Hello again,
WOOHOO, finally, a working VNC server for my phone.
I have been using VMlite VNC Server for many years to "remote desktop" into my phone.
Even though I have Magisk rooted my Pixel4XL running Android 11 there seemed to be no way to VNC anymore.
I guess I lucked out and stumbled on the app called "alpha vnc lite" $8.99 Canadian, but it's definitely worth the cost of a couple Mochas
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.abr.android.avnc&hl=en_CA
Doesn't "seem" to be malware or anything, so I am super happy to be able to VNC again.
Cheers you all!

Hi all,
Anyone have any software recommendations for a VPN client for HTC Artemis. Using Cisco VPN backend server but not sure if Cisco do a PocketPC version??
Any help?
Thanks
I tried bluefire for a while. Worked nice with our Cisco VPN 3005 concentrator.
You can download a 30 days trial on http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/.

the only available free vpn-client is www.securew2.org - runs great!
i cant get it to wotk on my orbit? any ideas?
not quite the same...
but a tool im finding very useful at the moment.
SOTI Pocket Controller Professional.
great for work that I can control my phone and look busy. when im actually texting away on my phone with my keyboard etc. fantastic tool. and now today I cracked my screen so I need to buy another one. £40 on ebay unless anyone knows anywhere cheaper?
My mate uses this tool too but he didnt pay for it as he got a serial from the net the illegal bugger. Its a good ap though and worth checking out some of the other aps they got. comes with free trial if your curious. has many other features too like a dos prompt to the phone and stuff.
but for now I can plug my phone on and it autosyncs and I can connect and use it. just hope battery doesnt fail or Ill be prompted for password before it will active sync (I think)... or maybe as noone could actually use my screen. I think its safe to remove all password security as a safety measure.
Greetings to all,
After three years of faithful service, i feel that my trusty Kaiser is ready to retire. It has served me well and survived a lot (including being dropped in sea water), but it is time to move on. I think i will just keep my Kaiser in the car as a gpsnav until tomtom is released for Android...
Anyway, I am almost set on buying the Desire, but i was wondering if someone could answer the following: I use Bluefire VPN (with group authentication) to access my work email. Is there something that would work equally well on Android?
Thanks for any information you might have.

The desire has a VPN set up option built in, I don't use it and don't know if it is what you are looking for, but it is worth checking out.

Thanks for responding buddy. I will try and find out more info if i can. Problem is that i cannot test it unless i get another android phone on my hands.
VPN on the desire does what it should. It makes it act as if you were connected to that network. You browse the web through it, you can retrieve exchange mail, etc. I have not yet found a way to access network computers though.
In order to access network computers, you can try Remote RDP from the market. There is a free version "Lite" with which I was not so happy. Since the exchange mail works fine, and since the screen is still too small to really work on the Desire like on a network computer (although it is way bigger than the screen of the Kaiser, I also had one), I decided not to invest into the pay version of Remote RDP and leave it. Actually, I don't miss anything.
Hi there,
does anyone know how to use VPN with a token? Have not found out....and currently I need it but is useless...
Also, can I use this VPN and its settings to get connected to "secret"/hidden network? My company uses a secret net, which the Desire does not find....but was thinkning that if I could set up correctly this net I can login into it (but we use RSA tokens).
Anyone who can help?
thanks
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
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.

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...

Same here, trying to get this one running at the moment. It runs and I can connect to the ouya via vnc but I get a black screen, it still allows me to blindly interact with the ouya but I can't see anything in the vnc window.
To get it working I had to fix the issue with libsurfaceflinger_client.so.
