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.

This is to get a understanding to what people do with their android devices. This is also another way to express what we do that some people are not aware of (ex:video streaming,etc). Maybe open up paths for others that may just use their devices to just browse internet and play angry birls. Just feel free to enlighten the forums with what "special" apps that without,you couldn't live with. Thanks and god bless

Damm u do quite a bit. Good to see that your using it to the mac. Question is, how often are you on the charger
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
Depends on the rom. With all this sometimes I go from 8 am to 9pm with single charge.... For some roms have to.charge in.between. YMMV though.

I am on dill's aosp rom. I have used almost all from dev forum. Love.them all.
Inspired from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I use gmail, twitter/fb/reddit, engadget, tapatalk, andchat, various weather/clock widgets,
Either play music locally with winamp or stream with last.fm
I'm currently experiemting with the app called Tasker. Right now i have it set to for when on wifi, turn auto sync on and turn mobile data off. When i turn off wifi it automatically enables mobile data and turns auto sync off. There's so much more that this app can do it's well worth the money. (Takes a bit of learning but well worth it) Cause im forgetful when it comes to turning auto sync on/off when on mobile data/wifi. Currently gonna try setting up gps to turn on when i open google maps/navigator and turn off when closing them.
Here's the market link for those interested.

I just browse the internet and play angry birds.
Mine is used as a complete mobile office. I receive email and faxes via email in the morning. The faxes come in as tiffs so I use tiff2pdf to convert them. Then I use printer share to print them out at the office printer 20 miles away or on the home wireless printer.some of the docs must be filled out, signed and returned, so I use camscanner to take a pic of the form and can send it back via email. If the recipient needs a fax,i use pamfax to send it from the phone as a fax. I also send all these files to drop box so everyone in the office has all these files and all the computers I use throughout the day all have what I need.
I also use the map software to get miles and rates for people. My main office programs are:
Thinkfreeoffice, docstogo, officesuitepro and quickoffice adobe reader and fast image viewer.
If my phone can't handle it, I will use wireless tether to hook up the laptop to the internet, but honestly, the laptop is getting a bit dusty lately
My old tilt 2 was pretty good at all this stuff, but was much slower and couldn't handle all the above so a computer was necessary when traveling. With this inspire and the android revolution rom I'm in my glory! Exactly what I needed.

I should mention that I do use facebook and friendstream to keep up with friends, and do have 20 or so games to keep busy at night.
Also use the calender and agenda for appointments and sync with outlook. This phone is the bomb.

Yeah I use mine to take notes at school and those professors talk alot. Check my email with the k-9 app. Play modern combat for fun. I use quickoffice to write my term papers and email them to myself. I love to use my video chat from Google to say hey to my gf wwhile I'm out and about. I use current widget to kill battery time in half. I love how I can be on phone with my dad and bring up Google maps to help him find a location. I use movie stream to watch a movie or so while on lunch at work. I use frame grabber to watch a movie and capture a certain image out of the video. Very awesome app. Ill use Justin.TV or ustream to watch the mavs in play offs or watch ufc. Videotofacebook is a helpful tool to upload straight to your account.alot more as well

Read xda, check email, internet, text, games, remote control for music and media players in my house, stream movies, piss the wife off when I hijack her mouse on her laptop from my inspire, watch occasional adult movies, netflix, hulu, Pandora, maps and navigation, camera, videos, and on rare occasions use it as a phone.

What is the best phone to pc app? I want to be able to access my apps like dolphin browser...is this possible?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
What exactly do you want to do? Use the apps on your phone through an interface on your desktop?
if your going to use it the way i think you are then wifi file explorer is a good one to use you dont have to connect the device to the computer all done over wifi
Hope this is the right place. I am wanting to find an app that will automatically backup my photos and videos to my home pc server while not physically connected to the pc or at home on WiFi. I have been trying to find something but nothing really cones close. You guys are my last resort. Thanks millions in advance!

Set up an ftp server at home and use foldersync. Or use bit torrent sync.
