Netflix works fine on the phone (stock ROM) and the PQ is awesome. But how do I find the actual streaming resolition? I just set the PQ to high in the Netflix settings.
Thanks for information

Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd let you know that splashtop remote hd(the tablet version) does not work on the galaxy tab 10.1. the regular version does work though, which is really kind of sad. I don't know how you can make a tablet specific version of an app and have it be worse on tablets than your original version. Hopefully there will be an update soon...

Splashtop Remote HD has compatibility issue with Galaxy Tab 10.1 . Our
engineers are work on this now. We will fix this issue soon. I hope new
version will be available within one or two week. The solid schedule
still depends on whether there are other issues on this device. So I
can't promise the exact release time.
Before we can provide new version to fix this issue, if you need refund,
please go to http://support-remote.splashtop.com and open a ticket for
this. Our support team will tell you what information is needed, and
refund ASAP. After refund, you need to purchage our app again if you
want to use it.
Sorry for this issue again.

What is the difference?
I hope there's support for higher resolutions. My desktop is 1440 x 900 I hate how splashtop changes the resolution when connected to android.
Market now says Galaxy Tab 10.1 is supported for Splashtop HD
and there's currently a 50% discount ...w00t!

Does this mean I can watch netflix through this app? Do you have to be on the same wifi nework or something, can you use this miles away from your home?

I have yet to try over another wifi network but I can almost watch hulu vids when tethering over my Vibrant on 3g.
So my guess is it will work fine over a real wifi connection.
At home I was watching both netflix and hulu flawlessly + playing Civ V... for me this is an amazing app and well worth the money.
Do you know if someone can use the desktop while I'm using this on the tablet? But for $5, I'll just get it in either case.
Works pretty dang good on my tab now. Worth the bucks, and fun to play tricks on my GF from the other room when my computer opens up a word doc and starts typing to her... lol.

Well the point of remote desktop is to use your actual system will at a different location. So the other person will be able to use the computer, they will just be messing with whatever you're trying to do . I "tried" it the other night with my laptop and it seemed alright. Tried playing minecraft but that requires a keyboard+mouse to be playable but it was fairly smooth. I'm sure netflix and hulu would work fine.
You should be able to remote desktop to a computer on another network as long as you set up the router for that computer to do so (port forwarding, I believe??) I think there are instructions on the splashtop website for doing just that.
Sale over ?
It's still on sale, I just bought. Using it now and it works amazingly well (over wifi), far better than the other RDP clients I've tried so far. Next stop will be testing it's performance over the wifi hot spot on my captivate.
Five bucks already well spent.
Edit: works over 3G, but not super well. I suspect my mediocre upload speed is to blame. Afraid there's not a lot I can do about that right now. I'm moving soon, so hopefully my new place will have some better options for internet.
just thought i'd add i'm using this right now.. posting this reply.. from manhattan.. remotely connected to my pc in eugene oregon. i am tethering from my 4g tmobile and its almost as good as my wifi from home. Speedtest shows a 50ms ping and a 6- 8mbps connection.. I can stream netflix or stream movies from my pc and they are pretty darn smooth.. 5000 miles away!! Splashtop rocks!! I am using it on my ipad though.. been waiting for the hd version to be released before i buy a tab 10.1 since remote desktop is just about all i use... looks like its time to buy one.
gonna try it and see
Okay so I've seen plenty of videos on YouTube of the SGS2 playing N64 flawlessly on their bigscreen TVs with PhoneJoy and an MHL adapter, so I figured our EVO 3Ds should be able to handle it too... but so far that hasn't been the case for me.
Has anyone come up with a working configuration to get emulation to work without like 10frameskips?! I've tried multiple ROMs, kernels, overclocking, all sorts of different emulators... I can't even get simple SNES games to work well enough to be standable let alone N64. Tried all of yongzhs emulators but those are too outdated and don't work smoothly. Best experience I've had was with SuperGNES because its not a port it is android native, still have to give it about 4frameskips though which is much too choppy. Looking to get about 1-2 max. Any thoughts and ideas are most appreciated!
If u don't mind could u tell me what kind of games u want to emulate like n64 or perhaps gameboy games
But Well u can try gameboid for that games. it works pretty fine for me O(∩_∩)O

I dont know if it a Sense related problem or something, but any 1080p video lthat I play using MHL on a big screen is to much choppy and fps are too low....while the same videos works fine without MHL.
I really hope all this is resolved when ICS and sense 3.6 or 4.0 OTAs are released...

thats because most mhl adapters can only push 24hz making it look choppy. cannot say if the oem htc or samsung adapters are any better however i have heard that both image, sound and framerate are better.

