Hey guys.
Just got my GNex last week, and remote desktop is a huge thing for me.
I came over from TMobile/Samung Vibrant. I never had an issues connecting to my PC via my phone over remote desktop on 3g. My program of choice was pocketcloud.
Since I got my GNex (Sprint), I have no longer been able to do this. At first I thought it may be the rom (AOKP M6), but then I discovered that I ws able to connec over WiFi, which unfortunately is no help to me. I've tried PocketCloud and Slashtop, two of the most popular clients, and neither will connect.
I'm from Boston, and I'm wondering if maybe the 3g service in my area just can't hack remote desktop.
Does anyone have any other thoughts as to why I may have this problem? I'm very experienced with Android's operating system and onboard issues/mods/hacks, but not so much when it comes to network/internet issues and how that stuff works.
thanks ahead!
Router setup. Maybe the port you are trying to connect to gets blocked in your router?
Check which port number you connected with on your other phone.

It could be possible that sprint would block certain ports to dial out on but I don't know for sure. It definitely sounds like a carrier issue and not a device problem. Call them up and see what they say.

would tweaking the DNS settings affect something like this? are there alternate DNS settings?
Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same problem as you.
I have a GSM GNex from Google.

I am having a very annoying issue with my Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to my PC, it recognizes the device, however, constantly connects and disconnects. The USB cord is not moving. My other USB devices connect and stay connected (hard drives, mouse, printer, droid). I found this post attached, however, therre is no PhoneUtil code for the Galaxy Nexus.
Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?

Have you tried another usb cable?
yes. same thing happened.
I have the same issue on 2 separate Galaxy Nexus phones now. no solution yet. I am on the phone with Samsung to see what they can do.
thanks for the reply. please keep me posted. i havent resolved my issue yet.
I've tried changing it from MTP to PTP and turning after switching between the two. I've tried two different roms, one based on 4.0.4 and 4.0.3. I've Tried several different USB cables, including the ones that came with my G2x and Nexus One. I've tried it in a USB 3.0 Port. I've tried using different kernals. Even when I get into recovery, windows still doesn't read somthing is attached. I've been transfering ROMS to it via dropbox. I don't think it's a rom issue as it should still show up in windows when in recovery. Also on those roms I made sure that they didn't have "USB Fast Charge" enabled, as I heard that can cause the issue I'm experience. Thinking it was an issue with CWM, I downgraded it, but still no USB. I'm stuck here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The 1st posts pdf seems to be the most logical solution, we just need the phoneutil code for the galaxy nexus.
This seems to be a common issue with the GNex, see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23789 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539.
Please star/comment on the google issue tracker.
thanks for your post. the issue in the posts you included seem to be a different issue. those refer to the battery and charging icon, while my issue is related to the computer recognizing and connecting with the phone. i am going to post something on the google board though, i havent seen that one before. thanks!
It's the same issue...
Before I had the problem with the charging icon it started just like your problem...seems to be a problem with the usb plug....only solution is to send it to repair or exchange the phone.

What annoys me is that when I got the phone it was already rooted and I didn't have a chance to try it stock or back up the original. It was rooted with an older version, so I flashed 4.0.4 on it. Check out the reviews on newegg I'm not alone in reporting a messed with Galaxy Nexus.

I found a fix for the issue
This was a very frustrating issue for me. I just purchased the phone yesturday to have an issue like was unacceptable. After hours of frustration, I found a solution. First off, download the offical driver pack from samsungs website. Once you have the pack installed, plug the phone back in. Once you have completed this, go under development and enable USB debugging. After the debugging, you should have a stable USB connection and wired tethering will work. I hope this helps you guys with your issue. It resolved mine. This was also done running Windows 8 beta.
Hey guys so I tether once and a while when needed with my verizon gnex which works just fine with multiple devices like my laptop and nexus 7. I figured this was a piece of cake easy thing for my chromecast as well, but it appears I was wrong. I am currently on the kevdliu 4.3 rom which continues to allow my tethering ability but for some reason my chromecast cannot seem to work with it. Even if I do manage to connect to it which is rare, I cannot then access it from another device*nexus 7*. The cast button doesnt appear and when I then run the chromecast app it states that my chromecast isnt connected and tries to go through the connection process again.
So I know you are all about to say things like "maybe it wont work on the phone" or "this should go in the chromecast threads section" which for the second I almost did, but the interesting thing is my coworker with his galaxy s4 tethered just fine between my tablet and chromecast. He has tmobile and uses the official free one through them as he isnt rooted.
any suggestions?
edit, I am now seeing something interesting. It seems that although both my laptop and tablet appear to be connected to the tethering, if I started using my laptop first then the moment I picked up my tablet it then disconnects me from the internet on my laptop.
Have you figured anything out?
I currently am in the same situation too. I don't have a home wifi yet and use tethering for most of the things I do online.
I can't get anything to work whether trying to set it up from the phone or laptop.
I have a Linksys E2000 router. For some reason my new Nexus 7 times out, lags out, or fails to connect when doing basic things like browsing with Chrome, Google+, or the Play Store. I don't want to say that this only occurs with Google apps but they are what I primarily use on my tablet. This happens often enough to be extremely bothersome and I don't know what I should do. I have port forwarding enabled on my router for use with Plex on my PS3 but I don't see how that could only be effecting my Nexus 7 negatively and no other devices. If anyone has any ideas as to what I could do I would greatly appreciate it!

