Touchpad Pro for Windows Mobile

I saw that it was posted once before with no real answers. My question: Can the program Touchpad Pro be ported to Windows Mobile or can a program be made that has the same functionality. I am willing to pitch some funds to whoever will do it.
These are the links to the demo of Touchpad Pro and their website.

The Touchpad Media Server works similar but doesn't give full control.

Doesn't Windows Remote Desktop do that?

No - if you log in to remote desktop on thew phone, you will be logged out on the PC. With this you can work simultaneously on the PC and the phone.
But this program is nothing new - just a VNC client. There are already a few of them available for WM (including some free ones). Just do a google search for windows mobile VNC client.

Okay... Obviously I didn't read that site in enough detail...

With RDP (Standard windows remote desktop) on WinXP, it is actually possible to have more than one person logged in at a time.

Thanks man. I guess I just didn't know what to search for. I'll check them out and see if they do the same thing.

You can also use logmein Basic which is free up to a certain amount of computers. I believe 5 pcs. https://secure.logmein.com/createaccount.asp
LogMeIn is one of the many choiced that one has when deciding on remote access software. LogMeIn Basic is freeware, and allows you to install the client onto a single machine that can be access via the LogMeIn website through a browser. With a small memory footprint, the program does not interfere if you leave it up while you decide to load up a game.
Features
Although the full paid version of LogMeIn automatically allows you to transfer files by dragging, stream audio, network printers, etc, the free version has none of these features. Although there is a free 30 day trial, these features are nice but not necessary for basic remote access needs.
Speed
Bandwidth is a large factor in the speed and refresh of LogMeIn, and although I run fiber optics at home, there is still a small amount of lag between connected clients and the server. Loss of some keystrokes can be a pain if you are a fast typer, but this is no different then Windows Remote Desktop.

But the thing that I really need is for the computer to not be logged out while I am on it. I want the phone to be a touch pad/mouse/remote control for the computer. So any program that logs you out of the PC while you are remotely using it is useless to me and does not do what Touchpad Pro does. Hence why VNC is good.

Logmein does not log you out. You will see it on the screen and it also goes through firewalls.

Gotcha, thanks.

Controlling PC Remote Desktop

Hello
I am able to connect to my PC via the htc remote desktop application.
How do I stop it logging out the current user? This happens even when logging on with the same account.
I am trying to use my phone as a PC mouse to open file videos etc, so need to see the desktop at the same time on my phone.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this. I have tried logmein but this website does not allow me to select anything using the touch screen, although I can view the desktop fine.
Thanks

It's not possible to see on both with remote desktop.
You should look into VNC. Or if you don't need to have the screen on the phone but just mouse/keyboard controls there's G-Remote.

You could also try logmein.com - it is great!

I use Mocha VNC.

You can try the following website, this shows how to allow concurrent remote desktop sessions, it is geared towards windows 7 but its a start...

Also, that method doesn't let you see the same desktop on the phone as on the pc, , , both are logged on, yes, and (example) files saved to the desktop will both be seen, however one wouldn't see the same windows media player as the other, and indeed you would have trouble with both logins running (some of) the same program together.
I know this because i have both vista and win7 installs that have had concurrent logins enabled, which I didfor exactly the same reason as OP, heh, it didn't work. Hah.

Something like the "Logitech Touch Mouse" app for the iTouch/Phone would be cool on a Windows Mobile platform.
More info about it http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/control-your-pc-with-the-logitech-touch-mouse-iphone-app-2010021/
When I'm in bed, I'd like to be able to control my PC with my phone as if it were a TV remote controller or in other words a wireless mouse+keyboard.

It's exactly it, plus a lot more like g-sensor support, direct media player control, etc. Search for it on here.

Hi all, first-time poster here, although long-time admirer of the excellent work that goes on here.
This thread has compelled me to post as a winmo version of this "Logitech Touch Mouse" app would be a really handy to control my media pc at home, as well as the Skype conferencing machine at work in place of the bulky and ugly wireless keyboard we currently use.

This work fine if you do it to a terminal server, but not a client :-( this is the same what happens when you run rdp from a pc..it takes over the client..(like in xp, vista, win7) but again, i have a terminal server (win 2003) at home and running rdp from mt hd2 witout taking over the screen...

Phone as an extra display?

I've been wondering if it would be possible to use my phone as an extra display for my computer. All that I could find on Google is people asking about doing the exact opposite. The touch input doesn't have to work, but that would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

This is just an educated guess, but that sounds like a really tall order, per se.
There are, however, apps to remote control (preferably over wifi) your computer including showing your computer's display on your phone. If I recall correctly, PhoneMyPC worked best for me, but there's several others and I'm sure they've been updated. This isn't what you're looking for, though, is it?

i believe i have used "logmein" in the past. works the same as phonemypc. it lets you see your computer screen and remotely control it. roirra is correct as far as i am aware, these types of programs are the only ones available. also, please post in q&a or application section as this is not a development question. thanks!

