Hi,
I connect my GNex via MHL to my TV. I also have a Nexus 7. Is there any possible way to use my N7 as a remote control/bluetooth keyboard to control my GNex? I've found one possible solution: Run a VNC Server on the phone and a VNC Viewer on the tablet, but this is kinda laggy.
Thanks for your help
Search on google play for tablet remote,
its free and pretty good:good:
Exactly what i was looking for! Thank you very much!!
Edit: This doesn't work with YouTube and many other apps. Do you know an alternative?
Yep, droidmote is better and you can use it as a mouse... but it is paid

thank you! best spent 2 € ever! better than 30 € for a bluetooth keyboard!

Hi All,
My dream, one that I hope Android can help me fulfill is to hook my Galaxy S2 to a HDMI tv, fire up remote desktop and by using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, effectively have a full desktop available.
I am yet to try hooking up my phone to a tv as I am waiting for the MHL cable, but issues I envisage are the following:
1) When the screen is mirrored on the TV, the RDP program will not use the TVs display show 'full screen'. I have installed some RDP applications and they allow you to select the resolution so perhaps this will resolve the issue
2) Are there any RDP applications that allow bluetooth keyboard and mouse entry?
This is the hold grail for me!! Many a time I have stayed in a hotel for work or holiday and not had my laptop with me and wished for such a solution. Combine this with Wake On Lan and it's perfect!
I hope someone can help!
I can't believe i'm the only one that wants something like this to work!
RDP programs should just take any inputs from your phone and pass them onto the remote machine so BT kb/m should work ok IMO. Not sure about the mirroring but if it is fullscreen on the phone then maybe the MHL cable will upscale for the TV.

I'm waiting for the cable before I can try. In fact I would have had it by now but my girlfriend wants to buy some stuff for me for my bday and I believe she's already ordered it!
I should get mine tomorrow and I'll try it out.
Thanks! I'll check back on thread!
I've been doing some reading around and have found that BT keyboards and a mouse will work no problem.
I tried my MHL cable with the Android VNC viewer app and allows you to fit to screen but does not output at the tv's native res.
I have had similar experience with Remote RDP, it just mirrors the phone's native resolution. Hopefully this kind of thing will be supported soon, including internet browsing at 1080p.
Thanks guys, that sux!
I still haven't received my cable so I can't try for myself, but have you managed to make it work to a workable output on the TV?
would be interesting if we could port some parts from the atrix (webtop) over to this phone. I actually enjoyed that feature.

Perhaps, this kind of program may help to format the resolution?
Am I missing something? If you got a bt keyboard and bt mouse and the phone to tv hdmi, don't you have it all? Why would you need a remote desktop or vnc software?
Well, you'd have it all except for USB, which you might be able to live without.

If it could pump out the full Remote Desktop resolution then you will effectively have a full desktop through your phone rather than just have the phone's software capability.
Fair enough you can surf the web and play a video but what if I want to use full excel or Word, and multi-task like on a desktop.
I've still not received my cable so I don't know whether the browsing the net with the phone's browser is legible on a big screen.
In my earlier post I complete missed off the applications name - LCD Density - haven't tried and I don't know if it's compatible with the SGSII, but sounds like it changes the native resolution of the phone.
Try Splashtop as your vnc app it is the only one to my knowledge that can stream audio almost perfect and video pretty good over vnc and works like a charm on the atrix.
Did you find a good BT keyboard that works well with the Evo? I'd prefer one with a built in trackpad, as my goal is to use this on the road (ie, airports, trains, etc), and would like to have an all-in-one keyboard/mouse.
The one thing that I haven't had time to tinker with have been HDMI goggles that can give a virtual display. Has anyone tried these w/ the Evo's mini-HDMI output?
I don't have an Archos but I have a Galaxy 10.1, Asus Transformer, and a Galaxy S phone. I have been trying to figure out how to strap the 10.1 to a headrest and remotely play movies for my son in the back seat and I'm hoping the Archos software would be the key.
Has anyone ripped the Remote Control Server APK from this rom to be used in other tablets/phones. The controller is on the market but the server side is not
Or if someone knows a way to do this that would be great. (Note: DLNA is nice but its a full PUSH and what I want to do is control the media already on the tablet, or use the Sprint 3g on the 10.1 to stream netflix.
I have tried Server VNC for droid, and it breaks on tablets.
Thanks for all your help!
Maybe someone with an Archos and another Android device can analyze what is sended by the other device to the Archos (Wireshark for example)

