HSBC logon - virtual keyboard. Out of luck?

Does anyone here do their personal online banking via HSBC?
If so you probably have the same problem I do. They have a 2 password logon system that requires a typed password AND a password entered via a virtual keyboard that you need to enter with your mouse-pointer. I think it's a flash based keyboard. I've tried Opera and IE Mobile with flash-lite as well as the hacked "full" macromedia/adobe flash installed with SPhelper as the mouse emulator. So far no luck.
Is there a way around the problem?

Skyfire may be a possibility. I am reserved about doing anything with skyfire because of the security implications.

I just checked that out and it does look like it would work, however after reading the user agreement I don't think it would be wise to use Skyfire for anything remotely sensitive. I don't think I even want to log into my yahoo email with it considering they're monitoring and archiving everything you do through their server. It's a shame cuz it's really a great UI and it's very fast. Of course that's because it's not really "the web" - it's sort of like a live stream of the web from their server. It sort of feels like using remote desktop and controlling another computer's mouse pointer.
Great way to browse full page websites quickly though. (But banking appear's to be out of the question unless you're account has around 20 bucks or less in it )

Best Remote Desktop App?

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?

Logmein

Hi, I've used 'logmein' from my Touch HD in the past, to connect remotely to my PC, and all worked well. But now, although I can log in, as soon as I try to connect to the relevant PC, it 'seems' to try and connect, but then does nothing. This is whilst using Opera - but, when I use IE, it works OK - once I'd installed a cab to enable remote access.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might need to do to enable access via Opera?
Thanks.

I use it too. Presumably the cab for IE is some kind of plug in which doesn't work in Opera.
Just stick with IE. What's the problem anyway? Make logmein the home page in IE and all the work is done for you. If you run it full screen it doesn't matter which browser it runs in.

I've made it a favourite in IE - so it's not a major issue, I just find Opera a little more intuitive.
I was just wondering what might have caused it to suddenly stop working in Opera, when previously it worked?

LogMeIn has never worked in Opera for me... only PocketIE.
Tip: If you log in using your PC, go to 'Edit Computer' or something, then you can drag a desktop shortcut that links directly to your remote PC. Copy that shortcut to \Windows\StartMenu\ and you have a link that you can stick in the HTC Quick Launch. Takes you straight to your PC Credentials login screen...
The only problem is the shortcut icon appears as an IE page, not Logmein icon, if anyone knows how I can customise that it'd be much appreciated!

problem
Hi, I wanted to ask if you have similar problem as i do. I use ie and like above, after putting login and pass ie goes to blank page and nothing happens. do you have any idea what that may be? i use dutty ROM if its helpfull...
thanks

Same here mate. I was using the stock ROM and it was fine, but as soon as I upgraded to WM6.5, it stopped working. I guess it's the new version of IE that's incompatible. Maybe there's a way to downgrade IE to the previous version? I've only just thought of that, so I'm gonna see if you can do it now

Okay. For the guys who are having problems using Logmein with Opera, I'm sorry, but I've got no idea what that problem is.
For people like myself who have upgrade to WM6.5 and found the new version of IE does not work with Logmein, the only answer I've found is to downgrade IE to 6.1, which you can do from following this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1890124&postcount=2
Personally, I didn't really care for the newer version of IE (whatever version it was), so am more than happy to downgrade to get Logmein back again!
Yay!

Logmein Application
of course it would be nice if there was a free standing application to remote connect to a PC via logmein.com. Similar the the iPhone app they do....

thanks you guys! i downgraded ie and it finally worked.
of course stand alone version would be perfect, like youtube - it looks and works much better this way on our powerful handset (i tried youtube on skyfire - you know, what i mean..).
I'l watch this thread if something interesting happens
see you later, hermi

This works great to get me to my remote comp.
(downloaded the old IE)
But the keyboard does not work. ant ideas?.
well I loaded the keyboard cab for the TP and now I can input text, except I can not get Capitol letters to work.

