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.

+1, on the free side android-vnc works too
Does anyone know if there is any software out there
that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.
There is a great software package out there made by
http://www.soti.net/
but they do not have software available for Android.
This would be for use with the new evo
Any ideas?
Thansk
Picme in market.
You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app
I'm currently working on data access and full phone control. It's kinda hard to get everything working together.

Have you heard of this product?
http://airwatchstore.com/
I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.
Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?
Thanks
*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.
I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.

GOT IIIIIIIIT!!! dload Webkey from market!!!
yup - webkey works. Nice to have.
anyone know which remote desktop app is good? im looking for app to control my desktop through 3g network (not wifi). Please let me know your opinions. which is worth the money and the better free apps.
Was a thread a couple days ago...i downloaded remote desktop and it works great for me

i'm looking for the best one too. i'm currently using phonemypc and it seems ok but it's a bit laggy even over wifi.
I'm using WYSE or something like that. Works good so far and it's free.

do you know if it can connect over 4g? or any program that can connect over 4g?
ive been using myphonepc aswell. super easy setup when you want to add another computer.
phone my pc is amazing, over 3g it's quick and over wifi it's super speedy even on the highest quality. The ease of use is very nice, and my favorite feature is that since it's essentially just VNC and not remote desktop it doesn't force you to log out the current user session like when you connect over remote desktop. Totally worth the $10 it costs, 5/5 score
LogMeIn Ignition Beta is actually on the market believe it or not, FOR FREE!
It's just I forgot where I found it. You can browse through the market and download it, it's just when you search it's not found. I remember going @[email protected] when I saw it as I didn't think it existed. this was like 2 days ago
AWW crap its a closed beta I should have kept the APK!!!

"Trial date has expired"
Also, don't you have to pay for log me in ignition anyways.
Man I downloaded that online -_-
Man i wish I would have not restored my Evo i swear I downloaded it off of Market like 2 days ago logged in and used it and everything
when i downloaded it , it was free beta
I use Xtralogic's remote desktop and love it! That WYSE app is nice too.
I think there is a lot of missing information being provided here by people.
I have used LogMeIn and PhoneMyPC, but the latter doesn't allow for logging in and the former did not let me do any mouse clicks.
Which of these apps actually fully works (log on, mouse clicks, etc.) with the EVO and that fact that it does not have a tackball to act as the mouse?
Ceger
Well, no one asked those specific questions... The Xtralogic Remote Desktop app, uses the screen like ur laptop touchpad... mouse clicks work the same way. The WYSE app, allows u to click by pressing what u want to click, kinda like doing to natively from the phone... why not just download them and see for urself?
I can logon using both, btw

Thanks for the feedback!
Tried WYSE, but seemed slow using VCN. Not sure I want to try Remote Desktop as I do not want to have to use RDC services as it logs you out of your current PC session.
I have just noticed that PhoneMyPC has been upgraded to have Logon Support, but the current version is having network issues, in that it cannot connect at all. Since I had bought that previously, I will probably wait for that to be corrected.

You get what you pay for. It's not cheap but I bought the xtralogic rdp also and I must say I am BLOWN AWAY. Over WiFi its smooth as butter. It's not perfect over 3g but works well enough. I love how you can define the screen resolution.
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.

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...

VNC can be a bit laggy at times, but its still good!

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 )

thanks but i'm looking to control my phone from my pc
There are too many apps that doing this - remote control the pc, but I didn't found any good that do it 'quietly', without any notification that shown on the PC, most of them show a notification or a service that shown on systemtray. Donno if its possible to remote control without dl and using a 3rd party software on the PC, but I want something that doing this control hidden...
Would like to hear about applications that fit to the description ...
Thanks

There is a very good reason why these sort of apps give a notification on the screen - it is so that anyone using the PC at that time knows that what they are doing is being watched.
As for doing this without downloading anything to the remote PC - not possible. Even if it is malware hidden in a spam email it will need to download something.
To do it without notification would either make you a spy or a stalker
To that end I'm going to report this thread for the Mods to decide on.

Well, I guess its not sound that good, but YOU did talk about malware or spying...not me.
There is a APP that doing what I've described (I forgot its name) - you need user/password on the PC but its not pushing notification everytime like TeamViewer, I want something that control like teamviewer but used like (on systray)
However, mr.guy, there are so many remote application on google play, so instead of trying all the 1000 I just want a recommand for a good one.
You can forget about your your hallucinations about spyware and other nonsense, it really does not interest me.
thanks (for nothing) for jumping my thread , maybe someone will be usefull than you.

If you just want something that you can use to log in without actually having a user sat at the remote PC then you should look at LogMeIn - it's what I use for managing my customer's EPoS kit as I can just assign a fixed password to the machine and log in whenever I want to. They still get a notification on the screen that I've connected, but that's all.
