Hi,
I'm looking for an app that will allow regular work like:
- Right click
- F5 (or refresh)
- WinKey + R (run)
and etc...
I've tryed 2X and Remote RDP, but none of the support right clicking.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thx!
SplashTop HD is by far the best RDP app I've used. Haven't used it with a mouse but it works very well with touchscreen (hold for right click).
A slightly older version is included in MyCloud which is already on the tablet, does everything the market app does but hasn't been updated to link you computer via e-mail address for auto lookup off the network.
I used to use Wyse PocketCloud but quickly replaced it when I tried Splashtop.
Yep, SplashTop HD is the best IMO
Splashtop is not really an RDP software.
You need to install a software on the computer that grabs what is on screen and sends that to the tablet.
I use remote rdp, which is real rdp client. Right click is done by clicking and holding. You can even set the screen size of the connection (i use 1280x750) which is perfect for the tablet.
* sigh * Splashtop is the best at what it does.

Ok you have a point there but unless your in a situation where you can't install the streamer on the computer (eg. Server at work ) Splahtop is the best option.
For accessing servers at work I have streamer on my work PC and RPD from there - maybe not as fast as connecting direct but keeps security guys happier
Try PocketCloud Pro
I'm using PocketCloud Pro:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wyse.pocketcloudfull&hl=en
It's a true RDP client, and should do everything you're looking for.
PocketCloud Pro, true RDP client, with all the features you asked. Also supports other remote access protocols.
Do any support remote desktop to a Linux box?
My favorite is X2.
But I just got my TF101.
I asked the support to implement right-click an F1F12-keys.
They answered they would discuss this in the next meetings.
This would be really great.
btw: There is an app with supports right-click.
I don't remember the name, but the non-trail-version costs about 17€ and has some disadvantages compared to X2.
I love X2 stays connected in the background.
It seems like most of the major the RDP have some form of "right click" functionality. The issue is you have to usually do some special screen press combo or use a context menu somewhere. This is fine for simple operations but is extremely annoying for trying to do serious work or gaming via RDP.
I'm hoping that either splashtop or PocketCloud will support right click via the touchpad's right click or even better via an external mouse that is plugged in or connected via bluetooth. I hear there is no API to support that at the moment and that is the reason no one implements such a thing.
I'd also really like to have secondary buttons on my mouse work (like depressing the scroll wheel etc...). My dream is to be able to use CAD software remotely or maybe even play a game of L4D. Right now it runs and works, just the mouse implementation prevents you from being efficient and is really frustrating to use.
Maybe when ice cream sanwich comes out, the mouse APIs will be included.

I've literally never had a dropped connection. I use PocketCloud all day for work on both windows and linux remote systems. Not saying I don't believe you, just saying I've had a different experience than you.
Pocketcloud is a bit pricey compare to other apps, but it's totally worth it if you use it for business. The on-screen mouse pointer control dial thingy is the best input method I've ever used on a tablet, You can click accurately on the smallest item and see the pointer the whole time, plus it gives you quick access to right-click, the windows key, etc.
Hm, it's really unlikely any app out there is going to support the right click on the transformer dock the way it's configured, but I really want this. Maybe there's a free RDP client out there ripe for modding this functionality in? I don't know how hard it would be.
Actually I use Xtralogic's Remote Desktop and it works PERFECTLY with the dock, including right-click support, and 'hot tracking' the mouse. The ONLY weird thing about it is that you have to double-click-drag, but it's a minor thing...
With Xtralogic's (kinda pricey) app, my TF101 is basically a netbook now, and I couldn't be happier.

I used to connect to my ubuntu system but it seem that after 5 to 10 minutes the connection drops. (this using the latest ubuntu distro) Another thing I noticed is that when you do the setup , it only show vpn for mac or windows. either way it connect, but sometime I wonder is that the problem

Agree on the mouse pointer control dial. that thing is perfect.
Remote RDP should have right click, you may need to check settings? I emailed the guy when the TF first came out, he was able to do it really fast.
right click
First of all thx for sll your replyes, but like someone here said - using combinations is nice but its annoying.
I think that there should some kind of a tweak that you can install on the device that allows the use of right click button everywhere.
Wouldn'tit be nice to use right click features everywhere? Like special functions in the browsre and etc...
I'll be sure to try SplashTop...for now, TeamViewer is my nr. 1.
I am looking for an app which, similar to Splashtop on the Google Play Store, will allow to me run my PC's (or in my case laptop's) desktop remotely from my Samsung Galaxy Note. I have tried a few so far and, based on what I have experienced with them, here is roughly what I am looking for in such an app...
Firstly, it is a great preference of mine (although not a necessity) that the application is free. Should this not be an option, just make sure your recommendations are not ridiculously priced.
I want an application which scales down my desktop, so that it fits in its entirety onto my device without a constant need to zoom in or out. Splashtop, as far as I am aware, does this but I ideally want a free app as I said.
Finally, I'd like for it to be capable of transmitting sound, so that I could play videos off of my computer's hard-drive or just check something in my iTunes collection.
Nobody has any ideas as to an application capable of this, or should I just buy Splashtop as it does apparently work rather well - no?
Buy it to support the developer then ask for the feature you want. If not just Google blackmart and get it there.

