the best app on the market. use your pc from your phone.
using it right now to post this. love it.
using ultravnc with windows 7 x64. great app.
While there are better remote desktop protocols, vnc is still good.
It's free too. Which is saying something in comparison to the iphone which charges 25$ for the app.
I am willing to pay for it, but not that much.
Awesome, I just got it to work with Tightvnc.
I got androidVNC working with an Asus EEE 900 using KDE desktop sharing. It seems to work really well. And I also used wifi tether and it works as well. I also tried enabling the built-in webcam but the video feed is way slow.
Awesome App
androivnc is an awesome app. I use it with my Windows Home Server and so i can look on my homeserver from everywhere.

Are you running Xandros on your EEE or another distro? I would like to get this set up but I'm running Easy Peasy, will KDE desktop sharing work still?

Froggy, I am using default xandros in easymode. You dont have to install vnc or anything. The KDE remote desktop sharing comes preinstalled in xandros. You just have to open up a terminal and type in
Code:
/home/user>kfrb
to start up the desktop sharing. and if you have androidVNC installed on the g1 you can connect to the eee very easily. my network is setup as wifi tether and i have also tried having both the eee and the g1 on a wireless access point on my network. I havent tried connecting over the internet but i pretty sure it will work.
UltraVNC
I am currently using UltraVNC (WINVNC).
This is pretty slow. Sweet. But slow. I was wondering if anyone has tried multiple servers to benchmark speed.
Or i'm at least trying to identify if one is faster than the other.
Thanks all.
Does it work with RealVNC?
Thanks

This app will let you control your computer through via both 3g and wifi. The companion WONT work for win 7 home which is what i have. So i have a question: Anyone know a way to make it work for win 7 home or another app that will work the same way?

Which is $30, whereas this looks like it's free. I'm in the process of installing the free app on the market, and the free desktop companion as well.
OP, have you tried it? Most features that work on one work on the other, so might want to give it a go at least.
1. androidVNC on captivate
2. tightvnc on all home computers
3. all computers wake on lan
4. add a dash of dropbox and some dd-wrt lock down on the side
5. enjoy complete remote access and admin
Bonus: I like that VNC has dual monitor support. Both screens show on your device with "pinch and zoom" and touch scrolling capability.
What about going the other direction?
I'd like to control the Captivate from my Windows 7 PC x64 running a VNC viewer.
What apps are the best for that?
I can't get droidVNC to work. It always rejects the correct password.
I agree with agentdr8. LogMeIn is easily the best way to go. I'd love if TeamViewer made an android app though. It seem unfair that iOS gets all the loving.

I know it has. I switched over on release day and never looked back. Very polished for a beta app.
Sent from my Captivate
PocketCloud does not seem to function after only two successful logins (very cool when it worked). I don't know if it is a limited demo thing or it broke (can't find any mention of limitations . . . ).
I love TeamViewer (used it to help family with computer problems before) but I can't get it to run on my Dell Streak running Froyo (always comes up ForceClose).
Will have to try VNC and see how that works for me.
I'm in IT and plan on most likely getting a Captivate from work for my job. I will be using VPN to connect to my work network (ipsec) and then using a remote desktop app to support people remotly when I am not in front of a computer. (No WiFi at work)
I currently have an iPhone 4 as a personal phone, and I know that I can use the logmein app to connect to computers and use the phone at the same time. I'm assuming I can do this on the captivate also. I was hoping to get the fascinate for the flash, and the fact that Verizon works much better at one of my remote offices, but the fascinate will not be able to do voice + data at the same time right? Also from what I read it has less RAM available.
Does anyone else work in IT and use this phone? What are your experiences with it as far as helping you on the job?
1) ass-u-me : but, in this case, you're correct https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/...oid&campaign=us&destination=/welcome/android/
2) It is likely that the VZW will not be able to do both transmissions at once, based on network type, but since I don't have VZ, or access to a fascinate.. ICSFS
3) Does Verizon really work that much better (actual experience) or is it just what the bars on the phone say... don't trust the bar display as an accurate detail.

