I recently picked up a TF and really like it so far. I have been using connectbot on my phone for making ssh connections, but this app doesn't format itself well for tablets.
Anyone have a favorite ssh client that works well on tablet sized screens?

I like ConnectBot on the TF - only gripe I have with it is it handling of the shift-key, mainly because of the keyboard dock being able to sort out shift-key without having a "sticky shift" key functionality offered to phones.
Anyone else using a different ssh client?
I'd probably be happy with connectbot if it supported landscape.

I use better terminal pro. It seems to work well with the tablet form factor as well as with the keyboard dock.

It does support landscape, check rotation mode under settings

Are there any cool things you can do with the terminal emulator on MT? I currently have cm7 flashed

If you don't know, I wouldn't recommend trying
There used to be manual methods to rooting phones. But really, as long as you can hook it up and run "adb shell", using a computer is easier than typing on a phone's non-keypad.
So its just used to root phones?

Ehh... well it's kinda like the command prompt in DOS. You can poke around folders, run Linux-based commands, and things like that. ex. "mount" shows you all the partitions and how they're mounted. I once used "df" for something too, but I forgot how that went.
For tethering, a lot of people are setting MTUs of phones to 1472 so they can be compatible with the Triumph. I've never gotten two devices to tether, so I can't really comment on that either.
You wanna learn the command line for a phone, again I would recommend using a computer instead. And reading up on it, lol... most of the stuff really isn't that exciting. (Look up GScript perhaps... there's more exciting things there!)
anyone know of a app that you can control your phone via pc make phone calls text etc... i am not rooted as of now so i need something that does not require root would be sweet... pain in butt to text back on my dock have to pull the damn thing out !!!
I can almost guaranty that anything able to do what you want will require root. I could be wrong but don't think so.
Unfortunately the only 1 I know of that works is webkey, it requires root but works ok.

Droid VNC Server allows you to do this. I have it on my phone, but I'm fairly sure it requires root, just like many other great applications. Is there something that is preventing you from rooting?
There are many great resources on this site if you need help getting started.
By the way, Droid VNC Server does eat up CPU on the phone, but that shouldn't be much of a problem if you aren't doing anything too intensive and you are plugged in...
The fact that my phone and my pc can't communicate that is why I. Have not rooted

Have you installed the Samsung drivers for USB?

Maybe try that out or use Google Voice. I haven't used either in the way that you are describing but it might be worth looking in to these options.

Just intersted to know if anyone else is using their tablet as a second monitor and what software / setup is being use and there general latency / experience is like. I use idisplay on both USB and wifi and performance is pretty good, refresh is high enough to watch web video but it crashes media player when I drag movies onto it, havent found out why that is yet.
I mainly use mine as a second monitor for use with Presonus Studio one, I sometimes drag the midi track or a vst synth onto it so I can twiddle the knobs with touch instead of my mouse.
I use splashtop 2 on mine to access my 2 monitors.

Okay so bear with me here. I'm trying to figure out a way to connect my Samsung SGH-I927 (Captivate Glide) to the Note 10.1 so I can use the physical keyboard to type with on the tablet. Is this possible in any way so I can use the tablet as a monitor and my phone as a keyboard?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
No you cannot do that as to recognize the phone drivers will be required which is not possible
Why dont you just buy a usb keyboard in that case a cheaper option or a bluetooth one
Oh okay, I was just wondering if it was possible. I wanted to find another way for people to type on the tablet without having to buy a new device. Thanks for the answer though.

There are apps to remotely control other Android devices, isn't it possible that such a solution will work? Since you can control the controlled device both with the actual device and with the device acting as a remote control, you should be able to use your tablet for everything and then just use your phone to write. I've not tried this though, if anything I would like to use my tablet keyboard to my SGS3 but since I can send sms using my tablet there's really no point to be honest.

You understand what I'm trying to achieve here right? It would be nice to be able to type on the tablet without having the virtual keyboard come up on the screen, using your phone as the keyboard for your tablet. (I'm assuming it's easier for most people to type faster on the phone rather than tablet). I'm not talking just sms, more as overall typing in every app, if possible.
Again, this is just a question which I'm hoping that we can find an alternative to using a bluetooth keyboard. It would be helpful for anyone who doesn't want to lug around more accessories for their tablet.

I think so! I'm sorry if I confused you with the talk about sms, that's just a sidetrack why I don't think many have this kind of suggestion.
However, my solution for you would be this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote something like this, an app that allows you to remotely control another Android device including typing words (at least that's what the description tells). So, you use your tablet like you use to do and when you click on something where you wish to write you minimize the software keyboard on the tablet and use the phone instead.
I've not tried the app though, but there's a couple of different apps that do almost the same but in different ways and hopefully someone will do the trick.

No, it's okay, i just didn't want to be limited to sms .
I was looking at apps last night but it was late and didn't feel like running tests on different applications. I looked at that yesterday, I'm going to try it out later today. (still in bed at the moment since it's only 6:47 am). I also saw this app, and the interface seems basic. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m=organic&utm_term=android+mouse+and+keyboard I feel like this could work also. The remote desktop by Kolakowski Damian doesn't let you control the tablet in the manner that you want to.

Well, there's a chance that you have to test a couple of different apps before you find someone that does what you want it to do and more importantly, in the way you want it to. But I can't see why you shouldn't be able to do it, I have the Unified Remote app to control my PC with my phone and typing works great even though I don't get any auto correction. After all, it's a quite simple feature and shouldn't involve too much data transfers that can cause lag if implemented correctly.

Tablet remote definitely works, but there's one major problem to it when you use the physical keyboard on the glide. If I wanted to enter special characters (colon, semicolon, apostrophes) it would not register on the tablet and only certain keys would hit. It works for the regular virtual keyboard on the phone.
If you want an alternative, smaller keyboard for easier typing, try out tablet remote. I'm sure there are more apps which I will look into and post on here.

I'm basically just guessing here, but I think that might be because you are not using the same ASCII codes on your OS as your app. In my opinion that shouldn't be a problem since it should just send the codes to the other device, but if it's converting it to text before sending it over there might be a problem. After all, the most common use for this app I suppose is typing in an URL or maybe search for a song, at least that's that I'm doing when remotely control another device.
If there's not any settings where to specify regions in the app, hopefully there's an app that supports US (?) keyboards.
