VNC and/or Remote Desktop

Hi,
Anyone has suggestion for good VNC and/or Remote Desktop client that work with HTC Desire?
I tested this below:
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/android.androidVNC/
It does not work.

I was searching too and found this:
w_w_w_.xtralogic.com/rdpclient.shtml
I haven't tested it.

That could be nice, but it is very expensive for something that I dont use everyday ... $19.95

I have tried this and works a treat!

No file transfer but you can
1. use as a mouse
2. play music on either the phone or PC
3. browse pictures on either the the phone or PC
4. play a film on the PC

Apparently, this works!
After I changed the VNC server from UltraVNC to RealVNC (Free version), it does work fine.
But, the "Input Mode" is not that good ... It does not feel right, using finger touch.
Still OK though, better than nothing.

Try using TeamViewer. It works well. You can also try using gosupportnow remote support service, in order to establish View Only remote connection between your HTC phone and your computer, using a browser.

Viewing Phone Screen on Pc

Hi Folks
Is it possible to view and control my phone on my pc?
thanks for any suggestions

It depends if your device is rooted. If it is then it's really easy using an app called 'Picme'. It's designed for allowing you to use your web-browser to screenshot your phone, but a (very good) side-effect of this is that you can control your phone by clicking and dragging your mouse in the browser as if it was your finger.
Otherwise the closest I've done is simulate Android on my computer, which isn't the same at all.

I tried webkey in market, it just working awesome!

With androidscreencast you can view your phone on the computer but not control it.

Try Lazydroid...you can access sms/calls/contacts from your pc browser via wifi...

In the name of Allah
I am using Remote Web Desktop.
This app have a addon that called 'Remote Control Add-on' , with this addon you can connect your phone remotly, like remote desktop on MS.Windows.
This addon use vnc server and you can connect to your phone with vnc client.

No vnc server at all
I think there is still no working free vnc-server for android as anyone who wrote sources for it
wants to earn money withit :crying: ...

file manager for mac

Hello guys I need small help, what is the best file manager application for mac? o wanna transfer music videos and pics between GN and iMac
ta for helping
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

You don't need a file manager per se...
This is the app you use to connect your GN to an OSX machine to transfer files. Google created this for the specific reason of interfacing with android devices that use MTP and not UMS.

You can also transfer over WiFi with an FTP setup. But this is easier.

Lol he doesn't need all that. If he just wants to move pics/music/vid/files back and forth, simple download from Google. Done.
And another thing on that post, I don't see how having to connect your phone via USB to sync with 'Mail', 'Address Book', iCal, iPhoto and iTunes is more seamless than simply letting everything backup wirelessly and automatically with Google services. You're making it harder on yourself by relying on your computers built-in apps. You don't buy an Android phone so that you can go back to the 2007 iPhone strategy and start plugging your phone into the computer every night to sync. That post is basically showing you how to step back from all the great things Android does.

Thanks guys I will give it a try

AirDroid 2 Enters Invite-Only Beta With Access From Any Network update 9 dec 12

If you're like me, you regularly forget your data cable at home, in hotels or at the 24-hour Pokemon Trading Card Repository. In such cases, 2011's New App of the Year, AirDroid, is a lifesaver. It's an incredibly comprehensive remote management app that lets you access your Android device via a desktop web browser, complete with file management, app installations, photo browser, and lots more. The creators are ready to step up their game with the second version of AirDroid, and have set up an invite-only beta.
The only feature confirmed by the AirDroid team is the ability to create an account and log into remote management from anywhere, which presumably includes mobile networks. This would mirror various PC remote access services, with the notable exception of actual screen control. Given the amount of polish that the original AirDroid already shows, I'm sure there will be plenty more crammed in as well.
Invites should be going out soon, so sign up if you want to get in. The beta will be three months long, give or take, after which everyone else should be able to join in the party. And if you haven't checked out the original yet, what are you waiting for

The great thing about AirDroid is that it works - it's easy to start up, and functions flawlessly (in my experience). The interface is also very polished - mimicking a desktop launcher complete with moveable icons, a task bar, and controls that allow you to do just about anything.
One of the most impressive features is the ability to access SMS messages, manage them, and send messages right from a web browser. Users can also manage contacts, uninstall/backup apps (AirDroid will download your apps as apk files), browse files, access the Android Market, and manage music and ringtones, in addition to the ability to look at phone information from CPU status to battery level and beyond.
Best of all, AirDroid is completely free from the Android Market. With all the powerful features it offers, this app is certainly worth checking out.
ITS FREE

i am using airdroid a lot at home, because it is working very good and very fast and the UI is very good, but the only problem in my opinion is that you need to connect to a shared wifi net....is there any program witch uses the WIFI direct function of the samsung galaxy s2 or that i can log in into a adhoc network?

Best app for controlling your PC/Mac from phone

Hi, All:
The other day I needed to study and take notes on a few Powerpoint slides, so I decided to take over the living television and make it my giant computer monitor. The only problem was, my HDMI cable didn't reach the couch, so I needed to find a way to remotely control my laptop. After a few minutes of browsing the Play Store, I found WiFi Mouse. One Android app install and one quick and easy computer app install later, all I had to do was tap the "auto connect" button and I was up and running. My Galaxy Nexus became a trackpad that was connected via my home WiFi network. There's even a scroll wheel in portrait mode, as well as the ability to use the Android keyboard for typing. I was also able to scroll using two finger gestures and move windows and icons using three fingers. All these features were included in the free version that I downloaded, which met my needs perfectly. For those that want extra features like hotkeys, dedicated minimize/maximize/close buttons, and an in-app keyboard, there is a paid version available for $2.99.

Team viewer is really handy, use it to help out the folks for trouble shooting their PCs, has saved me a lot of time/$ not having to drive there since they forgot how to print/upload/login.
LOL

Convenience
Easy to setup and use, the only downside is this app makes me lazy haha.

Easy to use and turns your phone in to your remote control. Love it

Real vnc is the best for me. You need a dynamic dns if you want to connect from Internet but it is very smooth and secure.

Really easy to use and to install, and a really good app overall.
WiFi Mouse maybe the best remote control app.

Works well and love sitting on the couch and being able to surf the web.

Phone My PC (http://softwareforme.com/?page_id=6) is by far the best imho. Rather then have to move the mouse around, you can just click on any area of the screen.
Aside from that, if you enable RDP on your computer you can use Microsoft's offical RDP app.
Chrome also just put out an official Android App for Chrome's remote desktop extension.

WiFi Mouse works perfect, auto connect and full screen keyboard are what i want.

Good app, it suitable for close control of the computer. Respond rapidly.

Thanks for sharing this awesome app, saving me a lot of money for a BT mouse.