I can give you some incite in the IT category. I maintain multiple networks with the company I work for, and there are a handful of apps on the market place that act as an RDP connection for logging on to servers and whatnot with a FQDN (Which I'm sure would work with the IP, but haven't personally tried it). Of course, if you use listen/forward on certain ports, you can get into those as well. My company uses a program that utilizes an instance of VNC to manage the workstations. I haven't had the time to sit down and try to crack that one yet, but I'm sure it could be done somehow. Our company just made the switch over to Google Apps hosted email so I've never used Exchange with it, but I've heard it works just fine.
I'm thinking here........
Ah yes, we all use Outlook. Calendar invitations import right into Google calendar perfectly. Contacts/email can be synced using Samsung Kies, but only with the default TouchWiz launcher, which I do not prefer. Dropbox works perfectly, yay!
Off the top of my head that's all I can think of. If you have any questions regarding certain areas, please let me know, and I'll give you as much info as I have.
* Oh, and I can confirm, Verizon does not support Voice+Data at the same time. My buddy has a DROID X and he can't even get an email while on a call, much less have an RDP session going.
Here's my IT experience. I personally think the stock email has issues. Everything works fine except for 2 things:
1. Emails are not instant. I thought I had a bad phone, swapped it, and no improvement. With any other phone I had previously owned (iPhone 3g, HTC Fuze, Blackjack II), emails would always arrive at the same time or even before Outlook would get them. Now I get anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minute delay.
2. No NTLM support. Even with an iPhone I can connect to local wireless using Safari and use my domain authentication to access our intranet. I have yet to find a way to negotiate windows authentication on this android. I hear that mozilla is putting out a mobile browser (Fennec I believe) that may support it. Or hopefully 2.2 will add this functionality.
There are clients for RDP and even a couple for VNC. I installed one for VNC but never used it. I used WYSE RDP and love it.
Other than those 2 issues,i love it. I haven't tried setting up the VPN yet (pointless to me without NTLM), but that's all I'm missing.
I wish I had a tab or phone that I could install something like an admin tool pack on that would give me Active Directory tools on the go (besides the obvious RDP to a server). Maybe I'll have to wait for a windows phone 7 tablet........unless someone knows something I don't, I'd loved to hear some good news.

I am in IT as well and find this to be leaps and bounds better when coming from blackberry 9700
I use remote rdp and logmein ignition. I have direct push with exchange 2007 and the Gal is supported.
One complaint i have is with the email client. If you have rules setup to automatically sort mail without it being read, gl finding it on the phone. I had to turn all rules off and have everything delivered to the inbox.
Other then that i can pretty much do everything i think except dell drac console. But i hardly ever need to use those and if i did, i got bigger problems and should whip out the laptop.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I'll second what was said here, as a server admin, my phone is indispensable. I use VNC and RDP all the time, leave my home computer signed into VPN(it's a work provided laptop that has port 3389 forwarded) and just RDP into that, and then use it on my work domain. Or use the mobile AP functionality with a netbook running 7 Enterprise w/ VPN. No worrying about hotspot locations.
Exchange works great for me on it, no issues with active sync on E2k7. I do kind of wish we had an OCS 2007 R2 compliant messaging app for it. That's about all I could really use that isn't already available.

For me, ActiveSync to the Captivate is as fast as my BlackBerry 9700 using BES which is pretty darn fast! Now if only the email client worked with all my sub-folders and allowed me to move emails, etc., I'd be happy.
Search for issues with IMAP and Exchange accounts on the ANDROID platform. I've personally had my IMAP and Exchange email accounts disappear from my phone completely, 3 times in the last month.
This is a know issue across all the Android phones and a problem that is still present in Froyo, kinda disappointing that Google can't get their act together and fix this MAJOR issue.....
There are great email replacement apps out there that solve the problem. The best replacement in my opinion at least is K9. I wouldn't use the version in the Market as it's a few versions old but the latest releases can be found on the googlecode page.
Replacement Apps???
I never needed a replacement app on my BlackBerry or Iphone so I could receive email? That to me is just plain absurd and unacceptable.

