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.

Remote Control Your Phone from Your PC

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.

Remote Desktop App

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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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!!!

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.

[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 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 :|

VNC!

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 )

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
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

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

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.
