(Q) Security question.

Just wondering what everyone uses for any kind of Anti Virus software for Phone and or PC. If there are any products tied together now.

I use Lookout. It seems to work for me, but I guess that's only something you really know when it doesn't work. I don't use anti virus for my mac. I'm hard core like that. not really

I use lookout for my phone. I can't remember what I use for my PC...I'll post that when I'm home later.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I don't use any on my phone or any on my pc. (windows 7)

Yea I agree, a good firewall and common sense have worked good enough for me for a few years now. Any protection just seems like bloat to me. (This is my opinion for the PC, I'm not as sure for the phone since I'm on my first android, so I threw Lookout on just in case )

on PC i use microsoft security essentials, along worth a hefty dose of common sense.
on my phone, I don't have any installed, as I don't routinely install apps I feel iffy about.

I have had a few macs over the past 8 years never ran any security software on them and was not the most scrupulous with my browsing actives....I havent put any thing on my phone yet either. I'm not sure if its necessary or just a waste of battery

Nothing so far on the mez. I use Sophos here at work and it is by far the best I have seen and used. It is very light and has not let anything thru on our company network since implementation. (Knock on wood) We used symantec before and that software is very flawed and bloated. A good site to check oit is virustotal.com for single instance checks of files or websites

I use MSE, I've tried them all and it has the smallest footprint and seems to be the best out of all the desktop ones. My school uses Sophos and I've seen multiple viruses get through. I don't use anything on my phone, they're all just annoying and in the way.

I use AVG on both pc and phone. Never a problem. On the Mez the footprint is small enough and the only indication that it's there is that it scans the DLs as they finish. Not really much of a delay. Necessary? I dunno.

[Q] Is there a VNC SERVER App for Android so I can control my phone from my Mac?

I know in the past there have been threads on this, but they're all 1-3 years old. What's the best client I can use on my handheld?
I just came from iOS, where I had a client that allowed me to control my iPhone's screen from my computer (MAC), so when I'm sitting at my desk I can send\receive text messages from my phone without having to pick up the phone.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

I can't believe it's been 24 hours and nobody has replied
I think it's actually a VNC SERVER we need... to view your desktop on the phone, you'd install a CLIENT on the Inspire 4G, but to view your Inspire 4G on the desktop, you need a VNC host\SERVER on the inspire.
There's several options on iPhone, and whatever iPhone does, Android does 10x better, so there must be server apps available for Android, I just wish someone would tell me what it's called.

Pocket cloud supports vnc but it isn't free.

From what I see, PocketCloud is like GoToMyPC, not really a point to point solution like I'm looking for. I just want to VNC\Screen share my android within my home network.

Yeah this is a CLIENT app... in other words, it allows me to control my computer from my phone. I want the other way around. I want to control my PHONE with my computer.
I want to be able to leave my phone in my pocket, VNC into my phone so I can check and reply to a text that comes in from my computer's screen without having to take the phone out of my pocket.
Make sense?

Searched the market and found a VNC server app, but I'm having difficulties getting it to work, it's buggy, hopefully someone knows of a better app.

I use WebKey https://market.android.com/details?id=com.webkey And it works beautifully. Its not quite a VNC app but it does what i want it to

This looks REALLY promising, thanks! I'll play with it but I think it'll do the trick

May want to change the title for this thread then, it says client even though at least to me what you want is clear, I don't know of any offhand though.
Which one did you try already?

PhoneMyPC works flawlessly any time i use it. I got overly frustrated with all the other programs out there. Sometimes i get lazy and I use it as a mouse when i'm lying in bed.
The pc software has been running in win7 for months and it never seems to conflict with any other programs.
get it

I have used Unified Remote with good success on several android devices with my multimedia pc that's hooked to the TV in the living room. My wife likes me using my tablet or phone better than the wireless keyboard.

S Pen Question

Hello All,
I am a high school math teacher considering the purchase of this for classroom usage. My goal is to wirelessly connect to my desktop PC and run my windows software from the tablet (using Jump Desktop or something similar). I will be controlling a program called SMART Notebook. My question is this: the only reason I really want this tablet over many others is the accuracy of the S Pen, which will be awesome for writing equations and such. However, will the S Pen even work while using those remote desktop control apps? I've heard people say it only works for a hand full of apps. If this is true, I would not purchase this tablet. Other tablets just are so unresponsive with styli that I've tried. It's very frustrating. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

In case this is a tl;dr situation:
Will the S pen function smoothly and accurately in an app such as Jump Desktop or any other app where you remote access a PC?

U do know that the s note app automatically does math formulas and equations. Actually works pretty cool. Just to play around I wrote up a bunch of fake equations and it figured it out

Somehow i think you unresponsiveness issue is not coming from tablet itself but the network you used to connect both device... if that's the case note 10.1 wont be any help either...

I was testing the tablets with no network connection. I was just testing the accuracy of writing with various styli on various tablets. I didn't have an opportunity to try the whole PC remote control setup in the store.
Is it just me? Do I suck at using styli? Haha. I couldn't get things to write correctly. It would always miss spots in my numbers and stuff. As if you're writing in pen and it is running out of ink.

Can't get full webpages on XDA website on my PC..help!

Ok, so I use the xda app on my Nook Tablet, but when going to the website via google browser on my windows xp computer, the webpages are not downloading completely....I get the top Navigation Bar and whatever pop up ad is running but no info below! What's up with this? I need to get in via my PC to download some ROMs and apps.
Is this because I'm running xp instead of windows 7?
I can get the full pages on my browser on the Nook Tablet (rooted) but can't afford enough dropbox storage to get all the ROMs and other files I need uploaded and downloaded to my PC. Anyway, this just seems odd.
This is probably something technically stupid, but, please help if you can!
Thanks..
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda app-developers app

It may seem simple, but have you tried using a different browser on your PC?
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!

Can't get full xda website using XP/Explorer 8 huh?
Oh yes, been there done that! Oddly, on my mom's computer running windows 7 I had no problems.....but it seems hard to believe having xp would limit me that way. I used to be able to get in and see just fine until the last month or so. Checked Norton for any blocks/limitations but none I could see!
Totally perplexed. I am running out of hard drive space but can't see why that would make this happen, unless RAM somehow dips in when needed? But no problems on any other sites!
I am using Explore 8 as primary browser as 9 won't load on xp.....perhaps this is it?
Thanks for your reply. Any other ideas? Any devs or admins out there who can answer?