Android is in its infancy. How many version of windows mobile where there before you got activesync direct push access? Did you have exchange support on the original iphone?
Clearly anyone with a brain can see that the android platform is the most open platform today and compared to all others is more like an actual computer then just a phone.
I came from a blackberry and I hate to admit that I was a fanboy for the last 5 years or so... But after going android, the blackberry is the biggest pos and I give RIM 2 years before they become PALM.
The fact that you can run a 3rd party app that can handle your email, your phone or your sms functionality is amazing. However hard developers try to make a one size fits all... it may work for majority, but not all.
I have had zero issue with android and exchange activesync. My accounts don't disappear. Maybe you should take a look at your environment and see what is going on behind the scenes on your mail server or probably at your crappy anti-spam filter. I got emails instantly on my captivate before i get them on my computer, just like my blackberry did.
Yeah, must be my filters causing the account settings to be wiped from my phone on multiple accounts instantaneously....
Come on dude?
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4866
Kinda hard to make progress on a platform when your preventing the corporate world from adopting due to serious issues with non Gmail accounts?
I'm a Sr. Sys admin and my experience using the captivate on the job has been great. By connecting to our wpa2 enterprise I've SSH'd into routers and switches using Better Terminal (BTEP SSH Client). It's great not having to drag a laptop and a rollover cable into a server room while working with a switch. I've used the WYSE's beta client which supports RDP, VNC and VM View. I'm also a big fan of Astro file manager which has an add-on for connecting to SMB shares. We've also setup a Rove Mobile Admin server. it's an SSL encrypted publicly accessible server which utilizes an android app from which i can manage everything from BES, to SQL, to Exchange, to AD. Its an expensive license but very very well worth it. and while i do think the stock active sync client is usable i've found that TouchDown offers a much more advanced product complete with meeting invites and GAL support. Again, this is a great phone for for IT work!
Hmmm, I just wonder what is different about the heartbeat to Exchange with Android than it is with every other phone. I agree it could be some mysterious setting that needs adjusted on Exchange, but I'll probably worry about it after we upgrade from 03 to 07.
Doesn't matter......phone rocks.

Hey guys,
Sorry to say but my laptop just died on me...
So im wondering about the capability of the nook color, which im using to write right now.
how does the ubuntu run compared to the honeycomb?
I am looking for msword capabilities and external keyboard capabilities especially.
thanks for all the inputs
I wish they'd get ubuntu netbook or jolicloud on the nook color
From what I recall they couldn't get wifi working on ubuntu last time I checked, not sure how progress has been on that front

Particularly I am wondering how good ubuntu software that is already available to nook really is. i've never used ubuntu before.
on a side note, can anyone tell me if there is a way to boot straight into win7 from an external hard drive? a link would be nice since the internet on the nook is lacking, and having no undo button sucks too.
currently have the nook color running phiremod and samsung fascinate superclean, but no computer with sdk or adb access..

I haven't personally tried running ubuntu on the NC yet, but from the way I understand it, its not going to be a notebook replacement anytime soon.
If you really need to use the NC to replace a real PC at the moment, I'd be looking more in the direction of using dolphin browser and a bluetooth keyboard while running CM7.
On your sidenote, did just the HD on your pc die?
http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/01/21/seven-steps-to-a-bootable-windows-7-thumb-drive/
You will need a working PC to do it and IIRC you need win7 to make the drive bootable the way he describes, although it may be possible in vista, I don't recall.

Yeah, once a release CM7 is nailed down with functional bluetooth and good compatibility with a couple of BT keyboards I could definitely see using the NC as a laptop replacement (just install a decent office app and you're good to go).

