Is anyone having an issue with rdp clients connecting and then suddenly dropping 5G or LTE on the pixel 6 or pro? Some people on the other Reddit threads are saying Verizon is the issue.
EDIT/UPDATE: I now have done a little more troubleshooting. I took my pixel 6 pro and tried using Chrome remote desktop on 5G and LTE and when I connect it automatically shuts down the radio and turns on the radio again and does this as an endless loop if you're trying to get into Chrome remote desktop.
Then I masked my data by using VPN and on 5G and LTE the same behavior happens when using Chrome remote desktop.
After these failed, then I turned on hotspot with a VPN and VPN tethering and connected my other device with Chrome remote desktop installed. An apple device, connected to my PC that I remoted into.
Before I didn't have to do any of this and could just connect to the RDP client on Verizon with 5G and LTE on my previous pixel device.
I need to bump this.. can anyone with a pixel 6 or pro try using any remote desktop client and verify it works on any isp with 5g or LTE? Does mobile connection disconnect over and over?

I use Remote Desktop and it works fine on LTE/5G on my 6 Pro.
who's your carrier? I remember a carrier in the US was blocking remote desktop port and the only way around it was to use a VPN or to change the port number. If you Google it you'll see the issue (I think it was VZW and any company using their infrastructure).
sidenote, there's a reason why carriers block this port and specifically rdp. it's one of the worst security holes you'll ever create. Create a VPN on your network and login to your PC using this method. Or even TeamViewer is a better option than opening up rdp to the web. Horrible, horrible idea, and it shouldn't be allowed (internal is ok but even then it's not recommended and should always be avoided).

It's interesting that you say that, I've been using every other pixel phone with RDP on Verizon and it was no issue until the pixel 6 pro.
UPDATE: I added more information to 1st post.

If you can access remote desktop locally then there shouldn't be a difference (unless your Carrier or router is blocking the connection) but....
I've never heard of an app shutting down a mobile connection that is bizarre behavior. Just all I can think of is making sure all your apps and play services are updated That's two different things and your system and play system (also 2 different things, 4 Total). restart your device, also force LTE mode for now in network settings, see if that helps.
when you open Chrome remote desktop on Android when exactly does the mobile connection reset or change?
can you duplicate that every single time? If you can I would reach out to Google and provide then with the bug...
In any event does that happen with just the MS remote desktop app?

It's interesting that this only has occurred now and I use the exact same provider for 10 years and every other pixel device works with multiple RDP clients

I updated my comment while thinking it over ..
does it happen on both remote desktop apps on your Pixel 6? (the network change?) it might not actually be an issue and your problem is most likely Verizon. Tons of threads on VZW official forums about this on their network - again they do it for a good reason but its not all Verizon Customers and good luck getting any help from them (worth to try though)
I just tested Chrome Remote Desktop on my 6 Pro's 4G to my desktop and it's working without a hitch.

So TeamViewer rdp works. Chrome remote desktop does not... Something screwy is going on here.

Hi!
I was able to do Remote Desktop by connecting with my tilt 2 to my local Network so I used my Desktops address (192.168.1.4) as computer name and I was able to connect with the Tilt2.
Now, I am trying to figure out how to do the same but when I am not home thus connected to my network.
I tried using my REAL IP address but it was not able to connect to it.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate any my tilt 2 has a stock 6.5
Thanks
You'll need to set up port forwarding on your router. Looks like this site has a bunch of guides to do so. You need to set it up to forward port 3389 to your desktop address (looks like 192.168.1.4) and you should be good to go, no specific config necessary on your tp2.
Edit: As a side note for security's sake only allow non-administrator accounts to remotely connect and make sure you use strong passwords!
That worked out great...thanks mate!
Yeah thanks Toleraen! I was just now finally getting around to check out the remote desktop client on both my phones, and was looking for exactly that
Glad I could help
Pretty cool to do this indeed...any other software you consider better than this to remote in to my PC?

I hear VNC get recommended a lot, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet (I'll do that once I've tried remote desktop). I've attached the cab for it, but I can't find any threads on it's use, you'll have to dig that up yourself
I must have tried a million different settings over several hours and never was able to connect via 3G or even locally when hooked in through wifi. I used to be able to do this with my Treo 750 with little hassle. I have the port forwarding set up on my Linksys WCG200 router. I have even tried turning all firewalls and encryption off. No joy. Anyone else have a Windows XP setup with a Linksys router that has had success with a Tilt 2 stock ROM? Note: I do not have a static IP. Has anyone successfully done this with a dynamic IP?
I am doing it to Windows 7 with a dynamic IP...I just make sure I got the one for the day(week) before living home if I want to remote in from work.
I use Hamachi to create a VPN connection and then remote into my PC that way, leave hamachi running on my desktop and then just run the mobile version on my phone when I want to remote in, that way there are no open port security issues to worry about and the VPN IP address never changes.
Is it any slower or faster than Remote Desktop?

I use "Remote Touch Server" to remotely access my computer. The main reason i use it is because it keeps your computer on while you are accessing it. I use it for a handheld monitor for powerpoint presentations. That way I can see what the computer is doing, and tap the screen to advance to the next slide
Hi,
I'm stuck for a while without internet access except via 3G. I've got a dev phone running the Mango beta 2.
I was wondering if anyone had an idea about how I could make a proxy server or any other kind of tethering for it.
I was looking to use HttpListener or Sockets.Listen but both are unavailable for the phone.
I thought I might have to make a server application for the laptop that has a proxy server listening port and a phone listening port then have an application on the phone that connects to the server app. Once established, pass requests on from the laptop app to the phone app and get the phone to do the requests.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of how to do this over sockets is limited and if anyone could give me some advice I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Depending on which phone you have it might be possible to switch into teethering mode in the MFG app (usually installed by dialing ##634#).
HTC 7 Trophy .. I'm not aware of a way to use tethering on that.