I don't condone piracy. No, I am willing to pay for Splashtop, but I have heard mixed things about it. Does anyone know of any better alternatives - especially if they are free?
I am using PocketCloud Remote RDP / VNC (free app) quite ok for me to remotely checking things on my home desktop. But I have no idea if sounds work for your need, please try it if you like. If you found this is helpful, then you can pay for the "PocketCloud Remote Desktop Pro " version which can be downloaded from www.coolapk.com which is a chinese site anyway.
Hope it helps.

I am using landscape mode on my GN usually when accessing my desktop, when it opens, home screen is 1024x768 automatically shrink to fit on my GN. But I usually shrink and enlarge in order to visit those parts of the screen I want.
By the way, I am using VNC client at home so it might have some limitation on controls. Have not tried RDP or Google Auto search. Let you to explore and let me know. Thanks.

So it's almost 2 months later, anyone have any feedback on the SmartStick? I'm interested in a portable Google TV stick but the current reviews out there are mixed to say the least.

favi smart stick start up & initial impression
My pre order SS 4GB finally arrived today after a few delays. They did do some free upgrades due to the missed dates (Plex, USB charger, upgraded software)
I promptly plugged it in and got the start up screen wizard. the ir remote was not responsive at all. In fact, I had to unplug the USB charging and reset to get it working. Even after that, the remote has alot to be desired. Just a cheap piece of plastic, really. I am hoping I can program my Harmony One universal remote to work with it and/or someone will develop a wifi remote for the device. HINT HINT!
anyway, after the initial setup which was pretty painful using a combination of a directional tab for cursor and onscreen keyboard entry (I didnt order the wireless keyboard mouse as you may have guessed) I was able to set up my Google account and get a couple apps installed from the store.
I am pleasantly surprised that the device is configured like it is a phone, so the limitations of Google TV and other set top boxes are not there (I am happily listening to Spotify on my home system directly- not requiring my usual airplay form the iPhone or iPad.) I look forward to being able to essentially have all the apps on my GS3 that make sense set up on the TV.
Once I was able to get to the settings, I changed the display to 1080 (I would think they should default to the highest available...it is HDMI after all.
I will certainly report back after checking out how well it can stream the media from my server, but my first impression is that it has potential to connect media to the TV.
There needs to be a much better control setup as well as clear ways to set up screensavers.
UPDATE an hour later:
OK, so I am able to control the device with Google TV remote. no problem. The bugs in that app have been worked out well and it seems to work really well. its a free app, so perfect!
I like that I am able to hook up a camera and BAM! a nice Sype implementation using the big screen. Logitech Revue limited me to their proprietary Vid software. This plus Spotify make this a worthy purchase for me.
still wish I could have more control over the homescreen. I dont see how to clear up the screens and I am limited to a kind of MIUI look with all my apps listed and 2 spots for widgets. hmmmmm
Hi I just received my smartstick. Very pleased with android system but the remote is pain so I was looking
For some app for my SGS2 with which I can control smartstick. I found tablet remote which would be perfect
But!! When I run this app on stick it was telling me he cant register SDP record for com.tournesol.tabletremote
so it didn't worked.
My question is guys do you think it will be solved just by simply rooting stick? Is there a way how to safely root
Smart stick? Thx
Droidmote is what I've heard people use to remote control these Android TV sticks from their phone. It may be worth a try.
You can actually use Google TV remote as well.

Good review mate thanks for that
Just to let you know I use launcher pro (although you could use any of the launcher apps - most of which are free) downloaded from google play. This then creates a nice clean near stock interface to play with to your hearts content. If you have a big screen like mine you can jack up the columns and rows to 10 / 8 and have a nice big Spotify widget in the corner of the screen.
Worked for me anyways...best of luck!
I have the rooted OS installed as well as frodo 12 XBMC. It runs great. My only issue is with the Logitech Google TV keyboard which causes a bug when switching on XBMC for the first time. Otherwise this is a great alternative to turn a dumb TV into a smart TV and allow installation of all kinds of Android applications

You need to look very Closely on the Bottom of the screen very closely. I don't remember for a fact but the Skip Link is grey colored and not very easy to distinguish.
Changing the orientation won't help as then the link goes out of Screen.

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 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?
Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a remote desktop app to interact with a windows 7 computer, currently I use realvnc or the MS rdp app however what I need is something that will allow me to go full screen and use finger clicks direct on the screen not a virtual mouse like the two apps I currently use.
Basically I have a piece of touch ready software and I want to use it off my galaxy tablet.
Heres what I need:
It must do fullscreen
It must be direct touch
and finally it must work without an internet connection
Thanks in advance
Tim
Teamviewer?
It is still not direct touch, but I find it much easier to use than realvnc in those regards. I use it on a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and it's fantastic
Yeah I actually use that already on my computer however it needs to be direct touch, I also forgot to say that it needs to work on a LAN without an internet connection!
A friend at work says he used to use the bVNC app. It looks like it'll connect to your already setup realvnc server, and it was the only one he found that the touch input seemed to make sense. He said he switched to VLC players built in video streaming for what he was using it for though.
i m using only teamviewer and rdp
