Hi all,
I wanted to remotely connect to my android device from my laptop, but unfortunately i am not able to get it working! I tried to install Droid VNC server on my mobile, but while connecting to it from laptop, it force closes!
After that i tried using Androidscreeencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/, which is a desktop app to control android device remotely, but even that shows some error while connecting
If anyone was able to connect remotely to their android device, please share it with me.

You can always try ADB Maskcontroller
there you have an option to connect your android device remotely and you can fully control your device
Or try android webkey: it allows you to control your phone with your browser!

I just tried it and it doesn't work but don't know why
I've got Droid VNC Server up and running on my Nexus 7 but when I open a RealVNC viewer from a Windows 7 PC I get a scrambled display. I've tried all of the display settings on the VNC Server on the Nexus but none seem to work.
Has anyone managed to get this working on the Nexus?
I think this indicates a bug getting the screenshot, it's most likely the pixel buffer length is different from the display width.
I will send you a private message for another app that works.

As far as I know, only our app, VMLite VNC Server, supports Android 4.2 at this point, you can try it, but it's not free, available from google store.

Not working on the Nexus 7 - both server and VNC viewer client hang.
can you email? We have many users using Nexus 7 and works well, so I will work with you to make sure it works, might be some configuration issue.

+1 to this, I've tried just about every VNC server app out there and none have worked so far on the N7 running 4.2. Really would like the ability to have control from the PC. I always have my phone up on the desktop when using it. So much easier than having to look at it to answer messages.
Did you try our paid app, vmlite vnc server? People are using it on N7 with Android 4.2, works very well and we tested it on daily basis.

The need to hook up the tablet to a PC with a USB cable after every reboot to restart the server means this isn't a great solution even if it can be made to work on the Nexus 7.

I noticed it but as the above user stated. It's too inconvenient having to connect to a pc to start it. Defeats the whole point of having it. Can easily mirror the device when it's tethered to the PC. If just like standard VNC server to work with 4.2 as it used to.
You have to root the device if you don't want to hook USB cable to pc to start it, then you can just press start/stop button. For non rooted device, you hook the phone to the pc, press a button to start the server, then disconnect the phone from the pc. You can remote to the phone afterwards as long as you don't power it off. In other words, once server started, no need at all to connect the phone to the pc.
My phone is not rooted, and seldom powers off, so I do this perhaps once a month, then you disconnect the phone from pc, which is not bad at all, just like a user would use USB cable to do data transfer. I don't know why it defeats the purpose, a few thousands of users are happy with it.

I can confirm that my machine is rooted but this didn't work as you described when I tried it. Neither the PC nor the button on the Nexus screen would start the server. Only had 15 mins to try it before getting a refund but it certainly wasn't plug-and-play
Thanks, that must be a bug, no wonder you mentioned a hang on device, if we found su binary, it will wait for 30secs to try the root way of starting the server, but somehow didn't work out on your device. What method did you use to root your device?
If you email to me, will try to send you debug version to test.
Which version of our app did you try? anything before v1.1.6 may have more issues on this.

I also tried and is the same as all other vnc servers, just won't work. I am also rooted, the devices i use and ROMs are in my signature.
That's interesting and weird, seems Nexus 7/10 (Android 4.2) differs from person to person? We do have other customers successfully run our app on 4.2. I can debug with you if you like to.

Trying to run on a galaxy s3 clone, seems quite good compared to the other free VNC server, all but 1 just didn't work.
Have problems with keyboard, nothing sent from buffer until leftmouse clicked
any suggestions?
occasionally get message saying server stopped, but it's still running
seems to disable softkeyboard on android device, any option to prevent this
F4 can cause rotation - stop server OR crunch
VNC on Nexus 7
Hi,
I have been trying to use Fast Droid and Droid VNC on Nexus 7 but it always results in a scrambled image on a VNC viewer. I have tried various viewers, both on a Windows and Linux PC. Did anyone got the VNC working on Nexus 7?
Interestingly when I use "adb screenshot" command on my Nexus 7, I get the same scrambled image as what I see on the VNC viewer.
I got scramble image too ..
anyone have the solution ?
thx :good:
No VNC servers work
droid VNC Server
Pixel Beta
VNC_server
VNC Server Ultimate
None of these work with my rooted VZW SGS3.
Tough to believe that there is no working VNC server.
Is there anyway to get your android screen to come up on your pc and remotely run apps on your pc. Plus control the pc itself like remote desktop.

Not sure about running the screen on the pc, but I use Pocketcloud for remote desktop. Hope this helps.
I'm not sure what you're looking for, but you could just run apps on your PC using BlueStacks.
OTOH, I have an app on my Nook Touch that can be controlled from my Kyocera Rise or my PC.

what is the name of the app?
I am using bluestack for a while, problem is that u can´t use google play at all. so u have download the apps on your phone and then copy to the pc.
Bluestacks is not as fast as your phone.
You must be facing low performance in it...
Even if you have a gaming ATi or Nvidia card

Really the best and easiest way to do that without emulation is to get a mhl cable assuming your device supports it. Then you'll have a mirrored connection on your pc monitor or TV if you want and can use it like your phone.

As far as I've seen on SockteQ's page and product brochure, it is targeted to tablets, and not for trivial smartphones (i.e. gives a view of an Android tablet screen in the prog window). Their efforts are great, but there's no clue for the trivial handsets user.
Tjek this out. I found it in Note 10.1 General section. It is working perfekt on Note 2

Maybe with one of the ROM that have tablet mode it will work.
Edit: You can control your PC from NOTE II with Splashtop Streamer but not the opposite.
It's working for me with sungsonic hd v2.

Splashtop doesn't allow running apps. Do you know other remote control app that allow running the phone apps within the remote session?

Splashtop is to control your PC from your phone. When you connect to your PC via Splashtop your phone become Windows XX and you can fully use your Windows/MAC/Linux from your phone even if you're not at home as it use the internet to connect. You can even set Splashtop as a second monitor and use it as an extended desktop. Pretty useful if you have a tablet.
Mobizen control your PHONE from pc.
To my knowledge only Mobizen can control phone app from remote.

I use TeamViewer - it's free (if you're not a corporation) and it's really easy to set up. I tell all my family to install it so I can fix their problems remotely. But yeah, it should do whatever you want.
I use Logmein app, I can even listen to my music that's on my pc on my Note 3

Team-Viewer since years
AFreeRDP and AndroidVNC, Windows has remote desktop built in so the other paid apps seem a bit of a kludge to do something Windows already provisions for. I run an OpenVPN server on my router that bridges my phone onto my LAN from public WiFi or 4G. Most of the time my computers are running Linux and for that I use terminal emulator with ssh or AFreeRDP+xrdp or AndroidVNC...Linux (Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 in my case) has a lot of nice remote access solutions available and they work well. All free and open source too.

Teamviewer is the free alternative, LogMeIn has been great so far too however I would also look at Splashtop...It has alot of claims but Ive found it to be slightly laggier then Logmein or Teamviewer.
