Just wondering if anybody has had any luck getting the 2X remote desktop client to connect with their desktop/laptop? I'm on stock 2.3.4 and first I connect to my workplace VPN with the native android VPN, then try to remote desktop to my windows 7 work computer. I get the blue "Windows 7 Professional" screen, sometimes getting as far as the "Welcome" message, but then it just hangs there.
If anyone has got this working can you post what android rom you're using and what version of windows you're connecting to? Thanks... if it works with a non-stock rom this may be the thing that gets me to go away from stock...

Check out the teamviewer app on the market it works great for remote desktop. I use it all the time. You will have to install the teamviewer software on your computer. It works great and it's free.

Thanks. I may try Teamviewer but it sounds like VNC. The thing stopping me from using VNC is my work laptop has a dynamic IP. With RDP I can point it to my computer name as long as I'm connected to the VPN. One post on another forum says when they switched to another tablet they could not remote desktop any more. I'm going to flash CM7 tonight and see if it works on there.
No luck on CM7, same issues trying various RDP apps. I can VPN then RDP to my work computer from my home computer every time, so I doubt it's a problem with my work computer or network.
Wann say also that I really enjoyed the time I spent with CM7. Just its camcorder focus was blurry and home videos are my number one priority besides work.

as it shows on the title,is it possible to connect my android based device to my PC via wifi hotspot and control it from my phone,its like teamviewer but without having to connect to the internet ,i.e the connection would be between the pc and cellphone directly.
i hope my point is clear.
Sometime like RDP will work over a LAN, but having never used a wifi hotspot I'm not exactly sure if the connection would be correct. Connected to the same router a phone would be able to use RDP to connect to the local IP (usually 192.168.x.x) without ever going through the internet.
If I tether my Droid 3 and the Windows 7 laptop with bluetooth this method works with any app that supports Microsoft RDP. You would also need to be using a Windows version with RDP host support to get this to work.
thanks for your reply
I'm looking for a remote desktop app for the Android that uses (or is able to use) a bluetooth connection to connect. Or if that's not possible, a local wifi connection, ie: direct from my droid to my computer's wireless card, using only my local area connection.
Does anyone know an app that will do this?
It needs to give me the full screen of my computer, so nothing like Gmote or any remotes used for media centers will work for this project. I'd also like it to keep my screen on the computer while I use it, instead of locking it up.
Basically PhonemyPC but without having to use the internet to do so.
My reasons? I'm trying to connect to and control my Carputer running Centrafuse in my Eclipse. So that I can leave the car running, go outside of it, and pull up the full screen to push buttons and control the car's media center (and more) or even from the back seat. You know.. for the ladies Without having to send every command over 3g to verizon's servers, back out to a tower, and back into my carputer, slowing things waaay down. Thanks!
Well you could use Microsoft RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) if your carputer is running Windows XP Pro or 7 Pro/Ultimate. Bluetooth support is better on Windows 7 as it has a newer stack. RDP host functionality is not included in home edition versions of Windows. The biggest advantage of Microsoft RDP is it doesn't require any extra software on the Windows host and is relatively easy to connect to. For the Android device, just search the market for your any remote desktop program that supports RDP. A disadvantage to RDP is that it sends the host system back to the Windows login screen when a remote session starts. This is a security feature so others can't see what you are doing and I don't think it can be disabled.
You could also try VNC, its similar to RDP and will work on other OSes, home versions of Windows, Linux, etc.
Either bluetooth or wifi tether (which is basically ad-hoc) should work. If the computer can surf the internet from the phone then it must be getting a local IP assigned.
Thanks for your suggestion.
However, this doesn't seem to apply yo what I need as A. It's for a mac (I have a PC) B. it doesn't seem to be an actual live streaming remote PC type of program, more like a monitoring program that sends you screenshots and data every few minutes, and finally.. from what I can tell their app is for ipod only, no android.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but thanks anyways
have you tried 2x client rdp/remote desktop?
EDIT:
after reading more of what you are trying to do...if you just want a media center remote, use myremote donate. it gives you keyboard and mouse control, as well as a full media center remote. works off wifi. you would need to download the server app for your puter off their website, and their client app connects to the server app to allow control of the computer. I use it all the time as a media center remote control. works awesome!
Try gPad, it's awesome. I hope that's what you're looking for. =)
I can connect using internet discovery but that's really all I can do. Once I'm on my home computer it freezes up after the first click. I can't do anything. This is the problem.
I have two desktops (Windows 7 64bit) at home and that same thing happens on both.
Running the remote desktop on my home network is great. Very fast and responsive.
I have Kaspersky Internet Security running but I don't think that's the problem since I closed that down and the issue remained.
My video card is EVGA GeForce GT440 is that matters.
Any idea what the problem could be? Anyone else have this?
I tired e-mailing Splashtop support but I haven't received a response in a few days. Really want to get this fixed.
Works fine for me over the internet, bit laggy sometimes but thats it.
What sort of internet connection are you accessing it from? Is it a tethered phone connection, public wifi, are you behind a corporate firewall?
What exactly do you mean by it freezing, is it the prime freezing up or just the desktop image it is showing you? It sounds like it might be an issue with the internet connection and/or your router to me.

