to remote connect to your desktop.
Try also logme in (free and paid version, but free should be enough) and Teamviewer is also excellent - especially once you get used to the mouse pointer, very precise.
Teamviewer is completely free.
I am actually looking for an RDP client. Anyone can suggest a good one? I have iTap on iPad, but since that is going on a shelf to collect dust, I need something for Prime.
splashtop is also free as asus includes it in the tablet (they call it something else, myasus or some stupid name, but it's splashtop)
splashtop has been the best (for me) out of the few that i've tried.

This would be ideal. These other apps that send images are not in the same league as a true RDP client.

I use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient&feature=search_result ... it is a bit pricey but I use it for work so it was totally worth it. It is seamless as an RDP client. Just make sure you use a physical keyboard or a software that has all the keys you need without switching back and forth (such as A.I. Type Keyboard)
Is the included Splashtop that Asus bundles in the regular Splashtop or the Splashtop HD?
i'm going to assume the HD variant since they list comptability with the TF101 on there...
Splashtop is the only one I've used that properly utilised the Transformer's keyboard dock, brilliant app (original Transformer that is).
I'm using Splashtop HD, I think the included splashtop in the TF101 is the regular version.
Anyway splashtop HD is a wonder. At first I tought that was going to be a headach to setup, then I tried:
1) Install Splashtop HD on your computer (it automatically update)
2) Install Splashtop HD on your tablet.
3) Log into both with your regular google account
Done.
It find automatically your devices everywhere on wifi and 3G.
If you re on the same wifi network as the computer you re accessing it's blazing fast almost no delay. Browsing the web with the real chrome browser at full speed on a tablet is a joy by itself (and make you realise the huge gap there still is between mobile device and desktop computer in terme of browsing speed )
If you re on over the internet there is more delay, depending on your connection both at home and currently but it's still usable for quick files transfere, small correction. I do some tweeks on Maya (CGI software) that way and it's really convenient to be able to check and redo some rendering that happen home when you're at work.
I dont know Splashtop, seems to be very nice. But Teamviewer is also excellent on every platform!
I am partial to Logmein. I support my customers with it. It's completely free on PC, but if you want to access it from a mobile device, you need to fork over $30 for the Logmein Ignition app. Their ipad app is pretty nice, and I test drove Android app on Samsung Tab. Great thing about Logmein, is that it does not require any tinkering with routers, or dynamic DNS.
what if i was in china, could i access my pc from there? what about youtube? could i access vpn on my asus? is there any apps for that ****?

I would suggest a VPN service. There's a monthly fee, but it gives you full access to the web. And I believe it should work with "Great Firewall of China". I personally use StrongVPN. Service is something around $7/mo and works quite well.
This page has setup instructions for almost every device: http://www.strongvpn.com/setup.shtml
Anyone try Remote Desktop Client from the market?

I think the one who already linked to it earlier in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20126208&postcount=9
tried it.
I used Logmein Ignition for Android. It supports (connecting to) a system with Multiple Monitors. Allows you to scale the screen to the default of your Transformer, with a dialog to switch back and forth between monitors.
I had to pay again Ignition for Android, to go with the one I use for Windows.
I've also surmised that SplashHD is mainly designed to allow you to shadow HD movies being played on your main PC, being i/o'd to your Transformer. Supports one monitor, and navigation in the window is a pain.
I use SplashHD religiously for Hulu+ until Hulu gets of their deadweight asses and supports the Transformer directly.

Hi, I bought a cheap tablet on aliexpress, a bmxc brand. It has good specs and works fine. My Father is 93 and has nearly lost his eyesight. I want to give him the tablet so he can use google talkback and do things with it e.g. play music. As he is 500 miles away I want to be able to control it remotely to help him with it. I have tried quite a few things and nothing works, MS remote desktop doesn't work, airdroid doesn't work. Teamviewer doesn't work because there is no "quick support" app for my particular tablet.
I'm a programmer but have never done any Android development. Does anyone have any idea of what it would take to write a Teamviewer quick support app for my tablet?
Also does anyone know if Android has any generic way of programmatically generating a mouse click/ finger press on a screen. It seems like it doesn't otherwise there wouldn't be any need for a device specific quick support app for Teamviewer.
