See this (Splashtop HD is the best):

Try Teamviewer. It's free.

Splashtop HD comes installed with your prime, you just need to setup the server on your computer.
Go into the mycloud application then hit my desktop on the left

+1 on the preinstalled mycloud. it is splashtop

I have been a longtime user of the paid app GoToMyPC for remote access to my desktop computers from my various laptops, etc. Just recently, they made an app for the Androids. I installed it and it worked fine - on Honeycomb. The upgrade to ICS broke it.
You probably wouldn't want or need GoToMyPC (it's expensive), but as a business tool it's great, very fast, and secure. I hope it doesn't take them too long to update the app to run with ICS. I will be one of the users.

I used Teamviewer. It's simp and free.

Teamviewer is also awesome and even better is that its free

i tried the splashtop that comes with it but it would never connect to my computer, even though it saw it. maybe i'll have to try it again.

Did you install the streamer component for Splashtop on your PC? It will not connect without it.

Remote view one android device from another

I've been searching around for this for a while, and haven't come up with anything google or xda or otherwise, however, if I am blind, enlighten me please
I am looking for a way to remote desktop my android phone (atrix) from my honeycomb tablet. Preferably over LAN, as I only really do it at home but not really close enough for bluetooth, however with bluetooth I could make do. Something like what the atrix can do with the dock would be nice.
Any Ideas?
Are you rooted? Vnc viewer on one and server on the other would work

Printing on the Prime

How do you print from the Prime and what software and printer do you use? I am thinking of buying the Prime, but I must be able to print emails and web pages.
Many thanks
It looks like Wi-Fi Direct (a new feature on ICS) will allow printing using a Wi-Fi compatible printer, but there are also a lot of apps that do this (ie CloudPrint).
Where do you find this?

I use PrinterShare (in Market). I had this for my old tablet (Viewsonic Gtab) and it works well. My old HP LJ4 has a JetDirect network card, so I don`t have to have a PC sharing to use it.
WiFi direct is the feature he was talking about. Something thats supposed to be baked into ics.nothing to do with a seperate app.

Exactly - if he had a clue he would know that you do not search the market for something that is supposedly a built-in feature of ics, so his witty insight is pretty much useless. Wi-fi Direct was mentioned as something new in ics, does anyone have any additional details on this?

On my phone I use "PrinterShare Mobile Print" combined with a Brother 2070N printer. My computer doesn't need to be on or have anything installed since my printer is connected directly to my router. The app simply allows me to print pretty much anything from my phone. I got it free during one of Amazon's free paid apps of the day. It's kind of spendy otherwise.
I haven't tried it on ICS or the Prime yet but it works fine on an Evo Shift and a Nexus S 4G.

Use search. Google is your friend.
The FIRST rule of XDA is.....
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Torrent

My TFP is coming in tomorrow, and I'm stoked. I've been stuck using my girlfriends computer, so it'll be nice to use something other then my cell phone for internet and what not.
I'm not sure how torrent programs run on the Android OS. So my question is which program runs the best and what kind of performance can I expect of it being that it's running on a mobile platform.
Thanks,
Spartan

TTorent in Market, the lite version has a limit of 250kb/s if you buy the full version for 3$ you can unlocked the speed to anything you like. Also other than it freezing my tablet once an awhile on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (haven't used it on my prime yet) its a solid app.

Do you have the option to chose a directory to save the torrent in. I.E. a external hdd?
You can't save any file to a HDD on the prime as it has no USB port but I would suggest adownloader as its free and has no limit
You have two options for a usb port.
A) An adapter made by Asus to be plugged in the charging port.
B) Use the Dock. Which has a USB port.
And do these two programs work as well as a pc version?
Adownloader works good, no major problem.

+ 1 its the best
ADownloader works well, but I don't think it handles magnet links.
I'm currently using ttorrent lite and it doesn't cap me at 250. Never froze on me and it allows for feeds and automatic downloading :-D.
Tmobile g2x with Phoenix Blood.
Asus transformer Prime ICS with root.
aDownloader is the best one!
It freezes your tablet for some moments if it passes above 2-2.5 megabytes download, but you can cap the dl speed in settings.
ADownload
I using aDownloader and its pretty good. Sometimes i do have issues like it not actually starting a torrent. But other than that find a torrent with high seeds and it has no problems at all. Couple of advanced settings as well make it that bit easier.
Would be nice to get a tablet version of it though. Would make it easier and more user friendly.
I use nzbleech, I download the nzbs from nzbmatrix, download straight to my tablet and then unrar with unrar pro. This also helps with the issue of copying 4+ gb files making windows explorer crash on my pc

Is there a setting I need to change to be able to download torrents? I've tried atorrent, ttorrent, and aDownloader, and none of them seem to be able to start downloading. I use private sites, and don't have any problems with any other computers on the network. Thanks!
I've tried Ttorrent but had to stop using it because I had letters sent to me from my service provider about Copy Rights laws:/ I guess I had it coming.
aTorrent works well. It takes a while to access the trackers and get the d/l started. Any torrent program you use is going to fetch a torrent download. Their system flags when a certain number of them are d/led for certain ISP's. You can use certain programs like peerguardian to act like an adblocker for snoopers. The ISP's don't care about the pieces you d/l, but the torrent file. It causes problems even with linux distros and other programs that are torrented to save server space and traffic.

You are talking about newsgroup binary downloading. He wanted information about torrent. That's not the same.
But I agree, I prefer using newsgroup...

It wasn't from my ISP. A third party was informing my ISP that someone from my IP address was downloading illegally. In the letter had the torrent movies that was downloaded, date and time too.
Edit: I may have forgotten to set the Encryption to "Forced" back then maybe the reason why.

2-2.5mb d/l? That is awesome! I sit 10 feet from my router and can't get over 300kb d/l on my prime.

use phone keyboard as Bluetooth keyboard for prime?

I have an HTC desire z and I was wondering if it was possible to connect my phone to the tablet via Bluetooth and use my phone as a keyboard and touch pad for the prime?

Not that I know of...you should start coding.
Yes you can! There is a free app called tablet remote, lets you do that and much more. Very good imo install on on both tab and phone and you can use phone to control prime and also other way too.

[Q] Broken MyDesktop within MyCloud?

Hi, I just heard about splashtop and the built in mydesktop app within MyCloud. The problem is whenever. I select "start here to scan for all devices" nothing happens.
I tried market updates.
I'm running the latest official OTA
I am rooted but not unlocked
I have not done any flashing what so ever only rooted
I have a Asus mycloud account and logged in.
I also have the windows streamer app running on my local network PC
I don't have a firewall.
Am I not doing something right?

Enable UpNP on your router (or look for the ports and forward them to the correct pc)
plus, you also got to run the PC software of Splashtop in order to find computers.
Thanks, I ended up buying the THD version that came out today and it works.
I had the PC service running already. Router was setup that way too.
The myCloud myDesktop version is still having the same problem.as described in OP even though the THD one is working. I'll keep trying to figure out out and update this post if I find a solution so someone else might get help if they should encounter this problem.
