Hello.
I would like know if nexus 10 can really use the high resolution mode with dedicated application ?
Or is it always upscaled ?
Example :
I connect my nexus 10 to my work PC ( it can render 2500x1600) with vnc, And have then Windows rendered
In 2500x1600 ?
Thanks

I use 2x client to connect w my home computer and the high res of nexus 10 is great as there are no downscaling by the desktop. Also a lot of apps are now starting to take advantage of the native high res display so it is good.

Yes you can, I connect to my office server at 2560x1504. This is the correct resolution not x1600 as you need to minus out top and bottom pixel.
It does render it at 2560*1600 on my U3011 screen when using TeamViewer, so it's using it alright.
Status/navbar takes up some space though unless you go into fullscreen.

Upscaled? Only videos and pictures are upscaled if they don't have a high resolution version (speciall websiteS). Everything else is rendered beautifully at HiDPI or rendered at its original dpi. (small fonts)
And most everything upscales very nicely.. What's funny is some of the most well funded apps are the absolute worst at up-scaling.
I'm looking at you Zuckerberg.. Get this Facebook apps crap together. It looks like I installed Compuserve on my tablet when I use your app.

It looks like they finally fixed the issues with Splashtop HD and the 10.1. I want to know if anyone is using it and if so, how is it so far? I'm very close to buying it, but want to know for sure that it is working.
Splashtop Remote Desktop HD
"...** Validated for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Asus Transformer, Motorola Xoom, Acer
Iconia Tab A500, Acer Picasso, LG G-Slate, and others **"
I saw that in the market this morning. I'm curious if when you access your PC, if it does like other remote desktop type apps and actually shows on my screen at home when I'm away. I'd have to remember to turn my display off, but leave my cpu on if that is the case I assume.
I have it. works fine. I see almost no difference between it and the non-hd version though. hopefully they add all the features they have on the ipad soon.
Does it take up the full tab screen? Does it still change the resolution on the pc?
Has to be some reason for hd version.

So it doesn't support higher resolutions? I'm trying to decide between this one and Remote Desktop Client. It has great reviews.
I own it. It has the option to scale the screen to match the tab, or set it to 1280x720 to fit the tab. Works great, provided the computer is both on and logged in.
Unfortunately, on headless servers the software is useless because the client software requires a user to bbe logged in and active. When an RDP session ends, the software shuts down automatically and prevents login through Splashtop.

I have a similar setup where that issue affects me. I also wish it could zoom if you did want to use a higher resolution.
It is very fast, you could watch a movie from local network fine but with a little bit of delay.

yes, it does support higher resolutions.
The resolutions are
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 720
Best fit to this device
Native of the computer
So basically it does any resolution if you choose native of the computer.
Is there anyway to zoom using this version?

Good question - adding mine - any way to get it to rotate 180degs?

Any recommendations for this app? I've been using VLC for the past while, is this better?
I use this type of app numerous times a day to get info off my companies servers as well as use our company data software.
I have used this for the past 5hrs and im impressed so far. Works well. Maybe a little lag once in a while...but im assuming that's from spotty 3g service (tethered to phone).
I got this app yesterday so I could stream live TV from windows media center on my desktop. The video was surprisingly smooth. I would say it ran pretty close to 30 fps with some fps hiccups from time to time. The audio was great as well.
I haven't tried using VLC but if you're looking to watch other things than video files, this app works great. Other remote desktop apps come nowhere close to the video and audio performance of this one.
Ever tried 2X ?

