LogMeIn - doesnt work, dont know if T-HD specific problem?

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

logmein
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!

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.

Using your HD as a Webcam!!!

You can use your Touch HD (and any other winmo phone) as a webcam with microphone!!!!
through activesync you can get about 7fps and the vid lags a bit, but if you dont have a webcam and a microphone then it will do!!!!
http://www.brothersoft.com/webcamera-plus-87319.html
install on PC & phone - connect phone through activesync - launch client on PC - and it launches automatically on phone!!!!
its a trial version, and you have to restart the app on phone after few minutes, if you want a full version of it, use www.google.com

Is there some special trick to get this to work?
The PC recognises Webcamera plus as a webcam, and the program fires up on my phone when I try to use it, but I cant get the picture to show up on my PC.
Ofc I'm using WM 6.5 and Windows 7 RC1 on the computer so might be that it simply wont work but it would be really cool if it would
Edit: Never mind, I got it to work. The trick was to go into Tools - Settings in the program on the PC and hit connect, seems like it won't auto connect properly.

when the program opens on Touch HD- in left bottom corner - it shows stop (means that its sending video to PC through activesync)!!!! you should see the video in wbcameraplus program on PC!!!! -- im on WM6.1 and WinXP
check if you have equal ports in webcameraplus->settings on PC and PPC.
I also had some problems when launching the program but I got it to work, dont remember how, cuz I have all the big exams at school now and my head is full with them!!!

Great, will try it later !

I remember trying Mobiola Web Camera 3 , which I thought was better and it also supports wifi connection...

VNC for Android

not sure if anyone needs this, but i sure use it everyday for work.
so here's the link in case you need it
http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/
it's compatible with UltraVNC (http://www.uvnc.com/download/), it sure beats Windows Remote Desktop (Therminal Services) and it's more secure too
Apple Mac OS X 10.4 and newer already comes build in with the VNC server.

N1ce will try this out later

Nice!!! VNC finally on Android... I was using RemoteDesktop before this... It's ok... but VNC is VNC!!!

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble getting Android VNC working on my I9000. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and I can connect to it fine. When I try to control the desktop from my phone I can see the response on my pc screen but not on my phone. Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks

Maybe Galaxy S does not have that much processing power? :S
Not sure...

i doubt that as i have no problem.
check your internet connection.
if you are running torrents, turn it off

My internet connection is fine, I'm not having any problems connecting to websites on either my computer or phone. I'm not running any torrents either....

I use ultraVNC with MRSCplugin encryption on my desktop pcs, does anyone know if there is a client that can handle this as I don't think this one does?

AFAIK i don't think the current releases supports encryption yet

I use TightVNC on Vista; and this app works amazingly awesome!.
I get a few laughs now and then scaring people controlling pc remotely.. LOL

really works like a charm, use this as remote for my pc when watching movies in bed lol also secretly installed on my little brothers pc and he is running scared xD

Anyone figured out the easiest way to double click without it coming out as a right click?

I usually use the WYSE software for this, seemed to work much better when I was on a Milestone.

Remember , Zodttd is working on VNC for android!

I tried VNC but LogMeIn is A LOT better.

I use RealVNC on the PC Win7 and "Remote VNC Ad" on my Samsung Galaxy S i9000

I am using UltraVNC on all my servers, androidVNC works just fine with it. When on slow connections, I just only pull 8 or 64-colors to lighten it up a bit.

Does vnc support sound on android yet? If not then rdp is still better

It's a Ubuntu vino server and Nvidia problem. You should disable visual effects (compiz), set it to none and you will have a working VNC server!

why would you want sound to be transferred ?
it's a waste of bandwidth
it's horrible when you are stuck in an area with only EDGE coverage, say you are driving between 2 towns, you get a call
it's an emergency, and you need to pull over to remote into the server to fix whatever it is

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...
