I'm not liking the stock Remote Desktop.. seems like it connects whenever it wants to.. Any other paid apps that do the job good, with pinch to zoom ? I have an HD2
+1 im interested too..
Moved as not software release.
I'm not sure about Remote Desktop but if want to use VNC then MochaSoft VNC is well worth the asking price.
Is there anything that supports HD2 PINCH ZOOMand looks just as good as the original MS Remote Desktop ?

Hi,
Does anyone know a decent remote control application for the HD2?
By that I mean something to control Windows Media Player running on my PC from my phone.
I know I could use the remote desktop application but I'm looking for something more simple, like a basic remote with pause, play, volume, etc.
Either bluetooth or wifi run...
Thanks

How to get that zoom help tool in that video. The minifullscreen at the bottom at the screen.???
As the guy on youtube said, you just have to pinch to zoom and if the actual view is not the smallest one, you will have this little navigation view

It's a WMC remote... works over wifi...
Edit:- Sorry mis read the first post.. I thought you were running windows media center... as your not it won't be much good
what about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783973
this will do the trick for you
<Google> Seelisoft Remote Control
can control winamp, wmc, wmp etc
you can also use the HD2 as a keyboard/mouse for the computer
im using it over wifi but it will work over gprs as well if you portforward to the relevant computer
edit: it's the same as the above
Just curious if anyone know's the best way to do this.. Google music only works for andriod and grooveshark is not working anymore.. Any ideas?
tonido works well
There's a subsonic app for WP7 as well..
Just need the server component at home..
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp
The already mentioned apps work fine, but you might probably take a look at MyMedia WP7.
Not saying this is the best. Windows Home Server 2011 and MS app My Home Server works here to stream media to the phone. Just another possibility if you happen to have Windows Home Server..
Thank you all very much, going to try out mymedia sounds pretty good.
What is the best application for remote desktop?? I used LogMeIn Ignition only that it is very uncomfortable because you do not have to touch something, but you have to select where you want to marry the image to bring it to the center of the screen pointer
I like using androidvnc and it's free. It's pretty easy to control and it suits my needs but I've never tried logmein ignition or any other paid apps and I don't use it to do a lot

TeamViewer VNC and I tried but I do not like there would be other alternatives?
TeamViewer is awsome if your client are using it.
PocketCloud (pro version is kinda expensive) for everything else (it does RDP really really well)
I use Xtralogic Remote Desktop for a remote desktop connection. Works great, because you can move your mouse like you do on a touchpad on your laptop. So you don't have the problem that your finger is not exactly on the screen what you want to hit.
I don't see many posts about remote desktop but I've found that using my Surface RT + remote desktop to connect to my Windows 8 Pro computer at home is an amazing way to work. The touchscreen even works to navigate the remote computer.
And, since the micro hdmi on the surface supports 1080p, I can connect to a full size screen.
Does this actually work fine then? It's what I plan on doing tbh, I have a media centre PC under my TV that I want to install Windows 8 Pro on and use Remote Desktop.

it works very well. I do prefer the classic RDP client over the new RT one though because of easier touch gestures.

The screen on the htpc will lock when you rdp in. If you want to see the screen on the tv and your surface you'll have to use remote assistance.

Doesn't bother me too much... although it'd be good to have both, I just want tot have the option there to run Intel apps *if* I ever had the need.
It's actually awesome! I use Vuze a lot for movies and such. I have them saved on my computer, and use the network link to move them to my Surface. I was thinking I would need to do it thru the SD Card, but this is much easier

Is it possible to use the older RDP client and enable monitor spanning to remote connect using the tablets screen as well as a 1080p monitor?
For the sake of argument, could you use the remote desktop to use image editing software such as Photoshop through the Surface? Obviously, the screen is probably way too small in terms of both physical size and resolution to really be of much use but for less complex editing it would be awesome...
Absolutely. Bear in mind that the Surface RT doesn't have a stylus digitizer, so you'd be stuck with capacitive touch or mouse+keyboard for input (although now that I think about it, you can probably use a Wacom USB tablet with the Surface's USB port...) but in general, yes you could do this. I already have Remote Desktop pinned to my Surface's taskbar (along with Powershell, which also allows a different kind of remote access).