What makes this better than free one like 2X ? Really would like to know.
Also I found a hack that lets windows home edition work like a terminal server which is saweet!
Even lets you connect console and have more than two users just like terminal server.
EDIT: ah I see now 2x won't play video over rdp... Window is black in player
Splashtop doesn't use traditional remote desktop protocol, it uses its own streamer that you install on the computer/server. I've never seen regular remote desktop or vnc server/client stream this well, especially with videos.
I have no experience with 2x but no video or black video window on client/secondary monitor is usually due overlay issues. Try changing video player setting away from overlay.
What kind of upstream connection do you guys have? Splashtop HD works amazingly well on my local network, but once I try using remotely I find it's performance leaves something to be desired. It works OK, but is generally slow and I wouldn't even think of doing any audio or video with it. My upstream is capped to around 100 kb/s or maybe a little higher, so I suspect that may be the issue.
Does anybody know of a solution that works better with such bandwidth constraints. I'd like to be able to remote in on my tablet and from my computer at work.
Splashtop is great on a LAN, but not as good over the internet. My cable (comcast blast) upload is ~3.7 Mbps at home, and the DSL download at work is 3 Mbps. And even then watching videos is not good. The audio portion is fine, the video portion is about 3 frames per second and less.
For watching video over the internet, Plex or Playon should be better. With Plex, you can adjust for your bandwidth. I think Playon detects your upload and adjust accordingly.
I couldn't get Plex to detect my server over the internet to test on my Gtab 10.1, works on a regular computer browser so it's not a firewall issue. Playon works fine for streaming. But I suspect your 100kbps could be problematic.
So between LogMeIn Ignition, 2X, Remote Desktop Client, and Remote RDP, which do you all recommend?
I plan to use it for repairing/diagnosing software issues from my house instead of having people bring me their computers.
I'm (generally) not that interested in watching video via remote desktop of any sort. It would be nice if I could use spotify from work sometimes though. Mostly I just want to have access to my appications (not to mention unrestricted internet access) on my home computer.
hey guys.. can you help me? why is it that if i connect my 80 g9 to the tv thru mini hdmi, it is not in full screen on the tv? any settings that i should change? thanks!
Because the g9 80 screen is 4:3 and your tv is 16:9, but when you open a video you should be able to watch it in 16:9 (1280x720 or 1920x1080)
havent tried the stock video player again because when i tried it earlier, its only black screen. but when i tried moboplayer, selected the 16:9 ratio, its still the same, not in full screen

Does your TV/monitor have any settings for HDMI? If output signal is in lower resolution it may be not upscalled to TV/monitor native
no it doesnt have settings for hdmi. all i can select is from what source and thats it.but when i plug my laptop thru hdmi cable,its in fullscreen
Tablet may not recognize what is the native LCD resolution or it may not support it (and uses highest available)
on my older Insignia hd tv, I adjust TV settings depending on source on my G9, some need no adjustment like Netflix but others like Ustream live streaming I adjust aspect ratio, mine has Normal, Zoom, Wide, Cinema.
some tvs adjust automatically and older tvs may not give a lot of choices. if you can, test on another tv
when you plug in your tablet, does it mirror desktop fully on tv or are there gaps? or is it just media/ videos?
this is one thing i didnt think about before i bought the tablet!!!
so am i stuck with the 4:3 view? i have actually put the tablet in the drawer and listed it for sale because too be honest i simply have no use for a tablet and the 4:3 aspect ratio on my tv is the final nail in the archos coffin.
i did though buy it for media player duties and to take over from my nas as a torrent downloader. now the media player plays back my movies as they are in widescreen however everything else in gui is boxed up on the screen. this obviously makes it a real no no for media duties. even youtube videos retain the 4:3 boxy shape.
really silly of me. i dont know why i didnt think of it before but let my lesson be a lesson learned for someone else.
basically if you want to use the tablet on your tv then videos once playing will be ok but everything else and i mean everything is in the 4:3 format.
yes i could zoom in on the tv but then one loses quite a bit of the tablet screen real esate so it isnt really a soliution.
all very annoying and i am seriously kicking myself for being so daft. thing is i think 4:3 in a screen this small makes sense but i just didnt think about the way it would mirror the image on the tv
so heed this lesson would be buyers and think long and hard about what you intend to do with the tab. if you are buying it just because you want a tab then you should mostly be ok but if you fancy using it hooked up to your tv look elsewhere and buy something that is in the widescreen format.
unless unless unless i am missing something obvious???
EDIT: OK saved by my tv. it has a setting called smart which more or less puts the archos image in full widescreen with a little stretching and a bit cropped out from the bottom and top. it is better than say the zoom function which actually crops loads of the display.
it isnt the best solution but for now it will do... i actually have more serious worries like a real flaky wifi connection (even though my network is rock solid) the tablet randomly rebooting and constant freezes when watching a video. thing is one starts wondering if it is the hardware or just badly written firmware that is to blame and there is no way to really be able to tell.
Is there a way to set the resolution of the HDMI? I am trying to connect to a 24 inch monitor and it's running at 1280x800 (native resolution I assume). Is there a way I can tell it to run at 1080p?
I tried mine thru my TV last night for the time. I could only get my tv to register it at 720p. I also am wondering if anybody else noticed a tiny delay from touchpad screen to tv. It's enough for me so that I can't play games properly. I thought I had read that people were playing games no problem though.... anybodies experience would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, play 1080p content. There's no magic upscale to 1080 for lower resolution content, including the OS.
That makes sense.
Is there a way to program an app to specify it has 1080p content? My goal is for me to be able to RDP (using iTap at the moment) into a server of mine and have that displayed with 1080p resolution.
Hi there!
Hope someone can help me here...
I have a 10" Teclast A10t (Allwinner A15 CPU, based on Cortex a8) running ICS which sports an HDMI Output.
Now, I'd like to use it as a upnp client hooked up to a widescreen 1080p display via HDMI,but the picture I get on the big display is always 4:3 which ends up being either an incredible waste of display when playing widescreen media or quite blurry and overall fugly when stretched to fit the screen using the display's settings (and, of course, it's stretched which makes watching movies not exactly enjoyable).
Anyways, I can't find an option to select the AR of the HDMI output... Does anyone here know how to do the trick? Am I overlooking something, is there an app for that (tm) or am I just f*cked and it's not achievable?
Tried CM9, CM10, googled around for hours qnd searched the market but to no avail...
Thanks in advance

