Anyone using Citrix Receiver on their TF300 to connect to their work computers? Wondering how well it works (is there left mouse button support yet?)

i've used teamview and that works just fine. i also utilized splashtop at home with windows 7 and that worked well aswell. however, splashtop at work did not work...but that could be because we have some firewall issues? or perhaps it is because we run windows xp?

I've got to use Citrix. Our environment is tightly controlled and security is paramount. Citrix works fine on my HTC Flyer, but I'd like to get some feedback from the TF300 owners, since I'm seriously considering picking one up.
OK, so yesterday I got my TF300. Installed Citrix Receiver on this thing and everything is working peachy king. The only issue is that the right mouse button seems to be mapped to an "exit" function, as whenever I click it I get a "Do you really want to leave Citrix?" popup. Hopefully that can be fixed because having a functional right mouse button would be nice, as I need to run programs with alternate credentials from time to time. As it stands my workaround is to launch a command window and use the "runas" command. Works, but kinda clunky.
Still, it's fantastic that I can get my work done on the Transformer when I'm away from the office, and really makes this device a suitable laptop replacement for me.
I use the default thing included in Asus Mycloud. It's actually just Splashtop, just with Asus' branding. Works great so far, but haven't tried connecting from outside my NAT yet.
I'll check out a Citrix client when I'm able.

Check your asus settings to see what your right mouse button is set to.

Changed the setting to "context menu" but that still diesn't work.
However, I'd forgotten that in Citrix, a long button press acts as the left mouse button in windows. So that works. And even better, the long-press + shift key works with the transformer, meaning that I can run programs under alternate credentials, no problem.
First time poster here so bear with me.
I received my TF300 2 weeks ago and am very happy with it.
Not rooted yet or anything but I may be doing that later on.
For our company we use Citrix as well and I wanted to use the Citrix Receiver but I'm not able to connect.
I'm almost 100% sure it has something to do with the tcp window scaling as my Linux laptop also has problems opening the Citrix Access Gateway site (very slow) and by disabling the scaling it works perfectly.
The same happens with Vista en 7 PC's, tcp autotuning disabled and it works without problems.
I was looking for an option on the tablet but it's probably somewhere in the build.prop or something (I'm only familair with these build.prop things for 2 days, but am experienced with Linux so I can find my way around these things).
Does someone has this issue as well and do I have to root the tablet just to adjust the the tcp scaling?
Anyway, looking forward browsing this forum.
Wish I could help you, but that would be our Remote Access team's area of expertise. Maybe you could speak to whoever at your place of business is responsible for that? I do know that our team tests the gateway with Android and iOS in addition to Windows, and they've got instructions for Adroid and iOS users to connect.
How are you all connecting to the internet for your citrix uses, wifi or 3g/4g?
I have a transformer prime that is so close to being ideal for work, except that tethering to my sprint epic 4g touch just doesn't cut it for citrix. It will work fine for a while, then sort of fall apart when it complains of a "temporarily slow" internet connection. 99% sure this is a sprint issue, with a dash of samsung radio issues thrown in.
Considering a mobile hotspot, but also considering the fact that this idea just isn't ready for prime time yet.
i use wyse pocket cloud to connect over remote desktop gateway. works great.

I've used Citrix while tethered to my HTC Evo 4G no problem. But I had a reasonably strong WiMAX signal. I don't think I'd even bother trying over Sprint's 3G. I'm just not that masochistic.
citrix receiver
Not sure why you would ask how it works rather then try it.
But I can tell you it works very well. Our environment is still on xenapp 5 and I dont have it configured through a cag, but still use the web interface. I published RDP for our users so they can remote into their desktops or another terminal server and they use it. Anyway, if anyone doesn't know their corporate config and have trouble getting it to work, try changing it over to web interface rather then access gateway.

Dont bother?? haha To each their own I guess. Citrix is great over low bandwidth because you only send screen scrapes to the device vs something like vpn where you tunnel everything. I tether my tf300 through my verizon 3g with moderate signal. No issues this way. Good luck though.

Is there a program or way i can use remote desktop without having a router connect to my laptop. So using the built in wifi on the laptop to connect to my HD2.
Or even bluetooth..
Just an idea as I can't have a router here at uni.
are you trying to basically surf the web from your laptop using your HD2?
you need something like internet sharing which is available on the Device itself (its a standard Windows thing). you need to set it up though, and of course make sure your device has internet access (GPRS/whatever connection methods).
Nah not using the internet, but to view and control my pc from my phone over wifi.
gotcha. why would you wanna do that?
but anyway...dont think it is possible like that as the wireless on the laptop will not act as a DHCP (like a router does) to give an IP to clients who are connecting to it.
It would be cool though to be able to use it as a remote control to perhaps skip or play music etc. But connecting through wifi would be impossible i think.
I recall with my old old old sony ericsson phone I could connect to my computer using a bluetooth dongle and control music and even the mouse cursor...such an awesome feature. A bluetooth program for the HD2 would be good providing you have a bluetooth dongle.
funny you should mention an app like that as I developed an app a few years ago which does just that called WMP Remote.
basically, you connect it via bluetooth or wireless (as long as you get an activesync connection going, or even wireless with a router) and then get a list of files from a certain directly, play/pause/vol up/down from the Mobile application and play files in full screen and so on....
haven't updated it in a LONG time but was a big hit back then.
also developed another app called DAR~ling, which is a Digital Audio Recorder

