Just intersted to know if anyone else is using their tablet as a second monitor and what software / setup is being use and there general latency / experience is like. I use idisplay on both USB and wifi and performance is pretty good, refresh is high enough to watch web video but it crashes media player when I drag movies onto it, havent found out why that is yet.
I mainly use mine as a second monitor for use with Presonus Studio one, I sometimes drag the midi track or a vst synth onto it so I can twiddle the knobs with touch instead of my mouse.
I use splashtop 2 on mine to access my 2 monitors.

Hello All,
I am a high school math teacher considering the purchase of this for classroom usage. My goal is to wirelessly connect to my desktop PC and run my windows software from the tablet (using Jump Desktop or something similar). I will be controlling a program called SMART Notebook. My question is this: the only reason I really want this tablet over many others is the accuracy of the S Pen, which will be awesome for writing equations and such. However, will the S Pen even work while using those remote desktop control apps? I've heard people say it only works for a hand full of apps. If this is true, I would not purchase this tablet. Other tablets just are so unresponsive with styli that I've tried. It's very frustrating. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

In case this is a tl;dr situation:
Will the S pen function smoothly and accurately in an app such as Jump Desktop or any other app where you remote access a PC?

U do know that the s note app automatically does math formulas and equations. Actually works pretty cool. Just to play around I wrote up a bunch of fake equations and it figured it out

Somehow i think you unresponsiveness issue is not coming from tablet itself but the network you used to connect both device... if that's the case note 10.1 wont be any help either...

I was testing the tablets with no network connection. I was just testing the accuracy of writing with various styli on various tablets. I didn't have an opportunity to try the whole PC remote control setup in the store.
Is it just me? Do I suck at using styli? Haha. I couldn't get things to write correctly. It would always miss spots in my numbers and stuff. As if you're writing in pen and it is running out of ink.

Is there an app for this? The peel app requires internet connectioncto get the control working.
I was wondering if this is possible, so I can troll other's tvs without wifi in them. Thanks!
Samsung Remote by Touch Squid is the best application I found out there. It works very well but the UI isn't that pretty.

Peel requires internet connection at setup only, to download ir pattern data, afterwards u can use it freely (except if u add another device or reset the setting) it worked even on my old sony crt tv.

Does anybody know if there's a remote app with which you can add widgets with shortcuts? For example you press the widget and the tv switches to source HDMI4?
Impressive app. Allows for the control of the Xbox360 on the Android phone. Very responsive as long as you have connected the phone and your XboX on the same wifi network, otherwise it's pretty laggy. Using IE on the XboX becomes much more useful in that you can easily scroll and navigate the browser using your Android phone's keyboard and pad app that allows you to scroll horizontally and vertically. Still playing around with it.

I think the name you are using in this post is going to confuse people because it is called Smartglass not project glass

Not an iPhone.....
After a short (yet cheap) disappointment with the Google Chromecast, I'm looking to get a nice piece of hardware to place next to my TV in the living room.
Wanted features:
HD Video playing capabilities with wide variety of formats.
Play downloaded files.
Play from distance (inside the house). Video could be either streamed OTA or transferred to a locally attached storage unit through a LAN connection (either wireless or not, the router is gonna be right next to it anyhow... :laugh: )
Affordability is always a pro...
Raspberry Pi with raspbmc or openelec?

Does that little thing play HD videos without any glitches?

The gbox midnight mx2 is an awesome device. Its essentially a rooted android computer that uses your TV as a monitor. You can get info on it from matricom.net
You would need a wireless keyboard/remote device to control it. There is a Logitech one recommended on the amazon page.
You can also use a 32gb micro SD card for additional storage too

Its 25 dollar for raspberri or 100 for the other one. Does it really worth the extra buck?

Yes it plays them very well.
I yet have to find a file which doesn't play well.
It's not an out of the box experience, but the price and after all results are worth the hassle.
You can use your android as a remote and there are a lot of plugins (online streaming etc.)
I just made a very interesting setup.
It's a Google Nexus 5, USB-connected to a Philips 231P4UPES DisplayLink monitor. Keyboard en mouse works, but i have no display, because there is no displaylink driver for android .
Now, lets think it works. Do you still need your laptop/tablet/desktop or other device?? I think not. My phone is fast enough with full HD. I can use all internet application and android apps, and on my work I can connect to VDI without a problem.
I say this is ultimate way of working.
(I made a picture of it, but cant post it, since this is my first post)
If your phone is rooted, then you can see your phone's screen on your web browser, using WebKey app. It is a remote device management app through wifi. You need internet access. Watch tutorials on youtube on how to setup it and start using it.

True, but I think that there is still a problem regarding with capacity. Both internal phone memory and external SD are not enough to replace a hard disk.
You can use a USB hub for your device. Then you can connect USB flash drives and hard disks.

Plus the clouds! The future won't spare mechanical hards - it's like internal combustion engine - it had its glorious times and now it's time to move on. Especially when the advantages of Sylicium was discovered.. All Hail SSD!
Oh btw you can buy a 2,5'' chipcard with 12 removable microSD cards up to 64GB and use it as hdd..
Everything will change. We will have everything on cloud services and we won't use many cables.

One will always have more possibilities with a bigger device but after 1k years everything we imagine now will look stupid (that is if we survive ourselves).
Technology will destroy humanity. Have you seen Terminator? ☺

There's a much easier way to access your phone from a PC, download AirDroid from the appstore, its free, and doesn't require rooting at all, once installed, you can access your phone from any PC either thru wifi or thru the internet, then go to "web.airdroid.com" from any PC browser, and scan the QR code on the screen with AirDroid on your phone. It'll automatically link up and give you access to everything on your phone thru the webapp, including pushing data from PC to phone clipboard, full keyboard texting, and drag-and-drop file transfer from PC to phone.
Can airDroid show your Android screen on your browser?
