[Q] Splash Remote Desktop help

Ive installed the manual ASUS update and this has now given me the MyCloud stuff.
I have 2 PCs i want to be able to access. I have downloaded the client App from www.splashtopremote.com and installed it.
One PC is now found but it shows on a horrible resolution and i can only see about a quarter of the screen. The other desktop it cant even find ???
Should I have installed specific ASUS client software ? i couldnt find any ....
oh... for info the one it cant find is Win 7 64 bit if that makes a difference ?

If both pc's are on the same network open up the Splashtop remote streamer on your pc and check under Network and make sure they are set to different port numbers from eachother.
There is a resolution setting in the Splashtop client. By default I beliefve it was 1024x768 you can change it to 1280x800. Also at default it's slightly zoomed out so that's why it looks blurry.

I'm pretty sure that's just how it works and while seeing my 1920x1200 monitor shrink down to 1200x800 made me a little sad, it's really supposed to be about what's on the transformer screen, not your monitor.

You shouldn't need different port numbers on physically different machines.

If he plans to setup port forwarding later for wan access it's easier since not all routers support port translation. But you're right he should be able to manually add the second machine even with the same port.

i tried changing the ports on one.
i tried manually setting up the connection in the setup.
still saying 'could not reach'
....and the resolution is awful. not even close. showing the top left quarter of the expected screen only. i cant find anywhere to change the resolution ???
where should i have got the desktop client from ?

.....plus my 'touch' is way off .... eg in drop downs i have to press about 5 items higher than the one i need.
Ive done something very wrong obviously

Am on a mac, it works but only lets me use the 1024x768 setting and not the native 1280x800
any ideas?

i cant even find anywhere to change the resolution as im accessing it through the ASUS mycloud app
scratch that ... found the settings behing the keyboard

In MyCloud settings hit the pencil to the right of your computer and change the setting to 1200x800. Then connect and your monitor should switch to 1200x800 which is meh looking, but the way it looks on your transformer is all that really mattered to the developers of Splashtop IMO. Kinda makes sense

OK so i now have more of my desktop showing but i still cant see the windows bar (at the bottom) and my finger press i a long way away from where i want to press.

Not related to splashtop but are you able to use computer one and use remote desktop to connect to computer two?

Make sure the other machine's firewall isn't blocking Splashtop from being seen on the network. That's quite likely to be your issue.

Please help
Just got my Transformer but can't find MyCloud and there is no update ...
so i went to the asus support website and try to install the update manually....
but nothing comes out and still don't know what to do......
i guess i installed the wrong update?? did you install it from their support website? i don't really know how to do that actually
if you could help me that would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Anybody know if there's a way to update the bundled apps? For example, Splashtop Remote is quite a long way out of date -- the included version from Asus is v1.0.0.5 r5324, but v1.1.5.2 came out on April 12th, 11 days before the build date of the latest Transformer release, and there was another release in between, so the version we've got is around two months out of date.
Of course, since we didn't install ourselves through Market, there's no way to update there. I can't find a way to update in the app itself. I've not checked the other bundled apps, but it seems likely they're not all on the current versions either.
To me, this is a big issue (and an argument against bundling software in the first place, unless we can upgrade ourselves). For example the latest Splashtop release is said to fix bugs, and the 1.1.4.1 release in between times had an even longer list of changes (although some seem to be in our 1.0.0.5 build, curiously.)
Edit: I've gone ahead and asked the question of Splashtop directly, too.

Knox,
We probably are only licensed for whatever version Asus gives us. Plus the market version doesnt' let you go above 1024x768 where the one on the Transformer does 1280x800

I'm hoping that's not the answer, because if it is, it's a strong argument against pre-installing third party apps in the first place. I don't want buggy software on my tablet, and have concerns about potential security risks in not being able to control software myself, as well. If this *is* the answer, it'd be nice if Asus would consider releasing another version of the rom image with all the third-party stuff removed, and let users switch back and forth between the two rom types as they want.
Interesting catch that the Asus version supports resolutions that the retail one doesn't. I see a bunch of people asking for that in Splashtop's forums, wonder why on earth they haven't publicly released it if it was possible in software as long ago as 1.0.0.5? (And it's also possible in iOS versions).

