Was a little bored and thought I'd Remote my Win7 Netbook with the Xperia.
Had a laugh at the expense of some of my fellow Engineers/Computer Scientists.
Some figured it instantly, some had no clue, believes it really was running Win7, some thought it was themes etc of course, and came up with smart arse ideas of what it _must_ be
Bit I found the funniest is that the damn Xperia actually has a higher resolution that the netbook I was remoting with it.
Yes, that's really how big the damned Windows Live messenger is on my laptop(netbooks) 10" screen.
Yes, I photoshop on it, although I use a mouse that's worth more than the netbook itself (touchpads too cramped)
Yes, it's running Win7 and WinXP perfectly. (Infact it's also running Mac OSX 10.5.6 and Fedora 10 also, but those two partitions aren't shown in Win7.
nice ... but things will be tiny and even using the stylus will be tricky...
I tried several RDP progs... there is also a nice one with zoom ability found here in the forums called gamma.. but it requires a server/client files and not the windows RDP.
Good to know its working on win 7

The damn thing looks better on my Xperia than it does on the laptop itself. I just wish I could get WOL-over the internet working on my desktop at home so I could remote to it from work, but I just can't get the system to wake on the magic packets. Then I could do what i need to and then put it back to sleep.
which remote desktop software do u use?
Same question here, so far I found crappy RDP programs that don't allow me to type anything or have numlock always on.
Lol

Yep, standard RDP program, it works fine for me and I can type etc. What's the problem?
I have no idea!
I use the software with the original name 'Remote Desktop' (the flatscreen-with-satellite-dish-icon) right now. It does not allow me to type anything as soon as the connection is made. The soft keyboard as well as the fixed keyboard don't work.
The version I had before this (same software differrent version?) did allow me to type but always had the numlock on, without the option to turn it off.
There must me a right version out there

Ah yes! Those are the answers I'm looking for. Come on...
Does anybody have a link where you got the software you're using? I have the feeling there are several different versions out there...

I hope that wasn't sarcasm. Because although I keep an archive of all cabs I install, I can sometimes get forgetful about where I keep them.....
ofcourse forgot the smiley. sorry...
I'm really not sure what kind of software it is since it used to come with WM5. There are no commercial solutions that work with Microsoft RDP are there?
Good.

Well the one I'm using is connecting straight to Windows 7, I didnt install any sort of server, so yes, it connects to Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Apology accepted, my memory is suddenly becoming more clear
Here you go, enjoy.
i use a different program, but im guessing its all the same program with different names and sizes, if anyone has a problem with any of the other cabs and wants to give the one im using a try, just gimme a shout(i dnt wanna post anything on here b4 i get the boot..lol, i believe the program is free though)
i basically work from my phone nowadays by the way...
The version from alias_neo is working much better! I am able to use correct keyboard functions. Thanks for that, I'm glad you have such flexible memory
Lakeside00, what kind of rdp tool are you using?

Yep, I'm on a router, but I had the relevent port forwarded through it. I have no way to send the WOL packets from my routers remote administration page.... as far as I know.

Hi guys
i'm really thrilled about the android developments for the hd2, but have waited a while until it had been properly tried and tested and a stable build was made...
Really would like to install the NAND android But..........
I have an apple Mac!!!
please help....
Darren
Sell it and buy a pc
Use VMWare or use BootCamp!

hopefully you have an intel mac, your only option is to use bootcamp. VMware or parallels will not work. There's no mac software for flashing
Meh, forget it.
Get the 3 sets of files you need, copy to a USB key, then borrow someone's Windows 7 PC, or go to library, Kinko's, etc and perform the work there. With the right files etc, the flashing process only takes about 10 mins max.
oh and make sure you have activsync installed. need that to ensure the drivers/connection is made
your only solution is to buy an iphone 4
lol i kid i kid.... I think you can use virtual box or something like that to use windows programs or just go to a friend house with a pc
my gosh... i didn't realise that none of this is possible on a mac.... that makes me sad...
i'm afraid my mac is rather old... but still working perfectly...
it's an imac 1.25 ghz PowerPC G4

yea you'll have to use someone elses windows machine...it doesn't take long at all just download the files you need
can i not just install the .exe file directly on my phone and open it up on the phone itself???
and i got something called " a solution " which is
1- Install bootcamp if you dont know how-to forget the whole thing
2- Buy a PC YOU WONT REGRET IT
3- Dah ... this is xda = Wm (windows) + Android (linux) no iphone so no mac sell your mac
no way respectively (regarding imac)