I am fairly sure this is not an APK, as sin not a simple app. it is a service baked into the system code of the ROM. This kinda of app is not overtly simple to add to android even IF you had all the source to the ROM, which no one does for HC yet.
The only problem is to know what is said on the network. After that, creating the app to communicate with it is "easy".
Am i to understand that you want to stream video to Archos from your Asus/Samsung ?
No, he wants to control his expensive Samsung 101 via a remote.
Something that comes included with any cheap Archos Gen8 ;-)
Expensive
Yes, its more expensive then the Archos but its 3g via Sprint. So I can stream, check email, watch IP cameras for restaurants that I am responsible for. But when traveling with the kids its nice to put in a headrest strap and control it.
Right now my son who is 3 will either tap the screen and freak out because the movie stopped playing, or if he is holding it he ends up stuck in some app. This will allow my wife or myself to start other movies, netflix streams, etc..
Headrest monitors for cars are not cheap (unless you get some really poor generic ones) and once the kids hit 5 years old they will not want to watch a linear movie, they would want to watch and interact with the web. (Humm or maybe I'm the biggest kid in the equation )
Right now I can DLNA push a video to the tablet using BubblePNP (Works great) but its annoying when my phone wifi sleeps or phone calls seem to mess with the connection. Remote control will keep each device truly separate. How many times I have walked out of the car to get gas out of range of the DLNA sharing is annoying.
Here you go...
I Hope this is what you are looking for...
Ripped out...Have Fun!
He doesn't need the remote, he needs the receiver for the Samsung.
I saw the words "remote" and "software" in the OP.
Yes, but he's searching the server side of the remote software ^^
Looks like the best way to get the Archos remote server app is to unpack Archo's firmware and take the server app out.
I found some linux tools that can do this, e.g. using aos-tools
However, my linux skill is only novice level at best, so I don't think I can unpack it successfully and find the remote server app.
Anyone happy to give it a try and share the file?
I see the instructions to unpack can be found here: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=The_aos-tools_Toolchain
I was looking for such app and Archos seems to the the only company which have a Android remote app right now... I am interested to install the remote server app on my Android phone or tablet and see if it works.
for control the tablet from an android phone you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
Anyone find a good remote desktop software that works with ICS? so far pocketcloud is acting funny.

I agree also
Splashtop is not showing in my list of apps but I see it in titanium backup. I can't even run it from TB. Anyone else see this? I'm running ICS now

Under MyCloud>MyDesktop should be the slashtop app. So far it has worked pretty well on both my mac and PC.
I use Remote RDP by Yantao. There is a free version, which I used and it was great. I can't remember which version it was, but I think I shelled out for the enterprise version (~$20), mostly to show support. The ~$10 version and up have the best features (obviously). My favorite is the ability to attach the storage on my phone as storage devices on that computer through RDP, without any additional software or protocol. Great for when I need stuff from my document library at home.

I use pocketcloud like everyday. Never had any problems with it.
+1 more for splashtop. Its fast enough to play games.
Another great free app for accessing your network is SHARESFINDER.
https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zY2FuLnBsYWNlcyJd
"SharesFinder is intended for scanning wireless local networks for shared resources (SMB, FTP, HTTP). You can explore SMB resources directly by SharesFinder, HTTP resources with Android browser and FTP resources with another tool supporting this protocol (FtpCafe recommended).
SharesFinder is a simple analog of Windows "My network places". Also, it can be used as SMB client."
This one works great on a tablet and supports RDP (Windows Remote Desktop) and VNC and is really cheap compared to other Remote Desktop apps (0,99€). You dont need an extra program on your PC, which is always nice!

no one has mentioned TeamViewer! It's great and free!
I use Teamviewer. It's free for personal use and works fantastically on my Prime.

LogMeIn Ignition works well. But, it is $30.

Best remote desktop app I've used to date.
Can any of these apps be used to control other tablets? Like could I control or play my Ipad apps/games through any of these methods?
Remote desktop by xtralogic works well.. paid app but works good ... figured i would add to the list
Also Using Teamviewer without any issues.
Use 2x Client.. it works great and it's free
ive been looking nd looking for one that works with right click and mouse middle button (external blutooth mouse) but no dice. Any recommendations?
Team viewer as well. love controlling my PC with my Razr, Prime or NetBook.
Hello, this is my first post here.
I am new/noob to Android/Mobile devices, i have a Transformer Prime-LOVE IT!!!
I was a lucky one and had very few problems with mine.
I did have a GPS and low WIFI problems, but i did the "Pinch" along the edges and it got my GPS working fine and it doubled my WIFI speeds.
I bought a Sony Blu Ray player (model #BDP-S580) and hooked it up (Samsung 50" Plasma) and all is running fine.
On the box it said use "Media Remote" app for a remote control.
So i went to the app market to download it, but it said it wasn't compatible with my Transformer Prime.
Question-Is there a app that i can use to use my Prime as a remote control?
Thanx

i to would like to know this. to the op, what is the pinch thing you did? i did a search and couldnt find anything. thanks in advance

Hi All,
i am trying to find an app that will allow me to remote my PC from my Prime but that will also work with the docking keyboard mouse pad.
what happens till now in apps like logmein and team viewer is that i see my PC courser and my asus courser as well which means i have to touch the screen in order to move my PC courser around
is there any app you know that can work with the asus pad mouse?
Have you tried Unified Remote? You'll need the PC version also.<--- This one is for Media Center PC's and has several kinds of remotes for that, please see my edit below.
https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5SZWxtdGVjaC5SZW1vdGUiXQ..
EDIT: I competely overlooked what you were trying to do LOL... Was late when I saw your post. X2 like posted below works pretty good, and a buddy of mine uses Remote Desktop Client and says it works very well for him. He has bought the pay version which costs $25 but there is a trial version to try out. He said X2 worked OK but RDC works better for him. There are several out there, you just have to play with them to see which one works best for you. Here is a link to Remote Desktop Client...
Free Trial: https://market.android.com/details?...HJhbG9naWMuYW5kcm9pZC5yZHBjbGllbnQudHJpYWwiXQ..
Pay version: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS54dHJhbG9naWMuYW5kcm9pZC5yZHBjbGllbnQiXQ..
X2 does what you want through the standard winsows remote desktop

Erhh, have you tried the application that comes with the Prime in MyCloud?
It's a version of Splashtop, though I must admit I use the newly released Splashtop THD now.

Don't think I have used LogMeIn Ignition with the dock, but believe that left trackpad button along with trackpad is same as touching screen.
Use that to move cursor.