A kernel is what bridges hardware and software including the WiFi. You can try flashing a custom kernel and/or ROM to fix your problem.

I'm having a similar issue. It's really annoying. I have an old router so I'm going to replace it and see if it gets better.
I have same issues with Linksys. Works great on other routers. I did a factory reset of the Linksys and it seems to be better.

Hi,
I'm using Tablet Talk on Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 7 tablet installed in my car dash. The application works totally fine except for one strange issue: it appears to cut off internet to other apps installed on Nexus 7. Internet connection is shared by the phone via Bluetooth.
When Tablet Talk is connected, Youtube shows connection error, Waze navigation cannot reach its servers most of the time (though not always), Chrome browser either works extremely slowly (loading google search results for about 3 minutes) or don't work at all.
Everything works fine as soon as I disconnect Tablet Talk.
I was unable to google similar issue reported by other Tablet Talk users, so maybe I'm doing anything wrong?
Any ideas are most welcome.

If you are using Bluetooth to connect to tablet talk, and to share internet.... Then there is your problem, I think u can only have one device connected with Bluetooth at a time.
Try setting phone as mobile hotspot, and connect the nexus 7 via WiFi. Then use tablet talk in WiFi mode. And forget about Bluetooth and its narrow bandwidth.

I would agree if there is no internet at all - either Tablet Talk or internet. However, there are two things that make me believe that there's another reason: first, there is internet connection, yet somewhat flaky, in Waze navigation app, and some others, while Tablet Talk is connected. Next, Tablet Talk uses the same bluetooth connection - no extra [virtual] device or BT profile appears in the bluetooth connection list, as far as I remember.
I've asked the Tablet Talk developer about this; still awaiting their response.

Yup its still one connection but 2 data feeds, therefore 2 connections through Bluetooth. it makes sense to me this issue. That's why I never ran tablet talk this way. I know Bluetooth don't have much bandwidth.
I would be curious of the answer too. I use tablet talk just not in this configuration.

Sure, but yet it's always been sufficient for any youtube video and other tasks. I don't believe that Tablet Talk in standby mode consumes all the bandwidth... but who knows, maybe you're right. I'll try to find a tool that'll allow to monitor BT bandwidth/load, if it's technically possible. Thanks for the clue!

I'll post it here. Today I've received the developer's acknowledgement for my support inquiry - they've escalated it to 2nd level support for review.
Anyone have any luck using Teamviewer Host? When I install the app and login into my account, it appears to be connected to the Teamviewer servers and says its ready for connections. But on the Teamviewer remote console, it shows the N7 online, it just doesn't allow me to actually begin a session like it does with my other devices.
Anyone have any luck with this?
Running rooted stock 5.1.1 with Timur Kernel for fixed installation (in-car). I don't believe the Kernel is affecting the connection, I don't think it interferes with much besides power and sleep. I think it might be a Teamviewer issue with Asus devices, but want to know if anyone has any work-arounds or hints on making it work.
Nope, doesn't work for me either with Bad Boyz Nexus 7 Stock Rooted 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
Appears to connect like you say but the Remote Control tab says "Initializing Display Parameters" before it gives up after a few minutes.
Shame, it's a really handy tool.

Same for me. Running Nexus 5 rooted stock. Could be a root issue? Lots of negative comments from XDA (mostly rooted im guessing). Interestingly it asks me for root access when I try to connect.
Did you guys figure this out? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 5 (rooted)