No, if it was that easy don't you think we all would be doing it that way? Do you not know anyone with a PC? I think it's your only option as far as I know.
hmmmmm i work in the grpahic design industry! we all use macs....
i'll have to go to a cyber cafe somewhere.....
so first i got the do the HardSPL thing and the Radio thing before i can do the MAGLDR thing and NAND thing....
wow..... i need more than 10 mins to do all that....
You NEED to use Bootcamp. I use my Macbook pro for all of this flashing I do. All through bootcamp.
If you try and install HSPL with VMWARE you will most likely brick your phone. USB connection will be terminated when the phone changes state using VMWARE.
Go to a friend, install clockwork recovery there and then you'll never need a pc again
you can flash through recovery as soon as you have installed it.

This one. Probably 90% of the design industry use Macs.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
A VM with direct USB access could work, but I don't know if there is even one available on Mac and if the Mac CPU's support it (you need a pretty new CPU with Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi) and a supporting hypervisor like KVM or Xen (on Linux) or VMWare ESXi4 or higher. Maybe VMware Fusion for Mac supports it too, they do a pretty good job of Video card passtrough but I don't know about USB.
But my point is: it might be possible, but why even bother? Just get access to a Windows PC or install boot camp (if you have an Intel Mac).
You can't complain now: when you bought you're HD2 you know that WinMo isn't really designed to work with Mac (you use iSync right? It isn't even developed by MS) and it never has been common to flash from Mac (I don't even know if it is possible)
I am getting a new android phone (I have my reasons, don't flame me please) and I'd like to use my micro sd card on it. I have been getting mixed reports on whether or not I can reformat this thing. Some say you need a symbian phone, others say there are tools that you can use on windows to do it, but I haven't had any success nor do I have access to a symbian device. Any help?

Some of the latest Symbian phones will do the formatting fine (ie Nokia E7x, E5x, Nxxx etc)

So a symbian phone is the only option? There has to be a good pc utility that will do it too.

That's your best solution. The tools solution depends on the OS you have, but no one so far failed with Symbian

Can you recommend a tool? I have access to os x, windows 7 and linux, so that isn't an issue.
Try formatting with computer. I did it with my Vista machine but those were only 4GB cards I was doing it with. And hey... try it with the Android.. you never know !

I wish you luck. I've tried the tools, Android, Windows 7 64 bit, Vista 32 bit, Linux & cameras nothing works for me. I haven't been able to get my hands on a Symbian phone.

What did you use to format? Windows 7 (the partition manager) and gparted won't even recognize it.
Search rulez.

Try this:

And leave connect as media device ticked.

that too....but I find it much easier to use file transfer...
I have no Mac computer so I cannot validate if it's true, but that seems to be a standalone app which does not integrate seamlessly and transparently into Finder.
As such other apps do not understand how to use it as a real mass-storage device, making it impossible to provide the usual conveniance.
Furthermore it requires a dedicated app on the computer which might not be possible on work- or shared computers.
Cheeky! I did do a search and couldn't see anything.
Yes, filetransfer works a treat. But it has to be in Camera (PTP) mode not MTP.
It's really fast too.

I'm not sure do you mean PC emulator for your phone or remote PC? If you want emulate PC with your android, at least there is two options (I haven't tested those):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motioncoding.emulator
Limbo PC emulator (removed from play store)
I hope you got answered.
