I have a SGS 3 and often use 2x client to RDP into my Windows PC. Everything worked great until I installed the free Windows 8 Enterprise 90 day evaluation on my PC. Now, the app will connect, and the PC thinks it is being accessed, but all I get is a blank screen on my phone.
I tried this with every other (free) RDP app out there and they all do the same thing. What's happening?
Thanks.
I've experienced this too with mobile devices only getting black screen on rep. However, I've noticed from another computer I can get in. Also if I remote from a mobile device to a different PC then to the win 8 PC I cash also see. I suspect garbage drivers but still seeking an answer.

i am really tired from a problem with my hd2 i can‘t connect my hd2 with pc (( usb cable )) i did every thing and i couldnt recognize it i am really desperate can anybody help ?
Might
help if you mention what Windows/system you are running on your pc
the operation system is windows 7
Do
you have the Windows Mobile Device Center installed?
Have you tried a Disk Drive connection, under connections USB to PC?
I do know for a fact some people simply solved the problem just by using another USB port...
Might be worthwhile checking your firewall too, I believe some can block the active sync connection

thank you for your post i did everything you wrote the problem still my hd2 doesnt recognize to my pc i am planning to sell my phone because og this
Havent used WP7 yet, but in WM6.x there is something in Settings for USB connection - this gives you the ability to check a box that says (something like) Fast Outlook connection. If you uncheck this you will probably find that your HTC connects beautifully. So, again, trawl through your setup/settings and look for something that talks to USB connection, or PC Synch.
Hope this helps.
Uninstall all versions of Windows Mobile Device Centre then reboot, just install the latest update from of WMDC from Microsoft and plug your HD2 in.
It worked for me and I'd tried everything else.

I'm having the same problem also, but I am using Windows Vista. I tried just about everything the forum mentions its pretty frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and installing WMDC and tried different USB ports, also tried selecting a few of the different settings on the phone in the USB to PC. Does anyone know what possibly I am missing or not doing correctly?

I number of my friends had the same problem concerning the connection and when they did the above it fixed the problem. I suggest everyone give it a go.
Still having problems with this... I've uninstalled rebooted and installed and reboot WMDC and also messed with all the settings on USB to PC and tried every single USB port on my computer. I am running Windows Vista 64 bit version and still not having any luck getting this phone to connect via USB. Anyone have any ideas?
So I've been tethering with wifi no problem since I got the phone. I can not for the life of me however get it to tether via USB. I've tried it on two separate window 7 x64 laptops with the OEM USB cable with no luck. Made sure udb debug was disabled, made sure drivers were correct, tried rebooting both the phone and computers. I'm on the official tethering plan so that isn't the issue. Tried the MTU trick the Mac guys hander been using, still no good. When I connect the phone, it recognizes it as a network device, RNDIS, and says it can see the DHCP server, but it assigns some random 169 IP instead of a 192.
Anyone else having this problem?

Update. Called VZW and went through the normal insult my intelligence troubleshooting. They handed me off to moto and we repeated the same song and dance. They suggested I try the mtu workaround, which I had already tried. Then the guy pissed me off by asking "why do you want to use USB anyway? Can't you just use wifi?" I asked "you mean wifi, with it's known bugs?" He dropped that lol. He couldn't fix it, so he submitted an "engineering ticket". We'll see what comes of it I guess.

I can't get Verizon's USB tethering to work either. Verizon's Wifi hotspot works for my laptop but not the kindle fire.
I'm thinking of canceling my tethering plan since I got easy tether to work and then I use Intel's my wifi to share the internet connection. My kindle can then connect to the wifi shared by the laptop and I can even watch Amazon instant videos.
Verizon's wifi hotspot and USB tethering is a fail for me.
Well, I decided to tinker with it some more. This time I unrooted it, then did a factory wipe and lo and behold...USB tethering works. Haven't tried re-rooting it to see if that breaks it as there currently isn't really a strong need to root anyway. We'll see how long this lasts I guess.
Same problem for me with Vodafone.
Although Wi-Fi tethering is working like a charm, USB tethering fails on routing connections.
It can't resolve hostnames...
It's not a data plan problem, it is mobile equipment failing
Any new ideas?
Hi, I am also trying to use the RAZR's built-in USB tethering feature with no success on Windows 7 64-bit. The Remote NDIS driver from Microsoft seems to act very badly once the RAZR is connected... basically the whole "Network Connection" Windows function completely locks up.
I CAN tell you guys that this works perfectly with Windows XP SP3. I actually connected my RAZR via USB to a Windows SP2 machine that had RNDIS hotfix KB959765 appiled to it.
With that Windows XP setup, USB tethering over RNDIS works perfectly! So can someone tell me how things got so badly screwed up in Windows 7?
I saw this exact same failure when I tried tethering to Windows XP SP2 without the RNDIS hotfix applied, so are there still some unresolved problems with RNDIS in Windows 7?
I would suggest that you download "easy tether"... when.you run the app it will give you a website to download the win 7 x64 version... when both are running, and you enable USB tethering on the phone.... you will have no more problems....

Isn't there any solution without a software on the pc? Cause at my office I am not andmistrator and I doubt that they would allow to install such a software to use pc's internet connection for my mobile..
I wonder because my old HD2 with a andriod rom could do this without any software with any pc just fine..
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. =)
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.
Hi all,
Just bought my Nokia 8 the other day. Got it for AUD$499! from Harvey Norman - who was out of stock - but price matched by JB Hi-fi.
I was using a Samsung Note 4, which was doggone slow. Might be resetting that one and putting it up for sale - any potential takers?
My Note 4 used SideSync, which connected to by PC via USB cable. Sidesynced allowed me to see and control my Note4 on my PC. I can do everything on the phone from my PC - I liked sending texts and SMS for example.
There doesn't appear to be an equivalent for the Nokia 8. I have seen alot of mirroring apps that require screen casting, but none which allows connection via USB.
The question - what is the equivalent out there to SideSync (which is only compatible with Samsung phones. I've tried it and it does not work). I've enabled USB debugging. The Nokia 8 says SideSync keeps closing. I can see the phone from my PC as it's connected by USB - so I can see the files on the phone from my PC - but cannot see the phone's screen or do anything to the phone.
Thanks all.
Hi,
You could try AirDroid if you know, which it gives you the option to control the phone and send texts and many other things. The only thing which i don't know if it suits you, is that it syncs through the wifi network... You connect the phone to your wifi network, and from your pc you go to a link that the app gives you and scan the QR code and thats it...
Try it maybe it will do the job for you.

Thank you for responding. I really want a USB connection to the PC as going over the air through my companies WiFi I am sure will slow things down. I have looked at Apowermirror and they want you to pay to use it and it's UI is a bit clunky. There's also Wondershare Go, but there doesn't seem to be an app on the playstore for screen mirroring, though I did do this with my Note 4.
MyPhoneExplorer
Hello, give a try to My Phone Explorer. It's free and very straight forward I think. I used it without issues.
If you Google it you'll find a link from fjsoft, that's the right one.
Good luck.
Hello, i use Vyzor to cast the screen of my N8 on my PC by using the usb connection.
The application can be used as free but if you need some quality you will need the paid version.
