I'd like to know if it's possible to route microphone audio input via the Transformer to a PC during an RDP session. For example, RDP into your PC, fire up an audio recorder on the PC, and see if you can get audio to record remotely.
One of you Transformer owners care to test this out?
TIA - Gunner
Question would be if there are any RDP apps that can do that.

I tested it with PocketCloud and 2XClient using RDP and both do not allow remote sound recording... not even in console mode.
Thanks. What about using the built-in RDP app that's pre-loaded on the Transformer?
I'm curious. What would you use it for?

I'd use it for dictating reports straight into my work PC via Dragon. This would be incredibly useful for me while out in the field, and would cut a step out of my work process. There currently is no useful voice-to-text dictation app available for Android (for dictating lengthy reports).

what are some things you guys do with the xoom that makes you happy that you spent 600 $ on it
Get an OTG cable and a USB controller and play some emulators. You can also try and load Ubuntu on it.
Get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and an HDMI cable. Hook the xoom up to the TV and browse the web or play games. Download a remote desktop client and access your computer from anywhere. Just a few things.

This, along with Drop Box and a word processing app, can allow the Xoom to replace your laptop entirely. As stated, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse will make such tasks easy.
I currently have control of seven computers, my website, and I'm working on my pc controlled entertainment system. I also have surveillance cameras tied to my desktop, which I can monitor using my Xoom from anywhere. I'll be upgrading to x & z motion control this summer.
Make an otg cable. Use USB devices.

First, confirming that Android TV works over 4G and WiFi on my G2x on all of the remote computers I've accessed.
My purposes for this app is for remote tech support for family and friends. I was looking for an app that was affordable, and one that I could use both my laptop/DT and Droid to access other computers.
Haven't had a single force close and I've tried just about every option available in the app. [Currently running CM7 #103 on faux123's OC/UV.]
Couple great things about the app:
1. EASY to use.. (install app, install client on remote PC, Input ID/Pass to Connect)
2. FAST interface. Even with 4G I was able to quickly run around on Desktops. The mouse uses touch-screen control. The keyboard works great. I haven't tested this in "optimized quality" yet. But you can adjust the quality based on your needs.
3. FEATURES are enough for any remote tech support. I haven't tested it for remote TV/Movie viewing from PC to Droid.. but I don't think TV is regularly used for that purpose anyway.
4. Oh.. and of course, TV is FREE. I've had a few people recommend LogMeIn, but the app costs a mint and the RDP client for PC to PC access is licensed at another montly/yearly rate... The WYSE app is another popular app (Still expensive), but TV just seems easier to use for both Droid & PC-based Remote Viewing.
Please let me know if anyone has had an equal or better experience with PocketCloud or any of the Microsoft RDP apps. For now, this seems like the best free (client-based) app available for remote win/mac desktop viewing/control.
Note: I'm aware there are threads for this app in other phone model forums. The purpose of this was to confirm the apps reliability on G2x (running CM7) and further explain the features available in comparison to other similar apps.
I been using it since I got my G2X back in feb. could'nt use it on my My Touch 3G. Cant wait to get next years 4.5+ inch quad core phones. The Dell Streak should have sat out a year and lost some weight lol.
Yea i've been using TV since i got my g2x also, it's great. Free and e z to use and works really well... i use it to spy on my girl when im gone with the web cam. j/k... no really
What is the nameof the app?

Just tried out TV with my G2x on my work computer and is so smooth running on the G2x. Very impressed in the app
Been using team viewer on the g2x for a while now. Works excellently. Been using it mostly to start up my Minecraft server for my buddies when I'm not at home lol.

Does it stream sound from your pc to phone? Allow you to mount ur SD card as a network drive on the PC, etc?
I would love this
I have my old Legend Smartphone connected to a subwoofer and speakers to play the mp3 on its sd card with better quality and more volume throughout my pad.
What I want to do is controlling the music player (any music player) on the Legend with my Galaxy Nexus, which is connected to the same Wifi network. As my place has 2 stories, it's a hassle to walk down, if I just want to skip a song or manipulate volume or equalizer settings.
Did anyone have a similar problem? I played around with twonky servers, allshare, dnla and Media Server apps, but it seems, they only stream back to my Nexus, which I don't want, as it's in my pocket and not connected to the sound system. Tried Airdroid, but it doesn't have that functionality and runs horribly slow in the phone browser.
I'm a bit clueless now on how to achieve this simple function. Could anyone push me in the right direction or towards the app, that could do something like that?
Thanks a million!

