Remote Desktop made easy on G-Tab

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

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.

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.

[Q] mycloud remote desktop

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.

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.

Splashtop HD pure awesomeness

[Q] Splashtop remote login problem
Can anyone suggest a way to get around this problem please?
I would like to use splashtop to start up and shut down my pc remotely. I use a login password (windows default one) on the machine in question. The problem is that when I wake the pc remotely using 'WOL Wake on Lan' app, I can't type in the password on the remote machine, as the splashtop software doesnt allow access that early in the boot sequence.
I don't want to have to disable this password login, so can anyone think of a way to get around this? Maybe there is a way to use Tasker to send a remote password command? Is there another remote desktop client that would allow me to see the login screen?
I've tried 'Remote Desktop Client' app, which allows me to access the machine (its not nearly as good as splashtop at streaming video), but it bypasses the login screen, and when I try to switch to splashtop, all it shows is a black screen when connected.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Splashtop non-free, 0.99 today
seems to be a patterns with me. i buy an app at full price, then a few days later, it becomes heavily discounted, or (via amazon) free.
anyway, the afaik, the spalshtop that comes with the TF is the free version, with the 5 minute limit.
the non-free one is current at $0.99 in the market. the description says "on sale for 1.99" but the price is actually 0.99. maybe it's an oversight

Second this question. I think this only happens if you back out of splashtop with the back soft-key, if you just press home or something you don't get it, usually, I think...

How can I install again if uninstalled the AT version the first time? I can't find again...

I don't need a signature.

To those who actually bought Splashtop, go to your devices menu (on the Transformer), then go to edit, and see what the highest resolution you can set it to.
The built in Asus Splashtop can support up to 1280x800 resolution (of your pc).
I know someone with a Xoom who bought Splashtop and his doesn't get an option of 1280x800, only 1024x768.... LOL

Yeah, I actually bought the market version to compare it against the mycloud one, but I refunded it due to the resolution capping at 1024x768 even though it was a newer version number than what we got with the Transformer.

I know this is a little off topic but does the Asus version of splashtop support mac 10.6?

Just bought splashtop hd and configured access to my desktop from outside. Its almost like sitting in front of the pc. And the cool thing is the keyboard dock totally works. I was also able to watch a hd movie from netflix. But since my desktop is connected to a hdmi receiver, I have to have the receiver on the correct channel all the time for audio to come through

i agree, splashtop HD is awesome, i connected it to my htpc and i can use xbmc to watch anything i want from it.

I want to buy it as well but I understand it only works if your TF is connected to the same WiFi network as your PC is... if that's the case, it means you need to be close to your PC...
This would be perfect if you can connect to your PC from anywhere!

You can - you just need to do some work with port forwarding on your router.
In addition, Splashtop are testing an auto-discovery system (much like PocketCloud) which will make this much easier in future, but unfortunately only the iOS clients support it at present.

Dave

www.portforward.com Follow the guide for setting up static ip for your specific router model and then follow any of the portforwarding guide for any software and swap the port numbers used to 6783,6784 and 6785 (splashtop default ports)
Some newer routers have this setting called Static DHCP/Static Address, this is the same as setting static ip, but instead of your computer forcing your internal IP to be the same, the router does it for you based on your MAC address (binded to your NIC/Network Interface Chip)

From what I read, Asus is going to provide us Splashtop HD for free on their next firmware update. FYI.
I bought it anyways

Asus France tell me the exactly oposite when I asked them "There is no update of my desktop planned for the moment"

an official poster said in splashtop forum there will be a free update for the asus transformer..
anyway, what's the difference between splashtop HD in the android market and the splashtop that comes with My Cloud?... the my cloud version works perfectly fine and supports native resolution of 1280*800 too..

I have been using PocketCloud Pro. Similar to SplashTop. I do not recall the cost of it, however it has been working well for me. Prior to getting the SGN10.1 Wifi, I was using my Droid Razr Maxx in conjunction with the Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro. It has worked great there, as well. I take that with me when I do field audit work because it gives me a larger screen.
I would avoid using things such as LogMeIn (Ignition on the device side). Although I have it, I find it to be lousy with respect to screen resolution. Both SplashTop and PocketCloud seem to provide a more realistic terminal mode reproduction of the screen.
I just recently loaded SplashTop and haven't used it that much yet. The issue that I have with PocketCloud is that I do not believe there is a way to have access to more than one monitor. Ironically, that is not an issue with LogMeIn.
I hope this helps.

I've used both Logmein and VNC. I've found that more often as not, I go to VNC (free version).

i use TeamViewer for Remote Control, free on the app store.

I use Pocket Cloud when I am away from home and SplashTop when at home. I like SplashTop HD better but I already paid for Pocket Cloud ages ago. Pocket Cloud is a pay once and you're good to go. Last time I looked at SplashTop it was a subscription and I don't want a subscription service. Its free when your on your own network and I believe is easier to use.

I have both vnc and splashtop. I personally like the feel of the mouse control of vnc vs splashtop. Splashtop has two modes of mouse control, one of them like that of vnc but not as good. Vnc has a better look and feel, atleast for me.

