Found this app useful especially when using the HDMI out. It basically turns your (rooted) Android phone into a bluetooth touchpad and keyboard which works with the transformer.

That's awesome. I'll be sure to try it when I receiver mine.

Are u looking for a mouse in phone? I did not follow the thread but if u need that u can find different app in android market such as v:mote or ' mouse in blue'
hope this help
Have you succeeded controlling your TF(from you android phone) using this app? If you did its awesome! Its exactly what I was looking for
So awesommeeeeee just what I wantedddd.
i looked on the market but most seem to be for controlling pcs rather than other android devices such as tablets.
Or does the fact it uses bluetooth make no difference as to what device it contects to and its just not mentioned in program description on market.
Thanks.
Jason.
I was wondering if there was an app that I could install on my Transformer and my Android phone that would let me control the mouse on the Transformer with my phone. I know using VNC is an option but I would just like to control the mouse so when i hook my Transformer up to my tv I can use my phone as a wireless mouse.
Hey, I was thinking the same thing. But that the phone is just a controller, not a mouse. So it would have the buttons, play, pauze, rew/forw, volume up, volume down, and so on..

there was an app i used about a year or so ago... it basically turned your entire phone screen into a touchpad with left and right click buttons, you just had to be on wifi...
i'll have to dig it up and see if i can remember the name of the app.
that sounds like just what i need!

It's gmote, and it's for phone to desktop, not android to android device. There isn't an app that you want yet since before there was no point in having a remote control app to control another android device since they were all phones.

Alright guess i'll try VNC til someone makes an app for this.
?
how does vnc do this?
i am looking for a way to use my android phone as a keyboard/mouse for my transformer. i have used gmote in the past and that's the idea that i'm looking for, but obviously to control honeycomb tablet not a pc. glad to see i'm not the only one in the market for such an app!
This app actually exists....but only for the Archos line of internet tablets. Check out the Archos Remote app on the Market. Allows you to use any Android 1.6+ device as a media playback remote for the Archos if it's on the same wifi network. As well as the app, a firmware upgrade was required on the Archos itself, and at present the Archos tablets are all running Froyo.
I just tried this yesterday. Just install BlueputDroid and all your problems will be solved. No reason to be on wifi.

tried to use this but the app says my bluetooth stack isnt supported, so it doesnt even try to go.
Unfortunately Blueputdroid won't work cuz my phone is an HTC Desire HD that has Sense. Bluetooth has issues with Sense. I'll continue my search...

You can run a VNC Server on a rooted Android product allowing you to log into it and run it remotely from a phone or computer.
Hey guys, I just bought Splashtop HD for my Transformer, but every 2 min I have the freaking pop up "cannot connect", I've already set my DHCP with Static IP (My router is TP-Link WR941N, I Forwarded TCP Ports 6783-6785 (To my local pc)... But still not working !!
Already added this ports in windows firewall too.
For some reason after this steps my ports 6784 and 6785 still closed (test it in webpage)
Somebody can help me plz .
I have windows 7 64 bits, running Avast Antivirus
Thanks a lot !!
I know it doesn't help but I had exactly the same issue and I like splashtop as it doesn't identify as RDP. Guess we have to stick with normal.
Does anybody happen to know of a Remote Desktop program with hot tracking of mouse other than X2 and Remote Desktop Client? Very useful with dock
When you launch Splashtop, does it auto-detect the streamer app running on your PC?
my question is are you trying it locally or remotely?

1) are you able to connect when you're local?
2) it's possible your host machine is still blocking those ports. try disabling your firewall.

I had some problems with this app recently myself. For some reason I had to change the resolution in the splashtop app to native. Without that it would not connect to my
IMac running lion.

I can get Splashtop HD to run, but I've seen videos of some people using it to run games. When ever I try that, Splashtop HD immediately closes.

This is also happening to me to. I am on Prime 1.6 (3.1) and I would be on my Desktop, and couple of mins later I get disconnect for no reason. I never had an issue when running Prime 1.5. This is happening on both local and outside my network.
Hi peoples. I am in seach of the best remote pc app. I have currently tried:
Phonemypc: Which is currently my favorite remote pc app. Navigation is easy and it has a mouse function where you can slide your finger and see the mouse move. Frame rate isnt that great but it has the function to tap into the PC/Laptops camera and view from your mobile device, you can also tap into the mic and listen.
Splashtop HD: I also tried splashtop hd which is very laggy even on fast wifi. The image is alot more crisp, but its just very dificult to use. They claim 30+ fps but I couldnt get it to work that smoothly.
what is everyone else using to control their pcs?

I've used splashtop with very little lag on good WiFi, and even decently on 3G. What's the upload speed on the wifi you are using your PC in?
PhoneMyPC does the job for my needs.
PhonemyPC on my phone, Teamviewer on my tablet.
Remote VNC
I am recommending Teamviewer.