You know you can install splashtop remote and it doesn't interfere with the pre installed one.

Hadn't tried it, as I was scared I'd pay for it and then find out it conflicted. It was going to be my next question if they said there's no way to update. ;-)

[Q] anyone noticed touchscreen sometimes doesn't work in browser?

this happens mostly in pop up selections. in other words, most travel sites have calendar for date selection and it only pops up when you click on the calendar. But when you try to touch on a date, the trans won't recognize the calendar but rather what's behind it.. so intead of giving me the date, it'll give me whatever is behind it. Sometimes, I almost think browsing on the trans is worthless!! and browsing is the main reason i bought a tablet.
ASUS, are you guys reading all these problems on this board, fix it!!!

Browser works beautifully for me. Supply a link on what your talking about instead of ranting. ASUS has a good track record of squashing a ton of bugs with out people begging for fixes. Also it could be honeycomb itself u never know

Not 100% sure, but I believe this is an android 3.0-3.1 problem, not an ASUS problem

try for yourself on virginamerica.com
I tried to look up flights but it wouldn't let me select dates. don't enter the date manually, tap on a date and see if it works.
btw, the booking site is down, but you can still select dates. you just can't get pricing...

i hope so, right now, i have more faith in google than ASUS.

i started seeing this issue particularly in web forms after the software update

This is obviously a honeycomb browser issue, same with the xoom. Asus people has been working hard and fixed most problem in this thread, give them some credit.

BUG: Skype front cam sideways & mirrored

Hi all,
When I place a video call to my friend using the front facing camera, my friend sees my video as sideways and mirrored. I see my local preview as sideways and NOT mirrored. This problem exists no matter how I rotate the phone.
I should see my local preview as mirrored (like desktop version) and my friend should see it as NOT mirrored. Both of us, of course, should not see the video as sideways.
I'm surprised that nobody is talking about this issue. I don't know when the bug crept in, because I don't use Skype on the phone that often due to what seems like higher battery drain when Skype is running. I did some reading online about the issue, and it looks like the HTC EVO 4G suffers from the same problem, which means a LOT of people can't properly Skype again!
I did try messing with the enable/disable rotation setting in both the Skype app as well as in Android settings. I also tried rolling back to a previous build that worked properly, but as some have mentioned, rolling back to a known good build (that supported front cam) doesn't fix the problem.
I don't really think there is an easy fix for this, but I thought maybe if we discuss it here a bit, well..... ya never know.

You need to roll back to a old version of Skype. The new one is crap.

I had a similar issue with google+ video chat. My video used to come sideways to others. This was happening in GB.

I found that version 2.1.0.46 allows use of the front facing camera and seems to orient the image properly, however there is a special Version 11 build out there that I found, and I don't know who to give credit for it, that adds an extra settings menu called Advanced Settings, which gives ALL SORTS OF AWESOME CONTROL over image orientation and resolution, among many other things.
The filename I found is Skype_2.1.0.46_v11.apk, and I found it at one of those websites that is 4 sharing files (hint). Again, I don't know who to give credit to for this build, but the advanced menu is SUPERB, and I hope to see more builds like this one!!!

No Doubt!! Settings don't get much more advanced than that!!

New version of skype came out today, and it's worse than before.
Landscape mode only now (no setting for auto-rotation). New bugs with front-facing cam: both local and remote view is mirrored, local preview is upright but stretched, remote view is sideways.
Skype makes a couple minor improvements while breaking the most important functions. Sheesh! Do they test this stuff before release?

Yeah, I dont think they test any of their crap. I dont understand why we are not on the supported list. We were on of the first ffc phones out.