I have installed VNC to give it a try. Had to configure the firewall and router to accept the port and now I am past that step.
I have two questions so far. The first has to do with my laptop/server. I have the laptop running with an extra monitor. When I connect to the computer through SGN10.1, it is showing me both monitors, side by side, and quite small. How to I adjust that so that only one shows up at a time, but allows me to go back and forth.
Duh, just occurred to me that I can probably use the pinch/zoom process.
Second q. Is there any way to get a better address to the router when working remotely?
Of course, once I figure this out, I will also now have to give the Jump a try!
Thanks

I use Splashtop Whiteboard. It's the same thing but with some annotation features added to it. Pretty slick to remote control a PC for a presentation. You can still use the old apps with the new desktop server software, there is just some additional configuration needed. This allows you to still use the model where you pay once for the app instead of ongoing subscription fees.
Regarding getting your router address working. There are a few companies that can update your dynamic IP address to a hostname. DynDNS used to do it for free. I think another one is no-ip.com that still has a free service.

Curious, what do you mean by "SPen support." I think every app allows the SPen to work like you are touching the screen (at least Splashtop Whiteboard does) but does this mean it has full support for the Spen as in touch sensitivity too?

I have a problem about pocketcloud with s-pen.
On remote desktop with pocketcloud When I approach s-pen to the screen a letter of "b" is typed. As much as I approach and pull back it types a new one.
(if word is open in word, if explorer is open in explorer. Which program is open.)
Anyone having the same issue?

Is there a 'true' remote control app (not media control)?

I use XMouse - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stripe1.xmouse - for remote control of my laptop from my phone. Linux-only, but windows versions of similar programs exist, of course.
I haven't found anything similar for smartwatches. In principle it'd only be useful as a mousepad, and a small one at that, but I think it'd be cool. Has anyone found anything similar?

Well I think we people are trying to do so much with these smartwatches that are not intented for. I can not see any use for what you are describing especially practicality of it. First of all, any app that you use on the watch is actually running on the phone. So if you want to remotely control your PC, just use the phone itself. Using your watch for that purpose will be extremely slow and would be much of an hassle rather than convenient. The touchscreen on the watch is nowhere close to the sensitivity of the touchsreen of any modern day smartphone. That is another issue. If you are really keen on using it as a mousepad only, without seeing anything on the watch, maybe than it maybe faster but than again it has to first communicate with the phone than the phone will communicate with the PC so again there will be hell of a lag...
But my answer to your question is I don't know any app that can do that at the moment.

It depends on what you wanna do
Well, that might answer your question. As far as I know, no "mouse" exists on watch but that doesn't mean you can't control your PC with your watch.
You might use Unified Remote, tasker and it's smartwatch's version. Unified remote is an app that enables you to control your PC wirelessly from your phone (for example, you can play or pause windows media center, launch any program...), very useful and customizable with paid version. Then, tasker is a really really useful app (maybe a bit hard to understand at first) with which you'll be able to activate only few options of your apps. Tasker live extension shows these options on the watch. I've never tried myself but give it a try and let us know.
I don't know if it's clear enough but, for example, I use sonos system (those are speakers connected to wifi that you control with a special app on your phone), using tasker and tasker extension, I can control sonos (play, pause, skip, volume,...) using my watch.
Of course, as the guy above me said, this will never as easy and fast as on your phone. However there are apps that are intended for controlling your PC.
PS : excuse me for my not-that-good-english.

I'm well aware of unified remote and tasker, I've bought tasker since years ago.
The problem is that there's no real way to translate mousepad-type movements to instructions. I have an idea using multiple hotzones in a UCCW widget so that the further away the touch is from the center of the screen, the further the mouse moves. Like a touch nib, the lenovo type.
In answer to the usefulness, why not use it to remote control the phone, not the pc? Android devices can be fairly big nowadays. Mine is 7.7 inches, if I had a 10 inch tab I can see wanting to put it up on the table, lean back, and remote control it.

So Mr. ngoonee YOU KEEP on searching and as soon as I find this coveted app I will let you know. Cheers

I'm on a quest to find an app that can REMOTE CONTROL my phone like a mouse or track pad...and as soon as I find it or build it...I will let everyone know about it.

I guess I am one of those dream killers you mention. First of all, I am not trying to discourage anyone trying to do anything.
You can for sure use smartwatch as a presentation controller with buttons like the Logitech ones. It will work. But for practicality, I simply don't see sw2 being used as a mousepad. It is just my opinion and you don't have to agree with me.
So good luck with your search/app development.

I use XMouse - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stripe1.xmouse - for remote control of my laptop from my phone. Linux-only, but windows versions of similar programs exist, of course.
I haven't found anything similar for smartwatches. In principle it'd only be useful as a mousepad, and a small one at that, but I think it'd be cool. Has anyone found anything similar?

If you don't understand it it's not meant for you, only works with an X server meaning for Linux computers (possibly can be used for X apps in a mac)

I wanted to use it on Linux mint 17 but I'm new to Linux so guess I should give it a miss for now

Well, basically....
1) SSH on the laptop
2) Profit
If you don't understand that then don't bother.

Lol