It looks an awesome App, but does not work with WM6.5 & Windows 7 (not sure which one cause the issue).
IMHO worth some re-development and putting on Windows Market Place $$$ I'd buy.
Ben
aww, thats encouraging mate! Thanks!
not sure why it doesnt run on your devices? I ran it on my Samsung omnia which runs WM 6.1 - works fine.
I've also got a WM5 device...works fine on that. the issues are just the screen display!
I have been meaning to "start" the project again but just had no time at all. been so busy.
HELLO
T2 REMOTE TOUCH
Very nice program. I use it to do anything to my computer because I'm too lazy to get down of the bed. I use it when it was beta and the only bad thing was that he only had color mode for free
Anyway if you can manage to create a wireless network connection (AD-HOC) with designeted IP's it's going to work. I don't know about the port dough.
Anyway, I have windows XP, and I don't know very much about win7's configuration.
GOOD LUCK
I need help. I was talking to a guy that claimed to be a developer of Splashtop, which allows you to run your laptop remotely from your tablet. The app was initially created for iphone/ipad, but is available in the Android market. I was so impressed with the app and how fast and seamless it runs your laptop programs that I purchased without question. Well I have a question: how do you connect to it remotely while away from home? I have turned on laptop, turned off auto shut down, and turned on splashtop on the pc. Everytime I have tried to connect away from home I get an "out of reach" message. I have been as little as 5 miles away. If anyone out there has knowledge of what I may be doing wrong please let me know. The guy told me this should work from anywhere just as long as my computer is turned on and running splashtop.
Thanks!!
I use it on my xoom, and it works great, but I haven't tried using it away from home. Hmm, thanks for the heads up, I want to find out too.

Yes, great at home, but I can just use my laptop. If I can get it to actually work when I am away from home, then it makes my Xoom THE BEST thing to have! I get so tired of carrying my laptop around, this would help.

Yeah i got the splashtop and to make it work outside your home network, you must do port forwarding.
i uninstalled it because now, i keep getting drop connections and if i reconnect, it gives me error saying it is already being accessed by another device. this was both on my home network and accessing it from the outside. it was great but not anymore.
sorry for the rant.
Hmm
For the price it's probably not as good as some of it's competitors, which are closer to 5x the price of this. I would attribute it's lack of quality to the problems such as devices being already connected etc.
As for distance, it makes no difference, the most important thing to do is make sure that if you have a router, it must have the necessary ports forwarded to the computer you want to connect to.
Personally I try to avoid remote desktop and instead try make everything i might want from home accessible via web-apps or various servers.

I don't have the app so I'm just giving some general comments:
Im assuming it works over wifi?
1) Maybe you need to enter the ip address of your home and name a port? then get the router to port forward to your laptop?
2) If it works over wifi, then if your router has the option set up a VPN. then connect to it when ur away from home - then its exactly as if ur xoom is connected to the local network itself

Port forwarding is a new concept to me, so not sure how to do it, but you guys have given me a new thing to Google. Also, I did have my internet run through a router, but I disconnected it because I on have my home internet through ATT Uverse and didn't have anything that really needed to run through it. If you have some quick directions for me, then I will be grateful!
Teamviewer
Teamviewer does it away from home. Theres no sound and fluid video tho
I assume this is similar to Wyse Pocket, and i have never had issues connecting via 3G. Is this a better app?

well your router gets its internet then shares it via with the rest of your computers.
Port forwarding takes all the data from a specific port and forwards it to a specific device.
to start you have to assign ur computer a static ip address (again through your router) then forward all data to it. sorry i cant be more precise but the procedure varies between routers. I have never used the ATT Uverse. Honestly the best thing to do is have a browse thorugh ur manual or google for a guide
try this site to see if your model is listed. if not choose a similar model and try to do similar steps

