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!

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.

Windows Remote User?

Ok i have tinkered with it, but have not been able to get the Windows Remote To connect to my home pc, im at a loss and any help?
What i would like to do is be able to use my Excal via bluetooth or via wireless to connect to my pc and basically use it as a remote keyboard/mouse to run stuff..
I would prefer something free, or if you do know a program that has a trial and works as a trial that would be much appreciated.
Basically if anyone is smart enough to write a program, i want to use via bluetooth, the center button as a left click and the arrows around to move the mouse as a basic operation. Maybe add in a key to access the windows key, so i can activate windows media player and navigate it.
I am on windows 7x64 if that matters.

Connect to a Wi-Fi network or connect your phone to your PC to complete the download

Anyone have any experience with this?
From what I've read, if an app is over 20mb it will not download using the cellular data service and instead insist you use wifi, or plug in to the PC.
But what do you do when you do not have WiFi available? It says 'Connect to a Wi-Fi network or connect your phone to your PC to complete the download' - but it does nothing when it's plugged in to the computer. Can leave it plugged in to the PC, with it synced to Zune (or not) for 30 minutes and nothing happens to the download, even if it's initiated in Zune.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there something I'm supposed to tell it to do when it's plugged in to the PC? When it's synced with Zune you can't access the marketplace on the phone, and there's no 'Download Status' in Zune. As far as I can tell, Zune's not trying to download the app.
Basically, I'm trying to use option B - 'or connect to a PC', as there is no Wi-Fi network at my home or for miles. I'm aware of the bug where you can start it on Wi-Fi and let if finish using cellular data, but I shouldn't have to drive 20 minutes to Starbucks every time I want to download a larger app when the error message even indicates there's another option.
Any Zune / WP7 gurus here that can help with this? I'm an Android guy and a little lost when it comes to Zune/WP7, it's my gf's phone

I think you just have to go to the item, long press to get to the context menu, and then hit retry. I don't think it automatically attempts again once the network connection changes.

Done that. With these large apps (over 20mb) it repeatedly does the same thing. It's got 3g the whole time - it just refuses to use it to download it using 3g. It will say pending for a moment when you hit retry, and then give that error until you connect it to WiFi, at which point you can retry and it will download. So far the only way I've successfully downloaded apps of this type (monopoly, need for speed, etc) is using a wi-fi connection at a public location.
I'm trying to figure out how to do it the other way the error message claims is possible - connecting it to a PC.

Yeah, I just spent some time trying it out with my wifi off. Doesn't seem to be cooperating...
May want to try the Windows Phone support Twitter tomorrow: http://twitter.com/#!/winphonesupport
There has to be a way, it would be pretty damn ridiculous if it actually required wifi.

Tweeted it just now w/ a link to this thread. But I'm not a twitter guy, I have an account, not really sure how it works and don't ever log in to it. So we'll see where that leads me.

If you dont hear anything from them, may want to try tomorrow during business hours.

You should be able to go into the marketplace via Zune and click on the app. Click to install and then it will instruct you to connect your device. It should download and install to the device. Give it ample time to do so as it's not immediate, of course.

At this time, Wifi is required to download apps bigger than 20MB.

I could never ever get an app to update via synching with the Zune software after many tries. I just had to do the download over Wifi.

What I got from my conversation from @WinPhoneSupport is that if you start the download on the phone (not through the Zune software on your computer), you MUST complete it using WiFi, even though the error message says 'or connect it to a PC'. They somewhat hinted that it's possible to download an app through the zune software on the PC, didn't really go into too much on that side of things, but also confirmed that there's no way to check the status of a download in the Zune software. Sooo, you're supposed to just plug in the phone, and blindly guess when the download is complete, and if you're wrong, you've got to go find a Wi-Fi network.

One thing you could try... no promises... but (at least on Zune HD) when you connect the device to your PC via a USB cable (but close the Zune software) the device will get an Internet connection from the PC. This is done via some USB standard whose name I can't remember. It only works if the Zune software is closed.
This might work on WP7 and give you phone an Internet connection via USB. You could then go to the downloads list on your phone, tap and hold on the download that's frozen, cancel it. And then search it again and try to download.

I tried that but when I closed Zune it started looking for drivers and couldn't find any. No clue where to download them. Windows 7 32bit.

With your phone connected to your PC, search for the app thru the Zune marketplace (on the PC). When you download it with the PC, it will go straight to your phone.

Tried that as well but since theres no download status theres no way to tell when the app Is finished/installed, no.way to tell how large the file is and if it is downloading at 2kbps or 250kbps,.so you've got to blindly guess when its done and lf youre wrong and disconnect it you've got to start all over.
Tried downloading the monopoly trial using that method on a pc w a 20mbps connection, no way to tell if it was even downloading, it just said it would appear on the phone shortly. After 20 min the phone was disconnected, checked the marketplace and monopoly was sitting there in downloads w the error message