Do you have a old Windows mobile 6.5 device sitting around ? Then for the temp window you need it, switch ESN/SIM to your 6.5 device, wi-fi teather, then swap back ESN/SIM when you need it...
Depending on your carrier....I know with Verizon, I can change hardware on-line
I'm unaware of how the network stack works in WP7.
If you're connected to WiFi, in your application can you choose to use 3G or WiFi? Maybe there are some P/Invoke calls you could do?
If so, then connect your phone to a router ... same with your laptop. Then relay HTTP(S) between the two connections.
Otherwise, we'll need to be able to execute native applications.
I have the apk, still doesn't work. Is there anyway I can make the app think this phone is in the states?
btw if it matters I'm Canadian.
Use a VPN. Maybe Market enabler might work aswell.
I've never used it so I don't know though
That wouldn't work. Pandora itself checks to make sure you are in the right place, so I don't think market enabler would work.
Also, asking someone to thank you is douchey.

A VPN or some other kind of proxy to the United States would be the only way.
I'm in Canada and can confirm you that Pandora will work if you connect via VPN or proxy... Same thing for Netflix, hulu, mog etc

I use a PPTP VPN service from http://www.strongvpn.com when I am out of the US. It's stable and I can stream Pandora for hours but on occasion I need to reset the connection.

I'm also using strong VPN! Yes the connection is real stable, what I did is I bought their router... now when I connect to the strong vpn router I'm virtually in the us, if I use my regular router I'm here in Canada like I suppose too.

Hey big samm,
I didn't buy their router but actually configured their OpenVPN Lite service on my dd-wrt flashed router. I use the PPTP service on my mobile devices. Don't want to sound like an advert but once you sign up for OpenVPN you can get the PPTP service for just $2 per month. PPTP is flawed with insecurities but serves my temporary needs when on the road...

VPN only need at app start
Also, once you open up Pandora and wait for a couple of seconds you can disconnect from VPN - it only checks for country when it first loads and when you use the the thumbs up and down or try to tweak your stations. Skip works however. I have been trying to find a PPTP app (VPNRoot doesn't work for me: MS-CHAP authentication request denied error) that I can automate to connect to VPN prior to Pandora that works on ICS+. Apparently TOR does this, I just don't want something running all the time using up battery.

Sorry if this is a stupid assumption or question, if you can get the apk file for pandora is it not possible to edit/modify the apk not to send ip information? Rather than having to install another app to block the ip like VPN?
Howdy folks, I am looking to find out if there is a way to have Wifi show as active and the primary network connection when the FireTV is actually connected via Ethernet. Many apps, specifically streaming apps, require a wifi connection and will not run without it. I prefer to run my FireTV via Ethernet due to the environment mine is in.
This type of hack or workaround would also be useful for the Ouya and any other android device that has an Ethernet port.
To sum up, I am looking for a hack or workaround that will present the Ethernet connection as Wifi to the OS or applications.
I found this document, and page 30 reference what I am looking to do:
http://www.elinux.org/images/9/98/Dive_Into_Android_Networking-_Adding_Ethernet_Connectivity.pdf
Thoughts?
Thanks!
This would benefit our android phones as many apps won't work over carrier network to avoid data overages. I got unlimited data and get better speeds from Verizon than I do at home. If it was an app, xposed module, or some other mod, I would pay for it.

A better way would be contacting the developers of that particular app and having them fix it, so that Ethernet is treated the same way as Wi-Fi.

It is only an assumption, but I am guessing that apps such as the Xfinity TV app by Comcast are setup that way so that people can not use devices such as the FireTV and the Ouya as a replacement for renting a set top box from them. Yes, I can get around this issue by going on wifi, but why use an worst connection method when there may be another way around it? Also Androids open environment is supposed to encourage the creation of alternative ways of doing things.
Looking through other threads, there appears to be a desire for an app that spoofs wifi for people who are also only on 4G or other wireless methods. Having an app on android that could spoof a wifi connection when you are 3G or 4G wireless would be just as useful for some people.

I can see the usefulness of such an app, but it would probably require a rooted device. As far as I know, Fire TV has not been rooted yet.
It has been rooted. But the method has not been shared yet. I believe he said it wasn't ready for release yet. Something along those lines. At any rate it will be eventually

Since Fire TV is rooted how do we go about faking WiFi when wired?
Looks like it actually exists!

You need Xposed installed to run it.
Enjoy!
I have an issue with the stock VPN where it goes haywire when I use Always-on. Connecting to it without Always-on is fine.
If anyone out there can try Always-on VPN, do you get a DNS failure on all pages?
My VPN is IPSec, wondering if yours works and, what type of VPN it is.
Thanks!

What are you running you VPN server on? I had a similar issue. I also couldn't use my VPN when on 3g/4g had to be on wifi but it worked okay on all my other phones with the same server. I was running my own vpn server on my Unifi security gateway.
My fix was to create a openVPN server. Now always on VPN works perfectly I stay connected 10-12 hours a day no issues

I was running a L2TP server. I bet that's your issue. The OG pixel XL and the Pixel 2 XL were the only 2 devices I have had issues on. Before that with the same server I used my S8 note 8 LG G6 and iPhone 7 all with the same server setup the same way with no issues.
Does pfSense support openVPN? Have you test this with any other devices?