I don't know about logmein for mobile devices. I have not used it for that. However you can use RDP ("Remote Desktop Protocol" which comes standard with winmo phones) and connect to your PC.
However if you use RDP you have to setup a static IP addy for your PC and forward port 3389 or 3390 and have atleast one user with remote privileges and a password for said user account.
Logmein takes care of all that for you, I just checked real quick IRC logmein is $30 to use on your phone. There are free RDP apps (I use "Remote RDP Lite") where you can add 1 connection before they make you have to buy the pro version, so far I have seen at the cheapest a $10 RDP program. Personally I'd go with some form of RDP program as it will be cheaper than logmein but you have to know what you are doing.
As far as using your phone as a 2nd monitor I do not see a way that the Eris is capable of doing so.

Printing from the Galaxy Note

Has anyone tried printing directly from the Galaxy Note to a Samsung WI-FI printer using the Samsung Mobile Print application for I need to print aircraft boarding passes and emails? If so, which Samsung model printer did you use?
Many Thanks

Thanks for your reply. But I thought you needed to have an Internet connection to use Printer Share. Can you print directly to the HP LaserJet 1200 printer from the Galaxy Note without involving networking?

I have the same printer. Is yours networked?

No need for internet connection, works via wifi, with usb connected and shared on Windows 7 (computer and Note connected in the same router). Should work with all network shared printers.

Thanks for more information. However, I want to print directly from the Note to a printer with no other hardware involved. That is why I am looking at the Samsung solution, but I would like to hear from anyone who has managed it before I buy a Samsung wireless printer.

I have a Wifi printer: EPSON Stylus Office BX30FW.
This weekend a friend tested to print on it under ANDROID (It was not a Note) and It works!
There is a free app from EPSON . It works with Ios and Android. Sorry, I can't remember the name but you can browse it if interested.

Epson Brother and HP all have apps. Check to make sure your printer is supported. HP seems to do the most.

Thanks for that useful information. It is good to know that other printer manufacturers are supporting Android.

Thanks for your useful reply. I've checked the Android Market and there is an Epson Application which supports a wide range of Epson printers and gets good review scores.

There is an app for Samsung as well: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.print.mobileprint&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zZWMucHJpbnQubW9iaWxlcHJpbnQiXQ..
"Samsung MobilePrint is a free application which enables to print photos, documents and web pages directly from your smartphone and tablet. The application also enables scanning document to your mobile device directly."
It seems to support a lot of Samsung printers.

Printing with Galaxy Note
I think what the OP is referring to is being able to print directly from the s memo or s note app... without having to export.
You can select print from the menu within s note/memo however it seems to only see Samsung printers.
Surely someone is working on a hack for this so we can print from any WiFi printer?
Thanks in Advance,
Dan.

Depending on your printer manufacturer they may have a standalone app. However I use Cloud Print now through Google which allows me to print anything from my phone to home printer without a pc connected

Epson or HP
Hello, I have a Mac, a PC, iPad and Galaxy Note. I am considering to buy a AIO multi-function printer from Epson or HP. Which brand is better supported in terms of compatibility with the Galaxy Note? Ideally, I want to be able to scan directly from the AIO device to the Note and print directly from the Note to the printer. The ability to print duplex and fax is a plus.

Good question, I have a A910g HP also known as 8500A plus, but never tried what you are asking for.
I will test the applications on play store during this weekend, and I will let you know if I am able to preform what you have asked for.
As for Epson printers you will have to ask someone else

I have a Brother AIO that has a great app that can do what you want. Or look for a Google Print enabled printer (HP makes some) and use the app I linked above Cloud Print.
Brother solution requires being on the same network. Cloud Print does not require being on the same network. Basically Google Print enabled printers have a built in print server
I am in the print industry and sell the Kyocera brand. Kyocera also has a fantastic app for both Android and iOS

I do print quite a few docs from my note.
I use printer share app which was free longtime ago in amazon app store. One of the must have and best app in its category.
Even at times when my pc/mac fails to see my printer, this works well.
Ps: I have brother hl- 2270dw.
@Galaxy Note™…

Resurrecting this thread to share my experience with the Samsung app which I used to print to a CLP- 320 (a Samsung laser printer) which is shared on a Linux machine. I never managed to get it to see the samba share but I was rather surprised to see that it supported IPP which was readily recognised.
Unfortunately the printed document mangled every non ASCII character (and I'm not too sure about the fonts but those are always complicated to handle in office documents). The charset problem however came as a bit of a surprise. I thought those things were behind us nowadays and that a 16 bit charset was the norm...
Anyway I'm now looking for a new printing mechanism. I'll look into Google's cloud print thingy.

Epson told me that their app supports the Galaxy Note. According to them, we can scan and print.

Has anyone tried the app PrintBot?

I have a Samsung printer and use it to print directly from my Note. Both from the special printer app and the Stock browser. Both works really well!

how to print via android using a asus printserver?

Hi.
I'm using an Asus router which have print server. Asus provide a service that allows me to print from Windows PC, but I'm not sure how can I use my Android phone to print documents from my home network. I have tried few apps like printbot but that didn't work for me. I am hoping anyone from forums could help me. Thanks

LPR?
Dear Srv Godara,
Is this a LPR print host? Perhaps you can use Let's print Droid, StarPrint - Mobile Drucker App or similar App that supports this protocol.
Hope this helps!

I'm looking forward to find such a helpful app for my Huawei.

Hey there,
Sorry to dig up this old post... but did you find a solution?
