I am a Windows user and i use Remote desktop alot. I have Remote desktop client on my Vibrant and connect to my Windows desktop. but i was wondering if there is an app to connect to android desktop remotely. i know you can connect to linux desktop using VNC. So Linux do support remote desktop is that possible on Android?
This looks like it should suit your needs...

That one appears to need root, there is logmein and its ignition for android software (logmein has a free package but the ignition is not free though) or you can try wyse, which works on remote desktop and it isnt free either. Not sure if there are other free ones that does NOT require rooting though.
He wants to remote TO the phone, not from it (the phone as the server, not the client).
As far as I'm aware, any app that does this will need root privileges in order to capture the screen.
Thank you. I tried driod VNC and its really slow. but the good part is the source is available... maybe i will take a look at the it and see if i can do something about it.
Logmein is not free its $30...
Yes. mine is rooted and even unlocked. so i am ready for anything new...
My bad, didn't read the entire post properly
Android Screencast
Android Screencast works pretty well. A bit choppy, but it works. It's in java, so it should work on any OS.

Has anyone had any success using remoting programs such as teamviewer from their mobile phone? I tried with my Excaliber today but it wasnt quite working. Id like to be able to access my home computer via my device...tell me any success stories or hints you may have
there's no TeamViewer for mobile..
but you can use z2remote2pc.. works for me
There are plenty of programs you can use for remote desktop purposes, although nothing (AFAIK) like TeamViewer (so you'll have to make sure that the server has an an open port)
There are plenty of VNC programs like:
- Mocha VNC (can connect to Real/Ultra/Tight/OSX VNC and Apple Remote Desktop)
http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm
- .NET VNC Viewer (Freeware)
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net
And if you want to use the Remote Desktop protocol:
- Mocha Remote Client
You may also use the Terminal Services Client if your pocket pc has it (Check under programs).
oh wow, I didn't realize how many options there'd be, thanks for the insight guys!
logmein.com
try logmein.com
it works fine for me...
hi

There is a beta version of TeamViewer for Android which can be downloaded from the TeamViewer website.
I just downloaded it... it works awesome.... Make sure teamviewer version 6 is also installed on your computer. Very easy to login. For I.T. , you can actually troubleshoot and reboot computer remotely.
Is not working anymore, and not available from the market, anybody knows what happened?
don't know about the market, but you can download it directly from webpage of TV:

Has anyone been able to get remote desktop to xp home working? I can vnc to my ubuntu desktop but cant connect to my xp netbook. Tried tightvnc and ultra vnc on the netbook but neither worked for me. I could be setting the server up wrong though.
Thanks

Hi,
If you really mean "remote desktop" to WinXP Home, I don't think XP Home has terminal services (only XP Pro does, I think).
You can try the pocketcloud free trial on market. That supports both VNC and RDP protocols, but the trial version only allows you to set up one computer at a time.

I guess remote desktop viewing would the more generic term.
My understanding is that tight VNC and ultra VNC both add this functionality to windows XP home. I've got two VNC apps that work well on the gtab as viewers (i can remote view my ubuntu desktop). It was easy to set up, but then again ubuntu comes native with VNC support out of the box.
Just wondering if anyone has had experience running TightVNC or UltraVNC servers on XP successfully.
VNC has no encryption, keep in mind (password and data flow in the clear). There are ways to add encryption, but it may not be a free solution.
I used to add VNC to Windows some years back, but layered it with SSH to add the encryption layer.
I use xtralogic remote desktop. Seems to work pretty good.

I have Ultra vnc server on one of my XP Home machines, and it works fine. Maybe the XP firewall is blocking the incoming connection? You can turn off the firewall temporarily to test.

Xtralogic remote desktop is the best rdp software for android. Uses the screen like a touchpad and follows the mouse.
best remote software by far is LogMeIn i love it and use it every day, not only does it work computer to computer but works very well from g tablet to my home machines, you can install the free version on the computer than get the logmein app which does cost something not sure exactly what since i got it a while back, just google search it in the market. cant hurt to buy it and try it if you dont like it just return it in 24 hours
Figured it out. Port forwarding is kind of flaky on my router and it takes it a couple trys before the setting will stick.
AS the title says....
I've got a Xoom running on Honeycomb (3.2) and need to remote control it from a PC (or other device if that's easier). I've tried the VNC server, remote web desktop (plus add-on) and some others but none seem to work.
All I want is to control it exactly the way it looks on the tablet so I can help my parents out when they get stuck. I'm not interested in media controls etc.
TIA
Never mind. I found a later beta of Droid VNC Server that seems to work well enough to do some quick support ;-)

so im sure youve seen idisplay, extend your pc screen onto your android device but the software costs a few bucks.
is there a free alternative to idisplay?
Sort of like a remote viewer? Try Teamviewer, free remote access to your computer. I use it all the time for personal use and to help friend and family with their computers.
nope, it uses your android device or ios or watever as another computer monitor
Well Teamviewer would viewer would work for that, it just can also control it.

Teamviewer only shows the CURRENT desktop screen, it doesn't allow you to extend to a second desktop.
There is unfortunately no alternative as of yet, and I HAVE been looking.
Try ZoneOS ZoneScreen+VNC.
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
