Ok FINE! After being ignored for two days, I thought I would help the New folks out here get this working!
I got it working and all is FINE! Here is what I did. I will not post links so I do not violate any sort of TOS in this site.
After I upgraded to the new ROM from HTC's site (the official ATT ROM not anything cooked) I upgraded my Activesync to 4.5 (must have this version)
Then I downloaded BBC Desktop 4.0.0.18 (google it)
Then I downloaded BBC for the PPC 4.0.0.91 (google it)
Install the Desktop stuff first then the one on the PPC. Once installed, REMOVE THE USB.
Once it is installed on the PPC, let it is come up on it's own. If it does not reboot it, go to Start -> Setting and click on the System tab. Click the BB icon. It will ask what services, select Cal for now. Click Next through until is restarts. It will then tell you that it is ready for first use. From there, you may need to reboot your device.
You should now have the BB icon in the bottom part of the Today screen. Click it. It will take you the BB settings sections. Let it spool and get a PIN. This may take several minutes. You will then notice it connects and gets an IP. You are almost home at this point. Once it says Connected in the Status tab you are good to connect it back to the USB cord.
For BES applications, make sure the computer you use for work is connected to your MS Server or network or whatever you do to ensure you are getting emails on your work computer. This will ensure your BB Desktop software can "see" your server. Once you know you have "LAN" connection, open the BBC Desktop software and let it find your device. Click on the "Configure Device" button on the bottom center of the BBC Desktop app and VIOLA!
I hope this helps!
I am not able to find BBC Desktop 4.0.0.18 version even after googling , just to make sure is it 4.0.0.18 or 4.0.0.84. Is this desktop component mandatory , can i skip it . I am new to all this. My company gave me a number to call to activate the service . It was a sort of *56436 ;just an example. But i cant call this number as i have AT&T service , it says check the number.May be this number is callabe from a blackberry device ? Please let me know if you are aware what setup they have.
I have At&T unlimited data plan . Do i need to switch to BIS plan from them .Is 3G internet available on BIS. My company asked me to add my company email (and provided me with a temporary password) and asked me to click on activate button . does this mean they have Black berry Enterprise server ?
The BB network is available on my phone but the PIN and IP are pending. Is this due to taht i dont have BIS enabled from them?
hey guys
it's a f***n' mess..
I just tried the RDProtocol to remotely control my laptop computer with my Touch HD - it doenst work. OK - don't hesitate - just try the alternatives. I did. LogMeIn. People around the web and this board mean, its quite easy to install.
So i installed the client for my laptop, registered with my offical mail account, rebooted my system and now?
First think - not TouchHD specific: My laptop pc is not shown on the list in my account management at logmein's webpage. Ok, perhaps i can handle it somewhen in the future.
The second thing is:
I visited "logmein.com/pda" with either Opera Mobile and PIE - nothing happens (because some people said, that there will appear a popup to install the mobile client)
However - i downloaded the client from someone in the board, installed it - but: I cannot found a program to start anywhere.
When i try to call the laptop and the listening LogMeIn-Server on port 2002 with my browser - nothing happens.
So... the only little thing i want is to remote my Laptop... but PITA - its not working. Can someone help, please?
thanks a lot for every hint!

Mate,...Logmein works fine with the native internet explorer on your device (press "start" tab and you can see the ie7 like logo on there and use that)... it does not work with Opera (didnt for me anyway).
The so called logmein client you refer to is no more than a plugin for internet explorer so if you have it instaled and using the internet explorer as i mentioned above you just got to the logmein home page and login and all will be clear to you
but i tried it with the native internet explorer (PIE - pocket iexp.)... ok, then i guess its a problem with my account, because i'm not able to add my laptop to the "computer list" at the logmein-webpage...
thanks anyway!
try logging into the webpage from the laptop itself
to add it (I think that's what i did)

It seems to work though I can't convince it to enter the password correctly when locked
But why doesnt RDP work for your laptop? Do you get any error messages? did you add a password to your account?
maybe it's easier to solve that problem instead of trying alternatives? i mean PIE is extremely slow..

also what Operating system is the laptop running ?
for example Vista home doesn't support incomming rdp without hacking
one of the vnc clones is a typical way around this.
and as Imperium said rdp won't work with accounts that have no password
and it has to be dumbed down for some rdp clients

I too had issues to start with, but a little playing around and it works fine. You have to use the "keyboard" input method, using small keys I find works fine. For me the " is mapped to shift 2 a quick think about that and I think logmein is using the local of the PC your controlling so in the UK shift 2 is ". BTW my regional settings are set to UK on the HD. Using the touch friendly keyboard (full qwerty) wouldn't work at all for me with the loginme control.
Hope that helps you!