That is good to hear! My dilemma has been that I want a portable device so that I'm not glued to my desk for the majority of the day but the major obstacle has been finding a tablet that can actually do what my computer does. Remote Desktop sounds like an answer.
What would the frame rate be stable enough to remote my computer and remote desktop from work with no lag?
For example, internet browsing on chrome or watching a youtube video through remote desktop.

Or you can download google chrome and the app for remote desktop for chrome....Works pretty good for me.....should work fine for surface....or RT...
You should search the forum - there is a thread on Remote Desktop, and it explains how to use Remote Apps, which imho, is the best way to utilize x86 apps on your surface RT...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977545&highlight=remote+apps
I get little to no lag running Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc. For the few times that I actually need to run an x86, this is the way to go. Do not expect to stream movies, or music from your desktop - although, I guess it depends on your connection - I have my home laptop connected to Linksys G router (im sure if I upgraded to N, it might be faster).
I found an interesting company (Mikogo) who have launched a cloud based Windows 8 desktop (which is actually Windows Server 2012). This doesn't have a windows 8 app but runs through HTML. In theory this would be great as it says you can install your own apps so is less restrictive than Cloudon and Onlive Desktop if you've used those on other platforms.
I requested an account and could then access a desktop via HTML5 using IE on my Windows 8 PC. However it doesn't work on my Surface RT browser (Metro or desktop) as the mouse cursor is not captured for some reason (I've tried via the touchpad and a mouse via USB). Note that even on a PC the performance is slow, although this is a beta.
If anyone wants to try this out I'm curious why it doesn't work in the RT IE10 browser but it does on the desktop. I did feed this back to Mikogo but they don't have an RT device to use (they suggested I try another browser on RT )
VNC has already been ported. Does the job, can be controlled by either device PC or RT.
What is the best RDP client for my TF700?
One that i can stream video/audio to my TF700 from my computer without hickups.
I see that PocketCloud have one... that cost a bit of money if you want to use 1920x1080 resolution.
I dont mind paying if i know it works good.
PocketCloud
PocketCloud works very well.
Why not download the free version to see if you like the results? The only features the free version lacks is the ability to configure multiple servers, custom resolutions, and support for WYSE's encryption scheme.
Streaming full-motion video over RDP is going to be a tall order for any app because of the limitations of WiFi and the fact that RDP isn't optimized for that kind of full-frame rendering. Have you considered something like installing Remote Potato on the server side and using Remote Media Center on the tablet side to stream your content? There are of course other packages for streaming content such as Plex or PS3 Media Server if you prefer something not dependent on Microsoft's Media Center framework.
I'm also a fan of PocketCloud; I even bought the paid version. For video I've had a lot better luck with MediaHouse and a UPnP server on my desktop.
I have used them all and the best by far is xtralogic. It does everything using native rdp compression so it is fast, has support for remoteapp, and is as "real time" as you can get with a rdp session. I currently have several users that use their tf700 as a thin client for their primary desktop. It works very well and is highly customizable.
If you are not tech savvy, go with a different one though. It requires a real rdp connection- so it works with terminal services and gateways flawlessly. If you know how to connect to the computer that you want to through a regular windows rdp session-- this will work the exact same.
The best I have found for the video/audio streaming requirement is splashtop thd-- IF you have a recently made nvidia graphics card. Can't beat that combination.
Splashtop 2 works great.
I bought PocketCloud, works nice yes!
Google updated their Youtube application, so that works very well now too.
But i use RDP often to my servers, so i bought it anyway.
For video stored on my server i found a file browser application with a nice SMB addon/builtin. File mamanger HD (play store link)
I've tried root explorer, astro, and a bunch more, but i found this the best. Can save shortcuts to shared folders on my fileserver.
I also bouhgt MX player (pro?) and it plays almost everything!
It's soon becoming a laptop replacement.
