so im trying wyse pocketcloud. easy setup and it works. but the only way to actually run it in widescreen is to buy the 15 dollar version. so for free you can use it but a third of the screen is black.
any free ones that go full screen?
I have 2X, remote rdp lite, and pocketcloud installed. 2X seems to be the most full featured free one. I use it most of the time.
Remote rdp lite allows you to set the screen size, but is limited to 5 saved connections in the free version.

how do i set it up?
that's why i like wyse since you just login to gmail.
Check out Teamviewer 6. Set up the program on the client machines and you're all done. Works well on my A500.

I use Wyse free app, and my screen is full? There is a small circle launcher in the middle of the screen that gives you options for keyboard etc. and there is a "full screen" option on there, or you can simply use your "Double tap" screen to make larger, or pinch zoom etc.
+1 for 2X
I use it to manage any and all machines I can. I haven't tried it in a Terminal Services Gateway environment yet, but I can get into any server I need to on my Iconia, so that's enough for me.

man i feel dumb, thanks!
2x is best, clean and simple! Change you mouse to satellite for even easier control.
not free but best
Splashtop HD.is awesome. Ihave tried.a.few.of the others mentioned.you get what you pay for.
Good luck
+1 for Splashtop HD. It works great and it's the fastest of all the apps I've tested.
It's not free though.
I use RDP lite, works very well, just set the screen to 1280x750, thus it keeps the android buttons on the bottom.
I use a usb mouse to navigate with it, it is much easier then any other solution.

Splashtop Remote HD is 50% off at Amazon, according to an e-mail I just got (8/18)
Check out on gosupportnow remote support tool. It has the Fit-to-screen display feature wherein, it perfectly displays the presenter's screen on your screen, regardless of the presenter's screen size. Alternatively, you can also deploy on premise remote support appliance such as RHUB or Bomgar appliances for remotely accessing computers.

Are there any PC remote control app? Something similar to the team viewer app for iphone or another one?
Thanks!
Gmote 2.0 is kind of a remote app, mainly for media though.
It allows you to search through your files of your pc, from your phone,
and either play them on your pc, or on your phone. Has normal, play pause volume settings.
I.e. if i have an episode of family guy on my pc, i can use my phone to play it on my pc, which means i can be lazy and not move off my bed and watch it.
Also if i fancy doing it the other way round, i can stream the episode to my phone.
Only works over a local wi-fi though.
Thanks for this Phil, it's incredible and free!
It works perfectly on my Desire and Windows 7 PC (even though the installation instructions say XP/Vista).
No problemo
Only annoying thing is i cant stream most of my videos to my phone , buts that not the app fault, its fact there mostly .avi .
Great little app for us lazy people! Very useful when your watch a series of something with 20 mins episodes and you cant cant be bothered to get up and go the next one!
If any of you use MCE try myRemote, its awesome!
GRemote Pro is also awesome, not free though...
Thanks for your suggestions but I was looking for something more than just file browsing and running applications, more like having my PC desktop displayed and the mouse controllable on my desire's display.
GRemote Pro will allow you to control your mouse cursor and type etc, but won't display your PC desktop, you're talking about remote desktop software, not remote software.
For that try the LogMeIn free beta, or PhoneMyPC.

I can Highly recommend Gmote.
Tried it today on Ubuntu desktop machine and It's awesome!
Logmein is already available. Teamviewer is still in dev.
phonemypc is awesome. The execute Actions feature allows me (with the help of the app developer), to open a MS Access database on my pc with one button press. When that database is opened it automatically runs macros within Access.
I then press another button from my Android to close the MS Access database on my PC. You can of course remotely control your PC from your android. However, as mentioned above it is the ability to one button press an action that can be a bat file on your PC.
Excellent and well worth the money IMHO
If it's a remote desktop app you're after, have you tried RDP Client or PocketCloud?
UnifiedRemote looks pretty good.

Hi @all!
Teamviewer beta is out.
Can't giva a link, but it's on there side to download and not yet in the market.
Here's the official link : http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer.apk
It's an awesome app, I must admit. It works really good.

TeamViewer beta 6.x both for desktop and phone work excellent! Pretty much exactly what I was after for months.
Initially, their front page ad scared me. Some Indian and Philippine fraudsters were using the same ad on their websites with a different edited product name which looks very similar overall (and the same blue website theme). They were phoning UK/US homes disguised as a legit business trying to get you to install such a product on your PC with lofty offers in return (free software, movies, etc). The product allowed them to basically take over your Windows machine without you realizing.

Anyone use anyone of those apps that let you run a server on your desktop / open up an app on your xoom and control your mouse and keyboard via the touch screen?
if so which is the best one optimized for the xoom? thanks!
PRemoteDroid. The server doesnt need to be installed, just a few files and you run the program. I keep a copy on my phone and Xoom incase I need to use it elsewhere.
If you are referring to accessing your computer remotely via Remote Desktop then I would suggest Remote RDP. It was free and works well on the Xoom. I am out of town quite a bit and access an office computer with it now. My laptop stays at home!!

oh ty, this may be very useful for when I already got into bed then realize I forgot to turn something on on my computer...I am lazy sometimes lol.
I recently tried vlc direct and vlc remote app on my tab, and it is awesome! Now I want the full power! I want to full access to my pc with pc interface( like team viewer or log me in) but over wifi. The reason I choose wifi because my internet connection isnt fast enough to make it smooth. So is there an app for that?
I personally use Splashtop. It's fast enough for me to play racing games using a ps3 controller over the wifi.
I use splashtop.if you have a static IP from your provider you can log into your desktop from anywhere in the world with internet-including tethered to 3g.just some configuring in router needed.
I didn't like Spashtop so I went with 2X Client. Works great! Also you do not need a static IP if you don't feel like paying for it. Go to http://www.no-ip.com/ and get a free dyndns account. Also some routers (like my Cisco) have built in DynDNS.org capabilities.
Splashtop HD works fine for me.
I use "Unified Remote"
Find it amazing for controlling my PC, tons of preset remotes, custom remotes, free version available.
2x works flawlessly and is free.
I actually had not tried Splashtop, it was a different prog. Going to try it out from when I am home. When not at home, i'll use 2X.
Edit: Tried it and it doesn't support multiple monitors! Doesn't really need to buy it should deactivate the others like RDP does. Also it unlocks your computer, so anyone sitting there can see what your doing and could take control if they wish. Needs more work but good concept cause it's fast!
I choose Remote RDP, easy and fast
bought splashtop twice once for my phone and once for my acer a500... (hd) love them... can use it over the web too with cable modem
Splashtop HD works great inside the house and out. Even connected over tethering through my cellphone's 3g. Best $10 I've spent. HD is different (better for iconia) from the normal version. Although the normal one is free at GetJar.com right now (save $5 - works good on the Dell Streak 7). Very easy to control my computer just like sitting in front of it, and even though it has to change the resolution settings on my pc it doesn't screw up my desktop either (It changes the resolution so there's no scolling on the tablet 16:9 screen even though my desktop is 4:3).

Maybe I am lost on what you mean, but Team Viewer works for me over Wifi.
I can do IP connections at home, and non-ip based connections away from home.
The only thing is on the client, you need to enable Incoming LAN connections in the General options.
Or...Is there some feature that I am missing?
Teamviewer has an android app. works great over wifi or 3g. Put it on your PC and you can control any device from any other device, even wifi tethered.
you could even use your pc through your tablet through your phone.

I use Teamviewer universally on everything, phone, tablet and PC2PC then I use Splashtop and Pocketcloud as my phone/tablet to PC backup.
Teamviewer can be configured to use internal ips, so if your internet connection doesn't work well it can jump to the internal network instead.
This is using the app Onlive Desktop, available in the market but daftly "not compatible"
Alternative download links near the bottom of this android police page:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-and-more-hands-on/#download-and-availability
OK so download the app from android police.
go to the onlive website, sign up for an account, ignore the USA only nonsense, it works fine in uk.
install the app, sign in, and you get, windows desktop with Office.
you can minimise, resize windows, spell check works, its fast and smooth and the most awesome app i have ever seen - it ROCKS
You need to pay $5 per month for internet explorer but Office is free with 2gb dropbox storage.
Pics attached!!!!!!
wow. That's cool. Works well.
Anyone have it working with the keyboard dock??
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Keyboard dock works perfectly.
The back key works like the ESC button in excel for example.
shortcuts work in word too.
The 2gb storage is not dropbox btw, its onlive's own servers. There is only 1 save place in the app which auto syncs with their cloud storage on the onlive servers, which is not connected to your transformers file structure.
So to open apps on your computer you have to go to:
http://files.onlive.com where you login again and use a web interface to upload, download, delete, rename.
I did this in dolphin browser - you cant do this from within the app, you have to use an alternate browser.
Makes it a bit harder to keep all your files synced etc but i think they are working on improving the storage / saving relationship so it will be like ubuntu and share your data - who knows if or when though!
only thing i have found missing - no macros in excel, you cant open the VBA coding pages or bring up a macro tab or recording ability. not the end of the world but would have been nice!
website interface pic attached:
how did you get the dock to work?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
not sure what you mean? Is your dock not doing anything at all in Onlive?
I just started typing and using the trackpad, nothing special, it was always working.
try restarting or maybe unplugging and replugging your dock into the tablet to see if that does it.
Got it to work had to uninstall the app and reinstall
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I wish there was a way to change the keyboard language then its will be perfect
Well, you can change the language allright (I tried Word in french) but the keyboard layout seems to be impossible to enable... so as much as I like the concept, this app is useless for me, as I just can't type in french...
Must be the reason why it is not available in my country, according to the Market.
Does networking work on it? Is there any way to get another browser on it without having to pay for IE?
It's nice but the novelty wears off pretty quick IMO. The features are too limited. I would rather use splashtop to stream my own win 7.

Agree Nice to have a familiar page to work on, but unless you have wifi access it is useless. Several other tools offer many of the functions, without the strings attached. Also company not clear about security of your saved docs.
The transformer is compatible if you install by going to market.android.com in your browser and pushing the install to your device. Weird, but it works.

It should be compatible from the market on the tablet that's how I got it.
External mouse seems to work OK but the right-click was not working properly (at all). Scroll wheel wasn't working either.
If anyone is paying for the plus features can you install programs on it?
I heard you can but that would be awesome if you could use steam or something or install onlive.. (lol)
It might be a really limited version of windows 7 but if you can install programs that's pretty cool. I have a macbook unfortunately so I think it's really cool being able to play around with windows 7 even if it's not full featured. And to give onlive credit. Quite a few of those "touch screen" tablet like windows 7 devices run around $1,000 or so. I've played with a few at the MS Store. Not everyone might have a use for this but I'l sure some will and it's just really cool to be able to do.
I too would only be interested in this if I can use some of my familiar windows apps, like photoshop and after effects..that would be the only reason if onlive can get these apps installed and working on my TF, otherwise I will stick with splashtop and just remote to my home-based PC.

Then OnLive will have to pay Adobe a ton of licensing fee, which will be passed down to the users, or resort to using advertisements.
Either way, I am not willing to pay a fee or deal with advertisements to use programs that I already have(not gonna say own, lol) on my personal computer.
i have just used word and excel to prep a finance report, works fine. Bit slower and clunkier than doing it on a PC, but if you dont have a PC and therefore cannot use splashtop then this is a decent solution.
i needed to use both word and excel, you just cannot do that in polaris - it only allows 1 type of document open at once so you can flick between the two.
i tried using kingsoft office but you cant even do bullet points in its word, and its excel cant even do formulas lol
so for me to use word and excel, onlive is the only way and it worked fine, even if a bit slower than an actual PC.
thumbs up from me!
any else tried it? the touch pad/keyboard works flawlessly and its faster than any vnc client I've tried however I can't find an option to disconnect or go fullscreen. I setup my vm to use atrix's native 960x540 res so essentially with fixed fullscreen support this would be the perfect setup
edit: back will disconnect. it wasn't working initially (it would cause a right click) but either they fixed it or my phone fixed itself. this vnc client has support for external mouse/keyboard on android, so with the lapdock, the touchpad/keyboard works. yes, even right click works. once they at very least offer basic fullscreen/no status bar support this easily replaces webtop for me as long as you have a decent internet connection.
tl;dr spend 99c on jump desktop vnc now before the price goes up =D
Except using a vnc app on the phone wont work well translated on the touchpad. I used teamviewer and i had to drag the touchpad to move the mouse, it was kind of annoying.

that's the beauty of jump desktop. it has support for external mouse/keyboard.. so the touch pad acts like a real touch pad. the mouse on the remote machine follows below your blue android mouse
theres a free app called pocket cloud which has the same functionality, but the keyboard is iffy, and overall it's just not as fast as jump. there is a little lag as the virtual machine follows your mouse especially on 3G but it's the most amazing client i've found so far. just need to push them for fullscreen support
Hi,
I'm one of the developers on the Jump Desktop app. Glad you're finding Jump useful.
1. Re: back button not working: We actually fixed this in our 4.0.4 update - let us know if you have any issues with this.
2. Fullscreen / status bar: Jump should already be going fullscreen for you. Which OS are you running on your Atrix?
3. Also, did you know that pressing the 'menu' button shows / hides Jump's functional keyboard at the bottom?
4. And yes - the price is going to up - our iOS version costs much more
Please do let us know what you guys want to see with with Jump - we really want it to become the best remote desktop app on the Android market.
I, for one, am using an alpha build of CM9 and find that your program works very well.
One thing that I would like to see is full-screen without any panning, which I believe is what the OP meant. Is there a way that the android notification bar could be hidden so that we could make complete use of the phone's display for the VNC?

Nice that you care enough to participate in the forum here. Thanks!
Great app, by the way. I justify paying for very few apps, but yours is worth many times the .99 I paid yesterday. (Now that I have mine ) I would say you could reasonably raise the price to about the level of PocketCloud. although I find your app to be superior so far.
As to future features, the only thing I can think of is file transfer.
