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

Is there a remote desktop viewer for ubuntu?

I use phonemypc to log into my windows pc but does anyone know of one that will work with ubuntu? Most are just compatible with windows, some with mac. I guess the only way is to set up a vnc server on my ubuntu computer?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Well, you really don't have to "set up" a VNC server in Ubuntu because Ubuntu's remote desktop application is actually VNC, not RDP. Just enable remote desktop in the system settings, set up the appropriate port forward rules on your router and you should be good to go.

Thanks I'll try that, I was hoping for an app that had a nice ui and possibly even sound. I use a vnc app to connect to a linux box I have anyways but its real laggy.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

What do you use? I use Remote VNC Pro and it's the best I've use. Allows for pinch to zoom and panning which makes it really easy to navigate a desktop. Speed will depend more on your phone data connection speed and your home internet's upload speed.

I use android vnc, it works ok and only in landscape. So I guess I would just configure it to connect to my home ip address.

well i tried to set up remote desktop and i'm getting your desktop is not reachable....only on local network. i know this means that i need to forward ports on my router which i did, ports 5900-5999 which i believe should cover all vnc ports. however canyouseeme.com's open port check tool is saying they are closed, so i think my isp is blocking vnc ports or something. any ideas?

[Q] need to control my tab from pc!

Hey all,
I just got a tab today, all new so far. Due to my disability i really need to be able to control the tap from my windows pc(similar to my mobiler for winmo). I've seen android screencast, i can get it to come up on screen but more nor keyboard work.
I spent the whole day(12 hours) trying to get around this. Does anyone know of any apps that actually work? I don't mind paying for it either.
I've dried droid vnc server and its not really working either. Thanks in advance.

Try remote rdp enterprise. Available in the market. Install it. Works great.

Logmein ignition should help

WEBKEY is defo the app to go for, does everything you could wish for ..

droid explorer works.
enable usb debugging on the Tab
then go to tools, then plugin and select screencast. wait for java plugin to run and the screen for the Tab should pop up. you can control it from here.
it might be a little slow but it works.

Remote web desktop, acts as a proxy to most of the main functions.

Many thanks!

I had been using the Wyse PocketCloud Pro application, but this client is so superior. Little slower to connect, but once connected, it is twice as fast with twice the resolution.
If you are connecting to a VMWare remote desktop, this is absolutely the application to use!

Thanks for posting this!

Teamviewer is even better imho. And supports VPN aswell.

installed on my HTC HD2 Android, works

hey man the dropbox link is not working. say page couldnt be found

Anyone have an opinion on how well this works versus Splashtop?

Best RDP app?

I need an RDP app to remote to Windows 8 PC. Most of the apps I have tried will connect but just display a blank screen. I tried iTap which connects and displays the screen nicely but the keyboard doesn't pop up automatically, you have to select it yourself from the menu bar. Once the keyboard is up it covers half the screen, usually the part you want to type in.
Ideally I'd like an RDP app that works with the S-Pen, and pops up the keyboard automatically.
Any suggestions?

The best, i know is: PocketCloud

I prefer TeamViewer it works perfekt and is free for none commercial use

TeamViewer requires an install on the PC you are wanting to remote into? Therefore it's not actually an RDP client?

PocketCloud looks cool! Thanks for posting that. Installing the free version now to try out.

Great suggestion just tried it and it even tracks the s pen!

I mostly used PocketCloud Pro too, but 2X and Jump Desktop are worth looking into too.

I use Splash top HD. Works really well for me with no lagging. The keyboard has a screen key you show it with. The pen can also be used with One Note. Not sure about other programs.

You can try jump desktop...its on promotion on play store right now...just don`t forget to disable optimized drawing in settings

You can't click with SPen....

My fave RDP
Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client (http://www.xtralogic.com/rdpclient.shtml)
It's a paid app, but I found it well worth it

I'll second this. Although I was lucky to purchase it back when it was only $12.

I know you said RDP but vnc viewer is nice

Ditto... I know you said RDP but Splashtop works quite well.

Pocket Cloud by WYSE is definitely the best, worth the $15 for the pro version. Best feature I recently discovered is that it has Wake On LAN built in!

Any one of this RDP apps allow to listen audio on android instead of audio in laptop,
I mean does any app redirects audio in good conditions?
(tries 2x but there is a huge sound lag in android ...)

yes TW requires to be installed on pc but no you dont require permission to login everytime

Jump Desktop
I'm using Jump Desktop and today was updated with a touch function for windows 8, it's working great! almost like if I have a win8 tablet. Hovering the spen works as a mouse pointer and you can left and right click by touching the screen and using the side button.

Sorry for asking but what's the difference between rdc and Splashtop like software?
OT: Splashtop works very very well for me, tried the pocket cloud but it's Very laggy. Now I just need a windows 8 pc to try its gesture functions.
