so i did a search but i'm not really sure how this category of app works. im basically looking for an app that will let me do stuff on the desktop,through my phone. for example, i could be lying on the bed, and i use my phone to open a page on the desktop and play some music(through the desktop speakers). is this even possible?
Team viewer

perfectly possible with a droid
you need a wif though.
The best app I would say is win remote. It needs an apk to be installed from play store and a small app to be installed on your pc. the rest is simple

thanks for all your suggestion guys. have tried out pocketcloud and teamviewer(phonepc is so expensive! these 2 are free.) and i think i like teamviwer a tad better because of the mouse system...its more "touch based" if u get what i mean. awesome! :good::good:
phone my pc....
that is the name of the app....
Enjoy and say thaks
SplashTop is pretty good as well
as long as you have a google account and you register it, you can actually connect to your PC through 3g network anywhere. I feel that it's kind of hard to use at the moment, but they are coming out with a new version soon so hope that helps.

For simple control, there's always VNC (and there's definitely at least one viewer for Android). If you're still running GNOME, it had (has? I don't know about GNOME 3 *shudder*) an integrated VNC server in the form of Vinagre. Else there's x11vnc. Unlike with Team Viewer, though, you get to have the fun of port forwarding etc. yourself if you wish to use it to control your computer outside of your home network.
Log me in is by far the superior alternative. Multiple PC's from anywhere.

So i didn't see any threads about this and thought i'd post on it. I use VNC every day at work and i love how easy it is to connect to my laptop at home. but what if i want to access my laptop or my work computer and i'm not home? VNC Mobile is the answer. Pretty sweet little app that works just like the regular VNC Viewer. View is scaleable from 1/5 of the sever to 1:1 ratio or even 200% zoom. you can push ctrl, alt, and function commands as well. pretty sweet free app.
check it out here: http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS5673359231.html
download here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128549
I have had all sorts of fun with this at work. I would walk to someone's machine, see them locked out, log into the server from my phone and unlock them. Also at home I use VNC to control Winamp and do other basic PC functions from the phone. On the road I use Browseamp and Shoutcast! to control and stream music to my phone and using a homehacked adapter play and charge the phone in my truck.
Have you compared this to RealVNC's WinMo beta client? That's what I'm currently using and it's the only one I've found that worked.
Post a link please....

If you're looking for a straight up RDP, the Xtralogic client is good, stable, and fast. Of course, the full one is also expensive, so take that for what it's worth.

+1 for xtralogic... I use it all the time and love the full screen view.
swyped from my Vegan 'flavored' Gtab...
Another +1 for Xtralogic. Use it and PhoneMyPC quite a bit. Both work well, but Xtralogic is a bit more impressive. PMPC will connect to multiple PC's though.

PocketCloud
I've been using PocketCloud Free rom Wyse. Seems to work fine for RDP to Windows machines.
Logmein Ignition,
It's pricey though
TeamViewer is working great for me and it's free for personal use. You get it from their website not the market.
+1 Xtralogic (paid version). Worth every cent.
Remote Desktop App
I'm going to try the Team Viewer and report back....it has worked GREAT for me laptop to other systems and didn't realize that it was available for the tab.
I've been using PC Remote Controller - but you have to be on the same WiFi network to use it.

Hi there! Which rom are you using. I'm using Calkulin's. I just installed the Pocketcloud and it does allow me to connect. But when I try to login, the keyboard does not pop for me, thus not allowing me to login.
Not sure what I'm missing.
I've got LogMeIn Ignition on my phone, gtab and 2 PCs and its awesome
I dont know about any of the others, but ive been a long time teamviewer supporter, have over 50 names on the list of regular repairs via phone or PC.
seriously, team view is sooooooo useful for me, all the time, everyday.
+1
+1 for LogMeIn Ignition. It's got all the features as TeamViewer and costs $29.99 compared to $749 for a single TeamViewer license.
Of all the ones I've tried, XtraLogic is the best. The only downside is the app crashes frequently if I connect to a VirtualBox VM that has RDP enabled (not via OS, but via VirtualBox). Just letting you know before you shell out $$ for it. Hopefully they fix it soon. It would be nice if they had a trial version, but I can't seem to find one on the market.
Does anyone know if Remote RDP Lite or the paid version ($10) works on the G Tab? I use the free one on my phone and it works pretty well.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.toremote.serversmanager&feature=search_result
Not only does Remote RDP work on the Gtab, but I use the paid version all the time and have found it to be the best RDP application on Android by a good margin.
That said, I hereby commit to jump ship to the first person who releases a client with RemoteFX.
Splashtop allows 3d and videos to be played.
Works fine here.

The keyboard on pocketcloud doesn't auto launch. You need to click the "settings" and click keyboard icon so you can log in.
My project group for our senior project is developing an Android app. We are pretty much done at this point, but we have to present our app on Friday. We have done a practice presentation with a demo on the emulator, but we would like to present it on my phone.
I was wondering what is the best/easiest way to put my Android display on a PC so we can do our presentation on my phone the way it was meant to be shown.
So it would be my phone connected to a laptop, laptop connected to projector, and laptop displaying my phone's display on the projector.
This way we can also use our GPS location and use the app to take pictures which are both important parts of our presentation.
Do you have a HDMI out port on your Android device? That would work nicely.