These apps were made with very different goals in mind...
I use both of these apps for what I believe they were designed for and I'm happy with both. The WYSE PocketCloud app supports RDP / VNC connections but SplashTop doesn't. It's not even really designed for WAN access but rather just LAN access. Yes, unlike PocketCloud you'll need to use port forwarding to use it in the likely unsupported WAN configuration.
SplashTop runs beautifully on my LAN but I don't expect it to work outside those parameters. I think SplashTop has far superior frame rate / audio sync for watching Videos (with / without audio). Is it the optimized support for the Tegra 2? I don't know, but it works and works well. It lets me watch Hulu, NetFlix, etc with rarely a hiccup. PocketCloud can't touch that ATM.
Even though PocketCloud's framerate and audio sync are MUCH worse by comparison to SplashTop making it unusable (even when on my LAN connected by WiFi) for the purpose of watching video through it, I don't begrudge it since I don't believe that's what it's for. It has an awesome UI (I prefer it somewhat over SplashTop's) and works very well over RDP. When the Terminal Services update emerges from closed beta, it will be even more awesome.
These apps probably shouldn't even be compared as they are meant to do different things, different ways. Each works for what they were designed for. Neither is perfect. In my case, both were very easy to setup. Any difficulties I had were caused by my own firewall setup. Neither were expensive IMO.
Has anyone figured out how to connect using mycloud when you are away from home? I've tried port forwarding and the portchecker from portforward.com verifies that my ports are open and are forwarded properly but I still can't seem to connect using my modem's WAN ip.
My modem/router model is smc d3gn and I am connecting directly to it with my computer.
I've also tried using the modem's built in vpn function and I can connect to the vpn (accessing the router setup page from my tablet shows me logged in with a pptp ip so I know that I'm connected but splashtop still refuses to connect.)
Hope someone can figure this out soon... I've tried the experimental locator thing using my gmail account but I'm not sure if it does anything.
Hi everyone,
I'm having issues with ad-hoc wifi connections on my transformer. Unlike most other people, I'm not trying to tether to a phone, I'm trying to connect with a computer so I can achieve a lower latency when I'm using some android pro audio control apps.
The problem is that the transformer sees the ad-hoc network, but cannot connect it (can't get an IP). I tried all different forms of security, including no security. Nothing works.
I'm running stock 8.6.5.21, rooted. No custom kernels or custom ROMs. It's a B60 pad, so it was rooted via nvflash.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
You need to either configure a DHCP server on your computer so that your TF101 is allocated an IP, or you need to configure a static IP on your TF101 so that it can talk to the computer.

Thanks for the answer, but doesn't that get done automatically by Windows 7? If not, that seems kind of stupid...
I can confirm that it is not a windows 7 issue. My ipod touch connects to my computer-based ad-hoc network just fine, without any IP configuration or extra software. My pad still refuses to. Help?
Thanks!
I had the same issues at the beginning. I switched kernels and roms but none of them worked out of the box with ad-hoc network on win7. But windows 7 gives you the possibility (except starter edition) to set up a virtual router which works perfectly for me (I don't know if it is a sign of small latency that I was able to use splashtop with less than 1 second offset...). Just google the term "virtual router" and you will find a pretty nice open source tool. An alternative would be connectify, but this always made my laptop fan scream after a while.
Thanks, I'll check it out and report back.
Hi.
I travel a lot from home to work and back (over 2h in one direction each day) and I want to be online all the time. There is no problem with my Galaxy S II because when I'm not in range of known wifi network phone automaticaly switches to 3G or GSM.
With my TF300T there is a small problem: when TF300T detects known wifi network it is connecting automatically (correct) but when I'm out of range of wifi I would like to automatically switch to internet via bluetooth connection (from paired Galaxy S II). At this moment I must to remeber each time to go into Settings->Bluetooth and click on device (phone) to reconect.
Is there any setting or app with will do this automatically each time wifi connection is lost?
Thx.
You might be able to do this with an app like tasker or llama. I haven't tried it myself though.
Thx for your reply.
Tasker is too expensive for that simple issue (I really don't need more from Tasker) but llama looks promising. I will test it.
Anyway I will be still looking for something simpler to do this. Any ideas?

I am on stock ICS and in order to use an app called TouchOSC on my atrix 2 to control a DJ'ing software on my macbook pro i need to wirelessly tether my phone to my mac. So for this I created an Ad hoc network on my macbook and tried connecting my phone to it. i couldnt get that to work since my phone refuses to connect to the ad hoc network everytime. however i am able to set everything up perfectly when i am using a router to connect both my Macbook and the phone. But i cant carry the router everywhere so i need an On the go solution so for that its important to get the adhoc connection working.
any solutions?
PS: i have heard i can get it to work after rooting, but the success rate is really low. what can I do?
Anyone?
I will be honest, I have several macs at home, and I have never been able to get the a2 to work with ad hock wifi, but blue tooth ad hock networking seems to work ok for me. I can both share the internet connection on my macbooks, and I can even ssh to and from the macbook pros to the phone and back.
Not sure about the apps you are using, nor what they use exactly, but if it is just IP or http or similar the blue tooth connection should work.

I believe ICS blocked ad hoc connections, I read somewhere u can modify WPA supplicant, but I didn't look into it too far...

Yeah it does... I have used both linux and mac os, but have not tried windows. Bluetooth tethering as I mentioned works well, and I did not have to change anything to make it work. Now technically you are correct that wifi tether does not work well with ICS, but, as I mentioned I have been using bluetooth without issues, and since most macs have bluetooth out of the box, it was one of those things to try out. My linux home box also has a bluetooth receiver on the MB, and I have tested it there as well. It was sort of trial and error to get it all setup right, and I do not remember what exactly I did, but I have been using it without issue for months now.
P.S. I am still on leak one, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I have found several things that do not work on the OTA still seem to work with leak 1, and why I have not updated to the OTA, and I never will.