You can do this with AOKP I believe.
You can use Resolution Changer to change the resolution from 4:3 to 16:9 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lugalabs.resolutionchanger&hl=en).
Note: The app REQUIRES ROOT.
I had the same problem as my 4:3 tablet has an HDMI output, yet when connected to a 16:9 TV, the picture was stretched making circles turn into horizontal ovals. I also tested this with Chromecast and it worked well, too.
The SecondScreen app (free) and a bit of additional research let me find a way of getting this working without having to root.
This solution will work well for those that want to use a 4:3 tablet (e.g. 9.7" 2048x1536) with HDMI and/or Chromecast/Miracast on a 16:9 format screen (TV/projector) and have found the picture looks squashed (egg.shaped instead of round). This will fix those problems well WITHOUT needing to root. It just needs a little effort to install this properly.
First of all, you need to install SecondScreen on the tablet (or smartphone).
Then you need a PC (preferably Windows 7 as anything higher needs additional security steps) with Google Chrome installed and a bit of patience.
Follow the instructions on this page up to and including step 6:
https://medium.com/sentio-superbook/enabling-sentio-desktop-dpi-resolution-change-d1a0b40e2c84
For step 7, use this exact command, instead: pm grant com.farmerbb.secondscreen.free android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
After that, you can proceed to setup the app, there are now no more root issues and it works well. I recommend setting up profiles with 160 (for smaller and more text on screen) and 240 dpi (normal size). If you go higher than that, you start losing icons on your desktop that have to be setup again.
Alternatives:
If you just want to play videos properly, use VLC Player as that natively sends the videos in the correct aspect ratio to the TV (second screen method). This also works well with Chromecast.
For images, Google Photos does have a cast button, that will then display the images in the correct aspect ratio on Chromecast - this will NOT work with HDMI. Showing still images with Chromecast is somewhat frustrating, as the pictures are often pixelated at first and by the time they look good, the slideshow goes on to the next picture. HDMI is MUCH better than Chromecast in this aspect. Pity that many Tablets do not have an HDMI port.
My recommendation is clearly to use the HDMI port and this solution, when showing videos and images. HDMI is much easier to use (just plug in the cable), as well. If your tablet does not have an HDMI port, Chromecast is just as good with videos, but worse with still images. Chromecast also requires a local Wi-Fi router and internet connection to work. Miracast does not require a local Wi-Fi or internet, but suffers from pixelation the most. This could be OK for static slides, but videos rarely look good on Miracast.
Hi XDA
I have been trying to find for a few weeks an app to fit my specific need. I am looking for an app to solelydisplay my windows desktop's video output on my Android handset.
I have tried VNC VPN remote desktops and they are way too slow (about 5 fps on my Xperia Play)
I don't want entertainment folder streaming, as I want to display pc games and video, just so long as I can see the entire screen scaled to fit device resolution, 1366 x 768 -> 854 x 480.
I have tried VNC like TeamViewer and IDisplay and they are too slow on the fps, even on lower resolution.
I don't want a remote desktop, interactivity slowing it down, just a duplicate video output of the desktop. No audio.
The idea is to Keep my laptop lid closed, but still be able to view the desktop, while using the mouse regularly.
WiFi or USB is fine. If my Xperia Play can stream Youtube over WiFi clearly this is doable?
Please help! Cheers
I have seen my friend doing what u deserve I will contact him soon and give u the reply I think he uses some app.
PM me if u need help
