I use Logmein (free) on my home desktop each day to check email & do some work remotely in Oracle.
Coworkers have tried Ignition on their iPads but give it a thumbs down for useability.
Has anyone tried it on a CM7 NC? Thought about getting one of the BT mini-keyboards to use with it, but paying $$ for an app that might not work gives me pause. Anyone have experience with it?
I'd be curious to know, too.
I use LogMeIn both from my PC and my iPad -- with an external keyboard, it's usable on the iPad. I can't help think that the 7" screen on the NC would just be too small, though.
Its usable but expect lag and delay on screen refresh. If you plan to use it for a quick file grab then its ok but don't expect to be doing anything intensive.
Alternative
You may want to consider Team Viewer. At least the last time I used it, it was free.
With it, I has some funny behaviour with artifacts being left on my NC screen after I closed windows on my Vista machine. I suspect that it was an issue on the Vista box, but I'm not sure...
I've used Team Viewer before, but much prefer Logmein, it seems to function a lot better & has more options. Plus don't you need to have someone at both ends to provide the remote session access code info for TV?
Also wondered if it would be really useable on such a small screen, I guess for simple email reading it might work , but for drilling thru Oracle screens, it might be a bit of a stretch.
Anyone know if there's a free trial period, or do you have to buy it to use it at all first? Would like to try it out, but don't really want to part with $30 if it fails.
I highly recommend Phone My PC as a Logmein alternative.
It's only $10, and you can do pretty much everything on your connected PC. You can set the graphics quality, and at it's highest settings it looks just as good as sitting in front of your pc monitor. You can also hook up as many pc's as you want. I have been using it for about a year on my phones and now my nook. I really like it.

This looks pretty interesting! So how is it for mousing around on remote screens?
I'd need to switch across two monitors. The price is definitely right.

It's great, you can tap around the screen or you can bring up a mouse cursor to move around. I have not used multiple screens with it. But, from what I can tell switching between monitors is as simple as clicking an icon, and picking your monitor.
excellent, will check it out!
How about Pocket Cloud. It is free for one pc and is pretty easy to configure and use. I had it on NookieFroyo 2.2. and it worked fine.

Have been reading users comments in market & not seeing a lot of love , especially since it got a recent update. bummer
perhaps this:
http://www.splashtop.com/
Teamviewer seems to be the best free app out there. I discovered Splashtop Remote a couple weeks ago and was amazed though. It looks clean, and is powered by your GPU so you can watch movies and games (over wifi at least). Only thing that bugs me about it is lack of customization in the controls. There is a demo app to test drive it, and the paid version is only a buck.
How do you use TeamViewer without someone at the other end to enter in the ID# & password? I've never seen where you can login with it remotely otherwise.

Worth a look, but says $14.99 today. Still a good deal, saw another wanting a $10/mo. subscription!
Splashtop is pretty good too.

I use Logmein Ignition for personal use and it works well. But for business purposes, I prefer a more secured option; hence I use RHUB remote support servers. It works well.
Hi all,
I was hoping someone could offer some advice.
I am due to be working away from home for half the month and at the moment my set up at home consists of a beast of a gaming rig. I don't want to fork out for an expensive gaming laptop and thought the prime might be a good option for me.
So a few questions...
1. How do the remote desktop applications fare on the prime? Essentially I would need to use the prime to wake up my pc at home, control torrent downloads and maybe play a game with low graphic demands like football manager (i'm not expecting BF3 or other FPS...could an MMO work via remote desktop? like TOR?)
2. With regards to the "cloud storage" do you get 2gb with the transformer prime? if so can this also be accessed via a pc at home? So I could for example...
Remotely download a movie.
Put the movie file onto the cloud storage.
Access the movie file from my prime so that I can watch it in an area without wifi.
3. Is there a way to add a 3g dongle to the prime?
4. I am due a phone upgrade in March. I currently have a HTC desire which has stood the test of time for it's 2 year contract. Money is a little tight so I was considering getting my phone upgrade and sticking it on ebay to cover most of the prime's cost. I figure I only need a phone for calls and the built in sat nav and the prime can do the rest. also my HTC desire can only get me £75 from mobile recycling places.
5. As I have to wait until March is there a tablet I have overlooked which will be released in March that would be superior to this...basically if i am waiting until March should I hold out for something else?
Thanks in advance for the replies everyone!