I've never tried any remote desktop programs before, but I imagine they can be VERY useful to have on my HD. So I'm wondering, which is the best one, freeware preferred? I'd also be glad for tips for paid programs, in case I find the freeware solutions lacking.
Thank you very much.
Edit: Mixed up virtual desktops and remote desktops.
I'm not too sure what exactly you want, but http://www.mymobiler.com/ is free and give you control of the HD from the PC with a very pretty virtual screen of the HD.
I'm actually looking for a program that does the exact opposite of My Mobile - allowing me to control my desktop PC from my HD.
But thanks for posting that link, I'll take a look at that as well.
You can download Microsoft's Remote Desktop app. It works well on HD.
I totally mixed up remote a virtual desktops... Silly me.
Thanks for the tip.
I use logmein, choose the free version and your laughing! I quite often show up the iphone users by saying "hey, im controlling my mac, while being at work, on my HD
Why not just use the remote desktop app that comes pre-installed (at least it did on my stock and custom rom). Just set the colors to high, enable landscape on the HD, and your good to go! Works perfect for me.
I use .NET VNC Viewer on the PDA and RealVNC as the server portion on the PC. It works really well over a 3G connection, and bit slower on GPRS.
Please RDMPlus

it must be work ,just be shure to put the ip that cmd/ipconfig gives you,look that your internet security(firewall) dont blok your connection,try port 4230 if it dont work with 3230 on both machines (pc and hd),set password 1111 to try on both devices,dont forget to set the download folder in both devices,search in google for port forwarding on your router if you work with?
the first time i use it it was working,then i reflash and it was not working anymore!!!!i do need to reflash then it was working again????do you have flash/reflash the rom or another rom to try?
let me know because it must be work
succes
I have tried countless setting on both my mobile and my PC, still no luck with these suggested programs.
I'm no pc genius but i am pretty sure i have all the correct ports open on my firewall and router however i am not getting anywhere with this connection.
Can anyone please link me to a comprehensive guide on the issue?
Hey guys just had an idea for a wicked application for the HD (and desktop).
Would there be a way so that when you plug you phone into your computer you can send text messages from the computer (via your phone) to the person, as well as them coming up on your computer.. like an email.
Not sure im making it sound clear or not lol.
I don't have the knowledge to even debate whether it's plausable or not...
Any views on it?
Thanks, Tom.
lol...stuff like this already exists..at least I think it does...
eg: with SOTI pocket controller you can view your phones screen on PC monitor and control the whole phone (you can even go to your phone with the mouse cursor andcontrol your phone with the pc mouse -wicked)...but AFAIK it doesn't store messages on your computer...
were you searching for something like this?
YEAH THAT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD
oops caps sorry - working! lol
Check out MyMobiler - it's like SOTI but freeware! http://www.mymobiler.com/
That works a charm thank you so much!
or jeyo mobile
http://www.jeyo.com/companion.asp
...Its powerful threaded SMS chat mode enables you to communicate instantly with hundreds of millions of mobile phone users around the world using SMS directly from your PC,....
will that do ?
Yeah thats great. Althogh with My Mobiler it wont let me connect to my Orange Internet... any ideas of how to do that???
Thanks so far guys!
DROWNING in Google and forum search results here. Good search terms, links, 'app' names, welcome.
(Drowning because I catch hits where the android remote controls another device, such as a TV, or a PC - instead of the other way around.)
It's becoming increasingly difficult to remotely help friends that use Android - mostly because I can neither see nor control their screens.
What's the best way / apps to go about setting this up?
NOTES:
this is NOT android acting as a remote control.
this is NOT android remote controling a PC
this IS remote controlling the ANDROID.
I have remote access to their network, be it via ssh or vnc. (From a 'privacy' perspective, it's only sense to get to their network, then get to their Android - i.e. Access to their stuff is under their control.)
wi-fi is up and happy. As is USB, for that matter.
the remote phone is NOT rooted.
I've come across, but have no opinion on (your opinions welcome):
Remote Control Add-On - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xdevelop.rc&hl=en
Remote Web Desktop - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xdevelop.rm&feature=more_from_developer
AirDroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
TeamViewer QuickSupport - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.quicksupport.market.samsung / Needs pc side from www.teamviewer.com. (Note: Android might not be a Samsung. I thought I saw a non-Samsung remote control on their site, but now don't see it.)
Droid VNC server - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc
VMLite VNC Server - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en (Has a process for non-root access. Better than nothing, I suppose.)
Webkey - https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS53ZWJrZXkiXQ..
Thoughs / suggestions / terms / recommendations / experiences / etc.???
Thanks.
AirDroid suppose to be a good one, but didn't use it my self yet.

