Hi, there
I would like to use some program to remote my Desktop....
I try to use Remote VNC Pro....but it didn't work.....
Anyone can tell me what can I do??
Thanks so much!!
remote droid is a pretty cool app from the marketplace. it essentially turns the phone in to a laptop style track pad. If your looking for something a bit more indepth then have a look on the market place
there are a couple of VNC programs, but none of them are brilliant.
Gmote allows you to remote control the media player on your PC and stream music to the phone
VLCMote allows you to remote control VLC if you have it installed on your PC...
there may be others.
PhoneMyPC looks impressive ?
Has anyone found these apps to be successful besides Gmote? I have tried every VLC remote in the market, set-up the HTTP protocol, and none has worked yet. I tried reading the developer's instructions to start it with command line but it told me the command was invalid. Thought it might be my firewall, but even disabling it did nothing.
anyremote
Did anyone here try anyremote? Using anyremote2html it should be possible to control various applications on the PC using a web interface. Unfortunately it did not work for me yet since no browser on the android was able to show the webpage containing the controls. I always get a 404 error with them. I have no idea why this is so. I can get it to work with another PC controling my first PC via any web browser. Does anyone know why the android browsers are not able to show that simple webpage from anyremote?
vnc4android does work fine for me (on my pc i have a ultravnc server with standard settings)
where do I get vnc4android? I tried a few of those vnc clients in the market. But they have trouble with correctly showing the desktop.

androidvnc works fine for me, using tightvnc on my pc. just change the port on androidvnc to 5900, altho lack of software keyboard is abit of a bummer.
The new version of GMote is excellent for the Hero. It allows you to use the Hero's screen as a touchpad and now also let's you bring up the keyboard to type stuff on the PC. It is very responsive and highly usable. I have a media centre PC and this means I have full control to complement the remote.
Is there an app that you would install on Tablet to run as service (and so small footprint), then you access a web page from PC or other device over internet, click a button and that takes screenshot of whatever there is on the Tablet with the server installed, downloads it and displays in a window in the browser?
So it doesn't need to stream or allow for remote control, only take screenshot of remote tablet and view it locally.
Since ICS has screenshot feature built in, maybe it wouldn't even require root?
PicMe seems to be the app you're asking for.
Other way can be use ADB and take the screenshot using ddms (a tool of the Android SDK). There are several apps to use ADB without cable, such ADB Wifi, ADBWireless, ADB over WiFi...
I think you can use our VMLite VNC Server to do that, although it probably does more than what you wanted. It does NOT require root.

(we will add a button to click to take a screenshot remotely, for now, you can just take it from Browser screen)
Not sure if this is strictly 'development', but it turns out the nexus Q with debugging enabled can run pretty much anything. So far I've only tested the doubleTwist alarm clock and firefox, but it works! (Admittedly, navigation is slow, but still, it's nice to see that Google was open with this)
how are you controlling the apps?
Well right now I'm just feeding it xy coordinates from a computer, but I'm considering trying to rig something up for wireless communication...if I feel motivated enough.
Nice! If i can run things like netflix and a web browser i will definitely pick one up.

Pandora would be nice with this. How are you running the apps? What if we could have an app that would directly communicate to the Nexus Q and just push the running app to it? Just brainstorming ideas
1. I have actually done some web surfing using firefox, and it works (although its not very easy right now)
2. Netflix streaming in fact does work, although I haven't really tested for video quality at the moment.
3. I can try pandora at some point during the week. Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to speakers for it, so I haven't tested any audio yet.
4. I'm running the app by sideloading apks using adb and then running adb shell to start the app.
5. I was considering writing a service that would allow me to send some commands from an android phone...but somebody may have done that already (there's an app on the play store called Tablet Remote that I may try) so I may just give that a go.
I just got my Nexus Q so I'm definitely interested in development. If you need any testers feel free to hit me up!

anyone know how to get windows to recognize the nexus q when you put it in debugging mode (so I can use adb)