Hi all,
After messing (a lot) with keyboards, cabs, RACrtlCEs (or something) and after reading lots and lots of posts, I finally concluded that:
1 - Logmein won't work on Opera (don't know if it's RACtrlCE.cab issue or other). But as my stock HD has PIE built-in, no prob there.
2 - Using PIE, the remote machines won't reply to default QWERTY's keyboard. But as my stock HD has the possibility to change to default WM keyboard, no prob there also.
(By using Logmein this way, most of you should have logged-in with no problems and without installing or changing anything in the HD)
Now... I'm stuck with:
I can see all my remote machines and access them, but the ones with special characters in the passwords, I won't get past the login screen (e.g. @).
Does anyone have any idea I might haven't tried?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bizao.

GoToMyPC not working with I.E. or Opera on Pro 2

Been using GoToMyPC with a xv6800 but now my Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 doesn't connect.
I am able to log on and view my list of computers, but when I try to connect I get this error message: 'gotomypc%2dstart[1]' is not a valid Pocket PC application.
I've tried both Internet Explorer and Opera.
I tried GoToMyPC tech support but they were no help. Infact even after they went to the HTC website for phone specs. they kept telling me I need and don't have a stylus. Very funny stuff! Too bad I love their program.
Any ideas?

LogMeIn and Remote Desktop work, and they're free!
-It might be something to do with the IE/PIE being picked up by their servers, use the toggle cab to try both and see if that helps

Thanks for the advice! I'll keep working on it.
I hate to pay for GoToMyPC but it works the best with a program I must use. It's super easy and fast to toggle back and forth between custome size views.
Plus it works great to play internet poker...

An older version of P.I.E. solved my problem

Which Remote Desktop for 101

Ive been browsing the market for a Remote Desktop for my Archos 101. There are so many to choose from that Im non the wiser.
Has anyone got any recommendations to help choose?

I have been using this one for a while now, i bought it on my Nexus one and now i use it on my Archos 101 as well.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/remote-rdp/org.toremote.serversmanager
You do need to change the resolution a bit, but the good thing is that you can change it just so the menu bar with home/back etc is not overlapping the remote desktop.
It works fine through Wireless Lan for me, never really tested it with 3G.
Been on the pricy side though..

Teamviewer works well and you dont need to open up ports on your firewall to use it. I use it to manage all my servers from the Archos as well as my media pc at home.

My favorite is the one made by Xtralogic. Very solid RDP client

That looks good. Currently in Beta I see. Do you have to load anything onto your PC in order to access it?

Yes.
I tried it a few weeks ago, but I find it much too slow, I am using vnc on my local network and logmein for when I am on the road. I still need to check out logmein on my 101. androidvnc on the 101 works nice and fast for being on an android platform.

Remote VNC Pro by Walter Yongtao Wang, in the market. I've used it for a while now on my tablet and phone with Real VNC on my PCs, mostly through SSH tunnels. Rock solid.
edit: I see that it's the same author as the RDP client recommended by Wiebbe above. Walter's got it together.

I just tried teamviewer. It was very simple to set up, but is a little slow. But considering its doing it over the web then its not bad at all.
Im going to try out the other recommendations too.
With the VNC apps, do I have to load someting on my PC too. I looked at the stuff by Walter but couldnt tell if I needed a PC app too.

Not sure why you guys are reporting it as being slow. I used VNC for years prior to Teamviewer...both RealVNC and UltraVNC. Teamviewer is about the same speed if not a little faster. It's not as fast as RDP, but it is a lot less of a hassle to setup.
You do know you can change the performance, right? Under options you can set remote control to optimize for speed and remove wallpapers.
There is also an unattended server program you load on the PC you want to control. Otherwise you have to load the main program and run it every time. I mean really it is like VNC without needing to do all the port forwarding and firewall crap on the back end.

Yes, you need a VNC server program. There are several to choose from and they are free. I have used RealVNC for years. VNC and RDP are both standard protocols.

remote desktop.apk maybe you need it...
