My mum just got a Nexus 10. She's not very technically minded and may need tech support from time to time. I don't live nearby so I'm looking for an app that will allow me to remotely see and control her screen (preferably without needing root). So far I've tried Teamviewer QuickConnect which allows screen sharing on some devices but it seems that the Nexus 10 isn't one of them.
Any suggestions?

I was going through uninstalling some of the stock applications I knew I wasn't going to use with Root Explorer and came across "LogMeIn Rescue", a remote access tool for support personnel. I personally am not particularly happy that came pre-installed as I am not comfortable with the idea of T-Mobile personnel having remote access to my Tab and promptly removed it. Has anyone else come across this? Can anyone provide insight as to why it is there?

Did you make a back up of it.

Of course
LogMeIn Rescue is for remote support, the way the tech works is the support agent (in this case t-mo) would attempt to create a remote access support session and give you a 6 digit code. You then enter the code into the logmein rescue app and it connects your device to the support techs pc/mac. I've used the support application on the tech end and the code must be entered into the phone app in order for it to connect (logmein offers a 14 day free trial). However, as of now, Android is not supported (there's support for pretty much every other platform) but i guess is on the drawing board. On T-Mo's end the idea is probably so the tech can help when a customer calls in, after all its easier to troubleshoot issues when you can see whats happening instead of just listening and trying to visualize it. This is just my guess based on my understanding of the technology.
I've tried a few of the remote/ Makes your tablet a second screen apps, but I don't think I had found one that gave me audio out of the tablet. Is there such a thing?

You might have to explain that one a bit better. Are you trying to remotely access the volume control on your tablet from your phone (or similar)?
If so, Droidmote works fine for that, although the server app (needed for the device u wanna control remotely) is now paying app (used to be free ).
If that's not what u were after, maybe a more detailed explanation of what ur trying to do could help...
I want to remote into my computer and use it on my tablet vut i need audio too.

i was just thinking and wondering, is there a way, or an app, that lets you launch an app on an android device (specifically my broken nexus 7 that i now have working minus touch screen) from another android device? the reason why i ask is that while using VNC to currently do this, there is a delay. all i really want to do is launch XBMC on the other device from my nexus 7 without having to go through the process of opening VNC to connect to it, then wake it up, then launch the app.
any thoughts or ideas?
Hello, I have just come from a Note 4 and the one thing I miss is the teamviewer control via a PC (quicksupport addin for Samsung). All you get with the Nexus 6p is mirroring and not control currently.
Does anyone use a reliable remote control ie desktop controls the android phone?
Thanks

Download AirDroid on both computer (mac or pc) and your phone.
It is a very slick interface which you can access (read/send/recieve) sms messages, call log, dial from computer, and then there is a button that looks like a siloute of binoculars which will VNC into your phone. Have you phone unlocked and on the home screen the first time you try as SuperSU will ask to give it root permissions, if your phone is on the lock screen it might auto deny these permissions.
You can even send files to the device through the interface although I never use that feature.
I have a Fire HD8 (7th gen) that I have added Google Play store & launcher hijack thanks to this site.
Has anyone been successful finding remote control/management software to control these fire tablets from a Windows (or Linux) system?
If this can be done, I would buy a second one as a gift for an elderly relative who would not be able to set it up by herself.
In the past, I have used Teamviewer for computer to computer management, but the version I tried on my tablet appears not to allow control of the tablet, only the other way around.
A trial version of join.me allows viewing of the screen, but not take control.
I'd appreciate pointers of any other solutions I may not be aware of.
Found this thread searching for a solution to same. This is not much help, but just confirming a similar experience. I installed TeamViewer Host on my new Fire HD 10 and it supports file transfer and screen sharing only. You can move a blue pointer around on the screen remotely (for example to point at things to help the person with the tablet), but you cannot actually click on things or take over and control the tablet remotely. I have not tried join.me but sounds like it has the same limitation. My HD 10 also has Google Play store, but no launcher hijack, and no root.
Incidentally, my rooted & ROMed Fire 7 does support full TeamViewer Host functionality with remote control.

That's a bit odd actually. I would've expected the Fire 7 NOT to have the memory to support it. Team Viewer is great if you get it all working, which can be very complicated. At least I know I'm not the only one who had trouble in my HD 8. And I never seen this thread.
Look st scrcpy...just managed to get working on my HD 10 using scrcpy -b2M -m1024... Had issues with no parameters specified

Is your HD 10 rooted?
