I Would love to be able to get this to work but it seems as if it does not work on my University's infrastructure network even though my friends's pebble app works just fine.

Is there any app that allows me to control my pc via my Nook? I would like to be able to contol the media on my computer as a sit back and relax
My favorite app for remote desktop is Logmein its $14.99 on the app market. And works great on the Nook

There are many such apps on the Market. Have you tried Gmote?
My favorite remote app is Unified Remote, which has remotes for almost every purpose. It even saved my life when I had to give a presentation for an exam with 3 fellow students.
Nobody brought a presenter, so I quickly installed the desktop client and passed my phone to whomever was speaking next.
For a full-featured remote desktop, I settled for Android VNC Viewer. No need to pay money for Logmein.
PROTIP: Have a look at this thread I made a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115986
Using these steps, you can launch your remote app (and any other app) right from the lockscreen. Saves me loads of time whenever I just want to adjust the volume or stuff like that.
I love Unified Remote as a plain remote.
VNC is also great for free but Logmein just rocks for me with multiple networks and stuff like that as a remote desktop app.

It may be a tad overkill for your purposes, but my favorite remote desktop app is Team Viewer.
Simple to setup, simple to use, and it's free.
For your purposes, I've heard a lot of good things about gmote, but I wasn't able to get it to work.
I use androidVNC with TightVNC server on my desktop. To lazy to get up and move the mouse for Netflix
+1 for Unified Remote
Excellent tool with lot of remotes for different situations.
This is the one I use: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient&feature=search_result
There's also Tesla, if you use *nix on your PC.
Use teamviewer, it's free and best software I used for both Laptop & NC.
But you cannot use your PC to remote your NC via teamviewer

What settings do you use to control netflix? I was trying to do this, but the slow framerate kills any attempt to control my desktop, that and the netflix buttons don't render, so I have to guess where I'm clicking.
Other than that I'd +1 to androidVNC, suits most of my needs fine. I'll have to check out unified remote though, looks good.

Androidvnc is set up as 64 colors (1bpp) with Force full-screen bitmap on Auto, with Zoomable Scaling.
Everything renders fine for me, including the buttons. Colors are a little off, but that doesn't matter when I am only using it as a remote. On desktop side I did nothing in TightVNC except make sure that it turns off my wallpaper, just in case.
i was using pocketcloud (rdp) but hitting the menu button doesn't work anymore: No menu, no virtual mouse
I use and enjoy Splashtop Remote.
(Tried to add a URL to the market, but weren't allowed to do so. Search for Splashtop Remote HD in Android Market, that should do the trick.)
Not entirely sure what you want to control - but look into DLNA apps. You can play your media (pictures, video, audio) and control any other DLNA app/renderer (blu-ray, etc).
"Play this video on my TV" or "go to laptop, stream this music to my Nook Color". It's pretty handy stuff.
With the Prime being a multi media power house it's very conceivable many of us will hook the Prime up to various TVs to watch our media. Walking up to the tablet to control DicePlayer or whatever media player we use isn't very convenient.
Here's a free app I found that provides a solution to this scenario (and also works as a virtual gamepad) that I'd thought I'd bring to people's attention:
Tablet Remote:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote
Visit the market link above for a more verbose description of how it works with screenshots. The gist is you download the app to both your phone and tablet and pair them up using Bluetooth. On the tablet it installs a software keyboard that you enable/activate. Once both devices are paired control commands are sent through the easy to use phone UI to the soft keyboard on the tablet via Bluetooth.
Thanks I will try this with my evo3d when my prime comes today.

Bump because the app was just updated today to add connectivity between Android devices via WiFi.

friggin awesome, this app has lots of potential..
Please read the title.
This is for controlling your phone via your computer (not the other way around).
I've been looking for a long time for an app or program that will allow me to remote control my android phones (I have a LTE Galaxy Nexus and a GSM Galaxy Note).
I've tried webkey and airdroid but they are so laggy.
Anyone have a better recommendation?
AirDroid is great if you set it up properly...
Now you can try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, people are liking it. You can view and control your phone remotely, works on your device.

