Droid VNC Server - Works great, but unexplained issue with pc keyboard - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if anybody else is having this issue, app works great (Driod VNC Server) - to access driod from pc - I cannot seem to type using the laptops or pc's keyboard.
I have tried countless VNC client apps both on mac and windows, nothing works.
Any input really appreciated. Haven't found much about it online or here.

Is there any program can control PC?

Hi, there
I would like to use some program to remote my Desktop....
I try to use Remote VNC Pro....but it didn't work.....
Anyone can tell me what can I do??
Thanks so much!!
remote droid is a pretty cool app from the marketplace. it essentially turns the phone in to a laptop style track pad. If your looking for something a bit more indepth then have a look on the market place
there are a couple of VNC programs, but none of them are brilliant.
Gmote allows you to remote control the media player on your PC and stream music to the phone
VLCMote allows you to remote control VLC if you have it installed on your PC...
there may be others.
PhoneMyPC looks impressive ?
Has anyone found these apps to be successful besides Gmote? I have tried every VLC remote in the market, set-up the HTTP protocol, and none has worked yet. I tried reading the developer's instructions to start it with command line but it told me the command was invalid. Thought it might be my firewall, but even disabling it did nothing.
anyremote
Did anyone here try anyremote? Using anyremote2html it should be possible to control various applications on the PC using a web interface. Unfortunately it did not work for me yet since no browser on the android was able to show the webpage containing the controls. I always get a 404 error with them. I have no idea why this is so. I can get it to work with another PC controling my first PC via any web browser. Does anyone know why the android browsers are not able to show that simple webpage from anyremote?
vnc4android does work fine for me (on my pc i have a ultravnc server with standard settings)
where do I get vnc4android? I tried a few of those vnc clients in the market. But they have trouble with correctly showing the desktop.

androidvnc works fine for me, using tightvnc on my pc. just change the port on androidvnc to 5900, altho lack of software keyboard is abit of a bummer.
The new version of GMote is excellent for the Hero. It allows you to use the Hero's screen as a touchpad and now also let's you bring up the keyboard to type stuff on the PC. It is very responsive and highly usable. I have a media centre PC and this means I have full control to complement the remote.

Desktop Emulator for Atrix?

During my Sony Ericsson P800 days, there is a desktop PC application where I can control the phone right at the desktop using a mouse and keyboard. The actual screen of the phone is shown right on the desktop.
Is there one for the Atrix? What is the name of the application and is there a "how to" procedure?
I'm experimenting a lot of apps. I might as well do it on a larger desktop screen than on the phone.
Edit: ..or should I have said "Atrix emulator" for the PC.
TeamViewer is aa great application. FYI, most applications are developed to work on more than just one particular phone, more like all phones that support some general software/hardware requirement.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I was hoping for a simple remote control for my Atrix. Several applications in the market are for the phone to control the PC but not the other way around. Teamviewer price is prohibitive to me. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
I'm not sure if there are any, but what you're looking for is a VNC server for the phone. Hope that helps.
No solution in sight
I found 2 solutions but none of them works on the Atrix
1. Android Screencast: http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
2. Droid VNC Server: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&feature=search_result
This is where Symbian phones are well ahead of Androids. I hope Android can catch up.

ScreenCast is working for me
Edit: I take that back.. it actually shows my display, but I can't click on anything with my mouse.. darn.
Use the Motorola "Phone Portal" that came installed on your phone.

does anyone have a working vnc?

I want to use my pc from my tablet to play runescape has anyone got any clue how?
The image quality/fps over a remote connection may not work too well for a flash game, but it might be playable. I have attempted vnc and remote desktop clients on android in the past, but my favorite is LogMeIn which is $30 in the market but has no monthly fee. LogMeIn works really well and gets around firewalls without any effort.

I was looking at that at one point..not sure...would be easier if this ran java lol
I use Vino (linux VNC server) on my netbook and access it using my Android devices using androidVNC. There's hardly any lag, and you could use that to play Runescape.
Both VNC and Team Viewer work wonderfully. I have both and regularly access my home pc with TV.

may help. They seem to use an vnc client called mocha (available on Market), and RealVNC on the windows machine. I haven't personally used this.
I use PocketCloud on the tablet with TightVNC server on the windows machine. The performance is good, but not good enough for games.

[Q] Citrix on the Touchpad?

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.

[Q] See & control device on computer?

This guy is running Windows 8 and is able to see an 'ASUS like' device on his computer. It looks like he can control it as well...
Here is a link to the YouTube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UpugJkgH8o
Anyone know what app he's using? Is this possibly emulated?
He says that if the page gets enough traffic, he'll offer up the details. I went through and tried to search for it on XDA but nothing matches the way his app looked.
Thanks

I know you can use ScreenCast to do that, although complicated and slow.
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
You can also use our VMLite VNC Server to install on Android, then control using a VNC viewer on pc,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
there might be other apps too
I was hoping the app he's using is different from these 2 and that it worked really well. Who knows... hopefully someone knows what app this is or the guy tells us...
Might be an external display, some android devices support hdmi cable, which connects to tv card on that pc