VNC? There may be some other solutions, I just immediately think VNC for remote control. If you have root on your old phone there are good VNC servers out there.
Yup, both phones are rooted.
So what you suggest is installing a vnc server app on the Legend and a vnc client on the Nexus to control the Legend's music player with? Interesting! Gotta give that a try.
Do you have any apps you would personally recommend due to their ease of use and light overhead?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
am using
droid VNC server BETA, I was using the application its pretty gud
Thanks for the help so far! I'm using now droidVNC on the Legend and Mocha VNC as the client on the Nexus. Looking good so far and the overhead seems pretty low.
On the Legend I use Cloudskipper Music Player, as it offers good lock screen controls (including volume controls).
Will use it a while like that and maybe come up with some more ideas on how to smoothen the experience. I like also the controls and notifications of Simple Lock screen, although it doesn't have volume controls.
Anyway, thanks for helping out! ;-)

Hi all,
Recently i created a thread about some remote connections that were not really working out that well on the TF300..
Nobody gave me a response so i try it again ..
Somehow remote connections wont work properly on the TF300.
Unified remote and DLNA features wont work. Sometimes i can see my laptop and stream music to it but an hour later i have to reboot, restart apps, enable wifi disable, whatever to get it to work.
This problem is also in the unified remote app.
Now this can't be a problem on the tablet because my dad, with exactly the same tablet got exactly the same problems..
Come on XDA help me
Few things first....
My net app of Asus is crap... use bubble upnp
Don't use WiFi direct... it is not supported yet in jelly bean

So what do you think is the best app for DLNA playback ?
Bubble upnp

Upnplay : free from the market. Lousy interface, but fast and reliable. Has ability to have unlimited cache (=available memory) to load song and video listings.
I also often use J River Media Center (paid windows app) combined with Gizmo (free on market) on Android. That's the only solution which works fast enough with a very large (>100.000 songs) music collection. You need to leave your pc on and have JRiver running though, but it works great for all music, video & pictures that you manage on the pc through JRiver. Really, really fast.

Hi,
At home, I have both PC and iMac. I want to be able to connect to these devices via my note 8.0.
I know solution called LogMeIn, but it is an expensive one.
Do you know other cheap solution for the same task?
Thanks,
Tomer
PS - don't mind to have two apps , one for MAC, one for my PC

2x Client: http://www.2x.com/rdp-client/
Free, fast, convenient, just Android app - no additional software needed on PC, just configure RDP. According to to their website it works with Mac, but I don't know the details.
Add any Wake On LAN app, and you can remotely start your computer before launching RDP.

I use Splashtop to connect to Windows 8. It basically turns my android tablet into a windows tablet temporarily. I think it is renamed to splashtop personal.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app
For the best performance use Splashtop. VNC/RDP/X Forwarding and some other solutions can offer decent latancy for simple stuff but Splashtop is the best I've ever seen.
Also while most solutions make it impossible to watch a video over the connection and "Animation heavy" apps a pain, back before XFinity had an app, I would use Splashtop from my tablet and watch the movie through my desktops browser.
It's worth whatever the initial cost is these days.

Regarding splashtop & splashtop HD, although they're were both free, they're both older versions of splashtop personal (originally splashtop 2). they're not nearly as fast especially when switching from primary to secondary monitors. Althought... free is free.
jump desktop also allows rdp and vnc connections
the free version is limited to creating one connection only, however.
Best Remote Access
Splashtop Personal is best in quality to watch videos and control. btw, it's free over the same network bt access from anyware costs.....

yup splashtop is great:
1) it's streamer is also portable. From what I've read on the forums, you can copy it's whole program folder onto a usb flashdrive and run it from there so you don't have to install anything onto another computer if you ever have to control it via a local network (perfect for those on the spot power point presentations, this is where the screen 1 and 2 switcher on splashtop personal really flat out beats the old splashtops).
2) The only grip is with splashtop's new and faster technology, both computer and android device now should log in at least once via the net for it to work. you can disable the internet connection after but they must log in once. It would have been perfect except for this modification. As I said earlier, for those on the spot power point presentations, even with the portable streamer, you don'e always have access to the internet. Wish it had manual connection mode like the old splashtop.The only draw back...but otherwise...the best of the best....:
teamviewer, nothing better than that, with teamviewer qs, u can even remote yr android from pc, with teamviewer free, u can remote yr pc from android

Use OpenVPN to connect to your home network and use Splashtop. I had to do this since LogMeIn keep crashing my MacBook.
Download OpenVPN virtual machine, run it on your machine that is in ask the time, download the app from Google Play and you're good to go.
