Hey guys,
I am looking for a way to mirror one of the monitors of my windows 7 pc onto an android tablet.
It needs to be very simple connection. Its being used to allow a friend of mine to see the display closer. All that is being displayed is text and pictures. Needs to be fairly fast to update, but not perfect.
Any suggestions for apps? Obviously it will need a windows portion as well, which is just fine.
Thanks!

I was wondering if there is anything like Pocket Controller Pro from SOTI:
http://www.soti.net/PCPro/Default.aspx
The application shows and controls the device (Windows Mobile for now, don't see any port to Android) from your PC screen.
Is there another type of application like this out there that can be used in the Android world ?
Thank you in advance.
I've searched high and low and can't find anything close to that app for android. I don't think one exists yet.
yes, also mobilier is much better for windows mobile, and it's free. It's called android screen cast http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663390
Its funny but I've been on that almost all afternoon trying to get it to work. Seems like a good program, but just can't get it to work on my rooted phone. adb has always given me problems.

Weird, worked for me out of the box. But yeah, nowhere near as good as MyMobiler for WinMo.
Try Webkey!
Hey try Webkey. It's on the market and allows you to do quite a lot of stuff including writing emails and texts, looking at your screen, export messages, call lists, contacts and more! It's really pretty good and it's free on the market!
seems like pocket controller is finally releasing tomorrow for android

Hey,
I am considering to buy myself the transformer with the dock and I was wondering, if it would then work as a "real" netbook if I use it in connection with Splashtop? Therefore I have some questions:
* Will all kinds of software (Microsoft Office, Eclipse IDE, etc.) work?
* Are the keyboard and the touchpad fully compatible? Or will I have to use some kind of virtual keyboard although the dock is plugged in?
* How will this affect the battery life?
* Will there be any interferences with surfing the web?
Thank You very much so far!
I had the same thought but I just went and did it.
Even though the asus transformer has an app that is a clone of Microsoft office (Polaris Office) Microsoft office will work.
The keyboard works fine with me. All that the keyboard does is replace the onscreen one, so it has to work.
It will have the same battery life as you would normally have while Wifi is turned on.
I personally noticed that it was a little laggy, but I have really bad internet.
Good luck sir
Thanks for the reply!

What's about the touchpad? Does is also work completely right? It think I read somewhere that using the right-click button causes Splashtop to terminate?

How fast is/was your internet connection? How fast should it be?

I really think that Asus TF together with its Dock are a great team, but I am afraid that it won't fulfill my expectations. Of course, I could buy me a netbook, but I also would like to have the ability to play around with a touch-screen
So honestly, how long have you had the TF (and how long have you used Splashtop) and do you think it is a "good" combination of a netbook and a tablet?
Right click will quit splashtop (it is back) but holding down left simulates right click. On my lan splashtop is almost like running windows locally. Over the net it is as good for most things as any other remote solution but somehow manages to stream video better than any others.

I have to ask this question, but you are aware that Splashtop is a remote desktop solution, and that in order for it to work you must have a PC or a Mac running somewhere on your network (or accessible from the internet), and it is this machine that actually runs your software?
The reason I ask is because you're asking if specific software works with Splashtop - in essence, the software on your "server" machine is immaterial to Splashtop because Splashtop is just a remote desktop.
Regards,
Dave
Hey Dave!
I fully understand that the software has to run on a normal OS and the "output" will be streamed to the TF. The thing is though, I am not sure if the 10 inch display can resize the images so far, that the software can be used productively.
So my question is how good can the display handle "intensive" applications which have a lot of screen elements. Is the small display able to scale it down properly?
When you run splashtop from the transformer, it automatically changes the screen resolution on the host computer to a size that will fit on the transformer screen perfectly (At least in my experience). Once you disconnect your computers screen resolution goes back to what it was set as.
You can choose the following screen resolutions:
800x600
1024x768
1280x720
Best fit to transformer
Native resolution(whatever you currently have set on your windows or mac comptuer)
In practice your primary concern should be the tablet -> mouse situation and having enough bandwidth for what you're doing.
The regular version that is bundled will also tend to disconnect when you go back or to another application, I assume so does the HD.

One other thing to note is that when you are using the trackpad on the dock, you get the android mouse plus you get the mouse on the computers desktop. The mouse of the computers desktop follows the android mouse around, with a little bit of lag (if you aren't on the same network).
As mentioned above, the right click button on the dock still does act as the back button, exiting the application. Tapping and holding is the way to make a right-click action happen on the host computer.
If standard RDP is an option (if you have a VPN or something), the 2X RDP app works wonderfully with the transformer keyboard dock and trackpad. It actually allows you to use the right-click liek you normally would - it's JUST like sitting in front of a PC....
Like I said though, this is just plain RDP - will not work via the internet without a VPN.... ALso, not good for things like video, etc.....
Hello to everyone,
I'm writing for a friend who has a big problem with TeamViewer:
"I'm a 19 yers old boy, who is affected by a rare degenerative genetic disease that forces me to stay 24/7 lying, and allows me to move only the index of the left hand, that I use to move the touchpad on my laptop.
Yesterday, I've updated my Android smartphone (an LG Nexus 5) to the new 5.0 version "Lollipop", but the remote control of the TeamViewer Quick Support app, which is foundamental to me for using my smartphone, does not work anymore. The app cannot connect to my phone, and it keeps the "connecting" word on the screen without any effects.
I state that the notebook software and the app, are up to date to their last stable version. In addition the laptop mounts the Windows 8.1 O.S.
I please the staff of TeamViewer, or anyone who can help me to solve this problem, to make compatible the app, or give me a solution.
I'm not able to use the smartphone without the remote control, and without smartphone i'm more disabled than i already am.
Thank you,
Mattia."

I had this problem when using via WIFI, try turn off WIFI and use mobile data, worked for me!!!
Using Android as touchscreen monitor? Is there an app?
I have a Nexus 7 2012, and think the screen is great. It's a huge part of the reason I went with a tablet, rather than a computer. Unfortunately, there are some limitations that I really don't care for, and device capability is one of them.
I know that using a Febon HDMI UVC interface, it can be used as a monitor easily. I also know that there are apps that will allow you to use the tablet as a touchpad.
So the real question is, does an app exist that allows the touchscreen to be used to control a Windows machine, while displaying what the monitor output does? If not, how hard would something like this be to do?
Thanks!

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
