I've been using Android-VNC-Viewer since I bought my Atrix. It's worked great so far. Best of all, it's free! You can find it in the market.
I'm using Ultra VNC on my server.
Let me know if you have any questions. It may be a bit difficult to set up at first. Good luck!

Sounds like port 5900 is closed. Google "port forward", click on the first link, and follow the instructions for your specific router.
You can verify whether or not a port is open at CanYouSeeMe dot org.
Let me know how it goes.

I used Splashtop on my old phone. Insanely quick - you could even watch videos and listen to music. Hell, I managed to do some basic stuff in photoshop!
I'm a fan of VNC, but it's not the most secure thing around.
I would set up a VPN connection to home or an SSH tunnel to use it. That will add to it's security. If you go with the port forward route, make sure you shut the forwards off, or close VNC when you don't need it. (Read, VNC alone isn't very secure)
If your not a network geek, then I highly recommend Teamviewer.
It just works, thru whatever firewall setup you sit behind. With zero configuration. You can also add ACL's to allow connections from only certain IP's/Clients to lock your install down a little better.
Been using team viewer for years now. I its the best on market. And free as well.

i use unified remote. simple, and works great
Splashtop remote is a godsend in terms of quickly showing you what's going on on your computer. It essentially makes your phone a remote display capable of not only controlling the computer, but also watching videos, and even playing games. The coolest thing for me is the ability to stream the audio from your computer to your phone. Hope this helps
This does use quite a lot of data so I suggest running it on wifi. There's a free demo as well that you can try.

Hey just wondered if there was a tweak to make apps think their on wifi? Im trying to use bbc player at work but i need to be connected to wifi and i don't have wifi at work. Im on three network with unlimited data and would love to find a tweak to let me use apps thinking their on wifi. I had this tweak on my iphone but can't find it for android.
Thanks
Kevin

Just use standard web browser with desktop user agent. The video quality is very similar on both platform anyways .
Pulsar g2 had once moded the application but I think it's no longer available.

Would still like the tweak if anyone knows of 1.

I am setting up a stand alone HTPC and want an app that can be a user interface for various inputs. I use unified remote for a pc that is on my home network, works great. Unfortunately, the new setup will be in a location without network. It also doesn't have Bluetooth. Can this be done?

So I've searched this for quite a while and just never for around to asking.
I use my phone as my main source of internet. I'm on the latest CM10.1 nightly and using the built in "portable WiFi hotspot".
Is there a way I can use apps such as Google TV remote while my Google TV is connected to my phone's hotspot?
Any ideas or direction?

I'm trying to figure out how to make an app (Comcast tv) to work over cell data. It only streams over wifi currently. Iphones have 3g/4g unrestrictor that allows apps that would normally only work over wifi to work over data. Is there any such work around for android?