Since you said you are developing apps, i assume you've done so using eclipse, and if not
then download it. install ADT plugin, make a bogus project,
OR if you already are working in eclipse, open your project, deploy on phone using Ctrl+F11 when your phone is in Debugging mode with ADB daemon running, open DDMS window in eclipse, on the top bar click on "Device" and then on capture screen.
oops, sorry thought you just needed pics for presentation. Remote ADB is your only way then
iDisplay. It works on Mac and PC according to there description. It cost $4.99 though...

Afaik the idisplay was meant to migrate your pc's entire screen onto your Android phones display?wasnt?
as an alternative monitor i say
i remember my LG p970 having a PC app called ' LG on screen phone '(LG OSP) that since i was(am) #### about Smartphones networking solutions, i tried installing it on my low-end toshiba laptop, and it was damn OK and working like a charm likely with 30Fps or more.
then after i ve tried many cross-platform apps like mobo made one for my Htc and sony devices,and neither of them could saticfy me with their stupid qiualities and low frame rate.
i yet have that application. But the question is whether can a dev handle some modification on it to be use on any kinda android devices?
huh... devs are asleep..
The Free app of the Day on Amazon is "Splashtop Remote Desktop"
The app is supposed to let you link to a computer and access an files or programs on that machine.
The app seems like it might be useful but I would like to get your feedback on it.
(I am not associated at all with this app or its developer, I just thought it was neat and would like to get more opinions on it)
Thanks!

It requires that you install a client on your machine to use. I would recommend using the built-in RDP for Windows. There are many free RDP clients out for android that work, such as 2X, and do the same thing without installing extra.
If you are using a mac check out the computer specs because it only works on lion. I use jump and love it

While reading the reviews listed for the Amazon Appstore for Splashtop, something that struck me as concerning was the lack of encryption. The reviewer did a great deal of research and said that Splashtop should have it available, though not when that date will come.
Personally, I use the free version of Pocket Cloud from Wyse for my remote desktop needs. It works well and uses your Google account information for logging in.
I've used Pocket Cloud and Splashtop on OS X Snow Leopard, so the poster saying it only works on Lion is wrong. Splashtop's encryption is loose to speed the program up. Splashtop is great for accessing your computer from your own LAN but insecure if you are on another network. Splashtop is cool, might as well give it a try, but I prefer Pocket Cloud overall.
my bad

Sorry about that, I just saw SL as well. My mistake.
New to android and I am looking for a good(free) Remote Desktop app to connect to my Win7 computer through my own wifi network.
I am wanting to be able to remotely control a video switcher that can only be controlled by a hardware panel or a PC program.
Thanks
download getjar's app from getjar.com go to the gold apps and find splashtop and download it. works like a charm.
I would also suggest team viewer. This thing is amazing and will also allow you to control someone else's computer via your computer or phone. Works perfectly and just requires you to be on the website on the connected computer.
EDIT: I just used this app from my phone the other day to fix a friend's computer. All they had to do was get to the website and I took control of the computer on my phone. I was half a city away and it worked perfectly.
The shows I am in we most the time don't want there to be an internet connection. So It sounds like teamviewer won't work for me.

Can TeamViewer be used within a local network (LAN) only?
You can establish Remote control sessions on your local network directly by using IP addresses or computer names.
By default this feature is deactivated because software firewalls may open an acceptance dialog when configured this way.
To activate the LAN mode in TeamViewer full version and Host module:
In the menu click on Extras and then on Options
On the General tab activate Accept incoming LAN connections
When selecting accept exclusively it will display the IP-address of the computer in the ID-filed.
A connection can now be establisher using the IP-address or alternatively using the host name.
If you want to use RDP you can't go wrong with this
http://www.appbrain.com/app/remote-desktop-client/com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient
Yes it is $25 but it is one of the few apps I consider worth buying. It even works over different VPN connections.
+1 for team viewer. I fix my families computers back in chicago, im in california. Works great on the phone to.

Teamviewer works just great I used it both connecting to a mac and pc.
Now i am wondering if any of the other apps have a non mouse based control? So I can just touch the phone screen as if it was a touch screen on the computer. The program I wish to control is just a GUI that looks like the hardware panel.
But I am sure that is not a very easy thing to build from the programing side and have it work clean. Maybe a screen share with a TUIO mapped over it? Just thinking out loud...
Thanks for the info so far everyone!

Wow... that is so cool! Just tested it out on my laptop. Best thing is now I can control my mom's computer remotely when she needs tech support which will make it MUCH easier when she calls for help after her evening cocktail and wine with dinner on top of not knowing what I mean when I say "desktop". lol.
It's a little tricky since when you're controlling the cursor you have to move the opposite direction to get to another part of the screen than you would if you were flicking a regular app on your phone. Just have to get used to it. I guess that's what Shermanpat was talking about in the post above.
Wow, I'm shocked nobody plugged pocket cloud. I love it. Just the fact that it gives you a useable mouse(right click, click lock, etc) should put it high up on the list..

I believe there is a free trial version.... but no, it's $25 for the full version!!! Crazy I know, but my work is paying for it. We use a Terminal Server Gateway and Remote Web Apps, and xtralogic is the only app that allows me to access that. such a great program!
