Hi All,
Is there a way to assign a hardware button (something like a long press etc) to opening and closing the software keyboard? It would be nice to get access to the keyboard in a Remote Desktop session while still running at full screen.
TIA
I am looking for a solution to this also, I usually leave osk.exe running on the remote server(computer) side and this lets me do any typing I may need to do.
I would love to see an updated RDP client that allows for virtual screen sizes larger than 800x480 with pan like the iPhone RDP clients have.

I have pda2k... and it broke the display... i only see a white light with some cracks.
I've used Remote Display Control For Pocket PC (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/wce/downloads/ppctoys.mspx) in the past, to view and use my pda thru the Desktop computer. Now that I can't use the screen of my pda, i need to access it thru Remote Display software (or similar) the problem is that the program doesn't start right away, it needs some stylus clicks to choose connetion info , Host name and stuff(I use it all on default), since i cant see nothing on screen, I can start the aplication (put it on start up) but can't seem to connect 'cause i dont know here to click with the stylus, ou what keys to press on the pad.
Question: is it possible that one of you could tweak the Remote Desktop aplication to connect right away with no key/styluspress need?
It would save my life/data
May Thanks in advance!!!

use soti
hi
u can use soti pocket controller
Worst case you can use the remote tools that come with visual studio or evc. This doesn't require any clicks, but only gives you static screenshots - but requires no installation on the remote device...
Once you can see the screen, install a proper remote control app.

I like some of the new features of Remote Desktop Client for WM6, however, it still lacks a simple feature that i want / need. ( at least i cannot figure it out )
I would like a true full screen client that will actually display my entire remote desktop and if I want to zoom in, it allows me to zoom to where i point the stylus. WM6 version has this but in reverse. I would like the whole window to display a super small version of my whole desktop and if i click somewhere, it would zoom there.
does anyone have any suggetions of software that would do this. I do not mind running a software specific client on my desktop machine.
RDP with your features
Use GoToMyPC. It allows for just this kind of functionality. I liked it, but will be trying the RDP in WM6 to see if that will suffice for me
Logmein is pretty good and free as well. You can scroll around the screen by tapping and holding near the edge of the display. You can also zoom out to see the entire screen shrunk to the display size.
Make sure that you download a file for the PPC (don't recall where I found it, likely in the forums...), or it'll just cycle thru the login screen.
It can be downloaded using the PPC's Pocket IE.

I am trying to find the best combination or app for a good Remote Desktop. It needs to be able to display a dual monitor desktop.
I was using NetSupport but I am looking for something that's more reliable.
If you can use an browser based solution, I've used LogMeIn with some success. It won't show both monitors simutaneously but you are able to switch between them.

Real VNC
I've always used Real VNC, quick, small, functional. It also supports dual monitors. I use it to manage 10 PCs at work - saves me getting off my arse to prove that my administrator is just being dumb.

One small problem with it on WM6.5 ROMs though - if you go to the options page, the "ok" button is at the bottom right, and gets covered by the new menu bar. Generally I don't need to change the settings as the default is right for me.
Hi all,
Is there anyone working fine with an RDP / remote desktop client from the droid pro?
I wish to use the quite expensive Wyse PocketCloud app (the best on tablets and 5row qwerty's) but it does not work.
I am trying other apps:
- 2x client: not working numbers just as PocketCloud, working SW keyboard! To use for portrait keyboard too in some way
- Remote RDP lite / free + pro version working HW w/ issue, no sw keyboard
(Physical numeric keyboard works if you press and then release ALT and then the number. Still not perfect usability but you can get through work easier)
- FastestRDP / AccessToGo by Ericom HW keyboard works fine, but is no good as in responsiveness. No sw keyboard
If anyone has other suggestions please share them!
I am writing to Wyse support to see if they can mix the best of functions: working sw keyb from 2x and HW keyb from Ericom.
Cheers!
I'm running RealVNC on Windows XP and connecting to it with my Droid Pro with VNC Viewer. In order to get a good software keyboard up I was recommended to try Smart Keyboard Pro. It works very well on the pro in landscape mode. I haven't gotten it to work in portrait mode, which would be a nice option.
I also tried the Wyse Pocketcloud app and had troubles with it unless I gave them my google account and installed their program on my computer. Wyse is supposed to be able to connect over VNC and RDP connections. I wasn't able to get it to connect easily using VNC. I've never messed with RDP because I've always used VNC.
wyse pocketcloud
Yo no luck with smart keyb pro.. Try 2x client (but it is only rdp) with sw keyb portrait mode or the others with hw keyb working well (ericom is the most straight forward use, remote rdp is more fluent in screen but fn must be separatedly pressed from the number.)
I actually much prefer rdp (not from android really but to work on from windows and linux pc's) as it autoscales resolution to fill the size of the screen you're on in fullscreen mode and it is faster imho.
VNC can set encryption on any windows and linux box but still no comparison to me.
So... pocketcloud works fine with no need google account, just skip and add a new connection.
I bought the app for multi profiles as it is the best solution I found (rdp + vnc) as in speed and usability.
No google account for me (as if it was related... rdp / vnc and... google account? need no help in configuring it), and I will netstat my tablet to get block via hosts the connection to their site (I get no network very often if offline).
Anyway on droid pro the app is still great but too many issues if not in landscape + sw keyb... and the droid pro looses it's point like this... Even connect bot is landscape... bleah..
I am looking for a remote desktop solution, like LogMeIn or TeamViewer that doesn't require me to do any detailed configuration.
The problem is that LogMeIn, for example, won't treat my Note 3 phone as a tablet, so I can't use the mouse like a normal mouse. (The settings for mouse are "move mouse" and "move screen", but there is no direct mode available for phones to use a mouse like a regular mouse.)
My device is a Verizon Android 4.4 KitKat Samsung Note 3 phone (unfortunately rooting is not an option for me), and I am using it with the Note 2 dock with an external monitor and wireless usb keyboard/mouse. Everything works great except I can't find a good remote desktop solution that will allow me to work "normally" in terms of the mouse.
I also have Win 8 Home version on my desktop PC and do not want to configure port forwarding and a fixed ip to solve rotating external IP address assignments. (Please excuse me if I didn't say that correctly, but the point is that I really don't want to deal with those kinds of complexities.) Yes, I realize that I may have too many constraints - don't want configuration challenges (which I think rules out VNC or standard RDP), and also no rooting of the phone. But I am willing to pay a small monthly subscription, e.g. I looked at PocketCloud with $5/month, but that doesn't seem to support my requirement either from a quick look at the manual.
Is there anyone who can suggest a good solution for my needs?
Have you tried the google remote desktop? It's free. I've been pretty impressed with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought about that because it was relatively new. But I may try it (after some more reading). Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for external mouse support. Here's one review...
Review from Jim Fox
Great, but no external mouse support I have been using Splashtop for a while now, but was super excited to use this when I saw it come on the play store. The problem I have is that when I take remote control of my computer, I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The program works like a trackpad to control the remote mouse with touch, which is great when you don't have an external mouse, but makes it near impossible to control when you do. You have to hold the right mouse button down in order to move the remote mouse and then click with the left. Near impossible to use. Please fix.

On the other hand, the comments make me wonder if I should try LMI and TV again with an external trackpad instead of a mouse. I wonder if that behavior might be better?