Funny, any chance of getting a serious answer though?
100+ views and no proper response?
am i doing something wrong?
1 the preloaded software only works when the laptop is already in but it is smooth enough to play something simple
2 yes download movie in PC upload top cloud storage them you can watch it without wifi our already some services allow that
3 no 3g dongle it's a wifi tablet
4 get the nexus a you can find them cheap and feet ics on them
5 tablets well be the same by March all quad core all same resolution that's my view anyway all you can do its wait and pick on personal opinion

I meant already on* so the laptop has to be open already so you can't turn it on from the tablet and go into the my cloud app then my desktop there is the software to do this

I use Teamviewer, it runs the computer just like I was in front of it, never tried major gaming on it though. I don't think it would work well since most of the login apps out there decrease colors and other things to enhance performance.
2. With regards to the "cloud storage" do you get 2gb with the transformer prime? if so can this also be accessed via a pc at home? So I could for example...
You get 8 gb, and yes you can access/sync it from any computer. I use it to sync my work, Prime, and home computer files
Remotely download a movie.
Put the movie file onto the cloud storage.
Access the movie file from my prime so that I can watch it in an area without wifi.
In order to do that it will have to be downloaded first to your prime, but it can be done.
3. Is there a way to add a 3g dongle to the prime?
Don't know

right now it really is a waiting game to see what other tablets come out by then, if any. Probably the Ipad3 will be out, and I would guess 1-2 more Tegra 3 tabs, but they may hit production delays just like the prime did, no one really knows, right now it is a crap shoot. The great part is this tab is going to be competitive with anything that comes out next year for the most part.
Thanks in advance for the replies everyone!

Ok, my msg is too short....
You can control your PC over the internet using TeamViewer. No, you won't be able to play an MMO or do other major gaming on it. I guarantee you that TOR will be a slideshow, you'll be able to gather nodes (if you log near them) and manage Crew Missions but that's about it.
If you are running Windows7 you will need to use a Magic Packet to wake your PC to manage torrents, etc. I believe there is also an Android app that will remotely manage Mircotorrent (aka uTorrent) remotely without requiring you to manage your PC.
You can share your files via DropBox (or similar) as long as you are mindful of the 2GB limit.
No better tablet has been announced for March release yet, and if it were (given the industry standard of badly slipped release dates) I wouldn't count on it. Now if one had been announced with a January release....
You can remote in using Splashtop HD to remote in. It transmits both video and audio. Just have to install remote viewer software on the pc.

In relation to the 3g single question, Asus feel that as android phones can tether then peeople would just tether to their prime. Obviously they are assuming that everyone with a prime will already have a smart phone with tethering available, this is a stretch.

wow some fantastic comments thank you all.
I think there has to be a limit to expectation here. I'm not expecting the remote desktop to run things perfectly but it won't be it's primary function otherwise I'd just get a laptop.
So £500 then...I wonder if carphonewarehouse would do a deal if you buy a contract from them.
splashtop HD or built in splashtop in mycloud in mydesktop should work fine for video or gaming. just make sure to load reviewer on to PC. pretty simple setup. load reviewer on PC. load on tablet. enter names and passwords on both devices and your good to go.
another thing to look at for gaming is OnLive. its out for Android. allows you to play PC/console/Indie games through the cloud on OnLive servers. response time is fastest out there and basically no lag. feels just as if you natively playing the game. there are some great games up there like PC/Nvidia optimized Batman Arkham City, Homefront fps, Metro 2033, unreal tournament(PC version), etc.. the games look and play great on the prime. no loss in quality basically. the app is free from marketplace. free to make an account. you get to play all the games with a free 30 min. trial period. you can flat out buy the game but best seems to be the bundle package. for $9.99 a month you have unlimited access to 100's of top notch PC/console games. I was playing Darksiders, through OnLive, on my prime. no lag at all, graphics looked sick. definitely a cool experience and great deal considering the caliber and number of games they have up there.

