Hi guys,
Could you recommend me a tool that would allow me to connect remotely to a pc?
I am interested in ease of usage, since DHD has no physical keyboard. Not much writing to do, just need to start some apps and check some logs once in a while.
Preferably it should connect using remote connection capability included in Win7, but if there are other tools that are better plese let me know.

Try TeamViewer from http://www.teamviewer.com/. You'll have to have both one version installed on your computer, and the mobile app on your phone.
teamviewer works really great
i often use it for pc-pc connection..but android-pc is also damn nice

I was looking to get a app that I can control my laptop through the internet, anyone have any experience with these apps, ive only seen a few out there. I want to use dropbox with it too so i can just store, send, receive files from my laptop to my phone whenever.
Gmote works great... flakey on 64bit win7 but does the best of them all.

I think he's looking for a remote desktop like app, and not a remote. I myself would also like to know if anyone has any opinions on a good remote desktop app.
PhoneMyPC isn't cheap, but well worth the mullah. I mostly use it to control my mouse when streaming netflix, but features are robust.
Wyse PocketCloud - Free on the Market.
You'll also need to download a client for your PC. Uses your gmail l/p to remote into your box.

Anyone know of one that works with Ubuntu?
I also use phoneMyPC. It's a wonderful app. Well worth the money. Especially with a hardware keyboard. If you have 2 monitors, you can have the app bring up the monitor you wish to view. You can bring up a cursor on your screen which can be used to drag and drop files too.
I could not live without this app.

I use this as an RDP client to get into terminal services at work. Works really well.
I've tried most of them out there and have settled on PhoneMyPC. I find the interface the cleanest, especially if you are accessing a computer with more than one monitor (I use on one with 3).
Logme in ignition I can do it all as if I were literally using another computer to do the remote session.

+1 on Android VNC, and Gmote to just remotely control the mouse and keyboard, there both perfect....but thanks guys for PhoneMyPC and PocketCloud, will def check em out too!
Can these remote apps somehow be configured (i don't see how they could be) to wake up a sleeping computer? I am a firefighter so I am gone for twenty four hours and remote access would be really useful...

+1 for LogMeIn Ignition. Use it all the time.
I've used phone my pc and wyse pocket cloud. They both have their pluses but I would say pocket cloud edges out phone my pc for better functionality. Although if you don't have ultimate or enterprise versions of windows you're pretty much stuck using phone my pc...
Has anyone developed an app that records everything that's happening on my screen? I have seen videos on youtubes of people showing off their phones and it looks like someone is recording just what's happening on the screen, not the phone it self. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

It's done with ShootMe (root required).
Not to bash the app but shootme just takes screenshots at max 10 per second to make it a video. It doesn't work for what I'm trying to show.
Is there any app that can capture the device at at least 20-30FPS?

This isn't exactly what you are after. but it might help you
You can install a VNC server on your phone from
the market and install some type of VNC viewer on your PC ,by doing that,
you can stream your phones screen to your PC and record it as a video
on your pc.

It is actually very straight forward to setup.
All you need to do is :
Download and install droid VNC server on your phone from the market (free or paid)
and download a vnc client on your pc , if you are using Linux you can install
"gtk vnc viewer" or any other one ,they are many available. or if you are using
windows, download TightVNC from download.com (cnet) and install it on your pc
on your phone, open up the app and and press start server it will give you some sort of ip address ,
from your pc open the viewer (TightVNC is both viewer and server) type the address and hit connect.
and thats all there is to it . Obviously both your pc and your phone should be connected to a wireless network.

An app to record what's happening on my screen
For me that VNC app was terribly slow. Wouldnt be useful for recording your screen.
It also depend on the client you are using on your pc
And your network speed too.
But yeah the video is not going to be as smooth as recording your desktop. Its basically like using remote desktop.
You can also do it the otherway around so you can control your pc from your phone.

Any update at all on this? Any new apps around that do it properly?

Works perfectly for me, note you must have the android SDK installed, and point the program to it on first run.
Use ShootMe and at the top were it shows 'A heartbeat monitor thing' click that and click screencast. This will allow you to make videos of whats going on on your screen.. +Rep if I helped.

I had no idea ShootMe had a screencast option and I've been using it for over a year. Thanks so much. I've been using the android sdk and a program called [email protected], but ShootMe is a bit easier.

Its not that simple. Just the same as x64 drivers not working on x86.
Drivers would need to be complied for arm but i don't think your going to find many sources to build from

This is not printing from your android. It's a poor attempt at a bodge. Basically the software runs on your PC. When you want to print something it sends it to your PC then your pc prints it.
If your PC is off then it won't work.
The reason they have implemented it this way is because it is nearly impossible to send a print job directly from android

Print using Menu "Print"
Has anyone ever used the 'Print" feature from the menu?
I have never been able to get my phone to find my printer.
I "add printer" type in the IP address that shows from my WiFi connection to my desktop PC but it says "Unable to find printer"
Any ideas?

Hey,
I was looking for a way to print from my phone (HTC DROID DNA) via OTG just to test a printer that I had.
I found an app on the Play Store that allowed me to print a test page. It's called PrintHand and it worked like a charm! It automatically recognized my printer and asked me if I wanted to download the proper driver, which it did pretty quickly.
However, you have to pay US$ 12.95 via in-app purchase or PayPal payment for an upgrade in order to be able to print your documents. Before that it only lets you set everything up and print test pages to see if it works.
I hope this can help somebody.
USB with HTC One M8?
Is there a way to use the usb with my phone? I have tried with a usb extension but doesn't print. Any info???

Grab this app today while its free. I just installed it and tested it over RDP to my Win7 desktop and works great. Because it supports RDP you don't need to install any additional apps on your PC, just put in the IP address and connect.
Great app wish i hadn't purchased it already. Get this one if you don't have it.

I am looking around but could not find the right answer. I want to miracast or streaming screen cast on a pc and projector for delivering lecture preferably wireless.
I tried [email protected], screencast etc, they need usb connection and ADB. But ADB couldn't detect my note 510 device while it is working for other Android device.
Kindly suggest me any sw that can allow miracast on Windows 7 pc. Or any other good option.
Thanking everyone for your help in anticipation.
