[Q] Can't control tablet through VNC ?! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got a new tablet with Android 4.0.3 and stock-rooted. I installed SuperSU and then several various VNC servers.
Every time when I try to connect from my laptop, I can only view the screen of the tablet, but am unable to control it.
I have several android phones set up in the same way with the same servers and they work just fine.
What is going on?

[Q] 2X Remote Desktop Client

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.
sent from my CM7-dx2 using XDA premium
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.

[Q] Remote Desktop Server for android ICS

Hello,
i am searching for an remote desktop server for android ICS
I read on some old threads that for old android OS there was some app like webkey, that allow to control the android phone / tablet remotely via 3g
Does anyone know if there are some other app for ICS?
(i wonder if ICS has some remote desktop server built in in the OS, like windows, but i suppose it hasn't)
Thanks!

Thanks,
but i dont search an app to control the pc via tablet.
Instead, i would like to control the tablet (that i leave at home) with the pc that i have in the office where i work.
So i need an app to be installed in the tablet, that acts like the windows remote desktop server ...
Is this what you are looking for?
To control your PC from phone/tablet, use TeamViewer. Of course, you need to have TeamViewer installed in the other device as well. Dunno if the reverse (controlling phone/tablet from PC) is possible. Never tried.

Yes, i was looking for something like the VNC server link you suggested me.
But perhaps it does not allow remote connection (over internet)...

Hello,
finally i was able to remote access my android tablet (acer a500) by another android tablet (dell streak):
i rooted the tablet and installed a VNC server on the tablet a500;
i configured my wireless home router to enable forwarding port 5901 to the (static) ip address of the tablet a500.
Then i installed a VNC client on the other tablet (dell streak).
Now i can with the dell streak and 3g connection, remote access the a500 that i leave at home.
The 'remote desktop' works well, its nice to see the screen of the a500 as screen of the dell streak...
and when i touch the screen of the dell streak , i 'touch' in same time the screen of the a500...
the only thing i dont like is that the connection is very slow...sometimes i have to wait many seconds to see the answer of the a500 on the dell streak...
Bye!

thank you for info
Strange that there is so few such solutions. I'd imagine people would create apps for this just like there is plenty of those WiFi File Managers where you start server on the phone/tablet and move files using web browser on PC.
Maybe LogMeIn will finally develop something proper for remote controling Phones/Tablets, there is a need for this, I for example need to support a person in another country and I need to be able to at least see the screen remotely, not necessairly control it remotely.
access a server on a 3g wireless phone directly is almost impossible, this is not for technical reasons, instead the wireless operators blocks all server ports on mobile devices.
One way is to do NAT punch through, or use proxy, none of these is easy, so I don't really see servers that can accessed from internet.
Update: I have installed dynamic dns server and vnc server and that did the trick.
I assume this is still with WIFI, did you manage to connect to a server in 3g network, i.e., using ip address provided by wireless providers, instead of a wifi ip address.

Any names atall?

[Q] Bluetooth tethering from an Android tablet to a non-Android phone

Hi all.
I have a 3G (HSDPA) mobile phone, not Android nor a smart phone, which has Bluetooth DUN profile: I can already tether my laptop to it via Bluetooth.
I'm planning to buy a WiFi only tablet running Android and would like to tether it to my mobile phone the same way as the laptop.
I've searched through the forums here at XDA with (apparent) no luck.
Is there any application/ROM for Android tablets that supports such a use?
I've tried a few Android phones (both stock and modded), but they don't seem to support Bluetooth tethering.
Is there any hint, reference, link or advice?
I am not scared to eventually do that in command line on the tablet, though.
Please don't suggest WiFi tethering (as the phone has no WiFi) or USB tethering as both the tablet and the phone just work as devices, not host.
Thanks in advance.
No way?
Depends on the tablet you purchase. I have an Archos 101G9 Turbo tablet and an old Nokia E71 phone. I cannot tether the tablet to the phone through the bluetooth settings menu as it just does NOT show any profiles for the phone. I can however tether the tablet to my phone via command line commands. But this requires the tablet to be rooted in order to use such commands.

Well, rooting is almost mandatory to have any non-trivial feature on these devices.
I was just wondering whether my "special need" was somehow supported in some tablet with stock or aftermarket ROM.
I do understand that a fairly complete bluetooth stack should be already in place in Android.
What I need to understand is how far my feature is from a simple use.
Well I just happened to install BlueVPN from the market a day or two ago and it works like a charm. No need to open a terminal emulator and do what I've done before.
Using either way to connect to my phone still results in some native apps not recognizing the connection. The web browsers work (stock, opera mobile/mini, firefox, chrome). But native apps like the gmail app, speed test app, and probably a few others just won't recognize the data connection. I wonder if some other properties need to be set for them to recognize it.
Not a huge deal for me since the web browsers work.

These are great news for me.
While email and calendar can be accessed with the browser, SSH (ConnectBot) needs a connection. Could you please check whether this works?
I fear there's some firewalling or NAT in place, this is why it's not working... maybe.
I tried ConnectBot out for at least the telnet portion and that was able to connect but could not send anything from the onscreen keyboard. It just would not recognize anything I typed. I do not have anything to SSH into so could not test that connectivity out.
It connects at least from what I can see. But dislikes the touchscreen keyboard on my tablet apparently.

Android remote desktop control app??

Hi,
I am looking for an application to remote control my Rockchip MK808b android 4.2. So far I was trying about 4 apps, but because my device is connected to a home wifi network (ip: 192.168.2.1) I can't connect to it with my phone form other locations (from where I work, for example). I have tried using real IP (by googleing; "my ip"), but it will not connect at all.
The 3 apps were:
droid VNC server - works grate at home, but cant't connect to it from outside the network
AirDroid - won't permit screen share
RemoDroid - only home network
TeamViewer QuickSupport - instaled, but I get the message: cannot shear screen, please upgrade your Android Os.
I would really appreciate if someone could suggest an app wich would work, connect from outside of my home network.
Thanks!!

[Q] Connection refused on VNC apps

Hey guys, I have been looking for a way to control my CM 10.1 DNA through my PC (Windows XP SP3) and have tried a few things with no luck. I got android screencast working, but found that I couldn't operate the phone through the PC (and it was very laggy). If I might be missing something here, then let me know.
I also tried using apps like 3CX DroidDesktop and when I attempt to connect from my PC I get errors. I'll enter in the IP and port and I usually get an error that says my phone refused the connection. I've tried Real VNC, Tight VNC, and even just the browser. I'm a total noob at this so I apologize if this question has already been asked or something. And yes the phone and laptop are both connected to the same Wi-Fi connection.
Thanks for any and all help guys!
Edit: So I've gotten it to work through USB, and realvnc but I do not have the ability to control with the keyboard or mouse
