Hey,
Im looking for a Application for my HD2.
Which allows me to use my phone as a mouse for my PC at home.
Logitech has something like that for Iphone but i just cant find it for my HD2.
Hope anyone can help me
GRemote Pro

Absolutely FANTASTIC, particularly with a capacitive touchscreen (like the HD2).
I just installed G-remote and am typing this using my phone as a mouse and keyboard to control my PC.
great application but some of the symbols seem to be messed up at the minute. sure I can sort that out in the settings somehow though

Hi people,
I've had a search in this and some other forums (fora?) as well as google, but can't find what I'm looking for. This makes me think that it doesn't exist...
I have my PC connected to my TV and acts as a HD-movie server as well as a general music entertainment system. I'm a bit fed up having to grab for the wireless keyboard and mouse every time I want to do something on the computer.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a program that allows me to use my polaris as a sort of track-pad and keyboard for my PC (via bluetooth, wifi, or whatever).
Could you fool the PC into thinking you'd connected a bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
Also - i'd like to be able to assign simple functions like fast-forward, rewind & pause functionality to the polaris. It would make a really cool all-in-one remote.
So - has anyone ever heard of a program to do either of these?
Do you think it would even be feasible?
Hello
this will do the track pad, and remote control functions but i dont think that it does a keyboard bit
http://jaylee.org/remotecontrol/
It does most and is a pretty solid program with some nice features too
wow, that was quick reply!
Nice one. I'll try it when I get home!
Thanks very much

hi - just an update...
I tried RemoteControl, but couldn't get it to work. My polaris can see the PC using the program, but when i select it as a server and click "ok", it doesn't connect to remote control server on the PC. The forum on the developer's website looks really quite dead - so not much help there.... oh well.
Also - it sometimes locks me out of my phone when the backlight and screen turns off (pressing the powerbutton doesn't even bring it back on) and I have to press the reset button.
I'll give Salling Clicker free trial a go. Thanks for the info.
on a related note, have a look at this iPhone version "touchpad pro" its EXACTLY what i want, but you need a hacked iPhone. Grrrrrrr.

I'll post back with results of Salling Clicker.
Just tried Salling Clicker with my laptop at work.
Absolutely, unbelievably, awesome!
Easy to set up and get working.
What's more, I can use it with WiFi and free up my bluetooth dongle.
Almost perfect. It doesn't have keyboard support, but its a good enough for now.
I'm off to buy a copy.
thanks for the heads-up Redman77
As far as i know Sideshow's gonna have options for remote control using some kind of Microsoft receiver software. might come in handy if you wanna control your computer completely. You would be able to use your touchscreen just like a laptop's mousepad... which should be very cool..
Will I be able to use a BT keyboard or gamepad with my
desire?
Read about it at the N1 forum but its seamd to be a bít of a bother
to get it to work.
Is there a HID inbuilt in the Desire or do I need an app?
What I want to be able to do is to write long documents with the keyboard and play games useing an emulator and a gamepad.
I understand that the Freedom Universal 2 should work on the Desire with (not free) an app from the Android market place (search using "bluetooth keyboard"). I have ordered this keyboard as soon I manage to test it I will post results.
Sounds wonderful.
Im looking forward to your review.
Regarding the gamepad:
http://www.mymobilegear.com/showthread.php?p=17452
I'm also interested in whether a bluetooth keyboard will work. I'm getting an Apple Bluetooth mini keyboard soon, which should be nice to use at times when I'm away and need to type some long emails
I have a noname BT keyboard that works out of the box with windows mobile. With Android, the keyboard can be paired with the Desire, but it seems that no key input services are available in the Desire BT implementation. I understand that there is a BT driver floating around that could fix this issue. If I find the solution, I will post an update.
Bad news my Freedom Pro keyboard does not seem to work with the KeyPro app, the only app in the Android market as far as I know that provides drivers for BT keyboards. I have left a message on the mymobilegear.com forum so hopefully the developer will respond sson.
There is another driver/app: blueinput. I cannot get it working but you can try your luck.
Unfortunately the teksoft BT driver does not work either - major problem after a rebooted I found I could not enter my passpword and therefore had to do perform a hard reset! You have been warned (look here: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid&tab=download)
what a shame.
thanks for your tries and i would love to use an external bt keyboard too.
i will try to find a cheap / second hand bt keyboard to test around
With Blueinput and KeyPro I think the issue is that they cannot work with the BT on the Desire. I have left messages on the developer forums but no feedback yet. Blueinput, if it worked, would be very promising as it should work with most HID keyboard (iGo, Stowaway etc).
Seams as if the kayboard have to be a SPP kayboard.
Not HID.
Freedom is working on a driver for android for their own Freedom
series keyboards.
Would be great to hear news about this.

Save yourself for a wii remote. they (xda) will have it working with Desire soon if not already. Do a search and you'll find more details

I have been looking into this aswell. Im following the Wii-project
closely. But I also think a BT keyboard would be great.
Just got "documents to go" and a keyboard would make writing
much smoother.
Freedom Universal 2 looks relly good, since the Freedom Pro is a bit too
large.
Apparently these sorts of bluetooth apps don't work with Sense-enabled phones.
Not sure if flashing a non-Sense rom would fix it, but then the CM Rom doesn't have working bluetooth anyway.
think there was a modaco rom that worked with wii remote. not sure about othe r bluetooth stuff
Hey guys, has anyone found a Playstation-style bluetooth gamepad that works with CyanogenMod's Bluetooth HID implementation? I've already tried playing SNESoid with my Freedom Universal bluetooth keyboard, and while it works, it's obviously not as nice as with an actual gamepad. Any suggestions?
Hey,
I am considering to buy myself the transformer with the dock and I was wondering, if it would then work as a "real" netbook if I use it in connection with Splashtop? Therefore I have some questions:
* Will all kinds of software (Microsoft Office, Eclipse IDE, etc.) work?
* Are the keyboard and the touchpad fully compatible? Or will I have to use some kind of virtual keyboard although the dock is plugged in?
* How will this affect the battery life?
* Will there be any interferences with surfing the web?
Thank You very much so far!
I had the same thought but I just went and did it.
Even though the asus transformer has an app that is a clone of Microsoft office (Polaris Office) Microsoft office will work.
The keyboard works fine with me. All that the keyboard does is replace the onscreen one, so it has to work.
It will have the same battery life as you would normally have while Wifi is turned on.
I personally noticed that it was a little laggy, but I have really bad internet.
Good luck sir
Thanks for the reply!