I've had similar experiences, side loading works just fine and all the apps start up. I looked into this tablet remote, and it seems like it would work too, but I hate the idea of Bluetooth pairing.
In the spirit of this device, I suppose the "right" way to do this would be to forward commands through a server. The receiver service running on the device end with a remote on the client end.
The limitation of the Tablet Remote is that it would require all of the apps to be started via ADB. I'm thinking of making a simple interface that starts some of the apps you would want to run (Pandora, Crackle, Netflix, etc).
I've actually developed a little app that I'll post here in a day or two. Its an app that starts a custom web server that runs in the background. I have a few commands running on it now that list the installed packages and to launch a package. Now I'm working on adding support for intents.
The idea is that you just need to load this one app through ADB (and any other apps you need installed). After that, you just go to the URL of the Q to control it.
Some commands that work now, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Q:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081 - shows home page with a list of supported commands
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/listpackages - shows a list of installed packages, each with a hyperlink to launch that package by clicking on it
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/launch?package=com.xxxx.xxx - will launch a particular package
So at this point, I'm not sure how to do touch or keyboard input. Has anyone tried a usb hub to a mini usb adapter, and plugging in a USB mouse and keyboard. I guess you can't do bluetooth devices since you need something to select the action to actually do the pairing.

nwadams - I had to edit the android_winusb.inf file manually. Put this in both the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections. I'm not sure if you need that &REV_0216 at the end or not. Then I manually had windows install the driver, and pointed it to the android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder.
; Nexus Q
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_2C10&REV_0216

thanks man. worked like a charm.
Yeah I was actually going to try something along the web server route. We'll see: I won't have access to a Q until thursday
I've experimented with bluetooth pairing (Magic Mouse) but I couldn't get the pairing to actually complete, and logcat was rather unhelpful with that one.
Also, how're you handling starting apps where the activity needs to be specified? I've found that ones that don't handle the Launcher intent or w/e don't really start properly unless I give it the activity name manually.
I just uploaded my test app and started another thread "Juice Receiver". I figured that would probably need a thread of it's own to report problems or request features.
The background service should autostart since I created a broadcast receiver to start the service. In the manifest, I set this for the broadcast receiver: action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"

I use linux, and i can detect the device, but it says under device number, ????????????? and no permissions as well. i try to adb shell it, no permissions. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Really want to start working on this bad boy.

sudo adb start-server
Or go on source.android.com and follow the directions for the adb permissions section and add a line for the Q info you can get from lsusb
How exactly did you send it x, y coordinates? I got the netflix apk up and running on it: https://plus.google.com/110462891087801857205/posts/Ufu6hT8GX9i
Obviously useless without some sort of input. I noticed that someone got a HID mouse working with it though.
Also to note: this was not rooted, just did a normal adb install with an apk.

I used MonkeyRunner (you can look it up on the android developers website.

Cool, thanks.
I actually got passed the login page for netflix, just gotta somehow figure out how to press the movie to initiate streaming something.
I actually just eyeballed the screen and guessed where to press until I got a movie to play. Not precise, but good enough for testing.
Hello:
I'm new to software development in the android environment and I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this for me.
I have a work PC and a work laptop. The PC has all of the juice to run the android emulator, our dev environment/tools, etc. I sometimes work remotely and use the laptop (or another PC) to VPN, then RDP into my physical work PC.
When I launch the emulator and attempt to use any app, the emulator will load, the app will launch, but anything after that results in a hung app or errors.
For cordova apps, I get:
Application Error - The connection to the server was unsuccessful. (file:///android_asset/www/index.html)
For native apps like chrome, it will launch, but any attempt to load a page will result in a hung app that I need to force close.
The common factor here is doing this through an RDP session. I tried it from multiple PCs, always the same result.
Has anyone else every run into this? What could possibly be causing this? It’s terribly inconvenient.
Thanks!
For those of you that may stumble upon this, I found a solution for my particular scenario.
With the emulator running, I had to open "Extended Controls". On the "Settings" tab, change "OpenGL ES API Level" from "Autoselect" to "Host maximum".
Hi all,
I want to do Voice Typing through my Android Device to my Windows Machine.
I found an app which works pretty well, called Unified Remote. Pretty well known.
The downside right now is: I always have to use the app, go to "Basic Input", open my Smartphone Keyboard (Gboard) and press the Voice Typing button. This is a long way.
I want to know whether the following is possible either in Unified Remote OR whether you know a similarly app:
I want to create either a widget or a Quick Action in the notification area which does the following on ONE click
It should directly open my default Keyboard app on my smartphone (as said: this is GBoard) directly in voice typing mode.
My goal is a One-Click solution to voice-type through my smartphone to my Windows machine.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks
