Hi,
I was thinking to buy a Logitech dinovo keyboard for my HTPC
http://ces.cnet.com/i/bto/20080104/lifestlyerichblog_540x360.JPG
... but then I wounderd if there is any application for WM6.5 that could use bluetuth to control a PC keybord.
I know i could use RDP client on my phone but then I get the screen on the phone as well..
I just want to use my TP2 as a keyboard remote to a Win7 PC with wifi or bluetouth..
Is this possible, does it exist a program for this?
Look for gremote .cab or also nueUSBKeyboard.
Both of these are located in this thread under Utilities. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I have tried the latter and it is what it is...just a keyboard through USB. Gremote I gave a shot...but was having trouble getting my Bluetooth to work on my PC...my issues not the program.
Touch Pro 2 as remote BT Keyboard
I saw an app (believe it or not) on the Windows Mobile Marketplace for $1.99
called MobileRemote that does exactly what you are looking for including mouse functions.
It uses BlueTooth to connect as an HID Keyboard.
It's from MobileSRC.
Cheers
You might look into GRemote, it does everything. However, just at tip, if you buy any keyboard software that uses Bluetooth, make sure you test the trial version first. I know quite a few of the mouse/keyboard programs don't work on the Rhodium because of the Widcomm Bluetooth stack used instead of the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
Wow, Thanks everybody!!
Now I have some things to tryout in the weekend..
Cheers!
Gremote works best over WiFi. I use it daily on my media center and love it. I'm planning on buying the paid version soon.
BRETT
I love GRemote, but it's sad that the computers that I'd use them on the most (work and school PCs) don't allow me to install the necessary software!
Wow Gremote was everything I wanted!
Works great with XMBC and Aeon skin
Thanks!
Ah man..u guys suck..now I gotta try wifi with gremote
gremote is working over wifi...however I cannot use any of the menus or settings on host PC. Is this a Trial limitation or something wrong with the install?
I can open settings program from taskbar...but nothing further.
wifi on my TP2 to a Win7 x64 works fantastic.... Playing around for some hour and now a get use to use it like a normal mouse.
one thing that is anoying is that gremote on the tp2 always turn on BT,, cant find any way to disable it
I am using it to type and tether. I can feel the waves killing my brain cells but, it feels good. lol I might have to fork up the 14 bucks to pay for the full service just to get the annoying demo message to go away. now if only I could get it to work on my Xbox 360. hmmmm jk
the app rocks!
oh... but i did find one problem. when typing using hardware keyboard; I can't seem to get the touchpad to work. or any of the control buttons. "DEL, TAB, CTRL, ALT" anyone know what is up with that?

[Q] keyboard and touchscreen as mouse for remote controlling pc? >not remote desktop<
Hello,
I'm a total noob regarding to software for WM6.5, but i wondered, is there some kind of program that allows me to use my phone's keyboard and touchscreen as keyboard / mouse for my desktop? Would be nice for my plasma tv with desktop connected to it..
Thanks in advance.
Bouke
I use this
I use GRemote. It's a client-server program. One part runs on your PC, the other on your WM or Android phone. I think there's a free and a Pro version, not sure, might just be the paid version (which I have) and it's *AWESOME*, I use it just like you'd mentioned - I have my PC hooked up to my HDTV as a HTPC/media center, and I can use my phone as a trackpad, air/gyro mouse, hardware keyboard, media remote, generic remote, and gyro joystick/racing wheel/etc for gaming. It can connect over WiFi or BT. I don't want to sound like I'm going to marry it or anything but it is a pretty awesome program. The media remote functions work with Winamp, WMP, XBMC, VLC, others.
EDIT: Sorry, got so hot and bothered talking about the program, forgot to mention the website. It's at gbmsoftware dot com.

Thanks for you reply Looks great! Going to try the demo right now, when i like it as good as you do ill purchase it(only 10$)
Greatz
hmmzz can't get the damn bluetooth to work... I have 2 dongles and my laptop but it won't work yet... Did you have any problems getting it to work?
Yeah got it to work new rom did the job, latest energyrom running my tp2.
Really great program, just the features i was looking for a long time.. Tough the connection is a bit laggy, or is this because it's just the demo version?
Yep! pretty nice.
Works great now! And true man, really awesome program, good features
Thanks!!
I use adhoc network it's faster
Sent from a parallel universe using my RHOD210 and xD a app
I am looking for an app that will allow me to use my N1 as a basic touchpad for my PC running VNC. I hap an app for my iPad that did just this, but I had to sell my iPad. It worked flawlessly, had multitouch gestures for scrolling, forward/back, etc. The app for my iPad was free, and I'm hoping to find one that is free for Android as well. I've done a lot of searching, and all I can find are apps that $3+ or ones that require some other server side software and don't work with VNC. I was recently fired from my job of ten years and my right hand is broken(I'm right handed BTW) so free is preferable, I'd be willing to pay $1.00 even. I don't need keyboard support, just mouse with buttons, drag/drop, multitouch would be nice too. My phone is rooted and running CM7, if that helps any.
Not sure about compatability with VNC, but Gmote works pretty nicely though you do have to install SW. I have a HTPC in my bedroom and sometimes it is just easier to control using my phone when lying down.
Saw that, it doesn't use VNC. Whatever I'm looking for needs to be using VNC.
gmote 2.0 works pretty well, you just have to install a server on your computer which is pretty easy. in-app instructions are given after you dl it from the market.

As I stated in the OP and my last reply, I don't want to install another piece of software. I want to use VNC. If it was done on iOS device for free, then it's bound to exist for Android as well for free or cheap.
have you tried gmote? it works really well

lllullzz i just asked him about the exact same thing two posts above haha
Have you tried Gmote? (sorry, couldn't resist. It is really good though)
I haven't really found anything that doesn't require additional software on top of your VNC software. The closest thing I can think of would be another VNC program. I personally use android-vnc-viewer which works great, but again it's just a straight VNC program.
why would you want to do it via vnc that transmits video when you can use gmote and send the mouse co-ordinated via touchpad directly to the server running on the computer, seems like ur buy the tea factory just for 1 cuppa

I don't want full video of my desktop, this is the app I had on my iPad that did just what I'm asking for here. I thought it was free, but I guess I had forgoten that it wasn't. In any case, it made my iPad into a grey surface that I could use with my PC like a touchpad, but it worked via VNC.
Hey, have you tried Gmote? I use it as home and it works pretty well.

So I broke down and tried gmote, it sucks, lags badly, no multitouch. I saw other apps that have multitouch, but I'm still back to the fact that I don't need some other piece of crap running in the background just for this when I know it can be done with VNC. If it can be done on iOS, I know it can be done on Android, just wish I were a programer so I could do it myself.

Please read the previous posts, gmote has been mentioned many times already.
Unified Remote
You could try the 'Unified Remote' app for Android (but it requires a server-side application to run on the PC).
The touchpad part works awesomely, and Unified Remote will work via Bluetooth or Wifi/3G.
There are also 'plugin' remotes that work for other situations, like Youtube remote, Windows Media Player remote, keyboard, VLC remote, etc...
I can't remember where I heard it from but I heard gmote works good.
The primary reason I bought the transformer was to be an RDP client (I already had 2 other tablets). For the last week I've been disappointed (almost regretting my purchase) because the RDP support was so bad.
I needed a true RDP client so MyCloud/Splashtop wasn't an option.
I tried several:
1. Wyse Pocketcloud Lite and Pro (which I love on my phone)
2. 2X
3. XTRALOGIC
They are all nice, but none of them are good enough for regular use. I need an RDP client that supports:
- Full screen (auto-fit) resolution (1280x750?)
- Right click (via usb mouse)
- Drag and drop (via usb mouse)
- Wheel mouse (via usb mouse)
- alt/ctrl keys
I finally found a solution: Remote RDP. It support all of the above. I didn't test the trackpad, but it worked great with a USB mouse. I've only used it for 20 minutes, but so far I'm fantastically impressed.

Update: 2X has released an update that works OK with the transformer and android 3.2. Right click was working, but I can't get it working anymore.
Good timing on the post, as I was hoping to find one. I used Teamviewer but as it goes across the network I didn't want to deal with the latency since I only need access over my internal network.
Are you using "Lite" or the paid version? I am wondering what ~$10.27 gets me in extra usage, but I will check this out tonight.

For now I'm using the lite version, but if I don't run into any issues I'll be upgrading to the $10 version. The lite version doesn't have a special soft keyboard for the function keys, but the pro version allows you to save custom keyboard shortcuts (ex. ctrl+shift+f12) for quick use.
Remote RDP Lite, excellent client and I think it has all the features you mentioned although I can't try the drag and drop so I'm not sure.
Edit: Sorry didn't see your edit!!

I cannot post a link, but you can find Remote RDP in the market or google for toremote.

Sounds very interesting. Does it support video that writes directly to the frame buffer (eg. Windows Media Center in full screen mode)? What frame rates do you get? And any idea how much bandwidth it's consuming?
I like Splashtop, but it'd be really nice to have an even more capable solution...
I've tried RemoteRDP, but couldn't ever get it to connect to my server running win 7 pro 64bit. Wyse Pocketcloud was the only one I could get to work without some sort of server program running on the computer (splashtop, vnc)
right click was one of the big ones, I sent the log to Remote RDP and he was able to do it within a few hours....which was excellent. However splashtop is slower, I sent them the same log/message basically and they still havent got time to do it. I guess they might be too busy? I love splashtop because it streams well, but the right click is such a essential feature.
GREAT to hear this! So glad app devs are starting to support features like right-click and scroll... great news.
I'll try RemoteRDP soon... although my server will also be an x64 machine running Win7Pro.
lordgodgeneral - let me know if you do get yours working (I'll do the same).
It's an excellent client.
It would be perfect if he could get two finger scrolling to work with the TF touchpad.
The only problem I have is that it turnes off local keyboard (I don't have keyboard for Transformer).
OMG! This is awesome! Just tried RemoteRDP Lite and it worked "flawlessly". Everything works, including right-mouse button, drag-drop, cut/paste. This makes me soooo happy! Finally, I can use my Transformer the way it was supposed to be used
Thank you for posting this. You made my day!
Win7 x64 works for me

I've been using it with Win7 x64 Pro on multiple machines (home and work). Works perfect in both cases. I also tested Sever 2008 and XP x86 (both work).

Running regular apps (no video; no games), it renders significantly faster than 2X, but it doesn't handle video as well as Splashtop. Splashtop is very impressive when it comes to streaming video.

What settings/tricks did you use on the app to get it to connect?
I just couldn't ever get it to go. I used the same settings for both RemoteRDP and Wyse, but just kept getting a connection refused on remoteRDP. Wyse worked from the first shot.

I don't know of any trick. I set the following fields:
- host to my ip address
- port to 3389
- username = xxxx
- password = xxxx
- screen = autofit
I left everything else to the default. All of the other RDP clients worked fine for me as well (with Win7 x64).
Oh, wait. When I originally setup RDP on my Win 7 box, I did select "Allow connections from computer running any version of Remote Desktop". If you don't select that, you must have an NLA capable client. I haven't tried it, but Remote RDP Enterprise claims to support NLA.
2X now has has great mouse + keyboard support
I just installed the latest update to 2X. It now supports:
- USB mouse
- scroll wheel
- ctrl/alt keys
- right click
- drag/drop
It also has the virtual keyboard for function keys that Report RDP doesn't handle as well.
if somebody can find the Remote RDP non-lite and non-enterprise holla, the enterprise one crashes and the lite one is missing sound and stuff

Great! Hopefully Splashtop will add support for these soon, too...
Why not use VNC client and a mouse?
Mouse should work in USB port. I have not tried, but it seems a good option.

Because Splashtop is so far without equal in terms of framerate. It's possible to watch fullscreen video with audio on the tablet via a desktop or notebook PC, without significant degradation. At the moment, it's basically the only way to watch Netflix on the Transformer, too.
Is iDisplay workin' on stock OS 1.1? and the iDisplay server is installed on Win7 64bit system. Reply with results.
"Sidd
[REQ] App-Dev.
My PC's display isnt workin' properly I'l have to replace my PC's display till then I was hopin to get iDisplay work so that I'l be able to view my screen on NC but unfortunately it isnt workin'.
Secondly I've tried remote desktops including Teamviewer, PhoneMyPC etc.
The trouble with Teamviewer is tht I'm not able to view the WHOLE screen at a time. Rest the UI of Teamviewer is great.
And if i talk of PhoneMyPC it is workin' fine too but the problem is that I'm not able to view my mouse pointer so it is little inconvenient.
If anyone is looking into app development it is a good idea to look into these things
More-over it'd be much helpful if the app uses Local Network rather than lookin' for internet access i.e. the client should connect the server with WiFi or USB will be a good idea?
And lastly yes anyone will point out at VNC then I'm having some issues with connecting to VNC as I'm using a router and a DSL modem in series so VNC server isnt setting up correctly.
Lastly Hit thanks if anyone thinks this kind of app will be really helpful
you might want to check out wyse pocket cloud there are two versions and the free on works great the paid adds support for sound and some other options both are great and setup is super easy install the server program on the pc then it will link with your gmail and auto discover on the android device .
