[Q] need to control my tab from pc!

Hey all,
I just got a tab today, all new so far. Due to my disability i really need to be able to control the tap from my windows pc(similar to my mobiler for winmo). I've seen android screencast, i can get it to come up on screen but more nor keyboard work.
I spent the whole day(12 hours) trying to get around this. Does anyone know of any apps that actually work? I don't mind paying for it either.
I've dried droid vnc server and its not really working either. Thanks in advance.

Try remote rdp enterprise. Available in the market. Install it. Works great.

Logmein ignition should help

droid explorer works.
enable usb debugging on the Tab
then go to tools, then plugin and select screencast. wait for java plugin to run and the screen for the Tab should pop up. you can control it from here.
it might be a little slow but it works.

Remote web desktop, acts as a proxy to most of the main functions.

ive done everything but when i typed adb devices my device does not show...i even connect it to pc,use automount but still the same

I would recommend Webkey, very feature rich and easy to use. It may not be fast but it gets the job done.

thanks jmar8124 i needed this lol

Hey, for whoever it may help, I'm printing happily to my HP Bluetooth printer using printershare. I hope to try wifi printing also, but don't currently have access to a Wi-Fi printer.

hi..
yesterday i've tried to connect my gtab to a printer using usb cable (via usb hub for gtab), on notification : "printer detect", but can not print, maybe because its still need driver, is there any possibilities to use usb printer? and if it does, do we have to use samsung only printer?
thanks in advance, and sory for my bad english.

As far as I know you need to download an app for your tab to print. I would imagine there is one in the market for cheap or free. You would then share it like you would to Facebook, etc.. And select the app

is it like PrinterShare or Printbot? yes i'm aware there's app for printing, but they used wireless method or cloud method to print (frok what i've tried). what im asking is that using direct usb to the printer to print, because the tab is detecting printer being connected : "printer detect" when i plug usb to the printer but when i try to print from polaris office or gallery using print command, it rejected by : "only samsung printer can be use, you want continue?", then it failed to print (cause im using canon). what i want to ask is there any possibilities to print using other brand by using direct usb and not wireless or cloud method?
thanks.

Not that I know of. Is there no way that you can at least hook it to a computer and just print to it over your home network

yes,..i've tried that, and it works. but still curious about expanding the usefull of usb host that tab has. right now with usb hub, i've manage to use keyboard, mouse and a 250gb external hdd alltogether, so im wondering if a usb printer can be use too, after that maybe hoping that i can use my usb mini projector,...hehehe. thanks for the explanation m8, and sorry for my bad english.
thanks.

CIFS on these ROMS?

Can someone please tell me how to get CIFS.ko or whatever it takes for CIFS support on any of the ROMs? Or if any of these already have it, which ones?
Do I just have to update to the correct Kernel?
Thanks!

what is CIFS.ko?

CIFS.ko is a kernel module that enables Windows Network access.
If you use CIFS Manager or Mount Manager then you can have network folders or drives mounted as local folders on the phone and all the apps can access them directly - video, music, file expl etc. I have it on my Note and it works great. I used to have a ROM on the Infuse that had it so I know its doable.
If you search around on XDA there is a bunch of info on it.

Already reported.. no one else needs to tell him that he should have posted in Q&A...
And I have never seen the rom that can do that... HOWEVER.. I do know that there is atleast one app that can do that.. I tried pushing a file to my phone once... but it didn't work for some odd reason. I don't know why.. but that was a while ago. They have probably fixed the issue since then.. either way..
And dropbox is nice for some of the light duty stuff.

This is not about pushing or dropping - its about Playing.
I have lots of huge video files on my network - I want to be able to play them in any player without thinking about anything except selecting the folder, the file and playing the file in ANY player. This is a standard ko module that should be included in all ROMs but for some unknown reason it is not.

And you totally posted in the wrong section... Q&A bro...

works and it's free

Airdroid is OK, but it is not even close to the same thing.
What CIFS does is allow PC shared folders and/or drives SHOW UP as drives on your device so that ANY app that navigates the folder structure can see all the files on those drives and access them the same as if they were local.
So any Music app can play mp3 from any shared drive - ditto for videos, docs etc.

RemoteIME / Android Smart TV remote app

Since I couldn't find any info about this anywhere... there you go :

Someone first said he managed to get this android app on his mobile/tablet to remotely control his Android Smart TV..(http://forum.energysistem.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=30)
The thing is that this forum is in spanish only, and that the link points to a chinese page.... so I thought I'd stick it here !!!
This said, I tried it on my HTC Desire and on My Asus TFT101 and I definitely can control my tv with both of them
hoping it will help
b0b0
ps: I'm really interested in knowing HOW can this software connect to my Android TV without me entering any passwords ... This means I can go to anyone's house with an android smart tv & control it??!!!

Just going to bump this as its working well with my ATV1200
Anyone else had a go with it.. and is there any hacks to it?
Also been playing with this one.. but cant seem to get it to work..
