hi, yeah sorry i mean to remote control a win7 pc, I cant find anything on marketplace called logmein, only comes up with phonemypc which ive tried and dont like.
How do i get this "logmein" ?

there was a .apk download somewhere here on the xda site, do a search for "logmein ignition beta" or something like that. you will also need a logmein account, its free and you need to download and install a virtually invisible program on your computer.

ok so it would seem that the beta is over (strange as mine is still running fine) but if you go here https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/android/, you might find what you are looking for when it is released, unless anyone else can find the download link.

Hmm the only one I've actually liked is phonemypc. Sure it doesn't have sound and no login support yet, but nothing beats getting to see your pc screen on your phone with 20 fps
I've also tried Remote RDP, but it didn't give me anywhere near the framerates of phonemypc on my part, plus setting up RDP is more of a pain if you want to use it over 3G.

Gmote is the best by far for controlling a PC

Gmote basically turns your phone into a mouse control for a HTPC...
not the same thing...
Can someone describe the differences between phonemypc and logmein? I currently use phonemypc and like it, but if there's something that would suite me better, I'd switch.

Not true, my friend uses it to control windows media center, you have to make the remote how you want it, he said its not obvious at first but once you figure it out you can program virtually any command in

Believe me, the BEST of all!!
xtralogic.com/rdpclient.shtml

Gmote is a great start: Stream music from the computer to the phone, Control PowerPoint, Use as a mousepad, Use to control windows media player, Use keyboad on phone to type on computer (Don't know why you would but neat anyway), Free version available but only us$2.99....BUT only on the wifi network, not remote thru cell towers..Xtralogic's Remote Desktop Client is a complete RDP with password protect and can be use anywhere!! BUT is US$19.95.....So there are 2 options depending on what suits your needs...Hope that helps!!!

What you should do is google 'RDP' and then see if your definition works along the lines of GMotes functionality.
To answer your question in short, no it doesnt.

I tried a couple of rdc's and Phonemypc was the best. Its one of my three favorite apps. Setup is an absolute breeze and the developer says sound will be added. Picture is great watching video so after sound it'll be perfect.

Hey people, thanks for the comments, I tried gmote it doesnt even recognise a simple .avi file on my Pc, was easy to setup and connect but i need it to play movies.
Does anyone have a .apk of the xtralogic rdp??

Posting of the .apk is not allowed because it is a paid app. But I agree, I have tried every other RDP client for android, and this is tops. If you need great RDP support on your phone, its worth it.

[Q] Shutdown computer via ip address

Is there an app that can shutdown a windows computer just using its ip address without the need for installing a client on the computer.
Am looking for something like this to use at work on our domain.
Cheers

Sorry I just know wake on lan :/

run > shutdown -i
Works with hostname. I haven't tried with IP addresses, but i think that works too.

You'd have to create some kind of server... you have to have something that will accept connections on the server end. Whatever it may be, including SSH, etc.

http://tweetmypc.codeplex.com/
Could do what you want and more but you won't be able to turn off a computer without a way (service or server) that allows it

smb
there'sis somethinglike that ... but it checks for a security hole in "windows vista and 7 ONLY" no XP""" Vista and 7,... ok you can connect to the same network and input the IP and NUKe it.."test for the security hole, if the machine has it, it will shut down.. now aday.. 5 out of 10 machines has that hole open.. so its 50 50 chance but still good to test!
ITS CALLED "SMB CHECK"

That's frightening. If your computers have this vulnerability, they should be patched... not exploited
But anyway... something that actually executes against the credentials of your system is definitely the way to go.

Been playing with ssh so I just connect to a pc from phone and issue command to that an shut any computer on network down. Shame there isn't an app that can do out in a few clicks.

Cool man. I can't imagine it'd be too hard to write one, especially if it's just triggering a bash script with a specified argument (of the host name).
Out of curiosity, are you connecting via VPN? If so, what are you using?
I'm excited for the release of the Cisco Cius and their AnyConnect client, which will hopefully be ripped (or released).

Not using vpn am connected to nw via wireless.
If a talented dev would take up the challenge and code an app for this it would be great, if only I could code

Xtralogic Remote Desktop App

I now and again use a Remote Desktop app called 'Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client' on my Nexus One.
I wondered if anyone here has that app on there Tab, and if it goes full screen when Remote Desktoping and what the pinch to zoom and navigating around is like?

PocketCloud from Wyse Technologies is the best client i ever used
i can do remote desktop, vnc and vmware

Ditto on pocketcloud.

Pocketcloud with the Gmail sync! Awesome plus no need for port forwarding.

I use the Xtralogic RDP client regularly and it is working very well on the Tab. I'll have to try out the Wyse app.

Forgive me if this sounds ignorant but how are these apps different from LogMeIn?
I just tried LogMeIn and its an awesome app..do these give more functionality?

Doesn't LogMeIn cost a fortune?

I don't use Logmein because I don't want to install a client on all of my servers when RDP is built in.

Tried using the pocketcloud app, while using autodiscovery - no computers listed after successful login on both devices. Using Win 7 pro and Galaxy Tab.
How can I make it work? Thanks in advance

[Q] Anyone knows an app to control phone from pc?

Been searching everywhere for an app that will allow me to control my phone from the pc. Really need this due to my disability(and having just bought a massive galaxy tab).
I used to use my mobiler on winmo and it was great!
Would be willing to pay for the app also.

i think there is one called vnc server

Sorry should have said i tried it, can see a picture but can't get mouse and keyboard to work on it.
If i'm doing something wrong i'd appreciate some help!

I just had one that seemed to work pretty well but I deleted it a few days ago... Let me see if I can find it again

Mine works well! i'm using linux. however, sometimes the screen doesnt refresh on my computer :|

Hi mcnally,
I have successfully used 'droid VNC server' in the past.
What VNC client are you using on your desktop? I have used tightvnc, realvnc and ultravnc (they all do the same thing, just differently)
I had assumed that keyboards & mice were configured automatically, but there can be a "view only" option that may have stopped your keyboard & mouse from interacting.
Also - sometimes VNC is quite laggy, so laggy it looks like its not responding! your client should have a setting to reduce the color depth, this transmits less data & can help the lag but you loose colours. There may also be settings to reduce data transfer further, like handling the mouse on the client side etc...

Wifi yes but i'd prefer to use usb, whatever is easiest tho. I was using the ultra vnc viewer, any other suggestions?

I use webkey, very easy to setup and can be used over 3G. You can even track where your phone is at the moment, or let it ring (like HTC's Sense )

[Q]ASUS MyDesktop Remote Software

Can this only be used in the local network and not over the internet? It keeps telling me that it cannot locate the device. In the description it says "finds all local devices."

You can certainly use it over the net.
You will need to have the splashtop app running on your machine and need to set up port forwarding on your home router. The application uses tcp ports 6783, 6784 and 6785.

You will also need your IP that your ISP assigns you. Hopefully it doesnt change regularly then you should be good to go.

A fix for that is to sign up w dyndys.org. then u can use hostname instead of ip.

Terrible idea to use it over the internet, just do a port scan for those ports and you can see anyone running this over the net. Then it's just a matter of exploiting the host or figuring out a weak password.

How do all the other remote desktops work then?
I used to remote desktop into my PC all the time with a laptop.
Not trying to be a smart as*, I'm just asking.

It would be better to set up a VPN back to your home network, then use the software to connect to your computer.

Go to logmein.com and check this site out. I've been using them for 3 years now