Remote Web Desktop looks like it has some interesting functionality, is pretty enough without being over the top (speaking as a guy who finds ssh, in colour, of course, adequately pretty), but is sufficiently broken to be not worth pursuing. Terminal isn't really there (e.g. su results in prompts of $ on one line, then # on next), web cam capture captures a still only, screen capture bears no resemblance / colour fix doesn't, ... uninstalled.
Companion or standalone Remote Control Add-On is through browser only, and at port 3389 of all things. [No RDP doesn't work, either.] Chrome / Opera / Firefox none works - says to install java, takes you to Oracle but not to what it wants. Not quite latest / greatest 6 installed beforehand and it still wants java installed. Not going back to 7, uninstalled that some while ago - will wait until it becomes real. App promises standard vnc connectivity at 5901 (why not 5900 I've no idea), but doesn't work. Netstat shows it isn't even listening.
Uninstalled ... next!

Webkey wouldn't stay up long enough for more than a few clicks in browser.
Service kept dying. Restart succeeded most of the time, but not always. Task manager exit and it came back up in those instances.
Uninstalled.
*Note to Selves: AdAway (can) run an internal web server (to catch / redirect web calls), and (by necessity) runs on standard ports, both www and https. So ... if you run another web catching app, it can't use those ports. [Not a problem for them to do so to date, but just so's you don't blame the app under test for not working when it's trying to listen on a port already taken by AdAway.]
- and you want to run the AdAway web server - better it give an immediate unreachable response than having to wait for the call(s) to time out.
Airdroid seems nice / capable enough, if a little 'fluffly.'
Separate ssh / samba / vnc apps seem a little simpler and cleaner - if more to configure.
Samba - 'Samba Filesharing' (edit smb.conf if you want root (as in /), although smb.conf now says modifications not supported.)
[If you modify / something breaks, go back to stock and see if it still breaks. Duh!]
VMLite VNC Server - not tried.
Pixel VNC Server Beta - sure is. Won't stay up. Connect attempt results in service failure [Error(3)] before first screen draw. (I see drawing initial screen message, then it drops.) Uninstalled. Looks to have the nicest / cleanest interface though. Just the facts / text, nothing goofy / fancy.
VNC server (wencent) and droid VNC server must use same code base - options/screens seem identical.
- both are slow (but better than nothing), both seem to take a number of restarts before picking up password / port changes, although the port it says it's at matches the port entered. e.g. it defaults to 5901, I changed to 5900, started, and it displayed 5900 but was actually listening on 5901. Note: Don't use special characters in password, such as '&' - plain text password storage in .xml file gets written wrong. Probably the cause of the startup / port / password misfires. YEP, I SAID *PLAIN* TEXT PASSWORD STORAGE. <sigh>
VNC server (wencent) blog page annoying, droid VNC 'nicer'. I noted to both to please put restart button on same page as on/off. No auto-rotate, so if you have to rotate (in settings), and since a restart is necessary to effect, a restart button would be useful.
droid VNC settings hint at (but broken / no worky / not what it is) at a reverse VNC connection. Which would be FANTASTIC! Your idiot friend out and about you can't get to, but he could call you at your known IP / forwarded listening port.
HTH.
Android control PC?
I have read the article http://flash-video-player.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-to-use-android-phone-to-remote.html and I just wonder if the apps here can support PC controlling Android phone.
I was looking for the same thing.. I have the Samsung Captivate and S3.
I tried the RemoteCall from Rsupport which I heard of them from Mobizen (same company). No rooting and standard ports (can't see it happening on a 8888..). It can control and gives you all the info.
One thing is that they charge 1600 for a year.. waaay too expensive for me.. they said discount is available for more than 1 license, but I guess that will apply to businesses.. not for individuals.. I will say Mobizen is so far the solution for me.
Installed VMLite VNC Server. Works great on my not-rooted phone. I had to install libncurses5:i386 on my amd64 ubuntu to work with adb. It would be better if I could change the resolution of the phone's image. Should be cheaper.
Thanks, i am using webkey. it's a very nice app. :good:
team viewer versus airdroid
Hello everyone. Sorry mi english is not very good
I am doing proyect that I have to install a device ( samsung s4 ) 5km away from home and run an app on it to trigger a foto camera.
Team viewer do that but you have to be in the device to accept the conexion remote, so is no suitable for me at this point. Airdroid dont ask for permision to conect to the device , which is excelent , but I can not run an app inside the device in remote, so is no ok for me at this point.
The question is : how can I open an app to control the camera from the device in remote whith out me beside to the device?? Is there an app to do that??
How can I avoid in team viewer to ask permision to acces to the device??
Is posible to do something about it ??
I am not talking about the camera in the device , I am talking about a camera which is conected to my device by a cable at the same time and trigger and control the camera setings from km´s away via Lan conection 3g.
Thank you all
Marcos