No Movie Studio Vid Editor on my GT6210 (US version)??

Hello,
Has anyone found a good alternative to Movie Studio? I've been using it on my Iconia A500 (10in. screen) and find it worth having. So other than the smaller screen, is there an oficial reason why we 7.0Plus owners didn't get this "standard" app.... or did everyone but me get it?
I've just downloaded a couple .apk's posted here to try to side load the app, but I guess I'm wondering if my GT6210 should have come with it in the first place.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Don't worry I'm on the same boat as you...have original tab my 7.0 Plus is on the way as we speak. Movie Studio is a huge improvement that I loved in the other Honeycomb tabs. I'll be sure to update you on if mine came with it. In the meantime, were you able to install a Movie Studio apk you've gotten your hands on?

Yes , I was able to install the "deodex" version from this thread http:// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990465&page=2 - look for the file in post #12. But it didn't quite work for me. The UI doesn't adjust for the smaller screen (though the lower screen resolution is most likely the issue), so the video playback window blocks the top timeline and half of each control on either side. This made it basically unusable for me- the only good news is the app is otherwise working --clips imported, drag and scrubbing worked, imported clips played in that oversized preview window- without crashing. So if the UI could be tuned with a little hack-fu......
Anyway, hope this helps ya in some way. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thanks!

I just installed this app -AndroMedia https://market.android.com/details?id=com.techcatmobile.andromedia&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50ZWNoY2F0bW9iaWxlLmFuZHJvbWVkaWEiXQ.. and so far I like what I see! It's free and looks like it can do the job. I've only done a quick test, but this may even be better than Movie Studio - though it has a small add at the bottom of the screen and the UI lacks Movie Studios modern look, but in some ways this one is more intuitive.
Worth checking out for sure!

Well I'm not sure if you want to install another app to do this, but there are multiple apps which allow you to "adjust" the resolution of your screen which should allow you to view the complete app. I know I saw a nice looking app for this purpose but unfortunately cannot remember it off the top of my head....I've also tried AndroMedia on my original tab which I have until my new tab comes tomorrow but it just FCs but am happy to try it again with the new dual-core! Hopefully we can get this figured out...just one of those apps I reallllly want!!

There are apps that will adjust my screen rez? I'm guessing they must simulate the different resolution, or are they tweaks/hacks? I've heard of the tweaks that change the dpi or pixel density, but none that change screen rez. I'd be most appreciative if you can recommend any reliable ones.
AndroMedia works fine on my GTab 7.0+- no FC's ... yet. Maybe by the time we get this video editor app figured out, Samsung will release a version that works with the smaller tabs, lol. I'm amazed at the lack of any real alternatives to Movie Studio.... isn't anyone using Android devices to shoot video? Or are they not doing anything more complex than 1 take shots...? Not to rub anyones nose in it, but check out what Avid just released for the iPad- http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/avid-studio/id491113378?mt=8 better than iMovie and will export working projects to Avid express! I just started working with it (I need to use iOS and Android for work) and have to say it's pretty amazing. Come on 'droid!
Anyway, thanks again for your input on this issue!

Next Issue app?

(For when someone actually has a TF700 to test...)
Has anyone tried to sideload the Next Issue app? They say that they only support 1200x800, etc, and won't support the increased resolution of the TF700. However you can sideload the app from a page on their support site (http://support.nextissue.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/166).
If anyone should happen to try it I would love to know if it works on the TF700.
Thanks!

What do you want to knwo? It runs, no problem. I do not have an account, however. Does it cost money to open one? If not, I'll try and do so and log in after that.

Basically I was wondering if it still works. If you go into a magazine is it still all readable, etc? Can you flip through pages ok?
I would expect apps like Kindle to work, but Next Issue does more with video and interactive features. Because they say they only support certain resolutions I'm a little worried that Next Issue will start up, but that the content will not present right.
