I am a Windows user and i use Remote desktop alot. I have Remote desktop client on my Vibrant and connect to my Windows desktop. but i was wondering if there is an app to connect to android desktop remotely. i know you can connect to linux desktop using VNC. So Linux do support remote desktop is that possible on Android?
This looks like it should suit your needs...

That one appears to need root, there is logmein and its ignition for android software (logmein has a free package but the ignition is not free though) or you can try wyse, which works on remote desktop and it isnt free either. Not sure if there are other free ones that does NOT require rooting though.
He wants to remote TO the phone, not from it (the phone as the server, not the client).
As far as I'm aware, any app that does this will need root privileges in order to capture the screen.
Thank you. I tried driod VNC and its really slow. but the good part is the source is available... maybe i will take a look at the it and see if i can do something about it.
Logmein is not free its $30...
Yes. mine is rooted and even unlocked. so i am ready for anything new...
My bad, didn't read the entire post properly
Android Screencast
Android Screencast works pretty well. A bit choppy, but it works. It's in java, so it should work on any OS.

i have tried google and was surprised to not find anything. all i could find was a way to control phone via usb, and a whole lot of ways to control the pc via the phone. both are unacceptable. i need to control the phone from my computer via bluetooth or wifi. i am too poor to afford a wireless speaker system and this will accomplish the same thing (for my needs at least).
is there a known app, or some other way, i can control my phone from the computer wirelessly? the only thing i really need as an option is to be able to control playing music. if there is an app specific for that, awesome. if there are apps that offer more control, even better! but at a minimum, media player control is needed..
thanks for your time.
Just tried this out tonight on my g1 for fun. Pretty much can do anything on the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748914
Its free in the market.
thanks. that is pretty nifty. unfortunately there is that issue with US phone where you can connect directly to it.. makes it pretty slow. the changes happen on my phone pretty quickly (within 1 second usually) after input, but the update on the computer is pretty delayed.
this will do for now. if anyone has an alternative, please let me know!
Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, does exactly that, so you can control phones from a PC, this provides you an external keyboard and mouse, and you can view your device on the PC's screen:

I found an easy way to do remote desktop with the G-Tab to my PC....
Download and install an application called ShowMyPC onto your desktop computer and run it.
Download the ShowMyPC app from the Market and run it.
2 steps and your done....
Works great....
Heres site for more info...

alternatively you can install Team Viewer on your pc and then their app on your tab and you now have full access to your pc remotely. Like this the best. can login and help friends and family on their pc's too and they only need to run a temporary program with nothing to install. Also has a great web interface to access from any computer running mac, win, or linux. Switched from logmein about 6 months ago and never looked back. The app runs fairly well on the tab.

Looks about the same idea. Now we have to good ways of doing it simply.. Thanks...
I just installed the team viewer app today. Wasn't worth it on my droid-X (can't believe i'm saying this but the screen is too small on the X for it) but its one of the make or break features I needed in a tablet. Navigating takes getting used to though.
Yeah it did take a few moments to get use to how to move the mouse around and click or double click on the touch screen but once I got the hang of it it's OK...

Very cool! I've been looking for a way to not pay LogMeIn $30 for their Android App! Thanks!!! Works great!!!
The team viewer is great way better than the application I use at work (tightvnc)
I installed easyvnc on my laptops, then androidvnc from the market onto the gtab, works great! Nothing like watching what the kids are doing on the computers remotely.
Just installed team viewer on two computers and the tablet. I think it works great! Thanks for the info.

Played with that a few months back but couldn't get it to work for me on my Droid-X. Might have to give it another try on the tab. Don't like leaving things not figured out. not sure if it was an issue with the phone or the router or my install. Might give it a shot this weekend.
And another good one is
phonemyPC
DL'd from slideme and it does the job for me.

I’ve tried some of the free options and I personally didn’t like the idea of needing software on my pc. I wanted a Real RDP client the best thing I have found that fit my needs was Pocket Cloud Pro. It’s not cheap it’s like $15 in the market but it is the most robust option by far.
Another option is WYSE PocketCloud. I use it and it seems to work fine as well. Also FREE.

Not all versions of pc operating systems support RDP. Plus I'm cheap .

Gunkle, thanks very much for a great tip! With TeamViewer I can now log into my broker's site that uses a Java app. I hadn't thought remote control would have been possible with a tablet without this thread. Thanks to all for the heads-up discussion.

LogMeIn Ignition
TeamViewer is a great tool but it is crazy expensive (Over $900). Since I need it for work I decided to use LogMeIn Ignition which is less than $40. I don't miss any features TeamViewer may have had as LogMeIn has everything I use. It's great and it's affordable. I highly recommend to folks to buy and PAY for apps rather than use free versions if you can so you can help support the developers and/or companies that will continue to make good apps for our Android OS. I felt $40 was fair and $900 was just plain crazy.

Hey guys,
I'm considering getting a transformer and I'm really interested in the remote desktop feature of the myCloud app that is included. It isn't specified, but I kind of get the impression that you can only access computers on the same network. Is this true? If it is, it kind of makes the feature a little bit useless.. If I'm on the same network, I'm obviously close to the computer so I could just walk over there and use the computer rather than trying to control it through my tablet. If I could use it anywhere though - at university, for example - this could be very useful. Have any of you guys tried this out yet?
It's also too bad that it doesn't work with linux.. but oh well. I can always use ssh for that, I guess. Sometimes having an actual GUI is kind of nice though.
Thanks,
Sam
Do I need to install any software on the remote machine for this to work?
Or it works just like the mstsc.exe program in window?
Thanks.
I haven't used it since I don't have a transformer(yet anyway), but I believe that there is some software you need to install on the pc first. The myCloud app should come pre-installed on the transformer though.
It's Splashtop, which IMO is the best (local?) remote desktop software. It's very fast, like very very fast, and it transmits sound. I use it on my iPhone to listen to driver radios during NASCAR races. If you want something that works no matter where you are, buy LogMeIn.