NICE! I never needed a reason for onlive...I'll have to check it out.
I was wondering if there is an android app that will allow me to remotely log into my PC and control it, much like we do with technical support from one pc to another when people are just inadequate at following directions verbally. Sometimes I forget to put things in my dropbox ect and would make things alot easier if we could do that from our tabs.
Thanks in advance

I have used Splashtop Desktop remote desktop and it works reasonably well.
EDIT: Splashtop HD is actually included free with the TF Prime, it is inside of "My Cloud" app which is why I missed it before (thanks fuzzer!)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.splashtop.remote.pad
You can't really use applications like Adobe Photoshop through it, and it is difficult to interact with Windows 7 on such a small screen, but it works pretty well for accessing documents and files that are on your PC.
What kind of activities are you looking to do via remote desktop?
2x Client
https://market.android.com/details?...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50dXguY2xpZW50Il0.
Its free and works really well. I personally prefer Remote Desktop because I use it to remote into servers at work but it is kinda of pricey (but in my opinion totally worth it)
https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS54dHJhbG9naWMuYW5kcm9pZC5yZHBjbGllbnQiXQ..
Edit: Both of these work with the built in Windows Remote Desktop that comes with Win 7 Pro and higher (and Win Server)

Yup I was actually trying to edit my post to reflect yours but it gave me an error.
Splashtop HD is included with the Transformer Prime, however it is hidden by the name "My Desktop" until you actually launch the app.
Considering the included version of Splashtop has been tweaked a bit for the Transformer Prime you would think that they would make it work more seamlessly with the keyboard dock.
i've learned not to set my expectations too high with the TP...it seems to be a work in progress....
hoping it will live up to expectations someday...

Not to hijack the thread, but I haven't had any major issues with the TF Prime. The only issue that kinda bugs me is how far apart touchscreen events are detected as this makes it harder to draw and write onto the tablet. Apparently there is a software setting that can alter this but that kind of tweak is beyond me at the moment.
In general I think that Android 4.0 is a work in progress. While it is a massive improvement over both 2.3.x and 3.2, I have found myself running into rough areas where the OS doesn't behave in a consistent manner with its own rules. For instance the lack of Apps2Sd support or the fact that the Battery History doesn't deliver detailed usage. Maybe 4.1 will be better

I can barely begin to enumerate the ways I use my Flyer. Let's begin with what I'm doing right now: surfing the web and commenting in internet forums. Thanks to by portable Bluetooth keyboard, this is as effortless as it was on a larger notebook.
Reading books: I use the Barnes & Noble app, which means I can highlight important passages, too.
Watching movies: especially when I'm on a long flight, the ability to whip out the flyer and watch on of the 10 or so movies I've loaded onto an SD card is great.
Playing games: I've gotten hooked on the whole tower defense genre, but there are plenty of other fun game types also.
Watching TV: I'm a Hulu+ subscriber, and the Hulu+ app works great for me.
Skype: I enjoy it, but so do my kids who get to see Grandma and Grandpa on a regular basis that way.
Taking notes: don't use this feature as much as I though I would, but I do still jot down notes on occasion.

Much more enjoyable reading on a tablet than 4" phone. I study on it a lot (PDF, presentations) and also the pen is really nifty for drawing some ideas up on the go. I like browsing from my bed too
I just got a view recently and debating between the kindle fire. I mainly wanted to read books and light Internet browsing. Now that I have it I'm kind of in the same situation as you looking for more ways to use it.

Are you running a Flyer or a View? My understanding is tha for some braindead reason Hulu+ doesn't support the View.
Also, I had the Hulu+ app installed since I was on Gingerbread. So I never had to look for it on the market while I was on Honeycomb.