Has anyone here tried the "MyNet" feature of the tablet to control a computer through your tablet? How do you like it?
I'd like to take advantage of that for websites which stream video but are not compatible with mobile browsers of any kind. It would probably require being on the same wifi network but either way, pretty neat.
BTW, I love my Prime!! Got the issue with gps signal capture but I got my cell phone to direct me if I'm lost in my car.

The app is called splashtop. I believe there are a couple of threads talking about this application. Just to let you know there is a THD version that is up on the market now that works better and faster then the bundled version though it costs money. I am using it now and can connect to my home computer from work and its super fast. I love it. Use it at work all the time during meetings to connect to my desktop. The bundled version will close the connection on you due to a bug in that version. The THD version does not have this issue.
Just my 3 cents.

actually hes talking about the MyNet app that comes with the prime
its not a desktop mirroring tool it just allows streaming of media (pics videos music) to the prime from a pc
its actually pretty cool in how well it does it but it can stream MKVs though
It also allows the downloading of the files from the pc to the prime...its a nice way of moving files without having to plug in or use a sd card or dropbox
i wish it allowed folder downloading or multiple downloading rather than having to do a single file at a time.
Yeah, the MyNet app is a DLNA app for streaming media between DLNA devices. To me it seemed to be a decent proof of concept app, but I have found three apps that do a better job: 2player, BubbleUPnP, and iMediaShare.
iMediaShare can stream from several internet sources to your DLNA devices, but it's unfortunately still not optimized for tablets. It forces you into portrait mode.
For streaming music from my Prime to my blu-ray/stereo, I typically use BubbleUPnP.

Well when you read the op he states talking about controlling your laptop.....was confusing.....i use MovieBrowser UPnP.....just love the way it organizes the movies.......
So Op, sorry for the confusion.
I've used both apps and had good success with them.
I really like the MyNet app though as its a simple program that lets my stream movies/tv shows from my NAS to the TV in my bedroom. No more lugging the laptop up the stairs and clearing a space to put it!

Are you sure you mean the mynet app or do you the splashtop hd remote pc access function in the my cloud app?
From reading your poast I think that you mean teh My desktop feature in the my cloud app which is splashtop HD remote app which links up with a splashtop streamer app on your PC !! and this does not require you to be on the same wifi connection...I often use it to connect to my pc when away from home to check on email accounts etc
I'm sorry, it is the "mycloud" icon on the screen that I meant. From there you find the "my desktop" option which uses splashtop.
i know it is off topic....but i have used PhoneMyPC for years. love it. great app for controlling your various PCs from your android.
Loving mynet, works flawless with all my gizmos. Sitting waiting for someone to start using cornerstone in a rom and i will use it as my main tv interface.

Hi Everyone,
I was just trying the different apps for Screen Sharing from the Tab (SM-P601, Android 4.3) to a Windows Laptop/Desktop.
I came across 2 apps:
1. MirrorOp Sender for Galaxy
However, this needs to Install receiver device (additional Receiver software) on the computer, which is not always possible, when i am in someone else's office on a desktop locked with Admin password.
2. Screen Stream Mirroring trial
This app enables to broadcast to 'Google chrome' or 'VLC Player' or even on 'YouTube'. On VLC Player, it can even be recorded. But at the present moment, on Android 4.3, it gives me error on 'Hardware Rendering Format'. As a result, the broadcast is very slow and laggy.
However, both these apps require that the Tablet and the Computer be connected to the same WiFi Network.
Does anyone has any better options/ideas ?? A better App ??
Try shou
Side Sync 3.0
Is there any reason your not using this ? I mirror my Note 10.1 and Note 4 to my Windows 8 laptop this way just fine.
Did you ever get this to work? I have not been successful with my note and HP laptop. Do you have any notes about your setup? Versions of the client and server?
thanks
Try teamviewer, download teamviewer on pc and quicksupport teamviewer at play store, then just connect, or alternate use mobizen. Both tested and working.
Goodluck...