Isn't that possible now.
Remember the Nook is a well specc'd Android e-book that just so happens is capable of being expanded to full Android tablet functionality. It is not a laptop replacement but can be used for light supplementary laptop like work.
So...
Watch Youtube
Watch ripped video's
Listen to music, Pandora etc
Email (Web based email such as Hotmail/Gmail as well as IMAP, POP3 and corporate Exchange email)
Browse the web (Flash currently sucks horribly when it can be made to work)
Read and do VERY basic creation and editing of MS Office docs through apps such as "Docs to Go"
Right now, using CM7 there is VERY limited BT connectivity available, we are taking 2-24 inches at best in range. There is NO USB hub functionality and no idea if that can even be enabled (although if anyone can get it to work it will be the CM7 guys...)
This is all a work in progress and to be honest if you're set on a touchscreen slate/tablet that can run Office apps, Outlook etc get a Win 7 built slate like the EXOPC etc.
I have ubuntu running on an older laptop and love it - I have a macbook air for my own use, wife and I each have dell windows laptops for work, son has a high end windows system for gaming - I'm very agnostic about computers.
I took one of my step-daughter's old windows laptops and repurposed it to ubuntu. Prior to the macbook air, this was my machine for personal use - android development, etc. Ubuntu is fiddlier than windows to get set up - finding the right driver's can take some effort - but I've found the performance you get from your hardware to be exceptional. There are a lot of good software solutions available on ubuntu now - open office has free software that largely replaces word, ppt, excel. Graphics are nice, chrome and firefox are both available and are very stable, and updating and maintenance aren't a big issue. My wife uses it now as her primary non-work computer - does all her options trading on it. I'd definitely look at ubuntu on an older machine if you don't require windows compatibility for work reasons. Unix was an amazing concept and its children have been very successful - linux, ubuntu (variation of linux), mac osX, iOS, android.
My macbook air though is by *far* the best computer I've ever owned, followed by the ubuntu laptop which shames my work dell laptop running windows XP. The macbook is incredibly stable and *fast* compared to my work laptop which is severely bogged down by corporate software. Office 2011 on my macbook is far faster than office 2010 on my windows laptop which has the faster processor. Windows doesn't have to be slow but gets severely clogged up very quickly.
The nook color is not a substitute for any of these. It really is suited for content consumption rather than creation - I wouldn't want to write a report on this. If I were strapped for money, I'd look for an inexpensive or used pc laptop. On the used one, I'd put on ubuntu.
Peter
I'm assuming the Nook Color is a little less powerful than my g tablet. That being said, I'd opt for a netbook, maybe one of the convertible ones if I needed to type anything but needed small size.

Yea i've done all of that, and everything works fine except msoffice capabilites and how good the bluetooth keyboard is thru wifi. Im typing thru slideit right now, and although the best keyboard so far for the nook, its function is limited by the screen which can register things one at a time not very fast.
I am not looking for another tablet, but something that can run win7 relatively fast. My computer died after me spilling hot water on it, nothing turns on so im thinking that the hdd isn't affected, only the power supply. My usb coincidentally has win7 on it but for installing. Ive heard of ubuntu bootable drives, anything for windows?

Hi
My phone lumia 930 so windows 8.1
I have seen on US market is Putty, unfortunately cannot download it because stay in uk
I tried to change region for US in phone but doesn't work
Anyone have idea how to install apps from other country app store or know working ssh client which will connect with my qnap nas server?
There's lots of WP SSH clients. I haven't tested them all on 8.1, but they should work. Have you considered just checking the store for "ssh"?
The one I use is called "The SSH Client". The free version works quite well, although there's a paid version with more features.
Yeah, there is few of them and some working but in lan only.
If I'm trying get connected from outside my lan will revive only : This port is not supported by ssh.
Port is properly redirected but different as standard.
Any way it shouldn't be a problem I have putty on my windows rt and connecting without any problems.

Well if you're familiar with SSH then you must of heard about PUTTY , so i'm happy to inform you that there is a working WP8 version of PUTTY, for now it's in closed beta, but you can be part of it, just be sure to drop the developer an email( the default MS account on the device ) for beta access at [email protected]
Can confirm eventhou it's still in beta it's working like a charm.
PROOF : PUTTY
Any decent SSH client, including the one I recommended, supports custom ports... but hey, that PuTTY looks pretty good too!

Hi...great to see some input from the dev., I'm an system admin and rely heavily on your app. so thank you for bringing this awesome tool to WP.
Also maybe it's time to make the app public, as I don't have any problems with it, so general everyone should be fine with it.
Many thanks again.

Yup, there are a few things that need sorting out. For some people it occasionally crashes when they connect and it's related to loading the sound files used for the system beep and the keyboard clicks. I've not been able to get to the bottom of that yet but the next minor update has some improved crash reporting which should help.
There is also a few people experiencing some problems whilst tunnelling.
I can't reproduce either of this bugs though in the emulator or any of my phones. Once they're sorted though I should be taking it public

Neither of those affected me, maybe poor net signal is the culprit of tunnelling errors.
Can I really view internal system files using SHSH client on WP? I own Lumia 920.
No, you would need an SSH *server* for that. I don't have one of those (although it should be possible to write or port one), but an FTP / Telnet server is pretty easy.
Alternatively, you can use the Webserver app in my signature.
Note that in either case, this will let you browse only small parts of the file system (the Windows directory and the application's own directories). The AllCapabilities version of the webserver has more access (it can see other apps, your documents and media folders, OEM folders, and the entire SD card), but is still restricted. You need capability-unlock (usually means a Samsung phone) to install the AppCaps version of the app.