I use a Dell branded version of the iGo Stowaway keyboard. It is by far the best (and most compact) bluetooth keyboard I've used. Fits in a jacket pocket with tons of room to spare, and folds out to nearly full size. Keys have beautiful tactile feedback and nice travel. Only compromise is that the number keys are placed on the same physical key as the QWERTYUIOP keys, and you use a Fn key to produce them. You get used to it quickly.
Only problem is that the keyboard is no longer manufactured, and iGo Stowaways go for upwards of $200.00 on eBay. However, the Dell branded model (which is physically identical) are much cheaper. Got mine for $70.00
As for my workstation at work: the Android Citrix app connects you to a virtualized environment, so my "workstation" is really jut a virtual machine, so it's on all the time. What's cool is that I also have access to virtualized instanced of Word and Excel etc. Basically, your workplace must be using Citrix to host their VMs for this to work.
Blog post here, Market link here. $6.99.
Lucky Tegra 3 users.
UPDATE: Full-screen support works if you have a NVIDIA GPU that doesn't use Optimus switching functionality. This was actually done a while ago, and works with all versions of Splashtop (regular, HD, THD). You can read about it here.
Just bought it! Can't wait to test it
Just tried it out and video runs almost perfect! Games was a bit too laggy for me though, but i suspect this beeing because my prime does have a little weak wifi. Anyone get games to work full screen?
Sorry to hear that. I can't test mine yet 'couse I'm at work and Prime is at home.
I'll report back ASAP.
So what are the advantages over the version we already have installed?
Ugh, another version of SplashTop. Why isn't this part of Remote Desktop HD I wonder. I have so many SplashTop apps by now that there's no way I'm going to pay them even more for something like this.
When I load up Skyrim it still asks me to use windowed mode. I thought this allowed direct access to the screen and can run full screen?

So thought I. Doesn't go full screen here either. There are so much lag in games that they are totally unplayable anyways, how did it run for you? Not very smart to launch it to prime only when it has so much wifi issues.
Yeah, I'm confused as well. I bought the HD version, then figured heard on hear there is a slightly less (and not quite as high-horsepowered?) version pre-installed, and now THD? What does this version have that HD doesn't?
They already got $7 out of me. Unless there is a big reason, I think I've already given them a fair amount...
Anyone else frustrated by the Sshift Kkey Bbug on the HD version? Ii Rreally Hhope Tthey Ffix Iit Ssoon... (Makes it pretty tough to get some serious work done)

Well on my LAN it ran awesome.. then again my computer's pretty tricked out so maybe that's the case?
I haven't tried with my 4G hotspot yet
I thought with the THD version they figured out some fancy way to virtually connect a controller to the computer, this isn't the case, all they give you is game profiles, which are keyboard buttons mapped to buttons on the controller.
You get ONE profile when you buy the THD version, the Skyrim one, it works, but the movement keys are mapped to WASD so you cant control your movement speed.
They don't even provide us with the mapping software, you have to "request a game" and then they will map the controls and create a new profile, thats stupid.
I mean you could go into all your games and map the keys to use the Skyrim profile, that would work but what about racing games, you don't have a axis for movement just WASD, you slightly pull the joystick left and you are fully pressing down A.
Only positive is that they have proper mouse emulation, you can connect up a mouse change the mode to have the remote computers mouse follow yours and use left click and right click..
Can anyone confirm if this is more stable than the version that came with the prime?
I really like the principal behind it but connection would just drop fairly regularly even when next to the router and server wired in.
Also, is it true like they showed in the demo, streaming video is flawless, as though your at the machine?
Cheers guys, I too have been optimistic and really looking forward to the THD version, is it what we expected?
Does this version have remote desktop via the internet?
THD version is optimized for Tegra3 chip. the HD version is just like a tablet version. that was out before tegra3. now tegra3 has a version specifically for us that makes the most out of power or whatever. people experiencing lag on game, if your computer don't at least meet minimum requirements, lag is to be expected. if it does meet specs and you have a fast internet connection then you should be good. can't wait to try this out.
I'm hoping this include this in the next update for us. only fitting we should have it since we the only tegra3 device on the market right now. plus this is the version that really should have shipped with the prime.
Wow, great. I just bought regular HD because I got tired of how unstable the connection in the MyCloud version was and how we weren't getting any updates to fix that.
Why bother including any apps if this is what happens?

in the market description it says yes. it says you can access from anywhere or anytime or any place. as long as your PC at home has the desktop splastop streamer installed and running connected to internet, you should be able to access it anywhere in the world from your prime. as long as prime getting internet connection itself. and a decent one at that.
Great, I had just purchased the HD version last night!:/ Sheesh...
so how fast should my Connection be to even make use of this version? My max is around 17Mb/s. Usually i'm getting speeds between 10-15Mb/s. DSL sucks...