Of course on market is version for ANDROID.
I personally connect via VPN and then use the "2X" app to RDP to other servers.... With an external mouse, this combination works perfectly - just like you are sitting in front of a windows box. I use this mainly for support (I'm a unix admin by trade). Now, I never even need to open my laptop for after-hours support! By the time my laptop boots, I could have already got in and fixed the issue from my Transformer!
Wyse pocketcloud is absolutely amazing. I've been using it on my phone and tab for a long time now and never wanted to switch. Also free
Best I have used is Splashtop. I've used VNC, RAdmin, RDP, and X forwarding on various platforms and distances over the years and Splashtop has been the least laggy for me. I've been using the client included with my TF.

Spashtop is nice, but the problem is that you need to install a client on the remote PC.... RDP is nice becuase it's automatically available on all windows systems... If you are only connecting to one PC, I guess that's not a big deal, but for professional use, it's just too much of a pain (and security issue) to install a spashtop client on a bunch of PC's....
I use the Xtralogic RDP client. It's an amazing RDP app that does absolutely everything. I've tried dozens of different RDP apps and Xtralogic beats everything I've tried hands-down. It's a steep price on the market, but I found it for next-to-nothing on a third party app site.

Absolutely - I too use SSH for chararacter-based systems... But for Windows, the X2 app (which is free) is an excellent RDP app....
I use VMWare View. It requires you to have two windows server 2008 installations to do so(one as domain controller, and one in the domain).

What are the advantages of VMWare VIew - I've head of it, but don't know much about it - does it only work with VMWare, I'm assuming?
Thanks.
I create an SSH tunnel then connect using Xtralogic.
2x and PocketCloud Remote Desktop using VPN
I´m using 2X or PocketCloud Remote, which are working both flawlessly to connect to my Win 7 Desktop (when FW is disabled, eventhough exception for TCP 3389 is konfigured), using WLAN.
I´d like to use the apps, when i´m home by VPN (like jtrosky) but in this case, traffic from PocketCloud isn´t even arriving at my ethernet port, whereas traffic from 2X does, but the connection doesn´t establish.
Tracing on the Ethernetport on my PC with Wireshark, i see a TCP SYN-packet comming in from my Transformer, followed by a TCP connection reset-packet (RST ACK) from my PC, where there sould be SYN ACK-Packet. So the TCP 3-way-handshake doesn´t work out.
FW and other security stuff is disabled. Access to my NAS is no problem, so VPN should be the root of evil.
Anybody any ideas?
pcap-dumps attached.
THANKS!
For what it's worth, I'm going to change my RDP-app recommendation from 2X to Jump Desktop... I didn't think you could get any better than 2X (it is a great app), but Jump Desktop is even better! I *love* the fact that I can basically RDP to my remote server without even connecting to my VPN at all! It allows you to connect via the internet - as long as you load a "helper" app on the PC(s) that you want to connect to.
Works GREAT - it is now my go to app for remote connectivity!

That means, that you open a port on your router / FW, like using DYNDNS, right?
I like the idea, VPNing home and connecting to my PC from inside my LAN, - just feels more secure.

Actually, that's the nice part - with Jump Desktop, you don't need to worry about any of that stuff - you just log in to your Google account (from inside the PC helper app) and then everything is automatic! No need to mess with port forwarding, DynDNS or anything like that - it's all automatic...
They have a free version - give it a shot - I think you'll like it!
Of course, you can always still connect to your VPN and use Jump Desktop to connect "directly" to your PC if you want to go that route. But, the option to be able to connect without VPN is a nice-to-have in case VPN access is down or something like that....

Hi peeps, have seen plenty of apps allowing remote desktop from androids phone to windows PC. Just curious to know if anyone has info of an app for phone that allows remote access of another android device eg, my transformer. Thanx in advance for any info.

For example droid vnc server in your transformer and some vnc client in your phone?
Yes, the free VNC-Server on the market works well, but the VNC-Client I tried on my TF did not give me any opportunity to do swipe/drag gestures on the remotely controlled device which made it pretty hard to act in android. In addition, the phone I wanted to control ran Android 2.3, so the missing buttons were also a problem which made everything quite unusable. So I would say that you shouldn't expect to much of it.
i just found in development subforum droidmote an droidclient apps. Take a look at that thread
Splashtop works

Cheers guys will take a look and see how I get on. Just out of interest how did you you use splashtop? Only gives info on PC and Mac in the read up.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Splashtop clients are available for mobile and PC/Mac, but the server (streamer) is not available for Android.
I've used the free Android VNC server in the market on my old phone and a VNC client on my work station before....worked but not enough that I'd fancy using it with a Transformer if it can be avoided (most needs I have for that are done via SSH).

SSH? Can you expand on that?. Sorry of it seems a silly question.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
There is an app called "Webkey" for android that basically allows you to remotely interact with your phone from a browser like through RDP or VNC. I think this is approximately what you're looking for. There is also an app called "Airdroid" that is similar in that you can control the phone/tablet from a browser, but its got its own UI rather than using the phones native UI.

Secure SHell (SSH), can be used to get a secure data stream between hosts, usually used for running a shell, file transfering, or forwarding ports.
In essense it gives you a "Command prompt" on another machine.
It can also be combined with the X Windows system, where in you run the program on another machine but it appears on your system. The ability to do that with the transformer however is more convoluted than a typical Linux box (and Windows NT apps are not programmed to support the X Windows System used on unix, linux, and bsd).
File transfers and port forwarding stuff however work pretty typically on the TF.