What's about the touchpad? Does is also work completely right? It think I read somewhere that using the right-click button causes Splashtop to terminate?

How fast is/was your internet connection? How fast should it be?

I really think that Asus TF together with its Dock are a great team, but I am afraid that it won't fulfill my expectations. Of course, I could buy me a netbook, but I also would like to have the ability to play around with a touch-screen
So honestly, how long have you had the TF (and how long have you used Splashtop) and do you think it is a "good" combination of a netbook and a tablet?
Right click will quit splashtop (it is back) but holding down left simulates right click. On my lan splashtop is almost like running windows locally. Over the net it is as good for most things as any other remote solution but somehow manages to stream video better than any others.

I have to ask this question, but you are aware that Splashtop is a remote desktop solution, and that in order for it to work you must have a PC or a Mac running somewhere on your network (or accessible from the internet), and it is this machine that actually runs your software?
The reason I ask is because you're asking if specific software works with Splashtop - in essence, the software on your "server" machine is immaterial to Splashtop because Splashtop is just a remote desktop.
Regards,
Dave
Hey Dave!
I fully understand that the software has to run on a normal OS and the "output" will be streamed to the TF. The thing is though, I am not sure if the 10 inch display can resize the images so far, that the software can be used productively.
So my question is how good can the display handle "intensive" applications which have a lot of screen elements. Is the small display able to scale it down properly?
When you run splashtop from the transformer, it automatically changes the screen resolution on the host computer to a size that will fit on the transformer screen perfectly (At least in my experience). Once you disconnect your computers screen resolution goes back to what it was set as.
You can choose the following screen resolutions:
800x600
1024x768
1280x720
Best fit to transformer
Native resolution(whatever you currently have set on your windows or mac comptuer)
In practice your primary concern should be the tablet -> mouse situation and having enough bandwidth for what you're doing.
The regular version that is bundled will also tend to disconnect when you go back or to another application, I assume so does the HD.

One other thing to note is that when you are using the trackpad on the dock, you get the android mouse plus you get the mouse on the computers desktop. The mouse of the computers desktop follows the android mouse around, with a little bit of lag (if you aren't on the same network).
As mentioned above, the right click button on the dock still does act as the back button, exiting the application. Tapping and holding is the way to make a right-click action happen on the host computer.
If standard RDP is an option (if you have a VPN or something), the 2X RDP app works wonderfully with the transformer keyboard dock and trackpad. It actually allows you to use the right-click liek you normally would - it's JUST like sitting in front of a PC....
Like I said though, this is just plain RDP - will not work via the internet without a VPN.... ALso, not good for things like video, etc.....
Hi. I'm planning on getting a transformer, but I'm interested in the following feature:
Is it possible to control your pc:s mouse and keyboard with the touchpad/keyboard of the dockingstation? I know there are several apps that turn your screen into a touchpad for the pc and sends on screen keyboard text to your pc. But I want to be able to use the docking station just as if it was an external keyboard.
Perhaps even the included splashtop app can do this?
I think most remote desktop apps do this, but splashtop does it for sure.
Just remember there is no right-click in Android, even if you use a normal mouse. You have to long-click to 'fake' a right click.
Remote desktop isn't quite what I'm looking for though. I want to see and control my coputer hooked up to my big screen tv and with remote desktop you're logged of and can't see the big screen.
I tried splashtop laptop to pc, but didn't really like it. Sloppy and there was a trail of the mouse pointer making it harder to aim. Better than nothing though.
What I'm looking for is really just a kvm switch without the video. Synergy does this perfectly on a pc. It even shares your clipboard between computers, another thing I really want to see on Android.

Wrong. Thats only when you use windows sad excuse for remote desktop. Any REAL RD does not log out the server, unless you set it up to do that.

Weird, I dont have it. Sounds like either your PC or network is very slow.
But there are better remote desktops for PC<->PC than splashtop.

That severely cripples your options. Theres not a high demand for such a thing since the TF's are like the only tablets with real keyboard and mouse.
There are plenty of apps that give you remote keyboard control and can turn the tablet to a touchpad to control the PC, but I doubt that works with a real mouse.
Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a remote desktop app to interact with a windows 7 computer, currently I use realvnc or the MS rdp app however what I need is something that will allow me to go full screen and use finger clicks direct on the screen not a virtual mouse like the two apps I currently use.
Basically I have a piece of touch ready software and I want to use it off my galaxy tablet.
Heres what I need:
It must do fullscreen
It must be direct touch
and finally it must work without an internet connection
Thanks in advance
Tim
Teamviewer?
It is still not direct touch, but I find it much easier to use than realvnc in those regards. I use it on a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and it's fantastic
Yeah I actually use that already on my computer however it needs to be direct touch, I also forgot to say that it needs to work on a LAN without an internet connection!
A friend at work says he used to use the bVNC app. It looks like it'll connect to your already setup realvnc server, and it was the only one he found that the touch input seemed to make sense. He said he switched to VLC players built in video streaming for what he was using it for though.
i m using only teamviewer and rdp