if you have the same problem like me with the droid vnc server (connect but can't control it) the droid vnc server will help to conect to teamviewer quicksupport without someone to accept you. the video i make will show you how.
i cant add link so you have to find it by searching in youtube: connect to teamviewer quicksupport using droid vnc server to get access
Be careful with webkey, it send personal data...
I have tested 'Droid VNC server' and it requires root. I couldn't use it without that.
I have a FREE complicated solution without root.
Screen output:
while sleep .01 ; do convert -depth 8 -size 1280x1280 rgba:/dev/graphics/fb0'[0]' -rotate 90 -crop 1280x720+0+0 bmp:/scard/b.bmp ; mv /scard/b.bmp /sdcard/c.bmp ; echo -n . ; done
It works for my padfone 2, without padfone station. On any linux, you can sshfs your phone, and access /sdcard/c.bmp that way.
It should be run as the user adb, use adb shell from a PC connected by USB to access it, then adb forward to access to the sshd running on the phone.
If you want this to continue after disconnection, you should run tmux first.
I uploaded working binaries for bash, convert, scp and sshd on gentooandroid.sf.net ; tested on Android 4.1 and Android 4.4.
The difficult part on secured Android 4.4 is to find a place not mounted noexec where to put the binaries.
Mouse click on pixel position 300 300:

Anyone trying to automate this (with "Automate" from google play) or connect that to a VNC server, please report progress !
thx so much for that thread, i spend hours googling this.
i am actually trying webkey.
what i want to do primarily is control volume on android, as my device acts as a webradio (connected to the stereo via headphone jack).
I use droid vnc to start up "tunein radio" . that works fine. BUT it is way to slow to adjust volume, PLUS there are no keys to adjust volume, so i have to go to a quicksetting - volume - and adjust via mous. btw it only takes keyboard inputs if they are followed by a left-mouse-click... alt-d and alt-u dont work.
i also tried a ssh server on android and control volume via
"input keyevent 24"
and
"input keyevent 25"
which workes for a while, but then has no effect any more
vnc connection is crap, as my phone is an old samsung s2 - to slow.
acutally i am looking for the uri to send to the webkey server to adjust volume, so i wouldnt have to go over the website any more. - seems its websocket calls, so i will have to make some python implementation, as i dont know jscript.
-- btw, you can send volume event over ssh like this, but i dont know why it takes seconds for the device to react:
on the console:
input keyevent 24
input keyevent 25
Use automate to change volume
Automate from Google play can change the volume according to a change of file in a clould (or any other method you like).
Minimal asking of permission, this is a good thing.
Beware, Automate is free only for up to 30 "lines" of program, but just changing the volume is like 10 "lines" of program only.