I use this mostly from my girlfriend's place using just a basic home set-up, the internet over wi-fi. But I've tried it from my home using the wifi-hotspot on my phone to test it out. Same problem.
It's not the tablet freezing up, can use that like normal. It's the desktop image, I can't even open a program on it.
yea, I got the same problem it started happening after the .21 update. I've email splashtop about it, but they have not recognized it yet.
So plz also email splashtop [email protected] and include the servers log file located here:
C:\Program Files\Splashtop\Splashtop Remote\Server\SPlog.txt
I'm hoping they'll fix it soon.
Btw. it splashtop using 2 pc's is still working fine remotely.
Have you been using remote desktop to the computer at the same time as Splashtop THD?. If so, reboot the computer. I believe when you miniseries the remote desktop window, Splash top only sees the blank screen of a minimized RDP window.

Good to hear I'm not the only one I guess and it's not a problem on my end.
I didn't send my e-mail to that address, I'll send another one to there. Really need this fixed too.

When I say remote desktop I'm referring to Splashtop remote. Not using the Windows version at the same time.
Splashtop support and I have sent a few messages back and forth. I'll update if any progress is made.
I have searched but couldnt find an answer, if I missed it please get me a link and close this thread.
Hey all got a quick question that I am hoping someone can help me figure out. This is all using the Prime with Jermaine's Milestone 5(AOKP)Rom.
1. I am using either Remote Dektop, 2x Client, or Splashtop Hd
2. Vpn setup using PPTP
My issue is I can connect to the vpn I have setup no problems, then try and remote desktop/2x client/ splashtop hd in to my works server(which is on 2008 r2) and I get an error that wont let me connect, it then times out.
I can use the same apps and a vpn setup on my phone HTC Sensation with Elegancia ics 3.6.5 custom rom and everything works like its suppose to, I can connect to the vpn and then use any of the apps to connect remotely to the server and im on no issues.
Is it that AOKP cant allow this or am I missing something, I really need this for work as I hate taking my freakin laptop home Any help would be greatly appreciated.!!!!
Hello,
i am searching for an remote desktop server for android ICS
I read on some old threads that for old android OS there was some app like webkey, that allow to control the android phone / tablet remotely via 3g
Does anyone know if there are some other app for ICS?
(i wonder if ICS has some remote desktop server built in in the OS, like windows, but i suppose it hasn't)
Thanks!
Bye

Thanks,
but i dont search an app to control the pc via tablet.
Instead, i would like to control the tablet (that i leave at home) with the pc that i have in the office where i work.
So i need an app to be installed in the tablet, that acts like the windows remote desktop server ...
Is this what you are looking for?
To control your PC from phone/tablet, use TeamViewer. Of course, you need to have TeamViewer installed in the other device as well. Dunno if the reverse (controlling phone/tablet from PC) is possible. Never tried.

Yes, i was looking for something like the VNC server link you suggested me.
But perhaps it does not allow remote connection (over internet)...

Hello,
finally i was able to remote access my android tablet (acer a500) by another android tablet (dell streak):
i rooted the tablet and installed a VNC server on the tablet a500;
i configured my wireless home router to enable forwarding port 5901 to the (static) ip address of the tablet a500.
Then i installed a VNC client on the other tablet (dell streak).
Now i can with the dell streak and 3g connection, remote access the a500 that i leave at home.
The 'remote desktop' works well, its nice to see the screen of the a500 as screen of the dell streak...
and when i touch the screen of the dell streak , i 'touch' in same time the screen of the a500...
the only thing i dont like is that the connection is very slow...sometimes i have to wait many seconds to see the answer of the a500 on the dell streak...
Bye!

thank you for info
Strange that there is so few such solutions. I'd imagine people would create apps for this just like there is plenty of those WiFi File Managers where you start server on the phone/tablet and move files using web browser on PC.
Maybe LogMeIn will finally develop something proper for remote controling Phones/Tablets, there is a need for this, I for example need to support a person in another country and I need to be able to at least see the screen remotely, not necessairly control it remotely.
access a server on a 3g wireless phone directly is almost impossible, this is not for technical reasons, instead the wireless operators blocks all server ports on mobile devices.
One way is to do NAT punch through, or use proxy, none of these is easy, so I don't really see servers that can accessed from internet.
Update: I have installed dynamic dns server and vnc server and that did the trick.
I assume this is still with WIFI, did you manage to connect to a server in 3g network, i.e., using ip address provided by wireless providers, instead of a wifi ip address.

Thats great that it worked but what software was used? "A VNC server" and "A VNC client" Isn't terribly informative!
Any names atall?
Hey guys, I have been looking for a way to control my CM 10.1 DNA through my PC (Windows XP SP3) and have tried a few things with no luck. I got android screencast working, but found that I couldn't operate the phone through the PC (and it was very laggy). If I might be missing something here, then let me know.
I also tried using apps like 3CX DroidDesktop and when I attempt to connect from my PC I get errors. I'll enter in the IP and port and I usually get an error that says my phone refused the connection. I've tried Real VNC, Tight VNC, and even just the browser. I'm a total noob at this so I apologize if this question has already been asked or something. And yes the phone and laptop are both connected to the same Wi-Fi connection.
Thanks for any and all help guys!
Edit: So I've gotten it to work through USB, and realvnc but I do not have the ability to control with the keyboard or mouse