I use samsungs MHL adapter for the 3D , it cannot play 1080p videos at optimal framerate.
This is exactly why they should have just stuck with a dedicated HDMI port... Not to mention USB host is pointless with a TV because the port is taken up for the video-out.

my kernel is pusing 1080p @ 120hz (so 3d works on the your hdmi big screen) - verified working by both gsm and cdma users.
*per my personal experience and that of users posted their feedback on my threads
issue: it only works for some, not others
not sure if its a cable issue or a phone/hardware limitation that only applies to some phones
i personally am using a samsung cable - its the only cable that works w/ my phone @ 120hz
I will try your Anthrax kernel to see if it makes a difference for me. I was on test06 last week but I decided I couldn't deal with my camera preview and landscape gallery not working. Do you have a newer kernel up now that i can go grab?
test is the latest - and hdmi/mhl on most 2.17 based roms is borked ... due to the gpu issues im working on (same issue that affects landscape video and camera preview - all related)
Hello,
In this thread, i want know something about all those "Chinese'' (or is there any original) Android TV Boxes and media players.
I saw on eBay some stuff. Looks well, too.
I want to buy one, becouse i'm big android fan, and i can't live without Android.
So, does anyone know some information which is better to use?
Just wait on the next version of Google TV.

I'm looking to Sony Google TV, it looks awesome, but price isn't very good, too. But is that good? Also, Logitech Google TV looks awesome, but which one? Or, maybe any chinese Google TV?
I have the Logictech Revue, its pretty cool. They say new boxes will be available this summer or fall.

I had both the Logitech Revue and a Geniatech ATV1000 (Android TV) and ended up selling the Revue because I liked the ATV 1000 better.
However the ATV 1000 does require a little bit of work to make it good but after updating to a newer firmware the box is awesome.
I mainly use it for streaming videos online and it supports a lot more video formats than the Revue did. I also had a lot of problems with Netflix on the Revue. I was constantly having to reset the box to make Netflix work again.

Thank you for information. Maybe i just have to buy apple TV? Don't know why i want it, but all reviews about Logitech Revue is bad. Or maybe any of those all Chinese Android TV's?

Hi, with the latest Ice Cream Sandwich update, did you manage to get YouTube working on the ATV1000? If so, how did you do it?
Thank you.

I actually prefer using it with Gingerbread (2.3.4) (firmware 20111102) I have the best luck with it and it is really stable.
Youtube works alright but sometimes when searching videos it times out and I have to hit the retry button. However my A500 and Nexus tablets occasionally have the same problem.
I mostly use the box for streaming online movies from Putlocker or Sockshare for this it works really well.
I hope this helps. Good luck
Can I install a version of 4.0 or better to my rooted X2 that will never see service again? It's laying here I thought I would use it to stream video and do some gaming on my garage TV where I'd rather not put better devices. I've seen that I can run MIUI or possibly a cyanogenmod to get 4, but if I could just install a starndard build Android 4.0 and connect over wifi I'd be pretty happy with that. Thoughts? Ideas?

You'd probably be better off just using a stock rom. You'd get much better video playback, especially with Netflix and DLNA. I use mine to stream videos from my PC alot. Gaming results may vary. There are a few newer games that only work in 4.0+ but for the most part, all the good games work fine.

One app I want to use requires 4.0+ and that is Time Warner Cable. Of Course, I could always actually run cable out there, but what fun is that, lol. If need be the latest stock update + root will suffice for Netflix, hulu +, youtube, pandora, Google Music, my usual Android games and some emulators.
Stick with stock or even CM7. A lot of apps wont work if you go to 4.x and theres nothing we can do about that.

Bought a chromecast last week.... And must say I'm impressed . screen mirroring works exactly like mhl did with my m7 if not better. (And it still only in beta status)
1080p looks amazing used it throgh popcorntime app on phone and thought laptop.
I do not have a 4k TV so wouldn't be able to tell you about how well this works.
My sister was so impressed to she bought one the next day to go with her s6.
Hope this helps
