I've been searching around for this for a while, and haven't come up with anything google or xda or otherwise, however, if I am blind, enlighten me please
I am looking for a way to remote desktop my android phone (atrix) from my honeycomb tablet. Preferably over LAN, as I only really do it at home but not really close enough for bluetooth, however with bluetooth I could make do. Something like what the atrix can do with the dock would be nice.
Any Ideas?

I'm wondering how well it plays with our Evos. There is also an android app released for it.
Yep we sell em at best buy all the time and I was able to snag one with accomedations through my job. Its amazing how easy it works and you can stream right off your hard drive to your phone. Just turn it on, creates its own hotspot and you connect to it. Its great.

that's great, the comments I've been reading on Amazon are generally negative, they all complain how the iOS app is nothing but a giant alphabetical list of all the music and other media, not divided into albums or artists etc.
How good is the Android app? I'm mainly interested in stock music and video apps on Evo, can they connect to this drive seamlessly and fluently? Does it appear like a network server to them?
well download the app and get a work around it. The interface isn't as clean as I'd like, but it gets the job done. You actually turn it on and then connect to it through your networks settings like your connecting to a network. With most things it'll download for a second to stream but then play right off the hard drive.

Saw it the other day and realized that with real use, the battery is probably going to be toast in under 3 hours....
i just got one of these. the battery lasts pretty well so far. the best thing about it by miles though is that it's built from a tiny linux server running on an omap3 cpu.
you know what that means right?
i'll give you a clue.

I had one of these for exactly one day. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would not. At the time I was using an Acer tablet that had a USB port, so I didnt really need it anyway.
But I will say that it worked horribly for me.
I've been wanting the air stash, uses SD cards and is pocketable(size of a flash drive)

Hey guys!
So I love my Nexus 10... but I don't know what to do with it!
I watch videos and read pdfs on it, but these two don't really take up much time.
I wanna use my Nexus for more things but I don't know what!
What do you guys do on your Nexus 10?
First world problems... why did you buy your Nexus 10 anyway?
Start shifting your PC tasks over to it. Web browsing for one. This forum, for that matter. A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you'll be surprised at how much productivity you can get out of it.

You can text from it. I've seen several people recommend tablet talk. You have to buy it, and I've never tried it before, but the principle is to text from your tablet. I might try it when mine gets in today

Google Voice is free, and allows you to text mobile numbers.
I duct taped my Nexus 10 to a Swiffer today and mopped the floor with it.. It also makes a great spatula for getting fresh baked chocolate chip cookies off the baking pan

But then you have to change your number to a GV number, and doing that would be problematic for me. Am I right in thinking this?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Change what number? Your tablet isn't a phone. It links to your GMail account, and you can create a new phone number that can ring your devices on making a new account. If you mean texting people with your actual phone number then yea that might be an issue, as it shows on their phone as your GV number.
Wouldn't it use a new phone number for the texts?

I literally lol'ed when I found out that my N10 couldn't run Xbox SmartGlass and a couple of other things (yes I know I can sideload the apk). That's just silly that out of the box, my phone can do **** that my tablet can't, despite it being a larger screen, newer OS, and Google supported. Goofy.

Blame Microsoft, its their fault what devices they allow to dl their apps. I agree it's retarded, it took forever for them to even support Nexus 7.

Microsoft is weird with their apps man. I hosted the Smartglass Apk for Nexus 7 users twice on mediafire and both links were killed off by request within an hour.. MS went around pulling walled garden shananagins.

these sound pretty useful.
do i need a specific app for these functions?
Is that possible?
Im at the work, and dont want to be holding the phone when doing something. Can I stream the screen to PC?
Not 100% sure if I know what you're asking, but Airdroid might be the thing for you. It lets you perform a variety of functions on your phone remotely from your computer (it doesn't, however, show you exactly what is on your phone's screen; it has its own interface).

Yeah, Ive read about that program, but thats not what I want. I want it like a remote desktop.
Similar to teamviewer, but instead of controlling PC-PC I want the same with Android-PC.
And I need the screen to be visible =)

I use droid VNC server, but as previousely told, it is really slow.
Any news on ones that have been updated and recognize this phone?
All the ones that I have on S4 and HTC One won't work on this phone.
I'd love an app that would let me program a series of blasts. It takes about 6 steps to turn on pip in my samsung tv.

That's really unfortunate. IR on these phones is really a useful feature unlike gimmickry such as a fingerprint reader.
That's one thing I miss about the gs4. The remote app was much better. It combined all 3 remotes into one where I didn't have to switch tabs to control cable or tv power or volume on my A/V system. The channels controlled the box, volume av and power all 3

Lg already released SDK for remote app. I emailed the developer but he mauled that only few people interested in this app.
I also noticed that my s4 remote works better. I have to have my g2 pointed directly and at the right angle to get it to work properly. I was hoping it was an app issue and could just replace the app.

Have you made a custom remote in the app? I did and built it exactly how I wanted it. I made it learn each button and now it controls each device in my entertainment center on one remote. It's awesome! Pic attached.

I tried to make a custom remote for my TV/HTPC, and teach it from my harmony. But this was not working good. Sometimes it didn't register button press, but biggest issue it refused to send same command twice. So impossible to use volume and navigation buttons.
So I tried to setup my PJ, facing the phone agains my gain 1.1 screen nothing worked, then I found out I had to point it directly at my PJ for it to work (all my other remotes work facing the screen, and all my equipment is behind me). At that point I gave up rather disapointed.
Is this a software issue ? Is the IR too weak ? IR uses so little power, it seems stupid to save battery on a weak IR.
I'd be willing to say it depends on the physical aperture size. The HTC One has great range and tolerance to off axis use, for example.
Look at the opening. (power switch) The S4 is much more directional, for example.
I've done the learning thing from another remote, and it's learning it correctly... but the button doesn't do anything. like power won't work even though it learned power. weird.

Hmm, that's weird. On the custom remote that I attached earlier, I taught it functions from 3 different remotes which included a Harmony and it works perfectly. Power (from TV), volume (from av receiver), channel (from dish network dvr), guide (from dish network dvr), etc.

For some reason I never investigated the remote app further, can't wait to add a custom remote and see how it works.

I thought the same thing when I did mine. But I think I was covering the IR with my hand or something. The remote works good but the IR signaql isn't very strong. maybe a firmware update will fix it

eh..mine is for an RCA surround unit that literally no remote is able to control except for this ONE i found for my PS3 that does bluetooth. that remote works fine, but there;'s something wrong wtih it and it eats batteries in like a day, so i don't use it. i get up and control the entertainment system lol old school style...
but from that remote i had my G2 learn the basics..volume, power, etc...and it says "okay, learned, on to next button" but it just won't work when i use the G2.
In my opinion, the HTC One has the best TV/IR app. I didn't like the S4's app but in comparison to what we currently have, I guess it's not so bad.