Because they got a license with Splashtop. Splashtop costs money normally, but they are including it free.
Who knows, or cares why. It's an awesome piece of software.

From the demo video, it is very fast. Unfortunately, I don't think I can use it to connect to my work PC.
What I usually do with my Windows 7 laptop
1. VPN to my company network
2. Remote desktop to my work PC using mstsc.exe
3. Do my work from there.
Is there a way to do this using a Honeycomb tablet without having to install any third party software on my work PC?
Thanks.
No, not with the app ASUS includes. You have to install the splashtop software and you have to be on a local network.

Well there are remote apps in the android market place - I don't know what mstsc is, but some of them work with the standard windows 7 remote desktop protocol, ie you don't need to install anything on the pc

Do you remember the name of that app? I hope it works with Win XP also (we still have XP at work).
I will to wait until I get my hands on the Transformer to try this out.
I use RemoteRDP on my Droid Incredible to connect to Windows via Remote Desktop. (RDP = remote desktop protocol) Also, mstsc.exe is the executable in Windows for remote desktop.
RemoteRDP has a free version that only allows you to connect to one computer. I bought the full version to connect to multiple computers. Setup a little port forwarding on your home router, and you're good to go!
..I'm still hoping the mynet software including the Asus splashtop will have some middle-hosting capability similar to gotomypc or logmein.com so it won't be LAN only... but I have no data to base that on, just a hope and guess!

I'm 98% sure it does not. It's just a renamed version of Splashtop.
Confirmation for you all that the newest update adds Splashtop for free. Other updates/faults I've listed HERE if you are interested.

If it was not included just flash the latest firmware on the Asus site.
I didn't think I'd get so much use out of it, since I usually only remote into my home systems when I'm away from home. However, I've actually found myself using it to watch cable in the bedroom when my wife is watching something else on the actual TV. I start Windows Media Center on my desktop that has a tuner, and am simply amazed at how well it performs. Video is as high-quality as if I was watching it on the desktop.
Also, note that Asus has stated that a version will be coming this summer that supports access from remote networks. I doubt that it will perform as well as it does locally, but if they can get even close to the same performance it will be a great solution.
This is another of those little surprises that have me loving the TF so much. Asus has put a lot of work into making a truly useful machine, in my opinion.

You need to go to asus website and manually download the new firmware for your region. Then you'll get myCloud.

I know that Logmein does not have an app to support Windows RT but I was wondering if any of you great minds can make it work on this machine. I also have a Samsung Ativ 500T with Windows 8 but I want my Surface to be my daily driver. Without Logmein this cannot happen. Not all of my clients allow the port to be open for RDP and we handle a lot of sites.
I can log in with my account but when I attach to a computer (Active X script) it make me type in the words and letters and click the Send button for every action and the screen does not refresh.
Any of you know a work around or how to make this work?
Thanks in advance!
I hope this happens as well.
I've started using Team Viewer Touch on my surface. It seems to work just as well as logmein and as a bonus, it works on a LAN as well.

The problem with Team Viewer is you cannot install it on a Server for free. We handle servers on a daily basis so the Team Viewer option is not feasible unless we want to spend the $3,000 for unlimited installations and we don't just to get Surface RT working.
I know we can wait until Windows Pro, but just seeing if someone has a workaround for now while we wait the 3-4 months for Pro.
I also rely on LogMeIn for my IT business for supporting multiple clients.
My workaround is to RDP into my Win8 desktop at home, then LMI from there. This works great for me, even while WiFi tethered through my LTE phone.
How far are you guys getting with logmein on the RT? I can actually get into my remote machines if I hit the 'click here if you don't see the active x bar'. I lose certain features like switching monitors on dual monitor machines though. I also have logmein central which may be why I have that option?

Logmein.com is unusable on WinRT.
Not completely unusable. I can log on and do most things. Just can't switch monitors and things like that.

I have tested multiple times and it does this awful refresh all the time that makes the screen go white...making it virtually unusable.

I would do that but I am running an iMac at home. I have Windows dual booted on it but I would have to remember to change it to that OS everyday when I left and stuff.
Too much of a pain.
We called Team Viewer and they have a $1,500 option but that is still too much to pay for something that should be so simple to use on the Windows RT device.
If we don't get it running we will just get Samsung Ativ Smart PC 500T's to use. I know they work. I just love the form factor of the Surface.
In think that we will see a version of logmein very soon taking in consideration that they already release join.me

Yeah I hope so. We really love Logmein otherwise I wouldn't even be asking.
I ended up installing Windows 8 Pro on my bootcamp partition on my iMac and allowing remote desktop. I will just use it this way until Microsoft release the Pro version of the Surface.
The Surface Pro will be the sweetest technical device in a long time.
Sort of related but I have been using my Windows Home Server and it worked great for remote control of my home pc.
All free past the hardware and software purchase. Likely some old ones out there for sale.

If you follow the direction in another thread to add logmein.com to the Flash whitelist, logmein works perfectly in the browser.

Tried it and it didn't work. It still has to refresh the page everytime to do anything.
Maybe I did it wrong. Can anyone confirm that it will work correctly just like the desktop would.

Did anyone get Logmein working with the Flash fix?
Just give it up. ?
LMI will not work properly on RT until we get a native app.
